The wine made them feel lingering and intoxicated.
The crisp sound of glasses clinking still lingered in my ears.
Gu Jingchun keenly noticed the sudden spark that flew in Shen Hechuan's eyes when he and Ye Wenxi locked eyes.
The flames came on fiercely, as if they were about to ignite the surrounding air.
It's unclear who raised their glass first, but the two of them went back and forth, drinking one glass after another.
The burning sensation of the strong liquor down their throats seemed unable to extinguish the fighting spirit in their eyes.
Gu Jingchun tried to dissuade them several times, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea; the two completely ignored him.
She frowned slightly, then snatched the wine glass and declared, "Since you're in such high spirits, let's drink to our hearts' content!"
Then, with a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Go and get a big bowl!"
In a short while, two large, rough porcelain bowls were placed on the table.
Shen Hechuan and Ye Wenxi each held a bowl, tilted their heads back and drank, the wine sliding down their lips and soaking their clothes without them even noticing.
Lanxin and Xiaomanman looked worried. Lanxin couldn't help but ask softly, "Miss, won't something bad happen if they keep drinking like this?"
Gu Jingchun shook his head slightly, a sly glint in his eyes: "It's alright, I diluted the wine with water, and once they've drunk most of it, I'll replace it all with plain water."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Jinxi jumped out from the side, her eyes full of admiration: "Mother is so smart!"
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Jingchun and the others had finished their meal and filled their stomachs.
Shen Hechuan and Ye Wenxi finally couldn't drink anymore.
The two looked at each other, both hiccuping, but neither was willing to put down their bowls prematurely.
They stared at each other, each seeing sparks crackling in the other's eyes.
In fact, during this period of time they spent together, the two of them had come to appreciate each other quite a bit and had a mutual respect for one another.
Shen Hechuan admired Ye Wenxi's talent and even considered having him serve as an official in the imperial court.
As Ye Wenxi watched Shen Hechuan delve into the lives of ordinary people and understand their hardships, he sincerely sighed that if this young man were to ascend the throne, he would surely be a wise and benevolent ruler.
But at this moment, this appreciation turned into a fierce confrontation at the dinner table, with neither side willing to back down first.
Seeing that the two had drunk quite a bit, Gu Jingchun walked over.
"Have you finished drinking?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Wenxi collapsed onto the table with a "thud," unconscious.
Gu Jingchun's heart tightened, and he quickly went forward to check on him. Only after confirming that he was alright did he breathe a sigh of relief.
This scene, however, made Shen Hechuan extremely jealous, and he gritted his teeth in secret.
You wicked Ye Wenxi!
He was clearly ready to fight him to the death just moments ago, but when Jing Chun arrived, he put on this act. He was so cunning and insidious.
Gu Jingchun, however, was filled with worry.
"Looks like he's quite drunk this time. Let's take him back to his room first."
Ye Wenxi was very well-behaved when she was drunk, just like she was asleep.
However, this also means that he often falls asleep as soon as he hits the ground.
On one occasion, he even fell asleep on the ground and got sick, almost causing him to miss a business deal.
From then on, whenever he got drunk, Gu Jingchun would watch over him and escort him to his room before he felt at ease.
The same applies today.
Just as she was about to follow and check the situation, Shen Hechuan suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Shen Hechuan's face was full of anger, and his voice carried a hint of grievance:
"Your husband is so drunk, and you're going to see other men off? Gu Jingchun, don't you have a heart?"
Gu Jingchun turned around abruptly at the mention of "husband," and upon seeing Shen Hechuan's gloomy face, she couldn't help but offer a dry laugh:
"I only said that because you have Tianji by your side..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tianji trembled violently and hurriedly said, "Tianji, I'll take my leave immediately."
With that, he vanished in a flash.
Gu Jingchun muttered helplessly.
"Your guards are quite quick."
But Shen Hechuan completely ignored the conversation. He directly took Gu Jingchun's hand and placed it on his burning cheek, feeling the warmth of her hand, his eyes burning with passion.
"I don't care, I want you to take me back."
Seeing Shen Hechuan acting like a spoiled child, Gu Jingchun's heart softened instantly, and he quickly nodded.
"Alright, alright, get up, I'll take you back."
Shen Hechuan swayed as he got up and landed directly on top of Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun quickly stopped his arm.
"Oh dear, you... are too heavy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the weight on his body suddenly felt much lighter.
Gu Jingchun looked up at him suspiciously.
"Shen Hechuan, are you really drunk?"
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"Yes, I'm drunk. You need to take me home so I can feel better."
Shen Hechuan spoke indistinctly.
Gu Jingchun's eyes darted around, and a mischievous smile crept onto his lips.
"Then tell me, how many women have you actually been with?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan chuckled softly, then suddenly leaned down and kissed Gu Jingchun's lips.
"Of course it's you."
"Only you."
Shen Hechuan's face was flushed, and the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned with a smile, as if they had a touch of charm.
"I love holding your waist the most; it's so slender, it feels like it could break with the slightest squeeze..."
Gu Jingchun's face flushed red instantly, and she quickly reached out to cover his mouth to prevent him from saying anything more explicit.
"Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Looking at Gu Jingchun's flushed face, Shen Hechuan felt a surge of heat in his heart. He chuckled and leaned down again, about to press his lips to Gu Jingchun's.
Gu Jingchun quickly pushed him away.
"Get up."
