Chapter 547: Not Even a Peach Blossom
Su Qi and Tang Zikai know each other well, but they are not well matched. If they were to get together, one is good at literature and the other is good at martial arts, it would be a good match.
"The biggest problem with people is that they don't see the light well. Don't make this mistake."
Hearing this, Tang Zikai quickly waved his hands and shook his head, yes, this was a misunderstanding.
He was determined not to allow his love to be strangled in a cradle before it even began.
"Don't scare me. There's no way we can be happy together."
The main reason is that they know each other too well, and Su Qi is a very smart woman. No matter what you want to do, you can't escape her eyes.
Being with someone like this, without even a little privacy, was something he couldn't accept just thinking about.
"Don't be too quick to reject someone. Fate will decide where you end up."
Dai Qing held her chin with one hand, looked up at him and chuckled.
"As a friend, I want to warn you in advance. Don't offend others, or you will regret it."
It is said that marriages between wealthy families are based on interests, and feelings are put second. Although she is not sure, based on her understanding of Tang Zikai, he should not take his marriage lightly.
After all, both parties have to spend their lives together, how uncomfortable would it be to get along with each other?
Tang Zikai: “…”
The flame of love was extinguished before it even started?
Seeing Tang Zikai pursing his lips and saying nothing, Dai Qing stood up happily and went straight back to the yard.
Xingzhou had already moved the table into the yard and was ready to start drinking.
Seeing Dai Qing coming back, Xing Zhou glanced behind her and raised his eyebrows.
"Where's Tangzi? Did he fall into the sea?"
"Not really. I'm just sitting back there thinking about life." Dai Qing chuckled, took the chair from Cai Kuan and lent a hand.
After a while, I heard Aunt Li calling out from the kitchen.
"Do you want to eat? Everything is ready."
Xing Zhou looked up and called out to the people upstairs, then went to the kitchen with Cai Kuan to serve the dishes.
Boiled shrimp and steamed swimming crab are still the main dishes. The pink sea fish selected by Dai Qing were fried until golden brown and sprinkled with chopped celery.
The other dishes were stir-fried clams, steamed scallops with garlic sauce, pork ribs and lotus root soup, and a few other seafood dishes I couldn't name. In short, the table was full. It was enough for all of them.
As people came downstairs one after another, they sat together and drank a glass of beer.
"It's a rare opportunity for us to get together during the Chinese New Year. We are very happy today and we are all drinking."
"That's right. As long as you don't run into the sea when you're drunk, everything else will be fine."
Cai Kuan was sitting next to Dai Qing. After he finished speaking, he laughed and clinked lips with Dai Qing.
"Big sister, you can do whatever you want. I'll do it."
They drank some wine and started eating. Cui Keke sat across from them, pouting and staring at Dai Qing with an unfriendly look.
"Why should we do what she wants?"
"Ms. Cui, you misunderstood. What I meant is that Xiaoqing is free to do whatever she wants. I'll do it myself. You can decide how much you want to drink. We never encourage girls to drink."
Cai Kuan held the glass and looked at her.
"Little girl, how come your ears don't work well at such a young age?"
Cui Keke's face flushed after being bluntly rebuked by Cai Kuan. She put down the cup and lowered her head, looking pitiful.
Su Qi glanced at her, raised her glass and smiled gently at the group.
"I know you are all gentlemen who care about women. But we are all advanced women of the new era. Once we order beer, we can still drink it. We don't need you to take special care of us."
As she said that, she tilted her head back and drank the glass. The girl next to her followed suit and laughed.
"Su Qi is right. Let alone a bottle of beer, even if it's just white wine, we won't be afraid."
Xing Zhou sat across from them, looking at this, then that, and finally slapped the table.
"In that case, let's drink as much as we can and not leave until we are drunk. Tangzi, what do you think?"
"Whatever you like."
Tang Zikai was not very interested at this time and was in a low mood.
Watching Su Qi chatting with the crowd, he turned to look at Dai Qing's quiet posture, sighed silently, picked up the beer at hand and drank it in one gulp.
Cui Keke watched Tang Zikai drinking and spoke without thinking.
"Brother Zikai, you can't just drink. It will hurt your body."
When her anxious and concerned tone came out, it directly attracted the attention of several people, and the atmosphere was quiet for a moment.
Cui Keke was stunned for a moment before she suddenly reacted. Her face immediately turned red and she lowered her head again, clasping her hands together.
"I...I just think it's not good to drink like this."
Su Qi turned her head and looked at her calmly, "If you don't know how to drink, just eat your meal. It won't make any difference if we drink a little beer. Besides, what kind of wine did you recommend at the beginning?"
"Sister, I..."
Cui Keke looked at Tang Zikai carefully, her eyes empty, and nervously picked up the chopsticks to pick up a swimming crab for herself. Because she was too nervous, she dropped it directly on the table.
This time, her face turned even redder, and she quickly reached into her plate and almost shrank herself into a quail.
Su Qi shook her head as she looked at her petty appearance. Her father had always asked her to take care of her younger sister more, but this girl was too confused and would not listen to her teachings at all.
Her thoughts were almost written all over her face, and she thought she was hiding it well.
Seeing her embarrassed look, Su Qi was helpless.
Dai Qing looked at the sisters opposite her, turned her head and glanced at Tang Zikai, and suddenly found a few lines on his forehead, and she couldn't help but frowned.
After concentrating for a while, a scene suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
On the snow-white beach, Cui Keke, with tears streaming down her face, held Tang Zikai's arm, as if begging for something.
Dai Qing was stunned. It turned out that Cui Keke liked Tang Zikai. What a pity, she was not even his peach blossom.
Two cases of beer were cleared out by a few people, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly lively. Everyone present was not a stranger, and everyone was able to let go.
I don't know who suggested it, but a few people started a lottery game. Whoever got drawn got to perform a skill they were good at, whether it was singing, dancing, telling jokes, or truth or dare. You could choose any of them.
Xingzhou grabbed a handful of chopsticks, marked them with a pen, put them in a bamboo tube, and asked everyone to take them one by one.
In the first round, Xingzhou drew the mark he wrote. As a warm-up, he sang a song, which drew cheers from everyone.
In the second round, Cai Kuan was chosen. He held the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the people, "Shall I recite the periodic table for everyone?"
"Psychotic,"
Jiang He curled the corner of his mouth, shook his head, tilted his head back and took a sip of wine, listening to Cai Kuan reciting the 118 chemical elements at the fastest speed.
Several people stared at him. Cai Kuan chuckled and said, "Didn't you say choose what you are best at? I am best at memorizing. Chemical formulas are also OK."
Everyone: “…”
