The waiter skillfully opened the beer and poured it into two glasses for Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu.
“Come, let’s toast.” Yun Wu raised her beer glass at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu calmly raised her glass and toasted Yun Wu.
She felt that Yun Wu had something on her mind.
Yun Wu was usually a self-disciplined person. She was very strict with herself and rarely drank.
Lin Shanchu’s phone on the table vibrated.
Huo Xunzhou sent her a WeChat message.
Huo Xunzhou: [Have you had dinner?]
At that moment, a waiter came over with a plate of grilled food. Lin Shanchu took a photo and sent it to Huo Xunzhou.
Lin Shanchu: [ [Image] I’ve already eaten dinner. This is the third round.]
Yun Wu was really a big eater.
After the main meal, they went to the Gourmet Street and ate a lot of snacks. Now, they were here to eat barbecue.
Huo Xunzhou: […]
Yun Wu’s appetite had always been a mystery, and even Huo Xunzhou admired it.
Huo Xunzhou sent another message: [Send me the address. I’ll pick you two up after I’m done here.]
Lin Shanchu directly sent him the address.
When Lin Shanchu put down her phone, she looked up and met Yun Wu’s deep gaze.
Yun Wu asked, “Is it Third Brother?” ‘Yes.”
“Stop chatting with him. Let’s drink.”
Yun Wu poured her another glass of beer.
The dishes they ordered were served one after another.
The two of them ate and drank slowly, chatting casually.
When Lin Shanchu reached into the case to get the beer, he realized that there was only one bottle left.
Lin Shanchu was a little dumbfounded. Had she and Yun Wu drunk so much beer without realizing it?
No wonder Yun Wu stuffed the pig trotter into his nostrils when she was eating it.
She thought that Yun Wu’s hands were shaking, but it turned out that she was drunk.
Lin Shanchu did not take the beer. Instead, she looked up at Yun Wu and said, “I’ll stop drinking.”
Yun Wu’s face was red as she gestured with her finger and said, “Drink a little bit more.’
“No, Huo Xunzhou will pick us up later.” Lin Shanchu seriously rejected Yun Wu’s request.
Yun Wu muttered, “Third Brother is coming…”
Then, her mouth twitched. “I’m sorry, Third Brother. Boo-hoo…”
She was fine just now, but why did she suddenly cry?
“What’s wrong?” Lin Shanchu pulled out two tissues and leaned over the table to wipe her tears.
“If it weren’t for me, Third Brother wouldn’t have gotten into a car accident and sat in a wheelchair for so long. Boo-hoo… ”
Yun Wu was really drunk. Her speech was a little slurred and her voice was soft. Lin Shanchu was close to her, but she had to move closer to listen carefully to hear what Yun Wu was saying.
It turned out that she was talking about Huo Xunzhou’s car accident.
Was this incident related to Yun Wu?
However, Huo Xunzhou hid the fact that his leg was injured back then, so Lin Shanchu was unable to tell Yun Wu directly that he was pretending to be in a wheelchair.
“It’s all in the past,” Lin Shanchu said after careful consideration.
Yun Wu shook her head. “Third Brother advised me not to stay away from Huo Chaosheng, but I didn’t listen to him…”
Yun Wu was so drunk that she was muddle-headed and talked incoherently.
From her intermittent speech, Lin Shanchu could vaguely deduce how Huo Xunzhou got injured back then.
Huo Chaosheng probably wanted to target Yun Wu, so Huo Xunzhou went to save Yun Wu and got into a car accident.
Later, Huo Xunzhou pretended to be disabled.
When Huo Xunzhou rushed over, Yun Wu was still crying on the dining table.
Huo Xunzhou glanced indifferently at Yun Wu and sat down beside Lin Shanchu.
“How much did you drink?” he asked Lin Shanchu with a frown as he looked at the empty bottle on the table.
“A little,” Lin Shanchu said as she knocked on her glass and looked at Yun Wu, who was still crying with her head buried across the table. “Yun Wu drank more.”
The barbeque restaurant was already warm as the heater was turned on. In addition, Lin Shanchu had drunk a lot of beer, so her face was very red with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, wetting the small strands of hair on her forehead.
“I can tell.” Huo Xunzhou took a tissue and slowly wiped her sweat. “Don’t you care about Yun Wu?” Lin Shanchu blinked and held Huo Xunzhou’s hand.
“She ate so much. Crying will help with digestion.” Huo Xunzhou pushed her hand away, wiped her sweat and ruffled her hair. Only then did he divide his attention and look at Yun Wu across the table.
“What’s wrong with Yun Wu?”
“…She said she was sorry for you.”
Lin Shanchu noticed the look of realization flash across Huo Xunzhou’s face. It seemed that Huo Xunzhou already knew what was going on.
Huo Xunzhou turned to look at Lin Shanchu and asked for her opinion, “Let’s go home.”
“Alright.” Lin Shanchu nodded.
Huo Xunzhou reached out to help Lin Shanchu up.
Lin Shanchu waved her hand to indicate that she could stand up by herself. “Go help Yun Wu up.”
Huo Xunzhou sized her up for a moment. When he saw that she looked sober, he got up and went to help Yun Wu across the table.
Lin Shanchu thought that she was fine.
However, she felt the spins when she got up. She almost fell down when she lifted her foot.
Fortunately, when she bumped into the dining table, she quickly held onto the edge of the table and did not fall to the ground.
She knocked over the plates and glasses on the table with a loud thud.
Huo Xunzhou looked up at her helplessly.
Lin Shanchu blinked innocently as she said, “I’m not drunk, really. I’m just a little dizzy.”
After Huo Xunzhou expressionlessly put the jacket on Yun Wu, he reached out to Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu held his arm and walked over with small steps. Then, she hugged his arm tightly and leaned against him.
Huo Xunzhou was holding Yun Wu tightly with the other hand.
He was wearing thick winter clothes, so he grabbed the fabric at the back of Yun Wu’s waist and lifted her into the air.
Lin Shanchu poked her head out to look at Yun Wu on the other side. Then, she exclaimed, “Wow, Brother Xunzhou, you’re so amazing. You lifted her up with one hand…
Huo Xunzhou raised his hand slightly and squeezed Lin Shanchu’s palm. Then, he tilted his head slightly and warned her. “Do you want to be lifted up like that?”
Lin Shanchu quickly shook her head.
She was a female celebrity.
She did not want to be carried like that.
If she was photographed, she would be embarrassed. It would be a princess hug no matter what, right?
Satisfied with Lin Shanchu’s answer, Huo Xunzhou lowered his head and
Lin Shanchu became smug immediately.
She looked up at Huo Xunzhou and said, “You can’t bear to do it.”
They already walked out of the barbecue restaurant.
Huo Xunzhou helped Lin Shanchu to stand in front of the car. He then bent down and threw Yun Wu into the rear seat of the car.
After doing that, he walked up to Lin Shanchu and asked, ‘Who said I couldn’t bear to do it?”
As he spoke, he reached for Lin Shanchu’s waist with one hand.
Lin Shanchu frowned and shouted, “If you dare to lift me up, I’ll bite you to death!”
Huo Xunzhou smiled faintly.
The next moment, Lin Shanchu felt her entire body being lifted up..
