Parting is always intertwined with melancholy.
Xiang Yi watched as her brother's car drove away and felt a sliver of sadness in her heart, mixed with a whole lot more gratitude.
Her big brother had forgiven her.
It was… amazing.
"The moon is lovely tonight." Shi Sui's deep and gentle voice resonated beside her ear.
Xiang Yi was slightly startled, raising her head.
The moon was crescent like a hook, the sky washed with stars.
She smiled. "Mhmm. The stars are beautiful."
"Care for a drink?"
Shi Sui's casual suggestion stunned all the staff on the scene.
Not to mention the netizens in the live broadcast room.
—[Holy f*ck? Alcohol? Two Under One Roof?
—[Shi Yingdi, what's wrong with you? Beautiful moon and now alcohol, are you really interested in the Vase Fairy?]
Xiang Yi's eyes lit up. "Sure, the rice wine I brewed last year should taste just right about now. I'll go get it from the cellar!"
"It's dark outside, I should go."
"Then I'll go get the side dishes! We can eat a late night snack as well!"
Shi Sui smiled lightly. "Okay, anything you say."
The netizens in the stream: ???
—[Shi Yingdi is inexplicably indulgent of her...]
—[I can't help but say that their appearances are super compatible. Any screenshot makes it seem like a idol drama]
—[Simao brother: I just left, and you're getting late night eats? Are you even human??]
There were several plates next to them with ingredients like pork belly, squid, tofu, eggplant and more as well as peanuts that were a necessity to be paired with wine.
Seeing Shi Sui enter, Xiang Yi apologized, "It's late, and there's limited food at home. Sorry, Senior, but you'll have to make do."
Behind the camera, Li Jianyu gulped back his saliva, his greedy eyes getting strained.
Boss… You call this make do?!
Shi Sui's tone was calm. "No need to make do."
He opened the vessel and the unique sweetness of rice wine filled the air. The young girl was skillful as she was able to give ordinary rice wine a unique fragrance.
Once the wine was poured and the meat was cooked, the atmosphere became naturally harmonious.
The comments in the live stream were going crazy:
— [God, as long as these two enter a frame together, my brain automatically starts playing a sweet BGM!]
— [Can the CP fans please shut up? I suggest everyone report them as they come!]
— [They're just eating. Shi Sui just sees the Vase Fairy as his little sister is all!]
— [Oh no, Shi Yingdi is pouring wine for the Little Vase! Isn't it usually the younger person who pours for the senior? This girl with a microscope doesn't think Shi Yingdi treats the Little Vase as his junior at all! /stretches]
Shi Sui had just finished pouring the wine before Xiang Yi hurriedly took a sip.
The fresh rice fragrance enveloped in sweet wine tasted truly unique. She squinted her eyes, and after a few seconds, quietly exclaimed, "It's delicious."
Shi Sui smirked. Of course, she was a little alcoholic.
He had realized this when she was seventeen.
The thinly sliced pork belly sizzled on the grill as the fat dripped onto a baking tray below. In no time, it was cooked.
"Senior, have some meat!" Xiang Yi graciously scooped the entire pan of cooked meat into Shi Sui's plate.
—[Heh, her true intentions are showing]
—[No matter how you suck up to him, he won't date you]
—[Poison. Can a woman's worth only be realized by courting men?]
The next second—
The faint voice of Shi Yingdi echoed throughout the broadcast room. "I remember you hate pork belly the most?"
The netizens: ????
