Chapter 316 -316: E City as Remembered
Su Jin had already put away the box of crystal cores, naturally first placing them in her storage bag.
She planned to save them for gradual use because if the space absorbed them all at once, she would truly cry.
The party in the villa’s basement let everyone enjoy themselves thoroughly, and with ample alcohol, Guo Yang got drunk and even went on to make a “declaration of love” to Liao Yifan with a microphone, which, of course, led nowhere.
Liao Yifan even sang a song called “Liang Liang” to Guo Yang, causing him to exclaim in heartache, and everyone was used to the two chasing each other and started to join in the fun.
Su Xiangzhe and Lu Guanhai also sang several old military songs together, Mrs. Su and Lin Tianhui felt particularly nostalgic hearing these familiar tunes, and they couldn’t help but tear up, reminded of the days gone by which would never return.
Nie Qing wanted to sing too, but since he didn’t know any songs, he could only watch Su Xiangzhe and Lu Guanhai sing enviously and said he also wanted to learn to sing.
...
Watching the lively scene, Su Jin and her aunt Lin Xiuyuan, among others, ended up drinking a bit more without realizing it.
As she drank, she didn’t feel anything unusual, but even diluted red wine is still wine, and Su Jin soon felt her head spinning, although she thought her mind was still fairly clear, gradually she felt her tongue starting to tie up.
“Xiao Jin?”
Lu Hao called out to Su Jin, who was lowering her head.
Because she hadn’t gone out today, Su Jin hadn’t tied up her hair; her dark hair spread over her narrow back made her waist appear even slenderer.
At the moment Lu Hao called her, Su Jin lifted her head in a bewildered manner, strands of black hair sticking to her pale cheeks, prompting Lu Hao to stretch out his hand wanting to brush them behind her ear, but when his hand touched her cheek, the smooth sensation made him reluctant to pull his hand away.
Yet Su Jin swiftly grabbed his hand, then clung to Lu Hao’s arm and leaned on it, starting to doze off.
Lu Hao was somewhat amused and said, “How much did she even drink?”
Lin Xiuyuan brought over a plate of sliced chicken feet and seeing Su Jin leaning on Lu Hao’s arm, shook his head and commented.
“She’s fine with any drink, but as soon as it’s red wine, she’s instantly weak.”
“Yeah, the aftereffects of red wine are stronger,” Lu Hao said with a laugh.
“Xiao Hao, why don’t you take Xiao Jin to rest a bit? Look at her, drooping like that; it’s hard for me to watch,”
Mrs. Su said, suggesting it was better for her to rest comfortably upstairs rather than dozing off here.
“Sure.”
Lu Hao put down the glass in his hand, helped Su Jin up and walked out with her.
“Uh, I’m not drunk; I don’t want to go up,”
Su Jin muttered; she was still conscious, just a bit dizzy.
“No, you’re drunk”
“…”
Lu Hao didn’t stop walking, and when he reached the door, he directly lifted Su Jin in his arms because he was going up the stairs, scaring Su Jin into wrapping her arms around his neck, but she didn’t see the smug smile on Lu Hao’s lips.
————————————————
When Su Jin woke up the next morning, it was already late. Recalling the events from the night before, she couldn’t help but lament in her heart, alcohol is truly harmful!
At this moment, she was immensely grateful for her Special Ability User’s physique; otherwise, she would bet two crystal cores that she would have woken up with her body aching all over.
