Chapter 60
Looking at Ji Xin's back, Wen Min openly picked up the ice beer on the table and poured himself a full glass, and poured a small glass for Lin Jiu.
Wen Min raised his glass in the air, "One."
Lin Jiu picked up the cup and clinked it with hers ceremoniously. "Cheers."
Lin Jiu took a sip and there was no obvious change in the liquid level.
Wen Min glanced at her wine glass and asked, "You drink so little?"
"I just drank yesterday, so I have to be more restrained today. Besides, I'm not very good at drinking, and my alcohol tolerance is just average." Lin Jiu took out a string of dead lamb skewers from the plate and finished it in seconds.
Lin Jiu had only drunk two glasses just now, and now she couldn't drink anymore. Wen Min felt that she was really disappointing. She shook her head, "You still need to practice your drinking capacity."
"Come on, didn't Ji Xin say you can't drink?"
"That's because he underestimated me. I just drank half a bottle. Did you see my face is red?"
Lin Jiu looked at Wen Min's face carefully. It was so red that it looked like a monkey's butt. So, she said mercilessly, "It's very red. You can't drink anymore."
Although she was starting to feel dizzy, Wen Min still wanted to drink: "I can drink another bottle." After saying that, she immediately added another glass to her cup. Just as she was about to drink again, she met a cold gaze.
Ji Xin and Chen Miao had already walked to the riverside, leaning against the guardrail, keeping an eye on the movements in the barbecue restaurant.
Wen Min paused, her lips pursed, and she weakly put down her wine glass. She turned to Lin Jiu and complained, "We're in love, but Chen Miao obeys everything you say, while Ji Xin does the opposite. I'm so miserable..."
Lin Jiu turned his head to look out at the two scenic views, then turned back to Wen Min and said, "They do have something in common. They're both quite handsome."
"......" Wen Min said, "Are you trying to comfort me?"
"Well...right?"
Wen Min said angrily, "You are so bad." Picking up a skewer of lamb, she took a few bites, as if venting her anger.
"Ji Xin doesn't let you drink because it's for your own good. After all, drinking is harmful to your health."
Wen Min retorted: "Why didn't Chen Miao say anything about you? It's obviously Ji Xin who is strict."
Lin Jiu replied confidently: "I'm quite restrained, and he knows that, so he doesn't need to control me. But in Ji Xin's eyes, you have no restraint in drinking, and you want to drink more after drinking."
After hearing what Lin Jiu said, Wen Min was choked for a moment.
A few seconds later, Wen Min put her hands on her hips, looked at Lin Jiu and asked, "Are you really my good friend? Why don't you speak for me?"
Lin Jiu thought for a few seconds and joked, "Maybe we are just fake sisters and our feelings are not deep."
"Oh my." Wen Min pretended to punch her a few times and said with a smile, "How can you say that? We are such a good relationship."
Lin Jiu looked at Wen Min and smiled, then gave her a few skewers of lamb: "Eat some more."
Wen Min's stomach was a little empty, so he took it and started eating.
Lin Jiu suddenly remembered the quarrel and asked Wen Min: "What were you and Ji Xin talking about in the room? Why did you take so long to come out?"
Wen Min was chewing the mutton vigorously, but upon hearing this, her mouth slowed down, her eyes darting around. After a long moment, she swallowed, looked down at the wooden stick in her hand, and mumbled, "Just solve the problem, act like a spoiled child or something."
Lin Jiu carefully observed Wen Min's expression, which was very unnatural. She shook her wine glass and said with a smile, "When someone came out, his mouth was swollen."
Wen Min used crayfish as an excuse: "I was like that when I entered the room. Chunchun just ate too much crayfish and got a sore throat."
Lin Jiu uttered a meaningful "oh" and casually asked, "Does acting like a spoiled child really work?"
Wen Min lowered his head a little, not looking at her, "It's okay, it went pretty smoothly."
Lin Jiu looked at Wen Min's shy look and smiled, but didn't ask any more questions.
A few minutes later, Wen Min recovered and looked back to normal. Suddenly, he asked Lin Jiu for advice: "How do you make Chen Miao listen to you so well? Do you have any secrets to share?"
"Ah?" Lin Jiu didn't expect Wen Min to ask this. After a few seconds of contemplation, he said seriously, "There's no secret. He listens to me simply because he wants to."
Wen Min moved the stool and moved closer to Lin Jiu's face. He stared at her expression without blinking and asked, "Really?"
Lin Jiu shook his head calmly: "Really not."
Wen Min continued to ask, "Didn't you have any adjustment period when you first got together? How did you adapt during those first few days?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiu asked in confusion, "Do you still need to get used to this kind of thing?"
“…”
Wen Min was helpless and asked another question: "Have you never been afraid of Chen Miao? So it's natural for you to get along with him."
Lin Jiu didn't quite understand Wen Min's train of thought. After hesitating for a few seconds, he shook his head in denial.
Wen Min suddenly became excited and held her hand tightly: "This is the crux of the matter."
"Before we were together, I was a little scared... I was afraid he would get too close to me."
"......" Wen Min waited for a long time, but she didn't expect to get this answer. She roared in her heart: What kind of fear is this!
"After we are together, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Lin Jiu continued, "No matter how good he appears to be, how capable he is, or how difficult he is to approach. In my heart, from the moment he became my boyfriend, the adjective "Chen Miao" was preceded by only one prefix: my boyfriend. Now that he's my boyfriend, my attitude towards him has become more casual and less reserved."
Wen Min said dejectedly, "It's true that everyone is different. You feel more at ease after you've been in a relationship, but I've been under stricter control since I started dating."
Lin Jiu comforted her dryly, "Ji Xin and Chen Miao have quite different personalities, so the feeling of falling in love will be different."
Wen Min sighed sadly and said, "Yes."
Lin Jiu suddenly asked: "Do you regret being with Ji Xin?"
Wen Min was startled and glanced at Ji Xin in the distance in panic. Seeing that he looked normal, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She covered her mouth and nose with her hands and lowered her voice, saying, "Don't say that. If Ji Xin hears me, I'll be dead... I'm just complaining a little, don't take it seriously."
After a pause, she added, "I am his in life and his ghost in death."
“…”
Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight, the other was willing to be beaten.
Lin Jiu: "You're right, you and Ji Xin are a perfect match."
At the same time.
Compared to the familiarity between Lin Jiu and Wen Min, Chen Miao and Ji Xin were much more silent.
Chen Miao leaned relaxedly against the stone railing, with one hand supporting himself and the other hand hanging naturally.
Ji Xin leaned upright with his hands folded across his chest.
The two stood there for a long time, looking at their girlfriends quietly, and no one spoke first.
Inadvertently noticing Wen Min putting down his wine glass, Chen Miao scoffed, "You're so strict, aren't you afraid that he might run away?"
Ji Xin's voice was cold as she replied, "It's precisely because of the strict control that she had no chance to escape."
Chen Miao smiled, lowered his head, and shook his clothes loosely. He said indifferently, "It seems that you can't control it during your senior year of high school. Aren't you worried?"
Ji Xin's expression remained unchanged: "You like Lin Jiu, and the other people in the class are not a big threat."
"I thought what I liked wasn't obvious."
"You just look obvious to me." After all, the two are similar in some ways.
Chen Miao raised his eyebrows. "It's strange that you are so honest. You answer everything I ask."
Ji Xin said lightly: "We will meet again."
Chen Miao looked at the two people chatting enthusiastically at the small square table, and his thoughts were the same as Ji Xin's.
But... there's another factor involved.
He suddenly said, "Perhaps you don't know, but my family happens to have a stake in your father's company, making us a significant shareholder. I hope to be dealing with you in the future."
After a few seconds of silence, Ji Xin thought of his cheating father and frowned slightly, "Then maybe there's no hope for you."
"How much money can you make as a doctor? Can you give Wen Min a better life with that salary?"
Ji Xin didn't say anything.
"Your father's hospital is yours, and he only has you as his son. Why push the money away? To be honest, I believe in your ability, so I hope you can take over your father's hospital so that I can earn more."
Ji Xin glanced at Chen Miao coldly, "I didn't expect that you put money first."
Chen Miao looked at Lin Jiu not far away, curled his lips and smiled, saying, "Who would complain about having too much money? I will have a family to support in the future, and I should give my other half the best living conditions. This is what I should do."
Ji Xin lowered his head in thought and remained silent for a long time. Then he said, "I'll think about it."
Achieve the goal unexpectedly.
There was no pride or joy in Chen Miao's eyes, only calmness, as if everything was as it should be.
Suddenly, he noticed the movement in front of him, stood up slightly, and said to Ji Xin: "Let's go, we are both drunk, it's time to go back."
-
Wen Min at the table was a greedy drinker. He quickly drank most of the liquid in the bottle while the pedestrians on the river bank blocked his view.
There was still a small half left, and Lin Jiu shared some of it.
Both of them were very impressive. They were obviously a little drunk, but they sat upright and you couldn't tell anything.
It was not until the alcohol took effect, his head felt dizzy and he felt a little sleepy that he supported his head with his hands, looking very tired.
When Chen Miao and Ji Xin stood in front of the table, Wen Min began to have trouble recognizing them.
She pointed at Ji Xin and asked, "Where did this handsome guy come from?" The next second, when she was about to point at Chen Miao, Ji Xin grabbed her wrist and pulled her up, and a cold voice rang out: "Don't you recognize me?"
On a hot and humid night, Wen Min shivered from the cold and said with a smile, "I remember."
Then, she leaned on the broad back in front of her, resting her head on Ji Xin's shoulder and said, "Let's go back to sleep."
As for Lin Jiu on the other side, she was slightly sober and quickly recognized Chen Miao's face.
When Chen Miao bent down and asked her, "Do you recognize me?", she pursed her lips and smiled, then called out softly, "Chen Miao."
After hearing this, Chen Miao smiled and said, "It seems he is not drunk yet."
He held her waist with one hand and passed the other hand through her knees, lifting her into the air.
Lin Jiu naturally clung to his shoulders and back, rested his head on his neck, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness become dizzy.
On the way back to the hotel.
Ji Xin and Chen Miao walked in unison, slowly.
Ji Xin bent down slightly, holding Wen Min steadily to prevent her from being shaken. Wen Min rested her head comfortably on his shoulder, her long hair draped down her back, revealing her delicate face.
On the other side, Chen Miao stood very straight, the tight muscles in his arms slightly bulging as he held Lin Jiu firmly. He carefully placed the wide skirt that covered Lin Jiu's feet. She felt no sense of restraint as she was carried all the way. The small half of her face hidden in his neck was relaxed.
It's almost bedtime and there aren't many people there at night.
When passing an intersection, Ji Xin and Chen Miao waited quietly on one side of the zebra crossing for the green light, making their presence very strong.
There was no one around them, and there were only two or three people standing behind them.
Those people kept a distance from them tacitly, as if they didn't want to be a foil, but somehow they became their background.
The four of them looked like people who would appear in a movie.
All the idle people at the intersection looked around.
Pedestrians stopped at the opposite intersection, people in the passenger seat and back seat of the car, and traffic police standing guard.
Their gazes were like being drawn by invisible magnets, remaining motionless on the four people until they disappeared.
