When Shu Pan returned to the community, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. There were dim street lights in the community, and there was no other light on the floor where they lived.
Shu Pan frowned, but Gu Shaoting hadn't come back yet. Now she was the only one at home. As soon as she returned to the bedroom, she went into the bathroom and took a hot bath. She felt much better.
Compared with the cold outside, the house was much warmer. Shu Pan read a book for a while and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Shu Pan frowned and subconsciously got up.
I wonder who else is coming at this time? Gu Shaoting has the key himself and doesn't know how to knock on the door.
"Mr. Gu, be careful, don't fall." The driver Xiao Wang's voice came from outside the closed door.
"I'm fine, come on, have another drink." Gu Shaoting was obviously drunk.
Shu Pan opened the door and saw two people at the door. The driver was supporting Gu Shaoting. Gu Shaoting smelled of alcohol, his face was red, and half of his body was hanging on the driver's body.
"Madam, Mr. Gu drank a little too much at the party today, please take care of him." Xiao Wang said respectfully.
"Okay. Thank you, please help him to the room." Shu Pan got out of the way, and Xiao Wang helped Gu Shaoting into the room.
After helping Gu Shaoting lie down on the bed, Xiao Wang turned around and said to Shu Pan, "Madam, I'm leaving first. If you need anything, you can call me at any time."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Be careful when you go back." Shu Pan warned.
After Xiao Wang returned, Shu Pan walked over and planned to help Gu Shaoting take off his shoes so that he could sleep more comfortably. Unexpectedly, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the bathroom in a crooked step. When he passed the door,
Shu Pan saw him slam into the door.
He seemed to feel no pain and didn't make any sound. He just paused for a while and then entered the bathroom.
The bathroom door was not closed, and only the sound of running water could be heard.
Does Gu Shaoting want to take a shower?
Shu Pan was worried that he would be drunk and drowning, so when she was about to check at the door, she suddenly saw his clothes scattered on the floor. She tidied them up and couldn't help but blush when she thought of the scene inside.
After a while, when he heard the sound of turning off the water, Shu Pan shivered with fright and hurried back to the room.
Gu Shaoting left the bedroom without taking off his pajamas, closed his eyes, and lay down on the bed.
He was very quiet, not even snoring at all. Shu Pan was not sure whether he was asleep or not, so he stared at him for a long time and saw that he didn't move, and then continued to gently plan to leave.
Just as she was about to close the door, Shu Pan heard Gu Shaoting on the bed behind him make an indistinct sound.
Shu Pan was startled, thinking that Gu Shaoting had woken up.
After taking a look, it turned out that it wasn't there yet, but after a while, Gu Shaoting's voice came again.
This time Gu Shaoting said several words in succession. Shu Pan listened carefully and finally recognized one word from Gu Shaoting's mouth: "water."
water?
Do you want to drink water?
As Shu Pan's mind slowly turned, Gu Shaoting shouted twice more: "Water...water..."
He seemed to be thirsty, and the whole room was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol.
He seemed to want to vomit, his head hung outside the edge of the bed, his eyes were closed, and he let out a suppressed groan.
Shu Pan called him uncertainly, "Gu Shaoting?"
Gu Shaoting didn't seem to hear anything and didn't react at all.
Shu Pan couldn't bear to see him working so hard, so she turned back and walked to the bed. Only then did she realize that the man's face was very pale now, completely different from the red color he had just walked in.
She saw him like this, so fragile, completely different from his usual coldness, and she couldn't ignore him.
"...Water..." Gu Shaoting murmured this word again.
