Chapter 11 Alcohol "Why are you still so nice to me?"...
Fortunately, Lu Wangshan never had the habit of letting servants take care of his daily life, otherwise the news that he brought Yun Tan home late at night would have spread throughout the Lu family.
He brought slippers to Yuntan and poured a cup of hot water.
The room was brightly lit, and he could finally see Yun Tan's wet eyelashes and the dried tear marks on her cheeks. She had just cried, but now she was too quiet.
In the face of Yun Tan's tears, Lu Wangshan was powerless.
The questions and anger that had been lingering in his heart for five years suddenly didn't matter so much.
He bent down and asked gently, "Your clothes are dirty. Do you want to take a shower first?"
Yun Tan slowly raised his head and blinked slowly: "Will it be a little inconvenient?"
Lu Wangshan curled his lips into a smile, raised his hand and gently touched her cheek, which was chilled by the evening breeze. "You followed me here, and you're only starting to think about this?"
He took Yuntan upstairs.
There were many guest bedrooms on the second floor. He took Yuntan directly to his room and took out a cashmere home suit from the closet for her.
"Go take a shower first."
Lu Wangshan closed the door for her and turned to go downstairs.
He sat on the sofa and watched Leo running up and down excitedly - it had been so long since he had been with his parents.
"Leo." Lu Wangshan called it and waved at it.
Leo ran downstairs to his side and shouted at him: "Woof!" "What are you doing, Mommy?"
"Mom is taking a shower, please don't make any noise."
So Leo lay obediently beside Lu Wangshan. Although he stopped running around, he was still very agitated. The slightest noise from upstairs would make him quickly raise his head and prick up his ears.
Lu Wangshan was the same, restless.
He still felt unreal at this moment.
Hasn't he always hated Yuntan?
How did it develop to this point?
But the feeling at this moment is unexpectedly great. I don’t have to be stubborn or pretend anymore.
-
About a quarter of an hour later, Yuntan pushed the door open and came out of the bedroom.
She put on Lu Wangshan's beige cashmere home clothes, which were a little too big for her. The neckline revealed a wet collarbone, the sleeves easily covered her entire hands, and the hem reached mid-thigh. She was still wearing her own slim jeans underneath.
Her long hair was tied into a loose bun, with a few strands of hair on her temples, framing her jade-like cheeks. Her light amber pupils were like a cup of shimmering, fragrant amber wine.
Lu Wangshan kept his head up, and a group of butterflies instantly passed through his heart, spreading out layers of ripples.
As his heartbeat quickened, he realized that they had separated. His heart suddenly felt empty, his fingertips began to tremble, and a feeling of sourness densely wrapped around his entire heart.
Leo immediately jumped off the sofa and ran over to greet him, his tail wagging so hard it felt like it was about to fly.
Yuntan rubbed its head, looked at its excited and silly look, and finally laughed.
Yun Tan's temperament is cold most of the time, thanks to her sharp bones and narrow eyes, but once she smiles, she becomes charming in an instant, and the upturned corners of her eyes are even more pronounced, showing a shocking beauty.
Lu Wangshan's heart felt like it was hit hard.
He stood up and walked forward: "It's getting late, are you going to sleep here tonight?"
Yuntan's eyelashes trembled slightly and she raised her eyes.
Her gaze was clearly calm, but at this moment it caused a butterfly effect that stirred up huge waves.
Before she could open her mouth, Lu Wangshan heard her stomach rumbling.
"Didn't you have dinner?"
"I ate a little."
Lu Wangshan looked at his watch, then turned and went into the kitchen: "What do you want to eat?"
He asked so naturally that Yun Tan paused, his eyes warming again: "It's all right. Have you eaten yet?"
"Um."
Lu Wangshan opened the refrigerator and picked out the ingredients, enough to make several dishes.
Thaw several oxtail and steak sections in the oven.
He still remembered that Yuntan used to like to eat butter shrimp. He would first process the fresh shrimp kept in the refrigerator, peel the shrimp shells, leaving only the shrimp tails, and then remove the shrimp thread.
After finishing the preparations, he rolled up his sleeves and tied on an apron.
Yun Tan leaned on the kitchen counter and watched Lu Wangshan cook quietly.
The man had a broad back and thick hands with distinct knuckles, and he performed these delicate tasks with skill and grace. He first melted a piece of butter and then poured in the processed shrimp.
Yuntan also tried to cook when he was studying abroad, but he failed every time.
She really has no talent for it.
Yun Tan looked at his back, her eyes growing hotter.
"Lu Wangshan." She called softly.
"Um."
"Why are you still so nice to me?"
Lu Wangshan paused his fingertips for a moment, and said calmly, "Maybe I just like to help stray dogs."
He pointed at Leo and said, "Stray Dog No. 1." Then he pointed at Yuntan and said, "Stray Dog No. 2."
The aroma of butter and shrimp soon filled the kitchen.
Lu Wangshan took out one of the shrimps and fed it to Yun Tan: "Try it."
Leo was also in the kitchen, sitting on the floor, wagging his tail and being dazzled by the smell - his daily diet adhered to the health standards of dogs, low in oil and salt. Although each portion was not cheap, how could it be as delicious as human food?
Leo raised his paw and patted Yuntan's leg gently: "Mom, Leo wants to eat too."
Yun Tan glanced at Leo, then glanced at Lu Wangshan.
The butter shrimp is seasoned with just a little black pepper, so it won’t affect the health of the puppy.
So Yuntan secretly fed the shrimp to Leo.
"Is it delicious?" Lu Wangshan asked while frying the oxtail.
Yuntan looked at Leo's expression and answered for him: "It's delicious."
The oxtail doesn't cook so quickly, so Lu Wangshan lit a new pan to fry steak. He was afraid that Yuntan would be hungry, so he fed her a shrimp.
Leo used the same trick again, and Yuntan secretly gave it the shrimp again.
This time, Lu Wangshan heard the sound of Leo chewing. He turned around and saw that Leo immediately shut his mouth and looked at Yuntan again.
He sighed silently and asked, "Aren't you hungry? Eat by yourself."
"Leo looks hungry too."
"It has already had its dinner."
Lu Wangshan picked up Yun Tan and put her on the kitchen counter, then fed her another shrimp, this time watching her swallow it.
Leo still wanted to eat and continued to stretch out his claws.
Lu Wangshan simply gave an order: "Go back to your nest, Leo."
Leo hummed loudly and didn't want to leave. He pretended not to hear and tried to get away with it. He only left obediently when Lu Wangshan repeated it for the second time.
-
Lu Wangshan was very skilled in his movements. He prepared a dish of butter shrimp, a dish of braised oxtail with tomatoes, and then a pan-fried steak with some black pepper fried asparagus.
He walked out of the kitchen with the last two dishes, while Yuntan took the plate of half-eaten butter shrimp.
"What would you like to drink?" Lu Wangshan asked.
"Any wine?"
Yun Tan asked a question, but his eyes had already swept over the wine cabinet to search for which bottle he wanted to drink.
Lu Wangshan raised his chin and motioned her to choose it herself.
Yuntan doesn't like foreign liquor, but only likes white wine. He picked a Maotai in a ceramic bottle and looked at the year. It was from 1960.
She withdrew her hand in disappointment and put it back respectfully. This level of liquor might have been collected by Lu Wangshan's grandfather, so how could she dare not drink it casually?
In the end, she only took a bottle of recent-year Moutai.
Lu Wangshan watched her picking and choosing and couldn't help laughing out loud.
He walked forward and opened the bottle of 1960 Maotai in a ceramic bottle.
Yun Tan's eyes widened immediately, and it was too late to stop him: "This, this, what a waste, I can drink this bottle."
"It's all open."
Lu Wangshan took out a special white wine glass for her, poured it to the 200-liang mark, and placed it in front of her.
Yuntan still didn't dare to drink.
It's against the rules to drink wine from 1960 just like that, right?
"Is this your grandfather's wine collection?"
"Um."
"Then if you open it like this, will he scold you?"
Just now, Yuntan carefully looked at the wine cabinet and found that this was the only ceramic bottle in it.
Lu Wangshan glanced at her and raised his eyebrows: "You drank it, why are you scolding me?"
“…”
Yun Tan calmly pushed the glass of wine back in front of him: "Then I won't drink it."
Lu Wangshan smiled and said, "Drink it. The old man has a lot of wine in the basement, so this bottle is more than enough."
Yuntan has been craving this wine for a long time. The wine has a mellow aroma and is smooth and soft in the mouth, not at all pungent, completely different from wines of ordinary years.
Yuntan drank half a cup in one breath, and he felt warm, and his upset emotions were suppressed and obscured by the alcohol.
She hummed a small "ha" and sighed softly, "After so many years abroad, the thing I missed most was your wine cabinet."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Lu Wangshan had an impulse for a moment and wanted to ask Yun Tan, have you ever thought about me?
But in the end, I still didn't say it.
Yun Tan ate and drank at the same time. After drinking two taels of wine, he asked Lu Wangshan for more wine.
Lu Wangshan knew Yun Tan's alcohol tolerance, which was no less than his, so he didn't stop her and poured her another two liang of wine: "One last glass. If you drink too much, you won't be able to sleep well."
Yuntan nodded. She was full soon and continued drinking from the wine glass.
Lu Wangshan sat opposite her with a glass of boiled water in front of him, watching her drink quietly, watching her cheeks slowly turn red and her eyes getting redder and redder.
Something was wrong with Yun Tan, and Lu Wangshan noticed it.
This is what happens when she is particularly sad. Lu Wangshan is not familiar with Yun Tan in this state. He has only seen it once, in the summer six years ago, when they made love for the first time.
She became very calm, strangely calm, and her light amber pupils turned into a swamp abyss, hiding endless grievances and pain.
After drinking four ounces of liquor, he was just tipsy, but still far from being able to completely cloud his emotions. Instead, the scene of the argument at home just now was replaying in his mind more and more lively, mixed with the earth-shattering quarrel from earlier.
She desperately wanted to drink some more, get completely drunk, and fall asleep.
When she reached out to grab the bottle again, Lu Wangshan grabbed her wrist. At the same time, his phone rang.
Lu Wangshan took the bottle and said, "We agreed not to drink anymore."
Then pick up the phone.
Yuntan tried to remove the bottle by pinching his fingers again, but failed.
The one who called Lu Wangshan was Xiang Yin, asking if Wuwu was with him.
"Why is Xiang Wu here with me so late?" Lu Wangshan said.
When he heard Xiang Wu's name, Yun Tan stopped and looked up at Lu Wangshan.
Xiang Yin was a little anxious and said that Xiang Wu left home after her father scolded her for her love affair, and she hasn't been able to get through to her on the phone until now.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to her with that personality." Lu Wangshan comforted her and hung up the phone.
He raised his eyes and met Yun Tan's gaze.
"Xiang Wu, my mother's niece, my cousin."
Lu Wangshan didn't know why he had to explain, but he did. "The clothes in the cloakroom upstairs are also hers. She left them with me temporarily when she moved."
Yun Tan said "Oh" and asked, "Can't drink anymore?"
Lu Wangshan shook his head: "You've already drunk four ounces, you can go to sleep now."
Yuntan said "Oh" again.
But he still sat in the chair without moving.
After a while.
"Lu Wangshan."
"Um?"
Yun Tan looked into his eyes and suddenly asked, "Do you want to do it?"
