388: Some drunken sweet talk
"Sister Hongmei is so straightforward! She truly lives up to being a heroine! I admire her! Your younger brother will also drink three cups with you!" Liu Xiaolin was infected by Xiao Hongmei's straightforwardness, and his drinking spirit soared, so he drank three cups with her.
Seeing this, Xiao Hongmei felt even more favorably towards Liu Xiaolin: "Xiao Lin younger brother, you are too straightforward."
"You two, sister and younger brother, are drinking, and no one is paying attention to me, is that right?" Cui Zhenzhong said, pretending to be displeased, "Have you forgotten that I'm still sitting here?"
"Minister Cui, please don't be angry, I'll drink three cups with you right now!" Xiao Hongmei saw that he was actively challenging, so she drank!
Cui Zhenzhong saw that Xiao Hongmei was actually serious, and he immediately chickened out: "Forget it, forget it, I don't have your drinking capacity! One cup is enough for me, okay?"
"Look at you, you were the one who wanted to drink, and now you're the one dodging the drink. That's not very generous, it doesn't match your tall and handsome face," Xiao Hongmei said with a smile.
"If you say it doesn't match, then it doesn't match. Isn't it enough that I admit defeat?" Cui Zhenzhong simply surrendered directly.
"No, it's too late to surrender now, you have to be penalized two cups," Xiao Hongmei said relentlessly.
"I really can't drink that much, I'll drink one cup, is that okay?" Cui Zhenzhong quickly said.
"Minister Cui can't drink, so Sister Hongmei, please let him off the hook," Liu Xiaolin quickly interceded.
"Alright, for Xiao Lin younger brother's sake, I'll drink three cups and you drink one, is that okay?" Xiao Hongmei said with a smile, looking at Cui Zhenzhong.
"Thank you for your generosity, Hongmei!" Cui Zhenzhong smiled and drained his glass: "You drink one too, don't drink too much, eat more dishes. I love all these dishes today, they're delicious. Especially the Salt-Baked Three Delicacies, it's too delicious, full of savory freshness."
After Xiao Hongmei finished a glass of wine, she picked up a razor clam from the Four Treasures of Wealth and placed it on Cui Zhenzhong's plate: "This is also delicious, try it all."
Liu Xiaolin had already found the evidence, so the rest of the evening was for eating and drinking. Especially seeing such a caring Xiao Hongmei, he felt that today's food and wine were exceptionally fragrant.
"Waiter, isn't there still a soup that hasn't been served?" Xiao Hongmei looked at the dishes on the table, stood up, walked outside, and shouted down the corridor.
"Yes, the Tomato Clam Seafood Soup will be ready soon, please wait a moment," the waiter quickly came over and said.
"Hmm, tell the kitchen to hurry up, we're almost done eating and drinking," Xiao Hongmei instructed.
When she returned to her seat and drank two more cups with Liu Xiaolin, the waiter brought the soup to the table: "Hello, all your ordered dishes and soup are here. Would you like to order any staple food?"
"Bring one serving of Mackerel Dumplings, that's enough," Xiao Hongmei considered that there were too many dishes, so one serving of dumplings to taste would suffice.
"Tomorrow I will still go to Haizhe Technology, if Sister Hongmei sees me, remember to pretend not to know me," Liu Xiaolin reminded her.
"Got it, I'm not that silly," Xiao Hongmei replied with a smile while busy serving a bowl of seafood soup to Cui Zhenzhong and Liu Xiaolin.
Liu Xiaolin took the seafood soup: "It's truly delicious and tasty. From now on, whenever I come to Yuhai City for seafood, I must bring Sister Hongmei to help me order."
"Why don't you take your Sister Hongmei to explore the world? She knows everything, she's a good helper in both work and life," Cui Zhenzhong could tell that Xiao Hongmei was interested in Liu Xiaolin and intentionally tried to set them up.
Liu Xiaolin looked at Xiao Hongmei, whose small face was flushed, and his heart started to pound again, but he still told himself: "You have a girlfriend, you can't mess around!"
"Minister Cui is joking, haha. Sister Hongmei has a home and a job in Yuhai City, it's not appropriate for her to run around the world with me," Liu Xiaolin said with a laugh.
"What if I'm willing to run around the world with you?" Xiao Hongmei blurted out these words, fueled by the alcohol!
After hearing this, Liu Xiaolin was both happy and scared! He was happy that Xiao Hongmei was actually willing to disregard her family and run around the world with him, but he was afraid that he couldn't be responsible for her and might hurt her! Should he tell her about Hong Tongtong?
"Don't say it for now, I haven't gotten the evidence in her hand yet. What if she gets angry and doesn't give it to me, and destroys the evidence, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?" Liu Xiaolin thought it over and over again and decided to temporarily conceal it.
"Alright then, I'll take you to travel the world!" When Liu Xiaolin thought of traveling the world with Xiao Hongmei, he suddenly felt incredibly happy, and his thoughts instantly opened up: "Not only travel the world, but I can also take you on a Xingji Travel Group, an underwater tour group. We can run on the moon, and swim in the deep sea. Just thinking about it is beautiful."
Xiao Hongmei's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Can we really? Xingji Travel Group and the underwater tour group must be very expensive, right? I don't have that much money."
"You don't need to spend money, I'll take you and it won't cost anything," Liu Xiaolin said generously. He had drunk a bit too much at this point, and when he was drunk, he just wanted to make Xiao Hongmei happy, so many words came out without any thought. www.x33xs.com
"Let's forget about it, being able to travel around Longguo is already amazing. I really don't dare to imagine going to heaven and deep into the sea, and I'm a little scared," Xiao Hongmei said, patting her chest: "What if we can't get back down from the moon? I'd be scared to death."
"What are you afraid of? I'll be by your side, whether it's on the moon or at the bottom of the sea, I'll be there with you." Liu Xiaolin's brain was already numbed by the alcohol, and he had no idea what he was saying.
These words made Xiao Hongmei's heart flutter, and she took them as a signal that Liu Xiaolin was pursuing her.
Liu Xiaolin was handsome and capable, so finding such an ideal husband would naturally be a dream come true.
So she didn't reject Liu Xiaolin's sweet words at all, and she was overjoyed, with smiles overflowing from her eyebrows and eyes.
Cui Zhenzhong heard Liu Xiaolin's undisguised sweet words and thought very highly of the two: "Alright, I don't even need to eat dumplings, I'm full just from eating dog food."
As soon as he mentioned dumplings, the waiter brought in a plate of dumplings: "One serving of Mackerel Dumplings, now all the dishes and staple food are served. If you need anything else, just call me."
"Dog food won't fill you up, let's eat dumplings instead," Xiao Hongmei said with a smile, picking up the plate and dividing the dumplings between Cui Zhenzhong and Liu Xiaolin: "We only ordered one serving of dumplings, let's share it among the three of us."
"There's also a little bit of wine left, let's share that too," Liu Xiaolin said dazedly, looking at the small amount of yingchun wine left in the bottle.
"Okay, I'll pour the wine," Xiao Hongmei, though she had drunk the most, was the clearest-headed.
She evenly divided the last bit of wine in the bottle into three glasses: "That's all there is. We'll finish this wine and then start eating dumplings."
