After leaving home, they regretted it.

The incandescent lamp illuminated the dim living room.

Gu Rumeng was about to secretly wipe the tears from her face when a piece of paper was handed to her.

"Sister Rumeng, wipe the sweat."

Qin Yi pretended to be unaware and did not look at Gu Rumeng's face. He knew that Gu Rumeng definitely did not want him to discover her weak side.

So on the way back, he kept restraining himself and kept his eyes forward.

"Silly..."

Gu Rumeng burst into laughter, and more warmth rose in her heart.

She took the tissue and wiped her tears, then walked to the kitchen and took out two cans of beer and a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator.

Qin Yi did not stop her. He knew that the comfort he had given her on the way here was not enough. What Gu Rumeng needed more was to vent her inner depression.

And all he had to do was accompany her.

"Xiaoyi, when you came back, did Xinrui say anything to you?"

Gu Rumeng asked as she put beer and Coke on the coffee table.

"Well... she did."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, but did not elaborate.

He knew that Gu Rumeng must have guessed what was in it.

After all, Kong Xinrui also said that in previous years, Xue Mingyue and Kong Xinrui accompanied Gu Rumeng to spend this day.

"Then do you mind drinking with your sister?"

Gu Rumeng sat on the sofa and pushed the Coke in front of Qin Yi: "I drink beer, you drink red wine, how about it?"

"..."

Qin Yi was silent for a few seconds, "Sister Rumeng, at least tear off the packaging of the Coke first, or change the bottle?"

"Goose goose goose!"

Gu Rumeng laughed out loud, "I don't care, I said it's red wine today, then it's red wine!"

"...Okay, then I drink red wine."

Qin Yi sat down and unscrewed the lid of the Coke.

Seeing this, Gu Rumeng opened the can of beer and took a sip.

As the beer slid down her throat into her stomach, she couldn't help but frown: "It's not tasty at all, Xiaoyi, why do some people like to drink so much?"

"Well... everyone has different tastes. Some people may simply like the taste, and some may do it for life."

Speaking of this, Qin Yi paused, "Some people... maybe because there is no one who can hold an umbrella for them when it rains."

"Xiaoyi, are you trying to persuade me not to drink?" Gu Rumeng blinked her beautiful eyes.

"Yes." Qin Yi admitted.

"Okay... then you let me drink for the last time. From now on, as long as you hold an umbrella for me, I won't drink."

"Hook?"

Qin Yi stretched out his little finger, his eyes very serious.

Gu Rumeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stretched out her little finger.

"Hook and hang for a hundred years, don't change!"

The two said in unison, and then "stamped" with their thumbs at the same time.

After doing all this, Gu Rumeng didn't know if she had a poor alcohol tolerance, and she got a little drunk after just one sip.

In a trance, she seemed to see the scene when she just picked Qin Yi up and brought him home, when the two of them also made a pinky promise.

But at that time, Qin Yi was introverted in every word and action.

But now...

Gu Rumeng stared at Qin Yi in front of her.

She could no longer see any trace of inferiority, but was full of confidence, and even caught a sense of maturity.

In her mind, she couldn't help but recall what Qin Yi said in the cake shop not long ago.

"Xiaoyi, you seem to have grown up."

Gu Rumeng said, and looked at him carefully for a few more times, "The flesh on your arms has also increased, not as thin as at the beginning."

"Because being loved will grow flesh and blood."

Qin Yi's serious answer made Gu Rumeng stunned again, and the corners of her eyes were unconsciously filled with smiles.

"Where did you learn this?"

"Xiao Huizi recommended me a few novels recently, and I saw them in the comments section."

"You are about to take the college entrance examination, you should practice more questions and read more textbooks."

"I just took a few glances and stopped reading."

"Okay."

Gu Rumeng took a few more sips of wine.

Her alcohol tolerance is indeed as poor as Kong Xinrui said.

After just a few sips, her face began to turn red, and she seemed a little dizzy.

But she still took a sip from time to time.

When the two bottles of beer were almost empty...

"Xiaoyi, can I borrow your shoulder to lean on?"

When Gu Rumeng said this, her head had already fallen on Qin Yi's shoulder.

"Of course."

Qin

Qin Yi adjusted his posture and tried to make Gu Rumeng lean on him more comfortably.

"Xiao Yi, have you heard the song "Insects Fly"?"

Gu Rumeng asked again.

"Yes."

Qin Yi nodded. Tang Baba had taught him this song before.

"Can you sing it to your sister?"

Gu Rumeng paused, her eyes began to redden: "My mother used to like this song very much."

"Okay."

Qin Yi took a deep breath and then hummed softly.

"The dark sky is low, and the bright stars follow."

"Insects fly, insects fly."

"Who are you missing?"

"The stars in the sky are crying, and the roses on the ground are withering."

"The cold wind blows, the cold wind blows."

"As long as you are with me..."

...

A song fell.

Qin Yi heard the sound of even breathing.

He tilted his head slightly and found that Gu Rumeng had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

Seeing this, Qin Yi carefully held Gu Rumeng's head with his hands, and then put a pillow underneath.

Then he was afraid that Gu Rumeng would not sleep well on the sofa, so he planned to carry Gu Rumeng to the bedroom.

But he tried it and found embarrassedly that he didn't have enough strength.

"I have to exercise starting tomorrow."

Qin Yi made up his mind, then ran back to his room, took out the blanket from the closet and covered Gu Rumeng with it.

After doing all this, he heard Gu Rumeng's murmur.

"Mom..."

"I miss you so much..."

"Don't go... Don't go..."

Gu Rumeng seemed to have a nightmare, and her murmur was uneasy.

Qin Yi quickly squatted beside the sofa, and then gently held Gu Rumeng's hand.

At this moment, Gu Rumeng seemed to have found a sense of security in the dream.

"Don't go... Don't go..."

Gu Rumeng's murmur was no longer as anxious as before, and gradually became gentle.

"Sister Rumeng, I won't leave. Go to sleep, go to sleep..."

Qin Yi brushed the hair off Gu Rumeng's face and hummed the song "Flying Insects" again.

Gradually, Gu Rumeng calmed down and stopped murmuring, but she held Qin Yi's hand tightly and refused to let go.

Qin Yi tried to pull away, but failed several times.

In the end, he simply didn't plan to go back to the room, so he just squatted on the side and hummed a few words from time to time.

Baozi quietly climbed onto the sofa, next to Gu Rumeng and Qin Yi, and gradually fell asleep while listening to the humming.
