Chapter 111 I'd Rather Die Than Give It To You
Through various gatherings in the past, Yu Nian summarized a foolproof method for persuading people to drink.
When someone declines a drink and doesn't want to drink, you only need to say one thing to them.
"Can't you drink?"
Yu Nian's question made Chunyu Han feel somewhat underestimated by her; what was there about him that he couldn't drink?
Chunyu Han tilted his head back, picked up the small ladle, and poured it down.
Upon tasting the wine, Chunyu Han realized something was wrong with it.
The smooth wine suddenly turns fiery on the lips and teeth, and this intense heat extends from the throat to the stomach, finally turning into a warm current that cleanses the lungs.
Good wine...
Even Chunyu Han, who had tasted the palace's aged wine, did not hesitate to praise this wine.
"What kind of wine is this?"
Yu Nian also downed his own ladleful. Perhaps because he hadn't drunk strong liquor in a long time, Yu Nian actually felt a bit tipsy from that one ladleful.
"This is a jar of Daughter's Red wine that my father saved for me; there is only one of its kind in the world."
Yu Nian shook her head and pulled out the jar of wine she had hidden under the table.
She didn't want to expose the distillation process to Chunyu Han, lest he become suspicious again.
"This is for his son-in-law, you don't need to be embarrassed."
Taking advantage of the momentum, Yu Nian poured another ladleful for Chunyu Han, while emptying the bottom of her own ladle.
"This cup is for you, to thank you for saving me and the Yu family from danger on many occasions."
Yu Nian spoke with righteous indignation and her eyes were clear and bright, making it hard for Chunyu Han to refuse.
Moreover, the aroma of this wine was truly exceptional, and Chunyu Han didn't mind having another cup.
But given Yu Nian's condition... can she really drink that much?
"I'll toast you again, sir!"
Yu Nian poured Chunyu Han another glass with great enthusiasm. As long as she got Chunyu Han drunk, she would consider her mission accomplished.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, only the bottom portion of the jar of wine remained.
Chunyu Han remained seated firmly on the round stool, while Yu Nian…
The person was already seated at the table.
One foot was on the edge of the table, while the other leg swung idly.
She also tore off the rose crown on her head because she thought it was too heavy. Only the colorful beaded hair ornament with a magpie carrying a flower remained on her half-up hair, shimmering in the candlelight as Yu Nian swayed.
"Come on, drink some more!"
Yu Nian raised her wine glass with a flushed face and a dazed look in her eyes.
"You're drunk."
Chunyu Han's tone was somewhat helpless. Upon closer examination, it was highly likely that Yu Nian had already drunk too much from the first sip...
"How could that be? I'm not drunk at all. I haven't even drunk as much as Chunyu Han!"
Chunyu Han: "..."
Yu Nian herself has a good alcohol tolerance, but she overlooked a very important point: her current body is prone to getting drunk after just a sip of alcohol.
"Hmph, fine, if you're not going to drink with me, then so be it."
Yu Nian licked her lips, jumped off the table, and her skirt, embroidered with gold roses, shimmered and flashed past Chunyu Han's eyes. She then quickly lifted her skirt and slipped onto the bed.
They were both so drunk that Chunyu Han couldn't hold a grudge against her anymore; he really shouldn't have let her drink.
Just when Chunyu Han thought that the little drunk pig was going to sleep again, he turned around and found Yu Nian kneeling on the bed, muttering to herself, as if she was looking for something.
Chunyu Han walked over curiously. As soon as Yu Nian saw someone coming, she quickly picked up the box she had found under the bedding and held it in her arms, looking at Chunyu Han with great vigilance.
"What do you want?!"
It was that small silver box again; when Chunyu Han pulled Yu Nian out of the fire, she was also clutching it tightly in her hand.
What treasure is it that Yu Nian carries with her at all times, even in life-or-death situations?
"Give it to me."
Chunyu Han reached out to take it, and Yu Nian frowned, shrinking back nervously.
"No way!"
The more Yu Nianyue acted this way, the more intense Chunyu Han's curiosity became.
Chunyu Han's principle was to act rather than speak. With a swift movement, he grabbed the edge of the small silver box.
When Yu Nian saw someone trying to snatch her things, she lowered her head and bit Chunyu Han's hand hard without hesitation.
Chunyu Han didn't expect Yu Nian to bite him suddenly, but he didn't dodge, leaving a row of her teeth marks on the back of his hand.
"Don't try to take it from me, I'd rather die than give it to you."
Yu Nian's eyes were slightly red, and she pouted. Even though she was the one who bit someone, she acted as if she had been bullied.
Chunyu Han's eyes darkened, and he was about to lash out when he heard Yu Nian muttering again.
"This is for Chunyu Han. He's domineering and ruthless. If you try to take it, he'll definitely make your life miserable. He might even send you to the Eastern Depot to be castrated..."
Yu Nian let out a small hiccup, her speech and movements slowed down, and she spoke harshly in a soft tone.
He was really drunk; he didn't even recognize anyone.
Chunyu Han reached out and gripped Yu Nian's shoulder, his deep black eyes reflecting Yu Nian's blushing face.
"Then tell me, who am I?"
"you?"
Yu Nian rubbed her eyes, squinted and carefully looked at the handsome face magnified in front of her. Suddenly, she smiled, her clear, glassy eyes filled with a smug look.
"You, you are my husband~"
The soft, sweet voice, mixed with the aroma of alcohol, trailed off the last syllable of "君" with a long, drawn-out tone.
Suddenly, a tingling sensation spread through Chunyu Han's chest and permeated his entire body.
Chunyu Han felt that his heart condition had flared up again, and his heart skipped a beat.
Her voice was sweet, and so were her words. She was too drunk to recognize people, but she hadn't mistaken anyone for her.
Chunyu Han's cheeks flushed slightly, which he attributed to the strong liquor. He used force to pull the small box out of Yu Nian's arms.
With a flick of the fingertip, a dark blue object lay neatly inside the box.
Chunyu Han's eyes narrowed slightly. He was familiar with this thing; it was the sachet that Yu Nianxiu had given him.
Two mandarin ducks fly side by side, but the embroidery is very special and unusual. It looks like a series of crosses of different colors arranged together, neat and orderly but not rigid.
Look at these stitches; there are signs of multiple unstitchings, as if a lot of effort was put into them.
The thing she was protecting like a treasure turned out to be this...
"What's wrong with you? I already told you it wasn't for you, give it back to me right now."
Yu Nian struggled and pounced on Chunyu Han like a startled fawn, suddenly crashing into his arms. Chunyu Han was still looking at the sachet and was caught off guard when Yu Nian tackled him onto the bed.
The soft, warm scent enveloped him, and Chunyu Han's throat tightened. Under the red candlelight, their shadows intertwined.
Yu Nian pressed down on Chunyu Han, frowning without any self-awareness, looking both cute and fierce, her little hands rummaging around on Chunyu Han's body.
"Give it to me quickly!"
Even a eunuch couldn't resist Yu Nian's teasing. Chunyu Han turned over and pressed the unruly Yu Nian onto the bed.
What a troublemaker! Chunyu Han has secretly decided that from now on, Yu Nian will not be allowed to touch a single drop of alcohol.
After pressing Yu Nian down, Chunyu Han tried to get up.
But then they discovered that the magpie-shaped hair ornament with a flower in its beak, which was pinned to Yu Nian's hair, was tightly tangled with the tassel of the golden crown that held his hair up...
