Trajectory 2: entangled curves

Given her relationship with Deputy Director Wang, and the fact that most people present often ate at her restaurant, they all knew that she had indeed rarely drunk alcohol in the past six months. Even in a situation like this, she would not drink at the table. This was already considered a tacit agreement.

But, there is always a "but".

"Some other day? Why wait until another day if we can drink it, let's do it today." Zhuge Yihua insisted that ignorance is not a crime, "Let's have a small drink together. Just a small cup. I hope you won't refuse for the sake of fate." For some reason, Zhuge Yihua couldn't let her go.

She said she was not feeling well these two days, which meant her period had come, but he still insisted. Not to mention the past affection, there was not even a bit of friendship between classmates.

Haha, the attitude of a superior.

"Okay," Zhuge Qinuo couldn't hold back his anger, "Now that the professor has said this, I dare not refuse to drink. I can only sacrifice my life to accompany you."

"It is my honor to have the chance to meet the professor, so I'll toast you a glass." She had never escaped, and she didn't want to let him go easily.

"Thank you! The director has said so much. You are willing to sacrifice your life for a gentleman, so I will sacrifice my life as well." Zhuge Yihua cooperated very well while watching the show.

"Xiao Nuo, you are so proud of yourself. Professor Zhuge just refused our toast." said one of the principals, whose surname was Lin.

The words were spoken to Zhuge Qinuo, but it was Zhuge Yihua who took over: "Principal Lin, you are making fun of me. Everyone knows that I can't drink much. But Principal Zhuge brought up my ancestors, so I dare not not drink."

Zhuge Qinuo didn't want to waste any time: "Then Professor Zhuge, please!"

Zhuge Yihua: "Okay!"

He finished his glass of wine with a smile.

"Next is your home court." After saying that, he glanced at Zhuge Qinuo intentionally.

Zhuge Qinuo saw this look, but pretended not to see it, and even didn't know where she got angry. This look clearly showed that he didn't want to let her go. She glanced at Ye Mingyuan out of the corner of her eye, and he didn't have any expression, as if they were strangers. They met at a class reunion a few years ago and took photos together, so why did he forget it?

Oh, what kind of expression would he have? What kind of relationship could he have with her? If not strangers, what else could he be? She was just his homeroom teacher for two years in his long life. There were only so many teachers who taught her, but he had taught countless students. She was just a grain of sand, how could he remember her? Besides, after three rounds of drinking, she had already forgotten who Zhuge Qinuo was. Isn't that normal?

This is good, she will feel more comfortable.

Continue pouring wine and toasting. From the moment Zhuge Yihua asked her to drink, he looked at her intentionally or unintentionally, and she knew that she couldn't escape today. So, a small cup? How could it be possible?

To be honest, all the principals and leaders present who she knew had helped her in some way over the years. Zhuge Yihua was the "stranger" and "outsider". Zhuge Qinuo would not favor one over the other in such a situation.

Starting with Zhuge Yihua, one, two, three in clockwise order... She hardly ate any food. She just wanted to politely end her part of the drinking party as quickly as possible so that she could find an excuse to leave.

The sixth one is Ye Mingyuan’s turn.

"Director Zhuge, don't be in a hurry. Drink the wine slowly. Eat some food first to slow down." Ye Mingyuan spoke.

"Is this, concern? It seems that he didn't say he didn't remember. Director Zhuge, haha, what a strange name." she thought.

"Principal Ye, I cannot bear the title of headmaster. As I was your student, you can just call me by my name. My name is Zhuge Qinuo. I wonder if you still remember me," she said.

"Oh, what a small world..." The people around me started to make a noise.

"That's right!" She continued with a smile, not giving him time to answer, "Once a teacher, always a father. I should toast you a glass."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the wine glass and poured a full glass of red wine. Compared to the one-third glass she drank with others, this glass was really full of sincerity. She even walked to Ye Mingyuan and said, "Teacher Ye, it's more friendly to call you teacher. I'll drink first as a sign of respect." After she finished speaking, she tilted her head back, and soon, the glass was empty. Except for a little bit of red wine seeping out from the corner of her mouth, she drank this glass of wine very elegantly.

She didn't leave, but waited quietly for Ye Mingyuan to drink his wine.

"Thank you!" Ye Mingyuan finished the white wine in the glass. Apart from these two words, he didn't say anything else.

"Wow, Director Zhuge has a good alcohol tolerance. Even though I can't drink, I was shocked when I saw it." Zhuge Yihua said.

"What does he want to do now?" Zhuge Qinuo thought. She simply stopped and stood beside Ye Mingyuan, looking at him with a smile, listening to what else he wanted to say.

"For such a rare fate, how can one cup be enough?" Zhuge Yihua began to lead the rhythm again, "Good things come in pairs!"

"Didn't you just say a small cup?" Zhuge Qinuo sneered inwardly.

Being so obviously targeted, everyone present looked at Zhuge Qinuo thoughtfully, especially Director Wang.

She and Zhuge Qinuo can be said to have "met in obscurity". In the past, he was not the director, but a small intern, and she was not the successful woman she is today. She was an ordinary woman who had just got married and had children and started to enter the education and training industry. It can be said that to some extent, they also witnessed and supported each other's growth.

Did she offend this foreign professor? That shouldn't be the case. Although they didn't meet for a long time, this professor was a good person.

Or, is he attracted to her? Want to get her drunk so he can do something with her at night? Impossible. Apart from other things, according to my understanding, this professor is very clean in his private life, and I have never heard of him having such a fetish. Could it be that the temptation before was not big enough? After all, although Zhuge Qinuo is already in his 30s, his appearance has always been online. Especially after the divorce, he seems to be more energetic. It is not impossible to make a man in a marriage come back to life.

But, that was Zhuge Qinuo. If it was the first case, she would definitely be able to deal with it. The two of them would go back and forth for a few times, and it would be just a matter of whether they would drink a glass of wine or not. If it was the second case, this Professor Zhuge would probably return empty-handed. When she was down and out, she had never yielded to anything. Not to mention today. Even if Zhuge Yihua was a great professor, with a strong background and a bright future, he would have to leave after this inspection and exchange. With her current family background and influence, as long as she didn't want to, she could turn against him and leave immediately without any impact. She had the confidence to do so.
