Chapter 470: Alcoholism. Incoming call and revisit

How could the Zhang family, who runs their own winery, not have wine on the table?

Meng Jixi can't drink because he has to drive.

Xiao Xiao just took a sip.

As for Master Xiao, no one bothered him to drink.

Wu Zhe and Wang Nan drank a little more.

Wu Zhe, in particular, was quite fond of the drink and had a good alcohol tolerance. He was the only one in the dormitory who always competed in drinking with Zhang Lin. Since Master Xiao had used his treasured wine to entertain them, the Zhang family could not help but drink a few more glasses.

……

"Honestly, that wine is pretty good."

Wu Zhe smacked his lips, feeling a little unsatisfied.

"That was specially brought out to entertain Master Xiao."

"In the end, you drank the most."

Wang Nan couldn't help but roll his eyes again.

Hearing the words "Master Xiao", Wu Zhe subconsciously glanced towards the passenger seat.

But he quickly looked away.

The discomfort on his face flashed away, but was covered up by his exaggerated winks.

"hey-hey."

……

Meng Jixi first sent Master Xiao back to Yan University.

At Master Xiao's request, we only drove to the school gate and did not drive inside.

"Master Xiao, thank you for making this trip today."

Meng Jixi was grateful to Master Xiao for agreeing to his request and visiting A Lin's nephew.

Although he was very depressed because he was the one who made the connection, in the end he knew nothing about the progress of the matter.

Both parties remained tight-lipped and he could do nothing about it.

……

Xiao Xiao nodded, "Goodbye."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Meng Jixi called him, "Master Xiao, wait a minute."

Xiao Xiao paused and looked sideways.

Meng Jixi got out of the car and handed a card to Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao, please accept it."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and accepted the card without saying anything.

Meng Jixi thought he would be rejected. He was stunned for a moment. He had thought of a lot of words to persuade Master Xiao to accept. Unexpectedly...

The corners of Meng Jixi's mouth curled up slowly. He admired Master Xiao's straightforward and direct approach.

He hated the nagging behavior of pushing things around, and he also didn't like to do pretentious things.

How refreshing it is.

……

"I am leaving."

Xiao Xiao waved the card and turned to walk into the school.

"Master Xiao, goodbye."

Meng Jixi watched Master Xiao's back disappear around the corner before he opened the car door again and sat in the driver's seat.

Soon, the car nimbly drove into the traffic on the avenue, and in just a few breaths, it disappeared at the end of the road.

……

With the start of the new semester, the campus, which had been silent throughout the winter vacation, became lively again.

Although it was still chilly in spring, the students, who could not wait to change out of their heavy winter clothes, did not care at all. The bright smiles on their faces even made the air, which seemed to be covered with thin ice, seem a little lighter.

Besides, the sun is shining brightly.

The spring sunshine brings with it the rich fragrance of flowers, and the slight warmth carries a sweetness that makes people feel intoxicated.

……

"Old Third, why haven't you gone out these days?"

On the way back to the dormitory after class, Zhuge Yun suddenly teased Xiao Xiao.

"Yeah, the busy man finally has some free time?"

Zhang Bo also laughed with a hint of joking.

"Third brother, are you okay today? How about we go out for lunch later?"

Zhao Luzheng proposed enthusiastically.

"without-"

"Buzz~"

Before he could even say “thing”, he was interrupted by the sudden vibration of his cell phone.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, took out his cell phone and saw the name flashing on the screen, and he began to understand something.

As he answered the call, a voice came from the other end of the phone, "Master Xiao."

"Zhang Lin."

Xiao Xiao hung up the phone and looked at Zhang Bo and the others with some apology.

"Okay, Third Brother, we know you're not available."

Zhuge Yun rolled his eyes.

"This call was such a coincidence."

Zhang Bo muttered with a hint of complaint.

Zhao Luzheng shrugged helplessly, "Third brother, you are really a busy man."

"Sorry, it's my treat next time."

Xiao Xiao curled his lips and smiled.

"Of course you should. How can we make up for our broken hearts if we don't make you bleed profusely?"

Zhuge Yun imitated Xishi holding her heart and spoke with resentment in her eyes.

Xiao Xiao ignored it and kept walking forward.

Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng quickened their pace in unison, and naturally, Zhuge Yun was left behind.

Zhuge Yun was a little dumbfounded, and then his face was filled with grief and indignation, "Big brother, third brother, youngest brother, you have all learned bad things!"

"My heart hurts so much!"

Such a pretentious and exaggerated performance made Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng quicken their pace and resolutely distance themselves from Zhuge Yun.

They don't know each other, really.

Xiao Xiao smiled amusedly, and although his pace did not seem to quicken, he was always half a step ahead of Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng.

……

Xiao Xiao went back to the dormitory to put his books away, and without any delay, he left the dormitory building again and walked towards the school gate.

When he was still a few steps away from the school gate, Xiao Xiao saw a familiar car.

"Master Xiao."

Meng Jixi leaned out of the window and waved to Xiao Xiao.

……

Only Meng Jixi and Zhang Lin came this time.

For Wang Nan and Wu Zhe, this was Zhang Lin's family affair after all, and if they went there like last time they would just stay in the yard, there would be nothing good to do.

Meng Jixi shamelessly followed him again.

He just wanted to see if he could discover something this time.

……

Xiao Xiao sat in the back seat of the car.

The passenger seat was already occupied by Zhang Lin.

……

Having driven on this road once before, Meng Jixi stepped on the accelerator and drove wildly and quickly.

It actually took ten minutes less than last time before the car braked and stopped in Zhang Lin's yard.

Zhang Lin slowly loosened his grip on the seat, his face looking somewhat grim.

"Ah Xi, you don't have to be so anxious."

"We are not in such a hurry."

Zhang Lin spoke slowly, enunciating each word.

Last time, Meng Jixi was not familiar with the road, so he drove a little more restrainedly.

This time, have you completely let yourself go?
……

“It’s better to be early than late.”

Meng Jixi turned off the car, pulled out the car keys, swung them between his fingers, and smiled freely.

He just likes the feeling of racing.

It is so exhilarating that one can't help but feel the adrenaline rushing through one's body, and the excitement can't be suppressed.

……

"Look, Master Xiao has no objection."

Meng Jixi looked at Zhang Lin with contempt: You are the one who is always troublesome.

Zhang Lin looked at Master Xiao, whose expression remained calm and unchanged, and felt a little hurt.

Master Xiao, who looked weaker than him, was fine, but he almost vomited because of nausea?
He suddenly felt that his exercise was far from enough.

……

"Master Xiao."

The Zhang family members who heard the noise came forward one after another.

Xiao Xiao noticed that there were two more unfamiliar middle-aged men this time.

They should be the parents of the two brothers Zhang Ting and Zhang Lin, right?

Later, Zhang Lin's introduction verified his guess.
