Chapter 210: Clinging to Him
Ye Chuxiao ate fruit while watching Lu Ziyi tease Zhao Congrui, smiling with great amusement.
Ye Chuxiao knew Lu Ziyi wasn’t stingy; according to the usual pattern, he would definitely tease Brother Congrui first, and then they would all drink the wine together.
Lin Houchun stretched his neck, staring at Zhao Congrui and Lu Ziyi’s maneuvering. He didn’t begrudge sharing the cost of a bottle of red wine worth two thousand five hundred to liven things up, but he also wanted to taste the red wine that cost twenty thousand a bottle.
Lu Ziyi walked over, extended the wooden box towards Ye Chuxiao, and said, “Xiaoxiao, this is for you.”
“Thank you, Senior Student Ziyi!” Ye Chuxiao very cooperatively accepted the gift Lu Ziyi said was specifically for her.
Then, Zhao Congrui’s soul seemed to stick to this bottle of red wine and floated over as well.
At this moment, Lu Ziyi’s mobile phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID; it was a client, and they needed to discuss work matters. He said, “Xiaoxiao, wait for me a moment, I’ll be right back.”
Lu Ziyi answered the telephone, said “Hello,” and walked towards the print room.
“Xiaoxiao,” Zhao Congrui took the wooden box from Ye Chuxiao’s hand, a fawning smile on his face, “Let me open the red wine for you.”
“Okay, thank you, Brother Congrui.” Ye Chuxiao smiled sweetly.
Lu Ziyi glanced over this way but said nothing, walking into the print room to make the call.
After talking for nearly twenty minutes, Lu Ziyi returned to the living room and saw Ye Chuxiao, Zhao Congrui, and Lin Houchun sitting on the sofa eating fruit.
“Ziyi!” Zhao Congrui called out obsequiously, “Come over quickly, we saved some red wine for you.”
Zhao Congrui shook the wine bottle; it was a dark bottle, and Lu Ziyi couldn’t see how much wine was inside.
“Senior Student Ziyi, come here, the red wine is delicious!” Ye Chuxiao also called out.
The girl tilted her face slightly, her smile like a blooming flower, still as beautiful and cute as ever, but there seemed to be something different. The look in her eyes towards him had inexplicably gained wisps of… charm?
At this moment, Xiaoxiao exuded a captivating allure and looked at him with anticipation, causing Lu Ziyi’s heart to pound more intensely.
Lu Ziyi followed Ye Chuxiao’s words and sat down beside her.
Ye Chuxiao picked up a high-footed cup. She moved closer to Lu Ziyi, her soft body leaning against his side, her small head resting on his shoulder, and said in a clingy, sweet voice, “Senior Student Ziyi, you should have a drink too!”
Lu Ziyi felt Ye Chuxiao’s dependence and warmth. He liked her closeness very much, even feeling joyful, but he also found it a bit strange. She had never been this intimate with him before. This posture was like that of a deeply devoted lover.
Lu Ziyi longed for him and Xiaoxiao to be lovers, but in Xiaoxiao’s current state, he felt a bit strange.
Lu Ziyi took the red wine Ye Chuxiao handed him, took a sip, and then finished the entire glass.
Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun, sitting to his side, looked at Lu Ziyi and chuckled. This wine glass was the one Xiaoxiao had just been drinking from. Xiaoxiao seemed not to have noticed, and they wouldn’t say anything.
Ziyi and Xiaoxiao would soon be fiancés; what was sharing a wine glass?
“Senior Student Ziyi, is the red wine good?”
Ye Chuxiao was still leaning on Lu Ziyi, her chin resting on his shoulder, looking at him with a charming smile.
Lu Ziyi felt the sharp pressure on his shoulder, as if it were pressing against his heart, making his strong heart pound.
“The red wine is very good,” Lu Ziyi replied to Ye Chuxiao. The usually calm man felt the tenderness and softness of the girl he loved, and his cheeks actually flushed slightly.
“Senior Student Ziyi, do you know why the red wine is so good?”
