Zhou Jing'an actually came with gifts. After all, he knew that Jiang Ling was having a birthday, so he bought all kinds of snacks and fruits on the way here.
Considering the identities, friendship and the fact that they came here on short notice, there was nothing wrong with giving such a gift.
But he still prepared something else.
He bought it yesterday after he learned that she had invited his sister to the birthday party and he went out for something and happened to do so.
It is a purple-hair brush produced in Xuancheng.
Xuancheng is rich in bamboo, which grows fast and can be used to produce a large number of brushes. Therefore, Xuancheng's purple-hair brushes are very famous. Purple hair is also rabbit hair.
Zhou Jing'an accidentally saw a Xuancheng purple-hair brush with a bamboo pen holder. At both ends of the pen holder were ring-shaped decorations made of white jade. Two rabbits were carved on it using a carving technique, one jumping lively and the other curled up on the side. The brush was outlined with silver lines, making it look playful and cute.
He remembered the poem Jiang Ling had written under the koi lantern she had given him. The handwriting was very beautiful.
So I bought it, thinking it would suit her very well.
But when I really saw her, I didn’t know whether I should give it to her.
After all, giving such a gift is still a bit ambiguous.
While he was struggling with this, Jiang Ling was busy.
She wasn't drunk at all.
In her previous life, Jiang Ling could drink a lot with just one glass of alcohol, but after she entered the entertainment industry, all kinds of social engagements forced her to drink constantly, and occasionally mix drinks.
At the beginning, it was easy to get drunk and pass out, and there were several dangerous times when I was almost taken advantage of by people with bad intentions.
Since then, Jiang Ling has been determined to improve his drinking capacity.
The less of this kind of unknown danger there is, the better.
So later on, she was able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and even a pound of white wine without getting dizzy.
Although she can drink a lot, she gets angry easily.
Even drinking a drink will make your face red.
After coming through, she took the opportunity to test her alcohol tolerance and wanted to know if anyone had come through with her. After all, this skill was quite useful, and she didn't want to practice it from scratch.
Fortunately, she still can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
She asked Silly in her heart: "Silly, are you sure Zhou Jing'an is at the bow on the second floor?"
The three floors are stepped, with the area getting smaller as she goes up. In fact, she can see the bow of the second floor if she just leans over and looks down.
But she was afraid that if she lowered her head, she would look into Zhou Jing'an's eyes, which would be disastrous.
There's no need to be afraid of being stupid, because Zhou Jing'an can't see it anyway.
It looked down and nodded, "Indeed, host, please feel free to act."
Jiang Ling calmed down a little and poured the osmanthus wine into his mouth.
I have to say, this wine is pretty good.
Her little face was rosy, as red as the maple leaves in autumn, her eyes were half open, and her body was leaning on the bow of the third floor. There were three rooms on the third floor, one each at the bow, the middle and the stern. They were not completely enclosed, so that guests could enjoy the scenery more easily.
Jiang Ling was in the room at the bow. There was a seat at the bow, and she sat on it, leaning against the railing with half of her body almost sticking out.
Of course, it was so that every word of his voice could be heard by Zhou Jing'an without missing a word.
She muttered, "Zhou Jing'an... he's such a bad guy, I don't want to pay any attention to him anymore..."
Zizhen and Luzhu were anxiously waiting by the side. They tried to grab the wine pot, but Jiang Ling dodged them. They said anxiously, "Miss, please don't drink any more. Drinking too much will harm your health."
Jiang Ling smiled innocently and shook his head: "I'm not drunk..."
"I can drink a lot, I won't get drunk at all..." Although she said it stubbornly, her words were not clear and she looked drunk.
She continued to talk about Zhou Jing'an, "I thought... he was here to celebrate my birthday today, and I was so happy..." She changed her tone, her voice dejected, "Who knew he was here to discuss business with Dad? He didn't even glance at me... not even for me."
Zhou Jing'an listened quietly below.
Hearing this, he frowned unconsciously, feeling a little aggrieved.
He clearly saw it.
I looked at it several times.
Jiang Ling gulped down another big gulp, and Zizhen and Luzhu hurriedly tried to stop him.
"Miss, osmanthus wine is not suitable for women to drink. Please give it to me and I will replace it with green plum wine for you, okay?" Zizhen coaxed.
Zhou Jing'an took a step forward and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Although the osmanthus wine is mellow, it has a strong aftertaste, so he has to drink it slowly, let alone Jiang Ling.
He was just about to turn around to remind Meng Wanjie to go up and stop Jiang Ling when he heard Jiang Ling speak again.
She mumbled vaguely, "Zizhen, go get... get that box."
Zizhen responded and brought the wooden box over. "Miss, I've brought it. Can you give me the wine jug?"
Jiang Ling seemed to think about it and nodded, "Okay."
She finally handed the wine jug over, which made Zizhen and Luzhu breathe a sigh of relief and they quickly took the wine jug away.
Jiang Ling stood up shakily, opened the wooden box, looked at the thick stack of letters inside, and said with a pout, "I don't want to pay attention to him anymore. I like him... It's been a year, and he hasn't even looked at me. He must be disgusted with me..."
As she spoke, she began to choke up, which sounded heartbreaking.
Zhou Jing'an slowly clenched his fists and couldn't help but think, has she...has she been in love with him for a year?
He didn't look away from her.
Nor did I hate her.
