However, although Jiang Nianjiao drank half of the glass of wine, Zhao Yanzhen did not pick up the cup of medicinal wine she had just poured for him.
He just looked at Jiang Nianjiao indifferently. Those clear and light amber eyes seemed to contain hidden emotions.
When he smiled, it was natural as if the spring breeze was always blowing on his face, but at this moment, his expression seemed to be cold and could change at any time.
Thinking about how cruel and ruthless this man was before his rebirth, Jiang Nianjiao began to feel frightened.
Could it be that he had discovered that he had spiked the wine?
"You...don't you drink?" Jiang Nian said delicately.
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao mention this, he just looked away from her. He only looked at the wine in the glass, and then the corners of his thin lips raised slightly.
"I don't think what Miss Jiang just said can be said like that." He stroked the white porcelain wine cup, his voice as calm as the calm before the storm.
Jiang Nianjiao now began to regret adding this ingredient to Zhao Yanzhen's cup.
It was obvious that this person was not something he could control at all.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Nianjiao couldn't leave the other party alone, so she had no choice but to continue.
"A'qian is my cousin. It's my duty to help her. Why do I need you to thank her on her behalf?"
After saying this, he smiled softly, and the overwhelming sense of majesty just now seemed to be dissipated.
And hearing his tone of voice relaxed, it seemed as if he didn't know he had tampered with the wine.
Jiang Nianjiao's originally anxious heart was slightly relieved.
She only poured half a glass of wine for herself and said, "You're right, I was talking nonsense just now. I'll punish myself with one drink."
As soon as he finished speaking, he drank half the glass of wine.
After that, she made several excuses, but she still couldn't coax Zhao Yanzhen to drink the wine.
She didn't bother to find any excuse to drink. After all, she had never drank before, and she had only seen these general drinking rules once.
People come and go when they drink, and everyone who comes is welcome.
However, he had already had several glasses of wine, but the man in front of him was still indifferent.
Moreover, this wine was too unpleasant to drink. When she first drank it, she felt it was bitter and spicy. After the second glass, she began to feel that the wine was burning her throat. After the third or fourth cup, she was already dizzy.
Her little face wrinkled up, and she really didn't understand why men liked to drink such unpleasant things.
Thinking that she had suffered a lot, but the man refused to be fooled, she couldn't help but feel unwilling to do so, so when she saw that the other man was still holding the glass of wine, she suddenly leaned towards him.
Her sudden approach obviously caught Zhao Yanzhen off guard.
Jiang Nianjiao just smiled coquettishly, and there seemed to be a hint of cunning and pride in her almond-shaped eyes, as if she had succeeded in a mischief.
She supported the table on his side with one hand, while the other hand held up the glass of wine that he refused to drink.
She just put the cup to the other person's lips and said vaguely, "I drank it, why don't you drink it? Do you look down on me?"
Her voice was soft and her vague meaning combined with two blushes made her even more charming and charming.
Although she was so touching, Zhao Yanzhen did not give in.
He just coaxed softly, "Jiaojiao, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk!" Jiang Nianjiao just put the wine glass in front of Zhao Yanzhen's lips, but saw that Zhao Yanzhen's light lips were stained with water, making them look a bit sluggish.
Jiang Nianjiao blinked, then smiled and said, "You really don't want to drink? Then I will."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nianjiao just turned the wine glass and poured it towards her lips.
Just when Zhao Yanzhen thought Jiang Nianjiao was finally done with her troubles, she suddenly approached Zhao Yanzhen again.
With the shadow above her head covering her head, the girl opposite actually poured the glass of wine and brought it to her lips.
He originally wanted to push the girl away, but instead she hugged him tightly without giving up.
The soft touch touched my heart that was already beating wildly.
He finally stopped exerting more control and only held Jiang Nianjiao's waist, turning his passiveness into his own initiative.
As lips and tongues intertwined, the wine flowed to her lips, blending into her lips and into his throat.
He didn't know how long the kiss lasted. With Jiang Nianjiao's gentle push away, it took him a long time to let go of Jiang Nianjiao.
There was a hint of lust on his thin lips, but his pale amber eyes were clear.
Comparing Jiang Nianjiao's already beautiful red lips with the blurry water in her eyes.
The status of both parties is clear at a glance.
"Jiaojiao, if you want people to tell the truth, you shouldn't hide anything yourself."
"Okay now, you and I are telling the truth, what do you want to ask me?" Zhao Yanzhen asked softly.
Jiang Nianjiao felt dizzy, but she didn't know whether it was because of the medicine's effect, or whether she didn't forget to complete her task even when she was drunk.
She nestled in Zhao Yanzhen's arms, but still did not forget to torture him. She whispered softly, "Did you let Chen Jinghuai detain Mr. Gao?"
Zhao Yanzhen did not hide it, "Yes."
"Why are you detaining Mr. Gao? Do you want to help your uncle cover up his crime of embezzling military supplies? If Mr. Gao finds out the truth, will you kill people and silence him?" Jiang Nianjiao asked these questions like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
Zhao Yanzhen probably never expected that just by answering a question, he would quickly attract a lot of questions.
He smiled helplessly, "You ask so many questions at once, I don't know where to start from."
"But what I can tell you is that Mr. Gao will definitely return safely this time, and he will even have greater gains when he returns."
However, Jiang Nianjiao's attention was obviously not on his answer at this time. She was holding Zhao Yanzhen's scattered black hair and braiding it.
I don’t know if she listened to what Zhao Yanzhen said just now.
But whether she knew it or not had no big impact on Zhao Yanzhen.
"Jiaojiao, do you have anything else to ask?" Zhao Yanzhen asked.
At this time, Jiang Nianjiao had poured out all the thoughts that had been lingering in her mind for the past few days like beans. She didn't have anything else to ask at this time.
Even if there was anything else she wanted to ask, her thoughts were confused at the moment and she couldn't think of it for the moment.
Seeing that she remained silent, she was afraid that Jiang Nianjiao would fall asleep.
Zhao Yanzhen was naturally ready to ask about his guess.
"Jiaojiao, have you ever had any strange experiences? Can you tell me about them?" He asked softly, as if he was afraid of waking the girl up.
Jiang Nianjiao just looked at Zhao Yanzhen in confusion, as if she didn't understand what magical experience the other party wanted to pry into.
The truth pill had the effect of dulling the nerves, and Jiang Nianjiao drank so much wine.
Naturally, I can't answer any complicated questions at this time.
Considering this aspect, Zhao Yanzhen could only say, "For example, you clearly felt that you were dead, but you were reborn before death and returned to the past."
After Zhao Yanzhen explained this, Jiang Nianjiao understood. She nodded and smiled brightly. "You guessed it right. Not only am I reborn, I also know that you are my kind."
"Tell me, do you have some kind of bullshit system? Is that system also forcing you to do tasks? What is your task?" Jiang Nianjiao hugged Zhao Yanzhen's neck and turned into a chatterbox.
"System? Mission? What is that?" Zhao Yanzhen obviously had no contact with this. However, when he suddenly heard the unfamiliar vocabulary, he still felt vaguely excited.
After all, maybe he has seen too clearly, so no matter what he is doing, he seems to feel that it is meaningless.
Because of this, he is full of curiosity about novel things.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't realize anything was wrong. Because of the effect of the truth pill, she was about to introduce the system in her body to Zhao Yanzhen in detail.
However, a red exclamation point appeared in front of her eyes, and she could hear a harsh warning: "Host, please pay attention! Host, please pay attention. Before the task is completed, the host has the obligation to protect the system from being known by the characters in this world. If this happens It will trigger the awakening of consciousness of the characters in this world and cause the system to collapse. The host will also be permanently wiped out!"
"The protection mechanism will now be activated immediately, host please make a choice quickly!"
At the same time, two option boxes popped up in front of her eyes, and this time the options could not be canceled at all.
Jiang Nianjiao just felt that the frame that kept jumping in front of her eyes was too annoying, so she just clicked on one of the options without realizing it.
Then she felt a sudden burst of pain that was about to explode in her brain. Jiang Nianjiao subconsciously held her head.
She frowned, and at the same time she only covered her throbbing temples.
"His! My head hurts!"
At this time, Jiang Nianjiao was completely in pain. Naturally, she could not answer any of Zhao Yanzhen's questions.
Zhao Yanzhen was obviously shocked by Jiang Nianjiao's sudden change.
He did not continue to ask. Although he still didn't know what the system was, he could clearly feel that Jiang Nianjiao's sudden headache at this moment might be related to this.
Perhaps this is a punishment and protection mechanism for her about to reveal the secret.
With this in mind, Zhao Yanzhen just rubbed Jiang Nianjiao's temples and whispered in Jiang Nianjiao's ear over and over again, "I won't ask anymore."
I don't know how many times he coaxed her like this, but Jiang Nianjiao's brows, which had been furrowed in pain, finally began to relax.
At the same time, the originally bustling tavern on the first floor was deserted.
In the tavern, the smell of blood was very strong.
With Wang Biaoquan being beheaded, the group of minions under him no longer dared to resist. They were only tied up in a bunch and stood in the corner.
Chen Changnian was unavoidably elated at this time. She took the initiative to say to Mo Xia, who was rescued, "You don't have to thank me. Heroism and righteousness are what people in the world do."
However, Mo Xia was not amused by the words she learned from a martial arts storybook.
Even the tavern owner who collapsed on the ground looked at Wang Biaoquan lying in a pool of blood and just cried bitterly, "Alas! All my years of hard work will inevitably be burned down today!"
Chen Yannian was very upset after hearing what the tavern owner said. He rarely saved someone and even brought all the lawbreakers to justice for him. Why was the owner still crying here?
She was about to reprimand the boss, but Mo Xia patted Chen Changnian on the shoulder.
Although she knew in her heart that this little heroine had stirred up a bigger problem, she obviously didn't want to see the younger generation in the world. She became timid because of fear of power, so she only cupped her fists at Chen Changnian to express her gratitude.
Then she kindly reminded her, "Girl, it's better to leave now."
Chen Yannian said happily, "Senior, will you come with me?"
Mo Xia just shook her head. After all, there was such a big fuss in the store, and she could indeed leave. However, the store owner who had taken her in out of gratitude would suffer a greater disaster.
Chen Yannian asked in confusion, "Why doesn't Senior want to leave with me?"
"Because none of you can leave today!"
