Chapter 371: , Medicine

~17 min read 3,261 words

The dishes were served, and the wine was served.

The first to be served were honey-glazed char siu and eight-treasure gourd duck. The wine was Latour.

Liu Yue stood up and personally clipped a piece of char siu for him. "Try it, the taste is quite good; this is one of my favorite dishes."

It was hard to refuse such kindness, so Li Heng didn't refuse her good intentions. He used the tip of his chopsticks to clip it to his mouth and took a big bite to taste it. It was soft, glutinous, and sweet; the taste was indeed okay.

The only flaw was that it was slightly sweet, which made a Hunan person accustomed to spicy flavors feel it was a pity.

Liu Yue asked: "How is the taste? Does it suit your appetite?"

Li Heng evaluated objectively: "I give this dish 90 points."

"Knowledgeable. It seems Princess Xian was right to say you are a foodie."

When Liu Yue said this, she placed two glasses of red wine she had just poured in front of him. "Come, big writer, you pick one."

Looking at the two glasses of red wine, Li Heng asked in confusion: "Pick one? Aren't the two glasses of wine the same amount? What's the catch?"

Liu Yue smiled and said: "Catch? The knowledge inside is huge; I'll tell you later."

Wandering between the two glasses of red wine, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: this girl wouldn't have drugged the wine, would she?

He couldn't help but ponder this.

Having lived two lives, the women he knew were more numerous than crucian carp crossing the river, but Liu Yue was the most unreliable, followed by the second sister.

They both had a common characteristic: they were unscrupulous, lacked awe for many things, and often thought of one thing after another. Especially to achieve a certain goal, they would stop at nothing.

Seeing him pondering the two glasses of wine, Liu Yue seemed to see through his thoughts. She very nimbly reached out and took the third glass, then poured half of each glass into the third glass, then she picked up the third glass and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking, she turned the glass upside down and said playfully: "Not a drop left, dare to drink now?"

Li Heng didn't make a sound and casually took one glass.

Liu Yue held the red wine and asked: "There's only a small half glass left, can I add a bit more?"

Li Heng said: "You can."

Liu Yue added wine to the two glasses in turn to the previous position, then raised her glass and said: "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to see me off, I toast you with this glass!"

Li Heng picked up the wine glass and clinked it with hers: "I wish you a bright future and all your wishes come true."

Liu Yue looked into his eyes and said: "If it's a sincere blessing, let's drink it in one gulp."

Li Heng said: "Cheers."

After saying this, he took the lead and drank the red wine in one gulp, drinking it like beer.

Looking fixedly at him finishing it, Liu Yue then drank it herself, also drinking it painfully until not a drop was left.

Liu Yue asked: "Are you used to drinking this red wine? Do you want to change to another one?"

Li Heng waved his hand: "No need, it tastes quite good."

Seeing this, Liu Yue added wine to the two glasses again, then turned to ask: "Can I ask you a question?"

Li Heng said: "If it's a good one, ask; if it's not, forget it. We are about to go our separate ways, try to leave a good memory."

Liu Yue asked: "Do I count as a good memory here?"

Li Heng said: "Not as bad as you think."

Hearing this, Liu Yue smiled and asked: "Then what was the first impression you had of me when school started?"

Li Heng recalled the scene when they first met and said from the heart: "Beautiful. At that time, the guys in our 325 were all speechless when they saw you. When you passed by, they didn't dare to breathe loudly; it was shocking to heaven and man."

Liu Yue smiled, her body leaning forward slightly: "Is it also shocking to heaven and man in your eyes?"

Li Heng hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It is indeed beautiful."

Liu Yue pursued: "How beautiful is 'indeed beautiful'?"

Li Heng said: "A great beauty in my eyes."

"Rare! For you, who are in the flower cluster, to evaluate me like this, the gold content is more useful than those stinky men praising me a thousand or ten thousand times. I am very happy."

Liu Yue held her right hand loosely and said with a full face of smiles: "Then what about the second impression?"

Li Heng asked: "Yours?"

Liu Yue said yes.

Li Heng thought for a moment: "Can I not say it?"

Liu Yue's eyes half-closed: "The old saying goes, the words of a dying man are good. I'm going abroad tomorrow, maybe we won't necessarily see each other for decades, I want to hear your sincere words."

Looking at each other for a while, Li Heng said: "Then I won't be polite."

Liu Yue urged: "Say it!"

Li Heng worded it: "The second impression you gave me can be summarized in two words: very wild, very demonic!"

Liu Yue wasn't angry either: "Be specific."

Li Heng said: "Many absurd words I couldn't imagine would come out of your mouth, many outrageous things I couldn't imagine would come from your hands. Deviant."

Liu Yue laughed happily: "Then if I drugged the red wine, does it count as deviant? Does it count as fitting my persona?"

Li Heng asked subconsciously: "What medicine?"

Liu Yue said: "Aphrodisiac."

Li Heng frowned, staring at her.

At this moment, Liu Yue felt as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and her whole body was uncomfortable. This was the first time she had felt this way since she was a child.

After a long while, she stood up and said: "I'm going to the washroom."

Seeing his gaze follow her movement, Liu Yue asked playfully: "Afraid I'll run away? How about we go to the washroom together?"

Li Heng didn't move, watching her leave.

Walking out of the private room, Liu Yue stood in the hallway and felt her own situation. A moment later, she ran to the third floor without stopping, unlocked a door, entered, picked up the receiver, and began to dial the number.

"Ding-a-ling!"

"Ding-a-ling!"

Before long, the call went through, and a pleasant voice came from the other side: "Hello?"

Liu Yue said briefly: "Aunt, it's me, I'm at Fuchun Xiaoyuan."

Huang Zhaoyi asked: "Which Fuchun Xiaoyuan?"

Huang Zhaoyi had four Fuchun Xiaoyuan under her name, distributed in different prosperous areas of Shanghai.

Liu Yue said quickly: "In Hongkou, Li Heng and I are both here. By the way, come quickly, we both drank aphrodisiac."

Aphrodisiac?

Huang Zhaoyi's head was a bit confused, and it took a long time to come back to her senses. "You put it in?"

Liu Yue pouted: "How do you still have the heart to ask this! Saying it one last time, come quickly! Otherwise, the medicine will take effect, he will do that to me, and you'll cry to death."

After saying this, she hung up the phone directly, not dragging her feet at all.

Huang Zhaoyi held the receiver, listening to the constant beeping sound from the receiver, and her heart instantly became chaotic. A moment later, regardless of anything else, she picked up the bag on the table with her right hand and flew toward the door.

Little Yueyue was someone she watched grow up. Although she didn't dare to believe that she would do such an outrageous thing as drugging, she didn't dare to leave it to chance either.

If it were true, she wouldn't dare to imagine the consequences.

At this moment, only one collapsing voice was in Huang Zhaoyi's mind: Finished!

Her fate with him was severed from this point on.

Regardless of whether he would have a relationship with Little Yueyue or not, even if there wasn't, even if she stopped it in time, she wouldn't have the face to see him afterward.

Now she was in Huangpu. Although the distance couldn't be considered particularly close, it would still take some time to rush over.

Private room.

After returning from the phone call, Liu Yue asked spiritedly: "What? Are you really afraid I drugged it, so you don't dare to touch the dishes at all?"

Li Heng didn't respond, picked up his chopsticks, and ate while drinking slowly.

Liu Yue sat down to eat and drink with him, and they didn't talk for a long time.

After a period of time, Liu Yue, who was half-full, raised her right wrist to check the time, then asked: "I've always been curious, you are stepping on three boats at the same time, how will you let them get along in the future? How will you convince them all to follow you?"

Li Heng looked at her. "This question is very stupid, you ask yourself why you drugged it?"

Liu Yue was beaming: "So boring, I'm joking."

Li Heng didn't commit himself and continued to eat and drink.

Liu Yue remembered her aunt's special fondness for him. "Are you saying women admire the strong?"

Li Heng replied: "About that."

Liu Yue thought for a long time. "It is indeed so. If you aren't excellent, if your appearance isn't outstanding, and you aren't talented, let alone top beauties like Xiao Han, even ordinary girls in the class would find it hard to look at you. After all, they are also Fudan high-achievers. They might not be prominent in school, but they would definitely be snatched up in society."

Although these words were cruel, they broke through the true meaning of love in the world.

There is no love without reason in the world; there must be something that touches the softness of a woman's heart before she will follow him wholeheartedly.

If you are ugly, fat, short, have no power, no influence, no money, and have a twisted personality, if a woman still fancies this type, that is truly the biggest joke in the world.

Liu Yue asked: "Shanghai Medical College, Peking University, and Renmin University—which one do you want to marry in the future?"

Li Heng drank some wine: "Refuse to answer this question, change the topic."

"Alright."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more about those three women, Liu Yue didn't force it, but said openly: "Actually, Aunt likes you, which was beyond many people's expectations. Our Huang and Liu families found it very difficult to accept at first.

But now my grandfather seems to have slowly calmed down a lot. If you really sleep with her, it's estimated there won't be any big consequences."

Li Heng turned his head.

Liu Yue gestured with both hands. "I'm telling the truth, believe it or not."

Then she added: "Aren't you saying women admire the strong? My aunt has a talent for business. If you are together with her, she can help you expand your territory; at least you won't have to worry about money in the future."

"I..."

Just as Li Heng's mouth opened and he was about to speak, the private room door opened abruptly, and a hurried figure entered from outside.

Looking closely, who else could it be but Huang Zhaoyi?

Today, Huang Zhaoyi was wearing a bright red long windbreaker, her hair was pulled back, very bright, very fashionable. Her charming figure was hidden in the bright red clothes, fuller than the autumn rice, ripe.

As soon as she entered the door, her gaze urgently swept over the two people in the room. Seeing that Li Heng and Liu Yue looked normal and their clothes were neat, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.

She very much hoped that her niece was lying to her; otherwise, she would have no face.

Liu Yue raised her head and asked deliberately: "Eh, Aunt, why are you here?"

Huang Zhaoyi ignored her, paused, and turned to Li Heng: "I heard you were here, so I came to take a look."

Li Heng nodded, suddenly realizing: "This restaurant is yours?"

Huang Zhaoyi acknowledged it, scanned the dishes on the table, then called the waitress and ordered another fish. She knew that this man loved eating fish.

When the waitress left, Huang Zhaoyi took the red wine on the table, first poured wine for him, then poured a glass for herself, picked up the glass, and apologized to Li Heng:

"Aunt, wait."

Just then, Liu Yue stood up abruptly, interrupting her aunt's toast.

Then this girl, in the surprised gaze of Li Heng and Huang Zhaoyi, reached out and snatched the wine glass from her aunt's hand. "You have to drive Li Heng back tonight, don't drink."

As soon as these words came out, Li Heng and Huang Zhaoyi both looked solemn.

Both of them thought of a possibility: was it really drugged?

Before, Li Heng held a skeptical attitude toward Liu Yue's words, believing it less.

And now, he couldn't be sure in his heart either.

Facing the confused gazes of the two, Liu Yue checked her watch again, then stretched a long, long stretch, walked toward the door, and said to herself as she walked:

"Aunt, I don't believe there is a gentleman in this world who can sit still in the lap of a woman, not to mention you are beautiful to this extent. You didn't have the courage to face him in the past, today I created the opportunity for you, whether there is fate or not, you grasp it yourselves."

Li Heng: "."

These words were very Liu Yue!

Hearing this, Huang Zhaoyi's face flushed, and her gaze didn't dare to cast toward him for a while.

Liu Yue left.

When Huang Zhaoyi reacted and chased her out, this girl had already slipped away in the Mercedes 230TE.

Staying downstairs for a while, she returned and found the waitress serving the private room, asking in a low voice: "Where did the Latour red wine come from?"

Liu Yue lied earlier. Fuchun Xiaoyuan had world-class red wine supply, but it didn't have Latour, but another red wine brand, Lafite.

Because Huang Zhaoyi acted as the agent for the Lafite red wine brand in Hong Kong, she naturally would also promote this brand of red wine in the four restaurants and three high-end hotels in the mainland. After all, it involved money.

In this era, many Hong Kong movies would also have soft advertisements for Lafite, most of which were her operations.

Therefore, she asked the waitress this question.

Facing her big boss, the waitress didn't dare to lie. "Latour was brought by Miss Liu herself, she just temporarily handed it to me, asking me to cooperate with her in a play."

"Like this?" Huang Zhaoyi pressed.

"Yes, boss." The waitress said with her head lowered.

After a while, Huang Zhaoyi waved her hand. "Go."

The waitress bowed halfway and retreated with etiquette.

Huang Zhaoyi called her again: "Bring a bottle of red wine in."

The waitress nodded and flew to get the wine.

Before long, Huang Zhaoyi had an extra bottle of red wine in her hand. After hesitating at the door for a while, she finally gathered her courage, pushed the door, and walked in.

Before, it was out of worry, so she didn't think so much and rushed in in one breath.

And now, having to face him alone, Huang Zhaoyi was inexplicably a bit nervous.

Hearing the door open, Li Heng raised his head.

Looking at each other for a while, Huang Zhaoyi closed the door, walked over with a pair of large earrings swaying, and asked very politely: "Can I sit?"

The restaurant was hers, and things were already like this, so Li Heng said very gentlemanly: "Sit."

Huang Zhaoyi sat beside him, opened the red wine with a skilled technique, poured a glass for him, and also poured one for herself, then raised the glass and apologized:

"She has been naughty since she was a child and was spoiled by us. If there was any offense to you today, please don't take it to heart."

Her attitude was particularly good, very sincere, and her voice was like a nightingale's throat, very pleasant to hear.

One doesn't hit a smiling person, not to mention that the two could be considered very familiar to some extent. Li Heng raised his wine glass and clinked it with hers. "It's no big deal. I've been getting along with Liu Yue for almost a year, so naturally, I have some understanding of her temperament."

Huang Zhaoyi smiled, picked up the glass, and took a sip of red wine.

Li Heng followed and took a sip.

Then she put down the wine glass, pondered for a long time, struggled for a long time, and asked him slowly: "Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

Li Heng was stunned: "Do you also believe she drugged it?"

Huang Zhaoyi nodded and shook her head: "Hard to say. She has always been reckless in the past, and our two families have no way to deal with her."

Seeing him not speaking, she explained guiltily: "She has looked like a princess in a fairy tale since she was a child and was very liked by adults. We didn't have the heart to discipline her strictly; we were still too doting on her."

Li Heng silently felt his body, and after a while said: "Currently, it's still considered normal."

Then he realized a problem: "That half bottle of Latour red wine was taken away by her."

Huang Zhaoyi nodded and said cautiously: "That's the part I'm worried about."

Damn! Liu Yue, this pit-maker, Li Heng wanted to die. Immediately, he stood up and said: "Send me back to school."

One shouldn't fear ten thousand, but rather the "what if." Instead of making a fool of himself outside, it was better to go home.

Of course, he was more inclined to believe that Liu Yue used an empty city strategy, playing a psychological war, with the purpose of creating an opportunity for the two.

If she hadn't said it was drugged, maybe Huang Zhaoyi would have retreated and wouldn't have dared to come see him.

Therefore, Liu Yue used this bad strategy to force her aunt to come over and face him, overcoming her psychological obstacles.

How did that saying go: Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once there is a first time, there is no need to worry about the second.

Perhaps, Liu Yue thought that as long as her aunt overcame her psychological difficulties and took the first big step in the relationship, it would be much smoother in the future.

Huang Zhaoyi said: "How about I send you to the hospital to check?"

Li Heng said: "Okay, you can help me report to the police by the way."

Hearing this, Huang Zhaoyi was speechless and took the lead to walk toward the door.

Just after going downstairs, a bus passed by, but thinking that she wasn't particularly familiar with this ghost place and had to transfer in the middle, she gave up.
