Women, no matter how strong and capable they are, become vulnerable to the point of heartbreak when it comes to emotions.
I am like this, and Mina is no exception.
Watching her down drink after drink as if it were water, I felt an indescribable bitterness in my heart. I wanted to call Zhuo Feng to come keep her company, but I was afraid it would only make her more upset.
My own alcohol tolerance was only one drink, and Xiao Minxing was still waiting downstairs. I couldn't imagine how he would react if he burst into Mina's house, so I could only keep an eye on the time.
With just a few minutes left, I stood up, took Mina's glass away, and said, "Come with me. I'll get you drunk and take you somewhere fun."
Mina struggled a bit and said, "Come on, you’re cooped up like a little wife every day. How would you know where the fun places are? I'd rather stay at home..."
Before she could finish her sentence, I had already pushed her out of the house and escorted her unsteadily to the elevator.
It was easy to imagine Xiao Minxing's face turning green when he saw me putting Mina into the car.
I pretended not to notice and sat in the back with him, saying, "Let's go home."
Mina was probably really drunk. Once outside in the breeze, the effects of the alcohol hit her hard. Her head leaned against my shoulder as she squinted at Xiao Minxing for a moment before mistakenly thinking she was whispering when she actually asked loudly, "Is that your husband up front?"
I felt extremely awkward and held her up, saying, "You're already drunk. Don't talk; just lie down for a bit."
Mina laughed and said, "Anan, I actually admire you. You know someone like Xiao Minxing? Who could handle him? You actually dared to sleep with him while he was drunk and tricked him into marriage with just a few words. Do you know that if women in Haicheng found out about this, someone would jump out on the street to kill you...?"
I almost wanted to cover her mouth. I was anxious and flustered while stealing glances at Xiao Minxing's expression.
He seemed oblivious to everything we were saying and was driving very seriously, automatically blocking us out. He probably already thought of me as crazy.
I had rarely seen Mina drunk before and didn't know she would be such a chatterbox when intoxicated. No matter how much I urged her to be quiet, she continued talking without care.
"To love someone, you have to be like you—reckless and unscrupulous. Even if it means stealing them for a night, it's worth it compared to those feelings hidden away forever."
I couldn't help but respond, "Hiding feelings isn't so bad; at least it saves you from being laughed at."
Mina patted my face and said, "What do we care about others' jokes? Life is our own. If I had half your courage, I wouldn't be like this now."
I seized the opportunity to ask, "What's wrong? Is it unrequited love?"
She forced a smile, and as she laughed, tears began to flow. Shaking her head, she said, "It's not that I can't have him; I can't even think about it."
"Who is he? Tell me, let me see if he's worth your sadness."
Mina stared blankly for a moment, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads. Then she whispered, "A public lover, someone I can only see but can't approach. But Anan, you don't know how handsome he is. He's that kind of cool handsome. How cool? If I don't call him for a week, he'll forget who I am."
She rambled on, crying more as she spoke, her words becoming increasingly incoherent until she was just sobbing softly. Yet she never revealed any information about that person, as if he were a figment of her imagination.
After getting home, Xiao Minxing surprisingly took the initiative to help me get Mina inside. He kindly opened the door to the bedroom where I used to stay and then busied himself inside. By the time we entered, the bed was made, the floor was clean, and the entire room was tidy.
Once I settled Mina and came out, I saw him sitting alone in the living room on the second floor, scrolling through his mobile phone.
The sunlight slanted in through the window, cascading over his head and shoulders before gradually spreading onto the sofa and table.
He looked calm and relaxed, his long fingers gliding over the screen of his mobile phone while his gaze remained focused on it.
"Um, thank you," I said awkwardly as I walked over to him.
Xiao Minxing nodded and replied with a simple "Hmm," before adding after a moment, "You really should thank me."
Well, this kind of rudeness wasn't new to me. However, when he said it, my gratitude noticeably diminished. I didn't linger and turned to leave.
But he called out from behind me, "I know who that person is."
I turned back abruptly and asked him, "Who?"
Xiao Minxing lifted his mobile phone slightly. Since it was too far away, I couldn't see what was on it clearly. So I walked over and squatted down to see a man dressed in black with leather gloves on his hands. He wore a hat pulled low over his face and a mask covering his features; it was impossible to tell what he looked like.
"Can you tell who this is?" I asked.
He replied, "This person is a member of a special organization. In public places, others generally won't see his full appearance; otherwise, there would be life-threatening risks. They also don't get too close to anyone because being close to anyone carries risks."
I refused to back down and retorted, "Mina said he is a public lover. If he doesn't get close to anyone, how can there be any feelings? Besides, if what you say is true, how do you know it's his?"
The words were out, but my face was almost pressed against Xiao Minxing's. The key was that this Good Fellow didn't move at all; he just sat there, even worried I might fall, casually supporting my body to maintain this distance.
His breath felt like a toxic mist, clouding my senses and making my cheeks burn. I wanted to push myself up with my hands, but when I tried to press down, it felt soft. Looking down, I saw his long legs.
I immediately pulled back, feeling scorched.
Xiao Minxing casually said, "Why are you panicking now? When you were sleeping with me, you weren't like this."
At that moment, my entire body felt hot. It seemed Mina's words had been heard word for word by him. This kind of chat between best friends was usually unfiltered, and now he brought it up to mock me—it was infuriating.
He still wore a look as if I had gained a significant advantage: "Didn't you hear your friend say that if you hadn't used tricks to sleep with me, how would you have the chance to sit here now?"
I could no longer hold back and shouted at him, "Stop saying I slept with you! Didn't you want to sleep with me?"
Before I could finish my sentence, he tightly wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned down to whisper in my ear with a laugh, "I do want to sleep with you right now."
I was about to go crazy. What kind of person was he? We were clearly discussing serious matters just moments ago; how did we end up here? And the situation left me no room to resist.
Xiao Minxing had already started leading me toward the room. I struggled a bit, but he simply picked me up, lowering his head to my neck while blowing warm air and pressing his lips against me.
