Chapter 26
Such a beautiful girl?
"Okay, okay, okay!" Liu Dong waved his hands repeatedly. "I don't know if she saw it or not. I was too anxious at the time and didn't have time to think about that."
After saying that, she didn't forget to add insult to injury: "But the moonlight was incredibly bright that night. If she had actually glanced at it, she would have seen everything clearly."
"Bang!"
Jia Dongxu slammed his hand on the table: "Liu Dong, don't go too far!"
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you!" Liu Dong shrugged. "Anyway, we kept walking until we finally reached the village entrance."
Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief: It's finally over.
As a result, Liu Dong's next sentence completely stunned him:
"Guess what? Qin Huairu's legs went numb from the bumpy ride, and she had a hard time getting off the bus—I had to carry her off the bus."
"ah???"
Jia Dongxu's mind went blank, and his vision went black.
That son of a bitch!
Not only did he make my wife wash his underwear, and not only did he urinate in front of her, but now he's even hugging her?
It's one thing to touch her with my hand, but she also touched my butt, and now she's even hugging me as we got off the bus?
I……
I curse your ancestors!
"Wow—" A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, splattering the ground red.
There was real bleeding.
Bright red, scalding hot blood.
"Dongxu, don't get agitated!" Liu Dong quickly helped him up. "I really didn't mean anything by it! I was just lending a hand. We have to be ethical, we can't be thugs, right?"
"Look at you, you're vomiting so much blood, you can't even drink alcohol anymore."
"Why don't you go back and rest first? I'll treat you to a good drink another day."
Liu Dong tried to persuade him while pushing him out the door.
Jia Dongxu was no longer in the mood for drinking.
My heart was already shattered into pieces.
Her mind was filled with images of Qin Huairu and Liu Dong cuddling under the moonlight, and the scene of her secretly watching him urinate.
There's actually nothing there.
It was all my own idea.
"Hahaha—" The room erupted in laughter.
Yan Jiecheng's eyes lit up: "Brother Dong, you really hugged him?"
Liu Dong nodded: "Mm."
He added seriously, "But don't get the wrong idea. Brotherhood transcends gender; it's the kind where you'd trade your life for someone's.
Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangqi, Xu Damao, and the others practically had their eyes glued to Liu Dong.
That's incredibly lucky!
I wish I had that kind of luck.
If I had been there that day, I would have won over Qin Huairu long ago!
Tsk tsk tsk... Just thinking about it is so satisfying!
Thinking back to when Qin Huairu first came to the compound last week, her face was so tender it looked like you could pinch water out of it, and she walked with a swagger, making several men stare at her.
Yan Jiecheng swallowed hard, his throat bobbing, like a hungry dog seeing a bone.
"Hehehe... Brother Dong!" Liu Guangqi licked his lips, his face full of flattery. "Next time something like this happens, can you let me have it? I'll remember your kindness for the rest of my life! I'd even let Jia Dongxu stay a bachelor for life!"
"Hahaha!" A group of people laughed so hard they were doubled over.
Just then, He Yuzhu came out of the kitchen carrying several plates of food.
"Brother Dong, the food's ready! Have a taste—this is fried peanuts!"
"This is scrambled eggs with scallions!"
"The braised pork is here!"
"Fish-fragrant shredded pork!"
"And finally, we have steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers as the grand finale!"
"Another bowl of seaweed soup, please. Five dishes and a soup, all set!"
Liu Dong picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, chewed it twice, and nodded: "Not bad. Who in our courtyard can compare to Zhu Zi's cooking skills?"
"Hehehe..." He Yuzhu wiped his sweat and said cheerfully, "Brother Dong, I made an extra one. You can keep it and have a hot meal this afternoon."
"middle!"
Liu Dong waved his hand: "Everyone, start eating! Zhu Zi, don't stand there, go wash your face and sit down, I'll go get the wine!"
After saying that, he went into the small kitchen converted from the side room, reached out and stuffed all the food He Yuzhu had made into the [Magic Wine Cellar], and casually threw it into the [Time Vat].
This way, the food is like it's on pause; whenever you take it out, it's still piping hot, just out of the pot.
After cleaning up the food, he took out a few jars of ordinary pure wine from the system.
"Come on, brothers—drink my drink tonight!"
As soon as the lid was lifted, a rich and mellow aroma instantly filled the air.
"This liquor is quite strong, everyone take it easy, don't overindulge!" Liu Dong reminded everyone with a smile. "Four ounces each, be mindful, it'll be hard to explain when you get home if you drink too much!"
After everyone had their bowls filled, they raised them and began to drink.
The room suddenly became as lively as a temple fair.
Many people outside were peeking and looking around.
……
On the Intermediate Court side,
The older generation has started eating too.
It was so hot that everyone squatted under the big locust tree with enamel bowls in their hands, eating and cooling off while chatting and gossiping.
Jia Zhangshi broke her leg and was unable to get out of the house.
Old Jia and Jia Dongxu did come out.
Yan Bugui slurped up a mouthful of noodle soup, smacked his lips, and looked at Jia Dongxu with a smile: "Hey, Dongxu, all the young people are drinking in the east room, why didn't you go over?"
"Didn't they call you?"
These words immediately ignited a tense atmosphere.
Old Jia's face darkened.
Jia Dongxu frowned deeply.
There was a bunch of people adding fuel to the fire.
Liu Haizhong shook his head and sighed, "Guang Qi is drinking inside right now. The aroma wafting over is making my mouth water! If it weren't for my old bones being unable to handle the alcohol, I'd like to join in too!"
He Daqing lazily chimed in, "Zhu Zi's skills are improving now. You can tell just by the smell. He's not far from becoming a master chef."
Xu Fugui, who was in charge of publicity, even added, "Dongxu, you need to remember to unite your comrades!"
"Unity?" Jia Dongxu jumped to his feet, his voice rising. "Who said they didn't invite me? Liu Dong did call me just now, and I went! But I couldn't connect with those bachelors, so I left!"
He snorted coldly, then suddenly straightened his back: "Besides, I'm about to get married and start a family. It's not appropriate for me to hang out with them; I'm afraid they'll feel bad!"
Turning to Yan Bugui, he said, "Teacher Yan, putting everything else aside, you've met my girlfriend, haven't you? What do you think?"
Yan Bugui nodded: "Good! He's got the looks for it!"
Liu Haizhong had to admit, "That girl is not only beautiful, she looks like she's made for a good family."
That's true.
Jia Dongxu immediately became incredibly arrogant: "Of course! My girlfriend is the most beautiful one! To be honest, I've never seen a more stunning woman in my life than Qin Huairu! These bachelors? Heh, dream on!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of leather shoes clicking and clacking came from outside the round moon gate of the courtyard.
Everyone turned to look.
A woman wearing a black and red short-sleeved cheongsam slowly walked in.
She looked to be around nineteen or twenty years old. She wore a cheongsam that accentuated her curves, and black high heels that made her appear even taller and more slender.
A head of large, wavy hair, seemingly out of place in this era, hung down her back. A summer breeze blew, causing the hair to flutter lightly, captivating the heart.
The entire courtyard fell silent instantly.
Jia Dongxu's mouth was agape, and he even forgot to breathe.
What?
Such a beautiful girl?
My God! She's at least ten times more beautiful than Qin Huairu!
The key is that aura, an indescribable air of nobility!
hiss--
After just one glance, Jia Dongxu felt three times shorter, and he was so embarrassed that he quickly lowered his head, his face as red as a boiled shrimp.
