A Night of Wine

"Look at you, you're being too suspicious of a gentleman's character," Lin Yi said.

"Drinking is just to lighten the mood. As for other things, I can do them without drinking."

"You're never serious."

Liang Ruoxu replied, putting a piece of rib on Lin Yi's plate before heading back to the kitchen. She returned with four bottles of beer, opening two and filling their glasses.

"Surviving a catastrophe brings good fortune. Here's to that."

"Cheers."

They clinked glasses, drank, and began eating.

The atmosphere wasn't particularly lively, and their conversation revolved around everyday topics.

Both of them tacitly avoided mentioning Ji Qingyan.

Though it was an issue both needed to face, neither wanted to bring it up at that moment.

An hour later, they had nearly finished eating.

The fridge, once filled with beer, now held only empty bottles.

After dinner, they curled up on the couch to watch TV.
