After Yuan Zhou said that, the night wind suddenly blew past, causing the bamboo forest to produce a rustling sound. Yuan Zhou’s voice was obviously very clear, but Ling Hong just felt that he was a little drunk after drinking too much yogurt and didn’t hear what Yuan Zhou said at all.

“There was wind just now, so I didn’t hear what you said.” After a long time, Ling Hong found his voice and said with a dry tone.

“No, you heard it.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and said with a solemn expression,””This is why she can’t agree to your request.”

Ling Hong stared at Yuan Zhou without blinking. However, the expression on Yuan Zhou’s face never changed. He just looked at Ling Hong solemnly and earnestly.

He couldn’t even find a single trace of a joke.

“Did she ask you to tell me?” Ling Hong turned his head and asked in a low voice.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

The atmosphere became stagnant. Ling Hong lowered his head and didn’t say anything while Yuan Zhou’s mind was empty. He looked straight ahead, as if he was giving Ling Hong space to think.

After quite a while, maybe five minutes, maybe ten minutes, or even longer, Ling Hong finally raised his head.

Yuan Zhou turned his head and looked at him. Ling Hong’s eyes were a little red, but his face looked natural and not as stiff as before.

“Come, let’s drink.” While saying that, Ling Hong directly reached out his hand and picked up the big cup on the table without caring about anything else.

“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything unnecessary. He just picked up another cup and then knocked it against Ling Hong’s Cup firmly.

The glasses made a crisp sound when they touched. The orange wine inside shook for a moment, and then white bubbles appeared.

“Let’s drink till we’re drunk tonight. I’ll do it, you can do whatever you want.” After Ling Hong said that, he raised his head and started to drink.

Ling Hong poured the liquor down his throat continuously. He was like a Thirsty Camel in the desert drinking water, let alone tasting the liquor.

After a while, a full pitcher of beer went into Ling Hong’s stomach.

“Ha.” Ling Hong let out a sigh and then said,”Straightforward.”

However, not long after, he heard Ling Hong say again,””Compass, your draft beer is so bitter today, it’s as bitter as Coptis.”

“Because Humulus lupulus are bitter.” Yuan Zhou drank a mouthful of beer primly and then said.

“No wonder it’s so bitter.” Ling Hong said with a smile.

“It’s normal,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Haha, I’ve finished this beer. It’s time for this bamboo liquor.” Ling Hong pointed at the bamboo liquor filled with liquor and asked with a smile.

“Yes, I am.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Usually, when I buy this pot, there will always be people sharing it with me. It’s rare that there’s no one today. You’re not allowed to snatch it from me. You promised to treat me to it.” Ling Hong reached out his hand and took the wine pot directly.

“No, I’ll drink this.” Yuan Zhou raised the zhajia in his hand and said.

“That’s good. I’m going to try this bamboo liquor by myself today. ” While saying that, Ling Hong picked up the wine pot and prepared to drink.

However, before he drank it, Ling Hong said, Chen Wei will definitely be very envious of me.

After saying that, Ling Hong drank up the bamboo liquor in one breath.

This bamboo liquor was different from other white liquor that had a spiciness that entered the throat. It tasted like pear juice, smooth and delicious.

Normally, it would be an excellent experience. But now, it was too bland for Ling Hong.

Ling Hong smacked his lips and then said,””It tastes like pear juice. It’s too light.”

“The bamboo liquor is strong after the start, and it’s as smooth as pear juice when it enters the mouth. This is its specialty.” Yuan Zhou said earnestly with an unchanged expression.

“But the feeling of drinking it in one mouthful is really good. I remember that one of the five great dreams posted by someone on the internet is to drink it in Yuan Zhou’s pub.” Ling Hong grinned again and said.

“A dream will always be a dream.” “The feeling of gulping down several thousand Yuan in one mouthful is really not bad,” Yuan Zhou teased.

“What’s wrong? It’s only this little and you’re already feeling heartache? That won’t do, you promised that I’d be allowed to drink from the wine cellar tonight. ” Ling Hong said.

“Don’t worry, there’s still red wine. ” Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and said.

“I’ve already seen it. This red wine is good stuff. ” While saying that, Ling Hong took the red wine and started to pour it directly.

This time, Ling Hong wasn’t as particular as he used to be when drinking red wine. He only poured the bottom of the glass and tasted it slowly. This time, he filled the wine glass to the brim generously and then stopped.

“Take it slow, the night is still long.” While saying that, Yuan Zhou pushed the side dish beside his hand towards Ling Hong.

“Indeed, the night is still long.” “So the wine you have is not enough for me to drink.” Ling Hong nodded and continued.

“It’s fine. I still have wine in my cellar.” Yuan Zhou said.

“That’s fine. Hurry up and bring more. There are only a few bottles left on the table. It’s not enough.” Ling Hong pointed at the red wine on the table and said.

Yuan Zhou turned his head and took a look at Ling Hong. Then, he put down the cup in his hand and said,””Alright, I’ll go get some wine. I’ll be back in a while.”

“Go, go, there’s not enough to drink at all.” Ling Hong waved his hand while gulping down the red wine.

The Scarlet liquor soaked into Ling Hong’s white sweater along his neck. However, Ling Hong didn’t care about it at all. He just drank it wildly and unrestraint.

Yuan Zhou stood up and took a look at Ling Hong. Then, he turned around and went downstairs.

Yuan Zhou walked down the stairs at a moderate pace, but when he reached the first floor, he slowed down and walked to the cellar step by step.

On the second floor, when Ling Hong couldn’t hear Yuan Zhou’s footsteps anymore, the corner of his mouth immediately turned stiff. The smile he had just now disappeared as well.

“Peng”, the muffled sound of Ling Hong’s palm hitting the stone table was heard.

The joints of Ling Hong’s fingers were well-defined, big and dry. He looked like he had been living in luxury. After the punch, the joints immediately became red and swollen. However, Ling Hong looked much better.

“Dammit, how could this be?” Ling Hong muttered to himself,”I don’t believe it. It’s impossible. How can it be possible?”

“Grandpa Jia, this is fake, right?” Ling Hong suddenly raised his head to look at the dark night sky and muttered to himself.

“I don’t believe you.” Ling Hong mumbled that he didn’t believe him, but he directly picked up the sobering pot and started to pour the liquor into his mouth.

This time, the Scarlet liquor was poured into Ling Hong’s mouth continuously, flowing down his throat into his stomach.

Ling Hong coughed because he had poured too much into his mouth.

In the pitch-black night sky, the second floor was so quiet that even the sound of the wind had stopped. Only Ling Hong’s loud coughs could be heard.

After quite a while, Ling Hong calmed down. He took the remaining half glass of red wine and drank it up again. Then, he filled his glass and sat on the stone bench, waiting for Yuan Zhou.

At that time, Yuan Zhou came up,””I’ve brought two more bottles. It should be enough. After all, there are so many dishes to go with wine. ”

“I think you’re so stingy, compass. You even took the food and wine into your stomach.” Ling Hong said.

“Of course it’s counted. We can’t waste it.” Yuan Zhou said primly.

“Okay, okay, okay. I know you’re compass. You don’t care about others” feelings at all. ” Ling Hong waved his hand and then picked up the wine glass to toast to Yuan Zhou again.

Yuan Zhou was also straightforward. He put down the red wine and picked up the cup to greet them. The two cups made a clear sound again.

Ling Hong drank the red wine in his glass again in one gulp while Yuan Zhou drank a big mouthful of the draft beer.

During the process, Yuan Zhou saw the joints on Ling Hong’s hands that had become red and swollen with a little greenish-black color. However, he didn’t ask anything and just accompanied Ling Hong to drink seriously as if he didn’t see anything.

If Ling Hong spoke, he would accompany him. If Ling Hong drank, he would let him eat some dishes that went with the wine before drinking. However, he wouldn’t stop Ling Hong from drinking too much.

Just like that, one of them slowly sipped beer while the other continuously chugged down red wine.
