Chapter 208: Xiaoxiao’s First Time, Take It Easy
Zhao Congrui said with good-natured laughter, “It’s better to take photos manually. What precious souvenirs! It was me and Hou Chun who took them for Ziyi and Xiaoxiao.”
Xiaoxiao is here. These two are shamelessly persistent, and Lu Ziyi can’t get angry. He warned, “After I propose, you two disappear!”
“Disappear, disappear quickly! We won’t ruin Brother’s good deed!” Zhao Congrui promised earnestly.
The three grown men quickly prepared a table full of dishes and invited Ye Chuxiao to have dinner.
This is truly a moment of great significance. A certain man is about to officially bid farewell to being single. As his brothers, they generously brought out a bottle of red wine.
“We made so many seafood dishes tonight. Shall we pair it with red wine?” Zhao Congrui said, already opening the red wine with a corkscrew.
Lin Houchun brought over four high-footed cups from the cabinet shelf in the kitchen.
Zhao Congrui poured the red wine into each cup. He raised an eyebrow at Lu Ziyi and said, “This bottle costs two thousand five hundred yuan!” He was signaling to his big boss, showing how good they were to him. And he still wouldn’t let them stay to witness his proposal?
Lu Ziyi: “Tch!” I bought a bottle for twenty thousand, and I didn’t say anything.
Lin Houchun placed a high-footed cup filled with wine next to Ye Chuxiao. Ye Chuxiao looked at it with some curiosity. When she was in France, she was not yet eighteen years old and had never drunk alcohol. However, she often saw her Father and Mother drinking red wine.
Seeing Ye Chuxiao’s expression, Lu Ziyi asked, “Xiaoxiao, have you never drunk red wine before?”
“No,” Ye Chuxiao withdrew her gaze from the wine glass. So, should she drink red wine now or not?
Zhao Congrui said nonchalantly, “Then Xiaoxiao should have a little today. This red wine cost me and Hou Chun quite a bit, so Xiaoxiao must try it. It’s fine, the alcohol content is low, just like grape juice.”
“Then I’ll have a little,” Ye Chuxiao said with great interest.
In Ye Chuxiao’s impression, red wine was a beautiful thing. Because when her Father and Mother drank red wine, onlookers felt the deep love between them.
Now she was nineteen years old, an adult, and should be able to drink, right? Besides, Senior Student Ziyi, Brother Congrui, and Brother Hou Chun were also drinking, so she might as well have a little too.
Ye Chuxiao was eager to try. Lu Ziyi said, “Xiaoxiao, drink slowly, just a little. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t drink anymore!”
“What could be uncomfortable?” Zhao Congrui interjected, “It’s just grape juice.”
Sob, it cost two thousand five hundred yuan. Split between him and Lin Houchun, it was one thousand two hundred and fifty yuan, a significant sum for them.
But to congratulate their two good friends on no longer being single, they were willing to make this sacrifice. However, they definitely had to let the female protagonist drink to her heart’s content. Wouldn’t that also liven things up for the male protagonist? Anyway, it was his night to be happy. He would soon have a fiancée, and they could kiss and hug and lift her high. So, let’s get even more excited!
Zhao Congrui cast a resentful glance at Lu Ziyi, who ignored him.
The four good friends dined happily. Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun were exceptionally excited. This was the desolation of single dogs; ordinary people wouldn’t understand.
When they got excited, they would find someone to toast. Lu Ziyi had a high alcohol tolerance; ten bottles of red wine at this alcohol content wouldn’t even faze him. Zhao Congrui felt that finding him to drink with was a waste, so he found Ye Chuxiao to drink with.
It was Ye Chuxiao’s first time drinking red wine, and she didn’t estimate her tolerance. However, she quite liked the taste of red wine. The mellow aroma enveloped her taste buds, making her very excited.
