Chapter 896: Drinking Wine
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The meal was served quickly because it was prepared a while ago.
“Thank you all for coming to my birthday party! I’d like to toast everyone!”
Xia Xibei drank the beverage in her hand in one go.
The others followed suit and drank their own drinks.
However, Yu Ziqi’s eyes were fixed on the bottle of wine in her hand.
“Beibei, what’s that? Wine?”
“Yes, wine.” Xia Xibei nodded, then immediately shook her head. “You’re not old enough to drink!”
Of the 10 people here, except for Zhuo Jingxu, the child, Yu Ziqi was the youngest and still a year short of adulthood.
Before one became an adult, one could not drink.
Yu Ziqi’s face suddenly fell, a little depressed.
He would like to drink, but his family was strict. They said he was not an adult and could not try.
Today’s dinner was at his family’s place, so he would have even less of an opportunity to drink.
When he saw Xia Xibei had brought wine, he thought he could try it, but he didn’t expect to be instantly rejected.
“Little brother, eat!”
Song Jiaren picked up a green onion and put it in his bowl.
Looking at the green onion, the corner of Yu Ziqi’s mouth twitched.
Before, she was saying he was a middle-aged uncle, and now she was calling him a little brother?! Were women that fickle?!
Song Jiaren, who knew what he was thinking, said to Xia Xibei, “It’s okay, he can’t drink but we can! We are all adults!”
Ren Ningning also nodded along, “Yeah, we’re all adults, we can drink!”
“Hey!” Yu Ziqi got anxious. “What do you guys mean!”
Ren Ningning looked at him with a smirk, “It’s nothing, we just want to have a little drink. After all, we adults are allowed to drink.”
Yu Ziqi’s face turned grim.
These people were so mean! How dare they tease him like this?!
Ren Juncheng and Tang Luo also followed suit. “That’s right! Drink! Beibei is 18 years old, she can drink now! Let’s celebrate!”
If Yu Ziqi hadn’t brought it up, they wouldn’t have even thought about drinking. Why did he bring it up?
Everyone just loved to tease him, especially when they saw him watch everyone eat and drink with that depressed look on his face. It was even more fun.
Her friends were getting excited, and Xia Xibei was not in a position to say how precious the bottle of wine was.
She looked at Qi Yuntian with questioning eyes.
Qi Yuntian smiled, “It’s okay, just drink it. It has been given to you, of course it’s for you to decide.”
To her, this Spirit Heart Wine was not easy to obtain, but it was not a rare thing either.
The most important thing was that she didn’t practice martial arts, so this bottle of wine was considered useless to her.
So, after giving the wine to Xia Xibei, she didn’t mind at all. Xia Xibei could do whatever she wanted with it.
Seeing that Qi Yuntian really didn’t care, Xia Xibei wasn’t polite anymore.
“Then let’s drink!”
Moreover, she was curious to know how special this bottle of wine was, and whether it was as good as Qi Yuntian said.
“Good! Drink up!” several newly-minted adults cheered at once.
Even the clueless Zhuo Jingxu applauded, his innocent and hilarious expression making everyone laugh.
Honey, Asura, and King Chu also followed suit, and the scene was very lively.
As for Qiao Yanjue and Liu Manhong, they wouldn’t have an issue with it.
Anyway, they had a driver to send them back, so they were not afraid of drinking.
So, Xia Xibei opened the bottle of wine.
With a pop, the bottle opened. A rich and mellow scent wafted out from inside the bottle.
The sweet taste immediately made Xia Xibei inhale deeply, surprising her.
Qi Yuntian did not exaggerate. This stuff smelled really good!
