In all fairness, Qin Ke naturally likes Cai Yan, as for when did this liking germinate, probably when Cai Yan shouted "Brother Qin" and then jumped from the high wall?

He could still recall that day, when she fell from the sky like a fairy in a gorgeous long dress and delicate makeup on her face, and then sent her soft body into his arms, and the magnolia-like body fragrance still lingered on the tip of his nose.

But then again, although he can be sure that he likes Cai Yan, if he likes this kind of thing, if it is just one person who insists on it, it must be able to continue until he is old, if it becomes a matter of two people, how can he know that Cai Yan's mind will be in line with himself?

He couldn't be sure, because Cai Yan had always been such an eccentric girl, and he couldn't grasp her inner thoughts no matter what, let alone make some judgments. After easily showing his heart, what he ushered in may not be the ending he wants.

It's just that the words Zhang Mingqi said before leaving are still hovering in his mind: "If you don't take the initiative and beware of others ending up with others, then you can wait and regret it." ”

Of course, he was afraid of this, but how could he take the initiative?

Qin Ke looked at the wine in the wine bowl with complicated eyes, and then drank it with a gurgling finish, feeling the burning heat gradually burst out in his chest, but he still couldn't dispel the coolness in his heart.

The wine on the wine table has reached the last round, and the Taixuetang students at the table have been drunk by Cai Yan and a girl's family, and by the last round, everyone, whether they are drunk or not, have been convinced by this beautiful but bold girl.

And Cai Yan was still smiling, then left the table, took small steps, walked all the way behind Qin Ke, and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey." ”

Qin Ke jumped up suddenly, and then after seeing that face, he began to stammer: "Cai Yan...... Actually, I ...... Forehead...... You ......"

"What am I, what are you?" Cai Yan's eyes were so bright, like stars in the sky, and then he pulled him up and said, "Let's go, it's really boring, let's go to the yard for a walk, what about Lao Gao and Abu?"

"Old Gao ......" Qin Ke subconsciously glanced at the grass, but unexpectedly found that Gao Yishui, who was still sleeping there, had disappeared, and then suddenly realized that Gao Yishui was pretending to be drunk before, so he could only cry and laugh: "I don't know where I went." Abu hasn't seen anyone either, maybe it's still in Gao Changgong, right?"

"Oh. Cai Yan's face was dyed with a rosy glow from the smell of wine, but he was still so elated, "No matter, then the two of us will go, let's go, the plum blossoms in the garden should bloom, let's go and see!"

Qin Ke naturally couldn't resist her, and looking at her light walking, it was estimated that she was already a little drunk, and it was not appropriate to let her walk alone, so he stood up and followed her all the way to the garden.

Although it was a little cold in the garden at night, it was bright because of the light of the lanterns, and the eaves of the walls were covered with layers of snow.

Cai Yan chirped like a canary, but it didn't make people feel noisy, and the crisp laughter echoed in the garden, like playing a piece of music.

"They are still fighting with me, how do they know, I secretly exchanged a few jars of wine I drank for a few jars of water, even if they come again, they are not my opponents, hahahaha. Cai Yan grimaced and shared the secret on the wine table with Qin Ke, causing the latter to shake his head for a while, and then began to walk towards the front again.

The plum blossoms did bloom, blooming red, like a flame spreading on the branches, even on such a cold and snowy night, they were so tenacious that they seemed to be pregnant with the sun in their bodies, and they actually brought back a lot of the lost spring color in this garden.

It's just that Qin Ke's eyes have been staying on Cai Yan's body, staring, and carefully covering up so that she won't find out.

He knew that there were only two of them in the garden, and that the people were either dressed at the banquet or had already gone back to their rooms to rest, and that this was the quietest place at the moment, and that there would not even be a third person here.

If he really wants to show his heart, such a quiet garden, under such beautiful plum blossoms, is undoubtedly the best choice, maybe it is really the heavens who can't stand his hesitation, and is secretly urging him?

Go ahead. Say it. Just say it. It's more comfortable to say it than to hide it like this.

Qin Ke took a deep breath and cheered himself up in his heart, hoping to bring out all his courage, as if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to support his heavy lips and say the words that kept rolling in his stomach.

"That...... Cai Yan ......" Qin Ke finally spoke, and his voice was a little difficult.

"Wait, I'll change something for you. Cai Yan interrupted her, laughed and picked up a sturdy dead branch on the side, and then dug vigorously under the plum tree.

Qin Ke didn't understand what she was doing, but seeing her serious appearance, he had no choice but to find a dead branch and dig on the plum tree with her, and after a while, he felt that his dead branch had touched something hard.

"There you go. Cai Yan's eyes lit up, and he slashed the clods of soil again, then bent down and picked up the things in the soil vigorously, which turned out to be a jar of sealed wine, and judging from the quaint lines drawn on the wine jar, it was definitely not just an ordinary product.

"This is what I heard when a few old people were talking in private. Cai Yan happily handed the wine to Qin Ke's hand, and bent down to take out a jar, "This is really good wine, it is said that it has been hidden for a hundred years, and the brewing materials alone are very rare." ”

It turns out that you want to come to see plum blossoms, not because plum blossoms are beautiful, but because you covet the century-old good wine buried under the plum blossom tree?

Qin Ke looked at the wine in his hand with a smile and said, "This is not good, people have hidden the wine for so many years, we secretly took it out and drank it, and when they wanted to drink it in the future, they found that we had drunk it all, wouldn't it be sad to die." ”

"What are you afraid of, anyway, they only dare to live their mouths, and they are so stingy that they are estimated to be reluctant to drink for the rest of their lives. Good wine, you always have to drink it to be worthy of it, otherwise it will be so sad that it is buried in the ground every day. Cai Yan said confidently: "And you are still the nominal uncle of the public loser, what is it to drink a few jars of wine, anyway, there are many public losers who are good wine, not bad for these jars." ”

Qin Ke smiled bitterly, and didn't know how to refute her "crooked reasoning", but when Cai Yan really broke the mud seal, he could still smell the intoxicating aroma of wine, so with a little guilt, he also drank with Cai Yan.

It is indeed a good wine that has been treasured for a long time, although it has a mellow taste, it is not hot, and when it is in the mouth, it seems to burst out of the fruity aroma, and then turns into a warm current, rippling all over the body.

Even, Qin Ke felt that the qi and blood in his body were all attracted by this wine energy, and slowly began to operate.

I drank it at home when I was a child, but my father also offered it like a baby, and he was only willing to take it out when I or my two brothers were cold. Cai Yan sat on a stone and giggled.

"It's really delicious. Qin Ke nodded, "It's much better than the banquet, I thought those wines were already very good." ”

"Ten years of ageing, of course, is good in the eyes of ordinary people. Cai Yan also took a sip and tasted it carefully in his mouth, "But this is different, it is basically passed down from several generations, even if you have money, you won't brew too much." ”

"My guilt is even greater when you say that. Qin Kebian flattened his mouth, but he was still reluctant to let go of the wine jar.

The two of them drank wine while talking, and soon the small wine jar in their hands bottomed out, and the seemingly weak but strong wine that had been brewed for a hundred years rushed straight to Qin Ke's brain, as if a delicate flower had bloomed in his brain, making a raging flame burn in his chest......
