Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 1032 Northern Frontier 29

The lights in the new house were finally blown out.

The guests in the courtyard were still having a great time.

"Liu Yun is absent tonight, so as his best brother, you have to drink his share too."

Ye Zi opened the wine jar and immediately poured Jing Lei a full cup.

Jing Lei didn't say anything, and he drank whatever Ye Zi poured for him without refusing.

I don't know when my alcohol tolerance became so high.

Chu Lingshan, who was sitting to the side, seemed to notice something was wrong: "If you keep drinking like this, you'll get drunk very quickly."

"It's alright. Tonight is Liuyun's wedding night. As the eldest brother, it would be wrong of me not to get drunk." Jing Lei smiled, picked up his cup again, and drank the full cup of wine in one gulp.

Chu Lingshan pursed her lips, watching him finish his drink, before saying calmly, "Aren't you really afraid of speaking the truth when drunk and saying things you shouldn't?"

Jing Lei paused slightly, his fingers tightening slightly as he held the cup.

"Drink less." Chu Lingshan took the cup from his hand and put it aside.

Ye Zi, who was sitting not far away, was unhappy.

"We've come all this way, and it's not easy for us to get together like this, so how can we not drink? Nobody is allowed to drink less!"

As he spoke, he poured Jing Lei another cup.

The other brothers also grabbed their cups and joined in the drinking.

Jing Lei looked at the glass in his hand; the wine inside was sloshing around.

"Yes, it's not easy for us to get together, how can we not drink?" he said with a slight smile.

The fleeting gloom in his eyes did not escape Chu Lingshan's notice.

"Alright then, you guys drink well, and you too... drink well. I don't like drinking, so I'll take you home later."

"You?" Ye Zi seemed to have discovered a new continent, her gaze shifting back and forth between Jing Lei and Chu Lingshan.

"No way? Jing Lei, you and Major General Chu... the two of you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, we... are good brothers." Chu Lingshan swung her fist and punched Jing Lei on the shoulder.

Jing Lei frowned, clearly indicating that the power of this punch was undeniable.

Chu Lingshan is a general.

Don't let her name fool you; she's Huo Qing's first disciple, and her fighting prowess is absolutely top-notch.

If a punch is delivered with real force, an ordinary person's shoulder would likely be ruined.

Well, judging from this, it doesn't seem like there would be any romantic feelings involved; it's just not quite there yet.

"Drink up, get drunk, and I'll carry you back home."

Because of Chu Lingshan's words, Jing Lei opened up tonight, and before long, he was indeed quite drunk.

But he didn't speak, as if an extremely strong will told him that he must not speak. Even after Chu Lingshan helped him back to the room and threw him on the bed, he still didn't say a word.

Chu Lingshan took off his shoes, covered him with a blanket, and turned to leave.

But when she was almost at the door, she couldn't help but stop, turn around, and glance at him.

Jing Lei wasn't asleep; he kept his eyes open, staring at an unknown corner above him.

Looking from afar, one could almost see a wisp of mist, which flashed across his eyes.

Chu Lingshan felt a sudden pang in her heart.

In the end, he ignored it, opened the door, and walked out.

Looking up, I saw the bright moon shining and the stars as beautiful as a dream.

This is your own choice.

Now that you've made the choice, just keep your head down and keep going.

Perhaps, this is the best ending.

Five years have passed; this abnormal relationship involving three people should end.

May you live the rest of your life in peace and happiness because of your kindness.
