Chapter 34: Suddenly I felt something, but it was in vain
It was almost evening after they went to pay tribute to Ding Wu's father. Seeing that Lin Xianyu had been running around with them for a whole day, Wang Jingzhe was surprised at her persistence but also felt a little bit sorry for her. This woman was too resilient. She drove the two of them around without a single complaint. Her level of obedience was not much different from that of a maid.
"If she is properly trained, she will become a good wife and mother. It's a pity that this woman's fate is not compatible with mine..."
"Let me treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude," Wang Jingzhe said seriously.
"Okay, I don't mind what I eat." Ding Wu seemed to have not yet come out of the sadness of commemorating his father. He just said that it didn't matter what he ate, as long as he could drink.
So the three of them just found a roadside restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and ordered two bottles of Niulanshan. After the dishes came, Lin Xianyu had no scruples at all like a lady from a wealthy family, and accepted any meal in such a small restaurant. She picked up a piece of boiled fish fillet with chopsticks, fanned it with her little hands, and said with a grin that it was delicious.
"Ding" Wang Jingzhe and Ding Wu clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. Ding Wu wiped his mouth for a long time before he recovered from the effects of the alcohol. He exhaled a long breath and said, "It's so enjoyable. I haven't drunk in several years. This first sip of wine has relaxed my pores. It feels good!"
"You'll have a chance to drink later, so take your time." Wang Jingzhe picked up the wine and filled Ding Wu's glass again: "When are you going home to visit?"
"No hurry, I called my mom before." Ding Wu raised his glass and drank another one with him, then continued to drink. He burped and hugged Wang Jingzhe's shoulders, smiling and said, "Why do I have a feeling that you are guarding me from 360 degrees, just like in prison, the guards' eyes are like searchlights, they lock me tightly as soon as I show up. Brother, are you worried that I will do something that is not allowed by law?"
Wang Jingzhe stared into his eyes asked, "Don't you think so? Xiaowu, I know you too well. Your father's death and your imprisonment will make you not let go of the landlord a few years ago easily. Tell me, are you going to cause trouble for him?"
“Haha, aren’t you good at fortune-telling? Why don’t you try it?” Wang Jingzhe took his arm away and said sternly, “I don’t even need to calculate, I can see it all… There are obviously a hundred ways to deal with the opponent, but you just choose the stupidest and dumbest one.”
Lin Xianyu ate while watching the two men talking. After following them for a whole day, she had almost figured out what was going on. Ding Wu was imprisoned because of a case of excessive self-defense, and behind this case was the death of his father. Wang Jingzhe was worried that Ding Wu would retaliate against the people involved in the case after he was released from prison, and it was even possible that he would take shortcuts, such as tit-for-tat.
It was as if there was a tug-of-war going on between the two men, one was obstructing in every possible way, the other was making excuses in every possible way. It seemed as if neither of them could convince the other, and they were engaged in a futile verbal battle.
They drank until after ten o'clock in the evening. After finishing two bottles of Niulanshan, they also had four bottles of beer, which were also empty. Wang Jingzhe and Ding Wu were both a little drunk.
"I'm going to the toilet to defecate. I drank too much today..." Ding Wu stood up shakily and walked to the bathroom.
"Pop." Wang Jingzhe lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of thick smoke, and whispered to Lin Xianyu: "What do you think of my buddy?"
Lin Xianyu blinked her confused eyes and asked, "What's going on?"
"How's he like? He looks pretty energetic, isn't he? Do you have any heart-pounding feelings? Let me tell you, Ding Wu said in the shower that he has feelings for you. How about you two be a couple?"
Lin Xianyu covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Not really? I just want you to be a consultant for our family. Do you want to lure someone else? Look at how much you drank. You can't even stretch your tongue straight when you speak."
"Let's make a deal. If you can get him, I'll be your consultant for free. How about that?"
Lin Xianyu gritted her teeth and said, "I sell my art, not my body, so don't even think about seducing me!"
"Haha, I was just talking casually, don't take it seriously..."
In the bathroom, Ding Wu held the wall with one hand, then stretched out two fingers and pressed his throat hard.
"vomit!"
"Crash"
A foul substance mixed with alcohol spurted out of his mouth, and the toilet was immediately filled with the pungent smell of alcohol.
"Ugh, ugh!"
After vomiting several times, Ding Wu used his fingers to spit out all the alcohol in his stomach. After vomiting, his eyes suddenly became much clearer. After wiping his mouth, he let out a long breath and felt much better immediately.
He drank the wine too quickly and it had not been fully absorbed by his body. At least half of it was vomited out by Ding Wu.
Back in the restaurant, Ding Wu's eyes became blurry again. He staggered back to his seat. He glanced at the empty bottle and turned back to shout, "Boss, another dozen beers!"
Wang Jingzhe frowned and asked, "Still drinking? That's enough. You can't drink it all in one day. If you can't drink it all, just drink it tomorrow. You can't make up for all the alcohol you didn't drink in the past few years in one night, right?"
"I'm happy. We agreed to have a welcoming party. You have to follow my lead, right? Drink, drink. After two more bottles, we can go back to sleep," Ding Wu urged.
Before long, the two of them finished the dozen beers. When they finished the last glass of beer, Wang Jingzhe was completely drunk. He was shaking and looked like he was about to fall. Before he fell, he saw that the blood line between Ding Wu's eyebrows seemed to suddenly become clearer and thicker, as thick as his little finger.
"Listen, don't worry about me tonight. Please keep an eye on him for me. Don't, don't let him disappear." After Wang Jingzhe said this in Lin Xianyu's ear, he fell down drowsily.
Lin Xianyu hummed and glanced at Ding Wu who was also about to lie on the table. She felt a little worried for a moment. How should she deal with these two drunk men?
Later, Lin Xianyu spent two hundred yuan and asked the waiter and the owner of the pub to help Ding Wu and Wang Jingzhe up. They then found a nearby hotel to stay in and she put them in the same room.
"Let me watch him? What are you thinking? I can still watch him while sleeping in the same bed with him." After Lin Xianyu sent Ding Wu and Wang Jingzhe back to their room, she booked a room next to them.
