"No one has stipulated that red wine can only be drunk with Western food.
This red wine can beautify the skin and soften blood vessels. Drinking a little before going to bed every night is even better," Xia Li said.
"You know quite a lot. Drink a little more before sleeping later."
"I can't drink any more. I feel this red wine has a bit of a high alcohol content, and my whole body feels warm now."
"It's because the heating here is good. Eat quickly. Once we go out, it won't be so hot."
Guo Xuyang, with great speed, finished the lamb intestines, liver, and lungs on his plate, scooping them up with flatbread.
"Boss, weigh another five catties of lamb to take away. This meat is indeed delicious. Season two catties, and the other three without seasoning, pack them separately.
I'd like some lamb soup in a bag. Please calculate my bill."
"Certainly. Seventeen catties of lamb, one hundred per catty, that's seventeen hundred; four dishes, one hundred and sixty. The rice is free. The total is one thousand eight hundred and sixty."
"Do you prefer card or mobile payment?"
"Either is fine."
Guo Xuyang took out his phone and scanned the QR code.
"It's gone through, boss."
"Alright, please take your time walking."
"Why did you buy so much again?" Yu'er asked, seeing Guo Xuyang and the other two carrying several bags.
"Eat those you have with you. We'll heat these up again tonight. Let's go, take us upstairs first," Guo Xuyang said, pointing forward.
"Didn't you eat enough? Why so much again?"
"We ate enough. Isn't this to prevent us from being hungry at night?"
"Don't overeat," Yu'er muttered before lighting the fire.
As soon as Guo Xuyang entered the villa, he eagerly handed the lamb to Xiao Yun, then carried Xia Li down.
Yu'er snorted and drove away without getting out of the car.
Xiao Yun knew Guo Xuyang would come looking for her, so she first took the lamb to the kitchen, then went upstairs to take a shower, sprayed some perfume, and then got into bed.
Meanwhile, Xia Li had already started singing.
Another night of endless spring scenery.
The next morning, when Yu'er and Ye Zi arrived at the villa, Xiao Yun and Xia Li were already directing the store employees to load the goods.
It took over an hour to load hundreds of rough stones and six ornaments.
Xia Li carried the two sets of glass-type imperial green jade necklaces and bracelets in a briefcase and handed them to Xiao Yun.
Guo Xuyang had not woken up. He had been busy until midnight, thoroughly watering two barren plots of farmland before falling into a deep sleep.
The saying is truly true: there are only tired bulls, no fields that cannot be plowed.
Xiao Yun and Xia Li, who had been plowed all night, were particularly energetic in the morning and worked with great vigor.
Guo Xuyang, however, was listless and dispirited, still fast asleep.
"Where's Yangzi?" Ye Zi asked, seeing the two of them busy but not Guo Xuyang.
"He's still sleeping in the room. He was too tired yesterday," Xiao Yun said.
Ye Zi looked at the radiant Xiao Yun and pouted, "Did they drain you dry?"
"No. Still have a breath left. How about you try tonight?"
"Forget it. If I really drain his life, those few people will come looking for a fight with me. What time did you finish?"
"I don't remember what time it was. It was almost eleven when he came to my place."
"What time did it start?"
"It was past eight yesterday evening after we finished dinner."
"Did you take medicine?"
"No. Drank a bottle of red wine."
"No wonder he can't get up! Why didn't he die of exhaustion?" Ye Zi said resentfully.
"It's almost time. Let's see if he's up later. We agreed to leave at eight today," Xiao Yun said, checking the time.
"There's still half an hour. I'll go up and check. Yu'er, are you coming up too?" Ye Zi turned and asked.
"I'm not going. You go up," Yu'er certainly didn't intend to go up.
She knew perfectly well how Guo Xuyang had tossed and turned her last night.
He returned at over eight, and as soon as he got out of the car, he carried Xia Li to the room. The two of them lasted for nearly three hours.
Perhaps it was the red wine, but Xia Li was also exceptionally excited. They actually fought to a draw, withstanding Guo Xuyang's continuous assaults. In the end, unable to bear the torment, she convulsed and fainted.
Guo Xuyang, fueled by the red wine, went to Xiao Yun's place again, but surrendered quickly.
Xiao Yun was not satisfied and, not having gotten her fill, incited Guo Xuyang to bring out another bottle of red wine. The two of them finished the entire bottle.
Later, the battle raged on until past three in the morning, when Guo Xuyang finally roared in release, while Xiao Yun had already gone limp like noodles on the bed, motionless.
Before six in the morning, the two women got up with bright spirits. Although their legs were a bit sore and weak, they were full of energy and felt refreshed.
Xia Li was in the safe downstairs counting the goods for shipment, while Xiao Yun was in the escort vehicle checking the received goods.
By the time Ye Zi and Yu'er arrived, most of the rough stones had already been loaded.
When Ye Zi went upstairs, she found Guo Xuyang still fast asleep. She reached out and gently fondled his little Yangzi.
No matter how she fiddled with it, there was no response. Annoyed, she pinched his nose with her fingers, forcing him awake.
"Don't bother me, let me sleep a little longer," Guo Xuyang said, pushing her hand away.
"Didn't we agree to leave at eight? It's almost seven fifty. Are you going or not?"
Upon hearing it was almost fifty, Guo Xuyang opened one eye to check the time.
"Let's postpone by ten minutes, we'll leave at eight ten. I'll sleep for another ten minutes."
"Hurry up and get dressed. What's the use of postponing by ten minutes? Why don't you get dressed and sleep in the car?"
"I only slept for a short while before you woke me up."
"Then why didn't you say so when you were going wild yesterday? Hurry up and get dressed, so many people are waiting for you.
Knowing you had to go out today, why were you so wild?"
"Alright, alright, you're so nagging. I'll get up, won't I? You're like an old wet nurse, always chattering."
Guo Xuyang got up impatiently.
He went into the bathroom to take care of his personal hygiene and came out after washing up.
"Where are my clothes?" He had taken off his clothes in Xia Li's room yesterday, and there were no clothes here.
"Don't you know where you took them off? How would I know where your clothes went?"
Guo Xuyang slapped his forehead, then remembered he had left his clothes in Xia Li's room last night.
So, he put on a bathrobe, returned to his room, found some change of clothes, put on a thick down jacket, and went downstairs.
"Are they all loaded?"
"They're loaded. We were just waiting for you to set off," Xiao Yun said.
"Go and heat up yesterday's lamb soup. Eat before we go. I'm starving."
"Yu'er, take this. Don't leave the escort vehicle later," Xiao Yun handed the briefcase to Yu'er and returned to the eastern villa.
"A lazy donkey is always so troublesome," Ye Zi muttered.
"Did you eat?" Guo Xuyang asked, glancing at her.
"I've eaten. Yu'er and I ate on the way. Who knew you guys hadn't eaten yet."
