Lin Qingping: ???
How interesting! In this era, wouldn’t it be the case that men bitch their brothers bitch?
Lin Qingping smiled, picked up another glass, placed it in front of her, and filled it with wine. When no one knew what she was going to do, she tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Gu Juncheng, who was standing next to her, snatched her cup away and gently scolded her, "What are you doing?"
Lin Qingping smiled and said, "Secretary, I am relying on my young age to hope that you will not blame me or say that you are wrong."
The secretary was stunned, "What's wrong with me?"
"Don't you see it? Chen Xia, she just wants to drink, but you look down on women? You didn't even pour her a drink. Now, even my Chengzi's wine is being rushed to drink. Tell me, aren't you being inhospitable?"
Lin Qingping was indeed young at the time, and he said this jokingly, which made the branch secretary laugh out loud.
"That's right, that's right. I was not considerate enough! Come on, fill it up." The secretary smiled and filled Chen Xia's glass. Then he looked at Lin Qingping, "Then you..."
Chengzi's wife just said that we should not look down on female comrades, but the wine glass was taken away by Chengzi, so, should the wine be filled up or not?
Lin Qingping smiled, "Let me drink our Chengzi's wine!"
"What a joke! No more drinking!" Gu Juncheng covered the mouth of the cup with his hand and solemnly apologized to the branch secretary, saying that he really couldn't drink anymore.
The branch secretary certainly wouldn't force it, but Chen Xia was holding the glass of wine, and it would be awkward whether he drank it or not.
However, there were not only them at the table, there were also several village cadres. The branch secretary was very tactful and invited Chen Xia to join in, so it was quite lively.
Those who were having dinner together were all acquaintances in the village. Some of them grew up with Gu Juncheng, while others watched Gu Juncheng grow up. As they ate and talked, they began to reminisce about the past.
The one who spoke the most excitedly was Chen Xia.
"Do you remember when we were little and came to the Party Secretary's house to steal persimmons to eat? We were caught by Auntie and she wanted to spank us!"
"Yes, you are timid and scared!" a young man agreed with her.
"What else is there to say! Brother Chengzi is the best. He said he would fight for me, but you just ran away!" Chen Xia glared at the young man in a reproachful manner and gave Gu Juncheng a smile.
The young man laughed, "You and Chengzi are stupid. Auntie was just teasing us. She doesn't know how to fight, okay?"
Gu Juncheng also laughed when he heard this.
The depressed Gu Juncheng finally became talkative in this atmosphere of childhood memories, while Lin Qingping had nothing to say.
She had never participated in Gu Juncheng's childhood and youth.
She couldn't get a word in, and she didn't even understand what they were saying. In particular, Chen Xia kept mentioning how Gu Juncheng, the big brother, protected her when she was a child...
Even though she told herself that she was reborn and should be mentally strong, and it was not Gu Juncheng's fault, she was still gripped by a faint regret and a slight sourness in her heart.
When Chen Xia told Lin Qingping about how they went swimming in the river together wearing open-crotch pants, there was more wine in Lin Qingping's glass.
She drank one cup after another. Gu Juncheng must have been so absorbed in chatting with them that he didn't notice her, right?
Before I knew it, their conversation could no longer be heard, leaving only a buzzing sound.
That’s great, I finally don’t have to hear any annoying sounds!
However, everything in front of me began to shake.
She rubbed her eyes and felt dizzy. She couldn't help but grab Gu Juncheng's arm to steady herself. Finally, she simply leaned on his shoulder.
"Gu Juncheng... I want to go home..." She muttered softly, her heart and eyes felt sour, and her voice seemed to be mixed with wine, sticky and soft.
Then, there seemed to be a loud laugh.
An arm was placed around her waist.
She felt dizzy and tried to open her eyes, but she could only see many blurry images. They must be Gu Juncheng's friends, and they all seemed to be smiling.
Are you laughing at her?
"Juncheng..." When people are drunk, they seem to be particularly aggrieved. She called him aggrievedly. Who made him talk to his friends for so long and ignore her? His friends even laughed at her.
Then, she felt her whole body floating in the air, and her face was pressed against a solid and warm wall. She looked up and saw Gu Juncheng's eyes, which were as dark as the night sky, reflecting dots of light and shadows, like a river of stars.
She felt dizzy and tried to reach out to his eyes, smiling foolishly, "Juncheng, there are... there are stars in your eyes..."
Another burst of laughter.
Humph! Why are you laughing at her?
However, amidst the chaotic noises, she accurately heard Gu Juncheng's voice, but she couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
Then she moved away from the noise and felt the night breeze.
When the cool breeze blew, she felt her face was so hot.
"Juncheng...am I...am I drunk?" She still had self-awareness.
"You were not allowed to drink, but you drank secretly. I want to see how much you can drink."
Hmm? Is that Gu Juncheng speaking?
She looked up and saw that he seemed to be smiling.
Did he laugh at her too?
"Don't laugh at me!" She whined and started to act awkwardly, lying on his chest without showing her face.
It’s not far from the secretary’s house to the Gu family.
Gu Juncheng walked quickly and he arrived there in a short while while holding her in his arms.
I heard him say "I'm drunk" to someone, and then he carried her straight into their room and put her on the bed.
Lin Qingping felt very uncomfortable.
Hot and sticky.
She sat up from the bed again, "I want to... take a shower..."
Then he staggered out.
Gu Juncheng supported her, "How can you still..."
"No, I want to take a shower... If I don't take a shower... I will feel uncomfortable..." She pushed him away and continued to go to the bathroom.
The whole walk is an S line...
In the end, it was Gu Juncheng who helped her go.
When she got to the bathroom, she had to fetch hot water herself.
Gu Juncheng was frightened by her look and asked her to stand still.
How could she listen to reason when she was drunk? She just wanted to do it herself.
Gu Juncheng was so annoyed by her that he shouted out of habit, "Stop! Stand at attention!"
He was a rough man to begin with, and was used to shouting slogans in the army. His voice was loud, and his orders sounded more like thunder.
Even though Lin Qingping was drunk, he was shocked and just stood there motionless with his head down.
Gu Juncheng added the hot water to the right temperature, and when he called her again, he found that she was standing there obediently with her head down and not moving.
It was so noisy just now, why is it suddenly quiet?
He walked over and said to her, "Okay, you can wash now."
But I saw her shoulders shrugging.
Gu Juncheng: ???
I bent down and saw that he was crying...
