"Cheers!"

Mr. Lane's words interrupted Rey's ramblings.

The four glasses touched each other, and the amber wine trembled slightly.

Mr. Xing is indeed an alcoholic who has been practicing for many years, and as soon as the wine glass is touched, he impatiently pours the wine into his mouth. With the movement of the Adam's apple, a large glass of wine has been eaten, and Mr. Miki also drank the wine in one gulp.

Men are very helpless animals, because on many occasions men can't back down, as if once they retreat, they will lose the title of man and become no longer a man.

The wine floor is a man's testing ground!

Seeing that the "two men" present had drunk all the wine in their glasses, Rey knew that he could not back down. Fortunately, although he has many shortcomings, he is by no means idle in drinking, after all, he is also from the holy land of wine, the Iron Tower Province.

The wine is crystal clear, the aroma is refreshing, with the smell of ice cubes, cool, slow, and slippery into Rey's chest.

The first half of the experience was really wonderful, but the second half of the glass was not so good.

Spirits are spirits, no matter how many years have passed, that precipitation, that persistence, that kind of blazing pleasure will still rise from the lower abdomen, skip the throat, and go straight to the brain.

When Rey put down his glass, he was in a trance.

"Good amount of alcohol!" Teacher Miki said with a smile.

"Haha," Mr. Xing smiled, "it seems that Miki-sensei has picked up a treasure." ”

"What, what do you mean?" Rey still felt like he was standing among the white clouds at the moment, surrounded by nothingness and etherealism.

"Everything in the game shop is good, but it's hard to find drinking friends." Mr. Miki began to pour a second glass of wine into the cups of himself and Mr. Xing, "Little Z, this guy can be said to be omnipotent in heaven and earth, but he doesn't get a drop of wine. You have also seen this kid with peace of mind, it's just a cup to pour. Let's not talk about Meiguo, this little girl, although Ah Gorilla can drink a jar, but soon after, this jar of wine will be discharged untouched, which is simply a tyrannical thing. In the game workshop, only Qing'er can accompany the old man to drink two glasses, Qing'er is really perfect, but Qing'er is a girl after all, and she has a lot of her own things to do, why is the old man embarrassed to always pull her to drink? ”

"Hehe," Xiao Qing took a slight sip and put the wine glass aside, "It's okay." ”

"It's great to have you co-opted, so that the old man doesn't have to be accompanied by a long lamp when he drinks every day." Miki-sensei said as she raised her glass and looked at Rey, "What's going on?" Another drink? ”

"Huh?" Rey subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand.

"Haha." Mr. Xing smiled and raised his glass, "I really want to leave everything in the Birdman Market and join the game shop." ”

"Haha." Miki-sensei also smiled, he no longer "difficult" Rey but clinked glasses with Mr. Xing, "The door of the Time Game Workshop is always open for Mr. Xing. ”

"Haha, what an honor."

The two drunkards began to drink heartily again.

They met late, both confidants and rivals, and soon the first wine was drunk.

"Rey."

Just as Miki-sensei started to open the second wine, he suddenly paused.

"Huh?"

"I remember saying," Miki-sensei said, taking off the cork from the second wine, "Mr. Ziqi's outcome is not only about his own gamble, but also about your future in the game shop. ”

“…… Right. Rey reminisced for a moment and nodded in acknowledgement.

It's been so long that Rey has almost forgotten about it.

"Then," Miki-sensei actually filled Rey's wine glass again, "With Mr. Ziqi successfully breaking the level, you will become an official member of the Time Game Workshop from today onwards." ”

"Huh?"

Although he already knew that this was the result, Rey was still excited when he heard Miki-sensei announce it.

"Come," Xiao Qing raised her glass again, "Let's welcome Rey to the team." ”

"Cheers!"

The four glasses touched again.

"Good wine!" Mr. Xing praised again, his eyebrows furrowed, "I love Glenfiddich so much, this smoky taste is so wonderful." ”

"Haha," Miki-sensei said with a smile, "I love this too." ”

"It's really hard for you to break the bill this time."

"Everywhere, wine is meant to be shared with people who understand its own value."

"Next time," Mr. Xing said, putting down his glass, "Miki-sensei must take some time to visit me, although I don't have Miki-sensei's collection there, but there are still Yamazaki sake from more than two hundred years ago." ”

"Yamazaki sake more than 200 years ago?" Miki-sensei instantly became interested, and he said with wide eyes, "Yamazaki 25 years? ”

"Yes." Mr. Xing smiled.

"Great!" Teacher Miki put down the wine glass with a "bang", "I have wanted to taste this wine for a long time, but I haven't been able to receive it, I didn't expect Mr. Xing to have it." ”

"Yes, there are three of them." Mr. Xing said with three fingers.

"So what are we waiting for?" Teacher Miki said chicly.

"Yes!" Mr. Xing really found a confidant, and he said happily, "Wine waits for no one." ”

"Then let's go now." Miki-sensei said impatiently.

"Yes, with these bottles, we can have a good taste of the difference between this Solvay and the whiskey of Sakura Province." Mr. Xing said.

"Good!"

"Miss Xiao Qing, Mr. Rey," said Mr. Xing, carefully tucking his pipe into his coat, "shall we go along?" How about letting me do my best as a landlord when I was tired for a long time? ”

"I'm not going." Xiao Qing said with a smile, "I have to wait for Meiguo to come back, and I still have something to tell her." ”

"What about Mr. Rey?" Mr. Xing looked at Rey and said.

"Ah......h

Rey was very entangled, on the one hand, he really wanted to go to the birdman market to see it, and on the other hand, he wanted to stay so that he could be in the same room with Xiao Qing.

He didn't know how to answer. Wouldn't it be too deliberate to stay?

Just when Rey was entangled, Miki-sensei made a choice for him.

"Let's go together." Miki-sensei waved her hand and said, "I'm just going to give you the next task." ”

“…… Good. ”

Now Rey doesn't have to worry about it, sometimes there is no choice but a relaxed body.

"Miss Xiao Qing," said Mr. Xing, "then shall we go first?" ”

"Okay." Xiao Qing smiled in return.

"It would be so ungentlemanly to leave your beautiful young lady behind." Mr. Xing actually had a very regretful expression, "If Miss Xiao Qing goes to the Birdman Market, it will definitely be the most beautiful scenery there." ”

"Passing the prize." Xiao Qing frowned slightly.

This action didn't escape Rey's eyes, and for some reason, Qing didn't seem to like others complimenting her on her appearance?

"Let's go."

Led by Miki-sensei, the three of them walked to the lower level where the small flying saucer was parked.

"I just want those guys in the market who claim to be heavenly maidens to see what real fairies are." On the way down to the parking floor, Mr. Xing muttered quietly.

As everyone left, the flying saucer, which had just been very lively, suddenly became deserted.

Xiao Qing picked up the half glass of wine that she hadn't finished drinking, walked silently to the sofa, and then took a sip gently. Although her eyes were as clear as autumn water, the autumn water was not joyful, as if there was a faint layer of autumn frost.

At this moment, a statue in the outer room slowly fell, and Mika's cute smiling face was revealed.

"Sister Qing'er?"

After seeing Xiao Qing sitting alone on the sofa, Meiguo jumped over.

"Ah, Meiguo," Xiao Qing put down her glass, "You're back so soon?" ”

"Hmm." Meiguo also sat down on the side, "I think Brother Ziqi must have a thousand words to say to his wife and children, so I will come back immediately after letting him go." ”

"Oh."

"Huh?" Meiguo's big eyes rolled, "Sister Qing'er doesn't seem to be very happy, huh?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Qing smiled, smiling brightly, the autumn frost in her eyes had long been nowhere to be found.

"Haha." Meiguo also smiled, "It's good if I'm not unhappy, but it's a pity that Meiguo is still too young, otherwise I can have a drink with Sister Qing'er." ”

"It's the same with juice." Xiao Qing said.

"Yes." Meiguo jumped up, "Then I'll have a drink with Sister Qing'er now, but I drink apple juice, and Sister Qing'er drinks Baizhou 12 years." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Qing shook the wine glass in his hand and said, "You already know that this is not Grafidi but Baizhou?" ”

"It seems that Sister Qing'er also knows." Mika said with a smile, "I said a long time ago that Sister Qing'er is the smartest, and she can't hide anything from Sister Qing'er's eyes. ”

"But," Xiao Qing took a sip of the wine glass again and said, "I only found out after tasting it, and Meiguo actually knew it with a sweep of her eyes, which is really incredible." ”

"Haha." Mika was embarrassed, she stretched out a small hand to cover her mouth, "That's because ......"

"Because," Xiao Qing took over, "the wine that is poured around is a beautiful fruit." I think most of Mr. Miki's collection is also Mika, right? ”

"Sure enough," Mika said with a smile, "Sister Qing'er knows everything. ”

"Why doesn't Mika want her dad to drink?" Xiao Qing asked with a smile.

"Because," Mika said with a roll of her eyes, "Dad's wine tasting is like a cow's drink, and I don't want my dad to become a man like Mr. Xing." ”

"It seems that Meiguo doesn't like Mr. Xing."

"Yes."

"So," Xiao Qing slowly stood up from the sofa, "that's why you helped Mr. Ziqi?" ”

"What, what?" Mika was stunned.

"I guess," Xiao Qing said slowly, "Meiguo must have had a lot of fun this time, right?" ”

“…… Well. Mika admitted, "It's very happy." ”

"Sure enough," Xiao Qing smiled, "Lingling is a beautiful fruit." ”

"Yes." Mika also smiled, "I'm Lingling." ”
