I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Seven Years of Love (Additional Updates)

The warm yellow light in the restaurant filled with the remaining warmth of the food. Most of the dishes and chopsticks on the long table had been removed, leaving only a few crystal glasses and an unfinished bottle of red wine.

Nangong Wan was in high spirits. During the dinner, she kept picking up dishes for Lu Jin. Her eyes were full of affection, “Xiao Lu, eat more. This squirrel mandarin fish dish was Han Han’s favorite when he was a child.”

Lu Jin quickly thanked him, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, the delicious taste melting on his tongue.

He turned to look at Xie Shuhan beside him, picked up another chopstick and put it into his bowl, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.

Xie Shuhan glanced at him helplessly, but still put the fish into his mouth obediently, with a slight curve at the corner of his lips.

The meal was lively and the atmosphere was unbelievably harmonious.

After the meal, Xie Qing looked at the empty wine bottles on the table, and his interest became more and more high. He asked the nanny to bring another box of old wine, with a bit of boldness in his eyebrows, “I’m so happy today, Xiao Lu, come and have a few drinks with me!”

Nangong Wan gave him a strange look, “Drink less and don’t get the child drunk.”

Although he said that, he still got up and cleared the dining table, “You guys chat, I’ll go upstairs for a beauty treatment first, so I won’t disturb you anymore.”

After saying that, he went upstairs with elegant steps.

There were only three men left in the restaurant.

Xie Qing opened the wine himself and filled the glasses for Xie Shuhan and Lu Jin. The wine swayed in the crystal glasses.

He raised his glass, his eyes full of smiles, “Come on, let’s not get drunk today!”

Lu Jin looked at the wine in Xie Shuhan’s cup that was about to overflow, frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at him with a bit of worry in his eyes.

Xie Shuhan felt his gaze and shook his head slightly, saying that he could do it.

Lu Jin then raised his glass.

The three cups collided together gently, making a crisp sound.

Xie Qing raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, his movements crisp and clear.

Not to be outdone, Lu Jin rolled his Adam’s apple and swallowed all the wine in the glass. The spicy and mellow fruity aroma slid down his throat and into his stomach, making his whole body feel hot.

Looking at Xie Shuhan again, he finished the glass of wine and was silent for only a few seconds. His cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he had been stained with fine rouge, and even his ears were red.

He held his forehead and calmed down for a moment. After all, he couldn’t withstand the alcohol. He leaned gently on the dining table, breathing shallowly. His long eyelashes drooped down, casting a small fan-shaped shadow under his eyelids. He looked extremely well-behaved.

“Hahaha!” When Xie Qing saw this, he couldn’t help but laugh loudly, and patted the table and said, “This guy is still the same, pouring one glass at a time! When I was a kid, he secretly drank my wine and it was the same. After drinking it, I was exhausted, so I lay on the sofa and slept all afternoon.”

Lu Jin couldn’t help but laugh. He stretched out his hand and gently brushed Xie Shuhan’s red cheeks with his fingertips.

It feels warm and delicate, like a piece of soft peach cake, which makes people want to take a bite.

He felt itchy in his heart, and his mind was filled with thoughts of “so cute, I want to kiss her”, but because Xie Qing was nearby, he could only hold it back.

“Xiao Lu,” Xie Qing filled another glass for himself and looked at Lu Jin with a bit of slyness in his eyes, “We can’t let uncle drink alone.”

Lu Jin came back to his senses and looked at the wine in Xie Qing’s cup. He felt proud. He picked up the wine bottle and filled it for himself, “Don’t worry, uncle, I will drink with you to the fullest today!”

After he finished speaking, he raised his glass again, touched it with Xie Qing, raised his head and drank it all.

“Okay! Good drinker!” Xie Qing praised and filled the two of them again, “One more drink!”

One glass after another of wine was poured down the stomach, and the mellow aroma of the wine mixed with the drunkenness gradually spread.

The sky outside the window has completely darkened, and the moonlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving the restaurant a hazy silvery glow.

Both of them were a little drunk, and their voices gradually became louder. They talked about everything from business cooperation to embarrassing things in their youth, and they unexpectedly fell in love.

I don’t know how long he had been drinking. Xie Qing’s cheeks were flushed and his eyes were a little erratic. He looked at Lu Jin and suddenly put down his wine glass. His tone became solemn, “Xiao Lu, I will leave my words here today. You can’t let down my Hanhan family.”

Lu Jin’s head was dizzy, but after hearing these words, he straightened his back, his eyes were extremely serious, and his tone was frank and enthusiastic after drinking, “That’s natural! I love him so much! I will never let him down in this life!”

These words were like a reassurance, making Xie Qing completely relieved.

He smiled, but there was a trace of wistfulness in his eyes, with a bit of emotion, and his voice became deeper, “That’s good…otherwise Hanhan has been liking you for so many years, but it will all be in vain.”

These words exploded in Lu Jin’s mind like a thunder.

His originally dizzy head felt as if ice water had been poured on it, and his chaotic consciousness suddenly sobered up a bit.

Lu Jin looked at Xie Qing blankly, the wine glass in his hand shook slightly, and a few drops of wine spilled onto the white tablecloth.

There was an imperceptible tremor in his voice, and even his breathing became rapid, “Uncle… you, what did you say?”

Xie Qing was probably really drunk and didn’t notice anything strange about him. He just kept talking to himself, his tone full of a father’s heartache for his son, “Didn’t Hanhan tell you? This kid is so stubborn. He, let me do the math… I’ve liked you for at least seven years.”

“I think it was seven years ago when he first told me and your aunt that he liked someone.” Xie Qing’s voice gradually became distant, as if he was recalling something long ago.

“It was also a rainy day. He came back from school and was soaked to the skin. However, he told us that he saw a very good-looking man hiding from the rain while holding a small mango cake. It was raining so hard that a cat was in the rain. The man put the cat into his arms, protecting the cake with one hand and holding the cat with the other. He also whispered, ‘You are not allowed to eat my cake.'”

“He said that at that moment, it was obviously a gloomy and rainy day, but because of that person, he seemed to suddenly see the light.”

Xie Qing’s words continued, but Lu Jin couldn’t hear a word of what was behind him.

His brain seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, and it went blank. Only the words “I have liked you for at least seven years” repeatedly circled in his ears.

It hit his eardrums again and again, so hard it felt like it was going to hit his heart.

Seven years, seven years…

Mango cake, seven years…

These fragmentary words were like a thread that instantly connected Lu Jin’s long-lost memories.

On that rainy day seven years ago, he was naughty and kicked out of the house by Old Man Lu. With the remaining money, he bought a small mango cake from the cake shop on the corner. As he was walking, he was caught in a downpour.

He was hiding under the eaves and saw a cat shivering in the rain. He went to hold the cat in his arms and held the cake tightly with his other hand for fear of getting wet by the rain.

At that time, he seemed to really hear footsteps behind him, but it was raining too hard and he didn’t look back.

Lu Jin’s eyes fell uncontrollably on Xie Shuhan beside him.

The young man was still lying on the table, sleeping peacefully. His cold eyebrows were softened by the alcohol, his cheeks were rosy, and his long eyelashes occasionally trembled slightly, like a quiet butterfly.

Lu Jin tightened his grip on the wine glass, his knuckles turned white, and his arms were trembling slightly.

A surge of emotions surged up from the bottom of his heart, sourness and heartache intertwined, making his throat tight and his eyes instantly turning red.

It turned out that he…had no idea at all.

It turns out that the bastard who made Xie Shuhan wait for so long, the one who made Xie Shuhan sad…

The person he loved so much had actually been secretly in love with him for seven years without him knowing.
