Chapter 15.1 (2/2)
A direct result of often meeting acquaintances, Yang Wei Qi’’s uncle invited Zheng Xie for dinner.
After returning back into the country, Yang Wei Qi rarely meet her parents. Since she reached her adulthood where she left home to study, she has a more intimate relations.h.i.+p with her aunt and uncle. The childless couple loved her like their own child.
Speaking of her uncle whom now had retreated to the second line had worked with Zheng Xie’s father for many years. He had seen Zheng Xie growing up/ When Zheng Xie’s father was transferred, they had lost contact. Today, he heard about Zheng Xie and his niece, hence naturally intended to come forward as her elders while renewing the old friends.h.i.+p.
Yang Wei Qi is still hesitating to speak to Zheng Xie about this. She thought that he would rebuffed. She happens to had to go back and did not expect that Zheng Xie would promised to meet the uncle.
The atmosphere during the meal is quite good. Although Zheng Xie is always cold but when facing the elders, he is very courteous. He would always be calm and his emotion well taken care of.
During the meeting, they reminisce some of Zheng Xie’s childhood memories. Occasionally there were reference made to Zheng Xie’s mother and “He He.” Yang Wei Qi had discovered long time ago that Zheng Xie had hard to read expression. He is always calm and decent just like he is wearing a layer of mask. But whenever he hears the mentioned of his mother and He He, there will be a subtle hint of emotion on his face, making it seem real.
Uncle Yang meeting up with the grown up version of the young boy from before, he got into high spirit. He filled up many of Zheng Xie’s wine. A little drunk, half-jokingly and half seriously, he asked if Zheng Xie intended to marry his niece and become a part of his family. Zheng Xie smiled but kept quiet. Yang Wei Qi immediately declared that the two of them are just friends.
Drinking too much, she couldn’t help to feel a little discourage. Uncle has poor health while after going out together with Zheng Xie for a while, she had never seen him touching wine. Taking the opportunity when Zheng Xie went out to answer his phone, the quiet aunty smiled and said: “You uncle has identified, such as the character after drinking wine. Seeing a lot, the kind of people who in a drunken state will betray themselves to others. This is for you to examine. Zheng Xie as a child has always been a good child with deep thoughts. After so many years of no contact with Zheng Xie, he want to verify it. So far, he is not bad.”
Yang Wei Qi is dumbfounded and eventually drove Zheng Xie back.
Zheng Xie drank much more than uncle. While uncle had reached his limit, Zheng Xie’s complexion remains the same. He just had a little misty eyes. An elbow on the window, with head leaning on the hands, he sigh slightly and said: “The last time I drank so much was presumably seven or eight years ago.” He seems to carefully try to recall and added: “Seven years ago.”
“Your alcohol tolerance level is not bad. Not many people can drink better than my uncle.”
“A little more I will vomit. That uncle Yang, this time I accompanied him to drink to the limit, then next time he will not push me. Otherwise, he will continue to torture me with alcohol next time.”
