019. Crying and Laughing
The fifth bottle of wine came up, and this was the most crucial one.
If Xie Xiaojiang can stay awake after drinking this bottle, he will have a 99% chance of dealing with Wang Daqi.
But don't underestimate this bottle of wine. After having already drunk four kilograms of liquor, no one knows which sip of wine will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
This time, Wei Yuhuan personally poured the wine for Xie Xiaojiang. He specifically asked the waiter for a small cup so that Xie Xiaojiang could drink from it.
Everyone stared at him nervously. Every time Xie Xiaojiang drank a small cup, they swallowed their saliva, fearing that he would turn pale and faint in the next second. Even the waiter stood by holding his breath, ready to use his mobile phone to call the police or an ambulance at any time.
Xie Xiaojiang drank very quietly, without saying a word. Everyone only saw that his face was ruddy, and his eyes became brighter as he drank. He didn't look like a man who was about to get drunk. People who didn't know him would have thought that he had just drunk plain water!
After finishing the whole bottle of wine, Xie Xiaojiang was still sitting there. Wei Yuhuan asked him how he was doing. Xie Xiaojiang slowly turned his head, looked at him steadily, and smiled: "I told you I can drink now."
Wei Yuhuan looked at those eyes as bright as stars and his heart skipped a beat for a moment.
Few people do not admire those who have special skills. Even though Xie Xiaojiang is of ordinary status, today he was able to open the eyes of this group of people and make them bow down to him with his drinking ability.
Shao Yongyang asked Xie Xiaojiang if he wanted another bottle, and Xie Xiaojiang nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing that he drank so much and still looked no different from an ordinary person, everyone thought he was gifted and no longer had the fear they had at the beginning, and they all cheered on the sidelines.
Wei Yuhuan stared at Xie Xiaojiang's face, recalling the unprecedented heartbeat just now. When he came to his senses, Xie Xiaojiang had almost finished his sixth bottle of wine.
Maybe it was because he drank too quickly, but Xie Xiaojiang suddenly choked.
Wei Yuhuan's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He patted his back gently, and gave Xie Xiaojiang the honey water he had prepared early in the morning, saying with a stern face, "That's enough. Don't drink anymore."
Xie Xiaojiang's whole face was red, not the kind of red caused by congestion, but a light crimson. His eyes looked like they had been dipped in water, moist and extremely attractive.
After Wei Yuhuan said this, no one dared to make a fuss anymore and they all advised Xie Xiaojiang to eat something to slow down the effects of the alcohol.
Xie Xiaojiang's stomach was full from the liquor. Although he didn't look drunk, he felt so listless that he couldn't eat anything.
Wei Yuhuan looked distressed, so he peeled a king crab leg for him himself, piled the snow-white and tender crab meat on a spoon, and handed it to his mouth to feed him.
Xie Xiaojiang instinctively opened his mouth and ate, licking his lips lazily, as if he didn't want to think about anything.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, especially Shao Yongyang. In his impression, it was always the handsome guys who were eager to show their affection to Wei Yuhuan. Even those who could have a relationship with Wei Yuhuan were served by his lovers. When had he ever seen the second young master of the Wei family feed someone personally
Looking at Wei Yuhuan's earnest attitude just now, it was as if he had switched roles with his former lover.
… This Xie Xiaojiang is really extraordinary!
It was almost nine o'clock and everyone had almost finished eating, so it was time to leave the party and go home.
After repeatedly confirming that Xie Xiaojiang was fine, Wei Yuhuan's doctor friend only left him a few hangover pills and told him to drink more water when his stomach felt better.
The hotel was not far from Chunjiang Huajing Garden, and Xie Xiaojiang took the initiative to suggest taking a walk back, and Wei Yuhuan naturally agreed. It was also the first time he had seen a living person who could stand and talk properly after drinking so much. Now he simply held Xie Xiaojiang in his hands like a rare animal, and obeyed the other party's requests.
It was already February, and the Spring Festival was approaching. The temperature in S City dropped below zero, and the dampness and cold penetrated into the bones.
Xie Xiaojiang drank so much that his whole body was hot. When he left the hotel, he not only didn't feel cold, but also opened his collar and breathed in the damp and cold air.
Wei Yuhuan reminded: "Pull up your collar, be careful not to catch a cold."
Xie Xiaojiang shook his head: "I'm not cold, drinking makes me warm."
Wei Yuhuan sighed helplessly, and the two walked slowly back along the Fengjiang Bridge. As they walked, Xie Xiaojiang suddenly shook his head, and Wei Yuhuan asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Xiaojiang moved his lips, said nothing, took two more steps, and suddenly started running ahead, running faster and faster.
Wei Yuhuan's expression changed, and he chased after him, calling his name: "Xie Xiaojiang!"
Xie Xiaojiang ran for a while before stopping, panting and supporting his knees with his back bent. Wei Yuhuan caught up with him from behind and asked him what was wrong. Xie Xiaojiang pulled at his collar and said after a long while, "I feel uncomfortable."
Wei Yuhuan asked nervously, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xie Xiaojiang bit his tongue and said incoherently, "There's an evil fire running through my body."
Wei Yuhuan's heart skipped a beat. Is this guy just drunk? "I'll take you to the hospital." He grabbed Xie Xiaojiang's arm, but was thrown away.
Xie Xiaojiang said stubbornly: "I'm fine."
Wei Yuhuan said seriously: "Don't joke with me! Do you know how much you drank just now?"
Xie Xiaojiang was very stubborn: "I know, but I'm not drunk!"
"Drunk people always say they are not drunk. Your current condition is not normal. You should go to the hospital." Wei Yuhuan grabbed his hand again and did not allow him to object. He raised his other hand to hail a taxi.
Xie Xiaojiang hugged Wei Yuhuan's arm and dragged him to the bridge: "Brother Yu, I'm really fine, I won't go to the hospital!"
Wei Yuhuan was furious. He didn't know what Xie Xiaojiang was insisting on. Even if he was fine, going to the hospital for a blood test and some examination would make people feel relieved. This little guy really didn't know how worried he was about him, right
"I'm not drunk, I just feel hot." Xie Xiaojiang argued stubbornly.
Wei Yuhuan wanted to just carry the man on his shoulders, but he didn't expect that Xie Xiaojiang, who was drunk, was as strong as a bull. Not only was Wei Yuhuan unable to shake him, but he was dragged straight to the fence by the river.
Seeing Wei Yuhuan's face becoming increasingly ugly, Xie Xiaojiang's eyes turned red with anxiety. His pair of eyes sparkling under the street light stared at Wei Yuhuan eagerly, his slightly crooked lips revealing a hint of stubbornness.
Wei Yuhuan lost his temper after being stared at by him. He stopped confronting Xie Xiaojiang head-on and instead reached out to rub his head. He frowned and asked sincerely, "Besides the heat, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Xie Xiaojiang blinked and looked at Wei Yuhuan. After a long time, he said stupidly, "Brother Yu, why are you so nice to me?" As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xiaojiang's eyes were like a faucet that had been opened, and two lines of tears flowed out!
Wei Yuhuan was stunned, as if someone had pressed his acupoints, and all his attention was taken away by Xie Xiaojiang.
Xie Xiaojiang broke down completely after crying, tears streaming down his face, and he mumbled as he cried, “You bought me clothes, gave me a house to live in, took me to nice places, and ate delicious food… Woo woo… You said that if I drank for you, we’d be even, and I was thinking, there’s no such good thing in the world… I thought you were lying to me at first, just like my fellow villager, who was nice to me at first, but it was all to deceive me… But when we were drinking just now, those people told me to drink, but you were so nervous about me, worried that I’d get drunk… Brother Yu, the only way I can make it up to you is to drink. I can’t do anything but drink. Even if someone dies today, I, Xie Xiaojiang, will accept it. I’m willing, but you still care about me so much… Woo woo woo…”
Wei Yuhuan stood by and listened. Looking at Xie Xiaojiang who was crying aggrievedly but speaking passionately, his heart seemed to have rolled in a frying pan and then soaked in ice water, feeling both hot and cold.
What should I do? I like him so much. This kid is so cute... It's killing me!
Xie Xiaojiang wiped his tears vigorously, not wanting to look so embarrassed in front of Wei Yuhuan. But he didn't know if it was because of the alcohol, his physiological functions were out of control to a large extent. The more he wiped his tears, the more he cried, and even his nose started to run. He accidentally blew a snot bubble.
Xie Xiaojiang was stunned and stared at Wei Yuhuan. Wei Yuhuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, which made Xie Xiaojiang laugh foolishly as well.
He was about to wipe his nose with his sleeve, but Wei Yuhuan blocked him.
Wei Yuhuan didn't mind his dirtiness, he just reached out and pinched his nose, looked at his crying little face like a cat, and whispered: "Crying and laughing at the same time, how stupid."
—Silly boy, I am nice to you for a purpose.
The doting actions and gentle tone of voice wove together a thick layer of ambiguity that permeated between the two of them.
This skill of coaxing people seemed to be innate to Wei Yuhuan. No lover had ever made him like this. His heart almost melted into a pool of water.
But facing such a Xie Xiaojiang, Wei Yuhuan for the first time could not muster up the slightest dirty desire. He did this just to see the other person laugh again and look at him with that admiring and grateful gaze, as if this would be enough to make everything perfect.
He even thought that he should follow his brother's example and carry a handkerchief with him at all times, so that the next time Xie Xiaojiang cried, he would be able to take out the handkerchief in time.
Xie Xiaojiang cried for a while, venting some of the heat running through his body. He became much more awake than before, but a feeling of fatigue also came over him.
Seeing that he was not seriously injured, Wei Yuhuan did not insist on taking him to the hospital. However, when he saw that Xie Xiaojiang was walking a little unsteadily, he couldn't help but hold his hand.
Xie Xiaojiang did not break free, and subconsciously trusted Wei Yuhuan wholeheartedly.
The two walked side by side towards home, and Wei Yuhuan suddenly asked: "What's the matter with your fellow villager lying to you?"
Xie Xiaojiang's brain was paralyzed by alcohol and was somewhat sluggish. He usually kept his tragic history hidden and was too embarrassed to tell it to Wei Yuhuan bit by bit, like talking about old things. When he talked about how he had lost all his money and had nowhere to go, his eyes became tearful again.
Wei Yuhuan felt distressed after hearing this. It turned out that Xie Xiaojiang bumped into him for this reason...
