It sounded like something was being smashed.
She remembered how Wan Ziyan had been drinking that night and felt a little worried, so she took the oil lamp and went to knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock~"
Startled by the knocking, Wan Qiqi got up from the floor, walked to the door, and asked, "Who is it?"
Even through the door, Wan Qiqi could smell the alcohol and couldn't help but frown.
Is he drinking?
Wan Qiqi then remembered that someone who came to Wan Ziyan to write Spring Festival couplets at noon hadn't taken the money, but had given her two jars of homemade wine.
She was still thinking about where those two jars of wine went while she was eating.
It turns out that Wan Ziyan carried it back to his room!
The sound just now was probably the sound of a wine jar breaking.
Wan Qiqi whispered, "Second Brother, it's me. If you're not asleep yet, could you come out and sit with me for a while?"

This is sweet glutinous rice wine she bought from the mall. It tastes very sweet and delicious, but it also has a strong aftereffect.
She wanted Wan Ziyan to finish his drink and get a good night's sleep, so that tomorrow would be a new year, a fresh start.
Wan Ziyan paused, spilling a few drops of wine from the bowl, and said, "I can't sleep, I don't want to sleep, and when I do sleep I dream about the past."
Wan Qiqi suddenly became curious and asked, "What were you doing before? I heard that you came back to Yunhe County with Master Wan when you were eighteen. Where were you before that? What were you doing?"
