Chapter 113 A night of drinking and talking

A bottle of wine just filled two glasses. Ruan Mi pushed one of the glasses in front of Chen Zhihe.

Seeing the 500ml glass filled with wine, Chen Zhihe couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.

Ruan Mi didn't say anything. He raised his glass and touched it to Chen Zhihexu, then drank first.

Chen Zhihe picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The alluring and fragrant aroma hits your nose, and the wine tastes sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, fresh and astringent in one, which is very special.

It's not hard to drink, but for Chen Zhihe, drinking it dry is really unbearable.

So, Chen Zhihe got up, ran to the kitchen and rummaged around, but found nothing, let alone food or drinks.

Chen Zhihe said: "Just wait for me and I'll be back soon."

The shop in the community downstairs was not closed yet. Chen Zhihe bought a few bags of fennel beans and dried tofu and came back soon.

Opening the door, the room was dark.

"There's a power outage?" Chen Zhihe asked doubtfully. The elevator was still running when we just went upstairs.

In the darkness, Ruan Mi said: "I don't like to turn on the light, it's too dazzling."

"...".

Forget it, I have no choice but to follow her at this time.

Entering the study, Chen Zhihe took out the desk lamp.

After turning on the power, Chen Zhihe turned on the switch, and the living room was instantly filled with orange light, warm and soft.

"Isn't this dazzling?" Chen Zhihe asked.

Ruan Mi said "hmm" and said nothing.

Chen Zhihe went to the kitchen and took out two bowls, rinsed them with water, poured the fennel beans and dried tofu into the bowls, and brought them to the living room.

Pointing to the two bowls, Chen Zhihe said: "Dishes to go with the wine."

Ruan Mi glanced at Chen Zhihe: "How can you eat without chopsticks?"

Chen Zhihe was too lazy to pick it up again and said, "Use your hands."

After saying that, he twisted an fennel bean with his hands and threw it into his mouth. The aroma of fennel was mixed with the unique aroma of rice wine, which gave it a unique flavor.

Ruan Mi hesitated for a moment and was about to take the fennel beans with his hands when Chen Zhihe said leisurely: "I just washed my hands."

Ruan Mi glared at Chen Zhihe, stood up, ran into the kitchen, and came back after a while.

She didn't take the chopsticks and chose to wash her hands.

Under the dim light of the desk lamp, the two of them were twisting fennel beans and dried beans with their hands and drinking wine in silence.

Chen Zhihe drank slowly, while Ruan Mi drank quickly. A full glass of wine was filled with half of it in a short time.

Suddenly, Ruan Mi said: "It turns out that rice wine with fennel beans is really delicious. You know how to drink it."

Chen Zhihe was silent for a long time and said: "There are not even peanuts downstairs, only this."

In fact, he originally wanted to buy peanuts.

Ruan Mi did not answer Chen Zhihe's words and said to herself: "When I was a child, my dad liked to drink rice wine like this. Once, when I was in the first grade, my dad secretly gave me a sip while he was drinking.

When my mother came back, she smelled the smell of alcohol on me and had a fierce argument with him."

"Since then, my dad has never drank in front of me. But I know that there is always a bottle of rice wine hidden in the cabinet in his study."

"He has suffered from drinking all his life. My mother divorced him because of his drinking. Now because of his drinking, he is not too old and has a stroke."

Ruan Mi took a sip of wine and laughed to himself: "But even so, he still refuses to repent. He even secretly drank in the study today, and I caught him."

"This bottle of wine is the one he has been hiding. I originally planned to throw it away, but thinking that he had hidden it for so many years, it must be a good wine, so I was reluctant to throw it away."

Looking at Chen Zhihe, Ruan Mi said, "Do you think this is life?"

Chen Zhihe shook his head and said, "That's the thing. Everyone has his own destiny. Many things may seem chaotic, but in fact, most people are being led by their fate."

Ruan Mi chuckled: "I didn't expect you to believe this. Shouldn't you say that man can conquer nature?"

Shaking his head, Chen Zhihe said: "I don't know about other people, but for me, my fate is up to me and God."

If it were placed in the past life, Chen Zhihe might not believe it, but even something as bizarre as rebirth can happen, so it's hard for Chen Zhihe not to be in awe of fate.

"Do you remember Huang Huan? She was the girl we met once when we were eating on the second floor of the cafeteria."

Ruan Mi was stunned, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then asked: "Is that the girl who gave you flowers at the party that night?"

Chen Zhihe nodded, picked up the wine glass, and took a big sip.

"Why are you talking about her all of a sudden?"

"She died of leukemia, terminal disease."

Ruan Mi looked shocked. He died?

Chen Zhihe took another sip of wine and said, "Do you understand that feeling of powerlessness? It's the frustration of knowing that no matter how hard you try, you can't change the outcome. I once thought that I was a person favored by God, and I should be successful in disaster.

Xiang, this incident gave me a big blow."

Being able to be reborn is lucky enough in itself. Who can not be knocked unconscious by this huge pie and think that he is the protagonist of destiny?

Ruan Mi sighed and said, "That's really a pity."

After being silent for a while, Ruan Mi said: "However, you are right, it is indeed quite powerless. But everyone will die, and no one can escape it. It is just a matter of sooner or later."

Chen Zhihe looked at Ruan Mi in surprise: "So negative?"

Ruan Mi stared straight at the desk lamp and said quietly: "It's not that I'm negative. You know, on Christmas night, my father was drinking in the study and passed out. I panicked and called 120.

After he went to the hospital, the doctor asked me to sign a critical illness notice. At that moment, my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't even write my name."

"Of course I'm scared, but I can only think this way to convince myself to accept the possibility of death."

Chen Zhihe nodded. Unfortunately, he happened to be away that night.

"I wasn't afraid of death before, but now I am, even though I know people will die eventually. People have to find the meaning of their lives. My meaning is to change the world, even just a little bit. Otherwise, my life will be in vain.

I have failed to live up to God’s good intentions.”

After hearing Chen Zhihe's words, Ruan Mi suddenly laughed: "It sounds a bit silly, are you trying to comfort me?"

Chen Zhihe said: "No. I said that my destiny is up to me, so I have to work hard to reach the height I can, to protect what I want to protect, and to change what I can change. My destiny is up to God,

That’s when I’ve tried my best and still can’t change the outcome, and then I’ll willingly accept my fate. I didn’t even try, so why should I accept my fate?”

Ruan Mi chuckled: "If you are trying to persuade me, then you succeeded."

In fact, what she didn't know was that this was Chen Zhihe's true inner thoughts.

That is to say, Chen Zhihe said so much because he was drunk and just in time to talk.

"Here, cheers. No matter what, live in the moment."

Rolling up his sleeves, Ruan Mi leaned over and raised his glass to touch Chen Zhihe's wine glass.

After saying that, he drank the remaining half of the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Looking at the half glass of wine he still had left, the corners of Chen Zhihe's mouth twitched.

"Live in the moment, only one bite."
