Yesterday, the news of i Ruyan’s recovery had already been shared with everyone, so early this morning, Xv Baiping brought along Miaoqiu, Nao Nao, and Xianrong, and they were busy slaughtering chickens and geese, even making dumplings, bustling around all morning. By noon, they had prepared a full table of dishes.
Xv Baiping ntioned that it was no easy feat for the family to reunite in good health, and a al like this was absolutely essential.
Everyone sat around a large round table. Xu Shaohui sat at the head, with Lin Tian and the Elder on his left.
With n sitting together, alcohol was inevitable. For this occasion, Xu Shaohui even brought out his treasured Bamboo Snake Wine of many years. As soon as the lid was opened, the rich aroma of the wine wafted out, having a fresh bamboo scent yet being quite pungent.
"I got this wine from the Tang Family a few years back. At that ti it was already a thirty-year-old brew, and now it’s probably around forty. Lin Tian, today you and I should have a good drink," Xu Shaohui said with a laugh, patting Lin Tian on the shoulder.
Lin Tian laughed, "The wine may be good, but we shouldn’t drink too much. Uncle, you’ve just recovered, so take it easy."
"Well, without enough, wine doesn’t taste right." Xu Shaohui laughed heartily, patting the wine jar the size of a basketball, "When I was young, I could finish a jar and still sing Farewell My Concubine!"
"You have quite the tolerance," Lin Tian laughed.
That statent was definitely bragging. Half a jar of forty-year-old Bamboo Snake Wine, how strong must it be? Without using Spiritual Qi to dissolve it, Lin Tian would be knocked out.
The Elder laughed heartily, "Wine from the Tang Family? Then I must try it. Those guys who carry poison are great at concocting venom, but their brew is what’s interesting."
"Right? I went through quite an effort to get this jar from the Tang Family. Everyone should have a taste," Xu Shaohui said with a smile.
At this mont, Xiang Ming ran over with a white porcelain bowl, placed it on the table, and loudly declared, "Uncle, fill it up for !"
"Hahaha..."
The whole table burst into laughter. This little guy was just a bit taller than the table, and half a bowl would have him sleeping for three days.
"Go drink your soda, kid. Don’t involve yourself in adults’ business," the Elder said with a dark face.
"If Lin Tian can drink, so can I!" Xiang Ming said stubbornly, lifting his head.
Thunk~
The Elder knocked him gently on the head, saying with displeasure, "Mind your manners, call Master!"
"Oh..." Xiang Ming covered his head with both hands, incredibly aggrieved.
"Alright, I’ll fill it up for you." Xu Shaohui affectionately patted Xiang Ming’s head, then filled the bowl.
"Shaohui..." Xv Baiping looked at Xu Shaohui and shook her head, "Xiang Ming is still young, don’t let him drink."
"It’s fine, since he wants it, let him have it. He’ll realize how it feels, and wouldn’t ask for it again," Xu Shaohui said.
"Okay." Xv Baiping nodded and then said, "But you should drink less too, no more than... a bowl."
A bowl like this, with at least three taels, is not much, especially for Xu Shaohui. Although he can’t finish half a jar, seven or eight bowls wouldn’t be an issue. But given he just recovered, he shouldn’t drink too much, and the wine is quite strong.
"..." Xu Shaohui’s expression froze for a mont and then he smiled bitterly, "That’s too little, how about three bowls?"
"One bowl."
"Two bowls..."
Xv Baiping suddenly placed both hands on the wine jar, "Just one bowl, no more, and perhaps let Miaoqiu manage the wine since she is the host, serving everyone is only proper."
Xu Shaohui smiled bitterly, realizing this wasn’t open to negotiation, and said nothing more, just smacking his lips, "Looks like I’ll have to savor this bowl slowly."
At this mont, Xiang Ming tugged at Lin Tian’s clothes, "Dare you have a drink with ?"
Lin Tian squinted and smiled, "I don’t dare."
"Hmph! Coward," Xiang Ming stuck his neck up arrogantly, returning to his seat, winking at Lin Tian with a smug look.
Then, he held the bowl with both hands and drank two large gulps.
"Cough, cough, cough..." As the wine hit his throat, Xiang Ming started coughing with his tongue out, his entire face turning as red as a monkey’s butt.
"Hahaha..." The whole table laughed again.
Miaoqiu gently patted his back and complained, "Are you silly? Just take a small sip, who drinks like that?"
Xiang Ming shook his head and exclaid, "I want more..."
Before finishing his sentence, the little fellow’s head drooped, and he fell asleep on the table, snoring lightly.
By the end of the al, Lin Tian had drunk quite a bit. He didn’t use Spiritual Qi to dissipate the alcohol, instead deciding to take a shower and sleep comfortably with the tipsiness.
After a hot shower, casually wrapping himself in a robe, he opened the room door to find Miaoqiu sitting on the bed, watching him with an amused smile.
"Oh..." Lin Tian hadn’t expected soone else to be in the room and was startled. Then he smiled wryly, "When did you co in?"
"Just a mont ago," Miaoqiu said, licking her lips with a smile while looking at Lin Tian’s bare upper body, "I still prefer you without clothes."
"..." Lin Tian laughed out loud, spread his arms, and lunged towards Miaoqiu.
Into the lion’s den, escape won’t be easy!
But who would have thought, Miaoqiu skilfully turned aside, making Lin Tian fall onto the bed.
Lin Tian tilted his head towards Miaoqiu and smiled, "What? Playing hard to get today?"
"Get lost." Miaoqiu rolled her eyes and then, with an enigmatic smile, said, "Let ask you sothing."
"What?" Lin Tian sensed from her strange smile that it wouldn’t be anything good.
Miaoqiu leaned in with a gossiping face, "Did you and Ruyan..."
"Huh?"
"Huh what? Don’t think I don’t know! Ruyan was acting off today, kept sneaking glances at you during the al, blushing almost like she’s in love. Don’t tell nothing happened between you two; I won’t believe it." Miaoqiu crossed her arms with a knowing look.
Lin Tian smiled wryly, "You noticed all that?"
"Of course, it’s so obvious! If I can’t see it, I’d be stupid. Seriously though, are you even human? As soon as Ruyan recovered, you went for her, if you couldn’t hold back... you could have co to , you know."
"Um..." Lin Tian’s face stiffened, "Are you mad?"
"Not really, I just feel for Ruyan," Miaoqiu said. "Tell , how many tis did you tornt that girl yesterday?"
Lin Tian smiled wryly, "What if I say nothing happened, would you believe ?"
Miaoqiu raised her eyebrows, "What do you think?"
"Honestly! I was the one being taken!" Lin Tian asserted.
Miaoqiu’s expression turned a bit odd, "What do you an taken?"
Lin Tian pointed to his mouth, "With this..."
Miaoqiu paused, then burst out laughing, shaking so much with laughter that tears nearly ca out.
"What’s so funny?" Lin Tian didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Having a woman willingly do that for him was a testant to his charm, wasn’t it?
Miaoqiu gradually cald down, smiling, and offered, "How about this, I help you, so you can take her?"
Lin Tian was taken aback; this woman was crazy! Helping her man with another woman, especially her sister.
"But as a condition, you have to satisfy first!" With that, Miaoqiu suddenly pounced on Lin Tian, tugged gently, and unwrapped the robe.
