Since he was young, Lin Jie, who was physically restricted, had never touched a drop of alcohol.
Even when he ate seafood paired with yellow wine at Zhujia Port, he never took a sip. The yearning for this red wine came from Shen Lanruo's memory, Lin Jie understood.
He picked up the wine glass, professionally swirled it in his hand, and silently said, "Sister Lanruo, you really like red wine?"
Shen Lanruo replied, "Yes, red wine not only relieves fatigue but also softens blood vessels and aids blood circulation! Drinking some in moderation is beneficial to our health. When I was in the United States, I often drank some good red wine."
"Given your current health, you can drink a little red wine. Once you taste it, you'll find that although the wine is a bit astringent at first, it has a sweet aftertaste..."
Du Feixue stared at the dazzling red in the glass, somewhat dazed, and said, "Lin Jie, did you know? These past few days, the first thing I do when I wake up is pinch my thigh and talk to myself a bit."
"I'm afraid it's all just a dream!"
"Because over the years, I've had so many dreams like this! Sometimes they felt so real that I thought they were true!"
Du Feixue sighed softly, "Now that my voice has truly improved, I'm worried that it's just a dream, sigh..."
Lin Jie understood her behavior because he himself had similar experiences. For quite some time after his heart transplant surgery, he couldn't believe it!
"You'll get used to your voice," he advised gently.
Du Feixue nodded, raised her glass, and smiled: "Lin Jie, thank you, thank you for making my dream come true!"
Lin Jie also raised his glass, gently clinking it, sending ripples through the red wine, releasing its aroma!
He took a small sip, experiencing his first taste of alcohol in life.
The initial cool sensation, slightly bitter and astringent, gave way to a lingering sweetness, with a hint of oak aroma. Lin Jie felt very comfortable, like drinking plum juice under the scorching summer sun, dripping with delight through every pore.
Du Feixue raised her glass again, saying, "For not trusting you, I've been impolite and hope you can forgive my rudeness and willfulness!"
"I also know there's a problem with my personality. Maybe my family and friends are a bit indulgent because of my vocal defect, which makes me even more unlikeable!"
Lin Jie accompanied her with another sip of wine, saying, "Now that you realize this and your voice has improved, I hope you can change your ways and become a lovable person!"
Du Feixue instinctively disliked Lin Jie's old-fashioned, condescending tone, but she held back since the words had already been spoken!
After a moment of silence, Lin Jie couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "Is Zhao Mo your childhood friend?"
Du Feixue shook her head, saying, "Not really! His mother and my mother became friends a few years ago! As a result of our families' interactions, we naturally got to know each other!"
"I don't quite like his personality, but it seems he's fixated on me, and both sets of parents have a mind to matchmake us. Sigh... Let's not talk about it, let's drink!"
The two chatted as they drank, downing the glass quickly!
After this glass, Lin Jie, who still craved more, felt even more comfortable, his thoughts starting to drift, Du Feixue's voice echoing vaguely in his ears.
"Lin Jie, why is your face so red?"
"Is it red?"
Lin Jie put his hand in front of him and looked at it, suddenly startled, seeing his hand already flushed, assuming his face was the same.
Du Feixue stared at Lin Jie's face and eyes for a while.
Seeing his dazed look, Du Feixue couldn't suppress a smile, exclaiming, "Lin Jie, Lin Jie, you've gotten drunk!"
"My heavens, you got drunk on just one glass of red wine! How amusing and adorable."
"I'm not drunk!"
To prove himself, Lin Jie stood up, attempting to walk in a straight line, but his body wavered. If Du Feixue hadn't hurriedly caught him, he might have fallen.
Supported into the chair, Lin Jie felt the world spinning, his mind a bit fuzzy!
Preparing to call for help, Du Feixue took a few steps, paused, and turned back, sitting opposite Lin Jie, asking softly, "Lin Jie, how did you get drunk on just one glass of red wine?"
"I don't know, I'm not drunk, this is my first time drinking!" Lin Jie responded somewhat unclearly.
"Ah, your first time drinking, given your experiences, it's quite normal then!"
Du Feixue murmured, asking, "Do you still know who I am?"
Lin Jie nodded, a bit displeased: "Of course I know, you're Du Feixue! I'm not drunk, just a bit dazed, not losing my mind."
Du Feixue giggled, teasingly asked, "Then tell me, am I pretty?"
Without hesitation, Lin Jie replied, "Pretty!"
Like blooming flowers, Du Feixue beamed with a full smile. She thought a bit, then asked again, "Is An Kexin pretty?"
"Pretty!" Lin Jie's reply was just as immediate.
Du Feixue softly asked, "Then... who's prettier, An Kexin or me?"
"An Kexin!"
This answer displeased Du Feixue, especially its unexpected decisiveness.
She suddenly thought of a possible reason, her face slightly relaxed, she gently asked, "Lin Jie, are you still unhappy with me? In your heart, what kind of person am I?"
"An unreasonable lunatic!"
This answer infuriated Du Feixue, making her jump, shouting, "You're the lunatic, your whole family is lunatics..."
After a few shouts, seeing Lin Jie in a daze without much reaction, her anger subsided, she giggled, muttering, "Arguing with a drunk, maybe I am a bit crazy."
"Here, let me help you to your room to rest a bit!"
"Du Feixue!"
Just as Du Feixue lifted Lin Jie by the waist to support him, a shout, filled with resentment and unwillingness, rang out.
She looked up to see Zhao Mo standing at the dining room entrance, holding an empty wine bottle.
His previous elegance was gone, his glasses missing, eyes bloodshot, hair messy, and the light-colored shirt stained with red wine.
Watching Zhao Mo stagger towards her, Du Feixue frowned, displeased: "Zhao Mo, you're drunk!"
"I'm not drunk!"
Zhao Mo shouted hysterically, "For years, I've devoted myself to you. Even a stone should warm up, yet this is how you treat me. I left briefly, and you're in someone else's arms."
"I'll kill you pair of adulterers!"
Saying this, Zhao Mo smashed the wine bottle against the dining table!
With a crisp sound, the bottle base shattered, Zhao Mo held the other half and charged forward.
Though his mind was foggy, Lin Jie instinctively sensed danger and stepped forward to block Zhao Mo!
"Don't mess around!"
With this angry shout, Lin Jie felt his collar tighten and his waist lifted, throwing him into a spin!
Mid-air, Lin Jie suddenly cleared up for a moment, realizing something he had overlooked.
"Damn, I forgot she's trained in martial arts!"
