The terrible consequences of drunkenness
Gu Bei Chen saw through her thoughts at a glance and gave a concise answer: "Alright."
"It's better not to, or I'll be laughed to death." Performing boxing at the New Year's party, what's the point of that?
"You'll only be laughed at if you keep hesitating and refusing to go on stage!" Gu Bei Chen stood up, giving her way, his tone firm yet gentle, "Go ahead, I believe in you."
Xiao Xiao also stood up with her father, clapping her hands loudly, "Come on, Mommy!"
Fine, if you want to fight, then let's fight! Anyway, it's your face that will be lost in the end!
Ye Shanshan stepped onto the stage with big strides, and the applause that had just subsided became enthusiastic once again.
Before the performance began, the host started an interview, "Excuse me, madam, where did you get this outfit from?"
Ye Shanshan's face turned awkward, "Uh...that was prepared by your boss for me."
"I really didn't expect that even this would be controlled by Old Gu." The host's guts are quite big, with Old Gu sitting in the front row, he actually dared to ask such a sharp question.
"What's wrong, you have an opinion?" As expected, this sharp remark quickly triggered a fierce counterattack from Gu Bei Chen.
The whole scene suddenly burst into a fit of laughter, the host reacted extremely quickly, immediately putting on a flattering expression, "I dare not, great leader is wise and intelligent, should be in control of everything."
This kid's eloquence is really impressive, no wonder he was elected as the host.
Ye Shanshan was struck by the host's flattering words and quickly changed the subject, "May I start performing now?"
Don't mess with the boss, it's no joke. The topic was skillfully diverted, just as the host had intended. "Of course, ma'am, what would you like to perform? Do you need musical accompaniment?"
"Spring Chant Boxing."
As soon as the lady spoke, the whole room fell silent.
"Can you play some fast-paced music?" Anyway, a large area had already been blown down, and Ye Shanshan's mood became calm instead.
"OK." The host who was closest to the lady received the biggest 'shock', and this "OK" was his instinctive reaction.
About five seconds later, the rhythmic and dynamic music slowly started playing. After making a gesture of holding fists and bowing, Ye Shanshan began her stunning performance.
This is not an assistive performance, but a professional-level martial arts teaching. Every move and style is accurate and powerful, and it's also perfectly matched with the rhythm of the music, completely combining strength and beauty.
Only half of the boxing match had been fought, and someone stood up to applaud and cheer, and the originally quiet atmosphere became lively again.
When Ye Shuangshuang finished her last move, the audience suddenly shouted "Encore!" Some bold ones even suggested that a skilled warrior should come on stage and have a duel with the lady.
These stinky kids, let them open their eyes, they actually still have a crush on him. How could Gu Bei Chen possibly grant their wish? "The performance is just to add to the excitement, as long as the intention is there, that's enough. On a big festival like this, it's not like we're being too serious."
With the leader's backing, Ye Shanshan found an excuse to slip away from the stage, "I've only learned some superficial skills, I'm not worthy of being on stage, I apologize for my poor performance, please forgive me."
This statement still has some modest elements in it. If this level can only be considered superficial skills, then what about the close-range fighting to be performed next?
Fortunately, the host was quick-witted and temporarily adjusted the program sequence, moving the original next-on-stage confrontation a few places back, also giving the new recruits some face.
"Those trophies at your home weren't obtained for nothing." This was Gu Beichen's first time seeing Song Song perform martial arts in a formal setting, and to be honest, he was also shocked.
"Those were provincial and municipal level performances, not many people participated, I can only be considered as a dwarf among the tall. Learning martial arts is to strengthen my body and it's also my hobby, Ye Shanshan never thought of showing off those trophies to others."
Gu Bei Chen was genuinely wanting to praise her, but didn't expect her to be so humble. "Being the first in the province isn't convincing enough?"
"There are many people who are more capable than me." Ye Shanshan habitually touched her nose, and a happy smile filled her face. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been a well-behaved child, and she had never lacked praise and admiration, but being able to gain his recognition gave her a sense of satisfaction that could not be expressed in words.
"In my heart, you are the best, no one can compare to you." There must be someone better and more excellent than you in this world, but in my heart, you are the most special and only one.
The couple, with over a hundred people sitting behind them, were incredibly unscrupulous in their intimate whispers to each other. The group of young men in their twenties couldn't help but feel envious and jealous, they almost lost interest in watching the performance.
At this time, it is necessary to play some exciting games to refresh oneself.
Heavens, this is a military unit, a barracks, how can someone dare to suggest playing Truth or Dare, a game full of uncertain factors?!
Of course, whether this game can proceed smoothly still needs to ask for Old Man Gu's opinion first.
The host, who had just eaten the old man's white eyes, came forward with a smile and asked: "Old man, you see, these soldiers are all celebrating the New Year outside for the first time, why not let them have some fun?"
Gu Beichen did not give an immediate answer, but instead asked his wife's opinion first, "Do you think such a crazy game is suitable for playing in the army?"
"As long as we grasp the degree, it should be fine." Ye Shanshan thought so. With her husband around, those new recruits wouldn't dare to go too far. The most daring adventure would be doing some physically demanding exercises or training; as for true words, everyone could just improvise, and no one would really try to verify them.
Of course, she gave the above answer with a very important premise - this game has nothing to do with her and her husband, they just need to watch the excitement from the side.
"Don't worry, boss. The game project has been unanimously approved by everyone. Please take a look first, and if you find anything inappropriate, point it out." This issue had already been considered by the person in charge of planning the game, after all, they were in a military unit, and no one dared to make excessive demands.
Gu Beichen took it over casually, symbolically swept a few eyes, and then handed over the decision-making power to his wife, "You take a look."
Ye Shanshan didn't hold back, carefully reviewing all the projects. As expected, the "daring" ones were mostly physical challenges, while the "heartfelt words" section mainly focused on impressions and opinions about leaders and comrades in the team, leaning towards entertainment, not excessive.
However, this game seems to have missed a very important point. If the person who is drawn does not want to accept the challenge, shouldn't there be corresponding punishment?
"Of course!" The host, Xiao Yuan, snapped his fingers and immediately someone pushed a small cart filled with wine cups onto the stage.
"Drinking?" Cough cough, how cliché. I thought they would have some fresher ideas.
Xiao Yuan smiled and replied: "To be precise, it should be a specially formulated fruit wine. Anyway, it's just a game, so let's just get the meaning across."
"That's no problem, let's proceed with the project as planned." Ye Shanshan was completely in a state of mind waiting to see the show, from the beginning she had never thought of participating, the game is about to start, this illusion still exists.
However, after the host announced the game rules, she soon realized that she might be in trouble tonight. If everyone wanted to see her 'perform', it wouldn't be hard to pretend at all.
What era is this? Still playing the drum and passing flowers routine. With so many post-90s, can't you come up with something more innovative?
So she decided to take the initiative and said, "I'll go beat the drum."
Comrade Xiao Yuan cleared his throat intentionally and explained seriously: "Our game rules are like this, everyone takes turns beating the drum, the first person to beat the drum must first complete a truth or dare before sitting on the stage, the first round of completion will become the next drummer, and so on."
Uh, wanting to get on stage and play drums requires completing the game first. Who is the genius that set this rule?
Her right eye suddenly twitched wildly, and Ye Shanshan always felt that she was the first to complete the game. So, she made a crazy decision: "Alright, I'll punish myself with a cup first, in exchange for the chance to strike the drum first, okay?"
A burst in the crowd, a group of warriors were 'thundered' by the lady once again.
Following Gu Bei Chen's temper, he should have stopped her decisively, but as soon as he heard she wanted to drink, he started getting ideas again.
Will a little cat who has drunk too much wine make some crazy moves beyond his imagination? He is very curious.
So he decided to indulge her madness: "Since she wants to drum so much, let her go."
The boss made the decision and no one else dared to question it anymore.
A glass of about 50ml fruit wine, Ye Shanshan drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, he still couldn't help but sigh a few words: Wow, who made this wine? The taste is really good, sour and sweet, without any wine flavor at all.
There's a saying that a dog that bites doesn't bark. Similarly, wine that tastes bland at first is often the most potent.
Someone who had downed a shot of strong liquor without batting an eye sat down at the drum set, fidgeting with the drumsticks. "Is everyone ready? I'm starting."
"Let's get started, we're all ready." The professionally trained warriors indeed lived up to their reputation, answering questions with such uniformity.
The drumstick fell, the drum sounded, and the audience below suddenly became a mess. This was no longer about passing flowers, but about grabbing!
At last, the person who rushed to grab the flowers at the moment when the drum fell had the good fortune to go on stage and stand together with the lady, and took a photo with her.
With this bad start, the game quickly entered a vicious cycle.
In half an hour of gaming, Ye Shanshan has been asked on stage three times, and each time she escaped the game by drinking.
The first time was her own initiative, the second time was because the challenge of the big adventure had exceeded her physical endurance. As for the third time, it was a completely instinctive reaction.
She seems to be addicted to this sweet and sour fruit wine.
The result of indulging in wine is just one - intoxication!
The game session ended soon, and the aftertaste of the fruit wine began to emerge.
Someone saw it with their own eyes, secretly delighted in their heart, and deliberately pretended not to see. But his family couldn't help but laugh, "Mommy, what's wrong? Your face is so red."
"Yes, it seems like there's still some heat." As the person involved, Ye Shanshan had naturally already noticed, but was hesitant to speak up since they were surrounded by people.
"Shall we head back first?" The party was coming to an end, and Gu Bei Chen was also worried that after the effects of the wine kicked in, Xiao Zui Ma would do something inappropriate, so he thought about taking her home quickly.
"Is it okay?" After all, I was invited as a guest, so leaving early doesn't seem quite right.
"You're not feeling well, they'll understand." With that, Gu Bei Chen stood up straightforwardly, unapologetically placing a hand on her waist, "How is it? Can you walk by yourself?"
"It's... it's fine, I'll just hold onto you then." At this moment, Ye Shanshan's consciousness hadn't been completely dulled by the alcohol, and she still felt a bit embarrassed about being hugged in front of everyone.
"Be careful then." Gu Bei Chen didn't force the issue either, beckoned Zhong Yang over to whisper a few words in his ear before leaving with his wife and daughter through the side door.
After watching Mr. Gu and his family leave, the atmosphere in the venue became lively again. Some bold ones almost started shouting as soon as the side door closed, "The lady's drinking capacity is really poor, three cups of fruit wine knocked her out."
"You know what, the fruit wine is mixed with whiskey. If you're capable, go ahead and drink three cups to see if you can get drunk like a cloud in the fog." The new recruit Xiao Qiu, who was responsible for mixing the fruit wine, revealed the secret. Before joining the army, Xiao Qiu had worked as a bartender at a bar for some time, so covering up the taste of liquor with fruit flavors was child's play for him.
"What's wrong with you, kid? If Old Gu finds out, I'll be in trouble too!" Last time Shu Yue climbed the watchtower, Zhong Yang had been implicated once already, and he didn't want to go through that again.
"Do you guys think Captain Gu is showing signs of anger? Maybe he's even grateful to me in his heart." Although they were young and inexperienced, these new recruits weren't fools, and Captain Gu's thoughts didn't escape their notice.
Zhong Yang also quickly reacted, some things, with a bit of alcohol courage, are indeed easier to handle.
On the other hand, Gu Bei Chen had already taken his wife and child out of the activity building. Finally away from everyone's sight, Ye Shan Shan didn't have to be considerate anymore, "Uh... I think I'm a bit drunk."
Idiot, it's not like I'm drunk, I'm really drunk, and I'm not even light-headed! Just now my face was a little red and hot, but now I'm dizzy, dry mouthed, and everything is spinning. At this rate, the double vision in front of me will only get worse with time.
Someone still had a considerate expression of a model husband, "It's okay, just go back and rest early if you're drunk."
"Mom said wine is sweet, how can you still get drunk?" Xixi's question hit the spot, and Ye Shanshan, who was already dizzy from drinking, had the same question. This wine tasted like fruit juice at first, and there was no feeling at all, so why is it so uncomfortable now?
"Maybe she can't hold her liquor." Gu Bei Chen casually responded with a sentence, turned around and helped Xiao Zui Mao adjust his collar, "I'll carry you back."
"I... I can still walk by myself." Although his words were a bit slurred, Ye Shanshan's consciousness was still relatively clear. It was just past nine o'clock, and the streets were bustling with people. If someone as big as him had to be carried, it would definitely attract onlookers and cause a scene.
"Mommy, let Daddy carry you instead. The road outside is not easy to walk on and the streetlights are not bright enough." Mommy's condition didn't look too good, and Little Goblin was worried too.
Gu Bei Chen didn't bother to say much to her, and simply squatted down in front of her: "Hurry up and get on, it's windy at night, and blowing for a long time will give you a headache."
Ye Shanshan couldn't resist him, so she obediently leaned against him, her hands clasped together on his chest, and contentedly sighed, "Husband, you're really good to me."
Uh, it seems that a certain drunk cat's consciousness is getting more and more muddled. If I'm not mistaken, this might be the first time she's called someone "husband" in front of Xiao Xiao.
"Haha, Mom is really drunk!" Look, even Xiaoxiao at home can tell.
"So wait till you get home and listen to her obediently, don't argue with her." Someone who was full of expectation happened to take this opportunity to remind the little devil.
"Got it, wait for me to take a bath and then go to sleep obediently." Poor Xiao Xiao was 'bullied' by her dad like this.
All the way, Ye Shanshan didn't stop for a moment, humming and murmuring to herself, but it was unclear what she was saying.
Judging from her current state, her intoxication seems to have reached a new level.
After a long struggle, it took a quarter of an hour to get home. Xiao smiled and took the key to run ahead, opening the door, turning on the lights, and turning on the heating, very efficiently.
Gu Bei Chen quickly carried Xiao Zui Mao into the room, and Xiao Xiao followed in with concern: "Dad, Mommy has been calling out for water, should we get her a cup of hot water?"
"Come on, you go wash up first and sleep early." Gu Bei Chen stroked his obedient daughter's head with a relieved expression, and together they entered the bathroom, where he had already prepared warm water and pajamas for her. Since having Su Su, it had been a long time since he had attended to Xiao Xiao's bath routine, but today she suddenly passed out drunk, giving him the opportunity to show his paternal side in front of Xiao Xiao.
The little demon is not very grateful, pulling her father's hand to go out, "Dad, hurry up and take care of Mommy, I can handle it myself." After being with Mommy for nearly four months, she is no longer the spoiled princess who opens her mouth for food and stretches out her hands for clothes. This little thing is not difficult for her at all.
The little drunk cat in the room was still making a fuss, but Gu Bei Chen didn't rush back to serve her. "Your mom is really awesome, teaching you to be so obedient in just a few short months."
"Of course, Dad chose Mom after selecting from many, how could he be wrong?" The little demon's cleverness and cunning weren't entirely taught by her mother, just look at her flattering skills, Ye Shanshan can't even compare.
Gu Bei Chen was delighted, thinking about whether he should give Xiao Xiao some substantial rewards, when a loud noise came from the room opposite, "Husband... it's so hard to bear..."
Little ancestor, isn't your stomach uncomfortable and want to vomit?
"Mom is calling again, Dad should go back." Although she wanted to chat with her dad, Xiao Xiao knew clearly in her heart that it wasn't the right time.
"Okay, go to sleep after washing up, I'll go take a look."
After casually reminding her of two things, Gu Bei Chen quickly returned to the room. Fortunately, Xiao Zui Mao was just shouting that she was hot and didn't show any signs of wanting to vomit. "First take off your clothes, I'll go get you a glass of water." Looking at her restless appearance, Gu Bei Chen really regretted letting her drink. He was busy taking care of her and had no mind to think about those messy things.
Gu Beichen poured himself a glass of water and returned to his room, only to find Xiao Zui mao sitting blankly on the bed as soon as he opened the door.
It's deadly, what on earth is this fruit wine made of, it can actually make people lose their normal sense of temperature.
Gu Beichen hastily ran over and wrapped a bathrobe around her, "The temperature in the room is less than 20 degrees, how did you end up undressed like this?"
"Didn't you tell me to take off my clothes?" She still had an excuse.
Gu Beichen helplessly covered his forehead, I let you take it off, but I didn't tell you to take off your down jacket!
"Alright, drink some water first and rest well. Forget about benefits and all that, just focus on being a good wife."
Gulp gulp, a mouthful of water was gone in less than ten seconds. After drinking it all, she even licked her lips with an aftertaste, "So sweet."
Shut up, you big-headed ghost! What I just gave you to drink wasn't fruit wine, it was plain water, okay?!
"Get into bed quickly, be careful not to catch a chill." Gu Bei Chen ignored Xiao Zui Miao's unconscious actions and lifted the covers, preparing to put her in.
Who would have thought that with her half-closed drunken eyes, she nimbly flipped over and instead pushed him down, "Who told you that exercising a bit would warm you up?"
Cough cough, it's really hard for her, getting drunk like this and still remembering what he said before.
"A drunk person can't engage in intense exercise." Gu Bei Chen was teased by her coquettish attitude to the point of crying and laughing, even when drunk she could be so adorable, only she could do that.
"Who says I'm drunk?" Ye Shanshan finally said the most common phrase that a drunken person would say.
It's inevitable that a drunk person would say some unreasonable things. Gu Bei Chen didn't bother to argue with her, "Alright, you're not drunk."
"Hehehe......" Xiao Zui mao, who was half-kneeling on the bed, suddenly let out a burst of childlike laughter.
Everything that happened next was just a matter of course, her wet and hot lips lightly kissed his face...
Tonight, she is the real queen.
For the first time, she blossomed into her most charming self for him.
The beginning and process of the story are not quite like usual, but the result is surprisingly consistent.
Ye Shanshan fell asleep, exhausted, but a certain someone was still full of energy and satisfaction. He held her comfortably in his arms, yet couldn't bear to fall asleep.
"You little fool, I'll never let you drink again." Such pleasure was enough for once, every time it made her so tired, he couldn't bear it.
A dreamless night, the last day of the lunar year arrived on schedule amidst flying and fluttering snow.
The consequences of excessive indulgence after drinking are predictable: headache, pale face, dizziness, and severe physical collapse.
It's even more unbearable than having a serious illness!
Ye Shanshan slowly opened her eyes in this state, and after gradually waking up clearly, everything that happened last night flashed through her mind like a movie.
Reunion, Truth or Dare, Fruit Wine...
She seemed to be carried back home by her husband. But what happened after she got home, she couldn't remember no matter how hard she tried.
Woe is me, I'm drunk and look like a ghost. Hopefully, I won't do anything crazy to my husband.
As she was lost in thought, a familiar gentle voice suddenly came from behind her, "Wake up."
She tried to turn over, but unfortunately it seemed like she would fall apart with just a slight movement. Heaven, what terrible thing happened last night?
