Chapter 262: When looking for a wife, find one like a sister-in-law

Wang Lan Hong blushed and waved his hand.

After downing this drink, he had already surpassed his usual limit.

His head grew hazy, and the brothers before his eyes began to see double.

"I can't drink any more!"

Wang Lan said, then tried to get up from the table early.

Zhang Chuqiang grabbed him and pulled him back, pressing his shoulder and saying, "How can you drink like that? Just toasting without touching your food—who else would get drunk if not you?"

"I'm about to vomit—how could I eat anything?"

Wang Lan exhaled several mouthfuls of strong alcohol fumes.

Even he himself felt nauseous smelling it.

Li Jiaci chuckled, leaned back in his chair, and said, "Qiangzi, let this kid go outside to sober up—if he throws up on the table, none of us will eat!"

"Fine, go ahead!"

Zhang Chuqiang pointed toward the outside.

Then Wang Lan staggered out of the dormitory, gulped a few breaths of cold wind, and immediately vomited everywhere like a fountain.

Wang Yingna frowned and said, "I'll go get him a cup of water."

"Only a sister-in-law would be so thoughtful!"

Liu Jiang offered a flattering remark.

Wang Yingna ignored them.

She poured a cup of warm water, went to Wang Lan's side, and patted his back.

"You'll feel better after you throw up!"

Wang Lan held the water cup with both hands, unsteady on his feet, and said, "Thanks, sister-in-law—I'll look for a wife just like you from now on, hehe..."

"Tch, that's only if you can actually find one!"

Wang Yingna tossed her head with a tsundere huff, smiling, "Your big brother's fortune isn't something everyone has!"

"That's right!"

Wang Lan indicated his agreement.

After a while.

The two returned to the dining table.

The few who had been chatting animatedly just moments ago were now completely wiped out.

Wang Lan pointed at their listless figures and complained, "Those brothers were just lecturing me about drinking—look at them now, none can hold a candle to me!"

"Enough of you—cut the bragging or you'll die from it!"

Wang Yingna pressed him down into a seat.

Afterwards she returned to Li Jiaci's side and let out a soft sigh.

Li Jiaci crossed his arms, leaned back against the chair, and closed his eyes tightly.

It was unclear whether he was asleep or just settling his thoughts.

Suddenly.

Li Yihu sprang to his feet.

His drunken eyes were filled with red veins, staring fixedly at Li Jiaci.

"Brother, I, your brother, toast you with a cup!"

Li Yihu curled his right hand into a cup shape, staggered over in a three-step sway.

Before Li Jiaci could even open his eyes.

He promptly tilted his head back and swallowed a mouthful of loneliness.

Afterward he smacked his lips a few times.

"This liquor is great—never gets old no matter how many times you drink it!"

Li Yihu gave a hehe laugh.

He supported Li Jiaci's shoulder and slowly squatted down to the ground.

Just as Wang Yingna thought he was about to do something.

A rumbling sound rose.

Together this guy used Li Jiaci's thigh as a pillow.

Wang Yingna sighed again.

She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of hot dish.

A brief moment passed.

All around Li Jiaci lay drunken brothers slumped sideways.

He was like a magnet.

Before the brothers passed out from drunkenness, they would all come and lean against him.

This was not merely a sense of safety.

It was also a feeling of belonging.

Li Jiaci still kept his arms crossed over his chest.

Except now his eyes were open.

He counted the brothers beside him one by one, and finally a reassuring smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Yingna teased, "I think you're not their big brother but their old mother!"

"There's nothing wrong with that!"

"Little Alán is someone I raised from feces and urine!"

"Being both father and mother!"

Li Jiaci replied.

Looking at his clear-headed appearance.

Wang Yingna instead felt a pang of heartache.

Tonight Li Jiaci is too abnormal.

Li Yihu rubbed against his leg a few times, drool soaking his pants.

"This guy..."

Li Jiaci recklessly rubbed Li Yihu's face.

Perhaps the motion was too forceful.

The half-asleep Li Yihu suddenly furrowed his brows, his body twitching.

"Brother, you need to leave quickly..."

"What?"

Li Jiaci bent down and put his ear close.

"Don't mind me, you hurry and leave!"

Li Yihu was mumbling in his sleep.

Two tears slid down from the corners of Li Jiaci's eyes.

He trembled as he grabbed Li Yihu's hand.

Scenes from his previous life ruthlessly struck his heart.

"You... what did you say?"

Li Jiaci choked out.

Wang Yingna quickly turned her head and saw Li Jiaci with his back to her, his forehead pressed against Li Yihu's face, crying uncontrollably.

"Jiaci brother, why are you crying for no reason?"

She didn't hear Li Yihu's sleep-talk.

At this moment, she was extremely flustered.

Because Li Jiaci is a man who can endure exceptionally well.

Even with huge emotions, he forces himself to appear calm.

Once he can't hold back...

That must be due to a strong impact.

If even he can't bear it, others certainly can't.

Wang Yingna turned Li Jiaci's body.

She held his tear-streaked face, heartbroken to the point of almost being unable to breathe.

"Don't scare me!"

"What on earth happened?"

Wang Yingna wanted to wipe away his tears.

But no matter how she wiped, she couldn't get them clean.

Li Jiaci leaned on her shoulder, shifting from restraint to abandon.

Those sobs made Wang Yingna's heart feel like it was being cut by a knife.

Apart from holding this man tightly, she could do nothing else.

"I'm here, brothers are all here!"

"The things you worry about will never happen!"

"Be good, stop crying!"

Wang Yingna gently stroked his head.

Her voice, extremely gentle, advised.

After a good while.

Only then did Li Jiaci detach himself from the collapsing emotions.

This day felt extremely long for him.

The grudges of two lifetimes were finally resolved on this day.

He felt that the reason for his rebirth was to take revenge for his brothers.

Now the great revenge is about to be exacted.

Facing his brothers, he could finally catch his breath.

However, that sentence of Li Yihu's sleep-talk once again dragged him into the abyss.

He didn't know what Li Yihu had dreamed of.

Whether it was the scene from his previous life before death.

Whenever he thought of the deep grudge of that day's sea of blood.

Li Jiaci's regret in his heart was about to drown him.

He urgently wanted to find an outlet.

To reveal all the secrets he had suppressed for a long time.

To give himself a chance to catch his breath.

Li Jiaci lifted his head.

Looking at the woman before him who cared for him, he simply didn't have the courage.

"Jiaci brother, are you feeling better?"

Wang Yingna asked cautiously.

Hearing that, Li Jiaci forced a faint smile and nodded.

"Mm, I'm much better!"

"The medicinal wine personally brewed by Hong Sao's natal family is really good!"

"But from now on we still need to drink less!"

"Otherwise, old emotions will break down; who can tolerate this stuff?"

Li Jiaci self-mockingly said a few lines.

Immediately he hastily wiped away the tears on his face.

Lowering his head to look at the several unconscious brothers, he tightly grasped Wang Yingna's hand.

"I'll count to three, then we'll get up together!"

"Move quietly, don't startle them!"

"Ah?"

Wang Yingna didn't understand.

Li Jiaci sniffed, moved close to her ear and whispered: "This medicinal wine is quite potent; let's seize this momentum and get the important matters done!"

"Jiaci brother... you... you're a rascal!"

"So, are we doing it or not?"

"I..."

"Hesitation means you want to do it, little one; wait and see, you'll be blown away by pleasure!"
