Chapter 1039: Got caught
Night.
Xu Yan’s apartment.
It was getting dark. Xu Yan and Yu Meixia continued to chat.
“Meixia, drop by my place whenever you are free.”
“Sure. Err…. You can also come to my place too. It’s near.”
“Sure. We should have met earlier. Haha…. I need to seek your advice on how to teach my child.”
“I should be the one seeking advice from you. My girl is good at her studies, but she is not good at interacting with others. She is not good with her cla.s.smates.”
“Oh, did anyone bully her?”
“I am not sure as she just changed school. But she was used to being bullied at school.”
“Alright. Just let me know if she is bullied. I can help.”
“No… no…. I don’t want to trouble you. I can handle it myself.”
“My job is different, and I am good at handling such things. You don’t need to feel restrained.”
Both of them had been chatting for an hour and had endless topics. Although it was nice to admire two beautiful women chatting, Dong Xuebing was getting sleepy and lonely. He found an opportunity to interrupt. “Sister Xu, Sister Yu, can we start eating? I have been eating alone, and both of you are not eating. The food is cold. Is my food so bad that both of you are unwilling to eat?”
Yu Meixia quickly says. “I will eat…. I will eat now.”
Xu Yan laughed. “Alright. We had forgotten about you. I will warm up the food now.”
Yu Meixia said. “Let me do it.”
“Let’s go together. The microwave is there.” Xu Yan replied.
They returned to the dining table after heating the food.
Xu Yan nodded after tasting the food. “Xiao Bing is getting better at cooking. Delicious.”
Yu Meixia nodded. “It’s more delicious than my food.”
Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes. “Both of you are great cooks. How can I compare with you all? I know my standards.”
Xu Yan laughed. “What’s wrong? Are you getting angry?”
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “No. Why should I be angry?”
Xu Yan laughed. “Fine. I am in a good mood today. I will drink with you.”
“Stop…. It’s fine for me to drink alone. You….” Dong Xuebing was not angry.
“Are you belittling my alcohol tolerance?” Xu Yan laughed. “I was in a bad mood that day and had not drunk for a long time. That’s why I got drunk. Drinking a few gla.s.ses with you should not be a problem. Furthermore, all of us are not working tomorrow. It’s fine even if we get drunk. Come, fill my gla.s.s. Hahaha…. Meixia, let’s have a drink.”
Yu Meixia replied. “I… I cannot drink.”
Xu Yan continued. “It’s fine to have some. Try it. You can stop anytime.”
Yu Meixia did not reject it anymore. “Then… then…. I will give it a try.”
Dong Xuebing poured alcohol into their gla.s.ses. Xu Yan could drink, and he did not remind her. But he had never seen Yu Meixia drink before. “Sister Yu, this is concentrated Erguotou. We call it Jinliu in Beijing. It means it is not watered down, and you cannot get it at most places. The alcohol content is much higher than most alcohol at around 70 degrees.”
“70 degrees?” Yu Meixia blinked. She does not understand what that means.
Xu Yan explained. “Pure alcohol is around 90 degrees.”
“Ah…. It’s about the same as pure alcohol!?” Yu Meixia was surprised.
Dong Xuebing continued. “Just be careful when you drink. Stop immediately if you feel uncomfortable.”
Xu Yan raised his gla.s.s. “Come, let’s have a toast first. Bottoms up!”
The three of them knocked on their gla.s.ses and took a dip. It was fine for Dong Xuebing as he was famous for his alcohol tolerance. Xu Yan frowned and swallowed the alcohol with her eyes closed. But Yu Meixia was different. She clenched her teeth and swallowed with difficulty. After taking a sip, she patted her chest and panted.
Xu Yan asked. “How is it?”
Yu Meixia panted and said. “It burns.”
Xu Yan laughed. “You will get used to it. Look, your face has not turned red. It seems like your alcohol tolerance is high.”
“No… no…. I… I cannot finish this gla.s.s.”
“It’s fine. Just stop when you feel like it. Here, let’s have another sip.”
Everyone loosens up after drinking some alcohol. Xu Yan and Yu Meixia no longer chatted among themselves and started to talk to Dong Xuebing.
Xu Yan asked. “How did you meet Meixia?”
Dong Xuebing paused for a second and said. “I met her along the streets.”
Yu Meixia added. “My daughter and I were poor when we met Xiao Bing. We were begging on the streets, and he took us in.”
Xu Yan giggled. “I am right. She treats pretty women well.”
Yu Meixia blushed. “No…. He is a good man and treats everyone well.”
Dong Xuebing quickly explained. “That’s right…. Can you stop teasing me, Sister Xu?”
“Fine. I shall stop teasing you today. Let’s continue eating.” Xu Yan said.
One hour….
Two hours….
They ate and drank slowly. All of them had drunk a lot by the time the dinner ended.
Dong Xuebing drank the most and did not use REVERSE to cheat. He felt giddy and could not stand properly. Xu Yan and Yu Meixia were about the same. Xu Yan’s alcohol tolerance was better than Yu Meixia"s and was slightly better. The latter could not even stand up.
9 pm.
Dong Xuebing rubbed his temples. “Sister Xu, we are going now.”
Xu Yan looked at the time and said. “Oh, it’s so late now. Never mind. Just stay over tonight.”
Yu Meixia replied. “No… no….”
Xu Yan asked. “Are you worried about your daughter?”
“Not really.” Yu Meixia burped and said. “Qianqian had gone to her grandparents’ place and will not be coming back today. I don’t want to bother you.”
“It’s not a bother. Look at Xiao Bing. How can I let him drive you back?” Xu Yan shook her head.
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Sister Xu, you should know how much I can drink. I am fine. I can send Sister Yu back safely.”
Xu Yan laughed. “You cannot even stand properly. How can you send her back? I still want to chat with Meixia. It’s settled.”
“No…. errr…. How are we going to sleep?” Dong Xuebing asked.
“Just stay here tonight and sleep wherever you want.” Xu Yan replied.
Dong Xuebing did not argue. It was not the first time he had stayed at Xu Yan’s apartment. But her guest room was converted into her study and gym, and there’s only one bedroom. This means he got to sleep on the sofa tonight.
“I need to wash my face.” Yu Meixia staggered towards the bathroom.
Xu Yan said. “I got a new set of pajamas. You can change into it. The bathroom has new toothbrushes too.”
Yu Meixia staggered into the bathroom and closed the door.
Xu Yan turned to Dong Xuebing and smiled. “Do you want me to sleep on the sofa tonight? You can stay in the bedroom with Meixia.”
Dong Xuebing blushed. “What are you talking about? We are friends. How can I sleep with her?” He lied.
Xu Yan nodded and said. “Then I will sleep with Meixia in the room. You will have to spend the night on the sofa.”
Dong Xuebing nodded and looked at Xu Yan’s voluptuous body. He went forward and hugged her.
Xu Yan did not reject or accept his advances. “It’s enough.”
Dong Xuebing did not stop and squeezed her b.u.t.t.
Xu Yan was much older than Dong Xuebing and only dared to do this after drinking. He also knows Xu Yan will not be angry with him.
So soft and perky….
The bathroom door opened suddenly, and Yu Meixia walked out. “I cannot find the toothbrush, Sister Xu. Ah….” Yu Meixia was shocked and blushed. She quickly returned to the bathroom and closed the door.
Dong Xuebing’s reaction was slower after drinking, and he did not retract his hand from Xu Yan’s b.u.t.t in time. He was still kissing her hair.
Sister Yu had seen everything.
Dong Xuebing started sweating. “This…. This….”
Xu Yan looked at Dong Xuebing. “Are you happy now?”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Sorry, Sister Xu. I….”
“I am going to change in the room. Go and wash up.” Xu Yan calmly said and returned to the bedroom.
A while later.
Yu Meixia came out from the bathroom, and Xu Yan had changed into her pajamas.
The living room was awkward because of what had happened.
The three of them don’t know what to say.
Dong Xuebing walked to the bathroom. “I am going to wash up. You two should rest early. Err…. Good night.”
Sigh….
Why am I so rash?
Dong Xuebing… Dong Xuebing…. why are you so impulsive?!
