Chapter 26: Drunk Liu Yue

After Uncle Zhao took the menu, he didn't hold back, ordering away without ceremony.

Iron pot stewed fish, stewed tofu with cabbage, Killing Pig Dish, sauce-dipped vegetables, crispy fried pork, three earth treasures, and a large portion of rice.

After ordering, he began animatedly introducing Northeastern cuisine—Uncle Zhao is a born-and-raised Northeasterner.

Then Grandma Liu ordered some beer as well—not much, just four cases.

This scene scared the three young girls half to death; the three of them are outsiders who came here for school.

(This grandma is so bold and generous.) Liu Yue said with a grin to the three young girls that they didn't have to drink.

After saying that, she winked at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo sighed helplessly and shouted toward the outside: "Waiter, my wife can drink cold stuff today, bring us a case of ice-cold beer."

(Holy crap, I saw helplessness on Bro Mo's face.) (The helplessness on Bro Mo's face reminds me of my Mongolian wife who can drink two jin and a half of baijiu after marriage.) Li Yu burst into laughter.

Once the beer arrived, Aunt Chen took off her jacket, dominantly opened a case first, and laughed loudly: "Everyone, although we don't know how long this company will last, drink today while we can—cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Grandma Liu, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Sun, and Liu Yue all raised their beer bottles in their hands, laughing loudly in response.

Shen Mo pulled the three girls, who were already scared stiff, along with cups to join in.

(This scene looks so satisfying.) (This scene is just like when I was little during New Year, adults drinking at home while kids sat on the side—Shen Mo is like a slightly older kid.) (Haha, I'm dying of laughter, look, President Liu wants to set up a separate table for Shen Mo.) Li Yu also laughed.

In the video, after drinking half a case, Liu Yue grabbed Shen Mo by the collar, kissed him hard, then hugged him and said in a drunken haze: "Hubby, do you know what I'm most dissatisfied with about you?"

"It's that you can't hold your liquor at all."

"Not fun at all."

"But your skills in bed are really not bad, especially the length—it makes up for everything.."

Shen Mo's face turned green; he looked at Uncle Sun, who was watching the show, and said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle, this part can't be edited in."

Uncle Sun slapped the table and laughed loudly: "It must be edited in—being good in bed is a man's strong point."

(So dirty, but I love it.) (I just want to know, was this video edited today?) (Just look at the blurriness of this video, the editor probably hadn't sobered up yet.) Li Xue burst out laughing—President Liu boldly confessing love is so cool too.

On the other side, Grandma Liu and Aunt Chen hugged Xiao Bai, Lan Lan, and Li Zi—the three young girls—poured them drinks, and loudly talked about the benefits of drinking and the joy of being bold and free.

Then the three young girls in the video got drunk, loudly insisting they weren't drunk; to prove it, the three girls began reciting classical poems.

"Do you not see the Yellow River's waters descending from Heaven, do you not see the high hall's bright mirror mourning white hair."

"In the second year of Qingli, spring, Teng Zijing..."

"The late sun makes river and mountain fair, spring breeze brings flowers and grass fragrance."

"Mud melts, swallows fly, sand warms, mandarin ducks sleep."

"Just having sent spring away, now I send you away."

"If you reach Jiangnan and catch up with spring, by all means ask spring to stay."

"Willows cast shadows on the river, plums shed branches in the snow."

"Black clouds press on the city, the city nearly crumbles; sunlight on armor opens scales of gold."

"On the creek in late spring, yellow orioles grow few; magnolia blossoms fall, apricot blossoms fly."

"Hoeing rice at noon, sweat drips into the soil below."

"Goose, goose, goose, curved neck singing to the sky."

...... Grandma Liu, Aunt Chen, and Liu Yue burst out laughing, and even took out their phones to record.

(Dying of laughter, these three girls traded one moment of extroversion for a lifetime of introversion.) (Three unknown girls, I'm telling you now—you're famous.) (I just want to know if they've sobered up yet.) (That doesn't matter, the company atmosphere is what matters most.) By the end of the drinking, everyone was clearly drunk.

Shen Mo sighed softly and dialed a phone number.

In no time, everyone saw several men and women walk in and help the group out.

Shen Mo gave Liu Yue a princess carry and put her straight into the car.

The drunk Liu Yue planted a loud smacking kiss on Shen Mo and said: "Hubby smells so good."

Shen Mo looked at Liu Yue with doting affection and replied: "Wifey is so cute."

After putting Liu Yue in the car, Shen Mo pulled out two thousand yuan in cash from his wallet and handed it to the people who helped.

"Sorry to trouble everyone to make a trip, take this money and go get a meal."

The people who came hurriedly waved their hands in refusal, but Shen Mo smiled and said: "Take it, it's all my wife the capitalist's money—why would you save her any?"

(Haha, Bro Mo loves President Liu, but that doesn't stop him from roasting her as a capitalist.) (Why is Bro Mo so generous with money? Because it's his wife who earned it.) (Bro Mo and President Liu are just sweet together.) (I have a question now—looking at the video, it's still afternoon, which means they got off work early?)

(Damn, that hurts.) (I don't believe they got off work early.) (Haha, upstairs don't disbelieve it, go check Weibo, there are all kinds of follow-up videos there.) Li Yu clicked into Weibo without hesitation, and sure enough, the top trending topic was Liu Yue drunk—the ice-queen female CEO is actually a Northeastern tiger girl.

Li Yu didn't watch it, and started searching for follow-up videos, which quickly came up.

"Don't touch me, I still have work to do, I still have to edit videos."

The drunk Uncle Sun took his computer out of the car and worked furiously, no one could stop him.

This made it hard for Shen Mo and the others to leave.

After finishing the edit, he shouted at Liu Yue on the other side: "Little Liu, your Uncle Sun has finished editing the video, do you dare to post it?"

Liu Yue in the car swayed unsteadily and said loudly: "Why wouldn't I dare, send me the video, I'll post it."

Liu Yue fished out her phone, pushed everyone aside, and posted the video.

Then, as if to prove she wasn't a coward, she raised her phone again and started recording a video.

"It's now 3:20 PM, I, Liu Yue, just posted a team-building video—everything above really happened."

Then Liu Yue turned the camera toward Li Zi and the other two girls.

The three girls stood up swaying and laughed loudly: "Mom, we're not cowards, we drank, we found jobs, we have internship certificates, and our boss lady is also a big handsome guy."

(Dying of laughter, Bro Mo is about to cry.) Next came Grandma Liu, Aunt Chen, Uncle Sun, Uncle Zhao, and finally Shen Mo.

Liu Yue hugged Shen Mo, cheek to cheek, and forced him to say: "Hubby, say it—you love Liu Yue the most, no matter what she does, you'll never leave her, you'll take care of her for a lifetime."

Shen Mo repeated it word by word, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Hubby, you said, you're going to marry Liu Yue."

Shen Mo speechlessly retorted, "I'm already married to you."

(Hahahahaha, Brother Mo is killing me laughing.) (Seriously suspecting this is all a setup, a setup where Boss Liu forcibly marries Brother Mo.) Li Yu continued scrolling down the video, and there was also one posted by the restaurant owner showing the battlefield of them drinking a total of twelve cases of beer.

The restaurant owner also separately posted a video, grinning as he said, "Everyone, my restaurant's food is really fragrant, it even got Boss Liu drunk, everyone come on over."

Looking at plate after plate of leftover scraps, Li Yu suddenly realized something — do Northeastern dishes really need to be served on big iron platters?
