Chapter 2020: 2020. Gu Xia Extra Chapter (222)

As she spoke, there was a hint of desolation in her expression, her head hung low, and her voice carried a heavy nasal tone.

"I’ve been looking forward to this birthday for a year. Our whole family could celebrate it like before, but now, everything has changed..."

As she spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably.

Qi Ming watched and listened, his heart breaking for her.

Imagining the grand Qi family birthday banquet at this moment and comparing it to Miaomiao celebrating her birthday quietly here with only him as her company.

He was grateful to be here; otherwise, Miaomiao would be even more pitiful.

At the same time, he also hated himself for not being able to help Miaomiao and letting her be stranded outside.

"Miaomiao, don’t be like this. Second Brother swears to you that no matter when, I’ll protect you and won’t let anyone hurt you."

With tear-filled eyes, Qi Miao looked at him, her face filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Second Brother."

She held up her wine glass, clinked it with Qi Ming’s, and said, "Let’s drink until we’re drunk."

Qi Ming felt that at this moment, he couldn’t help her with anything. He could only make her happy on this birthday. In the past, her parents wouldn’t let Miaomiao drink too much, but now, he wouldn’t restrict her.

She could drink as much as she wanted since he, her brother, was here anyway.

"Alright, Second Brother will accompany you. We’ll drink until we’re drunk."

They ordered several bottles of top-grade red wine from the hotel. Although the alcohol content was not very high, the aftereffect was strong.

Qi Ming had hardly ever socialized and naturally had a poor alcohol tolerance. After drinking half a bottle of red wine, the aftereffect hit him hard, and he couldn’t bear it. He rushed to the restroom, vomited for a while, and finally came out with difficulty.

Qi Miao, holding her wine glass, walked unsteadily towards him. She supported his weak body to walk back and asked, "Second Brother, are you okay?"

"I’m okay. Let’s continue drinking."

"Alright."

Qi Ming was taller and heavier than Qi Miao, so she had trouble supporting him. They managed to return to the living room with difficulty, only for her foot to get tripped by the carpet. She started to fall sideways.

Qt Ming, although slightly drunk, was still sober. Seeing this, he quickly changed his position, held Qi Miao in his arms, and protected her head. Both of them fell onto the soft big bed nearby.

It seemed like Qi Miao was scared. After falling onto the bed, she lifted her head from Qi Ming’s arms.

The moment she raised her head, her lips brushed against his beard-stubbled chin, sending a tingling sensation, as if an electric current was coursing through Qi Ming’s body.

In that instant, it felt like ten thousand horses were running wildly in his heart, all of Qi Ming’s blood seemingly congealed.

His face reddened even more, and he didn’t know if it was the alcohol effects or something else. Qi Ming felt like all the blood in his body was rushing to his forehead, making him even more dizzy and nauseous.

But looking at the woman in front of him, he couldn’t bring himself to leave her. His body wasn’t listening to his brain; no, his body had already moved faster than his brain, leaning forward and capturing Qi Miao’s lips...

Five minutes later, Qi Ming lay down beside Qi Miao, his eyes tightly shut, his breath still bearing the residual urgency.

Qi Miao slowly sat up from his side, her lipstick smeared around her lips due to Qi Ming’s messy, frantic, and inexperienced kiss, but she didn’t intend to fix it.

Then, she walked to the bedside table, poured the previously bought sleeping pills into the toilet in the restroom, and flushed them away.
