Xu Wendong looked astonished, clearly not expecting this little Nun to want to play such a promiscuous ga with him. After regaining his composure, he raised his hand and flicked her on the forehead, complaining, "You’ve just learned a new word and you’re using it wrong, do you know what it ans?"
"I just want to experience love, to forget love," the little Nun imdiately displayed a wronged expression, her clear, innocent eyes filled with grievance, as if she hadn’t expected Xu Wendong to react like this.
Xu Wendong sighed and shook his head helplessly, "Xiao Rou, love is sothing that can beco addictive."
The little Nun’s eyes were resolute, "The more addictive sothing is, the greater the sense of achievent after forgetting it, and only then can the Buddha Ancestor see my sincerity."
Xu Wendong’s face turned bitter.
Despite such words, how many people could truly avoid being troubled by love?
It’s sothing unseen and untouchable,
yet it’s the most hurtful sword in the world.
Changing the subject, he said, "Well, it’s getting late, I should go back now. Rember, watch less of those things, okay?"
The little Nun responded with a disappointed "oh."
Later, Xu Wendong ca down the mountain, drove a Passat back to the Colorful Prospect Community, and as soon as he opened the door, he slled the aroma of food.
Looking towards the dining room, there were more than a dozen deliciously fragrant dishes already set out, not to ntion two bottles of Wuliangye and two bottles of red wine.
"Wendong, we owe it to you for today!" Chen Dong quickly got up to greet him, then added, "When you have ti, bring your friend over, and we, as a couple, would like to treat him to a al to show our gratitude."
Xu Wendong replied while changing his shoes, "Brother Dong, it was just a small effort, not a big deal."
"Wendong, you’re back. Go wash up—it’s ti to eat!" Wang Luyao ca out of the kitchen with the last dish of seafood dumpling soup.
She was dressed in casual ho wear and an apron, giving off the vibe of an enchanting little chef.
"Okay!"
Xu Wendong went straight into the bathroom, washed his face, then took off his jacket and, wearing just a thin T-shirt, headed to the dining room.
By then, the couple had already filled the glasses.
"Wendong, no more words, this drink is for you!" Chen Dong picked up the near-full glass of liquor in front of him, tilted his head back, and drank it all heartily.
Xu Wendong, also quite bold, drank his glass, and Wang Luyao delicately added many dishes to his plate, whispering, "Have sothing to line your stomach first, or you’ll get drunk easily!"
Xu Wendong replied, feeling flattered, "Thank you, Sister Luyao!"
"No need for thanks between us," Wang Luyao cast him a charming glance, her delicate jade foot even touching Xu Wendong’s under the table.
Xu Wendong suddenly felt dry-mouthed and began daydreaming.
"Wendong, co, let’s have another drink!" Chen Dong raised his glass again, eyes full of gratitude, with even an emotional tear surfacing.
After having another drink together, Chen Dong said, "Maybe a house doesn’t an much to you, but it’s different for ."
"I was born in a poor mountainous area, my family scrimped and saved to send to college, and not just for —my parents’ dream was also for to leave the mountains."
"Leaving the mountains isn’t hard."
"What’s hard is establishing oneself in the city after leaving the mountains!"
"You ntioned pooling so money for a down paynt to buy a house in the city, and I really want to."
"But..."
"How to pool it?"
"Ask my family for money?"
"They can barely make ends et in a year, and even though housing prices in Lianyun County aren’t high, they’re still suffocating."
"Plus, now that I’m married, how can I keep asking my parents for money like I did when I was a kid?"
At this, he took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his originally pained face, "The reason I could settle in Lianyun County is all thanks to you, you’re the benefactor of our family."
"I’ve finished mine, you take your ti!"
Saying this, he heartily drank his third glass, his face now blushing, but his spirits remained high.
"Wendong, I don’t know what to say. From now on, what’s mine is yours," Chen Dong hiccuped.
Wang Luyao chid in, "Yes, Wendong, our house keys will be ready soon. You should cancel your current lease and co live with us!"
Chen Dong agreed, "Yes, yes, your sister-in-law’s cooking isn’t bad, you won’t have to cook alone."
"If living with us feels inconvenient, you could stay in the other apartnt."
Xu Wendong’s mind wandered.
Could he sneak around with Wang Luyao while living in their house?
Though immoral, why did the thought alone make his imagination run wild?
"We’ll talk about that later," Xu Wendong neither agreed nor refused.
"Co on, let’s drink!" Wang Luyao smiled, lifting her glass of red wine, and the three toasted together, with Xu Wendong eating heartily.
It had to be said, Wang Luyao’s culinary skills were indeed impressive, even better than so hotel chefs.
However.
Chen Dong was clearly no match for alcohol; after four glasses, he was already a bit tipsy.
This was quite normal.
After all, with four drinks down, a bottle of Wuliangye was almost empty, and he hadn’t eaten anything. No wonder he couldn’t handle it.
"Wendong, your brother drank a bit too much. You continue eating; I’ll go lay down in the bedroom for a while," Chen Dong grinned sheepishly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Luyao put on a stern face, "Not even halfway through and you’re done? Don’t you think that’s rude? Skip the white liquor, switch to red!"
Xu Wendong mused at the situation.
Earlier, he’d wondered why Wang Luyao stopped her husband from going to the bedroom since only after he was asleep could they do such things without worry.
Now, he understood.
She wanted to make sure her husband mixed drinks!
Though red wine wasn’t strong, drinking it after white liquor would surely make Chen Dong even drunker.
"Right, right, wife is right. Heading to the room now would be rude. Wendong, don’t laugh at your brother, I’ll switch to red," Chen Dong happily swapped for red wine.
"Brother Dong, let toast to you, wishing you both a blissful marriage and increasingly prosperous work and life!" Xu Wendong raised his glass, and though he only drank half, Chen Dong felt if Wendong drank half of a white, he should at least finish a red.
Thus, he tilted back his head and downed a glass of red.
As he drank it, it seed bland and tasteless.
But having two glasses of red, Chen Dong lay on the table snoring before long, falling into a deep sleep with occasional loud snores.
Wang Luyao’s heart leaped with joy, she winked at Xu Wendong, and the two helped the thoroughly drunk Chen Dong to the bedroom.
After laying her husband on his side on the bed, Wang Luyao gazed at Xu Wendong with affection, "Co on, let’s head to your room."
Xu Wendong pulled her into his arms, a sly grin spreading across his face, "Why go to my room? Don’t you think doing it in your husband’s presence would be more thrilling?"
