"What you think."

"I didn't mean to."

Song Che looked at her and suddenly laughed. "You even bought the wine, and you still say you didn't think about it? You're just pretending to be stupid."

Xia Li lowered her head, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her skirt. After a while, she looked up and said, "That's what that bad woman said."

"what did she say?"

"You're a quiet type, so you need to take the initiative."

Song Che was stunned for a moment.

A silent, unassuming person?

he?

He felt he talked a lot.

What else did she say?

Xia Li thought for a moment, "And then there's the saying 'forcing oneself upon someone.'"

Song Che's face darkened. "She taught you this?"

Xia Li nodded. Song Che took a deep breath, thinking that although the bad woman was gone, her influence remained. And it was quite significant, so significant that Xia Li wanted to buy him alcohol and get him drunk.

"Xia Li, you don't need to get me drunk."

Xia Li looked at him.

"Just tell me directly."

Xia Li thought for a moment, "Then do you agree?"

Song Che thought for a moment, then said, "I disagree."

"why?"

“Because it’s not the right time yet,” Song Che said. “We’re not married yet, we’re not ready, we’re not…”

“I don’t need to prepare,” Xia Li interrupted him. “I’ve been waiting for you for a hundred years.”

Song Che was speechless again by those words.

He found that every time Xia Li said "I've waited a hundred years," he didn't know what to say.

A hundred years is too long.

He grew up to the point that he felt anything he said sounded insignificant.

"So how do you plan to get me drunk?" he asked.

Xia Li took the wine out of the wardrobe—two pink cans. “These.”

Have you ever drunk alcohol?

"I had a little last time."

Do you know your alcohol tolerance?

"Better than you."

Song Che took a can and glanced at the alcohol content.

At this strength, one bottle would probably make you dizzy.

"Are you planning to get one can each?"

Xia Li nodded.

"and then?"

"Then..." Xia Li thought for a moment, "Then you fainted, but I didn't, so I..."

She didn't finish speaking, but Song Che understood.

"You don't think you'll get dizzy?"

"I can hold my liquor well."

"how do you know?"

Xia Li thought for a moment, "I guessed."

Song Che was so angry he laughed.

"Okay, you drink it tonight, one can, and see if you get dizzy. If you don't, then we'll talk."

Chapter 157 You should say, "Wife, goodnight."

A cool breeze was blowing, and the night was less sultry, but the girl's restlessness made up for it; she wanted to try things she couldn't try before.

Drink baijiu (Chinese liquor).

This alcohol content could knock out a hundred of hers in one go, but she's heard that alcohol emboldens the timid, so she really needs it. Zhang Shushu is happy today and wants to drink some too, while Tao Xiang is the only one present who is forbidden from drinking.

Although Tao Xiang was very interested in alcohol, she was too young, so Zhang Shushu only allowed her to drink beverages.

Xia Li rolled up her sleeves, boldly pulled out a can of baijiu, and filled a small bowl for herself.

"Drink slowly," Song Che said, not stopping him.

"Not spicy." Xia Li picked up the bowl to test it.

"It's not a matter of whether it's spicy or not, it's that it will make you dizzy."

Xia Li ignored him and took another sip. After drinking more than half of the can of wine, she began to feel her face getting hot. She touched her face with the back of her hand; it felt warm.

Xia Li's face turned as red as if she had heatstroke.

Before anyone else could speak, Xia Li shook her head, "No, it's hot."

Song Che shook his head and turned the fan to blow on her.

He wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Xia Li finished the rest of the wine, hid the empty can under the table, and then opened a second one.

Song Che reached out and stopped him, "Don't drink anymore."

Xia Li dodged his hand, "I'm not dizzy."

"You're blushing."

"Hot."

"You're starting to speak slower."

"No." Xia Li said these two words, and it was indeed a few beats slower than usual.

Song Che looked at her, and she looked at him; they stared at each other for three seconds. Xia Li suddenly laughed, "Song Che, you have two heads, that's so strange."

Song Che knew she had fainted.

Xia Li picked up the second can of wine and took another big gulp. This time, she choked and coughed twice as she swallowed.

Zhang Shushu looked over. "What's wrong?"

Xia Li waved her hand, "It's nothing, I just choked on the water."

Song Che snatched the second can of wine from the side, saying, "Don't drink anymore, you're drunk."

Xia Li shook her head, "I'm not drunk, I can still drink."

She reached for the jar of wine, but couldn't reach it. She reached again, but still couldn't reach it. She looked at her hand, then at the jar of wine, and suddenly said, "My hand isn't long enough."

Song Che placed the wine behind him.

"Then I'll have a Coke." Xia Li took the Coke, poured herself a glass, took a big gulp, and frowned after finishing. "It's not sweet."

“Cola is sweet,” Song Che said.

"Not sweet, but spicy."

Song Che knew she was completely dizzy; how could cola be spicy?

Zhang Shushu also noticed something was wrong and came over to touch Xia Li's forehead. "Why is your face so hot? Do you have a fever, or did you drink a little something just now... and that's why?"

Xia Li shook her head, "I don't have a fever, I just drank alcohol."

Zhang Shushu paused for a moment and looked at Song Che.

Song Che pointed to two empty cans under the table. Zhang Shushu bent down and glanced at them; one was pink, and the other was also pink.

Zhang Shushu didn't ask any more questions. She turned around, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to Xia Li, saying, "Drink some water to sober up."

Xia Li took the cup, took a sip, put the cup down, and then suddenly stood up.

She stood firmly, but her eyes were fixed on Zhang Shushu for several seconds. "Auntie, you're so kind."

Zhang Shushu was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

Xia Li didn't answer. She walked up to Zhang Shushu and hugged her tightly, burying her face in Zhang Shushu's shoulder. Zhang Shushu was startled by the hug, her hands hovering in mid-air. After a while, she lowered her hands and gently patted Xia Li's back.

"This kid has had too much to drink."

Xia Li said in a muffled voice, leaning on her shoulder, "I didn't drink too much. I just wanted to say, you're so kind. Song Che is kind, Uncle is kind, Tao Xiang is kind. You're all kind."

Zhang Shushu patted her back, just like she was hugging her own daughter.

"Okay, okay, everything is fine."

Tao Xiang, who was watching from the side, ran over and hugged Zhang Shushu's leg, "Mom is good too!"

Zhang Shushu was amused by her, "You've had too much to drink too?"

Tao Xiang shook her head, "I didn't drink, I just think it's good."

Xia Li released Zhang Shushu, took a step back, and stood as steady as ever, but her eyes were even more fixed.

She looked at Song Che, then at Zhang Shushu, and suddenly said, "Auntie, I like Song Che."

Zhang Shushu smiled, "I know."

Xia Li added, "I like it very much."

Zhang Shushu nodded, "I know too."
