178 Whoever Gets Drunk Has To Pay
This kiss lasted for quite some time.
If it weren't for Lu Ye's wandering hands, which managed to reach under Gu Yan's sweater and touch her smooth skin, who knew how long they would keep their lips locked?
The sudden coldness and magical sensation brought about by his touch made her shudder.
It was only at this time that Lu Ye realized what he had done.
To be precise, what he touched finally dawned on him.
Although he might be excited, he was also a bit nervous...
Most importantly, he was worried Gu Yan would get angry.
"Yanyan…" Lu Ye withdrew his hand with reluctance.
"It's a bit cold." Gu Yan breathed in some cold air for herself in an attempt to calm down.
She tried to ignore her numb lips and burning face. Thereafter, she tidied her clothes and asked, "Let's go eat, I'm hungry."
"Mhm." Lu Ye tightly held Gu Yan's hand as they walked towards the gate of the park.
The snow kept falling, but its descent was gentle as it danced mid-air along the process.
This time, Lu Ye brought over Gu Yan to eat mutton hot pot.
As snowflakes fluttered outside, they ate the steaming hotpot inside the establishment.
There was some sort of unique feeling as they savored the dishes.
"This restaurant has been here for 20 years. It's very authentic." Lu Ye chose a seat next to the window on the second floor.
The place was quiet and pristine. They could simply enjoy the outside view.
He felt overjoyed. Although he didn't expect it would snow when he booked the seat, the visual effects were great regardless.
Gu Yan raised a thumb. "I just found out you are good at eating."
"The first time I came here was with Changle. That time…" Lu Ye paused in embarrassment and admitted he had a fight with Bai Changle before.
Both of them ended up in the hospital. After the entire debacle, they became friends.
Their first meal together happened here.
"We drank a lot. At the time, we agreed that whoever got drunk first had to pay. He then laughed, doubting how one would pay if he was drunk."
Perhaps out of interest for her brother, Gu Yan asked, "Then, who lost?"
"Of course, it's him." Lu Ye straightened his chest. "Yan, your man has great alcohol tolerance."
"He was the one who got drunk but you paid for it?"
"Of course not." Lu Ye confessed, "He lost, so I naturally took the money from his wallet and paid the bill."
Gu Yan laughed. "I finally believe you guys are close now."
Lu Ye then wondered why he mentioned another guy. Hence, he changed the subject, "After we finish eating, let's go to the cinemas. There is a new movie. It is said to be pretty good."
"Sure."
Lu Ye looked at the menu and attentively asked whether there was anything Gu Yan couldn't eat.
Gu Yan shook her head and said anything would be fine.
Lu Ye's heart ached once again.
His cousins were extremely picky, but his wife was satisfied with whatever food being offered.
To him, it was because she went through too much hardship.
He needed to treat her extra special to compensate for the sufferings she had undergone.
He meticulously ordered a few dishes and saw her watching the snow outside.
"Yan, do you really like snow? You northerners should be able to see this quite frequently, right?" Lu Ye asked casually.
His eyes traced every inch of her face, particularly her beautiful chin.
Gu Yan smiled and nodded. "Yes, I really like snowy days. It's cold, but it emits a clean sensation. When there is enough snow and you step on it, there is also a crunching sound."
Lu Ye was amused. "When I arrived at the Northern Star Region for the first time, I was very excited for some reason. I played snowball fights with my friends. Yet, I ended up throwing a snowball into Commander Bai's face."
Gu Yan: …
