A pair of shiny eyes looked at Xu Jialu, making it impossible for him to refuse. Finally, he said reluctantly, “Alright. You can have one glass. Otherwise, I’ll tell Mom and Dad!”

Xu Youyou smiled and said happily, “Thank you, Brother! You’re the best!”

Mo Shenbai: “…”

‘Ha! Brother is the best?’

The dishes were served very quickly.

Mo Shenbai did not drink, and Xu Jialu also did not drink because he was driving. Hence, only Su Lanxu and Xu Youyou drank the red wine.

Xu Youyou took a small sip first and found the red wine sweet and delicious. Following that, she gulped down the entire glass of red wine. Like a hungry kitten, she licked her lower lip and said pleadingly, “Brother, can I have another glass?”

Xu Jialu was about to refuse when Xu Youyou said, “Brother… Brother, you’re the best!”

Xu Youyou’s soft voice and cute expression swept away Xu Jialu’s principles. He said, “Alright, you can have another glass!”

Mo Shenbai frowned slightly. He looked at Xu Jialu as though to say, “Can you hold onto your principles?”

Xu Jialu, as though he could read Mo Shenbai’s mind, rolled his eyes and said, “She’s my biological sister. I don’t need my principles when it comes to her! It’s none of your business.”

Mo Shenbai only smiled disdainfully at Xu Jialu. When he turned to look at Xu Youyou, he found that she had already finished another glass of red wine.

Xu Youyou could not help but burp.

......

Xu Jialu said, amused, “I didn’t expect our Little Youyou loves to drink.”

Su Lanxu had just finished drinking and saw Xu Youyou’s flushed face. She said teasingly, “My dear, I didn’t expect you to have such a good alcohol tolerance!”

Xu Youyou did not say anything. She only smiled, revealing her dimples. After a moment, she said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

Su Lanxu was about to accompany Xu Youyou, but Xu Youyou stopped her.

Since the restaurant was in the mall, there were many people around so it was relatively safe. Moreover, Xu Youyou acted very normal. Hence, Su Lanxu did not think much about it.

However, Mo Shenbai was quite worried. Xu Youyou had only left for a minute when he got up to look for her.

As soon as Mo Shenbai left the room, Su Lanxu covered her mouth and laughed. “He must have gone to look for Youyou! I knew he’s interested in Youyou!”

Xu Jialu picked up the tissue box on the table and hit Su Lanxu’s head.

Su Lanxu, who was caught off guard, rubbed her head and said indignantly, “Xu Jialu! Have you gone mad?!”

Xu Jialu relaxed and leaned against his chair. He crossed his arms and stared at her with his beautiful eyes and said, “I should be asking you that question.”

Su Lanxu was stunned.

“Escape room? Drinking? What are you scheming?”

Su Lanxu’s confidence drained away, and she blinked her eyes, looking guilty. She said in a small voice, “I, I’m not scheming anything. I just thought we should have fun!”

Xu Jialu sneered. “Do you think I can’t tell that you’re trying to match Xu Youyou and Mo Shenbai?”

Since Xu Jialu already knew, Su Lanxu knew there was no point pretending. She said, “So what if I’m trying to match them? I don’t believe that you don’t know Youyou likes Mo Shenbai!”

“So what if I know?” Xu Jialu asked coldly.

“Since you know, why are you causing so much trouble? Why are you making a fuss?” Su Lanxu glared at him and said, “Don’t think I don’t know that you’re deliberately trying to stop Youyou from getting close to Mo Shenbai!”

Xu Jialu looked at Su Lanxu silently; he did not refute her words.

“Why?” Su Lanxu could not figure out the reason. Suddenly, a thought appeared in her mind, causing her eyes to widen. She covered her mouth in surprise as she stammered, “You… Could it be that… Could it be that… toward Youyou…”
