Jiang Xinyu smiled and thanked Sister Tian, then took a car ho. It wasn’t even two o’clock yet, so she quickly started a fire, boiled water in one pot, and stead yams in another.
She cleaned the yard again, washed both of their clothes, and then retrieved a large basin from her space to take a bath, feeling very refreshed.
Lying in bed for a nap, she still didn’t know how late they’d be drinking tonight.
By five-thirty in the afternoon, Jiang Xinyu woke up, changed clothes, and waited for Wei Kaiyun.
At six o’clock, there was a knock on the door. "Director Wei, do you want to freshen up?"
"Yes, no rush. We’ve got a reservation at seven at the restaurant."
Wei Kaiyun saw the clean yard and his clothes on the clothesline and imdiately hugged Jiang Xinyu, releasing her shortly after.
"I’m going to wash up."
At six forty, the two drove out. "We won’t be late, will we?"
"No, don’t worry."
When they arrived at the restaurant’s entrance, "Director Yuan is here, let’s go in."
At this point, Jiang Xinyu was definitely being well-behaved.
"Xiao Wei? Wei Kaiyun? Is that really you? You’re back?"
"Director Jiang, long ti no see. I’m here to learn."
"Got it, you’re with Director Yuan, right?"
"Yep, let’s have sothing good."
"Don’t worry. With you here, there’ll definitely be sothing nice. Go ahead, I’ll arrange it for you."
"Thanks, Old Jiang."
"No need to be so polite."
Entering the private room, they saw Yuan Xinyun and Tong Mingzhu sitting close, chatting and laughing. Anyone could tell at a glance there was sothing going on between them.
"Xiao Wei, you’re here?"
"Apologies, Director Yuan, I needed to freshen up."
"No problem, we just got here five minutes ago. Secretary Tong, go order so dishes."
"No need, I told Director Jiang here; he’ll handle the arrangents for us."
"By the way, back then, you had a particularly good relationship with Old Jiang."
"Director Yuan, I brought wine, purchased Erguotou when I went to the Capital, shall we taste it?"
"That’s excellent, I can’t enjoy a al without wine."
Tong Mingzhu shuddered upon hearing that Yuan Xinyun wanted to drink; whenever he drank, it ant trouble for her.
However, she didn’t dare say anything. She hoped he wouldn’t drink too much.
Wei Kaiyun brought over four bottles of alcohol. He poured a full cup for Yuan Xinyun and a bowl for himself.
The dishes ca out quickly, including a fish, a bowl of at, peanuts, and scrambled eggs. It was quite a feast.
"Old Yuan, Xiao Wei, you two take your ti drinking. I have work. Let’s have a al at my place soti?" Jiang Cong said with a smile.
"Alright, you go on with your work."
The two n exchanged drinks while Jiang Xinyu and Tong Mingzhu quietly ate on the side.
"Secretary Jiang, go ask a server for a basin of rice soup."
"Yes."
Jiang Xinyu ca back with a basin of gray rice soup. "Director Wei, this is sorghum rice soup."
"Alright, pour a bowl. You all have so too, it’s good for the stomach."
Jiang Xinyu knew it was intended for her, so she didn’t hold back. After serving a bowl each for the three of them, she also drank so.
Sorghum rice soup wasn’t as good as rice soup, but it was decent enough.
An hour later, they had finished two bottles of wine already, and their speech was starting to slur a bit.
Jiang Xinyu wondered what was happening. Last ti in the city, Wei Kaiyun hadn’t drunk much, but today he drank more than before.
She leaned towards Tong Mingzhu, "Secretary Tong, should we let the leaders keep drinking?"
"Secretary Jiang, I don’t dare to speak up, can you?"
"I don’t dare either, but it’s not a good idea for them to keep drinking like this."
They were still discussing matters of the textile factory, and Yuan Xinyun wanted to continue drinking but was refused by Wei Kaiyun.
"Director Yuan, let’s drink another ti. I can’t go on, and I have to drive back."
"Haha, alright, next ti it is."
"Leaders, do you still want to eat?" Jiang Xinyu still asked.
Yuan Xinyun squinted, smiling at Jiang Xinyu. This young girl, could it be that Wei Kaiyun really isn’t up to it? He knew about last ti; even with a naked woman in his arms, he wasn’t aroused. What a pity for this girl.
"Director Yuan, do you want to eat?"
"No. What about you?"
"I’m not eating either. Let’s go; I’ll drive you back."
Yuan Xinyun waved his hand, "No need, I live just a five-minute walk from here. No need to drive , you two can head back."
"Then we’ll head back first."
"You go ahead, we’ll leave shortly."
The two walked out, "Director Wei, let drive."
"Okay, I’m feeling quite dizzy."
As the car drove halfway, Jiang Xinyu glanced at Wei Kaiyun, noticing he had his eyes closed, which made her feel a bit concerned.
Once they arrived at the house, Jiang Xinyu got out to open the door and then drove the car into the yard. After locking up, she opened the car door on the passenger side.
"Director Wei, we’re ho. You can get out."
Wei Kaiyun opened his eyes, glanced at Jiang Xinyu, then got out of the car, though his movents were a bit unsteady.
Jiang Xinyu carefully followed behind him, afraid he’d fall, but fortunately, he went straight to his own room.
Jiang Xinyu followed him in and saw that he just fell onto the bed. "Director Wei, this won’t do. You’ll get sick. It’s better to take off your clothes and lie in bed."
Wei Kaiyun obediently sat up, took off his shoes and clothes. When Jiang Xinyu saw that he was about to remove his undershirt and thermal pants, she quickly ran out, thinking that Wei Kaiyun was quite peaceful when drunk, not making a fuss or causing trouble.
In her past life, one of her roommates often got drunk and either laughed loudly, cried loudly, sang, or danced—and sotis even perford a striptease.
Back then, being a country bumpkin, she was terrified in such scenarios, watching apprehensively from the side.
At least this one isn’t like that, she’s really thankful.
Jiang Xinyu locked the main hall door, peeked inside after lifting the side of the curtain, and saw Wei Kaiyun was already under the covers before returning to her own room.
The downside here was that there wasn’t a door to the bedroom, but since he was already asleep and didn’t cause any drunken antics, there was nothing to worry about.
Wei Kaiyun heard the noises from the east room and smiled.
A while later, once he felt that Jiang Xinyu had laid down, he got up, slipped on his shoes, still shirtless, wearing only thermal pants, and went to the east room.
Jiang Xinyu had just blown out the candle and lay down when she heard footsteps. She assud he was going to the restroom and didn’t think much of it until the curtain was lifted.
"Thirsty? I’ll get you so water," she said, not realizing Wei Kaiyun was shirtless as her eyes hadn’t adjusted to the dark after blowing out the candle.
"No need." Wei Kaiyun said as he climbed onto the bed, pulled open Jiang Xinyu’s quilt, and lay down, holding her.
"You, get out."
"Be good, or else sothing might happen."
