Watching in the dark night

Chapter 24 Bracelet
  After three rounds of drinking, because it was red wine, a few of them only blushed a little and were not very tipsy.

"Xiao Shuang arrived at this company not long ago, right?" Mei An gradually leaned on the back of the chair after drinking. She relaxed completely and looked at Yan Shuang with blurred eyes and asked.

After swallowing the cake in her mouth, Yan Shuang replied: "It's been almost half a year!"

"How are you getting along with your colleagues? If you are bullied, just come downstairs and look for me." Hao Xin also asked her.

Before Yan Shuang could answer, he continued on his own: "Treat me as your brother. If anyone dares to bully you, I will be the first to rush up and help you beat them!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists. Mei An, who was sitting next to him, was so angry that he punched him, "Are you drunk too much?" and then glared at him angrily.

"I didn't drink too much, just a little red wine. I'm serious, Xiao Shuang!" He suddenly sat up straight and approached Yan Shuang. The tone was extremely serious.

She must have drank too much, Yan Shuang concluded in her mind. Who would mistakenly identify their sister in front of their clients? How embarrassing is this?
  Although, Yan Shuang still answered him patiently, "No one bullied me. My colleagues are all very nice."

"Hmph, where are they?" Mei An, who had been pinching Hao Xin, heard Yan Shuang say this and suddenly said this angrily. She seems to particularly dislike her colleagues.

Then she immediately shut up, and then raised her arm to hit Hao Xin, "It's all you, it's all you." After drinking, she looked a bit like a little girl.

They were probably annoyed when people from the company came to buy things. Yan Shuang, who was snickering on the side, turned her head to see if Aunt Ning felt as funny as she did.

But he saw her holding the string of jade stones originally placed on the table and turning them around with her hands.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were looking at a certain spot in the store without focusing. I don’t know what I’m thinking!
  Yan Shuang immediately put away her smile. Although everything was very warm tonight, the three people also took good care of her.

But since she entered the store, she always felt that something was wrong.

Now, she seems to understand a little bit.

"That friend of yours." Yan Shuang said softly.

Mei An and Hao Xin, who were still fighting, stopped and looked over.

Aunt Ning seemed to be brought back to her senses by Yan Shuang's voice and looked at her as well.

"Is he gone?" As soon as she said this, Yan Shuang immediately regretted it.

What if she thinks too much and talks about her friends like this, will she be scolded?
  "What are you doing"

Mei An's expression suddenly changed and he looked at her in disbelief. Hao Xin also immediately sat up straight, his eyes searching.

If the expressions of these two people were too exaggerated, then Aunt Ning's reaction was even more exciting.

She turned around so violently that the wine glass in front of her was knocked to the ground, making a harsh sound of the glass shattering.

Shocked by their reaction, Yan Shuang apologized profusely.

"I'm sorry, I was just guessing. If I offended your friend, I'm willing to apologize to her in person!" She stood up in a hurry.

Seeing that she was ready to bow and apologize, Mei An pulled her back to sit down again.

Her expression has returned to normal, "Hey! I thought you had some mind-reading skills, but it turns out I guessed it!"

Hao Xin also slowly withdrew his probing eyes. After hearing what she said, Aunt Ning fell back on the seat back again, still spinning the string of jade stones in her hand.

"Yes, you guessed it right. She passed away." Mei An answered Yan Shuang's doubts straightforwardly.

Seeing Yan Shuang is still very apologetic. Hao Xin handed her a drink and comforted her: "It's okay. Our friend has passed away a long time ago. This day is her birthday every year. We will get together to express our thoughts about her."

"It was a happy day, so I didn't explain it to you. It's us who should apologize." "No, no, no need to apologize." She was too reckless.

Yan Shuang took the drink, still very embarrassed.

Suddenly, he felt heavy. It was Mei An next to her who lay on top of her.

The blush on her face was deeper than before. Yan Shuang had already drunk her and quickly turned around to support her body.

"Xiaoshuang, don't be embarrassed, I'm very happy that you can come!"

She grasped Yan Shuang's hands with both hands, held her head against the red face, and stared at her with a pair of watery eyes.

Hao Xin on the side saw that Yan Shuang was about to be pushed to the ground by Mei An, so he hurriedly came over to help Mei An and coax her to sit up.

They must be a couple!
  But this time, Yan Shuang didn't dare to ask any more random questions. What happened just now was enough to make her embarrassed for a while.

Unknowingly, Mei An got herself drunk with red wine without anyone knowing.
  Hao Xin took Mei An's grasping hand, smiled sheepishly at Yan Shuang, and said, "Xiao Shuang, I have to send her back."

"Send her back first and I'll lock the door later." Aunt Ning helped Hao Xin control Mei An while urging them to leave early.

Yan Shuang looked at Mei An, who was gradually losing control, and asked Hao Xin, "Do you need my help?"

"No, you should go back earlier. Be careful when driving so late." He dragged Mei An's crooked body and said back to her.

"Yes, it's too late. You, a girl, should be careful when you go home." Aunt Ning also warned Yan Shuang from the side.

"Then Aunt Ning, I'll see you off." Yan Shuang was worried that Aunt Ning would go back alone.

Aunt Ning touched her head and looked into her eyes. There was something Yan Shuang couldn't understand, "My home is right next to it, very close. You should go back quickly!"

"Okay then, I'll leave first, Aunt Ning." Yan Shuang watched Hao Xin and Mei An walking further and further away, and began to say goodbye to Aunt Ning.

"Well, be safe!" Aunt Ning stood behind her and watched her leave.

When she went to work the next day, Yan Shuang walked into the office dizzy.

Someone suddenly sat in Le Jie's seat. She paused and then remembered that a new colleague had arrived at this position yesterday.

"Good morning, Sister Shuang." Yi stood up gently and greeted her.

"Good morning." Yan Shuang nodded slightly, smiled at her, and walked into his office.

Unexpectedly, Yi Qingqing followed directly. She leaned against Yan Shuang's table, as if she had something to say, but remained silent.

"What's wrong? Do you have something to ask me?" Yan Shuang saw her frowning and biting her lip.

"Um, Sister Shuang. Although my uncle criticized me yesterday, I always feel uncomfortable if I don't ask clearly." Yi Qingqing saw her asking and said with a wink.

"Are you asking about your previous colleague in that position?" Yan Shuang got straight to the point.

"Yeah." Yi Qing listened to her question and nodded repeatedly, "I really can't help it. Sister Shuang, the day I came to report, I heard some gossip in the lounge."

Seeing Yan Shuang being so direct, she bit her lip and asked straightforwardly.

"Sister Shuang, tell me, is there anything dirty in our company?"
