132 You Two Are Compatible
He raised his glass with a serious expression. âI wish you all the best.â
Pei Zhi smiled and downed the second glass.
He moved his chair closer to the bonfire with them and chatted while barbecuing.
A moment later, the fragrance of grilled meat spread.
âQian Yue.â Zhou Yanshen, who was flipping the skewers, narrowed his eyes at the smoke. âDo you eat meat?â
âI grew up in Lin City. I donât have those taboos.â
âThen try this.â
Qian Yue bit into a piece of pork belly and savored the fragrance. âIt tastes good.â
âWhat else do you want to eat?â
âNothing for now.â She handed him a tissue to wipe the oil off his hands. âYou eat too.â
Chu Yuzhou happened to see their interaction.
âI suddenly realized.â He quickly swallowed the beef in his mouth and continued, âYou two are quite compatible.â
Pei Yilan looked at them with a face as red as the setting sun and added, âYou two can try to get to know each other better.â
âDid you drink too much?â Chu Yuzhou asked out of concern.
âNo, not at all.â
âYour face is especially red.â
Pei Yilan took out a mirror to take a look.
She refused to admit that she was drunk. âIâm like Chu Yuzhou. I get flushed easily but it doesnât mean Iâm drunk.â
âCut it out.â Chu Yuzhou threw away the skewer.
He leaned closer to look at her blurry eyes. âIf youâre not drunk, Iâll take your surname.â
âIâm really not drunk.â Pei Yilan picked up the wine bottle and said with cockiness, âIf you donât believe me, letâs compete.â
âItâs boring to just drink.â
âThen letâs play games.â
Chu Yuzhou called everyone to join.
After three rounds, Pei Yilan was still sober, but Lin Jiao was a little drunk.
âUncle.â She grabbed Pei Zhiâs collar and sat between his knees. âI want to eat corn.â
Pei Zhi delivered it to her mouth.
He lowered his eyes and watched her chew the corn one by one. He asked gently, âAre you sleepy?â
âIâm not sleepy.â She was just hungry.
Lin Jiao ate three skewers of vegetables and finally felt full. âWipe my mouth.â
âI did.â
âI didnât notice it.â
Pei Zhi could only wipe it again.
He deliberately slowed down so that she could see the tissue on her lips. âDonât drink so much next time.â
âGot it.â Lin Jiao looked up at him, her clear eyes seeming to be filled with stars.
She was so obedient that Pei Zhi wanted to bully her.
He touched his forehead with hers, his breath fragrant with wine. âDonât look at me like that.â
âWhy?â
âIâm afraid I wonât be able to help myself.â
Lin Jiao nodded slowly, not quite understanding what he meant.
She sat up straight and looked at the others. âWho lost?â
âQu Shao.â
âIs his alcohol tolerance good?â
âIt depends on who heâs competing with.â Pei Zhi hugged her waist tightly and pulled her closer to him.
He raised an eyebrow. âYou still want to drink?â
