"A toast to us?" Before the smell of alcohol in Shen Sisi's throat could even subside, the second glass was already on.
Xu Hongying smiled and nodded, glancing subtly at the wine glasses on the table: "This second glass is to wish you a happy marriage, a harmonious and blissful life together, many children, and a long and happy life together..."
Before Chen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng could catch their breath, Xu Hongying clinked her wine glass with her own.
"I'll do it, you guys hurry up."
Perhaps it was the effects of the alcohol, but Chen Sisi felt hot all over, and her face turned rosy.
This glass of wine was a blessing from her elders, so of course she couldn't refuse.
But... I wonder if Gu Chengfeng would mind.
After all, they were just a fake couple; the person he truly wanted to grow old with wasn't her.
Chen Sisi stole a glance at Gu Chengfeng and saw that he had no expression. He simply picked up his wine glass quickly and waited for her to clink glasses with him before she picked up her glass.
"Dry!"
No one noticed that Gu Chengfeng's hand was trembling slightly as he clinked glasses.
Chen Sisi took a deep breath, just about to tilt her head back and down the glass of wine, when she suddenly heard Xu Hongying's voice: "Wait!"
Xu Hongying held her wrist with one hand and Gu Chengfeng's arm with the other, effortlessly linking their arms together.
Caught off guard, Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng bumped heads together with a loud thud.
Ouch...that hurts!
Both of them winced in pain, breathing heavily with the smell of alcohol.
Looking at Gu Chengfeng so close to her, and the gleaming wine glass, Chen Sisi subconsciously looked away.
This is... a toast?
Gu Chengfeng was equally shocked. Then, he secretly moved closer to Chen Sisi's nose, his gaze fixed on her fair and rosy skin and her luscious lips.
His dark eyes were shimmering and burning, deeper and more dangerous than the night.
Chen Sisi subconsciously shrank her neck, feeling as if the other person was about to devour her at any moment.
Gu Chengfeng is drunk!
Chen Sisi blushed deeply and wanted to finish the drink quickly.
She dared not meet that aggressive gaze any longer, so she simply closed her eyes and swallowed the wine in one gulp.
Gu Chengfeng, like an attacking wild beast, leaned forward and took the wine glass in his mouth. With a slight tilt of his head back, the fiery wine slid down his throat.
This drink made them both very agitated.
They just got their marriage certificate and haven't had a wedding banquet yet, so this... should be considered a toasting ceremony!
After drinking the nuptial wine, Chen Sisi was hooked.
He would do everything in his power to hold onto her for the rest of his life, and would never let go.
After finishing her second cup, Chen Sisi started to feel a little tipsy.
This liquor must be at least 50% alcohol by volume. For someone like her who doesn't usually drink, being able to drink two glasses is already quite impressive.
However, Xu Hongying had no intention of letting them go.
After finishing the second cup, there's a third one to go.
Xu Hongying was very satisfied with the young couple's performance and continued to refill the glass: "Sisi, this glass is for you alone."
As Xu Hongying spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
“I was deceived by Yang Qiuxia before, thinking you were a vixen and did many wrong things.”
"Not only did you not blame me, but you also stood up for me all along. Sisi, thank you!"
As Xu Hongying spoke, tears streamed down her face. She insisted on toasting Shen Sisi separately to express her deep remorse.
Having said all that, it would be unreasonable for Chen Sisi to refuse again.
Seeing that she didn't raise her glass, Xu Hongying burst into tears: "You still won't forgive me, right? I knew it..."
Xu Hongying's temper is like a thunderclap; she can cry on cue or start raining on cue.
Seeing this, Chen Sisi panicked and stammered, "Mom, I didn't..."
"No? Then drink it!"
"A thousand words are contained in the wine."
"As the saying goes, 'Deep feelings are expressed in one gulp!' You won't even touch your glass, you must hate me to death..."
Xu Hongying then unleashed her full range of skills: crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.
He looked at the cup with a troubled expression, then steeled his resolve.
"Stop crying, I'll drink it, okay?" Shen Sisi really couldn't do anything with the old lady. She raised her glass to her lips when a large hand suddenly stopped her.
"I'll drink for you!" Gu Chengfeng could tell that she was not a good drinker and that her soberness was just a facade.
Lost in thought and feeling dazed, I sensed my wine glass being snatched away.
His calloused, rough hand gently squeezed her hand, and then she couldn't quite remember what happened.
All I remember is that Gu Chengfeng seemed to have drunk a lot more alcohol later on. Xu Hongying was really his mother, pouring him one glass after another.
Then they kept piling chives into their bowls.
Finally, it seemed that there was no more food on the table and the wine was all gone, before Xu Hongying "let them go".
Chen Sisi stood up, wanting to take care of Niu Niu, but found that Niu Niu had turned into two identical little cuties, and everything around her had become double.
She shook her head vigorously, intending to reach for a cup to drink some water, when suddenly her foot stepped on a wad of cotton, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.
Gu Chengfeng was also slightly drunk, but he remained sober.
Feeling the little woman beside him go limp, he swiftly reached out and scooped her up by the waist.
He got this drunk after just two glasses of wine...
Gu Chengfeng irritably put her in the quilt and went to pour her a cup of hot water.
Just as I stood up, I was suddenly grabbed by a pair of slender little hands.
Before he could react, the arm wrapped around his neck.
Under his gaze, a light kiss landed on the corner of his mouth, but it was a crooked kiss.
thump!
His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat. His eyes widened in shock, and he was completely at a loss for what to do.
"Sisi, you..."
The softness and warmth from before seemed to linger, etched onto his lips.
"Gu Chengfeng, you are so handsome..." Shen Sisi's eyes were dreamy.
The man in front of me was really handsome, with a thin face, an arrogant chin, and striking features that made him even more handsome than a movie star.
"You know what? You're the most handsome man I've ever seen!"
It's his mouth... it feels a bit prickly. Does he have thorns on his mouth?
Lost in thought, she wondered why Gu Chengfeng had thorns on his lips. Didn't it hurt him?
Gu Chengfeng froze on the spot, not daring to move.
Sisi is drunk!!!
"Chen Sisi, do you know what you're doing?" Gu Chengfeng asked coldly.
"I know, honey, it's just... your lips are too hard, they prick me!" Chen Sisi pouted and muttered.
A dark glint flashed in Gu Chengfeng's eyes.
Chen Sisi, you were the one who threw yourself into my arms, offering yourself up to me...
Gu Chengfeng's Adam's apple bobbed: "Oh, really?"
“Yes…” Shen Sisi stretched out a finger and poked the corner of his mouth.
There were some fine stubble sprouting on his chin, which pricked Chen Sisi's fingers.
Then he poked around haphazardly to the side: "That's strange, it doesn't hurt here."
Before Gu Chengfeng could react, Chen Sisi pouted and kissed him again...
