"No! I...I don't drink!" Zhuo Ye was so frightened that he waved his hands when he saw Lian Xiao pouring three glasses of wine.
"Why?" Lian Xiao smiled in surprise: "No one has ever refused to drink my 'good wine'. Xiao Ye, please don't be so disrespectful. I will be sad..."
Lian Qin held Lian Zheng in one hand, and unceremoniously picked up a wine glass with the other hand, brought it to her lips and took a sip, saying with an intoxicated expression: "Yes! Zhuo Ye, give it a try! It's rare for this boy to be like this today.
Generous, these three years of aging wine, even my father is reluctant to take another sip..."
This is the first time Zhuo Ye has seen Lian Qin drink so politely. It seems that this "Kang Chun Liquor" is indeed a rare wine! It's a pity that she doesn't have such a good taste...
"I'm sorry...I really don't know how to drink..." Zhuo Ye said apologetically.
"How about just one drink?" Lian Xiao picked up a wine glass and handed it to Zhuo Ye.
"Don't talk about one glass. If I only take a small sip of your wine, I will get drunk...really..." Zhuo Ye said with a sad smile on her pretty face. Even if it's a light wine, she can drink it with just one or two glasses.
I can’t resist it, let alone the three years of aging...
"No way..." Lian Qin widened his eyes and said, "How bad is your drinking ability?"
"Really, really, what can I do to deceive you about this kind of thing!" Zhuo Ye's expression was absolutely honest!
Lian Xiao looked at Zhuo Ye for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said: "I really want to see what Xiao Ye looks like when he's drunk..." As he said that, he continued to hold up the glass and refused to put it down.
Lian Qin also nodded and smiled with bright eyes: "Yes! What are you afraid of? If you get drunk, you'll just live here at worst!"
"Please spare me, I look shameful when I'm drunk..." Zhuo Ye felt like crying...
"Is it that exaggerated?" Lian Qin lowered his head and sipped the wine in the glass again, and said with great enjoyment: "It tastes really good. It would be a shame if you don't drink it..."
Lian Xiao looked at Zhuo Ye's embarrassed look, and finally took back the wine glass in front of Zhuo Ye, and said lightly: "Since Xiao Ye doesn't want to drink, I won't make things difficult for you..." After that, he raised his neck and took the glass.
The wine poured into his mouth...
"Hey! Even if you brewed the wine yourself, you don't want to drink it like this! What a waste!" Lian Qin said to Lian Xiao in distress.
"I'm really... sorry... I didn't mean to offend you, I just... really don't have the luck..." Zhuo Ye said apologetically.
"It's okay, I understand..." Lian Xiao smiled at Zhuo Ye.
"Oh..." Zhuo Ye didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lian Xiao picked up another wine glass, brought it to his nose and sniffed it, then drank half the glass...
Lian Qin looked at this, then that, then shook her head, sighed softly in her heart, lowered her head and sipped her wine...
After the three of them were silent for a long time, Lian Xiao put down the wine glass in his hand, turned to Lian Qin and said, "Lian Qin, please take Zheng'er back to your room to sleep."
Hearing this, Lian Qin couldn't help but look up at Zhuo Ye...
She naturally heard that Lian Xiao had something to say to Zhuo Ye, and she could probably guess what he wanted to say. However, was Zhuo Ye ready to talk to him? Lian Qin was a little worried...
Zhuo Ye pursed his lips, and then nodded to Lianqin as if he had made up his mind...
Some things should be said sooner or later, and they must be made clear sooner or later...
When Lian Qin saw Zhuo Ye nodded, she drank the remaining wine in the glass, and then said: "Then you guys talk first..." After saying that, he hugged Lian Zheng, who was sleeping softly, and got up and left the pavilion.
…
After Lian Qin left, Zhuo Ye rubbed his sleeves nervously, waiting for Lian Xiao to speak...
Lian Xiao filled up another glass of wine, drank it slowly, and then said quietly: "Has Xiaoye always thought that I am a playboy who hangs around flowers all day long, regardless of his true career?"
"Ah?" Zhuo Ye didn't expect that Lian Xiao would use such a sentence as his opening remarks. After being stunned for a moment, he replied: "Everyone knows that Mr. Lian is a passionate young man who knows how to pity women and cherish jade..."
Lian Xiao was not satisfied with Zhuo Ye's answer. He looked at her intently and refused to give up and asked: "I don't care what the world thinks of me. I just want to know, Xiao Ye, what do you think of me? Tell me."
How about your innermost, truest and most direct thoughts?"
Zhuo Ye couldn't avoid Lian Xiao's questioning. After thinking about it for a while, he slowly said: "Before I met you in person, I had heard your name several times, and I really thought that you were just a stranger.
A playboy who has no skills, only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and is addicted to women all day long..." After a pause, he continued: "However, after meeting you in person, my impression of you has gradually changed a lot.
You are talented, smart, casual, free and easy. Although you are a bit romantic, you are still measured and you are a very good man..."
Lian Xiao's peach blossom eyes shone with a coquettish light. After looking at Zhuo Ye for a long time, she asked: "Does Xiao Ye like me?"
"..." After Zhuo Ye was silent for a long time, he whispered: "I'm sorry... I just like and appreciate you between friends, and it has nothing to do with the love between men and women..."
Although, she didn't mean to hurt anyone...
But when it comes to feelings, it’s better to be more straightforward and explain them clearly...
Being vague and ambiguous will only hurt people more...
Lian Xiao's beautiful eyes dimmed instantly, she picked up the wine bottle, poured herself wine, and drank several glasses in a row...
Zhuo Ye moved his lips, wanting to comfort and stop him, but he didn't know how to speak...
After a long while, Lian Xiao looked at Zhuo Ye deeply and said with a wry smile: "But I like Xiao Ye, I like you very much...I have liked you since the first time I saw you...I have never had feelings for any woman.
I have such a strange feeling for you, and every word I said to you in the past was serious... I also sincerely want to draw a second portrait for you, and I hope to draw a third, fourth, and third portrait for you.
Five paintings...you when you were unmarried, you when you were a young woman, you when you were middle-aged, you when you were old, keep painting...record your smiles and every frown, save you in each period...paint for you for a lifetime...
…”
"I'm sorry..." Zhuo Ye really didn't know what else to say besides saying sorry...
"Xiao Ye, can you give me a chance? I will make you fall in love with me..." Lian Xiao stared at Zhuo Ye affectionately and begged.
"I...I already have someone I like in my heart...I'm really sorry..." Zhuo Ye felt a little sour in her heart. Faced with such an affectionate confession, it was impossible to say that she was not touched at all. However, she had a small heart.
, if one person lives there, there is no room for the second person...
"Is it Prince Rui..." Lian Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth bitterly.
"Well, yes..." Zhuo Ye nodded.
"Are you sure you have a love for him, rather than being touched? He jumped off a cliff for you, and you walked through the desert together..." Lian Xiao paused, and then said: "Actually, he has done everything for you.
