Chapter 373 Persuading someone to drink
Xu Damao sat aside, with a barely perceptible smile on his face. He sometimes chatted and laughed with Widow Tian, and sometimes observed He Yugang's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
He Yugang was sitting alone at one side of the table, listening to the lively conversation and laughter. He felt out of place and drank the wine in the glass in an irritable mood.
Xu Damao noticed He Yugang's abnormality. He glanced at He Yugang's wine glass and found it was empty. He stood up, picked up the bottle, and skillfully filled He Yugang's glass with wine. His movements were smooth and natural.
He Yugang was attracted by the sound of pouring wine. He looked up and saw that his glass was filled again. He frowned slightly, looking a little helpless.
He put down his chopsticks, held up the wine glass with both hands, and tried to refuse, but swallowed the words back. He took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said to Xu Damao:
"Da Mao, this glass of wine is enough for me. I really can't drink any more." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice and determination in his eyes.
When Xu Damao heard what He Yugang said, a playful smile appeared on his lips. He didn't care. After all, even if he was gone, there was still the widow Tian who was eager to try:
"Come on, Yugang, let's drink this glass. I'm so happy to have exchanged so many useful things today." As he said this, he raised the glass and gestured to He Yugang.
He Yugang looked at the glass that Xu Damao raised. He knew that Xu Damao had agreed to the toast, but he also knew that he couldn't refuse it. He hesitated for a moment, but finally raised the glass and clinked it with Xu Damao.
The two people's wine glasses collided in the air, making a crisp sound, as if adding a touch of liveliness to this quiet night.
As He Yu raised his head, a spicy liquid flowed into his throat. The stimulation of alcohol made his brows unconsciously frown.
He shook his head, trying to dispel the sudden feeling of dizziness, but his body seemed somewhat out of control.
He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, then gently put the wine glass back on the table, supported his hands on the table, and planned to use the chopsticks to pick up a few bites of food, taking this opportunity to suppress the drunkenness a little.
At this moment, Widow Tian's voice broke the brief silence: "Yugang, you helped my sister-in-law fetch water today, so I'll toast you a glass. You won't give me face, right?" She raised her glass with a smile, her eyes revealing anticipation and kindness.
He Yugang felt a little embarrassed when he heard what Widow Tian said. He knew that he was a little dizzy now, and if he drank more, he might really get drunk.
He looked up at Widow Tian, and the familiar and kind face was filled with a warm smile, which made him reluctant to refuse. However, he was worried about his physical condition and was afraid that he would really get drunk here.
He looked for help at Xu Damao who was watching the show, with a hint of helplessness and pleading in his eyes. Seeing this, Xu Damao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a playful smile, as if he was enjoying a good show.
He sat leisurely on the stool, his hands crossed over his chest, his eyes shifting back and forth between He Yugang and Widow Tian.
Xu Damao knew that He Yugang's alcohol tolerance was limited, but he also understood the deep meaning of Widow Tian. He stood up, deliberately slowed down his pace, slowly walked to He Yugang, gently patted his shoulder, and said in a joking tone:
"Yugang, this is your fault. Sister Tian was so enthusiastic and personally toasted you, how could you refuse?"
He Yugang cursed inwardly, saying that Xu Damao was just looking for trouble. But facing the expectations of Widow Tian and Xu Damao's teasing, he couldn't get angry.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner emotions, forced a smile on his face, and said to Widow Tian: "Sister-in-law Tian, you are too polite. Then I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you for your kindness."
After saying that, he picked up the glass, took a deep breath, and drank it all in one gulp. The alcohol hit his throat and stomach again, making him feel uncomfortable.
But he still suppressed his discomfort and tried to stay calm. He put down his wine glass, gently wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, and then looked at Widow Tian and Xu Damao again, with an awkward smile on his face.
Widow Tian watched He Yugang finish the drink in one gulp, her smile growing even brighter. She nodded with satisfaction, as if she had enjoyed a wonderful performance.
She picked up the wine jug again, preparing to pour another glass for He Yugang, and said in an approving tone: "Yugang has a really good alcohol tolerance, this glass will definitely be no problem for him!"
