With a table full of delicious food and it being New Year's Eve, of course we have to have a few drinks.
Zhou Zhengye took out two bottles of wine that he had prepared in advance and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, and I prepared the wine a long time ago. With so many good dishes, we should have a few drinks. Yuhan, have a little too."
Du Yuhan quickly waved her hand and said, "I don't drink alcohol, you men can drink."
Zhou Zhengye said, "Everyone's happy today, so you should join in the fun. If you can't drink, just drink a little."
As he spoke, he poured Du Yuhan a small glass of wine.
Han Yixian also said, "Yuhan doesn't drink, so drink less. We'll drink our own, and you can drink as much as you like."
Upon hearing this, Du Yuhan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Du Yuhan said, "Brother Han, you can't drink too much. It's bad for your health. Everyone's happy today because it's the New Year, so it's okay to have a few drinks."
Hearing Du Yuhan's concern for him, Han Yixian smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, with so many good dishes, I definitely won't drink too much."
The three men then began to toast and enjoy the delicious food on the table.
Liu Gang rarely has the opportunity to drink, so he was the happiest because he could finally indulge during the Spring Festival.
Du Yuhan was toasted by Zhou Zhengye and Liu Gang in turn, and even Han Yixian toasted her once. Although Du Yuhan only took a small sip each time, she still finished the small glass of baijiu.
Although it was only a small glass, the alcohol content was quite high, which made Du Yuhan feel a little dizzy.
Her body had never been exposed to alcohol before, so this first time drinking alcohol was a bit unsettling. Although she tried her best to eat and suppress the effects of the alcohol, she was still almost drunk.
With her eyes glazed over and cheeks flushed, Du Yuhan unconsciously revealed a side of herself that she had been deliberately hiding.
Despite being slightly drunk, Du Yuhan insisted on staying at the dinner table, her every move exuding a languid yet alluring charm.
Du Yuhan, her mind a little muddled, rested her chin on her hand as she watched the three men drink. Unconsciously, her gaze drifted to Han Yixian, and the thought that this man was really handsome flashed through her mind.
Han Yixian's hand, holding the wine glass, trembled slightly as she gazed at him with her alluring, mesmerizing eyes.
His face involuntarily felt hot, and his heart pounded. He knew his face must be red, but thankfully he was drinking and could use the alcohol to cover it up a bit.
Suddenly, Du Yuhan smiled, her bright red face as dazzling as a thousand peach blossoms in bloom.
Du Yuhan rested her chin on her hand, looked at Han Yixian with half-closed eyes and a drunken smile, and said, "Brother Han, your eyelashes are so long, longer than a woman's. Your eyes are also very beautiful. They are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen."
Han Yixian was already feeling a bit hot-faced from Du Yuhan's stare, and now that Du Yuhan was praising his looks so directly, his face turned bright red.
If someone else had praised him like that, he might not have reacted much, but since it was Du Yuhan praising him, it was different.
He knew Du Yuhan was drunk and talking nonsense. But there's also the saying that people speak the truth when they're drunk. Could he have assumed Du Yuhan liked his looks?
Zhou Zhengye and Liu Gang were also stunned by Du Yuhan's bold and straightforward words. When had they ever seen Du Yuhan like this before?
But that wasn't the most shocking part. Du Yuhan then said, "Brother Han is such a handsome guy, way more handsome than those celebrities and pretty boys. If you were in front of them, I guarantee you'd crush them in a second."
Han Yixian quickly recovered and, looking at Du Yuhan's languid and charming smile, asked with a warm smile, "Do you like Brother Han's appearance?"
Han Yixian suddenly felt that it wouldn't be bad to use today's situation to make Zhou Zhengye understand his feelings for Du Yuhan and make him back down.
He knew that if he were a normal person, Zhou Zhengye would definitely compete with him fairly, but now that he was in a wheelchair, Zhou Zhengye would not compete with him for Du Yuhan because of his guilt.
By the time he recovers his leg and stands up again, Du Yuhan will already be his. By then, it will be too late for Zhou Zhengye to compete with him.
Since it concerns Du Yuhan, he wouldn't mind scheming against Zhou Zhengye.
Since Du Yuhan has presented him with this opportunity today, he might as well make the most of it.
Du Yuhan replied to Han Yixian's words without thinking, "Of course I like him. Who doesn't like handsome men?"
Han Yi was secretly pleased to hear Du Yuhan call him a handsome man, and then asked, "So, do you like being with Brother Han?"
Du Yuhan, her eyes blurry with drunkenness and her mind sluggish, seemed unable to process what she was seeing. After a moment's thought, she said, "I like him, but I can't like him. He should go back to being the chosen one of heaven, and I should go live my leisurely life."
Han Yixian was taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting Du Yuhan to have such thoughts. It seemed he had to get her to accept him as soon as possible. For her sake, he was willing to give up being a privileged son of heaven.
Han Yixian looked at Du Yuhan and said, "You can like Brother Han. I allow you to like him."
Du Yuhan stared blankly at Han Yixian, unsure whether she had understood what he said.
Suddenly, tears welled up in Du Yuhan's eyes and flowed down her cheeks like a dam had been opened.
With tears in her eyes, she said, "Why didn't you wait for me? I could have cured you, why did you leave without waiting for me? I should have come back sooner."
Han Yixian frowned as he listened to Du Yuhan's drunken ramblings. This reminded him of the sleep-talking Du Yuhan had uttered when she was hospitalized and unconscious during her last fever.
Du Yuhan seemed to have said something similar in her sleep back then. Who exactly was Du Yuhan talking about? Why did he feel that Du Yuhan was talking about him?
What secrets does Du Yuhan hold in her heart?
Zhou Zhengye and Liu Gang were so stunned by the sudden turn of events that they were no longer drunk and stared at Du Yuhan and Han Yixian in disbelief.
Zhou Zhengye, in particular, realized from Han Yixian's words that Han Yixian had fallen for Du Yuhan. This made his heart sink.
If Han Yixian falls in love with Du Yuhan, then he absolutely cannot compete with Han Yixian for her affections.
Looking at Du Yuhan's charming and beautiful appearance, and thinking of that dream he hadn't had in a long time with no ending, perhaps he and Du Yuhan could only meet in dreams.
But he hadn't had that dream in a long time. In the dream, he and Du Yuhan had developed feelings for each other, but the dream abruptly ended, and he never had it again.
Could this be a warning to himself that things are no longer possible between him and Du Yuhan?
Han Yixian grabbed Du Yuhan's hand and coaxed her, "Yuhan, don't cry. Look at me, I'm fine now. I'll always wait for you."
Du Yuhan stared blankly at Han Yixian through her tear-filled eyes, murmuring, "You're alright. I can still make it."
