Chapter 157 Want to Eat Fish and Make a Wish
As the youngest girl, the task of ordering food naturally fell on Jiang Xiyue.
Looking at the menu in front of her, the girl asked Linzhou in a low voice.
"Zhou Zhou, I want to eat fish. Is pickled fish okay?"
" It's up to you. There are twelve of us, so just serve thirteen dishes." Lin Zhou answered softly, picking up the cup. "It's been a long time since we last met. Let's go first."
………
Looking through the menu, Jiang Xiyue ordered thirteen dishes, including both meat and vegetables. She sat there quietly, drinking the heated almond milk.
Although it was okay for her to have cold drinks, Zhou Zhou refused to let her have them.
The dishes haven't been served yet, but a bottle of white wine has already been finished. Everyone's face is a little red. Jiang Xiyue leaned over to Linzhou's ear and whispered, "Zhou Zhou, drink slowly, don't force others to drink. If any of the brothers gets sick from drinking, it will hurt the harmony."
"Okay, I know my limits." Linzhou nodded seriously.
Several single men nearby immediately noticed the situation and had jealous expressions on their faces.
The most outrageous thing was that a man whose ancestral home was in Shanxi Province took a sip from the vinegar pot and then started to complain, "Comrade Lin, please take care of the feelings of our brothers."
Linzhou naturally ignored such words and reached out to touch Jiang Xiyue's little head.
"You guys are the ones. Yueyue is a girl from another place. What's wrong with taking care of her?"
"No problem, but it's okay to adapt to the local customs. Can my sister-in-law drink?" The eldest brother who ran the video game arcade took a clean glass, filled it up and placed it next to Jiang Xiyue.
Looking at the wine glass handed to her, Jiang Xiyue turned her gaze to Linzhou and blinked gently.
At this time, Linzhou knew what the little girl wanted to do, so he could only nod and agree. It was just a small drink, so it shouldn't be a problem.
As for the issue of driving later, you don’t have to think about it at all. Just leave the car here and walk home.
Seeing that Linzhou agreed, Jiang Xiyue happily picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then fanned herself because it was so spicy...
The liquors the little girl had drunk were all low-alcohol, sauce-flavored and very mellow.
But in order to cater to everyone's taste, Linzhou chose a high-proof light-fragrance type today. The characteristic of this kind of wine is its transparency. Whether it is fragrant or spicy, it gives a very refreshing feeling.
Next, there were greetings between brothers who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Everyone talked about daily life, national affairs, and then began to reminisce the past.
Boys can talk about a wide range of things at the dinner table, from stepping on a cockroach to death today to whether humans can realize the Wandering Earth plan.
The little girl listened patiently, and kept in mind everything that everyone had said about Linzhou's habits.
This is what it means to like someone. You will subconsciously understand everything about the other person and try to accept them...
But brothers, never said anything bad about Linzhou from beginning to end. The worst thing they said was that Linzhou was as cunning as a monkey. For Jiang Xiyue, this was considered an advantage.
As Jiang Xiyue drank with everyone, she gradually got used to the taste.
When it was over, she didn't know how much she had drunk, but she was very happy. Today was an experience she had never had before.
As they drank and chatted, the night quickly became late. Linzhou secretly paid the bill under the pretext of going to the bathroom, otherwise, the same scene would surely happen again later...
Everyone was scrambling to pay the bill. It wasn't worth losing a piece of clothing for several hundred dollars. When everyone saw that it was almost time, they got up and walked out of the store.
The next activity is to go to KTV to sing.
Standing at the door of the hotel, the girl took Linzhou's arm and answered everyone very seriously.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm taking Zhou Zhou back home. There's curfew at home, and I'll get scolded ..."
"No, I have already booked a hotel. You said you wanted to go home." The oldest brother yelled at the top of his voice.
Lin Zhou, who was originally in a daze, narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing the noise, and his voice was much higher than usual, "Fuck you, we are still children, just have a meal, you know my old man, bring your girlfriend home, and then stay in a hotel, legs up for me."
"Okay, then let's go sing. Drive slowly and call me when you get home." The eldest brother waved his hand and took his brothers to the KTV not far away.
After watching everyone leave, Linzhou wrapped his clothes a little tighter and looked at Jiang Xiyue with a dazed look.
Liquor, on the table, feels invincible, but when it gets out in the breeze, it immediately starts to get in your head...
Being stared at like this, Jiang Xiyue's already rosy face became even redder.
"Zhou Zhou, why are you looking at me?"
"like."
After saying two brief words, Linzhou took Jiang Xiyue's hand and walked towards home. He was very familiar with this road. There was a small square in front with chairs for resting.
Jiang Xiyue, who was being led, could clearly feel Linzhou's coercive and unreasonable attitude.
So she followed Linzhou quietly, saying nothing and doing nothing.
After walking about a thousand meters, the two arrived at a small square near their home. Linzhou took Jiang Xiyue in, sat on the wooden bench, and then held Jiang Xiyue on his lap.
"Are you cold? If not, sit outside with me for a while. I'll get rid of the alcohol before I go back."
"Hmm..." Jiang Xiyue, who was hugged around the waist, just nodded slightly and bit her lower lip. She knew why Linzhou let her sit on his lap.
Although it is summer, the public benches are still somewhat cool at night.
Jiang Xiyue, who was being held in her arms, could clearly feel the care from Linzhou. It was that kind of concern for details that touched her the most.
Moreover, this feeling of semi-command gave her a very novel experience.
She had only drunk a small glass of white wine, so she was naturally very sober, but she just couldn't drive.
Sitting on Linzhou's lap, the girl looked up at the sky. In the sky of the small town in the northeast, she could clearly see many stars. She liked stars and was often curious about whether there was a real magical world above the shining stars.
But since I learned that most of those stars are stars, I feel like I have lost my dream.
No matter what kind of creature it is, it cannot withstand the temperature on a star, let alone survive on it.
"Zhou Zhou, have you ever made a wish upon a star?"
"Not yet, but I can make a wish now." Linzhou reached out and put the little girl down, and their eyes met.
Then, Linzhou clasped his hands together devoutly.
"Almighty Jiang Xiyue Xingxing, I hope my Yueyue will be healthy, happy every day, and always be with me."
The girl's cheeks flushed a little, but she still answered seriously.
"I won't leave you, and I'm not a star..."
Before she could finish her words, the girl's mouth was blocked by a finger. Linzhou stood up and spoke unintentionally.
"It's time to go home. You are a star that fell from the sky and hit me. No matter what, you have to compensate me..."
After a few seconds, the girl came closer.
After feeling the warmth on his lips, Linzhou subconsciously wanted to hug him, but Jiang Xiyue had already stepped back a few steps, with her hands behind her back, and spoke with her head tilted.
"I compensated you, isn't that enough?"
