If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

"Xia Ningqi! What are you doing?"

"I'll bite you to death, you bad guy."

Qi Nan: ...

After being bitten for an unknown amount of time, Xia Ningqi finally let go and saw a unique red mark on Qi Nan's neck, which gave her a great sense of accomplishment.

It would be great if there were more of them.

Just as she was laughing foolishly, Qi Nan sighed slowly, "Aren't you dirty? My neck is covered in your saliva."

"Shall I clean it for you?"

"No need, just give me a tissue, I can wipe it myself."

"I have no paper."

"How do we get it clean?"

"Use your mouth."

Qi Nan's lips twitched. "Xia Ningqi, you're really drunk. I'm not a lollipop."

"It's okay, my mouth is clean."

What kind of outrageous and inhumane words are these?

Normally, she would never be so bold; it's just that she's drunk and acting crazy, and I happened to be there to witness it.

"You're drunk, let me take you inside."

"don't want."

Xia Ningqi shook her head like a rattle drum.

Qi Nan covered his forehead, at a loss for what to do.

"Qinan..."

"What's wrong?"

"I want a kiss."

Xia Ningqi braced herself on the stool with both hands, raised her head, and gazed up at him with her misty, fox-like eyes.

Upon hearing this, Qi Nan was startled and immediately waved his hand, "Xia Ningqi, don't go crazy when you're drunk. Kissing is something only couples do."

"Then let's be a couple."

"You're really drunk. I'm the kind of person who bullies you."

"It's okay, I don't hate being bullied by you. As long as we become a couple, you can bully me every day. But the price is that you can only bully me from now on and you're not allowed to have any contact with other girls besides me."

Xia Ningqi's features were captivating, but her originally quiet face now showed signs of illness. The warm breath she exhaled as she spoke condensed upon contact with the cold air, turning into white mist in mid-air.

A chill ran down Qi Nan's spine.

Although he knew that Xia Ningqi was drunk when she said those words, he couldn't help but feel her possessiveness that was overflowing.

"Xia Ningqi, I'll take you into the Wake Up Bar, otherwise I really can't take it like this."

"But you haven't answered my question yet!"

"What's the problem?"

"Be my girlfriend." Xia Ningqi paused for a second, then looked at him with affection in her eyes, "Or you can just marry me."

Qi Nan felt he was really sick, actually asking a drunkard for his opinion here.

So he pulled Xia Ningqi to her feet.

"Alright, let's talk about it when you're sober. I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others when they're down."

"I'm not drunk!"

"Everyone who's drunk claims they're not drunk."

They finally managed to pull her up, but Xia Ningqi just stood there motionless.

"What's wrong?"

"Carry me inside."

Seeing Xia Ningqi open her arms to him, Qi Nan felt a headache coming on, but he still asked, "Why?"

"Wearing high heels is uncomfortable. You always carried me last time."

Qi Nan recalled that it had been so long ago, and this was different from the last party. If he carried her in, he might become the target of everyone's criticism, and might even anger Shen Qinghe, which would then cause trouble for his family's business.

"It's not far from here to the lobby, you can just walk there in a couple of steps."

"I know, you just don't want to hug me!"

Xia Ningqi was drunk, and tears were already glistening in the corners of her eyes.

Qi Nan was in a real bind.

This drunk Xia Ningqi is just too difficult to deal with.

"I can hug you, but there are too many people in the lobby, so we can only do it from this short distance outside."

"All right..."

Xia Ningqi wiped away her tears, her expression shifting from sorrow to joy.

I've never seen her so cute before.

Qi Nan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I guess I've unlocked the hidden version.

Coming to his senses, his gaze froze.

Xia Ningqi maintained her outstretched arms pose, her white dress perfectly accentuating her figure.

"How do you want me to hug you?"

"Of course, I'll carry you in a princess carry! That's how I like it."

Qi Nan couldn't help but wonder if Xia Ningqi would be so embarrassed by her words and actions that she would be digging her feet into the ground when she woke up.

However, he did not refuse.

Anyway, Xia Ningqi isn't heavy, so carrying her for such a short distance is very easy.

"Okay, I'll hug you then, but don't try to set a trap later."

"I won't."

Hearing her say that, Qi Nan felt relieved. He bent down slightly, put his arm around the back of her knees, and easily lifted her up in his arms.

Xia Ningxia's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter, and her forearms, so white you could see the blue veins, tightly gripped Qi Nan's neck.

"From now on, you're only allowed to hug me, the only girl."

"On what grounds?"

Qi Nan is just being sarcastic and doesn't want to go along with what she says.

Xia Ningqi was furious and started acting crazy again, shaking her body and legs violently.

"Then stop hugging me! I hate you, you filthy jerk!"

Qi Nan remained silent.

How can someone who's drunk become hypocritical? One minute they want a hug, the next they don't.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. Is it alright if I just hug you?"

"I don't believe you unless you pinky swear with me. If you dare to lie to me, you can swallow a thousand needles."

Seeing Xia Ningqi extend her little finger, Qi Nan found it somewhat amusing.

Are you a child?

"I don't care, it's all because you like to lie."

Qi Nan was also helpless.

Once they reached the door, he put Xia Ningqi down and then extended his little finger.

"Okay, then go ahead and do it."

"Um."

After Xia Ningqi steadied herself, she nodded and extended her little finger.

Their little fingers intertwined.

Xia Ningqi spoke seriously, pausing between each sentence, "A pinky promise, a hundred years from now, and if you lie, you'll be punished with a thousand needles piercing your throat."

Qi Nan lowered his eyes.

Anyway, it's not difficult for me, so there's nothing to worry about.

After the oath is taken.

Qi Nan finally brought Xia Ningqi back to the hall.

They found Shen Wanping chatting.

"Aunt Shen, Ning Qi got drunk just now. Could you take her to a sobering-up bar?"

Drunk?

Shen Wanping looked at Xia Ningqi beside her, who then loudly retorted, "I already said I'm not drunk!"

After saying that, she widened her eyes again, "Huh? Mom, why is there a caterpillar on your neck?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanping looked down at her neck, which was clearly a green agate necklace.

"Auntie, see? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Shen Wanping hugged Xia Ningqi, patted her back, and asked Qi Nan with concern, "How much did she drink?"

"Two-thirds of the alcohol content."

"I never expected her to have such a low alcohol tolerance."

Qi Nan smiled faintly.

Having a low alcohol tolerance is a minor issue; the most important problem is a lack of self-awareness.
