Chapter 1392 - The Side Effects of Excessive Bliss (1/2)
After some boisterous fun, Xu Tongxuan asked cautiously, “God Si, why don’t… you and Xinya perform a couple cup-crossing with us too!?!”
She refused to admit that she just wanted to see the composed Si Yiyan being all shy and embarrassed when crossing cups with Wen Xinya. She was hoping to see him break out of his usual composure.
Si Yiyan looked up and asked, “Do you want to watch us cross cups?”
Ye Feiyu and Du Ruo nodded fervently. “We do!”
Si Yiyan said, “You’ll get the chance to see it during our wedding!”
Cup-crossing signified marriage!
Newlyweds would usually cross cups on the night of their wedding before they consummated their marriage. It signified the union of two people, endless bliss and the couple’s intentions to grow old together!
As a man who respected Traditional marriage customs, Si Yiyan obviously wouldn’t perform such a significant custom as a joke during a gathering. He felt that it could only be done once during their wedding.
They looked at each other in shock and dismay.
“Don’t you want to cross cups? Why have you stopped drinking?”
Si Yiyan managed to salvage the situation and they silently gave him a Like. Of course, that did not include Gu Junling, Zhou Tianyu, and Xu Zhenyu, who detested Si Yiyan.
At last, Gu Junling and Zhou Tianyu crossed cups resignedly under the pressure of their friends.
The gathering only ended at half-past ten at night. Xu Zhenyu had been trying to find a chance to make Si Yiyan drink. At last, Wen Xinya drank on his behalf. However, Si Yiyan did not stop her either. Instead, he hid behind Wen Xinya’s back and let her drink for him, thus making Xu Zhenyu feel extremely exasperated.
“Hug me!” Wen Xinya exclaimed while staring at Si Yiyan with teary eyes and extended arms.
Si Yiyan pulled her into his embrace and chuckled before asking, “Are you drunk?”
Wen Xinya rubbed her head against Si Yiyan’s chest and exclaimed, “No!”
Si Yiyan laughed silently, for he knew that she was almost drunk.
“You drank plenty of alcohol just now. Are you alright?” Although she had been drinking on Si Yiyan’s behalf, Si Yiyan was still forced to drink lots of alcohol.
For the past three years, Si Yiyan had been receiving treatment from Old Mr. Du. Although his old ailments had already recovered and he did not suffer a relapse in the past three years, it was still difficult for his condition to be treated completely because of how long he had been delaying treatment for. He would still have to rely on frequent treatments and nourishing. Besides… Old Mr. Du had also specially instructed him to be more mindful of the details and abstain from alcohol.
Hence, Wen Xinya had been strictly forcing him to reduce his alcohol intake.
Fortunately, Si Yiyan was not an avid drinker. Besides, he was on top of the world and commanded great respect. Even if he did not wish to drink during social events and entertainment dinners, no one would dare to force him to do so.
Si Yiyan gently caressed her rosy cheeks and said softly, “I know my limits. I take my health seriously too.”
Throughout all these years, Wen Xinya had been putting in great effort into nourishing his body and his ailments were also healing rapidly beyond Old Mr. Du’s expectations. Wen Xinya deserved credit for that.
Since Wen Xinya cared so much about his body, he naturally wouldn’t make her worry.
