long life

The author says:

Just like the previous two years, my friends and I bid farewell to each other after we were full of food and wine.

The weather has been cloudy and rainy recently, the air is humid and cold, and there will be one or two cold rains from time to time. After coming out of Xinchun Garden, the ground has become thin and wet.

Zhou Jing didn't remember to bring an umbrella when he came, and because he had something on his mind and drank too much, Li Shengrui found a substitute driver, and naturally sent Zhou Jing back to his apartment first.

Zhou Jing has been leaning on the seat with his eyes closed since he got in the car, he has always been so drunk

Quick, he woke up quickly, and his wine taste was the same as when he was sober, on the contrary, he was a little more cute.

Li Shengrui couldn't figure out when he sobered up, and only glanced at him when he was waiting for the light at the next intersection, only to find that Zhou Jing opened his eyes at some point, staring blankly out of the car window without making any sound.

Not sure if he was awake, Li Shengrui turned his head and coughed lightly, and talked to him: "Old Zhou, do you want some water?"

"I don't want to." Zhou Jing shook her head lightly, her cheeks still flushed with drunkenness.

"I'll take you directly downstairs to the apartment later." Li Shengrui paused and continued: "To be on the safe side, it's better to let that kid come down to pick you up, what if you bump into your face when you go upstairs?"

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes at him, and wanted to stretch his legs to give him a kick, but he felt weak from the alcohol, not to mention there were other people in the car, so he simply moved his body and let out a sigh of relief. to express their dissatisfaction.

"But it's quite rare." Li Shengrui raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "That kid usually clings so tightly to you, and you didn't come with you for your birthday today."

Zhou Jing lowered his eyelids lazily, but didn't take it seriously, "After all, he is only familiar with me, and he has only met you once, and he doesn't even know anyone else. If he comes, he may not be able to blend in."

"How old is he, you still protect him like this." Li Shengrui smiled softly, and opened a gap in the window of the back seat of the car, and the cool wind poured in from the top of his head, blowing away the remaining trace of drunkenness.

"Cheng Rui... Do you also think I'm too interested in him?

Hearing the sound, Li Shengrui turned his head, slightly astonished, he was a little surprised why Zhou Jing would ask such a question suddenly, and saw him staring blankly at the back of his hand in a daze, his expression troubled and very tangled.

"How should I put it?" Li Shengrui reached out and patted Zhou Jing's shoulder, inexplicably feeling that he was more preoccupied today, "You have been together since childhood, and have been with each other for many years. Brothers are better than brothers. It's not good to have more snacks It's normal."

"But I think..." Zhou Jing hesitated to speak, resting his head weakly on the back of the front seat, and murmured after a while: "I feel that everything is a little different now...some things I can't figure out clearly I also can't figure it out, what to do with Sheng Rui, I don't know how I got to this point."

Li Shengrui frowned, although he didn't know what Zhou Jing was referring to, but from a few words, he roughly understood that it was between him and Yu Xiu.

"You...you're not having a conflict, are you?"

Li Shengrui could only make bold guesses, and he could only think of this. If there was a conflict between the two, it would be understandable for Yu Xiu not to follow.

But Zhou Jing shook his head, the corners of his mouth trembled a little, and he smiled helplessly, "Why, he treated me so well, he was perfect everywhere, but the more he was like this, the more guilty I felt."

"You...what are you guilty of?" Li Shengrui couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, took a light breath and said, "To be honest, Lao Zhou, I always feel..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Jing's face moved closer, the close distance between friends was already an intimate distance.

Li Shengrui was just taken aback by the sudden approach, but he quickly stabilized his mind and calmly watched Zhou Jing make the next move.

The two of them just stared at each other for more than ten seconds, neither moved nor opened their mouths. The atmosphere was so weird that the surrogate driver didn't pay much attention to driving, and glanced at them from the rearview mirror from time to time.

Not long after, Zhou Jing retracted her body to the original place, and shook her head with some disappointment, "Sure enough, that kind of feeling can only be felt when facing him, and it has never been felt before..."

Li Shengrui looked at him silently, his eyes were full of complexity, after a while, he turned his head out of the window, and smiled in a low voice, "Old Zhou, you are drunk."

Zhou Jing groaned, and then stayed quietly without speaking. It seemed that the aftertaste of drinking had recovered a bit. Until the driver stopped the car, he kept closing his eyes and leaning on the seat to take a nap.

Li Shengrui woke him up and said that, seeing Zhou Jing's drunken appearance, he couldn't let go, so he simply got out of the car and sent him a distance.

When he walked to the door of the apartment building, he was still a little worried, "You can't walk very steadily, why don't I take you up."

"I take the elevator, not the stairs." Zhou Jing waved his hand, insisting on going back alone.

Li Shengrui had no choice but to let go of his hand and let him sway towards the apartment.

"Hey, old Zhou."

Before Zhou Jing stepped onto the last step, Li Shengrui stopped him, and he turned his head with a bit of bewilderment on his face.

Li Shengrui strode over, suddenly grabbed Zhou Jing's arm, and hugged him in his arms.

Zhou Jing was already unsteady on his feet, but this time he threw himself into his arms, and after finally stabilizing his figure, he couldn't help but uttered angrily, "What are you doing, Li Shengrui?"

"It's nothing." Li Shengrui patted Zhou Jing's back with his hand, and glanced at the apartment hall vaguely out of the corner of his eye, "I just sigh with emotion that it has been hard-won for so many years, and I have no regrets in this life with a brother like you. So what's the matter?"

"I don't know, are you drunk or am I drunk?" Zhou Jing chuckled twice, motioning for him to let go of his hands.

Li Shengrui helped him to stand still, and briefly instructed Zhou Jing to leave. He then lit a cigarette and stood there in a daze. After taking a few sips, he suddenly realized that the driver was still waiting, so he crushed the cigarette end with his hands and quickly got back into the car. Inside.

It's just the effect of alcohol paralysis. When walking, it's just a little weak in the legs and feet, which is not as bad as the bumps and bumps that Li Shengrui said.

Zhou Jing stared at the bright red jumping floor numbers, and his heartbeat also jumped up and down. When the elevator finally reached the designated floor, he turned back to God.

The moment the door opened, there was a person standing there unexpectedly. Zhou Jing was frightened for a moment, then raised his head to see the person's appearance clearly.

Yu Xiu stood there firmly, blending into the shadows. Fortunately, there was light from the corridor that could be discerned. Zhou Jing almost thought it was other neighbors or strangers.

"Yu Xiu, why... why did you come out?" Zhou Jing stretched out his hand to calm his heartbeat, with a look of shock still on his face.

Yu Xiu hummed and approached slowly, and said, "I haven't seen you come back, so I came out to have a look when I was a little worried."

"It's not that there are a few friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, and they forget the time on a whim." Zhou Jing smiled, and walked towards the room together with him.

After opening the door, the room was indeed pitch black, and even the curtains were drawn. Zhou Jing groped the wall to find the switch while being puzzled, and when his fingers were about to touch it, suddenly a pair of big hands covered his wrists.

Zhou Jing couldn't help shaking his body due to the hot palm, and then Yu Xiu's slightly deep voice came from his ear.

"Brother, don't turn on the light...wait a little longer."
