Chapter 607 The Rival Has Already Married
Chen Yongnian ultimately couldn't stop Wan Qiqi, and she got completely drunk.
Actually, it was because he didn't try his best to stop it.
At first, he didn't want Wan Qiqi to get drunk, but later he realized he couldn't stop her. And Wan Qiqi, who was drunk, seemed very relaxed, so he simply stopped trying to stop her.
People who have been suppressing their emotions for a long time need to release them, and perhaps this is how my wife releases hers.
Chen Yongnian could only lament that he had a low alcohol tolerance and couldn't drink to his heart's content with Wan Qiqi.
Therefore, he decided to work on improving his alcohol tolerance.
Wan Qiqi was unaware of Chen Yongnian's decision. Tormented by a headache from drinking, she didn't want to get out of bed at all and felt completely drowsy.
"Wife, I've made some honey water. Get up and drink some before you go back to sleep."
Honey water helps with hangovers; this was a tip Wan Qiqi taught Chen Yongnian, and he always remembered it.
"No." Wan Qiqi turned over, ignoring Chen Yongnian, and buried her head in the blanket.
Chen Yongnian sighed, somewhat helplessly, "Wife, drink some more and then sleep a bit more. We agreed to visit Master today, we can't sleep until tonight, can we?"
His tone was gentle, as if he were coaxing a child.
Chen Yongnian actually wanted to go by himself, but before returning to Hefeng Town, his wife said she wanted to go too, so he could only urge the person lying in bed to get up.
Wan Qiqi reluctantly threw off the covers, let out a groan, and sat up in bed.
Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were a bit messy, and she looked rather disheveled. Anyone who saw her would surely say that she had no image to maintain.
Chen Yongnian simply smiled, affectionately reached out and patted his head, then handed him the honey water.
Wan Qiqi hesitated for a moment because she hadn't brushed her teeth.
She then gave up struggling and took the water to drink.
"After I boil some water and take a bath, we'll go visit Instructor Xue." Wan Qiqi said, getting out of bed and standing on the edge of the bed looking for her shoes.
Startled, Chen Yongnian immediately went to help her up, bent down to pick up her shoes, and gestured for Wan Qiqi to sit down. "I'll go boil some water first, you can rest for a while longer, I'll call you when it's ready."
Wan Qiqi swung her dangling leg and nodded.
By the time Wan Qiqi finished washing up and had a meal, it was already late afternoon.
Chen Yongnian hesitated for a long time, wondering if it was improper to visit at this time.
Wan Qiqi placed the gift she brought for the visit in Chen Yongnian's hand and took his other hand as they walked out.
The martial arts school has a group of people graduating and a new batch of apprentices coming in, going back and forth, but few people have mastered the essence of the art.
Li Wei led the new disciples in practice for a while, but he seemed a little depressed, as if he had something on his mind.
Xue Jiang came out and happened to see this, so he waved to him.
"Master." Li Wei ran over, looking somewhat obedient, and his previous melancholy was gone.
“What your family said is right. At your age, if you haven’t established a career, you should get married. You shouldn’t be wasting your time at the martial arts school.”
Xue Jiang led Li Wei outside.
Li Wei had been studying for several years but had not yet graduated, not because he lacked skill, but because he didn't know what to do after leaving the martial arts school.
He was illiterate, so even if he looked for work, he could only do manual labor.
The wealthy families in Hefeng Town didn't lack guards for the time being, so he stayed at the martial arts school teaching new disciples, earning a meager wage that wasn't even enough to cover his family's taxes.
His family initially wanted him to learn martial arts so that he could join the army and make a name for himself, but later, some people from his village went and died on the battlefield, so they didn't want Li Wei to go.
We've dragged this out until now, and it's neither good to leave nor good to stay. So we want him to get married first to ensure the Li family has an heir.
“Master, I don’t want to get married yet, and I don’t want the girl to suffer with me.”
Li Wei believed that getting married required money, and he had nothing, so he dared not delay the marriage.
"You're mistaken. Once you have a wife and children, everything will be fine. Besides, a good girl is one who can endure hardship with you."
"No, I don't think so."
Li Wei rejected Xue Jiang.
After spending some time with Chen Yongnian and Wan Qiqi, he vaguely felt that many of his previous beliefs seemed to be problematic, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what the problem was.
"Master Xue, what are you talking about, such a good girl? I'd like to hear it too."
Wan Qiqi and Chen Yongnian stood side by side at the entrance of the martial arts school, their faces beaming with bright smiles.
When Li Wei saw Chen Yongnian, he ran over quickly and greeted him with a smile: "Senior brother, sister-in-law!"
Chen Yongnian nodded in agreement, walked up to Xue Jiang, and bowed respectfully: "Disciple greets Master."
When Xue Jiang saw Chen Yongnian, he was filled with a myriad of emotions.
Chen Yongnian was not his only apprentice, but he was the one he spent the least time with and visited the most frequently.
"No need for formalities, please come in and have a seat?" Xue Jiang smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay," Chen Yongnian replied.
Xue Jiang did not leave immediately, but instead looked at Wan Qiqi.
"Master Xue, you two go inside and talk. Li Wei and I will look around."
Wan Qiqi grinned, but after watching the two leave, her smile faded slightly. She tilted her head and looked at Li Wei, "What were you talking about with Instructor Xue?"
Li Wei recounted his family situation to Wan Qiqi, then sighed, "If only I could be as capable as my senior brother and have that kind of opportunity!"
His words were full of envy.
Wan Qiqi chuckled and shook her head. "He's not that great. Outside, he's just a nobody. He's just like you all. It's just that he's willing to change."
Li Wei looked somewhat confused, pondering the meaning behind Wan Qiqi's words.
Thinking back to Chen Yongnian of the past and looking at Chen Yongnian of the present, Li Wei seemed to understand something. "Sister-in-law, do you mean the people they associate with are different?"
"If you confine yourself to one place, no matter how hard you try, you will only be in that circle. Only by constantly contacting new things will you experience new changes and grow."
Li Wei agreed with Wan Qiqi's words, but he lacked the ability to break out of his original circle.
