Chapter 200 – Wei Ruo is drunk

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jin Yi and smiled, while Wei Jin Yi was somewhat helpless.

Originally, it was already late in the day, and according to etiquette he shouldn’t have appeared in the courtyard of Wei Ruo, who was already thirteen years old.

“Second brother, don’t be pedantic about such things, what haven’t the two of us seen before.” Wei Ruo said with a smile.

Wei Jin Yi looked at the table of food and wine that Wei Ruo had already prepared, Wei Jin Yi’s expression was somewhat helpless, but his eyes were gentle.

“Second brother, stand there for a moment and don’t move.” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Jin also didn’t know Wei Ruo’s intentions, but still followed her instructions to stand in place.

Wei Ruo walked over and kicked a nearby tree.

The snow on the trees clattered down and smashed on Wei Jin Yi’s body.

Wei Ruo looked at him from the side and smiled.

Wei Jin Yi first froze for a moment, and after reacting, his eyes burned as he looked at Wei Ruo, who was covering her stomach and doubled over in laughter.

Both Xiao Bei and Xiu Mei froze for a moment, then laughed along.

Wei Jin also walked up to Wei Ruo and reached out to dust the fallen snow on Wei Ruo.

As the snow fell from the trees, a lot of it fell on herself, on her hair, and on the fur collar of her cloak.

“Have you quarreled with mother in the past few days?” Wei Jin also asked.

“How did Second Brother know? Did Well Tiger secretly tell you?” Wei Ruo asked.

The last time she and Yun quarreled when Jing Hu suddenly appeared, she guessed that Jing Hu might have done it on purpose.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Jin also didn’t hide anything and bluntly gave an affirmative answer.

“Second brother sit down, it just so happens that Meimei and I have prepared a lot of wine and food, I originally thought that it would be just the two of us on this Lunar New Year’s Eve, it just so happens that you guys have come back, and the four of you will spend it together to make it a bit more lively.” Wei Ruo was full of smiles as she took Wei Jin Yi’s hand and walked towards the dining table.

Wei Jin also looked at his hand that was being held by Wei Ruo and hesitated a bit, but in the end, he didn’t pull his hand back.

After being seated, Xiu Mei went to add two pairs of bowls and chopsticks while Wei Ruo poured wine into the wine glass in front of Wei Jin Yi.

Wei Jin also looked at the wine glass in front of him, “Ruo’er, I don’t drink.”

Wei Ruo spat out her tongue, “I thought I could muddle through this time and see what Second Brother looks like when he’s drunk again.”

Wei Jin also looked slightly stagnant, her cheeks slightly red.

He didn’t have any memories of his own drunkenness, but the thought of what he had done made his ears burn.

Wei Ruo said to Xiu Mei, “Meimei, go and bring over that winter melon tea you made last time, as well as some white tea I still have in my inventory, bring them all over.”

“Okay.” Xiumei got up and went back inside to get it.

Wei Ruo picked up the same brocade box that she just had, “The gift that second brother prepared for me is a bit heavy.”

“Well, you open it and take a look.” Wei Jin also said.

“Good.”

Wei Ruo opened the brocade box, and inside was a bravura, and under the moonlight and light, the thing had a golden color all over.

Gold color? It shouldn’t be ……

Wei Ruo took the brave out, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and finally determined that it was a brave made of pure gold.

“Second brother, don’t tell me that this brave is made of gold.” Wei Ruo had a look of surprise and disbelief.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Jin also gave an affirmative answer.

Meanwhile Xiao Bei on the side helped her own master explain, “Young master said that Pixi signifies attracting wealth and treasures, and Missy will definitely like it.”

Having said that, it’s a bit extravagant to create a bravado out of gold, isn’t it?

Wei Ruo weighed the brave in his hand and estimated that it had to weigh more than a catty.

A dozen taels of gold to create ah! This brave man attracts wealth Wei Ruo does not know, but it must be very attractive to thieves!

“Second brother, where did you get so much gold?” Wei Ruo couldn’t help but inquire.

“My birth mother left me some money.” Wei Jin also replied.

Wei Ruo once again scrutinized the exquisitely crafted brave inside her hand, then sighed, “It seems that second brother is the richest one in our family!”

Looking at Wei Ruo’s very precious Golden Pixie appearance, Wei Jin also looked gentle, “It’s good that you like it.”

While talking, Xiu Mei brought the winter melon tea and the white tea sent over from the Huzhou Prefecture last spring.

Both kinds of tea Wei Ruo asked Xiu Mei to brew for Wei Jin also, one sweet, one bitter and then sweet.

Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei, on the other hand, drank as usual.

At this time when most people are hiding inside the house with a heater, Wei Ruo four people are sitting in the courtyard, in the middle of the vast snow, with the bright moon above their heads, cooking wine, talking and laughing.

I don’t know whether I was too happy or too relaxed, Wei Ruo drank a little too much.

The palm-sized face was flushed, and the eyes were not as clear as usual.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jin Yi with a smile on her face, her demeanor naive in a delicate way, “Second brother, you’re so good looking, you’re the most beautiful beautiful man I’ve ever seen.”

Seeing this, everyone knew that Wei Ruo was drunk.

Xiu Mei said with some concern, “Miss is not a glutton for punishment, although she will drink some when she is happy, she has never gotten drunk, and today she somehow drank a little too much.”

Wei Jin also instructed Xiu Mei, “Help your young lady back to her room, give her some hot water to drink, and let her rest early.”

Xiu Mei nodded her head and was just about to go forward to help Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo dodged, “Meimei don’t help me, I’m not drunk, I don’t want to go to sleep yet, I’m going to keep drinking.”

Wei Ruo muttered with a disgruntled mouth.

She refused to go, and Xiu Mei didn’t dare to pull her away by force.

Wei Ruo walked to Wei Jin Yi’s front and pulled Wei Jin Yi’s sleeve and pouted, “Second brother, I’m not going back, you drink with me for a while longer.”

Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo, unable to say anything to refuse.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Jin also agreed.

And then he accompanied Wei Ruo to sit down.

Wei Ruo muttered as she poured herself some wine, “Second brother, it’s fortunate that you came back today, if it was just me and Meimei, I’d be very lonely, in fact, I shouldn’t be afraid of being alone, I should’ve been prepared for this ……”

“But …… but I’m still a little sad when it’s just me and Meimei, Nanny, Uncle Xu, Brother Xiaoyong, they’re not by my side, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to stay with them and spend the holidays together again like before.”

“I’m trying very hard to plan everything out right now, and I feel like if I just do a good enough job, I’ll be able to make it through the day. But sometimes I’m not so sure if I can do well enough or not, and what I want to do may not go as well as I want it to, because God won’t let me do what I want that easily ……”

People are prone to show their vulnerable side when they are drunk, usually Wei Ruo behaves confidently and calmly, no matter if she encounters a problem or gets into an argument with others, she has never shown her vulnerable side.

Now that she had drunk a bit more, in front of Wei Jin Yi, Wei Ruo spilled out those uncertainties, worries and loneliness in her heart.

Wei Ru finished and tried to stand up again, but her feet were not steady and she fell towards Wei Jin Yi.

Wei Jin also reached out to help Wei Ruo, and as a result, Wei Ruo directly jumped into his arms, and their bodies collided solidly.
