Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 379: Wine doesn’t intoxicate people, people get drunk on themselves

"Oh, my sister is so distressed. You have such a good relationship." Nian waited for a long time, and finally Xi couldn't help but come to the rescue, and immediately started teasing her.

"Shut up, it's not what you think." Xi, who was already very shy, heard Nian's sarcastic remarks.

The dragon's fur instantly flared up, clenching its fists and about to attack. Fortunately, Roy intervened in time, otherwise the table would have been overturned by her.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Roy gently stroked Xi's back to help her calm down.

"Ahem, Xiaonian, please stop making fun of Ximei. It's a blessing for Ximei to meet a good man like you."

Ling coughed lightly, then assumed the airs of an older sister, sternly scolding Nian. She had clearly been the one pushing the drinks the most, practically leaning against Roy.

There is no other way. Since he is Ximei's sweetheart, I must test him thoroughly, and his drinking capacity is part of the test.

"Nian, what about you? When will you find a sweetheart and bring her back to meet me and your sister?"

Shu put a few spoonfuls of meat into Nian and Xi's bowls, and then asked about Nian's situation in the tone of an old woman.

"I've already said that we're not lovers, but just ordinary friends." Xi retorted softly, but without any confidence.

"Okay, okay, we're just ordinary friends, okay." Ling knew that his sister Xi was very sensitive about her reputation, so he had to go along with her wishes.

"Oh, it's not so easy to meet the right person. Let's wait a little longer..." Nian didn't expect that the fire would burn on him so soon, so he quickly found an excuse to get away with it.

Xi knew that her sister Ling and sister Shu were venting their anger for her, and the dissatisfaction in her heart subsided a lot. Now it was her turn to watch the New Year's excitement.

It was the first time that Roy showed an embarrassed expression on Nian's face. It turned out that only Ling Heshu could control her.

"You're not a kid anymore, how long do you have to wait?"

Shu frowned slightly at Nian's answer, obviously not satisfied, and continued to ask.

"About a hundred to ten years, isn't Sister Shu good at divination? Why don't you help me calculate it?"

Faced with Sister Shu's relentless pressure, Nian chose to push the problem back to Sister Shu and ask her to help him out.

"Okay, put your hand over here." Shu put down his chopsticks, wiped the corner of his mouth, and signaled Nian with his eyes to put his hand over.

"Here." Since Sister Shu had spoken, Nian could only reach out her hand obediently. In fact, she also wanted to know when she would meet her destined person and where that person was.

Shu carefully observed Nian's palm lines while trying to figure out her marriage destiny. The more he figured it out, the more confused and surprised he became.

"How could this be? It's really amazing..." Shu, who was confused by the calculation results, looked up at Xi and Roy who were sitting side by side with a subtle expression.

"Sister Shu, what's the result?" Nian asked curiously.

"It's hard to say. I'll help you check it again after a while." Shu shook his head and let go of Nian's hand.

"Shu, since it's hard to say about Xiaonian, how about you help me find someone? I want to know who can accompany me for the rest of my life to drink, have fun, recite poems and write couplets."

Ling, who was slightly drunk, held his chin with one hand and stretched his palm in front of Shu.

"This isn't like you. You're always so carefree, how could you be interested in something like this?"

Shu seemed a little surprised at Ling's initiative to ask, but still gently grasped the white and slender hand.

"Oh, it just happened on a whim, so let's take a look. Finding your destined person is an essential experience in life, so I'll just consider it as doing my homework in advance."

Ling's answer was in line with her free and easy personality. If she could find one, that would be the best, but if she couldn't, it didn't matter.

"Hmm..." Shu grabbed Ling's palm and looked at it for a long time, counting with his fingers again and again, his expression becoming more and more strange.

"Shu, what's the result of your calculation?" Ling was very curious about what Shu had calculated and why he had that expression.

"Hmm... the situation is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you later. That's all for today. Go ahead and eat."

Shu waved his hand, refused to talk about the calculation results, and continued to put food into the bowls of several people.

Although the three sisters Ling, Nian and Xi thought Shu's reaction was very strange, no one asked any questions and they picked up their chopsticks to eat.

......

After the dinner, Shu Jiangnian stayed behind to clean up the dishes. Ling got drunk again and lay in the pavilion for a long time without being woken up.

As for Roy and Xi, of course we have to create space and opportunities for them to be alone to enhance their relationship.

Shu knew a little about the relationship between men and women. Having lived in Dahuang City for hundreds of years, he had seen everything.

"Burp... I'm so full. Sister Shu is so enthusiastic, she keeps putting food into my mouth. And Ling, that guy, can really drink."

Roy was eight to ninety percent drunk, and his steps were a little unsteady when he left, and he needed Xi's help to support him.

"Since you can't drink much, why did you drink so much? Look now, you're drunk..." Although her tone was full of blame, there was no trace of disgust on Xi's face.

"As long as everyone is happy, how do you feel about this dinner party..."

"Except for that guy Nian, who is really annoying, everything else is okay. Your sister always gets drunk, and Sister Shu is still so worried."

"That's good....."

When Roy, reeking of alcohol, returned to the bedroom, Xi was momentarily at a loss because she really didn't know how to deal with this drunk man.

It would be inappropriate to just throw him on the bed and walk away. But I really have no experience in taking care of a drunk person.

Normally, if your sister gets drunk, you don't have to worry about her at all. Once she sobers up, she'll naturally handle it.

"Hey, are you sober? Do you need me to do anything?" Since you have no experience, just ask him directly what he needs.

"I'm thirsty and want to drink some water..."

"Okay, sit for a while, I'll pour you some water." Xi helped Roy to the bed and put him down, then turned around to get a glass of water.

Someone grabbed her slender wrist and pulled her into his arms with just the right amount of force.

Roy lowered his head and gently kissed the slightly open, soft red lips of the beauty in his arms in the shocked and ashamed gaze.

"Asshole, lecher... You lied to me! You weren't drunk at all!" Xi, realizing that she had been deceived, bit Roy hard in anger.

That was my first kiss that I had kept for thousands of years, but it was so easily stolen away by this guy. It was so hateful.

"It's not the wine that makes people drunk, it's the people themselves. Haven't you heard of it?" Roy licked his lips. There was no smell of blood. It seemed that Xi had finally stopped.

"I haven't heard of it. Let me go. Um..." Xi just opened her mouth to refute a few words when she was blocked by Roy's kiss.

The dragon's tail would initially lash out a few times, whipping Roy's calves, but in the end it drooped helplessly, signifying its master had given up resistance and chosen obedience.
