A river breeze blew, the waves were crisp, the moonlight was dappled and sparse, and her dark hair swept past her eyes. Jiang Xia raised his hand and gently wiped her hair behind her ear.
Then, the two glasses swirled and crossed in her arms. Lin Yanwan tilted her head back and drank it down. Perhaps she drank it too quickly, because the light white foam of the beer dripped down the corner of her mouth and left a faint trace along her delicate, snow-white jawline.
Jiang Xia smiled and raised his hand, wiping her face with the back of his hand: "That's enough, baby, let's not drink anymore."
"Um……"
Lin Yanwan nodded, her face flushed. She wasn't a big drinker; after just two bottles, she was already feeling dizzy, her eyes sparkling with a captivating allure.
Wang Ming was incredibly envious. He picked up the bottle and kept drinking. The proprietress was truly the best woman he had ever met.
"You guys continue eating here. I'll take the cigarettes home later. Remember to get an invoice from the boss; the company will reimburse you tomorrow," Jiang Xia said, helping his swaying wife to her feet.
Shen Ying swallowed the meat skewers in one gulp and quickly stood up: "Um, I've almost finished eating. How about I take Yan Wan back? Boss, you guys can continue eating here."
Her best friend looked drunk. What if Jiang Xia had ulterior motives and took her to a hotel? Wouldn't he take advantage of her innocent body?
Even though they were already a couple, it's not really appropriate for them to have sex so early. I wonder if they even...
"No...it's okay, Yingying, he'll take me home." Lin Yanwan gently shook her head, her rosy little face looking very cute.
"Then I'll take you to the restroom first."
Shen Ying immediately stepped forward, took her arm, and led her to the bathroom, whispering in her ear, "Yan Wan, aren't you afraid he'll do that to you?"
"He...he wouldn't dare." Lin Yanwan secretly glanced at Jiang Xia, but in her heart, she thought that the relationship between the two had long been ambiguous.
It's nothing more than taking advantage of me while I'm drunk, kissing and touching me and taking advantage of me. Anyway, I've tried countless positions, both the ones I should and shouldn't know. My only regret is that I don't have any children.
"Forget it, I'll leave you be. You're just like a little girl in love right now, all you can think about is him. I really don't know what kind of medicine the boss gave you to make you trust him so much," Shen Ying said, pouting.
Lin Yanwan smiled but didn't explain. They were an old married couple; it would be a problem if they didn't trust each other.
She pushed open the bathroom door and went in. A moment later, she heard the sound of water flushing, and when she came out, Jiang Xia was waiting outside.
"Are you alright?" He took his wife's hand to the sink, squeezed some hand soap to clean it, and then dried it with a paper towel.
Lin Yanwan squinted as he took care of her: "Well, I feel a little lightheaded when I walk, but otherwise I'm fine."
"Should we walk around outside to sober up first, or just take a taxi home?"
"Let's get some fresh air," she said.
The two men put their arms around their wives' shoulders and walked out of the food stall, leaving Wang Ming and Shen Ying awkwardly eating their grilled fish.
"You must study hard when you get to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, okay?"
"Um."
"I've heard that girls in the capital are all very beautiful. You should find a gentle and kind girl to be your girlfriend, and don't get fooled by bad girls."
"Um."
"Also, keep in touch with Jiang Xia and Yan Wan more often. If you have any questions, ask them. They are more mature than you."
"Um."
"Why do you only know how to say 'uh-huh'? I'm talking to you seriously, so you should remember this." Shen Ying poked his face with the end of her chopsticks, annoyed.
“You’re not my sister,” Wang Ming muttered. “Besides, I might even be older than you.”
“That’s impossible, I’m two months older than you,” Shen Ying said with a smile.
How did you know?
"I saw it when we signed the contract. Yours was in October, and mine was in August." Shen Ying chuckled. "Am I right? Go ahead and call me 'sister'!"
"don't want!"
"It's okay if you don't call me that, anyway, I've accepted you as my little brother!" Shen Ying patted Wang Ming on the shoulder casually: "Come visit the University of Technology and Business when you have time, I'll protect you!"
Wang Ming's lips twitched violently. He had jokingly told Lao Jiang before that he wished all lovers in the world were siblings, but he never expected that it would actually come true in his own life.
What a terrible thing!
◇
Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan came out of the food stall. She was unsteady on her feet and Jiang Xia had to support her to prevent her from falling.
"Why don't we sit on the steps by the river?" he said.
"Um……"
Lin Yanwan answered in a daze, leaning almost entirely on Jiang Xia, her loose hair covering her flushed cheeks.
Jiang Xia smelled the alcohol on her, wrapped his arms tightly around her slender waist, and carefully sat down in the middle of the stairs.
The moon is full tonight, and its soft light shines down, creating shimmering ripples on the river.
Lin Yanwan closed her eyes and rested on his shoulder. She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of security whenever she was by his side.
“Yingying just whispered to me that she was afraid you would take me to a hotel.” She chuckled.
"Oh, how come I didn't think of that? She reminded me. I'll take you to a hotel now." Jiang Xia said with a smile, holding her hand.
"Go ahead and do it if you dare. My head is spinning and I have no strength at all. You can do whatever you want with me, since I can't resist anyway~"
She looked at Jiang Xia with seductive eyes, and after drinking, she became even more alluring than usual, showing some of the seductive charm she had after marriage in her previous life.
This is really a headache.
"You think I wouldn't dare, don't you?"
Jiang Xia lightly lifted her chin. She closed her eyes and slightly parted her lips. The aroma of wine on her lips seemed to stimulate dopamine, making him kiss her without hesitation.
Lin Yanwan wrapped her arms around his neck in response, and after a long while, the intense interaction between their lips and tongues slowly subsided.
Jiang Xia gently stroked her beautiful cheek and whispered, "Baby, you look so beautiful today. I really want to tease you."
"You're already bullying me," she whispered. "You've kissed my lips so much they're swollen."
Jiang Xia chuckled and pinched his wife's delicate nose. In his memory, when she got drunk, she would become like a little girl and love to act coquettishly, just like she was now.
“Actually, my current ambitions are far less grand than what I told Lao Wang and the others,” Jiang Xia suddenly said, his gaze fixed on the ships slowly passing by on the river, where he could vaguely see people on the deck looking towards the city.
"uh-huh?"
"I just want you to have a good life, and for Mom and Dad to have a good life, that's all." His tone became very serious.
"I am too..."
She closed her eyes again, leaned against Jiang Xia with peace of mind, and hugged him tightly. She hadn't made a mistake in loving this man.
"Honey, all I want is to stay with you and protect this family. Please don't chase me away like before. Even if life is tough and tiring, I'm willing to do it."
Suddenly, a ship's horn sounded in the wind, mixed with her murmurs, and gradually drifted away.
...
(Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, I'm going to get my marriage certificate with my wife~)
