Chapter 174: Drunken Wine

  ♂?,,

  The old master laughed, "Hehe, Little Yu, your eyes are really good, you can see at a glance that this is a Mandarin duck jade pendant. As for its specific origin, it's too long ago, I'm not clear either, it should be an heirloom from my ancestors."

  "Engagement... token of engagement?" Xiaoyu was even more confused.

  "Goodness gracious, this is all from a long time ago. Anyway, I've already given it to you, Little Yu, so take good care of it!" Old Master Wang's eyes gleamed with a profound meaning as he gazed at Little Yu.

  "Grandpa! Xiao Yu! Dinner is ready!" A silvery voice rang out, and Wang Siyu's lovely face appeared at the door of the study. She had somehow tied an apron around her waist, her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and a strand of hair fell loose, looking very cute and lovable.

  Wang Siyu's grandmother is from Suzhou and cooks excellent Suzhou dishes.

  Braised pork in soy sauce, crab roe tofu, fermented bean curd braised pork, lion's head, squirrel mandarin fish - these authentic Suzhou dishes have a light flavor, sweet but not greasy, making Xiao Yu praise them nonstop. Wang Nainai is delighted, constantly putting food into Xiao Yu's bowl.

  "Grandma, you're being unfair! You always give Yu the best food!" Wang Siyu couldn't help but complain, pouting her mouth.

  "Niang niang, isn't it right for Grandma to serve the guest, Xiao Yu? What a sour face this kid has! Come, Grandma will give you a braised pork ball!"

  Seeing the big lion's head in the bowl, Wang Siyu finally smiled happily.

  "Xiao Yu, the college entrance exam is approaching, which university and major are you preparing to take? After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Grandpa Wang started asking questions."

  "Oh, I'm going to apply for the Biological Science and Technology program at Zhongtian University!" Little Yu replied with his head down, eating the dish that Grandma Wang had served him.

  "What? Zhongtian University? Good kid! You have a future!" Old Master Wang's eyes lit up, although he was old, but he also knew the reputation of Zhongtian University, this is one of the top universities in the country!

  "Xiao Yu, I didn't know your grades were so good? You're actually brave enough to apply for Zhongtian University. I was originally planning on dragging you along to take the Shanghai Theater Academy exams together!" Wang Siyu's eyes showed a hint of envy.

  "Shanghai Theater Academy? Xiao Yu, are you really planning to take the path of acting in the future?" Little Yu was taken aback, putting down the chopsticks in his hand. At this moment, he was no longer the same Little Yu who had just come out of the small forest, and he had also gained a simple understanding of the society he lived in.

  Being an actor is not easy, not only do you have to put in more effort than others, but also face all kinds of disturbances. There are many news online about the entertainment industry, with true and false information mixed together, black and white unclear, it can be said that it's a muddy water that can't be seen through. Seeing Wang Siyu, such a simple girl, is about to become one of them, even Xiao Yu couldn't help but worry for her.

  However, this is her own choice, and she has no right to interfere, can only secretly wish her all the best, safe and sound.

  Wang Siyu nodded heavily, excitedly saying, "Yeah! I've already passed the re-exam, next week is the third exam, if I pass that, there shouldn't be any problems. The cultural admission scores for last year's Shang Theatre weren't high, based on my grades, it's still very promising!"

  Grandpa Wang shook his head repeatedly, "Alas, this child insisted on applying for the film and television major, refusing to listen to us, and now all our efforts are in vain."

  Wang Siyu pouted and said, "Grandpa, I really don't like Peking Opera. Besides, there are so many people in Dad's unit who sing Peking Opera, one more or one less doesn't make a difference, Grandma, right?"

  Grandma Wang considered Wang Siyu as her own flesh and blood, seeing her seeking help from herself, immediately said, "Child, don't say anymore, what major Siyu wants to take is her business, now what era are we in, children's affairs should be handled by themselves!"

  Grandpa Wang was a bit henpecked, and after hearing Grandma Wang say that, he didn't dare speak anymore.

  Wang Siyu was delighted and hugged her grandmother's neck, saying repeatedly, "Grandma still understands me the most!"

  The lunch lasted for an hour and a half, during which Grandpa Wang asked about Xiaoyu's life experience. Xiaoyu simply recounted his experiences from being affected by the flood in his hometown to drifting to Shanghai until now.

  When it comes to the hardships of starting a business in the wholesale market, both Grandma Wang and Wang Siyu couldn't help but shed tears, and Grandpa Wang's eyes also became moist. When it came to opening a noodle shop on Tianlin Road and gaining a foothold, winning first prize in the food competition, everyone's face broke into a smile.

  Talking about being secretly calculated, the house rental company unilaterally tore up the contract and was forced to move out. Everyone is worried about Xiaoyu again, and Wang Siyu is even more resentful.

  In the end, Xiao Yu successfully took over the new store from Old Yang, and Grandpa Wang was so happy that he burst out laughing. Grandma Wang and Wang Siyu were also delighted for Xiao Yu from the bottom of their hearts.

  "Xiao Yu! Come! Grandpa will toast you a cup! This child, grandpa can see it, will definitely have a bright future!" Old Master Wang picked up the wine bottle in his hand and poured Xiao Yu a cup.

  Xiao Yu couldn't handle his liquor, but since Old Master Wang personally toasted him, he had no choice but to drink and ended up downing it in one gulp.

  They were drinking Shaoxing huadiao wine, which had a relatively low alcohol content but was quite potent. Xiaoyu had already drunk a cup with his meal earlier and now, after downing another cup, he suddenly felt the effects of the alcohol, his face turning bright red as if blood was about to drip out.

  "Grandpa, Xiao Yu can't hold his liquor, and you're still forcing him to drink. Look, he's already drunk!" Wang Siyu was startled by Xiao Yu's pale face and couldn't help but scold Grandpa Wang.

  The old master also felt a bit embarrassed. Little Yu was good in every way, but his capacity for liquor seemed to be somewhat lacking. He asked with concern, "Little Yu, are you okay?"

  "No... Grandpa Wang, I'm... fine..." As soon as Xiaoyu finished speaking, he felt the sky spinning and the ground turning upside down. With a thud, his head hit the table and he lost consciousness.

  After an unknown period of time, Xiaoyu woke up from his deep sleep.

  Although my head is still a bit dizzy, it's much better now.

  Opening her eyes, she took a look around and found herself lying on a bed, with no memory of how she got there. Her slippers had been removed from her feet, and a thin blanket covered her body, emitting a faint, sweet fragrance that wafted up to her nostrils.

  "Where am I?" Xiao Yu sat up from the bed and looked around.

  The room is not very big, with many movie posters and star photos on the walls. Opposite is a beautiful pink wardrobe, next to which is a large desk, on which there is a laptop computer and several cartoon toys. Judging from the color scheme of the room, this is obviously a girl's room.

  Xiao Yu shook his head and felt a bit more awake.

  Looking back on the situation, Xiao Yu was certain that this room was Wang Siyu's bedroom. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of embarrassment in his heart, his alcohol tolerance was really too poor, and he had actually passed out at the wine table again.

  He got out of bed, put on his slippers and walked out of the bedroom.

  Wang Siyu happened to come out of the kitchen, carefully holding a small bowl of soup in her hand.

  "Haha, Xiao Yu, I didn't expect your drinking capacity to be so poor. If you don't get up, I was going to go call someone. Come drink a bowl of hangover soup specially simmered by my grandmother!"

  Xiao Yu's face turned red, and she didn't dare say more. She took the sobering soup from Wang Siyu's hand and drank it in a few mouthfuls. She felt warmth in her stomach and was much more comfortable.

  "Light rain, what time is it now?" Xiaoyu asked casually after finishing his soup.

  "It's six o'clock in the afternoon, I can really sleep!" Wang Siyu wrinkled her cute little nose.

  "Is it already six o'clock?" Xiaoyu was startled in his heart, how did he lie on the bed of someone else's girl for so long? His own feeling was just a short while.

  I looked around and didn't see Grandpa Wang or Grandma Wang anywhere.

  "Grandpa and grandma went out for a walk, leaving me to stay at home and take care." As she said this, Wang Siyu's face inexplicably turned red. When helping Xiao Yu onto the bed, a small red box fell out of his pocket. She knew what was inside that little red box because she had one just like it too.

  The Mandarin ducks jade pendant was originally a pair, the one Wang Siyu wore on her body was the other half. She didn't know why Grandfather gave this half of the jade pendant to Xiao Yu, but she could guess one or two things.

  "It's raining, what a nuisance! It's getting late, I should head back. There are still many things to do at the store!" Now only Xiaoyu and Wang Siyu were left in the room, Xiaoyu felt a bit awkward and bid farewell.

  "Okay, I'll send it!"

  The two of them went downstairs and walked on the path in the residential area, surrounded by a lush artificial lawn. Seven or eight children were playing freely on the lawn.

  "They're really happy, they just want to go back to their childhood, carefree, and spend the whole day playing without any worries." Wang Siyu said with envy, her eyes fixed on those few children.

  "Xiao Yu, with such a good family background and grandparents who dote on her so much, could she still have worries?" Xiao Yu was somewhat astonished. In his eyes, Wang Siyu should be a girl who grew up in a sweet environment, and with her conditions and her parents' connections, getting into the drama academy should be a sure thing, so why would she still have worries?

  Wang Siyu sighed, "Alas, Dad and Mom are always busy with work, sometimes they go on tour for ten days or half a month without coming home. Fortunately, I have Grandpa and Grandma who take care of me all the time. But they're getting old, I'm afraid that one day... they..."

  At this point, Wang Siyu's voice suddenly choked up.

  Xiao Yu understood that she had grown up in her grandparents' home, and her feelings for them were closer than those for her parents. She also knew what Xiao Yu was worried about, so she comforted her, "Xiao Yu, don't worry, Grandpa and Grandma are very healthy, nothing will happen to them."

  "But they will eventually get older and older, Xiao Yu, I'm really afraid of that day coming, I don't know if I have the courage to bear it..." Wang Siyu raised her head and looked at Xiao Yu, her eyes were filled with crystal tears, she had borne too much love from the elderly on her body, and also pressed a heavy stone in her heart.

  "Light rain, birth, aging, illness and death are all predetermined by heaven, we can't change them. If that day really comes, we should face it calmly, because grandpa and grandma hope for a healthy and happy life, not to be sad and cry for them. If so, they might also be unhappy in another world."

  Xiao Yu's words were like the gentle spring rain, flowing into Wang Siyu's heart and washing away some of the worries that had been accumulating in her mind.

  Wang Siyu smiled, "Xiao Yu, I didn't expect you to be so good at comforting people! Hmm, after hearing that, I feel much better. I will cherish the time and take good care of them while they are still alive!"

  Her face still had crystal-like tears, but when she smiled, it was as if a hundred flowers were blooming. Against the backdrop of the sunset, she looked incredibly beautiful, leaving Xiao Yu staring at her in a daze.

  Wang Siyu's face turned red as he looked at him, and she involuntarily lowered her head and asked softly, "Xiao Yu, do you have a girlfriend?"
