Chapter 221

A bottle of wine was drunk to the bottom by the two of them without knowing it, and Li Shanshan, who had a poor tolerance for alcohol, was already a bit drunk, looking at him with hazy eyes and saying, "Zhao Desan, I'm dizzy, I want to sleep."

Zhao Desan had been waiting for this moment for a while, and laughed deviously, "Then let's slip away? Let's go open a room and sleep."

"Mm." Li Shanshan nodded, leaned softly on his shoulder, half-closed her drunken eyes, her face was flushed, her expression was hazy, she grabbed his hand and stroked it gently, saying, "Help me walk."

"Good." Zhao Desan sat up straight, put one arm around her waist, and one hand pulled her hand to rest on his shoulder, preparing to help her up.

Li Shanshan's phone rang, and she said drunkenly, "Wait a moment, I'll answer a call." She took her arm off Zhao Desan's shoulder, took her phone out of her coat, and the screen showed "Mom." She immediately sobered up, rubbed her sleepy drunken eyes, and answered the phone.

"Shanshan, what time is it, you're not back yet, where are you?"

"I... I'm shopping... tonight is Christmas Eve... the street is very lively..." Li Shanshan made up a lie casually, and looked at Zhao Desan with embarrassment.

"It's so late, what are you shopping for! Who are you with?" Her mother's tone on the phone was very severe.

"With Zhao Desan... the colleague who came to the hospital to see me last time."

"Hurry home, it's midnight, what are you wandering around for!"

"Oh..." Li Shanshan responded softly.

After the call, Zhao Desan took her arm and helped her walk out of the bar, swaying as she walked. There were no people on the street at midnight, and a line of young people waiting to return home or go to the hotel after the nightlife ended was parked on the side of the street at the entrance of the bar.

Zhao Desan didn't say a word, helped her walk toward the taxi.

"Where to?" After answering her mother's call, Li Shanshan was almost sober.

"Where else? Open a room." Zhao Desan laughed deviously.

"Not going." Li Shanshan said with disappointment.

"Why?" Zhao Desan asked anxiously.

"It was my mom who called just now, urging me to go back quickly." Li Shanshan frowned and looked at him.

"Can't you say you can't go back?"

"No! My mom manages me very strictly." Li Shanshan looked troubled, "I want to, but there's no way, next time, next time I'll make up a good lie."

"What a mood killer!" Zhao Desan muttered in frustration.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Li Shanshan threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and said tenderly, "I know you're unhappy, I don't want to go back either, but there's no way, my mom manages me very strictly, I told her I was shopping outside with you, if I didn't return home at night, she definitely wouldn't let me into the house."

"Alright, go back!" Zhao Desan said in frustration, "Hurry up and get in the car and go home!"

"I want you to send me home!" Li Shanshan raised her face, pouted, her cheeks were a bit flushed, and she looked adorable.

"Just hail a taxi and go back, why do you need me to send you!"

"No! I just want you to send me back!" She started to act spoiled, pouted her red lips, opened her star eyes wide, and looked extremely domineering, just like the domineering Ma Ting who wasn't an adult yet.

Seeing this domineering look, Zhao Desan couldn't bear to let her down, closed his eyes, nodded helplessly: "Alright."

Li Shanshan happily stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the mouth, which caught him off guard. He was startled for a moment, looking at this girl with a domineering figure and outstanding appearance, he really wanted to have a good time with her for the night.

"Get in the car!" He twisted his sore neck, pushed her to the side of the road, opened the door of a taxi, stuffed her in, and followed her closely.

Li Shanshan told the driver the destination, leaned on his shoulder and smiled sweetly. She looked silly, which seemed quite likable.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the residential area, Li Shanshan had drunk some wine and had fallen asleep in Zhao Desan's arms. He shook her a few times before waking her up and saying, "We're home, still sleeping."

Li Shanshan rubbed her eyes, said "Oh," and sat up. Zhao Desan had already paid the fare, opened the car door, and helped her get off.

"Go in." Zhao Desan let go of her and let her enter the residential area.

Li Shanshan looked at him with sleepy eyes, nodded reluctantly, and said, "Then I'm going back, you hurry back too."

"Mm." Zhao Desan nodded, watched her walk into the residential area, and after only two steps, Li Shanshan's body began to sway, as if she were standing on a boat and couldn't stand steadily.

Zhao Desan hurriedly walked up to help her, saying, "Forget it, I'd better send you to the door, if you fall and get some trouble with this swaying walk, your mom will definitely come to me for someone!"

He helped the soft-as-mud Li Shanshan carefully walk into the residential area, climbed the stairs to her door, and rang the doorbell. Only by handing her over to her parents could he feel at ease.

Footsteps came from inside, stopped behind the door, creaked, and the door opened. Li Shanshan's mother appeared at the door. Seeing him helping the slightly drunk Li Shanshan, she asked with a worried face: "What's going on with Shanshan?"

"She drank some wine." Zhao Desan answered politely and handed her over to her mother.

"This child! A girl not being self-respecting! What kind of wine is she drinking!" Her mother scolded with a straight face, looking unhappy.

Seeing her mother's angry look, Zhao Desan said goodbye. When going downstairs, he was thinking that maybe Li Shanshan's mother was blaming him for letting Li Shanshan drink, but in fact, it wasn't. That day, Li Shanshan's parents saw him and Zhang Ailing walking intimately side by side from far away on the street. Because the distance was far, they couldn't see Zhang Ailing's specific age and thought that was Zhao Desan's girlfriend. They felt this young man wasn't honest, clearly having a partner but saying he didn't, wanting to play with their daughter, and seeing their daughter with him again tonight, so they didn't have a good look for him.

He came out of the residential area where Li Shanshan lived, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and it was already past two in the morning when he got home. He had to go to work the next day, so he took a hot shower and went to sleep quickly.

Seeing that New Year's Day was coming, the party organized by the bureau was held on the afternoon of the 31st. For the past few days, Zhao Desan's main task at work was to rehearse his own program, closing the office door and dancing in the office alone to perform the sketch. To ensure nothing went wrong, he waited for everyone to go for a nap after eating at noon, specifically strolled to the front courtyard, and called Bai Ling, who was cleaning the courtyard, into his office.

After Bai Ling followed him to the office, her mood was a bit nervous, a faint blush appeared on her beautiful cheeks, and she stood at the entrance with her hands clasped together, lowering her face and not speaking. The lonely heart of the young woman began to stir, thinking that Zhao Desan called her here to do that thing. Bai Ling, who had always kept herself clean and self-respecting, had been completely conquered by Zhao Desan since that night when they did it in her own bed. That matter was actually a layer of window paper; once broken, there would naturally be a next time. She didn't mind that much, but instead, if she didn't do that thing with Zhao Desan for a long time, she felt like something was missing in her heart, empty.
