After Marrying the Officer

Huang Xiaoyun responded with a wry smile, "It's nothing much, just that the Commander... asked me to watch Chuyi and forbid her from drinking in the future."

Qian Qianqian glanced at Huang Xiaoyun, then at the phone, and at Xia Chuyi who was dozing off at the side, leaning on the table. She shook her head and asked, "Why?"

"Did Chuyi not go crazy after drinking?"

"She even called Huo Commander and spoke sweet nothings to him!" Qian Qianqian swung her head from side to side, utterly baffled.

Frowning with a bitter smile, Huang Xiaoyun said, "Probably, maybe because Huo Commander isn't by Chuyi's side, the Commander worries something might happen to the boss."

In any case, since the Commander gave the order, she would have to keep an eye on her own boss from now on and prevent her from drinking.

Qian Qianqian shook her head, not understanding at all.

Xia Chuyi, the instigator of the drinking, fell asleep, and the remaining people, after receiving such a call from Huo Commander, naturally wouldn't drink any more.

The group supported the dazed Xia Chuyi back to their rented place, got her cleaned up, and then she rested.

The next day, when Xia Chuyi woke up, her head felt slightly uncomfortable.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Chuyi slipped into her space to fix herself up a bit, and then came out feeling completely refreshed.

After exiting the space, Xia Chuyi went to "Youwei," where Huang Xiaoyun and Qian Qianqian, who held their liquor well, had already arrived early.

"Sorry for dragging you into drinking last night," Xia Chuyi said, shaking her head. "I really didn't expect the alcohol content to be that high."

Qian Qianqian and Huang Xiaoyun exchanged glances, thinking: High? It was obviously the boss's poor tolerance.

"Chuyi, let's not drink in the future," Huang Xiaoyun said seriously after thinking it over, "Drinking isn't good for the health after all."

Xia Chuyi chuckled and replied, "I was just in a good mood, so I had a couple of drinks."

"I'll be careful in the future and buy less potent alcohol."

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoyun immediately shook her head and declared, "That won't do either!"

"Drinking really isn't good!" Huang Xiaoyun emphasized with utter seriousness and apparent anxiety.

She couldn't well say that it was Huo Commander who forbade her from going out to drink, could she?

Huang Xiaoyun felt it difficult to say, but Qian Qianqian had no such reservations and immediately said with a teasing smile, "Hehe, Chuyi, did you know? Just yesterday, your Huo Commander called Xiaoyun specially to tell her to keep an eye on you and not allow you to drink!"

"What?" Xia Chuyi exclaimed in surprise, "Huo Shiqian?"

"Really?" Xia Chuyi turned to look at Huang Xiaoyun.

Huang Xiaoyun felt slightly embarrassed but nodded and said, "The Commander... he's probably just worried about you."

Xia Chuyi tilted her head, trying to recall, and then asked the two, "So, how did he know I was drinking?"

Qian Qianqian and Huang Xiaoyun: …

So, their boss had drunk herself into total amnesia over just that tiny bit of alcohol?

Seeing the looks on their faces, Xia Chuyi immediately asked in shock, "Did I do something last night?"

Qian Qianqian and Huang Xiaoyun looked at each other.

In the end, it was Qian Qianqian who stepped forward and told Xia Chuyi, "Last night, you phoned Huo Commander and confessed your feelings to him."

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi's face was a picture of horror.

"What? I confessed to him?" Xia Chuyi shook her head vehemently like a rattle-drum, unable to believe it.

After pondering, Qian Qianqian added, "Well, it wasn't exactly a confession. You just said you'd marry him as soon as you graduated."

Qian Qianqian didn't hear the conversation clearly and said this half-knowingly to Xia Chuyi.

Xia Chuyi fell into despair.
