Journey to the End of the Night-Chapter 1265 - 824: Muddy Wine (Part 3)

The young girl responded with an "oh," adhering to the principle of not wasting, and drank all the wine tied with two red strings, pursed her lips, and her face remained unchanged, clearly proving she spoke the truth.

Who could have imagined, on the wedding night, the couple’s shared wine would all go to the bride’s stomach.

"This wine is sweet and clear, very nice, what wine is this?" the young girl asked, blinking her eyes.

"A specialty of Beiliao Town, Nier Wine."

Baili An found it strange, as the name of Nier Wine was learned from that young waiter.

It was also he who procured it, but he distinctly remembered Zhao Baixun spitting it out and cursing it as terrible when he drank Nier Wine.

Fortunately, the young girl wasn’t a heavy drinker; after quenching her thirst with two glasses, she put down the cup.

She leaned idly against the bedhead: "When will the pig demon come~~"

Baili An smiled helplessly; a night spent with two people not well-acquainted was rather long indeed.

He looked at the scattered seeds on the bed and suddenly thought, "Since there’s nothing to do, shall we play a game?"

The young girl rolled her eyes and said, "Do you have a game?"

Baili An picked up a longan and a date, handed the date to her, and said, "When I was young, I saw other kids playing a game called Gobang in the sand. It’s won by lining up five pieces in any direction. This game doesn’t need a board, and the pieces can be replaced by longans and dates."

In his childhood memories, he always saw many peers kicking sandbags and drawing Gobang outside his study window.

Bai Tuo Mountain is quite big, with plenty of fun places, yet they chose to play in his yard.

Baili An knew they weren’t playing together to show their unity.

They simply wanted to show their camaraderie, though he, the Young Master of Bai Tuo Mountain, had everything they lacked.

In this aspect, Baili An would never gain entry.

As a child, he might envy it somewhat, but as he grew, he found it tedious.

The only regret was the lack of a companion for playing Gobang during his childhood.

The young girl took the date that belonged to her as a piece and smiled, asking, "Just winning or losing is boring..."

Her eyes shifted, quickly scanning the bed, and she mischievously said, "Whoever loses must pick out ten lotus seed cores from the bed and eat them in one go."

Baili An raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure? This is your first time playing this game; be careful it’s so bitter you can’t speak."

The young girl scoffed in disdain: "I’m smart and can learn anything quickly. Just bring it on, boy."

Without further idle talk, they began the battle.

However... seemingly... somehow...

...her boasts were inflated. Every time, she watched Baili An’s longan pieces line up five in a row before realizing."

Her date pieces seemed to panic and focused on blocking his longan path, but when he lined up five, her pieces were scattered, separated by the ends of the earth.

After losing five rounds, she’d eaten fifty extremely bitter lotus seed cores, her delicate face scrunched up miserably, while Baili An laughed heartily. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Finally, in the sixth round, she counterattacked, avenging her past defeats, and laughed triumphantly with her hands on her waist, eagerly and smugly peeled ten lotus seed cores and placed them in his hand, urging, "Quick, eat... quick, eat."

Baili An pretended to be resigned as he ate them, mimicking her expression with a bitter face.

The young girl’s eyes narrowed like crescent moons, as if her frustrations vanished in an instant.

After eating the bitter lotus seed cores, Baili An separated the dates and longans on the bed, asking, "Want to go again?"

The young girl smiled and was about to nod in agreement when her expression suddenly became serious; the smile vanished, and she lowered her voice in caution, "There’s demon energy!"
