Chapter 189 Who is prettier, me or Zhang Jingyi?
"Hey, look, what number is this?"

Lin Li made a "yeah" gesture to Zhou Ye.

"Second brother, I'm sober, don't underestimate me."

Zhou Ye rolled his eyes at Lin Li in annoyance, feeling that he was being looked down upon.

"Okay, a little more then."

Seeing that she was still conscious, Lin Li thought that she would not die so soon, so he compromised again.

"Let's try this bamboo shoot, it's not bad, just right for taking the edge off the alcohol."

Lin Li picked up a piece of bamboo shoots for Zhou Ye, signaling her to eat more vegetables.

"Well, thank you."

Zhou Ye happily bent the two crescents, picked it up and put it into his mouth.

"It feels similar to the taste in the mountain city, with a stronger taste, but not as spicy."

After tasting all the dishes, Zhou Ye made his comments.

Seeing that she started to secretly pour herself wine again, Lin Li smiled but did not expose her.

After recalling the memories in his mind, Lin Li began to explain science to Zhou Ye.

“Hui cuisine is also known as the ‘Hui Bang style’ and is one of the eight famous cuisines in China.”

“It is composed of local dishes from three regions: along the Yangtze River, along the Huai River, and Huizhou.”

"Its characteristics are simple ingredients, careful cooking, heavy oil and color, mellow taste, and keeping the original flavor. Anhui cuisine is famous for cooking wild and seafood."

"As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, 'horse-hoof turtle in the sand and ox-tail fox in the snow' were famous dishes at that time."

“Famous dishes include “Fuliji roast chicken”, “Ham stewed turtle”, “Pickled fresh mandarin fish”, “Ham stewed bamboo shoots”, “Snow winter roasted pheasant”, “Red stewed civet cat”, “Fat king fish in milk”, “Maofeng smoked shad”, etc.”

"In terms of flavor characteristics, Anhui cuisine is composed of local dishes from the above three regions, a Chinese local flavor that has both individuality and commonality."

"The overall style is elegant and simple, original, tender, fragrant and fresh, with appropriate thickness and lightness."

"It features a strict selection of ingredients, unique cooking techniques, attention to food supplements, emphasis on original flavors, a variety of dishes, and micro-cooking techniques suitable for both the north and the south."

"The three factors of knife skills, heat control and operation techniques complement each other."

"Wow~ Ali, you know so much!"

Listening to Lin Li's narration, Zhou Ye stared at him with sparkling eyes and clapped his two tender little white hands gently.

"I don't know if what I said is good or not, but I think you are not very good."

"How much did you drink just now?"

Lin Li looked at Zhou Ye's flushed face and found that her eyes were a little blurry.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye held his left hand with his right hand and began to count his fingers. After mumbling to himself for a while, he raised his little face and stretched out his left hand with a smile.

"Four cups! Hehe~"

Lin Li rolled his eyes at her helplessly and took the wine bottle and the wine dispenser in front of him.

"You are not allowed to drink anymore. The rest is mine."

Lin Li gave a stern warning to the curious little girl with a serious look on his face.

"I know. Why is it so fierce?"

Zhou Ye grumbled in dissatisfaction, then picked up his chopsticks and started attacking the food on the table.

But the chopsticks could never pick up the food, which made Lin Li helplessly hold his forehead with his hands.

There was no other way, so Lin Li had to help her pick up the dishes and put them in the bowl, and then he served her a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of him.

"Here, drink some soup. It will sober you up and replenish your body."

Lin Li gave instructions to the tipsy girl in front of him.

"Tell me, why do you always ask me to drink soup? I noticed when we were ordering just now that your expression was not right!"

Zhou Ye suddenly slammed the table and stared at Lin Li fiercely.

"What else can I say? Chicken soup is nutritious and good for your health. You're so thin, I'm afraid a strong wind will blow you away."

Lin Li looked at Zhou Ye sincerely with an innocent look on his face.

"is it?"

Zhou Ye had a skeptical look on his face.

"Of course, you have to believe me."

Lin Li gave repeated assurances.

"Okay, then I'll drink the soup, hehe."

After getting the answer, Zhou Ye's facial expression quickly softened and turned into a cute look.

"Well, drink it, it has many benefits."

Looking at Zhou Ye who had already picked up the soup bowl and was slurping the soup, Lin Li glanced at her barren land and silently prayed in his heart that it hoped it would be of some use.

This thing is not good enough at first, but it should be able to be compensated with some effort, right?

Suddenly I thought of the waves that were thumping up and down yesterday, and compared them with what was happening in front of me...

Well, as long as the face is pretty.

After all, sometimes when God opens a window for you, he may close another window.

"I've finished my drink!"

After finishing the bowl of soup in one breath, Zhou Ye grinned, held up the bottom of the bowl and began to ask for praise.

"Well, we are awesome too."

Lin Li looked at the half-drunk girl in front of him tenderly, and praised her in a gentle tone.

"Hehe~"

Zhou Ye narrowed his eyes and smiled from ear to ear.

"Here, have some fish. There are no fish bones here."

Lin Li began to take care of this naive girl and considerately removed the few fish bones she had.

Zhou Ye was very obedient and shoved the fish meat that Lin Li picked up into his mouth. It seemed that what he said before about being hungry was not a lie.

After that, Lin Li drank all the remaining wine by himself, while Zhou Ye turned into a eating machine and ate nearly half of the dishes on the table together with Lin Li.

For two people, this combat power is quite good.

"Mmm, I'm so full~"

Zhou Ye, who was a little full, held his belly and rubbed it gently, sighing with satisfaction.

Lin Li stared at Zhou Ye's belly with some suspicion. He wondered how he could eat so much with such a slim body.

How come so much stuff has gone into the stomach, but we can’t see it at all?

"What are you looking at? Do you dislike me?"

Zhou Ye caught Lin Li's eye and stared at him dangerously.

"No, no, I'm just curious. You ate so much, how come it's not noticeable? And if you usually eat this much, how come you're still so thin?"

Lin Li raised doubts.

"Is it not okay for me to be naturally beautiful? Stay out of my own way!"

The drunk Zhou Ye was like a sensitive little wild cat, baring his teeth and claws at Lin Li.

"Okay, okay, okay. My beautiful girl, are you full?" Lin Li coaxed the beautiful girl in front of him with a smile, his tone extremely gentle.

"This is good enough. I feel a little full. I won't eat it anymore."

Zhou Ye glanced at Lin Li arrogantly, and then said that he was no longer able to fight.

"Okay, let's go. It's not even nine o'clock yet. I'll take you back to school."

"Well, let's go."

Zhou Ye nodded repeatedly, then stood up shakily and walked out. Seeing her staggering appearance, Lin Li quickly stepped forward and supported her shoulders.

"No need to help me, I can walk well, I'm not drunk~"

A drunken pretty girl's declaration of independence.

"Yes, you are not drunk, I am drunk, so can you help me up?"

Lin Li put on a mask and put his arm around Zhou Ye's shoulders, comforting her in a gentle tone.

"Okay, I'll help you then."

The drunken beauty leaned into Lin Li's arms, her two small hands tightly grasping his waist and abdomen.

"Let's go then, pretty girl."

"Let's go~," a beautiful girl said in a soft voice.

Lin Li looked at Zhou Ye's little face in his arms, which was already covered with pink, and knew that she was completely drunk. He tightened his arms around her shoulders and slowly walked out of the box with her.

After getting in the car, Zhou Ye lay limply in Lin Li's arms as if he had no bones, his rosy little face looking particularly bright.

"Brother Bao, go to Beijing Film Academy."

"Okay Mr. Lin."

After giving the order, the car started and Lin Li turned his gaze back to the girl in his arms.

"Hey, what's wrong? If you feel uncomfortable or want to vomit, tell me."

Lin Li stroked Zhou Ye's long hair and asked softly.

"Yeah, I feel a little dizzy. I feel like I'm spinning when I open my eyes, but it's fine when I close them."

Zhou Ye pressed his little face tightly against Lin Li's chest and responded softly.

"Well, then don't open your eyes, or just squint for a while."

Lin Li continued to comfort the girl in his arms.

"Ali."

"Ok?"

"I want to do something."

"what?"

"Can I feel your abs?"

"Um???"

Lin Li lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in his arms, expressing his doubts about her bold statement.

"Just, I saw it on the trending search last time, and I was a little curious."

Zhou Ye opened his somewhat blurry eyes, and his already rosy cheeks seemed to be even redder than before.

"Hey, are you really drunk or just pretending to be drunk?"

Lin Li looked at the small face in his arms with a half-smile, feeling a little doubtful.

"Can't I just use the alcohol to do my best?"

The girl's clear and bright eyes were filled with a hint of anger.

"Of course, what the pretty girl said is right."

Lin Li smiled and agreed readily.

After getting permission, Zhou Ye's blurry eyes lit up. She raised her body with some effort, then slowly put her hand into the hem of Lin Li's short-sleeved shirt.

After touching the hard bumps, she withdrew her hands as if she had been electrocuted.

The courage that I had finally mustered because of alcohol disappeared as soon as I came into contact with it.

"Zhou Ye, what are you doing! This is so embarrassing!"

The beautiful girl's heart was roaring wildly.

"Why, you don't want to touch me anymore?"

Lin Li leisurely admired the changes in Zhou Ye's expression, and his clear voice sounded neither hurriedly nor slowly.

"That's enough. It seems to be just like that. It's hard and prickly."

Zhou Ye had no place to put his hands, and his head was buried lower and lower.

"I got a bad review from a beautiful girl. I guess I need to work harder."

Lin Li continued to tease her.

"Well, come on."

Zhou Ye pinched the corner of his clothes and didn't dare to look up.

After the impulse, it seemed as if I had used up all my courage, leaving only a heart full of shyness.

Seeing this, Lin Li stopped teasing her, straightened his wrinkled clothes, sat up straight and looked straight ahead, allowing her to calm herself down.

"Ali, I think you are very special to Zhang Jingyi."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Ye suddenly said something.

"Why do you say that?"

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Zhou Ye beside him.

“It’s just a feeling.”

Zhou Ye bit the corner of his lip lightly, staring at Lin Li intently.

"If that's the case, then am I not special to you too?"

Lin Li narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and stroked her flushed cheek, his fingers gently stroking her face, his voice low and deep.

"Then tell me, who is prettier, me or Zhang Jingyi?"

Zhou Ye was somewhat attracted by Lin Li's gentle behavior, and under the influence of alcohol, he asked the questions that he had been holding back for a long time.

"Of course ours is better looking."

Lin Li answered without hesitation, as if he had already prepared the answer.

"really?"

"of course."

"I knew it, hehe~"

The girl's cheeks were flushed with satisfaction.

"I'll say the same thing next time Jingyi asks me. It's fair and just."

Lin Li added silently in his heart.
