Lin Suguang stood up with the wine glass in his hand.
“Everyone, thank you for your love and care for Shanshan.”
In fact, he did not have a problem with Huo Xunzhou. He just felt that Lin Shanchu was still young and he could not bear to see her get married so early.
However, through the conversation last night, he realized that he had indeed been away for too long.
Lin Shanchu was no longer the obedient child who always followed behind the adults in his memory.
She had her own judgment and could make her own decisions.
She was already a grown-up who could take responsibility for her own life.
Lin Shanchu stood up obediently and imitated Lin Suguang by raising the wine glass in her hand. She acted obediently like a child who followed an adult to a feast.
The elders of the Yun family tactfully left after dinner, leaving only Huo
Xunzhou behind.
“It’s still early. How about a couple of drinks?” Lin Suguang asked as he raised the wine bottle slowly and looked at Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou held the wine glass with both hands and handed it to Lin Suguang.
The two of them were of similar age, but Lin Suguang was a senior, so Huo Xunzhou had to show proper etiquette.
Lin Suguang picked up the wine bottle and poured it vigorously into Huo
Xunzhou’s glass. He stopped only when the wine overflowed from the glass.
At this moment, someone stretched out a fair and slender arm from the other side to grab the wine glass.
Lin Suguang turned his head and met Lin Shanchu’s big blinking eyes. Then, he asked, “What are you doing?”
“Drinking,” Lin Shanchu said seriously.
Lin Suguang raised his eyebrows, feeling puzzled.
Lin Shanchu asked innocently, “Didn’t you say you wanted to have a couple of drinks?”
Lin Suguang replied, “I didn’t say I’d drink with you.”
Lin Shanchu said coquettishly, “Uncle, just a little.”
Lin Suguang did not buy it, so he waved his hand and said, “Stay away and play on the side.”
Lin Shanchu was speechless.
On the other hand, Huo Xunzhou suddenly coughed. “Cough!”
Lin Shanchu looked up at him and said expressionlessly, “Laugh if you want
How could she not see that Huo Xunzhou was trying to hold back his laughter?
Did he find it funny when he saw her being disciplined by her uncle?
Indeed, Huo Xunzhou found it funny.
Lin Shanchu was fearless and was ready to cause trouble at any time.
He did not expect her to have such a wimpy moment.
It was probably the so-called bloodline suppression.
Lin Suguang followed her gaze and turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou’s smile had long disappeared. His expression was calm and indifferent, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Lin Suguang averted his gaze and looked at Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu silently put down the wine glass and obediently leaned on the table to watch Lin Suguang and Huo Xunzhou drink.
She was well aware with Huo Xunzhou’s alcohol tolerance. He was not a good drinker, but he was good at putting up a pretense. Even if he was drunk, no one would be able to notice it easily.
As for her uncle’s alcohol tolerance…
Lin Shanchu remembered that she once unintentionally talked to Lin Suguang about drinking in the past.
Lin Suguang told her to try not to drink outside, and he did not mention his alcohol tolerance.
However, based on Lin Shanchu’s understanding of Lin Suguang, he spent 360 days out of 365 days a year in the forest. Therefore, he had no time to drink or party at all.
Tch.
Her uncle would definitely lose miserably.
Lin Shanchu was already thinking about how to comfort Lin Suguang when the time came.
Huo Xunzhou and Lin Suguang did not talk much at first and drank one glass after another.
Towards the end, Lin Suguang gradually became more talkative under the effect of alcohol.
“Shanshan has been outstanding since she was young. She was the one who received the most red flowers in kindergarten…”
“She is indeed outstanding.” Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu looked at each other, separated by Lin Suguang.
Lin Shanchu was speechless.
She silently tugged at Lin Suguang’s sleeve.
Lin Suguang turned to look at her slowly. She whispered, “Don’t brag about the affair in kindergarten.”
“I’m telling the truth…”
Lin Suguang waved his hand and said, “Xunzhou is willing to listen, so I’ll continue chatting with him.”
He even called Xunzhou over. It seemed that he was really drunk.
He felt that it was inconvenient for Huo Xunzhou to chat if he sat too far away, so he stood up and swayed his chair towards Huo Xunzhou.
Lin Shanchu could not hold him back.
Huo Xunzhou quietly helped Lin Suguang up. After Lin Suguang sat down, he sneakily continued to talk to Huo Xunzhou about Lin Shanchu’s childhood.
Lin Shanchu wanted to hear it too, but Lin Suguang forbade her to go over.
She could only vaguely hear the words like “chased for two streets” and “lined up”.
If she had known that her uncle would be so drunk after drinking, she would have snatched the bottle over and finished it in one go.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Suguang’s speed of speech became slower and slower. He would pause for a long time after saying a sentence.
It was obvious that he was extremely drunk and remained conscious through sheer willpower.
Huo Xunzhou, who was beside her, lowered his eyes slightly and looked drunk, but Lin Shanchu knew that he was sober.
Bang!
Someone could not hold his liquor and collapsed onto the table.
“Hahaha, he’s drunk!” Lin Suguang laughed heartily as he pointed at Huo Xunzhou, who was lying on the table.
Speechless, Lin Shanchu thought that he was putting up a pretense.
Lin Shanchu smiled and said sincerely, “Uncle, you’re so amazing.” Lin Suguang proudly patted Huo Xunzhou on the shoulder.
“Xunzhou. He’s a good person, but he can’t hold his liquor. But it doesn’t matter, as long as Shanshan doesn’t mind…’
Lin Shanchu couldn’t help but laugh. “Yeah, I don’t mind that he can’t hold his liquor.”
Just then, Huo Xunzhou’s phone rang.
The person pretending to be drunk naturally could not get up to answer the phone.
Lin Shanchu got up and walked over. Then, she took out his phone from his pocket and saw the name Li MO on the screen.
“Sister-in-law?”
Li MO immediately recognized Lin Shanchu’s voice and said, “Are you guys done over there? Big Brother sent me a message earlier to pick you up at this time.”
“We have just finished.” Lin Shanchu glanced at the man who was pretending to be drunk.
Li MO said, “I’ll be right there.”
Li MO quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
Shocked, he looked at Huo Xunzhou, who was lying unconscious on the table, and asked, “Why is Big Brother so drunk?”
“Yeah.” Lin Shanchu nodded and said, “Li MO, help me support my uncle.”
Li MO came over to help Lin Suguang up, but then he asked her worriedly, “Can you help Big Brother up?
“I can,” Lin Shanchu said with a smile.
After Li MO and Lin Suguang left, Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and walked up to Huo Xunzhou.
“Best Actor Huo, do you really want me to help you up?
Huo Xunzhou, who was lying on the table, tilted his head and revealed half of his face. His watery charming eyes were mesmerizing.
He extended his hand towards Lin Shanchu and his voice was low and gentle. “I’m drunk, Shanshan. I need you to help me up.”
Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and smiled. Then, she reached out to pull him, but he took her into his arms with a jerk and sat on her lap.
“Why is your uncle’s alcohol tolerance so bad?” Huo Xunzhou muttered as he rested his chin on her shoulder. “He’s not even as good as you.”
Lin Shanchu reached out and covered her ears. “You can’t badmouth my uncle, or else he’ll be upset..”
