Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

"Um... do you drink alcohol?"

Gu Heng suddenly asked,

Liu Shiyin was somewhat taken aback by the question, and then gently shook her head.

"Oh, I see. That's alright."

Gu Heng smiled and picked up a glass of brightly colored fruit wine, handing it to Liu Shiyin.

"This is fruit wine, it has a mild taste, you can try it."

Liu Shiyin took the wine glass, took a small sip, and the sweet taste of the fruit wine filled her mouth, which surprised her.

Is this still acceptable?

Gu Heng looked at Liu Shiyin and found her adorable, so he couldn't help but chuckle. Liu Shiyin nodded somewhat shyly.

Huo Muchen witnessed all of this. He sat to the side, his gaze inadvertently drifting towards Liu Shiyin and Gu Heng. Watching their interaction, a complex mix of emotions welled up within him.

Huo Muchen frowned slightly, trying to suppress his emotions. He picked up the wine Lin Xiangyao handed him and drank it all in one gulp, attempting to numb his thoughts with alcohol.

However, the restlessness in his heart grew stronger, as if an invisible force was tearing at his soul.

"Mr. Huo, please drink less. You'll get drunk very easily if you drink like this."

Lin Xiangyao said with concern, her voice gentle and sweet.

Upon hearing this, Huo Muchen's lips curled into a wicked smile. He turned to Lin Xiangyao, bowed slightly, and whispered in her ear:

"I don't get drunk that easily."

His voice was deep and magnetic, making it irresistible.

Lin Xiangyao blushed with embarrassment at Huo Muchen's sudden approach. She looked up at Huo Muchen, her eyes sparkling with shyness and infatuation.

Huo Muchen looked into Lin Xiangyao's affectionate eyes, a slight, almost imperceptible sneer playing on his lips, his eyes filled with disdain. He turned back to continue drinking, completely ignoring Lin Xiangyao's advances.

From Liu Shiyin's perspective, Huo Muchen's lowering of his head to kiss Lin Xiangyao looked as if they were kissing. A strange pang of sorrow welled up in her heart.

She gently lifted the fruit wine in her hand, tilted her head back slightly, and took a few more sips. However, for Liu Shiyin, who had never tasted wine before, the effects of the alcohol were exceptionally rapid. Her cheeks, catalyzed by the alcohol, gradually flushed, like peach blossoms in spring, shy yet vibrant. Her eyes began to glaze over, as if the aroma of the wine had transported her to another world—a world with landscapes she had never seen before and emotions she had never felt before.

This feeling surprised Liu Shiyin. She had never imagined that this little fruit wine could bring about such a wonderful change. She felt her heart beating faster, her blood boiling, as if a brand new power was surging within her.

"Are you alright? Are you okay?"

Gu Heng looked at Liu Shiyin's flushed face, his eyes full of concern.

Liu Shiyin turned her head and smiled gently at him, like a rose swaying in the night breeze, beautiful and charming even with a hint of intoxication.

"I'm fine,"

She said softly.

"It's getting late, I should head back."

She didn't want to stay in this place that caused her so much pain and depression; she just wanted to escape as soon as possible and return to her own world.

After saying that, she picked up her glass and downed the wine in one gulp. The fruit wine flowed in her mouth, spicy and sweet, as if reflecting her mood at that moment.

She swallowed the last mouthful of wine, then picked up her bag, stood up, and was about to leave.
