Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)
"Let me see it." Little Jing Kong said.
In light of the little fellow's birthday, Xiao Heng didn't disappoint him. He chose a fine-tipped writing brush from a pile of gifts and handed it over, saying, "Here."
"A writing brush?" Little Jing Kong shook his small rattle-drum, "My gift is better. JiaoJiao still likes me the most!"
Several people went to the backyard to set off firecrackers.
"Brother-in-law!" Gu Yan suddenly leaned over to Xiao Heng, saying mysteriously, "Come with me, I have something good to show you!"
Xiao Heng followed Gu Yan into the main room.
At that moment, everyone was in the backyard watching Little Jing Kong and Gu Xiaoshun set off firecrackers. The main room was empty, leaving only Gu Yan and Xiao Heng.
Gu Yan sneakily took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, "I'm freezing! I'm freezing to death!"
“What's this?" Xiao Heng asked, puzzled.
"Wine!" Gu Yan raised an eyebrow, "Not just any wine, it's a dual-brewed liquor, made from pear blossoms and osmanthus flowers. It's something I managed to wheedle out of Granduncle after a lot of effort."
"What do you need that for?" Xiao Heng asked.
Gu Yan didn't flinch as he said, "I want to drink. Brother-in-law, let's drink together!"
I’ll get you drunk, and then JiaoJiao can do as she pleases!
For JiaoJiao, Gu Yan was willing to go to extremes.
"You can't drink." Xiao Heng objected firmly.
Gu Yan had a heart condition, and besides, he was too young. Drinking was out of the question.
Gu Yan looked at him pleadingly, "Just one cup, it's fine."
Xiao Heng insisted, "Not even half a cup."
Gu Yan pouted, "But I wanted to drink with you... I’m this old… but I've never drunk before... I heard this kind of wine isn't intoxicating... Brother-in-law, just let me taste what it's like, can you?"
Xiao Heng remained firm, "No."
Gu Yan lowered his head in disappointment.
His pitiful appearance was honestly hard to resist, but Xiao Heng was resolute. He wouldn't allow Gu Yan to drink.
As if sensing Xiao Heng's unwavering resolve, Gu Yan took a step back, "Then, how about you take a few sips for me, brother-in-law, and then tell me what it tastes like?"
"...Alright." On such a festive day, Xiao Heng couldn't ruin the kid’s mood any further.
Seeing his compliance, Gu Yan's eyes lit up. Happier than a child, he personally brought a cup and filled it for Xiao Heng.
He knew his brother-in-law had a good capacity for alcohol, but this wasn't just any dual-brewed wine. He had stolen it from Granduncle. One cup would actually make someone drunk and dreamy!
Let’s get you drunk!
Brother-in-law!
Xiao Heng took the cup.
Just as he was about to drink, Little Jing Kong and Gu Xiaoshun, who were playing around, suddenly rushed in without warning. Little Jing Kong then collided with Xiao Heng, causing his hand to shake, spilling the entire cup of wine!
Gu Yan: "..."
Gu Yan clenched his small fists. Little! Monk!
"Sorry, brother-in-law!" Little Jing Kong apologized, then made a funny face at Gu Xiaoshun, "Nyeh-nyeh-nyeh! Come catch me!"
Having said that, he swiftly ran out.
Gu Xiaoshun chased after him.
Gu Yan suppressed his anger, poured another cup for his brother-in-law, and smilingly said, "It's okay, there's more."
Xiao Heng took the second cup.
But then, the two troublemakers came back again. This time, it was Gu Xiaoshun who bumped into Xiao Heng and knocked over the cup in his hand.
The cup crashed to the ground.
Gu Xiaoshun: "...Uh? It broke into pieces, are you all right?"
Gu Yan was furious!
I’ll break your head!
We’re almost out of wine!
Gu Yan was almost driven mad by these two fellows!
This was indeed, ‘can't do anything right, but always the first one to get into trouble.’
"I'm fine." Xiao Heng said. "Let me clean up. You two, go outside, don't step on the debris."
Saying that, he grabbed a broom and started sweeping up the remnants on the floor.
At that moment, Gu Xiaoshun noticed that Xiao Heng's gait was different from usual. He wasn't limping anymore, he... he...
"Ah, brother-in-law..." Gu Xiaoshun looked at Xiao Heng's right foot.
"Brother-in-law, what brother-in-law! Hurry and just light the firecrackers outside!" Gu Yan pushed Gu Xiaoshun out of the main room.
Gu Xiaoshun: "But I just saw..."
"Alright, alright, you saw it, I know. Don't delay my business. Jing Kong! Xiaoshun's here!" Gu Yan decisively waved at Little Jing Kong.
Little Jing Kong grabbed a firecracker and pounced towards Gu Xiaoshun.
The two little mischief-makers played together again.
Gu Yan returned to the main room.
Isn’t it just brother-in-law's foot?
It's been healed for a long time, you idiot. You just realized it now?!
"Brother-in-law, let me help you!" Gu Yan eagerly snatched the broom and cleaned up the remaining debris on the ground, and then carried it out with a dustpan.
When he cheerfully returned to the main room, he didn't see his brother-in-law but found his sister sitting at the table with a flushed face.
He walked over blankly and asked Gu Jiao, "Sister, where's brother-in-law?"
Gu Jiao glanced at him with a hazy look and pointed towards the study.
Seeing Gu Jiao's odd reaction, he glanced at her and then at the bottle on the table. Suddenly, he realized something!
He shook the bottle, finding it empty. He raised it and tilted it down, not a drop of wine left!
No, no way——
Gu Yan: "You didn't drink it! Quickly say you didn't!"
Thump!
Gu Jiao's head hit the table.
Gu Yan: "..."
He intended to get his brother-in-law drunk and take him to her sister's room, but instead of his brother-in-law getting drunk, his sister passed out first.
It was all over!
Gu Yan slumped into a chair, sighed deeply, and banged his head on the table!
When Xiao Heng came out, he saw two small heads resting on the table together...
Grannie Fang was changing the bedding in the east room, so Xiao Heng had to take Gu Jiao back to the west room for now and then move her later.
Gu Yan, feeling low, said, "I'll go make some hangover soup."
The hangover soup was quickly brought over, but before any could be fed, Gu Jiao knocked it over, spilling it all over Xiao Heng.
Seeing his sister completely drunk, Gu Yan realized that there was hardly any chance of salvaging the situation.
He shook his head helplessly, resigned himself to fate, and went to the backyard to light some firecrackers.
Xiao Heng was soaked in hangover soup. The clothes were thick enough not to burn him, but they were uncomfortably damp, and the cold wind made it worse.
He had to change his clothes first.
Looking at Gu Jiao, he chuckled, "So drunk."
Gu Jiao was indeed utterly drunk, unaware that her long-awaited small treat was right in front of her.
Xiao Heng gently removed his belt with his slender, jade-like hand, taking off his winter clothes and undershirt.
Even the white inner clothes were damp, clinging to his firm muscles.
He removed his clothes, revealing his fair smooth skin, delicate collarbones, broad shoulders, a solid chest, and a waistline devoid of excess fat, displaying a smooth and powerful masculine physique.
At that moment, Gu Jiao suddenly woke up.
She groggily opened her eyes.
Seeing someone's well-defined muscles and tempting body, she couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.
Woah.
