Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou sat together, while Da Mai and Nana sat together.

After everyone was seated, Xu Hongdou winked at Hu Youyu, who looked back with an understanding look and then stood up.

"Look, have something to drink. I'll prepare it for you."

Hu Youyu ordered drinks for Zhou Chen and the other three, but they were all low-proof cocktails, red wine, etc.

Zhou Chen looked at the wine in front of him and said, "I drove when we came here. If I drink, I will have to find a designated driver when I go back. What do you think, should I drink?"

"Drink, of course you have to drink."

Nana said loudly immediately, and Xu Hongdou nodded in agreement: "Today is a good day. Since you are here, you can't not drink."

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "Okay, drink it then."

"Here, cheers."

The four of them raised their glasses and clinked them together.

Zhou Chen picked it up and took a sip. Hmm, the alcohol content was not high and it was a little sweet.

Hu Youyu walked onto the stage, picked up his guitar and started singing.

"On that day in 1994, the first day you came into the world, I heard that the rain had stopped. Your father gave you a name, Zhou Qingtian. Day by day, you grew up..."

Upon hearing this, Da Mai's eyes widened immediately with a look of surprise, because her real name is Zhou Qingtian, and she was also born in 1994. In other words, this song by Hu Youyu was sung about her.

Hu Youyu sang to the end, and suddenly changed the subject, singing: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you."

Under Da Mai's shocked gaze, the proprietress Little Sparrow came over with a birthday cake with candles on it, and Nana also took out a birthday hat and put it on her.

Zhou Chen and the others all wished loudly, "Happy birthday."

Xu Hongdou even urged: "Make a wish quickly, make a wish quickly."

Da Mai, who was already stunned, finally reacted, made a wish with red eyes and blew out the candle.

Zhou Chen cut the cake and gave it to Damai, Xu Hongdou and Nana.

Nana ate the cake and explained the whole story.

"I've seen your ID card. We originally wanted to celebrate your birthday, but you made an appointment with both of us first and didn't tell us anything. So we just played along and pretended that we knew nothing, and then gave you a birthday surprise."

Barley's eyes were red, and he said, "I am quite surprised."

Hu Youyu also came over at this time, pulled a stool and sat down next to Zhou Chen.

"Happy birthday, sister Mai."

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Hu."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, this is what I should do."

Da Mai personally presented Hu Youyu with a cake and said gratefully, "Teacher Hu, thank you, thank you so much."

Hu Youyu smiled and said, "You're welcome. We all live in the same courtyard and are a family. You're welcome. There's really no need to be polite."

Da Mai was still very naive. He simply picked up the wine glass, toasted Hu Youyu, and drank it all in one gulp.

Today, Da Mai was no longer as talkative as usual. She was very happy talking to Xu Hongdou and Nana. She even thanked Zhou Chen and Hu Youyu several times.

Everyone was having fun today, so no one restrained themselves and drank one cup after another.

After playing for a while, Hu Youyu invited Nana to sing on stage together. They sang "Looking Back", which was very beautiful.

As time passed, Xu Hongdou suddenly said to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, can you sing the song you sang that night again?"

"If you want to hear it, of course, no problem, wait."

Zhou Chen naturally would not refuse. He walked straight onto the stage, picked up Hu Youyu's guitar, and sat in front of the microphone.

"Today is the birthday of my good friend Zhou Qingtian. I would like to dedicate a song to wish Zhou Qingtian a happy birthday."

Then, Zhou Chen played the guitar and began to sing.

"........."

The song "Girls, Don't Cry" moved the three girls who sang it so much that even the other guests in the bar were touched after listening to the song.

"It's really nice. Although it's not the first time I've heard it, I still think it's nice."

Nana also likes this song very much. She is a person who likes singing and was also a very famous live broadcast singer on the Internet.

Xu Hongdou's tears were streaming down her face. Listening to this song, she thought of her best friend Chen Nanxing again.

It can be seen that Xu Hongdou and the other two girls are very happy tonight. Their faces are red from drinking, especially Damai and Xu Hongdou, whose eyes are blurry from drinking.

Zhou Chen took the initiative to pay the bill, and Hu Youyu hurried over to stop him.

"Zhou Chen, what are you doing? You come to my place to drink and I let you spend money. Isn't this a slap in my face?"

Zhou Chen said: "Friends are friends, business is business, and money should be paid."

Hu Youyu pushed Zhou Chen aside impatiently: "Alright, stop talking about this. If you consider me a friend, don't do this. Hurry up, it's getting late, send these sisters home."

Zhou Chen couldn't persuade Hu Youyu, so he had to give up paying the bill.

"That's it for this time. I'll treat you next time."

"Why do you want to invite me? You taught me a lot about music before, and I really benefited a lot from it. I haven't paid you for tuition yet, so talking about money will hurt our feelings."

After walking out of the bar, Nana was the only one who was in better condition among the three women. Da Mai was completely confused, and Xu Hongdou was not much better, walking unsteadily. The three women had to hold each other's arms to move forward smoothly.

When I arrived in front of the car, the designated driver had already arrived.

Standing in front of the car, Hu Youyu scratched his head and asked, "There are five of us, plus a driver. How are we going to fit in this car?"

Da Mai said in a daze: "What do you mean by how to sit? Just squeeze in. It's okay. Just squeeze in."

Xu Hongdou agreed: "Yes, if we squeeze in, we will definitely be able to sit down."

When Nana heard this, she immediately said, "That won't do. Even though there may not be anyone checking, it's definitely not safe. I think we should call another car."

Seeing that Da Mai and Xu Hongdou had already gotten into the car, Hu Youyu asked, "Find another car? Then how should we get in? I can't be alone, right?"

Nana looked at Hu Youyu, then at Zhou Chen, and suddenly said, "Zhou Chen and Hongdou take this one. Teacher Hu, we'll take Da Mai and call another car."

"what?"

"Ah, what? It's decided. I've already called a taxi."

After Nana finished speaking, she gave Zhou Chen a look and said, "Zhou Chen, you have to take good care of Hongdou."

Zhou Chen gave her a thumbs up and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. If you need my help in the future, just ask."

Nana said with satisfaction: "Then I will remember that Hongdou is a good girl, you can't bully her."

"Of course, I will only be nice to her."

Hu Youyu, who was standing nearby and didn't hear the two people's whispering, asked loudly: "What are you two talking about? How did you do it?"

The car Nana called arrived quickly, and then she and Hu Youyu helped Damai into another car, while Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou sat in the back seat of Zhou Chen's car.

Xu Hongdou dazedly saw Da Mai being dragged away. She shook Zhou Chen beside her and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Where are Da Mai and Nana?"

Zhou Chen explained: "There weren't enough parking spaces, so they took another car."

"Why isn't it enough? Look how big this place is. A few more people will be enough. Why isn't it enough? I'll go call them back."

Zhou Chen held Xu Hongdou, held her face, and said softly, "Don't go. They've all left in the car. It's time for us to leave too."

Not sure whether she was persuaded by Zhou Chen or was really drunk, Xu Hongdou nodded dazedly, leaned on Zhou Chen, and stopped asking questions.

Chapter 1197 Xu Hongdou, I want to pursue you

The car was driving smoothly. Xu Hongdou was wearing a red one-piece dress with flowers that she bought in the ancient city market, with a crystal pendant hanging around her neck.

Her cheeks were red and her eyes were blurred. When she turned a corner after the car started, her body suddenly became unstable and she fell into Zhou Chen's arms. Then she did not leave Zhou Chen's arms. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Zhou Chen's. arm.

"Zhou Chen."

"Well, what's wrong? You drank too much. Do you want to vomit?"

"Woo..."

Xu Hongdou didn't speak, but suddenly cried, and then hugged Zhou Chen's arm tightly, sobbing.

Zhou Chen patted her back gently, stroked her hair, and comforted her softly: "Did you think of Chen Nanxing again? It's okay, I'm here."

"Chen Nanxing must be fine now, right?"

"Yes, she is very good, so you should be good too. She will feel more at ease when she sees you are well."

Xu Hongdou cried for a long time, and finally fell asleep in Zhou Chen's arms unknowingly, with her tears soaking Zhou Chen's clothes.

Zhou Chen smiled lightly, hugged Xu Hongdou, and adjusted a comfortable position for her so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Back at the parking lot of Yunmiao Village, Zhou Chen paid the money to the driver, and then without waking Xu Hongdou, he took her out of the car and carried her back to Youfeng Xiaoyuan in the princess hug.

When he returned to the small courtyard, Nana, who had already returned first, was settling down Damai, and saw Zhou Chen holding Xu Hongdou.

"You just walked back from the village entrance holding her in your arms?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Nana gave Zhou Chen a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Awesome, I admire him."

After all, Xu Hongdou weighed more than pounds. The parking lot was quite a distance from the courtyard. Carrying her back all the way didn't wake Xu Hongdou up. How stable was this?

"The power of love is indeed great."

"What does this mean? Even if it weighs twice as much, I won't feel any pressure."

"Haha, if it was twice as heavy, I guess you wouldn't treat Hongdou like this."

Zhou Chen hummed softly: "She's superficial, I won't tell you anymore, I'll send her back to the room first."

"Go, go, if you are tired, just sleep in the red bean house." Nana snickered.

Zhou Chen carried Xu Hongdou upstairs. Because he lived in a small courtyard and there was a gate outside, Xu Hongdou didn't lock the door when he left.

Walking into the room, he gently placed Xu Hongdou on the bed, took off her shoes and socks, and covered her with a quilt.

Looking at Xu Hongdou sleeping on the bed, Zhou Chen gently stretched out his hand to smooth her hair, wiped her face with a wet tissue, and poured a glass of water beside her bed.

"Xu Hongdou, listen carefully, you can only be mine in this life."

After saying this, he covered Xu Hongdou with the quilt again and left Xu Hongdou's room.

Until Zhou Chen's footsteps disappeared, Xu Hongdou, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

She was drunk, but she woke up when Zhou Chen wiped her face, but she didn't know how to face Zhou Chen at the time, so she pretended not to wake up and let Zhou Chen do what he did.

Staring at the roof in a daze, recalling what Zhou Chen said before leaving, her expression became extremely complicated.

He took the photo of Chen Nanxing on the bedside and looked at Chen Nanxing in the photo.

"Nan Nan, it seems that my feelings are correct. He seems to really like me, and I seem to have a good impression of him. Tell me, what should I do?"

…………

Early the next morning, Xu Hongdou and the three girls gathered together and listened to Nana talking about what happened last night. Both Xu Hongdou and Damai's faces turned red. Xu Hongdou was better and didn't tell anything about her embarrassment, but Damai yesterday She was really so drunk that she said everything she should and shouldn't say. When Nana said it today, she just felt extremely embarrassed.

Zhou Chen came back from outside, saw them, and asked with a smile: "Are you all sober?"

Nana was smiling, Damai covered her face in embarrassment, and Xu Hongdou did not dare to look at Zhou Chen, her eyes drifting. As soon as she saw Zhou Chen, she would think of what Zhou Chen said by her bedside last night, The heart beats involuntarily.

Nana stood up and said, "Let's talk. I'm going to work in the restaurant. Bye."

Damai didn't dare to stay too long and said the same: "I also went up to write a manuscript. I was crazy and didn't write for a whole day yesterday. I have to make up for it today."

As soon as they left, only Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou were left in the restaurant, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

Zhou Chen was naturally not affected and walked to sit opposite Xu Hongdou.

"How's it going? Are you okay? Do you have a headache? If you feel uncomfortable, I'll get you some hangover soup."

"No, no, I'm awake and my head doesn't hurt. No need to bother."

"That's good. Let's have breakfast. Let's go out for a walk?"

"Uh, no, I still feel a little tired and want to rest more, so I won't go out today." Xu Hongdou replied without thinking.

Zhou Chen stared at her and suddenly asked: "Are you hiding from me?"
