Chapter 267 Do You Like Me?
Lu Zheng opened the red wine, first stirred it up and poured it into the two people's glasses.
The movie started at this time.
“I’ll tear down the cake.”
Jiang Linyu took the initiative to help, and chatted with him while opening it:
"Mr. Lu, are you leaving in a week?"
"Well, there are still some things to deal with."
After unwrapping the cake, she began to put candles on.
"The road is always over there. Are you used to the food?"
“We hired a Chinese chef”
Yes, if you have money, why would you have any problem with eating habits?
"Borrow a lighter"
After taking it, she lit the candle.
"Can you turn off the lights?"
"Um"
Lu Zheng pressed it, and the lights in the room dimmed instantly, leaving only light from the large screen in front that was playing a movie.
Jiang Linyu picked up the cake, smiled and began to sing birthday song to him.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
The candlelight flickered, and Lu Zheng looked at her face, not wanting to blink.
"Happy birthday! Make a wish now."
Lu Zheng looked at her and said slowly: "What I want, I always get it by myself, without making a wish."
"Okay, Mr. Lu, blow out the candles then."
Lu Zheng blew out the candle gently, and Jiang Linyu also applauded.
"Happy birthday, may all your wishes come true"
The lights in the house came on again, and a smile appeared in Lu Zheng's eyes.
“I’ll cut the cake for you.”
"Thank you"
Jiang Linyu took the cake he handed over and tasted it. It tasted pretty good, worthy of being produced by a high-end restaurant.
"Mr. Lu, you eat too."
"Um"
Lu Zheng didn't seem to like sweet things very much. He took a symbolic bite and then put it down, then raised his glass to toast her.
"thank you"
Jiang Linyu immediately picked up his glass and clinked it with his.
"You're welcome. Happy birthday and all the best."
Lu Zheng shook the wine glass and then took a sip.
Jiang Linyu also took a sip. Unexpectedly, there was no pungent smell of alcohol, but instead an alluring fragrance.
“Is this wine expensive?”
"It's not bad, one bottle is only about 70 yuan," said Lu Zheng
Jiang Linyu was stunned. He was holding the cup with one hand, but now he was holding it with both hands.
"This, is it okay?"
If you take a sip, wouldn't you be drinking thousands of dollars?
In fact, she didn't like drinking, but because she felt that the wine was too fragrant and there was no taste of alcohol, she thought it was not strong, so she drank a few more sips while watching the movie.
By the time Lu Zheng realized it, she had already drunk two cups.
"How much alcohol can you drink?"
"It's a little bit bad actually, but I don't think this feeling has a degree," Jiang Linyu said
"This wine is not low, 30 degrees." Lu Zheng kindly reminded: "And this wine has a strong aftertaste."
When he heard that it was 30 degrees, Jiang Linyu's face changed instantly and he put down the cup.
"It's so high, I thought it was about the same as beer at most."
Lu Zheng finished the drink in his cup and put it down.
"It's okay, forget it if you can't drink it"
Jiang Linyu nodded and quickly drank two sips of water. He really didn't dare to drink any more.
But she didn't expect that while watching the movie, her eyes gradually became distracted from the screen and her head started to feel dizzy.
"Mr. Lu, happy birthday to you"
She even leaned her head on the sofa with one hand, and raised her glass to toast Lu Zheng with the other hand.
"Thank you"
Lu Zheng didn't expect that she couldn't drink so much. He didn't realize it at first, so he clinked glasses with her and continued watching the movie.
It was not until Jiang Linyu, who was always very cautious in front of him, started talking more and more frequently and illogically that Lu Zheng began to realize that something was wrong.
"Why does that man have a clone? Is he Sun Wukong?"
"I see, she must be a snake spirit. Calabash Brothers, go and save Grandpa!"
Lu Zheng looked at her and found that her eyes were a little unfocused and her cheeks were obviously flushed.
"drunk?"
"Me?" Jiang Linyu looked at him and pointed at himself.
Seeing that she was obviously drunk, Lu Zheng took the cup from her hand and put it away.
“I don’t want to drink anymore”
"Oh," she nodded dazedly and continued watching the movie
Although she was briefly normal, Lu Zheng had no mood to watch the movie anymore and only glanced at her from time to time.
Although Jiang Linyu supported his head with his hands and seemed to be watching a movie, his eyes were distracted and his head tilted towards the sofa from time to time.
Lu Zheng didn't say anything either, he just took a sip of the red wine in the glass occasionally, stroking the cold glass with his fingertips.
It was an ordinary day, but it was the happiest day he had had in a while.
All of Lu Zheng’s motivation and pleasure once came from the success of his career.
But until Jiang Linyu appeared, just meeting him or staying together like this made him feel at ease and happy.
"Still want cake?" he asked
"I want to eat"
Jiang Linyu nodded repeatedly, but because he was drunk, his hands did not move. He just watched the movie lazily, and his language system was completely out of his control.
"This male lead is so handsome"
Lu Zheng glanced at the tall, blond and blue-eyed male protagonist on the big screen, moved closer to her, picked up the cake on the table and handed it to her.
"You like this?"
Looking at Lu Zheng's face that suddenly approached him, Jiang Linyu, who was already in a daze, became even more dazed.
"You are handsome too, both are handsome"
Lu Zheng, who had a tense face, smiled instantly because of her words and brought the cake directly to her.
"Eat it"
"Oh"
She reached out to take it, but because her eyes were distracted, her hand accidentally poked the cake.
"How come this cake is still moving?"
Lu Zheng put the cake down, wiped her hands with a tissue, then scooped a spoonful of food with a spoon and handed it directly to her mouth.
"Eat it"
Jiang Linyu opened his mouth, and finally ate it by moving his head slightly forward. But because of this head-to-head movement, the distance between their faces became closer.
While eating, she held Lu Zheng's face with both hands.
“This face is more handsome.”
Lu Zheng did not move in response to her sudden action, but just stared at her face, his Adam's apple moving slightly.
"Well, do you like it?"
Jiang Linyu was completely drunk and nodded unconsciously.
Although he knew that she was drunk, Lu Zheng still felt an inexplicable stir in his heart because of her nod, and the emotions that had been suppressed for two months could no longer be suppressed.
"You're not hiding from me now?"
"Ok?"
Jiang Linyu was in a daze. He couldn't understand or hear clearly, so he simply stopped listening. He let go of his hands, leaned to the side, and pointed at the screen in front of him.
"See a movie"
“I don’t watch it anymore”
Lu Zheng turned off the projection screen, took her hand and pressed it against his face.
"Just look at me"
Their eyes met, one with a confused look, the other with a burning look.
"Xiaoyu, do you like me?"
Lu Zheng said this almost instinctively. He always called her by her full name before, but for some reason he called her Xiaoyu now.
It was as if both the brain and the mouth were out of my control.
Jiang Linyu's star-like eyes stared blankly at his face which was so close to him, but because he was drunk, he could only see his mouth moving and had no idea what he was saying.
Then, she felt her eyelids become extremely heavy, and her hands slowly left Lu Zheng's face and she leaned towards the sofa next to her.
