Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 706 - 705: Does Sie Yugu Want to Visit the Moon?
Chapter 706: Chapter 705: Does Sie Yugu Want to Visit the Moon?
Sie Yufei quickly snatched the wine cup from Lin Nianhe and gulped it down.
"Please, my dear ladies, I was wrong!"
Sie Yufei begged for mercy: "You guys don’t need to go back, but I still do! I’m the only educated youth left in the whole village; wouldn’t all the slaps that you avoid fall on me?"
"You?" Wen Qingqing was a bit dazed, "Didn’t Eldest Uncle Sie manage to get you a medical retirement?"
"No, my dad can’t wait to get rid of me."
Sie Yufei sighed and sat back down in his chair.
Originally, Mr. Sie had planned for him to get a medical retirement so he could return to Beijing and properly prepare for the college entrance exams, but after that incident in the hospital, both Mr. Sie and Sie Yuguo thought it was better for Sie Yufei to stay far away from Beijing.
The Wen family’s sisters had already heard about the Guan family girl’s incident; they didn’t tease anymore and just silently ate the dishes in front of them without saying a word.
Suddenly, Lin Nianhe said, "Have you finished editing the film? You don’t contact me, and I don’t contact you; do you think I’ve forgotten about it?"
"Ah?" Sie Yufei was taken aback and quickly explained, "No, no, I finished it yesterday, but the master at the film factory said they need to flip the film, so it will take a couple of days."
Flipping the film, or duplicating the film, requires a series of specific treatments to replicate the original film and then send it to various cinemas for screening.
It’s a good day, and Lin Nianhe didn’t want to stress him; she just said, "Then hurry up, don’t leave it unfinished when you go back; otherwise, who knows when it will get done."
"Um, I know..."
Sie Yufei suddenly felt nervous, like a new father outside the delivery room, anxious while waiting for the doctor to bring out the child after hearing that the mother and child are safe.
Is the child healthy? Good-looking? Does it look like Old Wang next door?
All these are unknowns.
Lin Nianhe, however, didn’t feel this way.
She had seen too many terrible movies; one more or one less didn’t matter to her.
Lin Nianhe comforted him: "Don’t worry, a father doesn’t dislike his ugly child, this is your first time making a movie... I mean, whatever it turns out to be, I can accept."
At worst, she’d just sell off that equipment and wouldn’t lose too much money.
To Sie Yufei’s rarity, he truly got comforted by Lin Nianhe, and his worries eased a bit.
Lin Nianhe, however, didn’t have time to keep comforting him, as she saw that the group was about to start the second round of drinking. She immediately put down her chopsticks, went up, covered Su Yuncheng’s mouth from behind, and cheerfully said:
"Just drinking is boring; since everyone is gathered here, I have a lot to say to you all!"
She was the protagonist, so this was a face that had to be given; everyone put down their cups and waited for Lin Nianhe to speak.
Lin Nianhe, beaming with a smile, draped her arm around Su Yuncheng’s shoulder and said, "Brother Mingyi, didn’t you say the other day that you knew a comrade who would be perfect for Brother Yuguo? Take this chance to tell him about her."
Ji Mingyi briefly froze, wondering when he had said that.
But lately, his grandfather had been instilling the idea of "listen to Nianhe when you’re outside," so without disputing, he immediately went along with her words: "Yes, yes, yes, Brother Yuguo, let me tell you, that lady comrade is really great in every aspect..."
Then he quickly stepped forward, and forcefully dragged Sie Yuguo away.
Sie Yuguo: "Lin Nianhe!"
Lin Nianhe gracefully smiled and waved at him: "Have a good chat, if possible, I will bring that girl to meet Aunt Sie tomorrow!"
Sie Yuguo: "..."
Having sent away the leader, the remaining stragglers were not to be feared.
With just a few relaxed sentences, Lin Nianhe got them to give up on continuing to offer toasts and pulled Su Yuncheng and Lin Huai Zhou out of the sea of alcohol.
The two of them had been drinking for two gatherings straight and had not drunk less, Lin Nianhe figured, even reincarnations of alcohol vessels should be drunk by now.
Yet both still sat ramrod straight, showing no outward signs of drunkenness.
Taking advantage of her handbag to cover, Lin Nianhe took out two sobering pills from the bag and popped one into each of their mouths.
Neither even asked, chewing vigorously.
Lin Nianhe tentatively asked, "How’s the peanut taste?"
Both replied in unison, "Delicious."
"Are you drunk?"
"Not drunk."
Lin Nianhe: "..."
People whose taste has completely faded, yet insist they are not drunk.
Such stubborn folks.
Lin Nianhe didn’t expose them but just exchanged their alcohol for tea and sat between them, entertaining everyone.
With the most troublesome Sie Yuguo held back by Ji Mingyi, the rest were much easier to handle.
Lin Nianhe had attended countless drinking parties in her previous life and was excellent at drinking games.
She herself didn’t drink a drop but managed to get everyone at the table drunk, including persuading the Wen family’s sisters, who were hiding in the corner, to drink two glasses each.
Her strategy was to treat everyone equally.
When Sie Yuguo finally managed to escape from Ji Mingyi, he found his side in total disarray, and the two who should have been almost completely drunk seemed much soberer.
There was a young lady, grinning at him: "Brother Yuguo, shall we continue?"
Sie Yuguo: "..."
Continue... hell no!
Sie Yuguo threatened Su Yuncheng fiercely: "On your wedding day, I’ll make sure you won’t be able to enter the bridal chamber!"
Su Yuncheng grabbed Nianhe’s hand: "Remember to tell Elder Ji tomorrow that Sie Yuguo wants to be sent abroad."
Lin Nianhe nodded repeatedly and turned to Sie Yufei to pass the message: "Spread the word, Brother Yuguo is getting married and going abroad."
Sie Yufei: "What? Is my big brother going to annihilate Japan?"
"..."
The next day.
Comrade Old Lin was sitting in the office, listening to a ridiculous report, completely confused:
"Sie Yuguo wants to visit the moon?"
"How drunk did he get?"
...
Today, the yard was unusually quiet, faintly filled with the smell of alcohol.
When Su Yuncheng woke up, he found his clothes taken off and neatly folded on a chair.
He held his head and recalled.
It was Lin Nianhe who drove him and Lin Huai Zhou home.
And it was she who undressed him.
In his fragmented memories, her crisp voice lingered.
"Brother Yuncheng, are you drunk?"
"No."
"Do you like me?"
"No."
"Su Yuncheng doesn’t like Lin Nianhe?"
"Um, no."
"Su Yuncheng, are you crazy?"
"Heh."
"You think by mimicking her appearance and copying her voice, I’ll be fooled?"
"..."
After recalling, Su Yuncheng suddenly threw off the blankets, grabbed his military coat and rushed out.
He vaguely heard some noise from the kitchen and assuming it was his mother preparing breakfast, said, "Mom, I’m stepping out for a bit," and dashed out the door. freewebnoveℓ.com
Lin Nianhe poked her head out from the kitchen and clucked her tongue: "Was there really a need to be so polite?"
The porridge in the pot was about to overflow, so she quickly pulled her head back in and turned down the heat.
Su Yuncheng hurriedly ran outside and pounded on the door of the Lin Family for a while, but no one answered.
His heart sank.
She really was angry, wasn’t she?
Rightly so, they say drunken words are sober thoughts, she must have taken those words as his true feelings.
Little did she know, the more he drank, the less likely he was to speak his true feelings.
Su Yuncheng frustratingly ran his fingers through his hair, his muddled brain couldn’t figure out where she might go.
"Brother Yuncheng, what’s up? It’s time to eat."
The familiar, crisp voice came from next door.
