Drowning His Sorrows in Wine
Even if he was defeated by Lingshan today, and he was pissed off by Shield bro, and he was surprised when he saw Lin Yi, Yutian felt that he couldn't stay calm!
It seemed like his years of training weren't enough! On the other hand, Lin Yi was still expressionless, as if he didn't know him. Yutian couldn't help but sigh. The gap between them was something he would never be able to catch up to!
Yushu was also curious about her brother's attitude towards Lin Yi. Why didn't he seem to be hostile towards Lin Yi? Was it because Shield bro was too weak that her brother couldn't bring himself to be hostile towards him, or was it because he was too strong that her brother didn't dare to be hostile towards him?
After they sat down, Jianwen told the waiters to start serving the dishes and ordered quite a lot of red wine.
Since the food was prepared beforehand, it didn't take much time for Mengyao and the others to arrive and serve the food on the table.
"Yutian bro, I didn't think that you're a major now. We've all grown up!" As the host today, Jianwen naturally raised his glass first. "In the blink of an eye, we're about to start our own families. I miss those carefree days!"
"Haha, people have to grow up eventually!" Yutian raised his glass as well, but he felt bitter in his heart. If it wasn't for Lingshan, he wouldn't have walked the path of righteousness, right? Would he still be as spoiled as before?
Yutian could never forget Lingshan's look of disdain. That hatred towards spoiled young masters came from the bottom of her heart. This was also the reason why Yutian pulled himself together. However, Yutian still couldn't surpass Lingshan. No matter how hard he tried, he started too late. He wasn't as good as Lingshan, and naturally, he couldn't catch up no matter how hard he tried.
What surprised Lin Yi was that Mengyao raised her glass as well and drank it all in one gulp!
The Miss didn't like Jianwen at all, right? Why would she drink all the red wine in the glass under his suggestion? Lin Yi glanced at Mengyao in surprise, only to see that her expression was very lonely.
Lin Yi was slightly stunned, but he immediately understood that the Eldest Miss was still thinking about her mother and had not recovered from her emotional state. At this moment, she was just drowning her sorrows in alcohol! Lin Yi had gotten over his parents' issues a long time ago, but Mengyao wasn't the same way!
She had seen her mother when she was young, and Lin Yi had never seen his parents before. It was a completely different feeling, and so Mengyao missed them and felt melancholy. She had always hidden these emotions in her heart, but Pinliang had pulled them out, and she had no way to vent them!
It was an oppressive feeling, and if she couldn't release it, she'd be in a bad mood. Drinking to drown her sorrows wasn't a bad idea.
In fact, that was exactly what Mengyao was thinking. She wouldn't drink if she were to eat with Jianwen alone. Who knew what Jianwen would do if she got drunk? But now that Lin Yi was beside her, Mengyao let down her guard.
She didn't believe that Lin Yi wouldn't care about her if she got drunk. She had this shield anyway, it'd be a waste if she didn't use it!
Jianwen saw Mengyao drink all the wine in one gulp, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by excitement! He was afraid that Mengyao wouldn't give him face and not drink. If that happened, then he wouldn't be able to drink too much. If he didn't drink enough, then he wouldn't be able to confess after drinking too much.
He and Taizao had thought of a lot of excuses to persuade Mengyao to drink, but it seemed like they were useless now. Jianwen was still troubled. What was wrong with Mengyao today? Why wasn't she playing by the rules? He'd wasted so many brain cells thinking of excuses, and now it was all wasted.
"Yao Yao, why did you drink so much?" Yushu noticed that something was wrong as well.
"Nothing, I just wanted to drink." Mengyao said faintly, not admitting the unhappiness in her heart.
"Oh, then can I drink as well?" Yushu bit her lips, looking at the red wine in her glass with greedy eyes. She didn't drink normally, because she didn't have much contact with things like this at home. Mengyao didn't let her drink normally, and she'd thought about it a couple of times, but Mengyao always rejected her. She didn't think that Mengyao would take the initiative to drink today.
"Sure, but not too much." Mengyao nodded after some hesitation.
"Oh!" Yushu picked up her glass of red wine. She didn't drink when they raised their glasses earlier, and now that no one raised their glasses, she started enjoying the wine.
Fortunately, everyone here was used to Yushu's personality, and no one said anything.
"It's sweet and sour, it looks pretty good?" Yushu took a sip and drank the whole glass in one gulp. It wasn't a top-grade red wine, but it was Jianwen's treat, and it wouldn't be cheap.
"Drink more if it tastes good." Jianwen was afraid that they wouldn't drink, so he filled his glass and raised it again. "Cheers, Shu, Yao Yao, I wish you two eternal beauty and youth …"
Yushu didn't give Jianwen any face at all. She didn't even wait for him to finish before pouring another glass. "Yao Yao, this is better than fruit juice!"
"But you can't drink too much, you'll get drunk." Mengyao said, but she really wanted to get drunk. She'd be able to forget the sadness in her heart, and when she woke up, she'd be back to her strong self.
"What's this?" Yushu asked as she took the bottle from Lin Yi after another drink.
"I don't know, but it's drinkable." Mengyao didn't drink much, so how would she know? Even if she came from a rich family, she was still a twelfth grader. Pengzhan wouldn't allow her to drink as she pleased.
