Chapter 154 Drank Too Much

Yuan Li, after all, was a leader, and her ability to react on the spot was strong. Seizing the opportunity as she bent down, she fastened her button, then acted as though nothing had happened, placing the slippers in front of Ge Dongxu and saying, "Put on the slippers, they're cooler."

Seeing that the slippers were new, Ge Dongxu felt a slight warmth in his heart.

"It's my first visit, and I didn't know what gift to bring you, so I brought a jar of medicinal wine I mixed myself. Drink a little before you sleep each day, and I guarantee it will keep you looking younger," said Ge Dongxu as he put on the slippers and entered the house, placing the jar of wine on the table.

"Really? Then this gift is rather precious; I must store it well," Yuan Li said as she purposefully placed the jar of wine in a cabinet in the kitchen.

"It's nothing fancy, just some regular baijiu with a few herbs, but if you think it's good, I'll mix some more for you next time," Ge Dongxu said.

"Thank you, Dongxu. Have a seat, I still have two dishes to finish in the kitchen," Yuan Li said, thanking him, then hurried off to the kitchen.

"I'll help too," Ge Dongxu followed and said.

"Off with you, how can I let you help in the kitchen at my house? Just sit over there," Yuan Li quickly pushed Ge Dongxu back.

Ge Dongxu had no choice but to return to the living room, looking around somewhat bored, but luckily Yuan Li soon had the dishes ready.

Looking at the little table full of dishes, there were braised carp, sweet and sour spareribs, boiled shrimp...

Ge Dongxu was a bit taken aback and said, "Sister, do I look like I can eat that much?"

"You're at the age where you're still growing; of course, you should eat a lot. I don't care, I've cooked these dishes, and if you don't eat them all, you're not leaving tonight," Yuan Li said, looking at Ge Dongxu with a determined look that did not allow him to leave until he finished eating.

"Alright, I'll try my best," Ge Dongxu reluctantly agreed, nodding.

"What drink would you like? Is it the herbal tea from your own factory, or Coke? Sprite?" Yuan Li finally smiled as she saw Ge Dongxu nodding.

"With such good food, how can we not have some wine? Let's drink a little," Ge Dongxu said.

"Are you old enough to drink?" Yuan Li asked Ge Dongxu.

"Have you ever seen someone my age getting a loan from the bank?" Ge Dongxu countered with a question.

"Lol, that's true, you can't just be seen as a typical high school student!" Yuan Li was slightly startled, then she laughed and said, "Let's try the medicinal wine you brought, then."

Yuan Li got up to fetch two wine cups, then brought out the jar of wine Ge Dongxu had brought, pouring a small cup for each of them.

"Hmm, this wine is strong, let's have some dishes first," Yuan Li took a sip, then stuck out her tongue slightly and fanned herself with her hand.

Ge Dongxu was taken aback by her gesture, finding it particularly enticing.

Seeing Ge Dongxu a bit dazed, Yuan Li then realized it was somewhat problematic to stick out her tongue in front of a young boy, rolled her eyes at Ge Dongxu, then picked up a piece of sweet and sour rib and put it in Ge Dongxu's bowl, saying, "What are you staring at, didn't you see enough just now?"

Yuan Li's words made Ge Dongxu blush furiously. He hurriedly stuffed the sweet and sour ribs into his mouth, prompting Yuan Li to burst into giggles.

After eating some food, they started drinking.

As they drank, Ge Dongxu found out that today was actually Yuan Li's birthday, and, having handled the beverages factory's loan issue efficiently, she was likely to be promoted to branch manager in two months. Thus, she had specifically invited Ge Dongxu to celebrate.

"Sister Li, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had, I would have brought a cake," Ge Dongxu said, feeling a bit resentful.

"At my age, every birthday brings me closer to becoming an old yellow-face. What's there to celebrate with a cake? Come on, drink up. Today, let's drink till we're merry since it's my birthday and I might get promoted," Yuan Li said.

Ge Dongxu thought that it was too late to get a cake now, so he just raised his glass to clink it with Yuan Li's.

People say that alcohol is the best way to provoke nostalgia. The medicinal wine was strong, and after a few cups, Yuan Li's face turned red, and her mind started to recall recent events, making her emotional.

Once the emotions kicked in, she drank even more cheerfully.

At first, Ge Dongxu hadn't realized what was happening, and he drank each time Yuan Li clinked glasses with him. But after a while, he noticed something wasn't right. Seeing Yuan Li filling their cups again, he hurriedly said, "Sister, that's enough drinking, let's eat some food."

"It's fine, I can hold my liquor," Yuan Li said with a flushed face.

"I know, but drinking too much is harmful to your health. Let's not drink any more today," Ge Dongxu said.

"Isn't this medicinal wine? It's fine. Come on, keep me company and drink some more. It's not every day your sister has a birthday and gets a promotion, let's celebrate!" Seeing Ge Dongxu reluctant, Yuan Li simply sat next to him, grabbing his arm and shaking it.

Unable to resist her, Ge Dongxu thought since it was her house, drinking too much would at worst mean sleeping it off, so he continued drinking with her.

"It's so hot! So hot!" After drinking quite a bit, Yuan Li felt a surge of heat throughout her body and subconsciously unbuttoned her collar.

Seeing this, Ge Dongxu quickly stood up and said, "Sister, that's enough, I really have to go."

As Ge Dongxu stood up, Yuan Li also sobered up a bit, quickly standing and saying, "I'll see you out."
