Chapter 264 is absolutely deadly
Bai Lu wanted to pick up the glass to smell it, but as soon as she reached out, a large, bony hand took the glass away.
In the blink of an eye, it became an empty cup and returned to her.
Xiao Cheng pursed his lips, swallowed the last drop of wine, and slightly raised his cold eyes to glance indifferently at Zhang San.
His gaze shifted to Li Si, who was standing to the side, holding a glass of juice: "Pour some juice for your sister-in-law."
Everyone knows that my sister-in-law doesn't drink alcohol.
Zhang San poured the wine, and Xiao Cheng's tone was icy cold, clearly angry. No one at the table dared to utter a sound.
Sitting next to Bai Lu, Xiao Wei also kept his head down, silently gnawing on a pig's trotter, trying to minimize his presence.
After being "rewarded" with a kick by Luo Shiliu, Li Si instantly snapped back to his senses, quickly opened the glass bottle cap, and poured juice for Bai Lu.
"Zhang San didn't know his sister-in-law doesn't drink. Sister-in-law, you're very generous, don't take it to heart. Juice can celebrate a birthday just as well as alcohol. Sister-in-law, drink juice, drink juice..."
Xiao Cheng had already spoken, and if Bai Lu were to say that it wouldn't hurt to have a cup, she would be slapping Xiao Cheng in the face.
The best thing to do is to say nothing, pick up your juice, and smile as you celebrate Zhang San's birthday with everyone.
The dull atmosphere was revived by a glass of juice on White Dew, a smile and a word of congratulations, as winter turned to summer.
The atmosphere returned to harmony, and amidst laughter and conversation at the table, one glass of wine after another was drunk.
Whether it was the enchanting night or the breathtaking scenery on the river, the fruit wine tasted intoxicating.
Although the group of young men weren't completely drunk, they became more talkative, chatting about everything under the sun, from philosophy of life to the number of fish in the river.
When the bottle was almost empty, with only one glass left, Zhang San picked up the bottle, stood up, and walked towards Bai Lu with unsteady, drunken steps, ignoring Xiao Cheng's murderous gaze.
Before he even reached Bailu, he suddenly reached out and snatched her wine glass with a swift, albeit shaky, motion.
Two drops of wine were spilled while pouring, but it did not affect the full cup at all. I respectfully returned it to Bailu.
"Sister-in-law, today is my birthday!"
Zhang San's tongue seemed to be tied in knots as he stammered, "Just... give me the honor... have a drink... the happiest thing in my life is being able to work for Brother Cheng and drink with him..."
"I hope that something even happier would be to have a drink with my older brother and sister-in-law, and to receive their birthday wishes. That would make my life complete..."
Zhang San's heartfelt expression of lofty ambitions seemed utterly nauseating to the other men.
One by one, they turned their heads away, not recognizing him.
But he was also curious whether Xiao Cheng would tear him apart, so he listened intently while looking at the scenery.
Luo Shiliu, Xiao Dazhuang, and Wang Hao drank some wine and didn't feel any discomfort, so they didn't bother to care.
It's none of our business; my sister-in-law has her older brother.
Bai Lu felt she should be able to drink a small glass of fruit wine. Even if she couldn't, she had trustworthy people around her. Xiao Cheng, in his boss-like state, was calm and composed.
We will respect all her wishes.
Trustworthy.
Therefore, before Xiao Cheng coldly snatched the cup, Bai Lu first accepted the wine cup that Zhang San bent down to hand her.
She then gave Xiao Cheng a sweet smile: "I'll just have one drink, you watch me."
Seeing the undisguised trust in Bai Lu's eyes, Xiao Cheng was touched and finally respected her wishes, letting go of the last thought of stopping her.
Bai Lu stood up with her wine glass in hand, and amidst the stunned gazes of everyone at the table, smiled and wished Zhang San a happy birthday.
"Happy birthday, elder brother and sister-in-law! May you have many more birthdays to come, may your happiness be as vast as the Eastern Sea, and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountain. May you drink wine every day until your life is perfect."
The person in front was deeply moved, but then the whole table collapsed, and a group of people had to grab the table to keep it from falling over.
My sister-in-law is indeed very knowledgeable; even her blessings are so ingenious, directly touching the heart of the birthday celebrant.
Zhang San coughed violently three times, until his face turned red, before he finally managed to steady himself and continue with what he hoped for: even greater happiness.
"Thank you, elder brother and sister-in-law."
After finishing his drink, Zhang San returned to his seat.
The people sitting next to him all gave him a thumbs up and shared their experiences of risking being thrown into the river by the big boss.
After drinking the wine, Bai Lu felt nothing and had no strange reactions.
My throat is a little sore.
The fruit wine I imagined to be fragrant and sweet turned out to be bitter and spicy in my mouth. It had a fruity flavor, but not much, and the alcohol taste seemed a bit strong, making me feel a little tipsy.
Whether it was an illusion or a chemical reaction from the alcohol, my brain felt a strange, inexplicable excitement.
It wasn't the excitement of wanting to do something, but rather the excitement of wanting to express my lofty ambitions.
Bai Lu had never experienced anything like this before.
Unable to say whether they liked or disliked it, a sense of unease slowly rose in their seemingly slow-to-react mind.
She decisively turned to look at Xiao Cheng.
It's over.
Xiao Cheng has indeed become more handsome.
My aunt said that when you're drunk, you think men are incredibly handsome, a million times more handsome than usual.
The man before me had a distinct profile, deep-set eyes, three-dimensional features, and an exceptionally handsome appearance. He was more than a million times, even a billion times, more handsome than usual.
Oh no, she's drunk!
No, no, Xiao Cheng is handsome!
His handsome appearance is unprecedented and unparalleled, a beauty unlike any other in this life or the last.
Besides, the chemical reaction of alcohol can't happen that quickly, so stay calm and don't panic.
It's definitely a psychological effect.
Just go outside and feel the river breeze.
Bai Lu pushed away the juice Xiao Cheng offered and pulled him up, saying, "Cheng, let's go out and see the scenery."
Xiao Cheng looked at the girl's slightly flushed cheeks and her clear yet slightly dreamy eyes, and hesitated for a moment.
Bai Lu immediately shook his hand: "I want to see the scenery, come with me to go out and have a look."
Is this... being coquettish?
Everyone at the table was stunned, whether they were grown men or young men.
It turns out that the eldest sister-in-law wasn't incapable of being affectionate; she just didn't act that way in front of them, only towards her eldest brother.
That pure and innocent smile, that melodious and ethereal voice, that graceful and charming demeanor in every gesture, that captivating and unparalleled beauty in every smile and frown.
This is absolutely terrible!
Oh my god! My heart is about to jump out of my chest!
Brother, please refuse! Don't take your sister-in-law sightseeing anymore; let them continue sightseeing!
Xiao Cheng clearly wouldn't let them have their way; he swiftly dismissed the predatory gazes from the entire table with a cold, sharp rebuke.
He stretched out his long arm, wrapped it around Bai Lu's slender and soft waist, and strode out.
Xiao Wei hesitated for a moment and did not follow. When he looked up, he saw that everyone at the table was staring at him until he disappeared, and he couldn't help but frown.
“My sister-in-law is my brother’s, what are you all looking at?”
"We're admiring the scenery!" Everyone was very honest.
Xiao Wei: "..."
Wang Hao, who was eating zongzi next to him, picked up a piece of pig's trotter and gave it to the little guy: "Ignore them, let's eat pig's trotter."
While eating pig's trotters, Xiao Wei suddenly asked Wang Hao, "Why haven't I seen your sister-in-law bring her child out to play?"
Although Chen Chunli is annoying, the baby is very cute. If we bring the baby out more often for my older brother and sister-in-law to see, maybe they will change their minds and have a nephew instead.
