Chapter 614 Can't Drink (One More)
Four or five plates of side dishes, two bowls of hot soup, when Mr. Liu He followed Xia Zhaoyi into the hall, his saliva came out.

He looked around, felt that something was missing, and asked Xia Zhaoyi to wait.

Mr. Liu He turned around and left. He bumped into Shen Lie who came out with two plates of fried vegetables in the kitchen. He stopped and asked, "What kind of wine does Shen Shaoxia like to drink?"

"The younger generation can't drink tonight," Shen Lie said, "I'll leave early tomorrow morning, it's not easy to drink."

"Can't you have a glass?"

"...The younger generation is too strong to drink, and even a glass of wine will cause drowsiness."

"Okay," Mr. Liu He raised his eyebrows, "I almost forgot your identities, but it would be a pity not to drink a few glasses of this delicious food."

"If sir doesn't mind, can this junior replace wine with tea?" Shen Lie said.

"My old cellar, but I have treasured it for several years, and I have never found a chance to drink it. It is a rare pleasure tonight, the courtyard is lively, and there are old friends, alas." Mr. Liu He sighed.

"..."

"It's okay, I'll drink it myself, you go quickly, the girl might be tired in there alone, you go and accompany her."

"Okay." Shen Lie replied.

Xia Zhaoyi will not be tired, he is looking at Mr. Liu He's calligraphy and painting hanging in the hall.

Hearing the sound of Shen Lie coming in, Xia Zhaoyi turned around, with a smile on his lips, and said, "Uncle Liu is going to get some wine."

"Well," Shen Lie smiled lightly, "he looks quite interested."

Xia Zhaoyi walked over, looked at the hot and delicate dishes on the table, and said, "It's a pity that I'm leaving tomorrow. If there is a chance in the future, I really want to stay with Uncle Liu for a few more days."

Shen Lie looked at her and said: "There will be such an opportunity, by the way, your injured friend, do you want to send some food?"

"He's not my friend," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "I picked it up by chance."

"……you do not know?"

"Seeing him grieve for his brother's death today, I feel a lot of emotion in my heart. Moreover, there is no way to see him die."

Shen Lie nodded: "Yes."

"I'll send the medicine over there later," Xia Zhaoyi said, "He's good at fist and kick, but I don't know his temperament and background. I'll save a few more hands here, in case he does anything wrong to Uncle Liu."

"Well," Shen Lie said, "If you want to stay behind, it's best to use the soldiers and horses sitting in the camp directly."

"How do you know I have such a plan?" Xia Zhaoyi laughed again.

"What's your plan?" Mr. Liuhe came in with two jars of wine in his arms, "Ali, what are you talking about?"

Xia Zhaoyi went over to pick up one of the jars, put it on the table and said with a smile: "I'm telling Mr. Shen that Uncle Liu is an old fox. He used to sell people and count the money for you!"

"Hahaha..." Mr. Liu He waved his hands, "It's all gone, all gone."

The table is not big, although there are many dishes, but each dish is medium in portion.

After sitting down at the table, Mr. Liu He poured wine and insisted on pouring a small cup for both Shen Lie and Xia Zhaoyi.

Both of them are extremely self-disciplined people, it is already late at night, and they have to go on their way tomorrow, so they will not drink a single drop of that small glass of wine.

Mr. Liu He ate slowly, chatted a lot, drank more wine, because he got together with the old man's children, so when the wine was strong, all the chats went to the old man.

Starting from Xia Wenshan, we talked about the glory of Dingguo Duke's Mansion in the past, and then we talked about Xia Zhaoyi.

Xia Zhaoyi was eating next to him and chatting with him, hearing him keep praising herself, she didn't feel shy or uncomfortable at all.

When Mr. Liu He exaggerated his words and blew them into the sky, she laughed several times, and she didn't forget to raise her hand to pat Mr. Liu He's back to prevent him from hiccupping and interrupting her.

Shen Lie is also very cooperative. Mr. Liu He is extremely good at talking, and his descriptions are vivid and lifelike. After he is drunk, his eyebrows are dancing, and the words he speaks become vivid pictures.

During the period, Shen Lie often couldn't help but look at Xia Zhaoyi. The parties in the story just sat beside him gracefully. Shen Lie really wanted to ask her if those interesting things were true.

After a meal of food and wine, it's almost ugly time.

Mr. Liu He was drowsy, Shen Lie got up and helped him back to the room.

When he came back, Xia Zhaoyi was cleaning up the dishes on the table.

Shen Lie came to tidy up with her, and said, "Mr. Liu fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow."

"In this kind of night, we should take advantage of the wind in the courtyard and put the food and wine in the courtyard," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile. "If you get drunk and sleepy, you can sleep directly on the recliner in the courtyard and pick up a thick quilt to cover it. It’s a pity that the current situation is not suitable for publicity, and I really lost a lot of fun.”

Shen Lie smiled: "Aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

"I'm afraid," Xia Zhaoyi picked up the dishes in his hands, and said with a smile, "but it's fun, life is alive, and it's fun to indulge and indulge a few times once in a while."

She turned and went outside, put the dishes in the little basket by the well, and fetched a pail of water.

Shen Lie also came out and put the bowls and chopsticks in.

The two continued to chat, washing the dishes together, and chatting, Xia Zhaoyi gradually became distracted when he saw Shen Lie's skillful way of cleaning the dishes.

It was still a very beautiful hand, slender and fair, with distinct phalanges and rounded fingertips, but there were more calluses on the hands.

"Shen Lie," Xia Zhaoyi raised his clear eyes and looked at the bright and handsome young man in the night, "Although you don't like to mention it, I still want to ask, what happened to you all these years?"

Shen Lie looked sideways, tilted his head, and the moonlight cast a perfect shadow on his tall and straight nose bridge on his face.

"I don't dislike you mentioning it," Shen Lie said, looking at her with a tenderness that has never been seen in these years, "It's just..."

It's just that he didn't want to lie to her.

But don't lie, tell her the truth, and he is afraid that he will become the type of person she hates the most.

"If it's hard to say, then I won't say it," Xia Zhaoyi said, "I just want to know if you are doing well, or...or you will tell me about the person who offended you?"

"...Ari wants to avenge me?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "I may not be able to avenge the big revenge, but sneak attack is barely good at it. When he is unprepared, put a sack on him and drag him to the corner to beat him up. It can be regarded as venting your anger for you."

Shen Lie smiled, his teeth were white, he lowered his head and put the clean bowl in his hands aside, picked up another one to clean, and said in a low voice: "Over the years, I have had many lives on my hands, and..."

He paused and did not continue speaking.

He wanted to be honest with her, but he didn't have the courage after all.

At the same time, thinking of those terrible images in his mind, Shen Lie's lips were bleeding a little.

"I won't ask any more," Xia Zhaoyi said at this moment, "Shen Lie, you are well, don't say any more, and don't think about it."

Shen Lie looked at her, now that she was taller, the distance between the two of them was shortened a lot, her eyes were also closer to him, the light in her eyes made Shen Lie want to bow his head to kiss.

Such offensive thoughts should not have occurred.

Shen Lie took a deep breath and said, "Ali, do you still remember... Zhang Meng beside me?"
