Fang Ziqi, unwilling to give up, wanted to continue asking questions, but seeing that Gu Siye had returned, she wisely shut her mouth.
"Is this beer?" Li Zhiyi's eyes lit up when he saw the green bottle in Gu Siye's hand. The phone said that barbecue and beer are the best combination.
Gu Siye had actually gotten the beer for Fang Ziqi and himself, but Li Zhiyi immediately grabbed a bottle from his hand without any hesitation, asking, "How do I open this?"
"I'll hit you..." Fang Ziqi hadn't finished speaking when he saw Gu Siye staring at him. He immediately realized that he had been too enthusiastic, which made Gu Siye's boyfriend feel invisible.
"Hehe, my mistake, my mistake," Fang Ziqi teased Gu Siye.
He then chuckled and continued, "Have your boyfriend open it for you. I'll go get a bottle too." With that, he stood up and left.
Li Zhi was so focused on opening the bottle in his hand that he didn't hear what Fang Ziqi was saying. Suddenly, the beer bottle was taken away by Gu Siye.
He clinked the two beers together, opened one, and handed it back to Li Zhiyi.
Li Zhiyi exclaimed, "Amazing! I couldn't figure out how to open it for ages." He then took a big gulp, "Cough, cough cough," but almost choked on it.
"The pictures on the phone make beer taste so good, it's all a lie. How can it taste good when it's so pungent?"
Fang Ziqi happened to overhear Li Zhiyi's words and went back to get two bottles of red wine. "This beautiful lady, women all love red wine, would you like to try some?"
"Great! Red wine sounds delicious."
Gu Siye glared at Fang Ziqi, who pretended not to understand, thinking to himself, "You brat, I'm giving you a chance to create, you know?"
This time, Li Zhi poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and exclaimed, "This is so delicious! I love this kind of wine the most. Give me the whole bottle too!"
Li Zhiyi drank two bottles of wine and ate quite a few lamb skewers by himself, finally feeling full and satisfied. On the way to the car, Li Zhiyi felt drowsy and dizzy. Suddenly, he thought of his master and couldn't help but sob.
Gu Siye never knew how to comfort girls, so he scolded, "Don't cry, we'll be home soon."
"Home? Where is home, Master? Master, let's go home. Have I found Master?"
From Li Zhiyi's few words of drunken ramblings, Gu Siye thought of a possibility: he had already heard his grandfather say that she had a token for this trip down the mountain, and that token was the jade pendant that her master had given her.
But she's been down the mountain for so long, and her master hasn't come even once. Could it be that her master has disappeared? Did she go down the mountain just to find her master?
Then she thought it was unlikely. If she was so capable, then her master must be even more powerful. Logically, he shouldn't have disappeared!
Upon arriving at the Gu family home, Gu Siye looked at the drunken Li Zhiyi, and finally, as if making a decision, he took a deep breath and picked Li Zhiyi up. The hall was quiet; everyone was clearly already asleep.
The girl's fragrance combined with the smell of alcohol stimulated his senses. This was the first time he had ever hugged a girl. The girl's warm breath blew right onto his earlobe, making him feel a little itchy, like being scratched by a kitten. This stirred up a bit of panic in his heart. This was the first time he had ever had such a complex feeling.
In her dream, Li Zhi saw her master and cried out, "Master, don't go! Master, take me with you..." Then she fell asleep.
Seeing that she reeked of alcohol, Gu Siye still helped her take off her coat and shoes and put them on the bed.
At this moment, Xiaobai suddenly woke up and pounced on Gu Siye. Gu Siye was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by Xiaobai's impact.
Xiao Bai's eyes were cold. He felt that Xiao Bai was angry and explained, "She was drunk. I didn't mean anything by it."
As she spoke, she stood up and left the room. Only then did Xiaobai approach Li Zhiyi and lick her face. Li Zhiyi was fast asleep.
The next day, Wang Ma woke her up: "Miss, the young master said you drank too much yesterday. Are you feeling better now? Should I make you a bowl of hangover soup?"
"No need, I'm fine now, thank you, Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Miss, everyone is waiting for you to come down for your meal."
"Okay, I'll be right down."
Li Zhiyi couldn't believe she had drunk so much red wine yesterday. Red wine isn't very strong, so how did she get drunk? She couldn't have said anything incoherent, could she? Back in the mountains, her master never let her drink alcohol; this was the first time she had ever done so.
When Li Zhi came downstairs for breakfast, Gu Nianzhi was also downstairs. Unexpectedly, Gu Nianzhi did not make sarcastic remarks this time. She just silently ate her food with her head down, as if she had something on her mind.
Li Zhiyi was unaware that Gu Nianzhi was still thankful that she hadn't gone to the dance hall with her best friend last night. Her best friend had been kidnapped after leaving the dance hall yesterday, and her family had reported it to the police, but there was still no news.
She only discovered the kidnapping when she saw the group chat with her best friend. She was horrified, wondering if she herself would have been kidnapped if she had gone out with her best friend yesterday, her fate unknown.
As for why she didn't go out with her best friend, she remembered what Li Zhiyi had said, and on a whim, she didn't go. Could it be that she really could tell fortunes?
Li Zhiyi sensed that Gu Nianzhi was secretly observing her, and assumed that Gu Nianzhi had a problem with her being drunk last night, so she ignored her.
"Girl, eat more, look how thin you are." Grandpa Gu cared for Li Zhiyi as always, and Li Zhiyi lived up to his grandfather's expectations, eating quite a lot.
Just as Li Zhi finished eating and was about to stand up, Gu Nianzhi suddenly said, "Miss Li, do you really know how to tell fortunes?"
Although she listened to her and didn't go out yesterday, she still felt that this matter was a bit mysterious, and she was somewhat skeptical.
"Didn't you already verify it?" She knew that Gu Nianzhi had escaped a disaster.
"Well, could you do a divination for my friend? She's been kidnapped."
"Okay, but I'll charge you." Before she could even say how much it would cost per session...
Grandpa Gu chimed in, "Girl, five hundred yuan is far too little. It will make people think you're not very skilled."
Although Grandpa Gu is not short of money, this is his granddaughter-in-law, and he can't let her look down on him. Five hundred yuan is indeed too little!
"Really, Grandpa?" Li Zhiyi hadn't expected this explanation.
"Would Grandpa lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask Si Ye. Your fees are really too low! People will think you're a swindler."
