My green plums are very sour

Similar to what I guessed yesterday, this party is basically a group of demons dancing, eating and drinking.Because it was to see off colleagues, there were very few chances to meet each other in the future, so everyone let go to play.

I originally planned to avoid drinking with the excuse that I was ill—the wisdom tooth hurt and the gums were inflamed, but everyone got emotional and couldn’t care so much, so they kept booing me to join.In desperation, I could only drink two glasses.Fortunately, it was beer, and I could still hold on with a little drink.

Of course, it is impossible to enjoy yourself just by eating.The location of our company is also very interesting. In addition to restaurants, there are also many entertainment venues in the shopping mall downstairs, which is very suitable for gatherings with colleagues after get off work.

As a regular party program, a group of people from the department went to the ktv on the upper floor of the restaurant after dinner, called a big box and started howling.

My gums are still swollen, and it is very difficult to even speak. Naturally, I have no way to participate, and I have no interest today, so I can only nest in the corner of the sofa and watch my colleagues mess around.

The amount of two glasses of beer is not much, but it is enough to make my hands and feet weak.Although the mind is still [-]% clear, but the limbs are uncoordinated and unable to move.

I was a little fidgety all night, pulling out my phone to check the time from time to time, not on the same frequency as anyone else in the room at all.

Ning Ran didn't know what was going on, and there had been no movement since the afternoon.Maybe there are other things to be busy after rearranging the itinerary.I'm not sure, but I can't find a better reason for it than that.

I was bored in the box, but I didn't plan to go back for a while. Anyway, there was no one at home, and it was deserted, so I might as well join in the fun among the crowd.Watching the colleagues I usually know vent wantonly in the venue, and laughing with everyone, I can barely have some fun for myself.

Around 10:30, my spirits recovered a little, and my phone finally lit up after hours of silence.I rubbed my hazy eyes, unlocked them and held them under my eyelids.

- I'm almost home.

-Did you go back?

I looked at the time intently, and it was so late when I didn't pay attention.But it seems that Ning Ran came back a little earlier than expected.

-Not yet, but you can go anytime.

I sat up straight and was about to stand up when the manager turned around with a glass of wine drunk.

"Hehehe, what are you doing? You've been hiding all night, and you're planning to run away early?" The manager put his arms on my shoulders and leaned over to catch me.

"It's already 10:30, I should go. You guys keep on playing, I sneak out, you just pretend you didn't see it."

"What's the rush. Wait a minute. Everyone has to go to work tomorrow, and we're going to leave later. You wait to go out together, and there will be a taxi on the way to take care of you." The manager conveniently took a full glass of beer from the coffee table and handed it to him. I, then glanced at BP surrounded by the crowd, "Besides, why don't you go say hello and have a drink before you leave?"

"I--"

"What are you?"

I rubbed between my brows, shook my head and said nothing, unlocked and sent Ning Ran another message.

-Maybe it will be a little later, and we won't be able to leave for a while.

The manager has been staring at the side. Seeing me send a message, he sneaked up and took a peek. He was so drunk that he didn't know what he could see.I leaned sideways to block her, and clicked on the unread messages.

-where are you?Is it far from home?

-The shopping mall next to the company, the ktv on the fourth floor.

-I'm home now.

- That's very close. Let me come and pick you up.

There was no need to think about it at all, and I subconsciously refused.She just got off the plane and got home, so it's only reasonable to have a good rest.

- No, I'll be back later by myself.

However, Ning Ran always becomes very stubborn at such times.

-I'll pick you up.

There was no room for negotiation in the tone.I was a little anxious, once she decided to do something, she couldn't persuade her at all.It's just that it's such a cold day and it's late, how could I let her come out to pick me up with peace of mind?

Fortunately, the manager still had some sense. Seeing that I was frowning, he thought something was wrong, so he restrained his joking expression and patted me on the shoulder. He went to find BP with a drink in his hand.The wine bureau, which might have lasted for a while, ended early.Since everyone had to go to work the next day, no one felt that there was anything wrong.

Although I was in a hurry to leave, I didn't want to be too obvious. This would attract people's attention and make it difficult to get away.

A group of people dawdled, packed their belongings and took a group photo, and another twenty minutes passed without knowing it.According to Ning Ran's speed, he must have been waiting downstairs for a while.

I could hardly bear my temper, and when I saw a colleague going to take the elevator together, I hurriedly sneaked in.

At this time, many stores have closed their doors, and the shopping mall has become silent, leaving only some dim lights, which are completely unrecognizable.

After getting off the elevator and stepping out of the small door, the biting cold wind blows on the face, blowing on the face like a cold slap.

I just stood still and prepared to look around, as if I had been guided somewhere, my sight immediately locked on the thin figure ten meters away.

Ning Ran was stomping on the spot with her arms folded, her soft hair was a little disheveled by the cold wind, and she looked a bit embarrassed.

She was facing my direction and walked over immediately when she saw me coming out.

"Can we go?" Ning Ran frowned and smiled, the dim lights on the side of the road concealed the tiredness on her face, but some clues could still be heard in her voice.

I nodded, just as I was about to speak, I felt a dull pain in my cheeks, and I immediately wrinkled my face and shrugged my nose.

Ning Ran stretched out his hand as if wanting to touch my face, but suddenly stopped halfway, and put his hands on my scarf, tidying it up for me twice.

A lot of people came out one after another, those who drove started to go to the parking lot, and the rest of them called taxis by the side of the road.

The manager and BP were the last to come out, and neither of them drank less, but they didn't seem to be completely drunk yet.

"Hey, why are you in a hurry? Someone from home is here to pick you up." The manager noticed Ning Ran who was standing with me, and smiled at me.

I curled the corners of my mouth in embarrassment, Ning Ran's brows were raised proudly out of the corner of my eye.

BP also laughed, and then waved his hand, "It's late at night, go back early and rest. Be careful on the road!"

The boss has let go, so I naturally don't need to keep greeting anyone, and leave with Ning Ran after saying goodbye.

The streets in winter nights are very quiet, and the cold weather drives people back home early, with only occasional cars passing by on the road, bringing a roar.

It seems extraordinarily cold tonight.I was walking ahead, the smell of alcohol was blown away by the biting cold air, and there was almost nothing left, and my heavy brain was frozen awake.Ning Ran was half a step behind me, slowly, but always maintained the same pace.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind whizzed from behind, and the dead tree branches on the roadside were blown loudly.

I stopped, hunched my neck in place and waited for the wind to pass, Ning Ran also stopped, moved her body and stood directly behind me.

She suddenly laughed softly, and her breath sprayed on the back of my head, because I was so close, I could hear it quite clearly.

As soon as I turned my head, my eyes were blown shut before I could speak.

Ning Ran opened her hand to block my eyes, with an unusually soft expression.

"I just remembered that when we were studying, every time we went to and from school, you were always in front of me to protect me from the wind."

This was a long time ago.

I was in a daze for a while, and didn't respond for a long time. When I came back to my senses, I quickly scratched my eyebrows to cover up.

When he put his hand down, he inadvertently touched her, as if there was an ice cube on the back of his hand.

Ning Ran reacted quickly and wanted to withdraw his hand, but after being stared at for a while, he honestly stretched it out again, with both hands spread out in front of my eyes, looking a little stiff in posture.

I frowned and slowly held it up, feeling the heat in my body drain from the palm of my hand for a moment.

With my hands so cold, it's no wonder I suddenly stopped to straighten my scarf just now.

I lowered my eyelids and turned around to continue walking, but I didn't let go of my hands. I sighed secretly from the bottom of my heart, as if I had stuffed a ball of cotton in my heart. It felt soft to the touch, but it was still a bit clogged.

After entering the house, Ning Ran's hands were barely warm enough to move freely.

She took the electric kettle and went to the kitchen to boil water. As soon as I went back to the bedroom and changed clothes, I saw her pointing at the kitchen door with some hesitation, "That pot on the countertop is...?"

I tilted my head and looked in the direction of her finger, "Didn't you say you wanted soup?"

Ning Ran blinked, as if a little surprised.

"Didn't you see it when you came back?"

"No... I just came back and put my luggage and went out."

"Oh..." I rubbed my cheeks and pouted my chin towards the kitchen, "I didn't unplug it when I went out in the morning, it should still be hot, you can try a bowl."

After I finished speaking, I turned my face away and wandered around the living room pretending to have nothing to do, as if I was very busy.

"It's still hot." Hearing the voice, I looked over subconsciously. Ning Ran carefully came out of the kitchen with two bowls, put the bowls on the dining table, and looked up at me, "Don't you want to drink? alright."

Because of the toothache, I actually didn't eat much at night. Now that she said this, I suddenly felt empty in my stomach.

I slowly moved over, sat down opposite her, scooped up two spoonfuls and blew, and my whole body was warm after drinking it.

Ning Ran looked like a child, he drank a bowl of soup for a long time without bottoming out, and looked very restless.

I put down the spoon and looked at her inexplicably.

Ning Ran shook her head, pursed her lips and just smiled, her eyes were clear, "I'm just happy."

The atmosphere seemed to suddenly become a little strange.I cleared my throat, pressed the corner of my mouth and picked up the spoon again.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" She leaned over and stared at me with burning eyes.

The tone has a feeling of asking for praise, as if she made the soup.

I looked down at the bowl, and replied to her amusedly: "It's delicious."

Ning Ran picked up the spoon and bit her mouth, nodded lightly: "I think so too."
