Chapter 236 Drunk
Li Youquan and Bai Ling looked at each other, with a fiery light flashing in their eyes, as if they wanted to melt each other in this sweet love.
However, at this critical moment, bursts of children's playful noises suddenly came from outside the house, breaking the ambiguous and tense atmosphere.
Bai Ling came back to her senses instantly. She quickly reached out and pushed Li Youquan away, with a shy and somewhat awkward smile on her face.
"You go out, I am alone enough."
Bai Ling said softly, she didn't want Li Youquan to stay and cook with her. The brief contact just now was enough to make her heart beat fast.
Li Youquan looked at Bai Ling's shy appearance and felt even more proud. He did not leave, but continued to stay with Bai Ling and help her prepare meals.
The two exchanged a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was warm and sweet.
Soon, they had almost finished preparing the meal.
At this time, Li Xiaoxuan also arrived. She washed her hands and prepared to come in to help.
"You are a guest, how can I let you do it? Go sit outside and wait."
Li Youquan saw Li Xiaoxuan coming in and hurriedly said.
However, he did not notice that Li Xiaoxuan's expression became a little stiff when he heard the word "guest".
She felt a sense of loss in her heart. She thought that her relationship with Li Youquan had become closer, but now it seemed that she was still just a guest in his eyes.
Looking at Li Youquan and Bai Ling busy in the kitchen, Li Xiaoxuan felt even more lost.
She didn't know how to break this situation, nor did she know how to make Li Youquan notice her existence.
At this moment, her mind was full of thoughts, but she didn't notice that Li Youquan and Bai Ling had already started serving the dishes to the table one by one.
"What are you thinking about? I called you several times but you didn't come back to your senses. Hurry up and sit down to eat. Aren't you obsessed with your sister Bai Ling's cooking skills?"
Li Youquan walked to Li Xiaoxuan and pushed her gently.
Li Xiaoxuan finally came back to her senses and tried to hide the emotions in her eyes somewhat unnaturally.
Li Youquan and Bai Ling both noticed that something was wrong with her, but neither of them said anything.
So the three of them sat around the dining table and began to enjoy this sumptuous dinner.
Although the atmosphere was somewhat subtle, no one mentioned the incident that had just occurred.
"Wow, Sister Bai Ling, your cooking skills are truly amazing!"
Li Xiaoxuan couldn't help but reveal her inner joy as she excitedly savored the delicacies on the table.
When she took the first bite, the magic of the food immediately lit up her eyes, as if she was deeply attracted by the deliciousness contained in it.
She raised her thumbs up without hesitation and gave Bai Ling an admiring look. The light in her eyes was so bright that people couldn't help but feel pity for her.
Although there was still a trace of bitterness in her heart, the magic of food seemed to temporarily dispel the haze in her heart.
Seeing Li Xiaoxuan eating with such relish, Li Youquan and Bai Ling couldn't help but smile warmly.
The two smiled at each other and began to savor the delicious food on the table.
At this moment, Li Xiaoxuan seemed to suddenly remember something. She walked to the bag she had just brought, took out a bottle of wine quietly, and placed it carefully on the table.
"Brother Youquan, this is the good wine I brought from my grandfather. Would you like to try it together today?"
Li Xiaoxuan looked at Li Youquan with anticipation, her eyes flashing with curiosity and desire.
However, Li Youquan broke her expectations without hesitation.
"What kind of wine is a kid supposed to drink? This won't do."
He was worried that if Li Xiaoxuan got drunk at his place, her family would misunderstand something and then come to settle the score with him, which would be bad.
But Li Xiaoxuan didn't seem to give up. She gestured as she spoke.
"But good food should be paired with good wine. Try it, just a little bit."
There was a hint of coquettishness and anticipation in her tone.
Seeing this, Li Youquan felt even more headache.
Before he could say anything, he saw Li Xiaoxuan quickly run to the kitchen and fetch three cups and started pouring wine into each cup.
Seeing Li Xiaoxuan being so reckless, Li Youquan quickly snatched the bottle of wine.
He first poured a small cup of wine for himself and Bai Ling, and then gently poured a little into the cup in front of Li Xiaoxuan.
"How is this enough?"
Li Xiaoxuan looked at the tiny amount of alcohol in the glass and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.
"Don't you want to try it? This is enough."
Li Youquan insisted on his decision and refused to give in.
Although Li Xiaoxuan was somewhat unwilling, she could only accept it reluctantly when she saw Li Youquan's firm attitude.
After the meal, Li Xiaoxuan's cheeks gradually turned red, and she seemed a little drunk.
Before she could say anything, she fell asleep on the table.
"Oh, how come you got me drunk?"
Bai Ling looked at Li Xiaoxuan's drunken state, patted her head helplessly, and then looked at Li Youquan who was sitting next to her.
"I didn't know she could drink so little."
Li Youquan also said somewhat helplessly.
He recalled the little bit of liquor he had just poured out, and suddenly felt speechless.
However, what is more important now is how to make Li Xiaoxuan spend this drunken time comfortably.
Li Youquan rubbed his temple and then pointed to the sofa next to him.
"Let's take her over there and let her rest for a while."
So, Bai Ling and Li Youquan went forward together and carefully helped Li Xiaoxuan lie down on the sofa.
Seeing that she was completely drunk, the two of them felt even more helpless.
Hopefully she can recover during this short break and avoid the embarrassment and discomfort when she wakes up tomorrow.
Li Youquan and Bai Ling turned around together and began to clear the dishes on the table.
The two of them cooperated tacitly, and neither of them broke this rare tranquility and harmony.
The kitchen was filled with a faint aroma of food, which made people feel happy.
However, this peaceful atmosphere did not seem to last long.
Perhaps it was because the temperature in the room was gradually rising, and because both of them had drunk some wine before, they both felt a little hot at the moment.
Li Youquan was still able to remain calm, but Bai Ling's cheeks had already turned slightly red.
While cleaning up the dishes, Li Youquan inadvertently noticed the changes in Bai Ling.
He frowned slightly, an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart.
He gently took a few steps closer to Bai Ling, wanting to see the blush on her face clearly.
As they got closer, the distance between them instantly shortened a lot.
They could clearly feel each other's breath, and their breathing became heavy involuntarily.
Li Youquan and Bai Ling just stood there quietly, their eyes met, and neither of them looked away first.
