Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Drunk and Disorderly 1
Translator: 549690339 7 —
“Okay.” Wei Jinyi obediently agreed, then picked up the bowl full of soup and drained it with a gulp.
Then he handed the empty bowl over to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo glanced at the empty bowl and then at Wei Jinyi.
She vaguely felt as if Wei Jinyi was seeking praise from her!
“Um…second brother, you’re wonderful… you actually finished drinking everything! Very obedient!” Wei Ruo tentatively complimented.
Then Wei Jinyi, satisfied, put down the empty bowl.
In that moment, Wei Ruo knew that her initial judgment was correct. Wei Jinyi had indeed brought the empty bowl to her for praises!
As Wei Ruo was pondering on how to navigate this version of Wei Jinyi, he opened his mouth again:
“Ruoruo you are beautiful.”
Wei Jinyi stared at Wei Ruo with sincere eyes, there was even a hint of childlike quality in his demeanor.
Wei Ruo didn’t know whether to laugh or be speechless and muttered: “If you were not this good-looking and sincere, I’d consider you as a stinky hooligan.” The distance between a refined gentleman and a fool is just a cup of alcohol, albeit a weak one with an alcohol percentage less than twenty.
“Ruoruo, can I perform a sword dance for you?” Wei Jinyi suddenly asked. “What?” Wei Ruo was stupefied for a moment, not instantly reacting to what Wei Jinyi had said.
Then Wei Jinyi stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and his intention became clear through his actions.
He was going to perform a sword dance for her!
Could he perform a sword dance? How would this man, elegant and refined, looking like a genteel scholar look dancing with a sword?
Would it be outrageous? Would he stumble? Or make a fool of himself?
Several imagined scenarios quickly drifted through Wei Ruo’s mind: clumsy dancing, stumbles, slips, even self-spanking.
Xiaobei looked anxious, contemplating whether to stop their young master. However, if the young master were empowered by liquor, his attempt to intervene might be futile. It could even lead to further complicated situations if they ended up clashing.
After debating for a while and assessing several potential outcomes, Xiaobei finally decided to stand by and not intervene.
When Wei Jinyi arrived next to a small cluster of bamboo, he lithely hooked up a bamboo branch lying on the ground with his foot and steadily caught it with his right hand.
Wei Ruo looked surprised. Despite his inebriated state, Wei Jinyi’s physical movements were remarkably deft.
Then using the bamboo stalk as a sword, he began to dance. The sword and his body moved harmoniously, displaying a magnificent display of martial arts.
Each move was swift and fluid, and carried a unique blend of strength and gentleness.
It was Wei Ruo’s first time seeing Wei Jinyi perform a sword dance. Although she herself didn’t possess any martial arts skills, she had seen Xiumei and Xu Zhengyong practicing martial arts, so she knew Wei Jinyi’s “sword” was not a mere waving about.
As a martial artist Xiumei whispered in Wei Ruo’s ear, “Miss, the young master’s swordsmanship is superb!”
“No wonder he has such a good physique. So, when he mentioned exercising, he wasn’t bluffing me. He’s actually been working out,” Wei Ruo remarked.
Next to them, Xiaobei held his forehead, perplexed. If this continued, their young master might reveal all his secrets to the young lady.
Even though the young lady and they had gone through trials and tribulations together, it might not be that good if she knew certain things, should it?
All Xiaobei could do was to fret internally, praying that their young master would sober up soon.
After performing a series of swordplay, Wei Jinyi put down the bamboo stalk and returned to Wei Ruo’s side, his deep eyes staring intently at Wei Ruo.
“Did I dance well?” Wei Jinyi asked, hope gleaming in his eyes like a child eager for praise after accomplishing a task.
Hmm, excellent, very good, you did it the best!” Wei Ruo praised.
Upon being satisfied, Wei Jinyi’s face inevitably broke into a sunny, radiant smile.
Usually, his smile was quiet and unnoticeable, always polite and mild.
This kind of radiant smile was the first time Wei Ruo was seeing.
Not just Wei Ruo, even Xiaobei who had served him for over a decade was seeing it for the first time.
“Alright, alright, we’ve finished the sword dance. How about we go to the room for a nap?” Wei Ruo placated Wei Jinyi in a tone used when cooing to a small child.
