Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

As soon as the two of them went out, Qiao Xuying pulled Zhou Qi and quickly walked towards a white Santana parked on the side of the road.

"I'm so sorry for disturbing you by that guy. Let's go to another place." Qiao Xuying said.

"No need to change." Zhou Qi replied, "Actually, I have nothing to do with that person."

For some reason, Qiao Xuying felt the need to explain, but she became annoyed as soon as she said it: "Does Mr. Zhou think there is something wrong with me, or is he afraid of trouble and dare not go with me, or even dislikes my car?"

Zhou Qi shook his head and smiled helplessly.

She said it so directly. If I didn't get in her car, wouldn't I seem too timid?

Since the other party has invited you, just get in the car.

There is a light and elegant fragrance in the car, making people feel comfortable.

Qiao Xuying didn't say much. After starting the car, she stepped on the accelerator to speed up. The strong push on his back made Zhou Qi realize that she was driving in anger, obviously because of the man named Du Renliang.

"Your driving skills are great, but maybe you could go a little slower?" Zhou Qi suggested.

Qiao Xueying chuckled when she heard this: "Are you scared?"

Zhou Qi turned his head to look at Qiao Xuying, his eyes inadvertently falling on the curve outlined by the seat belt on her body.

Although it was just a glance, he still responded with a smile: "You really impressed me."

Qiao Xueying understood that Zhou Qi was referring to her behavior just now, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not usually like this."

Then she fell silent and concentrated on driving.

The car gradually slowed down and the air inside became a little stuffy.

About ten minutes later, Qiao Xuying parked the car in front of a bar.

this place……

"Mr. Zhou, would you please come in with me for a drink?" she asked, but before she could finish her words, the man had already gotten out of the car.

Zhou Qi could see that she was not in a good mood. Even if he refused, Qiao Xuying seemed to be planning to go into the bar alone.

Thinking of this, he felt a little uneasy and decided to follow her in.

This is a quiet bar. Even in the afternoon, there are resident singers singing softly. The curtains are drawn tightly to block out the light from outside, and the dim lights create an atmosphere of nightfall.

After the two sat down, Qiao Xuying called the waiter, ordered some snacks, and then asked for several kinds of wine - red wine, whiskey and cocktails.

"cheers."

As soon as Zhou Qi picked up the cup and clinked it lightly, Qiao Xuying frowned and drank it all in one gulp.

Obviously, she wanted to use alcohol to relieve her worries. She was not a good drinker and drank very quickly.

Soon, when Zhou Qi was still sober, she was already half drunk.

Under the influence of alcohol, Qiao Xuying talked more.

"You know what? I'm actually quite rich. I'm considered a wealthy woman. The money I used to buy the warrants was all saved by myself. It was all given to me by my father... He said he loved me, but in fact he just treated me like a bird in a cage."

"He always said it was for my future, for my happiness."

“But he never really thought about what I wanted.”

"I want to escape from all this..."

“Escape to a place where no one knows me and pursue the life I want.”

To be honest, this kind of household chores were not the type that Zhou Qi was interested in, but considering that Qiao Xuying was willing to share the profits with him and the courage and decisiveness she showed in the restaurant, he felt that she was a good person.

At this moment, she needed someone to listen, so he asked gently, "What happened to make you so sad?"

Qiao Xuying smiled bitterly, raised her glass again and drank it all in one gulp.

Then she casually wiped the lipstick off her lips with the back of her hand.

She looked at Zhou Qi with her slightly drunken eyes, as if looking for a little comfort.

Although they had only met a few times, she was defenseless against him, perhaps because she had too many things piled up in her heart and was eager to find someone to talk to.

"My father...he just wanted to use me for his own benefit." There was a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"It's not all his fault," she sighed. "The real problem lies with my stepmother. She wants me to marry her nephew, the man you just met."

"You've seen how he treats women. The thought of being with a man like that makes me sick. I will never agree to it," she said firmly.

Zhou Qi said softly: "Everyone has only one life, and it belongs to him or her. Now that you know what you want, go after it bravely."

These words sound very inspiring, but the reality is often much more complicated. There are always many things in life that are beyond our control, which also leave us with many regrets and reluctance.

Qiao Xuying picked up the wine glass, a trace of resonance flashed in her eyes, "Well said, cheers."

"You've already drunk a lot." Zhou Qi reminded.

However, Qiao Xueying did not intend to stop. Her mood at the moment made her want to release all the pressure.

Although the man in front of her was still a stranger to her, he gave her an inexplicable sense of security and made her feel relaxed.

So, regardless of whether Zhou Qi was willing to join in, she drank the wine in her glass and asked curiously, "We've been chatting for so long, and I still don't know your name."

"My name is Zhou Qi," he replied.

After knowing the other party's name, Qiao Xuying seemed satisfied and did not ask any more questions.

The two of them gradually had more topics to talk about, especially Qiao Xuying, who was almost the only one talking.

As time went on, the alcohol began to take effect and her words became more and more garbled.

Seeing this, Zhou Qi tried to stop her from drinking: "You really can't drink any more."

"No...it's okay." Qiao Xuying insisted, "I can drink a lot, a few more glasses is no problem."

As soon as she finished speaking, she lay down on the table, like a lazy kitten.

Faced with such a situation, Zhou Qi felt very embarrassed.

He tried to wake Qiao Xuying, but she was obviously already completely asleep.

Now even asking for her address has become a problem.

Finally, under the slightly subtle gaze of the bar staff, Zhou Qi paid the bill and decided to help her leave.

Zhou Qi found that Qiao Xuying showed no sign of waking up, and he was not very familiar with the roads in Hai City.

In desperation, he could only call a taxi and carefully carried the unconscious Qiao Xuying into the car.

As night fell, it was obviously impossible to just leave her on the side of the road.

So Zhou Qi decided to find a hotel for her to rest in. When they arrived at the hotel, the staff looked puzzled and curious, but he still quickly checked her in.

Not long after entering the room, Qiao Xuying suddenly vomited. Fortunately, Zhou Qi was not soiled, but her clothes and the surrounding environment were affected.

Zhou Qi had no choice but to ask the hotel staff to help clean up, and asked the cleaning lady to help Qiao Xuying change the clothes covered with stains and send them for cleaning.
