Chapter 480 - 151: An Accident_3
"You don’t drink?" Old General Jih’s eyes suddenly revealed disappointment, as if Jiang Li had done something regrettable.
"I get drunk." Jiang Li said.
"Then don’t drink, just watch us drink." Situ Jiuyue said, and then he lifted a jar of wine from the ground.
It was Jiang Li who drank the fruit dew with a tiny porcelain cup, while everyone else used large bowls to receive the wine from the jar. But, in the end, all had to raise their drinks together.
"May the New Year bring fortune, and may everything go as you wish!" Kong Liu said in his coarse and gruff voice. He was a simple man, and these few words were already the most florid ones he could muster. He had no more to say.
Jiang Li raised her cup and clinked it against everyone else’s bowls, making a crisp sound, and some of the liquor splashed out, releasing its fresh fragrance.
The fruit dew didn’t contain alcohol, only a sweet taste. Jiang Li set down her cup. Surprisingly, she had thought that someone as elegant as Jih Heng would also use a tiny wine cup, but, unexpectedly, he too took up a wine bowl and drained it in one go.
Unlike Kong Liu’s roughness, Jih Heng holding a wine bowl was like a beauty wielding a sword, possessing a kind of unrestrained grace that only seemed to make him more charming. Jiang Li pondered, generally speaking, one can discern a person’s temperament from their actions. But Jih Heng’s behavior always contradicted itself, and the deeper she tried to understand him, the more she realized how little she knew.
"I see everyone is quite happy, Ah Heng," Old General Jih suddenly said, "why don’t you sing one for us?"
The smile on Jih Heng’s face faded instantly, and Jiang Li could clearly feel the young man seated beside her stiffen slightly.
Wen Renyao, oblivious to this, cheerfully said, "Sing one, sing one!"
