Xu Xinghe: "..."

He looked at Ling Changfeng who was "kindly persuaded" and thought, aren't you more dangerous? ?

He remembered the terrifying picture he saw that day when he woke up, holding Ling Changfeng and sharing the bed with him...

Hehe, don't want to recall this life.

Xu Xinghe twitched the corners of his mouth: "No thanks, drinking hurts the liver, kidneys, and brain, so you should quit."

Ling Changfeng heard the words, his eyes flashed faintly, but he didn't persuade him any more, and instead picked up his chopsticks: "Let's eat."

As soon as he moved his chopsticks, everyone finally moved the chopsticks.

Dinner officially started.

Appetizers include foie gras with figs, king crab tartar, black truffle caviar, and sea urchin pudding.

The delicious and mellow taste burst in the mouth, making Chef Xu have to sigh the perfect fusion of top-notch ingredients and cooking.

During the banquet, everyone started chatting while eating again.

The focus of the topic was mainly on the newlyweds Ling Changfeng and Xu Xinghe, as well as the bachelor Qin Yuan—

"Where are you going for your honeymoon? Do you have any plans?" Lin Ting asked.

Ling Changfeng's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, but did not answer, not even raising his eyelids, and continued to pick up a piece of pan-fried foie gras with a light expression.

Lin Ting also knew his temper, he didn't expect him to answer, but turned his attention to Xu Xinghe.

The latter was slightly startled, swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Honeymoon??"

"Yes, the newlyweds always have to go on a honeymoon."

Parish also asked: "Do you have a favorite place at the moment? For example, a historic place of interest, or a beautiful and quiet island, or a city in the sky full of flowers?"

Xu Xinghe said embarrassedly, "Thank you, but we don't..."

"after a while."

Ling Changfeng, who was eating silently next to him, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Xu Xinghe's words.

Xu Xinghe was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him.

Ling Changfeng said without changing his face: "I've been a little busy recently, and I'll make up for it when I'm done."

Unfortunately, this statement immediately ushered in a wave of complaints——

"Ah?? What have you been busy with recently?"

"You've been married for more than a month, why are you still 'after a while'? It's just that Xinghe has a good temper and can bear with you. Most people have already started to make trouble."

"Yeah, Changfeng, you still..." Waite wanted to ask "Can you still do it?", but he didn't dare to speak, and temporarily changed his words: "You are only married, how can you even delay the honeymoon? ? Is it okay to become an old husband and wife in the future?"

"Even if you were busy with work before and couldn't make it, at least you have to start planning from now on, and push all the unimportant things back, so time is squeezed out."

After everyone complained about Ling Changfeng, they turned their attention to Qin Yuan.

"Old Qin, you can't do it either. How can you keep the officer busy and have no time to spend the honeymoon?"

Qin Yuan, who was shot inexplicably: "???"

This uncle never said that he would arrange a honeymoon before!

Adjutant Qin felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't expose his own officials in public, so he had to eat Huanglian dumbly, raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, it's my fault, I'll arrange it when I go back."

Saying that, he turned his head and blinked at Xu Xinghe: "Is that okay?"

Xu Xinghe: "..."

The honeymoon came too suddenly.

However, thanks to the ark, there are still two weeks of honeymoon leave, it seems a bit of a loss if you don't use it.

He thought about it and nodded silently.

After the appetizers are finished, the hard dishes are served.

Xu Xinghe's favorite bluefin tuna in the sashimi platter.

Charcoal-grilled wagyu beef with special teriyaki sauce is also the best in the world.

Major General Waite picked up the chopsticks and gave his wife a piece of beef.

Then he asked, "What else do you want to eat?"

Lin Ting took a piece of salmon sashimi and looked at Su Lan: "Can you eat these?"

Su Lan shook her head and said softly, "You can eat it yourself, my allergy is almost better, but to be on the safe side, I'd better avoid it for two more days."

Dr. Lu Zimo directly blocked Brigadier Parrish's chopsticks from holding the sashimi with his chopsticks, and then took a piece of braised crocodile tail meat for him: "Aren't you having an upset stomach recently? Eat less seafood, and they will give it to you later. Order a bowl of porridge."

"Okay." Parrish nodded with a smile, and then "returned" a piece of wagyu: "This is delicious, you can try this."

As the only single dog in the audience, Major General Qin Yuan Qin finally spoke unbearably in the loving atmosphere of everyone feeding me a spoon and I feeding you a chopstick.

"What are you doing? Why don't you have any hands? What's the habit of clipping around??"

Hearing this, everyone cast a sympathetic glance.

Except for Ling Changfeng, who was still eating seriously without saying a word, everyone else's eyes seemed to say, "Look at this sour man, so pitiful".

Qin Yuan: "..."

fuck! How can this group of people be so tired of eating? ?

At this moment, he finally felt that it was good from the elders, and decided not to complain about Ling Changfeng's boredom again.

What's the matter? It is a good habit to eat without talking or sleep without a word, and it also helps digestion!

"Why can't you learn from other people's paternalism..." Adjutant Qin was about to preach when he saw Ling Changfeng, the eating role model in his mind, stretched out his hand and picked up the last piece of big bluefin tuna in the sashimi platter—

Put it firmly into the small dish in front of Xu Xinghe.

Then he said lightly in the shocked eyes of everyone: "I remember that you like to eat this, try it."

The box was quiet again.

This time, not only Marshal Ling's old classmates were shocked, but Xu Xinghe, one of the parties involved, was also shocked.

He looked down blankly at the tuna meat on the plate, then raised his head and stammered, "Thank you, thank you."

Then he wondered, why did Ling Changfeng suddenly prepare food for himself?

Do you want to learn to "return the favor"?

Xu Xinghe hesitated for a moment, and finally, for the sake of Ling Changfeng taking himself out for a big meal, he took a piece of loose-hearted abalone for him, and whispered, "This tastes good too."

Qin Yuan: "???"

what's the situation?

I haven't seen these two for a few days, how can they progress so quickly! ?

By the time the meal was over, everyone was half full, so naturally they started drinking.

General Waite said: "I brought a bottle of wine from my house that I have stored for 70 years. It was produced by the Romany Manor in the year 259 of the Xinghe Calendar. Come and try it together?"

Colonel Lin Ting was intrigued when he heard it: "Kai Kai Kai! Seventy years of wine is older than us, so you must try it!"

Xu Xinghe was sucking the red crab pine mushroom noodles in the bowl, and he raised his head when he heard this.

Seventy years of wine?

The best wine I had ever had before was only a fifteen-year-old bottle, and it was also a guest invited by Vincent, the rich second generation, on his birthday.

You must know that no matter how expensive a meal is, there is always a price. Even if this meal costs tens of thousands, he can still afford it with his high salary at Ark.

But good wine can be said to be priceless. A bottle of top vintage wine is several million, and the supply is often in short supply, which he would never have the chance to drink.

Xu Xinghe was suddenly moved.

General Waite greeted the waiter to sober up, and turned his head to his wife: "We all drink voluntarily and according to our ability. You can rest assured that we will never drink too much!"

Mrs. Elizabeth smiled softly and her voice was soft: "It's okay, if you drink too much, you can sleep here tonight."

Waite: "..."

He patted his chest and assured: "Absolutely not drunk!"

Lin Ting smiled and gloated on the side.

The waiter stepped forward and opened the wine cautiously.

The moment the lid was pulled out, the rich and mellow wine aroma suddenly filled the entire box.

The waiter picked up the bottle and began to pour wine for the crowd with graceful movements.

As soon as he walked to Ling Changfeng's side, before he could stand still, he heard Marshal Ling's voice indifferently say, "No need."

Xu Xinghe silently waited for the waiter to come to him, thinking: As long as the other person asks, I will say "thank you".

As a result, the waiter just opened his mouth, and before he even made a sound, he heard Ling Changfeng say again: "He doesn't need it anymore."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

Team Leader Xu was indignant: Why did you say no to me! ?

Helpless Marshal Ling gave an order, he could only watch the wine that had been stored in the cellar for 70 years go away from him.

Ling Changfeng looked into his eyes and asked casually, "Want to drink?"

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He struggled for two seconds, finally eager to overcome his face, and whispered sophistry: "I don't want to drink, I want to taste it, I want to explore, not greedy."

There is no way, after all, after today, you may not be able to drink the wine of this year in this life. It would be a pity to miss it like this.

Seeing how he tried to defend himself, a long-lost smile flashed in Yitong's eyes.

Ling Changfeng raised his head and said to the waiter in a low voice, "Give him something to taste."

Xu Xinghe was satisfied.

He watched the sweet and mellow wine slowly pour into his glass, and suddenly thought of something, he continued to turn sideways, and asked Ling Changfeng in a low voice, "You don't drink at all?"

Ling Changfeng: "Don't drink."

Xu Xinghe asked curiously, "Why? Are you bad at drinking?"

Ling Changfeng: "In general, it's okay."

"Pfft—" Qin Yuan, who was sitting beside Ling Changfeng, finally couldn't help laughing when he heard their conversation here.

"The two over there, what are you talking about at the party?" General Waite, who was sitting opposite, saw that Xu Xinghe had been whispering to Ling Changfeng, and couldn't help but tease.

Then he turned his head to Qin Yuan and said, "What's so funny to hear? Tell me, let's have fun together!"

Ling Changfeng pursed his lips, his expression was indifferent, and he remained silent.

Xu Xinghe replied: "It's nothing, I just want to know how he is drinking and why he doesn't drink." After speaking, he pointed to Ling Changfeng beside him.

The crowd fell silent for the third time.

But this time, Xu Xinghe had to see that two of them were holding back their laughter.

Ling Changfeng's eyes swept across the crowd coldly, and asked blankly, "It's funny?"

"Pfft, hahaha..." Lin Ting couldn't bear it any longer, he said while laughing, "It's not funny, it's not funny, it's not funny at all."

Yitong narrowed slightly: "It's not funny, why are you laughing?"

"I, I, I... I'm laughing at this dish! Hahahaha, this dish looks so funny!" Lin Ting exclaimed.

Ling Changfeng: "..."

Xu Xinghe: "??"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Xu Xinghe became even more curious.

The black eyes looked at Ling Changfeng inquiringly for a moment, and suddenly teased: "From my experience, a person who says his alcohol intake is 'average' means that his alcohol intake is either very good or bad. Take it to the extreme, there's no such thing as 'make it up'. Listen to them, you're a poor drinker?"

Xu Xinghe smiled a little maliciously, and leaned forward to ask, "How bad? A bottle or two of beer should be enough, right?"

After a pause, he asked again, "What are you doing drunk? You won't be the same as me, will you?"

It suddenly occurred to him that if Ling Changfeng looked like a ghost when he was drunk, would he still be embarrassed to talk about himself? ?

Ling Changfeng squinted at Xu Xinghe, his eyes swept across his pale pink lips, and for a moment, he suddenly had the urge to shut up this little hedgehog in a special way.

But in the presence of so many acquaintances, he finally suppressed this urge.

Marshal Ling lowered his eyes, thinking to himself that he couldn't scare him.

Gotta take it slow.

Qin Yuan put his ears to hear this, and became curious again.

He probed, bypassed Ling Changfeng and said to Xu Xinghe, "It doesn't matter if he's drunk, what are you like when you're drunk?"

Xu Xinghe: "..."

Forget it, let's not continue this topic of drunk or not.

Xu Xinghe picked up the wine glass, shook it gently, then took a small sip and put it in his mouth.

The wine flows through the tip of his tongue, and the taste is sweet; it flows through the side of his tongue, with hidden fruit acid; it flows to the base of his tongue, slightly bitter and strong.

Finally, drinking into the stomach, full of mellow taste.

Xu Xinghe let out a satisfied sigh: "Good wine, really good wine."

Although he is not very good at tasting wine, he can still drink the basic good or bad.

So I couldn't help taking another sip and asked, "How much is this wine?"

General Waite said: "13 degrees, not spirits."

Xu Xinghe was relieved upon hearing this.

Not high, you can continue to drink it!

He also asked Ling Changfeng again: "This wine is not high in alcohol, you really don't want to drink it?"

Marshal Ling carried out his amazing self-control to the end: "Don't drink."

"Okay." Although Xu Xinghe likes dinner and drinking, he never insists on drinking.

After hearing Ling Changfeng's repeated rejections, he thought he hated drinking, so he didn't mention it, but started drinking again.

Ling Changfeng looked at Xu Xinghe's blushing face, hesitating for a while between "let it go" and "stop it", and finally reminded him: "Drink less."

"No problem." Xu Xinghe gave him an "ok" gesture.

Then took another sip.
