Chapter nine hundred and eighty seventh: double love
"Yan Meng, congratulations on getting married!"
Ninghai, there is laughter and joy in the hotel dressed in festively.
This is Wang Yanmeng's wedding dinner. Meng Huo rushed back to Ninghai after finishing the dubbing of "White Album", but he was the only one who came back this time. Chen Jie and Wang Yanmeng were just a slight friendship, let alone He Qian, Zhou Qian and others.
They didn't get invitations, but many editors and cartoonists participated, and Alice was also invited - she had a lot of communication with Wang Yanmeng when she was Meng Huo's editor-in-chief, and the two were also acquaintances.
Of course, Meng Huo's other assistants were all there. Bamboo pulled the groom and kept pouring wine, and it seemed that he had to get him drunk.
As Wang Yanmeng's teacher, Meng Huo naturally could not escape the fate of being drunk - whether it is the family of newlyweds, cartoonists and editors, many people refused to miss this rare opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to get Meng Huo drunk.
He Xi had never been drunk in front of others, and it was a great achievement to get him drunk. However, before getting Meng Huo drunk, there was another high peak ahead of them - Alice, who was known to be unintoxicated by a thousand cups.
Just like other banquets attended together, Alice always helped Meng Huo block the wine, which seemed to have become her habit.
"Miss Alice has drunk a lot, doesn't it matter?" Ye Xiong, who was sitting next to Meng Huo, looked worried. Meng Huo shook his head: "It doesn't matter now."
However, saying that, Alice today gave Meng Huo a different feeling than usual. What should she say? Her interest in drinking seemed to be higher than before - this made Meng Huo a little worried.
Fortunately, Alice stopped at the right time. When she stopped blocking the wine, she had actually helped Meng Huo solve 80% of the trouble, and the remaining 20% of Meng Huo solved it easily. The cooperation between the two was perfect, which made the guests in the entire banquet hall stunned, and no one dared to come forward to offend him again.
"Miss Alice is such a huge amount..." Ye Xiong was amazed. He glanced at the groom's seat. The groom was originally the protagonist tonight. As a result, he fell drunk on the table before he was halfway through, and instead let Alice steal the style.
"That's right..." Lin Mingzhe was also drunk at the same table. He patted his head and said, "Whoever marrys a lady in the future will be happy - he is not afraid of toasting."
When Ye Xiong heard this, his heart moved: "To put it this way, Miss Alice is thirty, and her golden years have disappeared."
"Not thirty!" Alice flatly denied that what she feared the most now was that others mentioned their age.
"It's almost time before thirty." Ye Xiong had also drunk some wine before, and was more courageous, and smiled: "Look, the bride is so younger than you tonight and is married. If you don't work harder, it will be difficult for you to get married in the future."
His eyes glanced at Meng Huo, as if he was pointing something. Alice's face changed, she didn't respond, and stood up and said, "I seem to drink a little too much, go to the bathroom."
Meng Huo looked at her leaving back and suddenly understood what she felt like just now. Alice didn't respond on the surface, but she should be very resistant to the wedding in her heart. On such occasions, many people would definitely ask her about the wedding.
When I was toasting just now, many people said they wanted to introduce Alice to her, but she was perfunctory with her smile. In fact, if it weren't for helping Meng Huo block the wine, she might not have come here at all.
"I don't need you to stop the wine..."
Meng Huo thought about this, but didn't say it out loud, as if nothing had happened.
After the banquet, he and Li Qin and his assistants walked towards Jiayuan Community - the hotel was not far from there, and everyone agreed to walk together. Originally, the newlyweds also wanted to strengthen their relationship with them, but after the groom got drunk, it was all right.
"You're too hot tonight." Hua Meng held the tomato's ears on the road and said angrily: "You didn't see Yan Meng's face. Half of her husband was drunk and you fed it!"
"Okay, okay, why are Teacher Hua Meng angry? The groom is the protagonist tonight. It's his wrong to get drunk!" Mach wanted to help Tomato, but halfway through his words, his ears were immediately grabbed by his wife: "Don't pretend to be good people, you pour the wine - don't think we don't know what you did. While pouring boiled water for Tomato Teacher, the groom while pouring white wine!"
However, it was not just the two who colluded. Xi Wenlin decisively ran to Meng Huo before his wife took action, making it impossible for her to take action.
"A group of wives are in charge of strictness..." Meng Huo muttered, feeling quite disdainful. Originally, Mach was the only one who controlled the wife, but the three families became more and more familiar with each other. Somehow, the Yin was in charge of the Yang declined.
Li Qin chuckled: "You three are indeed too much today, Yan Meng is so anxious that she is about to cry."
"We can't blame us, Sister Qin." Fanto escaped from Hua Meng's hand, rubbed her ears, and said, "Yan Meng has been with us for so many years, but suddenly she was taken away by other men. Of course we were unhappy!"
"Yes, yes!" Mach and Xi Wenlin nodded in agreement. Wang Yanmeng was like their sister. If her sister got married, she would feel a little uncomfortable as a brother. It would be normal to teach the groom a lesson.
Hua Meng was furious: "Nonsense, why didn't Teacher He Xi do this?"
Meng Huo shrugged: "No... Actually, I also want to give the groom a few cups, but he fell down before I went." Fang Tomato immediately smiled at his wife: "Look, Teacher He Xi thinks so too!"
Hua Meng covered her head and was speechless. However, every time Meng Huo spoke, she and the other two women would not be angry, and the men escaped.
"Speaking of this, did Miss Alice drive back by herself?" Hua Meng asked.
Meng Huo nodded: "Well, she drove over." In fact, he was also a little worried about whether Alice would have any accidents when driving while drunk. He stopped her when he left, but Alice said that her head was very clear and she didn't have to worry.
Hua Meng's eyebrows frowned: "I'm a little worried about Miss Alice. She seemed to be in a little wrong in the bathroom just now."
Meng Huo stopped: "Did you run into her in the bathroom?"
Hua Meng nodded. She happened to go to the bathroom with Alice just now: "I saw Miss Alice standing in front of the toilet for a long time and asked her what was wrong. She said she had a little rest. It was her period recently - it was not good to drink during menstruation?"
Meng Huo's face was slightly pale. He was a medical practitioner. Although drinking during menstruation is not a big taboo, it is indeed a very harmful behavior. Moreover, Alice's drinking tonight was not the same.
"I suddenly remembered something." Meng Huo felt a little uneasy and said to Li Qin and the others: "You guys go back first!" As he said that, he turned around and left - it was a really straightforward move, and he chose to leave without even covering up. Everyone present was very surprised.
"I said Sister Qin..." Hua Meng looked at Li Qin: "Alice or Shen Jie, which one is Teacher He Xi's true destiny?"
She had never seen Meng Huo have such an act of exposing her ideas. She was a little uncomfortable after hearing Alice, so he chose to leave immediately - isn't this too fussy?
Li Qin shook her head, but she didn't know. However, she felt that there was a reason for Meng Huo to react like this. In the past few years, what Meng Huo was most afraid of was that Chen Jie's accidents would sometimes appear particularly sensitive. It is very likely that Alice touched Meng Huo's sensitiveness tonight.
And she was not wrong, Meng Huo did remember Chen Jie's accident.
He had already thought something was wrong with Alice tonight, and was also a little worried that she would drive under the influence. He felt so nervous when he heard Hua Meng mention it. Now he ran over and checked it out. It would be fine if it was okay. If something happened, he would definitely not be able to forgive his carelessness for the rest of his life.
Meng Huo returned backwards and called Alice.
"What's wrong?"
Fortunately, Alice's voice was not abnormal on the phone.
"Where are you?"
“…on the way home.”
"Tell me the specific location, and stop the car first!" Meng Huo was a little tricky: "I'll go over immediately, I'll drive you back!"
Alice was shocked: "Are you worried about me?"
"That's right..." Meng Huo said calmly: "Give me the address."
"..." Alice was silent for a long time before sighing: "The hotel parking garage... My stomach hurts a little, and I haven't left yet..."
Meng Huo was stunned for a moment and almost broke out in cold sweat - he really didn't see Alice's condition. If Hua Meng hadn't reminded him that Alice forced to drive in order to go home despite her physical discomfort, she might have had an accident.
He quickly rushed to the parking garage below the hotel and found Alice's Porsche.
"Get in the car." Alice's voice sounded, and Meng Huo found that she had already sat in the secondary seat, and the driving seat was empty. He reached out and the car door opened.
"Can't you be a little cautious?" Meng Huo got into the car and looked at the car keys that had been inserted, and felt that Alice was too unpredictable. At this time, as long as other men came, they could easily control her and take the car away.
Alice smiled: "I think you didn't go far. Even if someone comes, you can save me."
Meng Huo was speechless. He turned on the lights of the car, looked over at Alice's face, and took her pulse: "How is your body?"
"It's just that my stomach is uncomfortable, nothing serious." Alice looked at Meng Huo's hand that took her pulse: "You can see a doctor now?"
"No..." Meng Huo shook his head: "But the general situation can still be seen." He let go of his hand, Alice's pulse was stable and her complexion had not changed much. It seemed that there was no big problem. Even if he didn't take medicine, he should be better off after a night's sleep.
"Put on your seat belt and I'll take you home." Meng Huo drove out of the garage without saying nonsense.
He had been to Xu Jing's house and naturally knew the route. In fact, within half an hour, Meng Huo arrived outside the villa area where Xu Jing's house was. He stopped the car, and the remaining distance was not dangerous, so he just wanted to drive in.
"I won't go in. It's a big trouble to be seen when I'm out later..." Meng Huo said, turning his head to see, but he found that Alice was asleep in the seat with her eyes closed.
“…”
He swallowed the rest of his words into his stomach and sighed a long time.
"What should I do now?"
Meng Huo didn't want to disturb Alice. He looked at the time and wanted to let Alice sleep for a while before he woke up. However, fifteen minutes passed, Alice showed no sign of waking up. Meng Huo turned on the light and turned around to wake Alice up.
But he stopped when his hand was about to touch Alice. Looking at Alice's lips sleeping soundly under the light, Meng Huo suddenly remembered the night on the beach and what Shen Jie said.
"How can you know if you don't try it..." The sentence echoed in his ears like a demon. Unconsciously, Meng Huo's hand gently touched Alice's face, and the warm touch slowly rippled between his fingers and passed into his heart.
"I can believe it--that sentence is not my misunderstanding--"
Meng Huo murmured to himself, his thoughts fell into memories.
Six years - He and Shen Jie and Alice have known each other for six years. Chen Jie said that if Haruki in "White Album" spends his time on the relationship between Yuyu Yusu and Yusa, the ending of the game may change.
And what would happen if Meng Huo did this in the past six years? If he had not refused or escaped, what would have been the present six years later?
Six years have only moved from youth to maturity for him, but for Alice...
"Miss Alice is about to be thirty years old, and her golden years have disappeared" - Ye Xiong's words once again rang out in Meng Hu's ears at night. He knew that the person who restrained and wasted Alice's time was actually himself.
He was doing something so cruel, and if this continued, Alice would be hurt forever.
Meng Huo's heart was cut by a knife, looking at the familiar face that was so close. Although it was only a slight change, it was still different from what six years ago and what six years later - now her face no longer had the youth she had 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 was asking himself, after realizing that he was trying to seize other people's life, could he continue to hurt Alice or Chen Jie so naturally?
No, he can't continue like this... However, there is no best of both worlds that can be achieved overnight. If you want not to hurt both, you must hurt both of them at the same time.
"Six years...if I wanted another six years..." Meng Huo mocked Alice's face: "Will you probably wait for me for so long?"
"No." A crisp voice answered Meng Huo. Meng Huo opened his eyes wide and looked at Alice in shock.
After Alice said this, her eyes opened: "I won't give you six more years..."
