Chapter 503 Linglong Dice An Hongdou
Su Chengyi looked at Lin Zhiwan's embarrassed expression and guessed that she usually received only compliments.
Lin Tong and Yang Liu have always been reluctant to say disparaging words. Coupled with Lin Zhiwan's personal situation, their two "teachers" must praise them when they can, and praise them even if they can't.
But why?
Su Chengyi leaned on the desk and slowly screwed up the ink bottle.
In short, he didn't think Lin Zhiwan needed special treatment like this.
So what if she has no advantage in reading and writing?
Su Chengyi looked towards the kitchen. Anyway, she peeled the grapefruit so well.
Lin Zhiwan has washed a transparent fruit bowl and is using gloves to carefully peel the red grapefruit into the bowl piece by piece.
The previous video of "Ling Zhi Bowl" was a tutorial on a dessert that is very suitable for summer - poplar nectar.
That's why she specially bought mangoes and grapefruits to go home. She originally thought it would take several recordings to be successful, but she didn't expect that it would be perfect after just one try.
Mangoes go bad easily, so we all ate them together that day, and only the grapefruit was left today.
Lin Zhiwan peeled off a large bowl of grapefruit and held it in front of Su Chengyi with her eyebrows raised.
She had nothing to offer, so she had to convey the message to him with her eyes:
"Try it?"
Sometimes I feel that Lin Zhiwan’s eyes can indeed speak.
Su Chengyi lowered his head slightly, looked at her expectant eyes, and picked up a piece of grapefruit.
Sister Lin carefully selects the food, and the taste is naturally very good. She has a natural sensitivity to the ingredients.
It doesn’t have the astringent taste that grapefruit often has, and has just the right amount of sweetness and sourness. It tastes both thirsty and greasy.
“This is all for Zou Lian?”
Su Chengyi asked with raised eyebrows.
Lin Zhiwan nodded "Yeah".
"It's not necessary."
Su Chengyi took the grapefruit bowl from her hand.
Before Lin Zhiwan had time to be surprised, he quickly turned around and walked out.
"I hear Brother Da Fei seems to be calling us to eat. He likes to make those big meat skewers. It just so happens that we can eat some fruit together to relieve our tiredness."
"!!!"
< br>Lin Zhiwan took off her gloves and hurriedly followed him, wanting to tell him that there was still something in the refrigerator, and this was a return gift.
But Su Chengyi walked very fast, and went downstairs as fast as skating.
As a result, when Lin Zhiwan ran all the way and chased her downstairs, the scene in front of her was exactly what this man said.
The long table at the food stall has been set up. Brother Xiao Fei is instructing the employees in the store to help set up the chairs. Brother Da Fei, shirtless, is sprinkling chili pepper and cumin on the big skewers of beef and mutton.
Zou Lian, who originally came only to deliver a plum, was also left behind. He decisively chose a seat in the corner to sit, bared his teeth at Su Chengyi, and threatened him not to sit over.
Lin Tong was originally going to help carry the plates, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Brother Xiaofei pushed him to sit down at the table.
Su Chengyi held the grapefruit bowl and sat next to Lin Tong as if nothing had happened.
“Do you want to eat?”
"Thank you, Mr. Yi!"
As soon as Lin Tong showed a grateful smile, he realized that the bowl seemed familiar, as if it belonged to his family.
He raised his head and looked around, and sure enough he saw his sister at the top of the stairs. After looking at each other, she smiled and nodded.
It means telling him to just sit there and eat well.
Lin Tong sighed without any trace, picked up a grapefruit wedge from the bowl, and when he ate it into his mouth, he felt a sourness that didn't exist in the first place.
"It's so wonderful that everyone can gather here today!"
Before the official start, Brother Da Fei, who was in charge of this "banquet", had to say a few words as usual.
The people who live here seem to be used to it. Everyone is waiting in a polite manner, and no one uses their chopsticks in advance.
Although the grilled fish and beef and mutton in front of me look really tempting.
Not only that, the wine poured into the wine glass seemed to be the plum wine made by Brother Da Fei himself. It smelled of a special fruity aroma, which made people want to try it.
Su Chengyi licked his lips and asked Lin Tong in a low voice.
“How long does Brother Da Fei usually have to say?”
Lin Tong thought for a while and lowered his voice and replied:
“It doesn’t take long, Brother Da Fei’s cultural level It won’t last more than two minutes.”
“That’s good.”
Su Chengyi sat upright again. He had already set his sights on the piece of fish belly that looked very burnt.
“Um, this, that, cough.”
Sure enough, Big Fei was at a loss for words after a while. He held the wine glass and looked at Little Fei next to him with some embarrassment.
Of course the latter understood what he meant and stepped forward to take the wine glass from his hand.
“Today, old and new friends come to meet each other. I have nothing to do with anyone else. I just want to drink and talk and have a happy time!”
Brother Xiaofei raised his glass and knocked on the table.
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!!!”
The atmosphere was very lively as people drank and drank.
Su Chengyi could hardly imagine seeing such a scene of neighborhood harmony in a unit building in the urban area.
The "new friends and old friends" mentioned just now have an obvious direction. The new friends probably refer to Zou Lian who just moved here, and the old friends probably refer to him.
Su Chengyi poked the piece of fish and put it into the bowl.
The fish skin is grilled very crispy, with the aroma of Sichuan peppercorns, the fish meat is tender and smooth, and it is wrapped in red oil and grilled very delicious.
Su Chengyi choked on the spicy food. She still felt that no matter how expensive or luxurious a restaurant was, she couldn't taste such a taste.
The food stalls are noisy and joyous, and the smoke from the oven on the table is mixed with the warm summer wind. The smell of plum wine is floating in the air.
Su Chengyi was thinking about taking away the delicious-looking fish tail when someone tapped him on the shoulder.
It was Brother Xiao Fei who came over with a smile while holding a wine flask. He glanced at his still full wine glass and "tsk" with feigned dissatisfaction.
"Oh, you are hiding here to make it difficult for me to find you! So you are secretly raising fish?"
"I didn't have time to drink."
Su Chengyi said He spread his hands with an innocent face.
"Okay, okay, let's have one with me first!"
Brother Xiao Fei happily poured himself a full cup, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Zou Lian who was busy playing with skewers in another corner.
"Hey! That kid over there! Come over here, come over too!"
Brother Xiaofei immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
Zou Lian looked to the side in disbelief and pointed at himself.
"Me?"
"Yes, just you! Let's have a drink together!"
"."
Zou Lian had to reluctantly put down the drink in his hand Lamb kebabs.
God knows how many days it has been since he had eaten meat so happily. He always felt that he would have indigestion after returning home from such a big meal today. Let’s buy some stomach and digestive tablets later.
After Zou Lian came over reluctantly, Brother Xiao Fei raised his glass again and said happily:
"It's great! I know you three young people. I feel like I'm dozens of years younger." Years old! Xiao Zou, you are mature. Yi’s good friend, right?
Cheng Yi’s good friend is our good friend. If you tell me anything in the future, you will definitely not be bullied.”
He. He patted Zou Lian's shoulder vigorously.
Zou Lian was so photographed that he choked on his breath and was speechless. He just nodded frequently.
"Okay, let's do it!"
The rim of the cup collided with a crisp sound.
The homemade fruit wine tastes sweet, Su Chengyi thought when he took the first sip.
Then the degree must not be very high.
So he innocently let down his guard.
After several large drinks in a row, I finally realized something wasn’t right.
It’s true that I didn’t have that irritating and nauseating feeling, but I just felt dizzy and suddenly very sleepy.
Su Chengyi gradually felt that the sounds of talking and laughing around him were becoming distant, and they turned into a drowsy sleepiness.
Lin Tong was hesitant to speak since he drank his first drink, but he seemed to be very happy when he drank, and he was afraid that reminding him would disappoint others, so he kept watching him with fear. state.
However, Su Chengyi didn't show shame when he drank, and he didn't act like a drunkard. He was not much different from his usual state, so Lin Tong couldn't detect anything fishy even after monitoring him for a long time.
It wasn't until he suddenly stood up unsteadily for some reason and almost knocked the table over accidentally that Lin Tong realized that this guy had been drunk early in the morning!
Zou Lian was gnawing roasted pig's trotters across from him and sneered in his heart. At first glance, this guy looks like he doesn't drink often and has an extremely average drinking capacity.
You know, the most uncontrollable alcohol content in the world is this home-brewed wine.
It looks and smells like a fresh and inconspicuous fruit wine. In fact, it is very likely to be poured in one glass.
But ridicule was ridicule. Seeing Lin Tong struggling to support the staggered Su Chengyi, Zou Lian finally cursed in a low voice and stood up.
He put down the fragrant roasted pig's trotters, took off his disposable gloves, and stepped forward to hold Su Chengyi's right arm.
"Let's go, help him upstairs to rest for a while."
When someone helped him, Lin Tong breathed a sigh of relief. He was especially worried that he would not be able to help Su Chengyi, and the two of them might end up together. Planted into the tin trash can next to it.
“Classmate Zou Lian.”
As he was going upstairs, something suddenly occurred to him and Lin Tong said.
“What’s wrong?”
In fact, Zou Lian’s attitude towards Lin Tong was still very friendly.
"Can Mr. Yi go lie down at your place for a while? My sheets and quilt covers have been washed today."
Lin Tong pointed to the man sitting on the balcony with some embarrassment. Three-piece bed set fluttering in the wind.
"."
Zou Lian's face was uglier than eating a fly.
He originally wanted to say that your house has two bedrooms, but then he thought about it. It was a girl's room, and it didn't seem good to let a drunkard lie in it.
But he really didn’t want this guy to sleep in his own bed. He always felt very uncomfortable.
Looking at his troubled expression, Lin Tong waved his hand again and said:
"Actually, you can rest on the sofa for a while. My sofa is quite big and is for two people."
"That's good."
Zou Lian turned his face away and said in a nonchalant tone. He replied in waves.
After a lot of effort, the two finally moved Su Chengyi to the sofa.
Zou Lian put his hands on his hips and gasped, and glared at Su Chengyi angrily.
"I don't know how to drink hard, I really have you!"
Su Chengyi closed his eyes and smiled, as if he heard what he said.
"Hey, why are you pretending to be asleep when you are clearly awake?! You're tricking me into doing hard work for you, right?!"
Zou Lian was easily angered by him again and immediately yelled aggressively. road.
"Classmate Zou Lian! He must not be sober right now. He can't hear you when you talk to him!
Okay, okay, let him rest here for a while, let's go downstairs first! I just heard that Brother Da Fei also wants to have a drink with you. "
Lin Tongsheng was afraid that he would take this great opportunity to vent his anger on the drunk person, so he had to find an excuse to pull him away first.
"No, he was really awake. I saw him smiling"
Zou Lian's rebuttal voice mixed with Lin Tong's persuasive voice, and disappeared together with the two people's steps downstairs.
The cushions on the sofa smelled of washing powder, and Su Chengyi moved his limbs with difficulty. Posture.
In fact, he was indeed still awake, but he couldn't exert much strength and his consciousness was hazy.
Half asleep and half awake, I couldn’t open my eyes.
Su Chengyi felt in a daze that he should have fallen asleep, but he could vaguely hear some noises from the dinner party downstairs.
When you are drunk, you have no concept of time.
I don’t know how long it took, but he felt something cold covering his forehead, and then he wiped it gently and patiently.
After that, the feeling of hotness after drinking subsided a lot, leaving only a light and slightly tipsy feeling.
Hazy, it feels like I have returned to a peaceful afternoon in my childhood, which makes me just want to take a nap.
What woke Su Chengyi up was the sweet smell of honey mixed with grapefruit. When he opened his eyes, he vaguely saw a white porcelain bowl on the coffee table next to him.
The smell came from there, and it was still steaming. It was probably honey grapefruit tea or something, used to sober up.
Su Chengyi rubbed her temples with difficulty, focused her eyes again, and saw the figure sitting at the desk.
It seems to be Lin Zhiwan.
The length of her hair only reaches her shoulders, probably for the convenience of daily care. Looking at it from this angle, you can see the shape of the butterfly bone on her back.
Lin Zhiwan's sitting posture is very upright and serious, as if she were writing seriously.
I’m practicing calligraphy again, Su Chengyi thought silently.
At this moment, he suddenly regretted not praising Lin Zhiwan before.
Well, at least there should be a "Most Diligent Student Award", right?
Su Chengyi raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It had been almost two hours since she started eating.
Calculating this way, he slept for at least an hour.
But the bustle downstairs has not diminished, but is getting more and more exciting.
“Wanwan!”
Suddenly a powerful shout came from downstairs.
Lin Zhiwan was startled and subconsciously turned her head to look at Su Chengyi on the sofa.
Su Chengyi reacted quickly and chose to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
Otherwise, if he wakes up, Sister Lin will definitely be busy checking in with him again.
“Wanwan, please help me make another glass of wine!”
It seemed to be Big Fei's voice.
Hey guys, Su Cheng realized the big jar of wine they brought out at the beginning of the meal.
Is this all done?
Lin Zhiwan walked to the door and seemed to nod in agreement.
"Come on! Oh, no matter what, you have to take a few sips today."
"That's right!"
"Tongtong go and pull your sister down."
The pressure downstairs became more and more intense. Lin Zhiwan was obviously not used to being the focus of the public, so she had no choice but to nod. He nodded, then hesitated at the door.
Su Chengyi seemed to be able to feel her tangled gaze resting on his face for a while.
After a while, I heard her hurriedly coming downstairs.
Only then did Su Chengyi open his eyes again.
Next time, I really shouldn’t drink too much. The two siblings will have to take turns taking care of him, just like changing shifts in a nursery.
Su Chengyi sighed, stood up with difficulty, and reached for the bowl of honey grapefruit tea on the table.
The desk is already filled with Lin Zhiwan’s special calligraphy practice props, which were all put away in embarrassment because of his teasing.
Su Chengyi was thinking about whether to praise her masterpiece without conscience later, when a sudden draft blew in the room.
The sheets Lin Tong hung out to dry on the balcony were scratched, but fortunately he had the foresight to clamp the corners of the quilt in advance.
But the calligraphy papers on the desk were not so lucky. When the wind blew, they scattered and flew everywhere in the room.
Su Chengyi spread his palms to protect the mouth of the bowl in time, successfully preventing the paper from falling into his grapefruit tea.
Good risk.
Su Chengyi let go of his hand, picked up the messy white paper, and looked at the contents on it with interest.
Although they are written densely, they are all the same poem.
"The exquisite dice are decorated with red beans, and I miss you deeply."
It is still written very reluctantly, stroke by stroke, but the whole thing is actually neat.
The corners of Su Chengyi's mouth raised, but she didn't expect that she actually wrote this poem.
From Wen Tingyun's "Two New Poems on Yangliu Branches".
Like the exquisite dice inlaid with red beans, do you know the longing that goes deep into your bones?
It should be taught by Yang Liu, she likes to teach such delicate love poems the most.
While recalling the content of the whole poem, Su Chengyi bent down and picked up another piece of white paper that fell at his feet.
When his eyes fell on the paper, he was slightly startled.
“.”
Su Chengyi felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart. He stood up from the sofa and grabbed a few scattered pieces of white paper, trying to prove that this outrageous idea might be his illusion.
However, there are probably not so many illusions in the world.
The same verses are written on these falling white papers.
"The exquisite dice are decorated with red beans, and I miss you deeply."
