“Okay.” Wei Jinyi obediently agreed, then picked up the bowl full of soup and drained it with a gulp.

Then he handed the empty bowl over to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo glanced at the empty bowl and then at Wei Jinyi.

She vaguely felt as if Wei Jinyi was seeking praise from her!

“Um…second brother, you’re wonderful… you actually finished drinking everything! Very obedient!” Wei Ruo tentatively complimented.

Then Wei Jinyi, satisfied, put down the empty bowl.

In that moment, Wei Ruo knew that her initial judgment was correct. Wei Jinyi had indeed brought the empty bowl to her for praises!

As Wei Ruo was pondering on how to navigate this version of Wei Jinyi, he opened his mouth again:

“Ruoruo you are beautiful.”

Wei Jinyi stared at Wei Ruo with sincere eyes, there was even a hint of childlike quality in his demeanor.

Wei Ruo didn’t know whether to laugh or be speechless and muttered: “If you were not this good-looking and sincere, I’d consider you as a stinky hooligan.” The distance between a refined gentleman and a fool is just a cup of alcohol, albeit a weak one with an alcohol percentage less than twenty.

“Ruoruo, can I perform a sword dance for you?” Wei Jinyi suddenly asked. “What?” Wei Ruo was stupefied for a moment, not instantly reacting to what Wei Jinyi had said.

Then Wei Jinyi stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and his intention became clear through his actions.

He was going to perform a sword dance for her!

Could he perform a sword dance? How would this man, elegant and refined, looking like a genteel scholar look dancing with a sword?

Would it be outrageous? Would he stumble? Or make a fool of himself?

Several imagined scenarios quickly drifted through Wei Ruo’s mind: clumsy dancing, stumbles, slips, even self-spanking.

Xiaobei looked anxious, contemplating whether to stop their young master. However, if the young master were empowered by liquor, his attempt to intervene might be futile. It could even lead to further complicated situations if they ended up clashing.

After debating for a while and assessing several potential outcomes, Xiaobei finally decided to stand by and not intervene.

When Wei Jinyi arrived next to a small cluster of bamboo, he lithely hooked up a bamboo branch lying on the ground with his foot and steadily caught it with his right hand.

Wei Ruo looked surprised. Despite his inebriated state, Wei Jinyi’s physical movements were remarkably deft.

Then using the bamboo stalk as a sword, he began to dance. The sword and his body moved harmoniously, displaying a magnificent display of martial arts.

Each move was swift and fluid, and carried a unique blend of strength and gentleness.

It was Wei Ruo’s first time seeing Wei Jinyi perform a sword dance. Although she herself didn’t possess any martial arts skills, she had seen Xiumei and Xu Zhengyong practicing martial arts, so she knew Wei Jinyi’s “sword” was not a mere waving about.

As a martial artist Xiumei whispered in Wei Ruo’s ear, “Miss, the young master’s swordsmanship is superb!”

“No wonder he has such a good physique. So, when he mentioned exercising, he wasn’t bluffing me. He’s actually been working out,” Wei Ruo remarked.

Next to them, Xiaobei held his forehead, perplexed. If this continued, their young master might reveal all his secrets to the young lady.

Even though the young lady and they had gone through trials and tribulations together, it might not be that good if she knew certain things, should it?

All Xiaobei could do was to fret internally, praying that their young master would sober up soon.

After performing a series of swordplay, Wei Jinyi put down the bamboo stalk and returned to Wei Ruo’s side, his deep eyes staring intently at Wei Ruo.

“Did I dance well?” Wei Jinyi asked, hope gleaming in his eyes like a child eager for praise after accomplishing a task.

Hmm, excellent, very good, you did it the best!” Wei Ruo praised.

Upon being satisfied, Wei Jinyi’s face inevitably broke into a sunny, radiant smile.

Usually, his smile was quiet and unnoticeable, always polite and mild.

This kind of radiant smile was the first time Wei Ruo was seeing.

Not just Wei Ruo, even Xiaobei who had served him for over a decade was seeing it for the first time.

“Alright, alright, we’ve finished the sword dance. How about we go to the room for a nap?” Wei Ruo placated Wei Jinyi in a tone used when cooing to a small child.

If this situation isn’t going to get better anytime soon, might as well make him rest for a while in his room.

“Nope.” Wei Jinyi refused outright.

Ok then, Wei Ruo retracted her earlier thought about Wei Jinyi behaving well after getting drunk.

“So, what do you feel like doing now, Brother Wei?” Wei Ruo asked.

Wei Jinyi: “Eat.”

Wei Ruo:

Such a leap in his train of thought!

Wei Jinyi: “Ruo’s food is delicious. It’s the best I’ve ever had.”

“Oh, really, Brother Wei? Usually, I don’t see you complimenting the dishes Meimei cooks. After getting drunk, you are finally being honest” Wei Ruo couldn’t help but grumble.

“Ruo, let’s go eat!” Wei Jinyi said.

“Ok ok ok, let’s go eat. There’s food already prepared, we can’t waste it.” Wei

Ruo led Wei Jinyi back to the dining table.

Wei Jinyi sat back down at the table and started to eat, his demeanor, and every movement very good-natured, he enjoyed every bite.

Gone was his usual restraint and formality, his actions were carefree but not impolite. He felt more like a normal person.

Wei Ruo asked Xiumei and Xiaobei to join them for the meal. They had cooked

a lot today, and it would be a waste not to eat.

It’s always better to have more people celebrating, even if today’s host of the celebration was already drunk.

After the meal, Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi and asked, “Brother Wei, how do you feel now?”

“Delicious.” Wei Jinyi replied.

Great, he’s still not sober!

“How about we go back to the room for a rest? We can leave it to Xiumei and Xiaobei to clean up.”

“Ok” Wei Jinyi agreed obediently.

Then he turned around and obediently walked towards the room, pausing as he stepped over the threshold and looking back at Wei Ruo.

“Isn’t Ruo going to sleep?” Wei Jinyi asked.

I am going back to Tingsong Garden for sleep.” Wei Ruo quickly replied.

Wei Jinyi pondered for a moment, then nodded in acceptance.

Finally, he entered the room, Xiaobei quickly followed him in.

Seeing that the young master actually took off his outer garment and obediently lay down, Xiaobei wiped the sweat off his forehead.

###

When Wei Jinyi woke up, he looked around the room, slightly confused.

What happened? He completely lost his memory after dining with Wei Ruo yesterday, he had no idea how he ended up in his room.

“Young master, you’re awake? Have some ginseng tea to help clear your mind.” Xiaobei handed him the ginseng tea.

“What happened? When did I return to the room? When did Miss leave?” Wei Jinyi asked.

Xiaobei looked troubled.

“Speak.”

“Young master, you got drunk in the afternoon and made quite a fuss. Miss had a hard time finally coaxing you to sleep in your room.” Xiaobei explained carefully.

After Xiaobei finished answering, noticing his young master hadn’t moved, said, “Young master, don’t worry, apart from letting Miss know you have martial arts skills because of your sword dance, you haven’t revealed anything else.”

“I sword danced?”
