inspire-indiana Chapter 1277's acting was a bit too obvious.
Chapter 1277's acting was a bit too obvious.
Not long after the meal started, Su Zekai's condition became suspicious.
His cheeks were flushed, his eyes were glazed over, and his reaction was noticeably slow.
However, when Zhang's father raised his glass, he still obediently drank along, and didn't talk much more than before.
He would obediently answer whatever the Zhang family asked him, but he would always tilt his head and try to think before speaking.
He still didn't make any boastful statements, and his answers to questions remained grounded and reliable.
Seeing her boyfriend like this, Zhang Xueyan twitched her lips and pushed up her glasses.
Aunt Zhang said, "Don't just drink alcohol, eat some food."
She used serving chopsticks to put a piece of food on her husband's and Su Zekai's plate.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Su Zekai, his tongue thick, thanked Zhang Ma, struggled to hold his chopsticks steady, picked up a piece of chicken, put it in his mouth, and began to gnaw on it earnestly.
As soon as Zhang's father picked up his wine glass, he quickly put down his chopsticks and picked up his wine glass as well.
They've now switched from baijiu to beer.
Zhang's father downed a glass of beer in one gulp.
Su Zekai also downed his drink in one gulp.
Zhang Xueyan looked at her father and said, "Dad, don't drink too fast, you'll feel unwell later."
Mr. Zhang glanced at his youngest daughter, chuckled inwardly, but said aloud, "Okay, I got it."
Zhang Xueqing smiled and said, "How about I get you some red wine too?"
Zhang Xueyan glared at her sister, "Dad and the others can't stand drinking it all mixed together."
Zhang Xueqing smiled and said nothing more.
After a few rounds of drinks, Zhang Xueyan got up and served everyone some rice.
Zhang's father drank quite a bit, but couldn't eat much; he only ate a small half bowl of rice.
Su Zekai held his rice bowl and ate earnestly, his expression even somewhat devout.
The whole family, including Su Zekai, enjoyed a lively dinner together.
Su Zekai staggered to his feet, still wanting to help clear the dishes.
Aunt Zhang said, "No need for you, Xiao Su, you should rest."
Su Zekai slurred, "I...I can do it..."
Zhang Xueyan reached out and tugged at his arm, whispering, "Don't be stubborn, I'm afraid you'll break the dishes."
Su Zekai: "...Oh."
With his already sluggish brain, he tried to imagine himself smashing plates and bowls at his girlfriend's house, but he froze.
Looking at Su Zekai's blank and dazed expression, Zhang's father felt a little embarrassed to watch.
He waved to Zhang Xueyan, "Xiaoyan, go take him to lie down for a while and sober up."
"Okay, Dad."
Zhang Xueyan agreed and pulled Su Zekai into the guest room.
She pressed Su Zekai down onto the bed, saying, "Lie down and get some sleep."
Su Zekai looked up, staring blankly at his girlfriend, his eyes glistening with tears and revealing an undisguised affection.
"I...I'll sleep here...okay?"
"What's wrong with that? Lie down now."
Zhang Xueyan reached out and pushed Su Zekai onto the bed with a slight effort.
Seeing that he was lying a little crooked, she said to him, "You should straighten yourself up."
Su Zekai twisted his body to straighten himself.
Zhang Xueyan pulled a thin blanket over him.
Su Zekai reached out and grabbed Zhang Xueyan's arm, wanting her to stay a little longer.
Zhang Xueyan then sat down on the edge of the bed.
She reached out and touched his flushed cheeks, then touched his forehead, which was slightly hot.
She asked him softly, "Do you feel like throwing up?"
Su Zekai shook his head slightly.
He was actually feeling a bit dizzy and nauseous, but he didn't want to throw up at his girlfriend's house, so he tried to suppress the nausea, and thankfully he was able to.
"If you feel unwell or feel nauseous, just tell me and I'll help you to the bathroom or get you a plastic bag or something."
"Um……"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Xiao Yan, do you see where the TV remote is?" It was Zhang's father's voice.
Zhang Xueyan was speechless for a moment.
Even if her dad really couldn't find the TV remote, weren't her mom and sister outside? Why did he have to ask her?
Her dad clearly did it on purpose!
Zhang Xueyan felt helpless, but still replied, "I'll help you find it."
She patted her boyfriend's hand to comfort him, "You get some sleep, I'm going out now."
Su Zekai didn't dare ask his girlfriend to stay, so he could only obediently say, "Oh, okay..."
Zhang Xueyan tucked the blanket around him, then got up and left the guest room.
She found the remote control on the back of the sofa and handed it to her dad, saying, "The remote control is here."
Mr. Zhang said in a fake tone, "Oh dear, my youngest daughter has such good eyesight. I've been looking for her for ages and couldn't find her. Your mother and sister also said they didn't see her either."
Zhang Xueyan: "..."
The acting feels a bit too obvious.
Then, Zhang's father turned on the TV, and the family of four sat in the living room, watching TV and chatting.
Not long after, they heard Su Zekai snoring loudly from the guest room.
Zhang Xueyan: "...!"
How come she never noticed before that Su Zekai's snoring was so loud!
Zhang Xueqing burst out laughing.
Mr. Zhang said with a twitch of his lips, "This kid sleeps quite soundly after drinking."
Zhang's mother glared at her husband, "And you, why did you make him drink so much?"
"How much?" Zhang's father scoffed. "He didn't even drink as much as I did."
Zhang Xueyan said, "His alcohol tolerance is average."
Mr. Zhang glared at his youngest daughter and said, "Stop defending him!"
Zhang Xueyan: "...?"
Can she be considered to be speaking up for her boyfriend?
Never mind, she stopped talking.
Seeing that his youngest daughter had shut up, Zhang's father said, "But this kid is alright when he's drunk. He doesn't talk nonsense or brag when he's drunk, and he doesn't make a fuss. He just goes to sleep."
Zhang Ma said, "He's alright when he talks, and seems like a pretty honest and kind young man."
Mr. Zhang added, "This is only the first time we've met. Men can be good at pretending. We'll have to wait and see what kind of person he really is, especially since he's from Jiangxi Province... well, that's too far."
When he said "too far," he was actually subtly expressing his distrust of the area.
The Zhang family all understood the meaning behind his words.
Zhang Xueqing said, "Although he is from Jiangxi Province, if his parents are like Su Xing's parents, then it would be quite good."
Zhang Xueyan said, "When I went to Lushan with Su Xing, I met his parents, grandparents, and his younger sister. His family members are all very easy to get along with and have open minds."
Upon hearing this, Zhang's parents and sister all glared at Zhang Xueyan.
They subconsciously felt that she had a bias towards the Su family and was speaking up for Su Zekai.
Zhang Xueyan said with some helplessness, "Even if I hadn't been dating Su Zekai, this is how I would view the Su family. As you all know, the Su family owns a tea factory, and all of Grandpa and Grandma Su's children receive dividends from the tea factory, not just their son. Moreover, Su Zekai is free to choose his major and future career path. His younger sister, Su Yu, chose the tea science major at Zhejiang University on her own initiative, and when Su Xing chose her major, her elders didn't interfere. In families with family businesses, the Su family's situation is not common, is it?"
