"Yanmeng, congratulations on your marriage!"
Ninghai, dressed up as a festive Hotel, is full of laughter.
This is Wang yanmeng''s wedding dinner. Meng Huo rushed back to Ninghai after the dubbing of "white album", but this time he was the only one who came back. Shen Jie and Wang yanmeng were just light friends, not to mention He Xi and Zhou Qian.
They didn''t get the invitation, but many editors and cartoonists attended. Alice was also invited. When she was Meng Huo''s editor in charge, she had a lot of communication with Wang yanmeng, and they were acquaintances.
Of course, Meng Huo''s other assistants are all here. Tomato pulls the bridegroom to drink. It seems that he must be drunk.
As Wang yanmeng''s teacher, Meng Huo naturally can''t escape the fate of being drunk - whether it''s the family members of the newlyweds, or cartoonists and editors, many people refuse to let go of this rare opportunity and want to take the opportunity to get Meng Huo drunk.
He Xi has never been drunk in front of others. It''s a great achievement to get him drunk. However, before Meng Huo was drunk, there was another high peak in front of them, Alice, who was known as "never drunk".
Like other banquets, Alice always helps Meng Huo to stop drinking, which seems to have become her habit.
"Miss Alice has drunk a lot, doesn''t it matter?" Sitting beside Meng Huo, ye Xiong was worried. Meng Huo shook his head: "it doesn''t matter now."
However, today''s Alice gives Meng Huo a different feeling. How to say, her drinking interest seems to be higher than before - which makes Meng Huo a little worried.
Fortunately, Alice stopped at the right time. When she stopped blocking the wine, she had already helped Meng Huo solve 80% of his troubles, and the remaining 20% of Meng Huo''s troubles were easily solved by herself. The perfect cooperation of the two made the guests in the banquet hall dumbfounded, and no one dared to offend them since then.
"Miss Alice is so huge..." Ye Xiong sighed. He took a look at the bridegroom''s seat. The bridegroom was the main character tonight. In the end, he got drunk and fell on the table before he got half drunk. On the contrary, Alice robbed him of his elegant demeanor.
"That is to say..." at the same wine table, Lin Mingzhe was a little drunk. He patted his head and said, "whoever marries a young lady in the future will enjoy happiness - he is not afraid of toasting at all."
Hearing this, ye Xiong moved in his heart: "let''s say that Miss Alice is thirty, and all her golden years are gone."
"No thirty!" Alice flatly denied that what she was most afraid of now was being asked about her age.
"It''s fast before thirty." Ye Xiong also drank some wine before. He was more courageous and said with a smile, "you see, the bride tonight is so much smaller than you. She''s married. If you don''t work harder, it''s hard to get married in the future."
His eyes glanced at Meng Huo as if he had a finger. Alice''s face changed. She didn''t answer. She got up and said, "I seem to drink a little too much. Go to the bathroom."
Meng Huo looked at her back as she left, and suddenly understood what the abnormal feeling was. On the surface, Alice didn''t respond, but on the bottom of her heart, she should be very resistant to the wedding - on such an occasion, there must be a lot of people asking her about her marriage.
During the toast just now, many people said they wanted to introduce Alice to someone, but she put off with a smile. In fact, if it wasn''t for the sake of helping Meng Huo stop drinking, maybe she wouldn''t have come here at all.
"I don''t need you to block the wine..."
Meng Huo thought so, but he didn''t say it, just like nothing happened.
After the banquet, he, Li Qin and his assistants walked to Jiayuan community, which is not far from the hotel. They agreed to walk together. Originally, the newlyweds wanted to strengthen their relationship with them, but after the bridegroom got drunk, it was over.
"You went too far tonight." Huameng carried tomato''s ear on the road and said angrily, "you didn''t see yanmeng''s face. Half of her husband''s drunkenness was from you!"
"Well, well, what''s the matter with Mr. Huameng? The bridegroom is the protagonist tonight. It''s his fault to get drunk!" Boiling water, what Mach did was to help the tomato, and then the ear was also caught by his wife. "You don''t pretend to be a good person, you pour all the wine, don''t think we don''t know what you''ve done, but pour the boiled water on the tomato teacher, and pour the Baijiu on the bridegroom!"
However, there are more than two people in collusion. Xi Wenlin runs to Meng Huo''s side decisively before his wife does it, making her unable to do it.
"A group of henpecked men..." Meng Huo muttered, disdaining. Originally, Mach was the only one who was henpecked, but the more they got to know each other, the worse they became.
Li Qin chuckled and said, "you three have gone too far today. You are crying in a hurry.""It''s not our fault, sister Qin." Tomato escaped from Huameng''s hand, rubbed his ears and said, "yanmeng has been with us for so many years, but it''s suddenly taken away by other men. Of course, we''re not happy!"
"Yes, yes!" Mach and Xi Wenlin nodded in agreement. Wang yanmeng is just like their sister. When a sister marries someone, it''s a little uncomfortable to be a brother. It''s normal to teach the bridegroom a lesson.
Hua Meng was furious: "nonsense, why didn''t teacher He Xi do that?"
Meng Huo shrugged: "no... in fact, I also want to drink a few glasses for the bridegroom, but he fell down before I went." Tomato immediately laughed at his wife: "you see, teacher He Xi also thinks so!"
Huameng covers her head, speechless. But every time Meng Huo spoke, she and the other two women would not be angry, and the men escaped.
"Said Miss Alice, did she drive home by herself?" Hua Meng asked.
Meng Huo nodded: "well, she drove over." In fact, he was a little worried about whether Alice would have any accident after drinking and driving. He stopped her when she left, but Alice said she was very clear headed and didn''t have to worry.
Hua Meng''s eyebrows wrinkled. "I''m a little worried about Miss Alice. She was in a bad condition in the bathroom just now."
Meng Huo stopped: "did you run into her in the bathroom?"
Huameng nodded. She just went to the bathroom with Alice: "I saw Miss Alice standing in front of the washstand for a long time. She asked her what''s wrong. She said she had a little rest. It''s her period recently. Isn''t it good to drink during her period?"
Meng Huo''s face was a little pale. He was a doctor. Although drinking during menstruation was not a big taboo, it was really harmful. Besides, Alice didn''t drink much tonight.
"One thing suddenly occurred to me." Meng Huo felt uneasy and said to Li Qin, "go back first." With that, he turned around and left - it was a simple move, and even chose to leave without covering up, which surprised everyone present.
"I said Sister Qin..." Hua Meng looked at Li Qin and said, "Alice and Shen Jie, which one is teacher He Xi''s destiny?"
She had never seen Meng Huo''s action of exposing his ideas like this. She just felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that, and he immediately chose to leave. Isn''t that too much of a fuss?
Li Qin shook her head. She didn''t know. However, she thinks that Meng Huo''s reaction is for a reason. In recent years, what Meng Huo is most afraid of is the recurrence of an accident like Shen Jie. Sometimes she seems very sensitive. It is very likely that Alice tonight touched Meng Huo''s sensitivity.
And she did not guess wrong, Meng Huo really thought of Shen Jie''s accident.
He thought something was wrong with Alice tonight, and he was also worried about her drunk driving. When Hua Meng mentioned it again, he didn''t feel nervous. Now run over and have a look. If it''s OK, if something happens, he will never be able to forgive his carelessness.
Meng Huo went back and got through to Alice.
"What''s the matter?"
Fortunately, Alice''s voice is normal on the phone.
"Where are you?"
"... on the way home."
"Tell me the exact location, and stop the car first!" Meng Huo was a bit tricky: "I''ll be right there, I''ll drive you back!"
Alice was shocked. "Are you worried about me?"
"Sort of..." Meng Huo said calmly, "give me the address."
"..." this time, Alice was silent for a long time before she sighed: "hotel garage... I have a stomachache, I haven''t left yet..."
Meng Huo was stunned and almost broke out in a cold sweat. He didn''t really see Alice''s condition. If it wasn''t for Huameng''s warning, Alice would drive home regardless of her physical discomfort, Maybe there will be an accident.
He rushed to the parking garage under the hotel and found Alice''s Porsche.
"Get in the car." Alice''s voice rang out. Meng Huo found that she was in the second seat, while the driver''s seat was empty. He reached for a dozen and the door opened.
"Can''t you be a little defensive?" Meng Huo got into the car, looked at the car key that had been inserted, and felt that Alice was too unguarded. At this time, as long as other men come, they can easily control her and take the car away.
Alice laughed. "I don''t think you''re far away. Even if someone comes, you can save me."
Meng Huo was speechless. He turned on the light of the car and looked over at Alice''s face. Then he gave her a pulse: "how are you doing?""It''s just an upset stomach. It''s OK." Alice looked at Meng Huo''s hand feeling her pulse. "Are you going to see a doctor now?"
"No..." Meng Huo shook his head: "but I can see the general situation." He released his hand. Alice''s pulse was steady and her complexion didn''t change much. It didn''t look like a big problem. Even if she didn''t take the medicine, she would have a good sleep.
"Fasten your seat belt and I''ll take you home." Meng Huo drove out of the garage without any nonsense.
He had been to Xu Jing''s house and naturally knew the route. In fact, within half an hour, Meng Huo arrived outside Xu Jing''s villa. He stopped the car. There was no danger for the rest of the journey. Just let Alice drive in.
"I won''t go in. It''s troublesome to be seen when I come out later..." Meng Huo said. He turned his head and found that Alice was asleep with her eyes closed in the second seat.
“……”
He swallowed the rest of the words and sighed.
"What''s to be done?"
Meng Huo didn''t want to disturb Alice. He looked at the time and thought that Alice would wake up after a little more sleep. But after fifteen minutes, Alice didn''t wake up. Meng Huo turned on the light and turned around to wake up Alice.
But he stopped when he was about to touch Alice. Looking at Alice''s lips sleeping in the light, Meng Huo suddenly remembered that night on the beach and what Shen Jie had said.
"How do you know if you don''t try..." that sentence echoed in his ears like a devil. Unconsciously, Meng Huo''s hand touched Alice''s face gently, and the warm touch slowly rippled from his fingers and passed to his heart.
"I can believe it - that''s not my mistake."
Meng Huo murmured to himself, and his thoughts fell into memories.
Six years - he has known Shen Jie and Alice for six years. Shen Jie said that if Chunxi of "white album" spent his time on the relationship between Weixu Xuecai and Sha, maybe the end of the game would change.
What if Meng Huo did the same in the past six years? If he didn''t refuse or escape at the beginning, what would he be like now six years later?
Six years, for him, is just from youth to maturity, but for Alice
"Miss Alice is going to be 30 years old, and all her golden years are gone" - Ye Xiong''s words rang out in Meng Huo''s ear again at night. He knew that it was himself who bound and wasted Alice''s time.
He is doing a cruel thing. If it goes on like this, Alice will always be hurt.
Meng Huo''s heart is like a knife, looking at the familiar face close at hand. Although it is only a slight change, it is still different from six years ago and now - now her face has no youth of six years ago.
"What are you going to do?" A voice asked Meng Huo in his heart.
"What do you want to do?" This is another voice.
However, every voice is Meng Huo himself. He is asking himself, after he realizes that he is trying to take her life, can he continue to hurt Alice or Shen Jie so naturally?
No, he can''t go on like this... However, there is nothing that can achieve the best of both worlds in one move. If you want not to hurt two people, you must hurt two people at the same time.
"Six years... If I want another six years..." Meng Huo said with Alice''s face, "could you wait so long for me?"
"No The clear voice answered Meng Huo. Meng Huo opened his eyes and looked at Alice in amazement.
After Alice said this, her eyes opened: "I won''t give you another six years..."
Because she doesn''t need six years. She has helped him to do what Meng Huo didn''t do and what Meng Huo should do. On this night, Meng Huo''s world has changed and he has two lovers
