"Huh? Time to eat?" Pei Zeyan pursed his lips, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Gu Xia'an glanced at Pei Zeyan: "What's wrong with having dinner? Isn't it good enough that I'm treating you to dinner?"
"Oh, no." Pei Zeyan and said, "Then let's make it clear first, dinner is fine, but I don't drink alcohol."
Gu Xia'an: "If you don't want to drink, then don't. Is someone forcing you?"
"Okay!" Hearing that he wouldn't be drinking, Pei Zeyan relieved. "Then I'll go eat."
Lu Chiyan frowned in confusion, his face full of curiosity.
What's wrong with drinking?
What's the problem?
Why can't we drink alcohol?

Qin Sili booked the largest private room at the best hotel in Qing City.
Although there were only five of them, the table was laden with dishes, comparable to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
Pei Zeyan's eyes lit up as soon as he entered the private room. " Brother Sili, you're so extravagant! No wonder you're the richest man! Brother Sili, do you need a leg accessory?"
Lu Chiyan reached out and pushed Pei Zeyan away, "Thank you, he doesn't need it!"
"I'm just asking, and you can't even accept this? You're jealous of everything, were you a jealous person in your past life?" Pei Zeyan pouted arrogantly.
"I just like being jealous, is there a problem with that?" Lu Chiyan returned Pei Zeyan's arrogant look.
Pei Zeyan: "..."
"No problem." Pei Zeyan smiled. "Eat, eat, eat. Your family's vinegar isn't something you can eat all you want."
Hearing Lu Chiyan jealous for him, Qin Sili's eyes were full of smiles. It was a sense of satisfaction and pride from being cared for and nervous by the person he liked. Even though he tried to hide it on his face, the emotion he couldn't conceal still shone through his eyes.
Wen Zhao, standing to the side, shook his head helplessly, his face clearly showing his "helplessness".
Gu Xia'an, taking in the reactions of both couples, thought, "???"
that is...
She was the last person who should have been at this meal, right?
So, she's the one who shouldn't have come, right?
Okay, okay, so single people deserve to be tortured, right?
If she had known this would happen, she would rather stay home and eat cucumbers now, without having to worry about gaining weight.
" A-Li, where's the wine?" Lu Chiyan asked, looking at Qin Sili.
Qin Sili waved his hand, and the waiter in the private room brought over the wine that had been prepared earlier.
"Wait, why is there alcohol? Didn't you say you don't drink?" Pei Zeyan panicked when he heard that they were going to get alcohol.
Lu Chiyan looked at Pei Zeyan with feigned ignorance. "When did I say I wouldn't drink?"
"You clearly said you wouldn't drink..." Pei Zeyan at Gu Xia'an, "You clearly said you wouldn't drink!"
Gu Xia'an immediately said, "Well... it's not like I'm treating, so my decision doesn't count, right?"
Pei Zeyan: "..."
"It's okay. If you really don't want to drink, no one is forcing you. You can just not drink," Lu Chiyan considerately.
But quickly, he changed the subject, "However, A-Li specially brought out his treasured wine, the kind that's been stored away for years, to treat you to dinner. Oh, it's alright, our Teacher Pei isn't unsophisticated; he's certainly tasted plenty of this kind of wine. It's fine if you don't drink it this time!"
Pei Zeyan: "!!!"
Gu Xia'an recognized the wine immediately when the waiter brought it over. After exchanging a knowing glance with Lu Chiyan, she exclaimed, "Wow! It's Romanée-Conti, and a 1990 Romanée-Conti at that! Brother Sili, this wine could buy a house!"
Pei Zeyan: "!!!"
Pei Zeyan widened in surprise. "This wine is so expensive?"
"Yes." Lu Chiyan smiled slightly, then said to the waiter, "Just pour us four glasses, he doesn't drink."
Pei Zeyan: "!!!"
"I'll drink!" Pei Zeyan hastily, "Who said I wouldn't drink!"
