The banquet held in the village was not particularly grand and magnificent, but it was extremely lively. The whole village gathered together to talk about all kinds of things, and from the moment the banquet started, the surrounding noises never stopped.
"This wine is our village's specialty. It takes at least ten years to brew! It would be a shame if Miss Pei didn't drink some!"
"That's right! Without a distinguished guest, we will never take out these goodies!"
"How does it taste, Miss Pei?"
Pei Xiqing chuckled: "It's delicious, mellow, and full of wine aroma. It's the most flavorful wine I've ever tasted."
The texture of the wine cannot be realized without the age.
I didn’t expect that this village could brew so many delicious wines.
After a few drinks, my cheeks felt hot as if they were on fire.
"That's fine! Come on! Let's keep filling up our glasses! Let's toast to Brother Duan and Miss Pei!"
"Yes! Brother Duan saved us before and gave us the antidote to the monster virus. He is a great benefactor to all of us. We really want to thank Brother Duan very much!"
Many people came over to toast her. She took two more sips, and someone wanted to pour her more, but the man next to her quickly raised his hand to hold down the bottle.
It was just one move, and no one dared to act rashly again.
The man raised his thin lips slightly, his gaze in the shadows was calm, yet seemed to conceal a deep indifference.
The villagers were so frightened that their hands shook and they almost dropped their wine glasses.
He said, "Drink less."
"Why?"
"Be careful of a headache tomorrow. If you can't get up, blame me again."
"Happy, look at everyone, so happy." Wherever his eyes looked, the villagers were all drinking happily. Many of them hugged each other, talking about something, and began to wipe each other's tears. After a while, they burst into laughter again.
There were also a few people who probably had some conflicts with each other due to a previous dispute over land in the village, but they shook hands and made peace after a few words.
During the time she had been in the apocalypse, she had felt depressed and lonely wherever she went. But after coming here, it was rare for her to see so many people with true nature, people who had not been deeply ingrained by the apocalypse mentality, and she couldn't help but feel happy.
It's like going back to before I transmigrated into the book.
When she was still a small and invisible actor, she would collapse exhausted after a day of filming on the set. When she turned around, she would see several stage control brothers coming over with lunch boxes and beer.
I was a little tired during that time, but in a sense, it was also the most carefree time.
"Hey, if you let me drink, I won't be drunk after just a few glasses. I might even drink more than you."
"Drinking too much is bad for your health. You just recovered not long ago."
Pei Xiqing rested her chin on her hand and looked at him lazily: "But there are still many people who want to come and drink with us."
"They won't come again."
"Why?"
"Because I won't let them mess around."
"Brother Duan."
"I am here."
Pei Xiqing moved closer to the man, leaving only a few centimeters between them.
Even though those clear eyes were a little drunken, they could still accurately find his sight.
"I want to stay here for a while longer, even longer if conditions permit. I like it here very much."
"Then we'll settle here temporarily."
She looked at the man's deep eyes that seemed to see through everything, raised her hand to adjust the silver wire frame for him and adjust the position.
He whispered, “But Brother Duan, you can’t do this.”
"What's the matter?" Duan Xiaolin raised his eyebrows leisurely.
Pei Xiqing held his face with both hands, almost kissing him at this distance.
The villagers nearby were all blushing and embarrassed by her actions, but they all turned their heads away in order to avoid Duan Xiaolin's terrifying look.
The horned snake released from Duan Xiaolin's fingertips quietly covered the eyes of those who wanted to peek.
