Chapter 223 So sweet and delicious
Outside the Good Luck Restaurant, the four of them said goodbye reluctantly.
"Master Xie, are you going back to the academy directly, or are you going home to take a rest first?"
Chen Xi asked if Xie Tianyi chose to go home, she could go with him and change back into her usual men's clothing.
Xie Tianyi lowered his head when he heard this, and a hint of loss was revealed in his voice: "Sister, don't you need my company anymore?"
Chen Xi took a few steps back swiftly, muttering to himself, it turns out that even fruit wine can make people tipsy, and he couldn't help but want to make a joke about it.
On ordinary days, Xie Tianyi would remain calm and composed even if he just had a drink.
However, Jiang Yufeng seemed to intentionally or unintentionally frequently urge Chen Xi to drink, which led to Chen Xi drinking with him. It was not known whether it was out of sincerity as a gentleman's friendship or some other intention. In short, most of the wine ended up in Xie Tianyi's stomach.
Seeing Chen Xi deliberately keeping her distance, Xie Tianyi's eyes revealed a hint of resentment. He neither said a word nor moved a step, just staring at her quietly.
"Okay, let's go home."
As soon as Chen Xi finished speaking, Xie Tianyi quietly moved closer to her and gently took her hand.
"I know my sister loves me the most!"
Xie Tianyi smiled childishly, but Chen Xi was too lazy to respond, knowing that if he responded, he would talk nonstop.
He usually looks aloof, but under the influence of alcohol, he became extremely talkative.
"Eat this."
Chen Xi took out a hangover pill from the medicine box he carried with him and handed it to Xie Tianyi.
However, as soon as the pill entered his mouth, Xie Tianyi frowned and immediately spat it out.
"Sister, this candy is too bitter. I don't want to eat it."
Xie Tianyi protested.
Chen Xi couldn't help but get angry when he heard this.
"It's not up to you whether to eat or not."
She said firmly.
Xie Tianyi pursed his lips, silently expressing his opposition.
Seeing this, Chen Xi decided to take action himself, not believing that he could not deal with a drunk "big kid".
Unexpectedly, Xie Tianyi's strength was so great that Chen Xi couldn't get the pill into his mouth at all.
"Eat it obediently, and I'll give you some candy."
Chen Xi showed a White Rabbit candy as bait.
Xie Tianyi shook his head and refused. He was not stupid to ask someone to make him suffer for just a piece of candy.
Seeing that Xie Tianyi was indifferent, Chen Xi simply put the candy in her mouth. This action made Xie Tianyi anxious. He wanted two candies, so how could he let his sister enjoy them alone?
In a hurry, Xie Tianyi snatched the hangover medicine and swallowed it, then turned his cunning eyes to Chen Xi, as if waiting for something.
Chen Xi spread out his hands with an expression that said "you're too late".
Xie Tianyi's gaze moved from Chen Xi's hand to her lips. In a flash, he suddenly moved closer to Chen Xi, leaned over slightly, and gently touched her lips, skillfully "grabbing" the White Rabbit candy.
The bitterness of the hangover medicine and the sweetness of the candy blended between the two people's lips and teeth, forming a strange and wonderful taste.
Having tasted the sweetness, Xie Tianyi stood up with satisfaction, squinting his eyes and looking at Chen Xi with a smile.
“So sweet and delicious.”
he exclaimed.
Chen Xi's eyes widened in disbelief.
What happened just now?
This guy actually "stole" her kiss when she was not paying attention?
Chen Xi, who was furious, looked around for "weapons", wishing he could teach him a lesson.
Xie Tianyi felt the sudden drop in temperature around him and vaguely realized that he might have gotten into trouble.
"Sister, I was wrong. I will never snatch your candy again."
Xie Tianyi stretched out his hand flatteringly and placed it in front of Chen Xi.
Chen Xi was both angry and amused.
? Can a beating solve the problem? But the other party is a drunkard, what is the appropriate punishment?
After some thought, Chen Xi asked Xie Tianyi to sit down and write a special version of the "New Three Obediences and Four Virtues".
This "new three obediences and four virtues" is unique: "Follow when going out, obey orders, and follow blindly when making mistakes; remember what is said, spend money generously, accompany well when shopping, and make people laugh when angry."
"Copy these a hundred times."
Chen Xi gave the order seriously.
Although Xie Tianyi seemed childish due to being drunk, his modern mindset made him not resist this punishment, but instead he found it quite interesting.
After the arrangements were completed, Chen Xi changed back into men's clothes and headed to the clinic.
Xie Tianyi, on the other hand, took great pains to copy the "New Three Obediences and Four Virtues" a hundred times. He was so exhausted that he fell asleep immediately.
When he woke up again, it was already dusk and he was completely sober.
Recalling the scene at noon...
Oops!
He, he actually made such an abrupt and rude move towards Chen Xi in a daze! Xie Tianyi's heart was like being hit by a heavy hammer, and he once again deeply experienced the bitter consequences of his drunken behavior.
During this period of time, he had a good understanding of Chen Xi's personality and bottom line. He estimated that the other party might let him go temporarily because of the embarrassing incident in the afternoon and not pursue the matter.
Fortunately, things did not get further out of control and cause a bigger disturbance!
However, thinking back to that moment, he knew very well that in this sudden storm, the one who suffered the most harm and embarrassment was undoubtedly Chen Xi.
Xie Tianyi walked slowly to the head of the bed and took out two manuscripts that he had recently worked on lately from the drawer. The covers were neat and the handwriting was clear, reflecting his countless days and nights of hard work.
His destination was the town's famous Mo Yue Bookstore, a holy place for scholars and writers to communicate and trade.
"Thank you, Master. You are finally here! Ever since I heard that you moved to this town, I have been specially assigned here by the head of the family. I have been looking forward to your new work."
The speaker was a young and promising new shopkeeper, Wang Wen, who had a scholarly air between his brows and seemed particularly enthusiastic about Xie Tianyi's arrival.
Xie Tianyi responded briefly: "This time, it's two books."
Wang Wen took the manuscript with both hands, carefully flipped through a few pages, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and then he handed over ten heavy silver notes worth one hundred taels, each of which carried recognition and respect for his work.
Xie Tianyi put away the banknotes carefully, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
However, in addition to delivering the manuscript, he also had another important mission on this trip today.
After leaving the bookstore, Xie Tianyi quickened his pace involuntarily and headed straight for the famous snack stand in the east of the city.
There was a dish of wontons there, with thin skin, tender fillings and delicious soup, which made Chen Xi praise it highly.
He specially bought two more copies, intending to use them as an apology gift, hoping to alleviate the embarrassment and anxiety caused by the accident at noon.
At this time, Chen Xi was still busy in the clinic. The door of the clinic was about to close and night fell quietly.
"Doctor Chen, there is a young man waiting outside."
Outside the door, the two maids, Mo Hua and Mo Qin, carefully reminded them to address him as "Doctor Chen" so as not to reveal Chen Xi's true identity - the mysterious doctor who practiced medicine among the people and was deeply loved by the people.
Chen Xi poked his head in gently, looking through the half-open door, and sure enough, he saw Xie Tianyi standing quietly outside the door. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, adding a bit of gentleness and determination to him.
