"Oh, poor man!" Mr. Liu said he pretended to be moved to sympathize with the young man. "Well, you see, he didn't expect Jack to come back so suddenly. You say, if he suddenly has some accidents, or happens to be empathetic! It's really uncomfortable for this to happen all of a sudden. ”

"Well, really, but anyway," Carter said as he drank, and by this time the alcohol had begun to kick in, "Anyway, Jack is back this time with good luck, and Xiang Zhong is not the only one who has been hit, right?" ”

"Oh, you're right, but if I want me to say he's going to be out of luck!"

"Well, don't mention it," Carter said, pouring a glass of wine for Xiang Zhong and a glass for himself, which he didn't know if it was the eighth or the ninth, and Liu Han always just took a sip of the glass. It doesn't matter, just wait and see how he marries that lovely girl,—— he's here to do this. ”

Liu Han stared at the young man with sharp eyes at this time, and every word of Carter's words melted into the young man's heart.

"When did they get married?" He asked.

"Still undecided!" Xiang Zhong said in a low voice.

"Soon, though," Carter said, "that's for sure." Uh, right. Liu Han? ”

Liu Han was taken aback by this unexpected attack, and he turned to Carter and examined the expression on his face to see if he did it on purpose, but he saw envy and jealousy in that drunken face. Because, Liu Han's next words confirmed his guess: "Don't be sour, no one can take your turn." ”

"Come on," he said, filling three glasses, "let's make a toast to Jack, to the beautiful girl!" ”

Carter's trembling hand brought the cup to his lips and gulped it in. Xiang Zhong dropped the wine glass on the ground, and the glass shattered.

"Uh, uh, uh," Liu Han slurred, giving the impression that alcohol was dominating his brain, "what's that on the hill over there, over there?" Look, Xiang Zhong! Your eyes are better than mine.

I don't see it clearly at all. You know wine is a liar, but dare I say it's a couple of lovers walking there arm in arm. God! They didn't know we could see them, and now they're hugging, and I'm sure they've kissed them! ”

Of course, Liu Han would not let go of the opportunity to make Xiang Zhong even more painful.

"Do you know them, Mr. Xiang Zhong?" He said.

"Yes," replied the young man in a low voice. "That's Mr. Jack and Miss Zhao Ruyin!"

"Ahh Look there! Carter said, "Why don't you recognize them?" Hey, Jack, hey, beautiful girl! Come here and tell us when you will have your wedding, because Mr. Xiang Zhong just won't tell us! ”

"Don't you shout, okay?" Liu Han deliberately stopped Carter, but the latter had poked his head out of the pergola with the reluctance of a drunkard to continue. "Be fair, let the lovers go and fall in love quietly. Look at our Mr. Xiang Zhong, learn from others, this is called reasonable! ”

Xiang Zhong had been teased by Liu Han and couldn't bear it anymore, and like an enraged bull, he suddenly stood up, as if he was holding back enough strength to rush towards his enemy.

At this moment, Ruyin gracefully lifted her lovely face with a smile, flashing her bright eyes.

As soon as he saw these eyes, Xiang Zhong remembered the threat she had made, and fell back into his seat heavily.

Liu Han looked at these two people, look at this and look at that, one is going crazy with alcohol, and the other is completely conquered by love.

"I can't make a name for myself with this fool," he said silently, "and it disturbs me that I'm caught between a drunkard and a coward." Looks like I'm going to have to do something to interfere with. ”

"Hey!" Carter continued to shout, propping his fists against the table and lifting half of his body - "Hey, Jack! Did you not see your friends, or did you not want to talk to them? ”

"No, my dear uncle," replied Jack, "I am not proud, but I am too happy, and it is easier to be happy than to be blinded by pride." ”

"Ah, that's a way of saying it!" Carter said. "Oh, hello, Lady Jack!"

Ruyin nodded solemnly and said, "Now please don't call me that, in my hometown, people say that calling an unmarried girl by her fiancé's name will bring her bad luck." So, please call me Ruyin. ”

"We have to forgive this kind Mr. Carter," said Jack, "for he accidentally said the wrong thing." ”

"Well, then, let's get married, Mr. Jack." Liu Han greeted the young couple and said.

"I also want to do it as soon as possible, uncle. Let's go to my father's today and get everything ready, and tomorrow we'll have a wedding at Jones Manor here. I hope that my good friends will come, that is, please come too, Uncle Liu Han, and you, Uncle Carter. ”

"What about Xiang Zhong," Carter laughed a few times after he finished speaking, "Do you want him to go too?" ”

"My wife's brother is also my brother," said Jack, "and it would be a pity for Ruin and I if he wasn't there on such occasions." ”

Xiang Zhong opened his mouth to speak, but the words stopped when he reached his mouth.

"Prepare today, have a wedding tomorrow! You're in a hurry! The Bridegroom's Officer"

"Uncle," said Jack with a smile, "I also want to say to you as Ruyin said to Carter, please don't put a title on my head that doesn't belong to me yet, it might make me unlucky." ”

"I'm sorry," Liu Han replied, "I just said you were in a hurry. We still have a lot of time. ”

"People are always anxious to be happy, uncle, because we have been separated for too long, and I can't believe that there is such a thing as good luck in the world. The reason why I'm in such a hurry is not entirely for myself, I still have to go to Eggshell. ”

"Huh?" Liu Han was shocked and asked, "Really! You're your first time there, right? ”

Jack said, "Yes. ”

Liu Han asked, "Is there something wrong with you going there?"

Jack said, "It's not my personal matter, it's my aunt and grandmother's send." You know what I'm referring to, uncle, it's my obligation, and it's only a long time before I go. ”

"Yes, yes, I know," Liu Han said, secretly saying in his heart: "When I went to Eggshell Star, it must have something to do with that incident." Well! I have an idea! A good idea. ”

Liu Han then said sourly: "This nephew of ours is a busy man now, unlike us, who is useless. So he turned to Jack, who was about to leave, and shouted, "Have a good trip!" ”

"Thank you." Jack nodded in a friendly manner.

So the lovers went on their way calmly and joyfully.

Liu Han's eyes followed Jack and Zhao Ruyin until they disappeared around a corner of the street before turning his head back to observe Xiang Zhong carefully.

Xiang Zhong had collapsed in his chair, his face pale and trembling, and Carter was drinking while singing vaguely.

"My poor nephew," Liu Han said to Xiang Zhong, "this marriage does not make everyone happy. ”

"It's disappointing." Xiang Zhong said.

"So, do you love Miss Ruyin too?"

"I adore her!"

"Have you been in love with her for a long time?"

"From the first time I met her, I fell in love with her."

"In that case, why don't you think of a remedy. Hell, I didn't think you'd do that. ”

"What do you tell me to do," Xiang Zhong said.

"How do I know? Is it my business? It's not that I'm in love with that chick... It's you. ’”

"I know what to do."

"What?"

"I'm going to kill the man, and the woman used to tell me that if something happened to her fiancé, she would kill herself."

"Come on, people say that, but they don't really do it."

"You don't know Ruyin, she can say it and do it."

"Fool!" Liu Han said to himself, "As long as Jack can't be a messenger, what does it matter to me if she commits suicide or not?" ”

"If Ruyin dies," Xiang Zhong said in a resolute tone, "then I would rather die." ”

"That's what I call love!" Carter said, his words slurred more than he had just been, "It's love!" Otherwise, I don't know what love really is. ”

"Hey," Liu Han said, "I think you're an honest man, you deserve my bad luck, and I'm willing to help you, but—"

"Hey," Carter said, "but what?" ”

"My dear friend," replied Liu Han, "you are almost drunk now, and if you drink all this bottle, you will be drunk, go and drink, and don't bother us with our affairs, because you have to use your brains to judge calmly." ”

"I drink!" Carter said, "Well, that's good! This bottle is not as big as my palm, I can drink four bottles! Carter yelled as he banged on the table with his glass.

"Uncle Shi, what did you just say, 。。。。。。?" Xiang Zhong waited for this paragraph to interject and asked anxiously as soon as he finished speaking.

Liu Han hurriedly said: "What did I just say?" I can't remember. Carter, the drunkard, interrupted my train of thought. ”

"I drink as much as I like, I drink when I want, I'm not afraid of drinking gaffes, unlike some people. Those who are afraid of wine do not dare to drink it, because they have a ghost in their hearts, and they are afraid that they will drink wine and speak out what is in their hearts. At this time, Carter hummed two of the most popular poems on the wine table: "Wine is the essence of food, and the more you drink it, the younger you become." ”

"Uncle Shi" Xiang Zhong was like a drowning man, and suddenly grabbed a straw, this straw was Liu Han, he grabbed Liu Han's hand tightly, and said; "You just said that you were willing to help me, that's ......"

"By the way, I'll do you a favor, as long as Jack can't marry the person you love, what's the matter, it's not difficult to do, but you don't have to put Jack to death."

"Only death can separate them, no, maybe death can't separate them, they will be buried together." Xiang Zhong said dejectedly.

"Look at the way you speak, like a fool, friend," Carter said, "who is this?" He is Liu Han, a scheming, cunning and treacherous Zhiduoxing, he can prove you wrong in no time, prove it to him, Liu Han. Before Liu Han could speak, Carter shook his head, forcibly opened his staring eyes, and continued, "I'll answer for you." Jack doesn't have to die, if... He's dead, and he's too ... It's a pity, Jack is a good guy. I love Jack. Jack, I wish you good health! ”

Xiang Zhong stood up impatiently.

"Let him speak." Liu Han held down the young man and said, "Although he is drunk, what he said is not unreasonable." Separation and death would have the same result, and if there was a wall between Jack and Miss Zhao, they would have to break up, and the result would be the same as in the grave where he was laid. ”

"Yes, but the people in prison will come out," Carter still tried to listen to the conversation with what sanity he still had, "and once he comes out, someone like Jack, and someone to back him up, will take revenge—"

"What's so scary about that?" Xiang Zhong said softly.

"Oh, I know," Carter said, "why put Jack in jail?" He did not rob, or kill, or harm anyone. ”

"Shut up." Liu Han said loudly.

"I won't shut up!" Carter continued, "What is the relationship to put Jack in jail. I love Jack. Jack, I wish you good health! As he spoke, he poured another glass of wine into his mouth.

Liu Han saw that Carter's expression was already in a trance, and he knew that the alcohol had attacked, so he turned around and said to Xiang Zhong: "Hey, you know that no one has to let him die." ”

"Of course, if, as you just said, you have a way to get Jack arrested, then of course there is no need for that. Do you have a solution? ”

"Poor Xiang Zhong, do you take Carter's drinking talk seriously? I didn't say put him in a cell, you know, putting a person in a cell is not something I can call the bills. I mean, just look for it, there's always a way. ”

"I don't know if this has anything to do with you," Xiang Zhong said, holding his arm, "but I know that you must have some kind of personal grudge against Jack, because a person with a grudge will never misread someone else's emotions." ”

"Me? Do I have a motive to hate Jack? Liu Han was taken aback, "No! I swear! I see that you are unhappy, and I care about you, that's all, and since you think I have any selfish motives, then goodbye, my dear friend, find a way to solve this matter yourself. Liu Han stood up and pretended to leave.

"No, no," Xiang Zhong took his hand and said, "Please don't go!" Whether you hate Jack or not has nothing to do with me. I hate him! I can openly declare that I hate him. As long as you can find a way, I'll do it。。。。。。 As long as she doesn't kill him, because Ruyin said that if he dies, she will also commit suicide. ”

Carter had already put his head on the table, but now he suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiang Zhong with his dull eyes and said, "Kill Dontes!" Who said to kill Dantès? I don't want him to die, I don't want to! He's my friend, and I don't allow anyone to kill Jack, I don't! ”

"Who said you were going to kill him, you fool!" Liu Han replied. "We're just kidding, let's have a glass of wine and wish him good health," he said, pouring Carter a full drink.

"Yes, yes, cheers to Jack's health!" Carter drank the wine and said, "I wish him good health and good health!" Hi! ”

"But what about the way,—— the way?" Xiang Zhong said.

"Can't you remember anything about it? I just talked about a wall. ”

"Lock him in!? You don't mean ... ”

"Alas," Liu Han said, "People who are carried away by love often have their IQs cleared." I didn't believe that, but now I believe it completely. ”

"So do you have an idea?" Xiang Zhong said impatiently.

"So" Liu Han looked at Carter lying on the table, and finally, dipped his fingers in the wine in the cup, and wrote on the table: "Break the back road".

"Broken back?" Xiang Zhong muttered, not understanding the meaning of Liu Han's three words.

"Yes," Liu Han nodded to express his meaning.

"Broken back road? Whose back road are you going to cut off? Earthling, what are you muttering there all for? I didn't leave you here to hear you talk to yourself. A voice interrupted Xiang Zhong's memories, and when he looked around, he realized that it was the Tianhe No. 2 who was talking to him.

"Don't talk nonsense." Xiang Zhong retorted, "You obviously see that I am sad that my uncle was arrested by you for no reason. ”

"No, you don't!" Tianhe-2 replied, "I see that you are planning a terrible conspiracy, earthling, you can't fool me, I scanned your expression, and all the details of your expression show that you are thinking badly." ”

"Shut up! You don't see anything at all. Xiang Zhong stopped Tianhe-2's self-righteous speech, and found that the dean hadn't come back yet, so he asked, "Where did the old professor go?" ”

"How do I know?" Tianhe replied, "Probably take care of his own business, don't worry where he is, let's go and see if there is anything we can do to help your poor friend." ”

Xiang Zhong said, "Will you help me?" ”

"Well, that's right!" Tianhe-2 continued what he had just said, "I'm just more interested in you people who have degraded hair all over their bodies. I don't understand why you earthlings have evolved to the point where you don't even have hair. ”

"Goodbye, goodbye, my dear!" Now dancing his arms impatiently, he didn't want to talk endlessly about evolution with a cold machine. What he has to do now is to quickly find the old professor and discuss how to rescue Liu Han.

"What! What do you call me? My dear? Tianhe-2 let out a pleasant laugh and said, "Go, go and come back quickly!" I'll open the door for you. My dear, this title is so good, I will be called 'dear' in the future. ”
