Chapter 35 Wine and Flowers

"By the way, and tonight, Shang Yixuan's nephew is the host and said he wants to buy us a drink." Zhan Fengyue stretched out her finger and wrote "Chen" and "Chen" stroke by stroke on the glass. Record", "He is much more interesting than his uncle."

"It's just these two words. My name is Chen Lu. Please take care of me."

He dipped his chopsticks into the wine and wrote his name neatly on the dinner table.

This self-introduction was quite ingenious. Before the wine was dry, everyone rushed to Chen Lu to watch it.

Only Li Yu refused to show off, and sat in his seat drinking the whole time, while Chen Lu was surrounded by his colleagues and smiled at him calmly.

Li Yu's thoughts were all on Ninagawa, since he entered the door and took his seat, Ninagawa hadn't said a word to him, she couldn't tell that she was particularly angry or cried, but she just refused to pay attention to him, and didn't even make eye contact.

Li Yu's resentment was about to solidify, Chen Lu didn't know how to come over to strike up a conversation, he raised his glass, with an unmistakable smile on his face: "I heard that when Brother Yu was my age, he had already picked up several You have a lot of IP. You have rich experience, so please teach us juniors more."

That's right, the original works of the three big IPs were all fucking copied, and they almost didn't kill me.

"I'm an actor, you're a director, and they're not in the same industry, so I can't say that I can teach you or not." Since Chen Lu spoke first, Li Yu didn't refute his reason for losing face. He repeated in his heart that this was all for Shang Yixuan Favor, endured nausea and clinked a glass with him, "From today on, you and I are friends."

After Chen Lu finished drinking, he stopped a passing waiter and asked for the tray in her hand: "If it's really a friend, Brother Yu, let's play a game."

Li Yu watched him collect more than a dozen empty cups and put them on the plate one by one, and he had a bad feeling: "What game?"

"The drunken version of 'Russian roulette'." In order to maintain a sense of mystery, Chen Lu stopped in the middle of the sentence, "This game was first invented by the Japanese, by the way, we Ninagawa are also Japanese, right? "

Ninagawa showed her first smile of the day: "Well, but I haven't heard this before."

"By the way, where are you from? Tokyo? Kyoto? Osaka?" Chen Lu thought for a while and said all the place names he knew in one breath.

"Neither of them." Ningagawa was very afraid that others would mention his background, so he went into a defensive state, covering his chest with one arm, "Small place, you don't know even if I tell you."

Chen Lu put on his gloves, picked a prawn from the dish, peeled it and said, "It's okay, let's talk about it."

After peeling the shrimp, he dipped a little of the soup around the plate and put it in the Ninagawa bowl.

Li Yu couldn't sit still when he saw this scene, Zhan Fengyue stomped on him under the table to calm him down.

Chen Lu began to peel the second shrimp, and asked persistently, "So where are you from?"

Ninagawa swallowed the first shrimp: "Terada."

"what?"

"Terada...Forget it, I'll just say you don't know." Ninagawa lowered her gaze, and in order to avoid the question, she stood up and poured wine for Chen Lu.

He just had long hair and was not used to it. When pouring wine, a strand of hair blocked his eyes, and he was so stimulated that he blinked non-stop. When the wine was poured, that eye was already red.

Chen Lu was obsessed with ghosts, and stretched out his hand where others could not see. After Ninagawa sat down, that hand slowly climbed up his back, combing the ends of his long hair.

"Brother Yu." Chen Lu didn't stop touching, and turned all the cups on the tray upside down, "Let's have a drink."

"The rules are very simple." Chen Lu took out the phoenix flowers from the studio and showed them to everyone one by one, "I will choose a cup to cover this flower. There are ten cups here. Each person opens one, and whoever finds the flower will fill the glass that was opened before and drink it all in one go."

After Chen Lu finished his introduction, he asked, "Is brother Yu good at drinking?"

Such a question is undoubtedly a kind of provocation, why is Li Yu willing to be a coward, and put his chopsticks on the plate heavily: "Come on."

Chen Lu was overjoyed, and was about to turn off the lights and place flowers when Li Yu stretched out his hand to stop him.

He pushed Zhan Fengyue's assistant out: "Xiaoqian is allergic to alcohol, so he can't play this game, let him arrange the flowers."

Xiaoqian was still immersed in eating just now, when he suddenly heard his name, he asked in surprise, "Allergic to alcohol? Me?"

Zhan Fengyue stepped on him under the table: "If you tell me to do it, do it right away, hurry up, what are you doing?"

Xiaoqian finally understood the meaning, and took the phoenix flower from Chen Lu graciously: "Okay, I'll do it! Please close your eyes, I'll turn off the light, and choose a cup at random."

Li Yu gave him a look of "if you dare to be unemployed, just wait for unemployment".

Xiaoqian turned off the lights, and everyone closed their eyes. He decided that he didn't want to lose his job. Recalling Li Yu's knife-like eyes just now, he thought hard about how to let Li Yu know which cup the money was spent in.

It is now 11:50 in the middle of the night, and there are still 10 minutes before the hour. Xiaoqian looks at the time and makes a plan. He plans to put the phoenix flower in the cup at twelve o'clock, and then arrange all the cups into one Round shape, after turning on the light, he used the time on the clock to hint to Li Yu, Li Yu is not stupid, so he should be able to understand.

Immediately doing what he said, Xiaoqian leaned out half of his body and began to grope around the dinner table.

Hearing the rustling noise, Chen Lu thought that the lights would not be turned on for a while, so he boldly dragged the chair to Ninagawa's side, and stood next to him, moved the hand behind his chest, skillfully Unbutton the first shirt button.

"What are you doing?!" Ninagawa grabbed that hand, her whole body tensed.

Chen Lu breathed alcohol into Ninagawa's ear: "I have a crush on you."

Ninagawa pulled that hand out of his clothes and threw it back: "Not here."

Chen Lu heard the sound of the rim of the glass colliding with the tray, and thought that time was running out, so he unbuttoned another button: "Two shrimps, two buttons, it's fair, come here tonight and sleep with me."

sleep?I sleep in your grandma's sleep.Ningagawa had turned Chen Lu around thousands of times in his imagination. He was resentful and sad at the same time. After all, there were a few moments when he really liked Chen Lu, but he never expected to be such a person again.

Li Yu and Zhan Fengyue dishonestly acted as players with open eyes. After seeing Chen Lu flirting with Nina Chuan in the dark, Zhan Fengyue wrote three words on Li Yu's palm: "What to do".

Li Yu didn't respond until the light came on, and kept turning the ring on his middle finger.

According to his own plan, Xiaoqian exaggeratedly looked back at his watch and said "Ahhh".

Zhan Fengyue: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's twelve o'clock." Xiaoqian pointed to the minute hand, "Boss, can I go back first, there is still work to do."

Hearing that he deliberately emphasized the time, and seeing the way the cups were placed, Li Yu understood, Zhan Fengyue also understood, and after getting her nod in agreement, Xiaoqian rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and quickly withdrew from this place of right and wrong.

At this time, Ninagawa finally took a look at Li Yu, and then stretched out her hand to the tray: "Then I'll go first."

"Don't." Chen Lu blocked Ninagawa, "You just entered the industry and don't know the rules. In this kind of thing, the most experienced come first. Brother Yu, please."

Li Yu randomly chose a cup and opened it: "One."

He had long arms, and he didn't move his body when he touched the glass. After opening it, he flipped it aside, and directly lifted the wine glass out of the tray.

There are no phoenix flowers in it.

Chen Lu ignored his obvious hostility: "Next is Sister Yue."

Zhan Fengyue licked the tiger teeth in her mouth, and opened another one: "Two."

Chen Lu: "Three."

He flipped open the cup, carried the tray, and brought the remaining seven to Ninagawa's eyes: "Okay, now it's your turn."

Ninagawa stretched out her fingers, touched one of them, and pinched the bottom of the cup: "Four."

Still no phoenix.

"Everyone is lucky." Chen Lu put the tray back on the glass table, and gently turned the table with two fingers. "Brother Yu, it's your turn again."

The tray was passed in front of him, Li Yu saw that the time was almost up, and was about to turn over the cup with flowers and drink the wine himself, but when he looked down, he panicked——

When Chen Lu brought the tray just now, he messed up the order of the cups, and the remaining six cups were inseparably crowded in the center of the tray, and it was impossible to tell which one was placed in the direction of the hour just now.

The careful arrangement fell short, and the next thing to do was to fight for luck. Li Yu thought he had never lost to anyone, so he picked one: "Five."

Zhan Fengyue also found out, so she had to play by ear: "Six."

are all empty.

The tray was passed to Chen Lu again. With a smile on his face, Chen Lu hung his hand over the cups, twirled around in a mysterious way, and picked one to open.

He laughed, and showed the bottom of the cup to Li Yu and Zhan Fengyue: "Not yet."

There was an unopened bottle of Wuliangye in the corner of the dining table. Ningagawa estimated the size of the cups. The seven cups were one-third of the bottle. The alcohol content was high. He hesitated. up.

Ninagawa nervously opened the cup——

A bright red color appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Yo, Ninagawa, you can do it!" Chen Lu couldn't hide his joy, he opened the bottle of Wuliangye and poured it into the cup, "Come on, come on, I'm willing to bet and lose, it's all full."

After the wine bottle was opened, a strong aroma of wine wafted out, wrapping around everyone's nose like a poisonous snake.

Ninagawa whispered the number: "Seven..."

"Yes, there are seven glasses of wine in total." Chen Lu was overjoyed, and his tone rose frivolously.

Pushing the tray in front of Ninagawa: "Drink it all, there is not a single drop left."

Ninagawa knew in her heart that no one would get off the stage without drinking this wine, so she had no choice but to pick up a glass and secretly held her breath before drinking it.

Before the wine touched his lips, Li Yu suddenly said, "I'll drink it for him."

"Hey, brother Yu, how can this be replaced? You are willing to bet and admit defeat, aren't you?" Chen Lu refused without thinking, his attention is now on Ninagawa, and Ninagawa is holding the glass and refuses to drink , he put his fingers against the cup and pushed the cup up little by little.

"Drink quickly."

The wine glass tilted over, and Ninagawa was forced to take a big gulp of Wuliangye.

For those who don't know how to drink, baijiu tastes no different from alcohol. Ninagawa only needs to take a sip. Wuliangye flows into his stomach from his throat, causing a strong burning sensation. He didn't expect it to be so painful. Out of physiological instinct, he spit out all the white wine he hadn't swallowed, pushed Chen Lu away, and flung himself to the table to breathe.

Chen Lu's expression changed on the spot: "What do you mean?"

Ninagawa kept coughing and couldn't answer at all. Chen Lu felt that he was being treated poorly, so he stretched out his hand with a cloudy face, and brought the second cup to him: "Come again."

After all, Li Yu couldn't hold back and stood up: "I'll drink."

Li Yu was tall, and when he stood up, he instantly cast a large shadow in front of Chen Lu.

Chen Lu didn't expect him to do this, the two of them stared at each other, and as time passed, a bitter embarrassment filled the air.

Seeing this, Li Yu took a step back. He pulled the tray over and filled ten cups: "Well, I'll make it up. Do you think it's okay?"

The shadow receded slowly, and Li Yu sat back on his seat. Chen Lu's back felt cold, and he thought that it would not be a problem to fight again. If he could drink Li Yu down, it would be quite relieved, and he quickly laughed again , nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, why not."

After Li Yu finished pouring the wine, he slammed Wuliangye in front of everyone, "I'm all optimistic."

The busybody started counting, Zhan Fengyue turned her eyes away and couldn't bear to look at it, she was too familiar with the taste of this wine, it was as strong as a ball of fire when she first drank it, after a few more sips, her tongue and throat would be scalded and numb, drunk After suffering, all the viscera and six internal organs will become bitter.

"Nine!"

Li Yu picked up the last cup, and those with eyesight rushed forward, taking this opportunity to make a booing toast, the atmosphere of the scene was very hot, like a blaze of cooking oil.

After Li Yu and everyone met, Yuan Yao respected Jing Ninagawa: "I did it."

He finished drinking with his head up, and put the cup on the table.

Chen Lu took the lead in applauding: "Good! Refreshing!"

Ninagawa didn't meet Li Yu's eyes from the beginning to the end, he was very disappointed, he smiled and humbled himself amidst the applause, but his eyes were extremely indifferent.

A farce ended without any risk, Zhan Fengyue secretly tugged on Li Yu's sleeve: "Hey, are you okay?"

Li Yu ignored her, his brain shut down for a few seconds, and immediately after restarting, he pointed at Chen Lu: "You, come out with me."
