The goblets clinked together, and the clear sound of crystals clashing with each other stirred up the red wine in the glass.
Everyone blessed Ye Qiao together, and then drank from their glasses.
Ning Xiaofei brought the cup to her lips and smelled the alcohol coming towards her face. She felt a surge in her chest and a sour feeling in her throat.
Raising her hands to hold her chest, she took a deep breath to suppress the discomfort.
Noticing her little movements, Mu Tianye looked over with concern.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay!" Ning Xiaofei raised her lips and smiled back at him, then put down the wine glass in her hand, "Everyone is eating, you're welcome."
She had done it two or three times in the past two mornings, nothing special. She just retched inexplicably. Sometimes she couldn't vomit anything out, and sometimes she vomited a little bit of sour water.
Thinking it was stomach discomfort caused by the hot weather, Ning Xiaofei didn't care.
Seeing her laughing as usual, Mu Tianye didn't pay much attention.
Everyone continued to eat and drink, and Ye Qiao picked up the cup.
"I'd like to drink this cup to everyone. Don't say too many pretentious words. It's all in the wine!" She raised the cup to everyone, raised her hand and brought the cup to her mouth, then stopped and looked sideways at Ji Mo, "Ji Mo." Teacher, please tell me first, don’t drink. If I drink too much, you will be responsible for carrying me home!”
Jimo smiled and nodded, "No problem!"
"I said, Mr. Qiao, there are so many people, and you have to ask Teacher Ji to send them away. I think it's a drunkard's intention to stay out of the bar?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Apart from Xiaofei and Teacher Ji, you don't know my family!" Ye Qiao glared at Michael, then turned to Ji Mo, "Besides, Teacher Ji is so handsome, I'm a little bit surprised. Isn’t it normal to think so?”
Everyone laughed, and Ji Mo smiled and shook his head.
Ye Qiao has always been outspoken and bold. Everyone just thought she was joking and naturally didn't care.
Lifting the glass, Ye Qiao brought the wine glass to his lips and drank it all in one gulp.
"good!"
Michael and the others cheered, and Mrs. Liu helped her pour another glass of wine. Ye Qiao turned to Ji Mo holding the wine glass, "Teacher Ji, I want to toast you with this glass!"
Ji Mo also stood up and took the wine glass.
"You're not driving anymore, you don't need to drink."
"It's okay, I'll take a taxi to take you there." Jimo said with a smile.
Everyone laughed again.
Ye Qiao solemnly held up the wine glass and said, "Thank you for helping me settle this glass. I, Ye Qiao, will do my best to return it to you in the future!"
"There's no need to be a cow or a horse." Ji Mo raised the cup and clinked it with her, "Just be yourself!"
"Dry!"
Ye Qiao touched his glass with a smile, and raised his hand to drink another glass. Ji Mo did not hesitate, and also raised his hand to drink up the wine in the glass.
"oh oh-"
Ning Xiaofei took the lead in making noise, and Michael and An Qi also laughed and laughed with her. Mu Tianye did not join in the games of these "children", he just sat aside, took the tools handed over by Mrs. Liu, and helped her peel the crabs. legs, squeeze out the tender crab meat and put it on her plate.
Ye Qiao and Ji Mo took their seats again, and Mrs. Liu distributed the crabs to everyone's plates.
While everyone was eating and chatting, Ye Qiao talked about her past affairs with Ning Xiaofei. The two girls "revealed each other's secrets" and told interesting stories from their school days. Even Mu Tianye was made to laugh several times.
This meal was extremely harmonious and enjoyable.
It's just that Ning Xiaofei doesn't have a high appetite and doesn't eat much. She doesn't even take a few bites of the fruit cake she always loves.
After the meal, everyone gathered around the coffee table to chat and play cards, and they didn't leave until midnight.
