Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Li Dongfang looked at her in confusion and asked, "I heard that you knew Xu Damao, so why did you choose to marry him?"

"This matter is hard to explain in a few words. I have my own reasons, so I won't talk about it for now." Sun Xiu's smile was a little forced.

Li Dongfang nodded, showing his understanding, and changed the subject: "You were so busy toasting that you didn't eat much, so eat as much as you want, there are no outsiders here."

Sha Zhu, who was watching from the side, felt sorry for Sun Xiu and said, "You said you are pretty, but why did you fall for that guy Sha Mao? Is it because he is good at talking?"

Hearing Sha Zhu bring up the matter again, Yu Li nudged Li Dongfang and signaled him to stop Sha Zhu from talking.

Li Dongfang turned to Sha Zhu and said, "Zhu Zi, I told you not to talk about this, why are you still talking about it?"

"Oh, oh, my bad. Let's not talk about this. Let's drink. Sun Xiu, I'll toast you and wish you...happy birthday." Sha Zhu didn't know what blessing to say. It was obviously impossible for him to bless Xu Damao.

Sun Xiu also shook her hair, as if to throw away all the unhappiness behind her, picked up the glass and said to Sha Zhu: "Thank you, we will live in the same courtyard in the future, and please take care of me." After saying that, she drank the glass of white wine in a casual manner.

Li Dongfang and Yu Li looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Yu Li picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of food in the bowl in front of Sun Xiu. She said, "Xiu, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to Dongfang. If you are embarrassed to speak up, you can talk to me."

Sun Xiu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember this. If I need your help in the future, I will never forgive you."

Yu Li laughed and said, "You're overthinking this. With our relationship, isn't your business my business?"

Li Dongfang, who was listening nearby, also shook his head slightly. Women are indeed born actors, and the relationship between the two is definitely not as good as they say. He still remembers that Yu Li's definition of Sun Xiu is just a neighbor who grew up together, not a friend or a bestie.

Sun Xiu took two bites of the food, took a deep breath of wine and said, "Then I have to toast Dongfang with two glasses. Come on, let's go first."

As he said this, he picked up his glass, clinked it with Li Dongfang's, then tilted his head back and drank it all.

Li Dongfang raised his eyebrows. Is he planning to get drunk?

"Xiu, drink slowly." Yu Li couldn't bear to watch it anymore and advised.

Sun Xiu pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, I haven't drunk much yet, I won't get drunk."

"How can you not get drunk if you drink like this? Even if you are not drunk now, you will be drunk soon." Yu Li said to her with some concern.

"I'm really fine. I usually drink with my dad at home. These two cups are really nothing." Sun Xiu still didn't care.

"Okay, then you eat more food." Yu Li said as she helped her pick up some food.

When Sha Zhu saw Sun Xiu drinking cup after cup of wine, he felt a little anxious. This was Maotai, and it was not easy to drink it anywhere else except here at Li Dongfang.

After taking a quick look around, he knew that Li Dongfang would definitely not be willing to drink with him. Sun Xiu and Yu Li were not suitable either. Then it was only Guihua. As for Yu Shui and Yu Haitang, they were still children.

"Guihua, shall we have one?" Shazhu asked, but his actions showed no intention of negotiating at all. He simply touched Guihua's wine glass, drank the whole glass in one gulp, and smacked his lips with satisfaction after finishing.

Guihua rolled her eyes at him, picked up the wine glass, took a sip and put it down.

Sha Zhu was suddenly unhappy. Guihua was not like this before. She drank very happily. What happened today? "Guihua, what happened today? Usually you drink very happily."

"I don't feel well today and don't want to drink." Guihua looked like she didn't want to pay attention to him.

Sha Zhu looked confused and wanted to say something, but Li Dongfang said, "Okay, if they don't want to drink, then don't drink. You can't force them to drink like this."

"No... I'm just not used to it..." Sha Zhu wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Li Dongfang was speechless. He waved at him and whispered in his ear, "Lesbians have those days every month. Don't you understand?"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu finally understood and quickly said to Gui Hua: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you don't want to drink, then don't drink it. Drink some hot water instead."

These words immediately made Guihua blush. This Shazhu really didn't think before he spoke. Women at this time were still relatively reserved. They were not used to discussing such private topics in front of outsiders.

Li Dongfang quickly changed the subject and said, "Yu Li, this is the first time we've had a drink together, how about we have one?"

Yu Li thought about it and realized that it was true. Although they had eaten together several times, they had never drunk alcohol. So she poured herself a glass and said, "I toast to you. Thank you for your work."

"Thank you very much." Li Dongfang said and touched her hand.

Yu Li smiled and said, "That's different. Before, it was just words, but now it's all in the wine."

Since they were drinking, Yu Li stopped pretending. After finishing her drink, she poured a new glass and said to Sun Xiu: "Xiu, I have to toast you today. After all, today is your wedding day. I wish you a happy wedding and a baby soon."

When Sun Xiu heard Yu Li's words, a hint of barely perceptible resentment flashed across her face, but she hid it immediately and smiled, "Okay, we sisters must drink one."

As they drank, for some unknown reason, Sha Zhu and Sun Xiu started drinking together.

"Zhu Zi, I don't care about what happens between you and Xu Damao. Just don't target me in the future." Sun Xiu reached out and patted Sha Zhu's shoulder, saying with a bit of drunkenness.

"No, I can't. I am clear about gratitude and grudges. You are you and Xu Damao is Xu Damao. If you have something to say in the future, I will help you without hesitation if I can." Sha Zhu was also happy after drinking, and he patted his chest and promised.

Guihua looked at Shazhu who was dying of alcohol and reminded him, "That's enough. Today is Sun Xiu's day. Don't get her drunk or something unexpected will happen."

"Zhu Zi, stop. If you want to drink, drink by yourself and don't look for Sun Xiu. If you get drunk later, old man Xu will be angry." Li Dongfang also advised.

"Okay then, I'll drink it myself." Sha Zhu didn't care. He often drank by himself and was used to it.

"Sister, I won't go back tonight. Is it okay if I sleep with Yu Shui?" At this time, Yu Haitang asked Yu Li.

"No, we will be back soon and we have to go to school tomorrow. Don't disturb their rest." Yu Li refused without thinking.

Li Dongfang saw Yu Haitang looking aggrieved, so he advised Yu Li: "If Haitang wants to stay, then just stay. Zhuzi is not an outsider anyway. It's just right for Yushui and Haitang to live in the same room. There's no need to bother them."
