Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua
Chapter 276 Linghua is drunk
Everyone took their seats, and Wendy held up the bottle and poured wine for everyone.
When it came to Xinyang and Linghua, Xinyang politely declined: "Linghua and I don't drink alcohol. We can just drink juice with Yaoyao and the others."
Wendy politely advised, "This is a new product from Dawn Winery. It hasn't hit the market yet, so we're the first to taste it. Are you sure you don't want to try some?"
Xinyang was about to refuse, but Linghua said softly, "It's a rare opportunity to be with you all today. I'd really like to try this fine wine from Mond."
After saying that, Linghua looked at Xinyang and said, "Dear, why don't you accompany me to try it? Maybe it will taste different."
Xinyang's face was filled with worry, his eyes flickering between Linghua and the wine glass. "I'm fine, but you've hardly ever had a drink, and Mondstadt's wines are mostly strong. I'm worried you might not be able to handle it. What if you get drunk and feel uncomfortable?"
Linghua had a faint smile on her lips and gently waved the wine glass in her hand: "Don't worry, I will pay attention. Besides, with you by my side, I have nothing to worry about. Besides, I also want to experience more different things with you." Linghua's eyes were full of anticipation, and her fingers unconsciously stroked the rim of the glass.
Wendy watched from the side, a sly glint in her eyes. She continued pouring wine for Linghua, smiling and saying, "Miss Linghua, you're so forthright! This wine has a rich fruity aroma and a mellow taste. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Then, Wendy looked at Xinyang and said, "Xinyang, your wife is already planning to drink it. Are you really not going to have some? It would be a shame to miss out."
Hu Tao also joined in the fun, jumping over to the two of them. "That's right, Xinyang, we're all good friends, so why are you so worried? If Linghua gets drunk, I'll definitely take good care of her! But who knows, maybe Linghua has a hidden alcohol tolerance!"
Everyone chatted and laughed. Xinyang smiled helplessly, but finally compromised: "Okay, then I'll have a little taste with you." Linghua's face lit up with a bright smile. Wendy saw this and immediately and cheerfully filled Xinyang's glass. Cheers broke out again in the private room.
Wendy finished pouring the wine and returned to her seat. "Now that everyone has poured their drinks, let's invite the most knowledgeable guest, Zhongli, to give a few toasts."
After saying this, Zhongli stood up and cleared his throat, everyone's eyes focused on him. He held the wine glass in both hands, his expression solemn yet gentle. "Today is a fine occasion, and gathering here with old and new friends is truly a blessing in life. Over the past year, we have each experienced ups and downs on our respective journeys, experiencing confusion and setbacks, but also growth. The new year has begun, and the road ahead may still be full of unknowns, but now, we gather in this warm private room, forgetting our worries and sharing in this joy. May our future days be like this fine wine, rich and mellow, with a lingering sweetness."
Everyone raised their glasses, clinking glasses one after another, and the crystal clear wine swayed gently in the glasses.
Linghua took a sip. At first, when the tip of her tongue touched the wine, she frowned slightly. Then, the rich fruity aroma and mellow wine taste spread in her mouth. Linghua opened her eyes slightly, her eyes full of surprise: "The taste of this wine is so special, I have never tasted it before." After that, she took another sip.
Xinyang also took a sip and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Mond's wine-making process is unique and the flavor is very different." After that, Xinyang looked at Linghua with a little worry, and only felt relieved when he saw that Linghua looked normal.
Seeing this, Wendy excitedly began to describe the wine-making process: "This wine was carefully blended by the winemakers of Chenxi Winery. They used the freshest grapes and aged them in oak barrels for several months to achieve such an excellent taste." Everyone listened with gusto and expressed admiration from time to time.
Hu Tao came over and said, "Xin Yang, don't just stare at Ling Hua. We've finally gathered together, drink more and have fun!" As she said that, she picked up the wine glass and wanted to clink glasses with Xin Yang.
After a few rounds of drinking, Linghua's cheeks gradually turned red, her eyes became a little blurred, and her voice unconsciously became much softer: "This wine seems to be really a bit intoxicating." Linghua smiled, with a hint of drunkenness in her words.
Wendy also got excited. She pulled out her familiar harp from behind her and began to strum it gently, a cheerful melody filling the room. "How could such a beautiful Lantern Festival be complete without some singing? I'll sing for everyone!" Her voice was drunken yet filled with passion.
Xiao Gong and Hu Tao huddled together, chattering about festivals and celebrations across the country. Hu Tao danced with joy, "Our Liyue Moon Festival is incredibly lively, with all sorts of delicious food filling the streets!"
Xiao Gong's eyes lit up and he quickly responded, "Our Inazuma summer festival is not bad either. There are food and fun things everywhere, and there is also a grand fireworks show!" The two became more and more excited as they talked, gesturing from time to time.
"After the Lantern Festival is over, this hall master will definitely start a cross-border cooperation with your Naganohara Fireworks Store. When you buy fireworks at Naganohara Fireworks Store, you can enjoy the one-stop service of Wangshengtang." Walnut was beaming with joy, gesturing quickly in the air with his hands, as if he had already seen the grand scene of a great success of the cooperation.
Xiao Gong was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed. "Haha, Hu Tao, your idea is really interesting. If it's you, I'd be happy to cooperate. I just don't know what exactly this one-stop service at Wangsheng Hall is."
Xinyang looked at the tipsy Linghua and gently put his arm around her shoulders, his face full of concern. "How about I take you back to rest? You look drunk." But Linghua stubbornly shook her head and leaned against Xinyang, her eyes gleaming with a different light as she mumbled, "No, I still want to play with everyone. It's rare for me to be so happy today."
As she spoke, Linghua gently broke free from Xinyang's hand and walked towards Hu Tao and Xiao Gong, who were engaged in a heated discussion. Although her steps were a little unsteady, her posture remained graceful, and the faint blush on her face added a touch of charm.
"Are you guys discussing a partnership? We, Bai Lu Shuang Hua, want to participate too." Ling Hua stumbled towards Hu Tao and Xiao Gong. Before she could finish her words, she lost her balance and fell forward. Xin Yang, quick-witted and swift-handed, rushed over and held Ling Hua steady.
"Linghua, you're drunk. Let's go home first."
Linghua was supported by Xinyang, but she was still struggling in a daze, muttering: "I'm not drunk, really, I can still come up with a lot of ideas for cooperation..." Linghua's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were hazy, and she was stubborn with a drunken look.
Seeing this, Hu Tao and Xiao Gong also panicked. "Oh, it seems Ling Hua really can't hold her liquor well. It's our fault for pushing her to drink so much. Xin Yang, why don't you just take her back home to rest?" Hu Tao scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
Xiao Gong also advised: "Yes, Xinyang, how about I accompany you to send Linghua back."
Xinyang waved her hand and said with a smile, "No, no, it's rare for us to get together, so just keep having fun. I can take care of Linghua myself. I'm so sorry for spoiling everyone's fun today."
Hu Tao hurriedly shook her head. "What are you talking about? This is such a bummer! We'll have plenty of opportunities to get together in the future! Send Linghua home quickly and let her get some rest."
After saying that, Xinyang gently picked up Linghua. Linghua rested her head on Xinyang's chest, and she made unclear sounds from time to time.
