Chapter 163 Eve's Wine

Chapter 163 Eve's Wine
Pompeii Blue Diamond Gin.

Aloe vera liqueur.

Lemon juice and syrup.

Remove the core and skin of the green apple and squeeze into juice.

Juice two heads of kale.

Combine these ingredients with ice, shake well, and then strain the green liquid into a glass.

Garnish with toasted kale leaves, but you can also eat them.

"Ms. Xia Jiang, please."

Lin Ye pushed the green wine glass out of the bar.

Xia Jiang picked up the wine glass and looked curiously at the cabbage leaves on the rim of the glass and the wine that looked like vegetable juice.

“It looks like vegetable soup.”

"The name of this wine is Eve's Pot Liquor, which is indeed related to vegetable soup," Lin Ye introduced.

(Pot: pot, jar, kettle; Liquor: strong liquor)
"There is a traditional cooking method in the American South that boils vegetables with other suitable seasonings. The liquid left in the pot is called pot liquor, or kale liquor, because kale is the most common vegetable in this cooking method."

"The bartender who invented this drink grew up in the American South, so this drink can be said to represent the fusion of his parents' love and local culture."

After listening to Lin Ye's introduction, Xia Jiang's expression suddenly became a little sad.

"So, this wine was born from memories of my parents and cooking?"

Xia Jiang took a sip, and the fragrance of fruits and vegetables mixed with the sweet aroma of juniper berries intertwined, bringing a refreshing and unique taste.

She couldn't help but think of her parents who had gone to heaven, and said with tears in her eyes:

"I really wish Mom and Dad could see me in my dress."

As if she suddenly realized that this was a bar, she quickly reached out to wipe away her tears.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I just couldn't help but think of my parents who died in a car accident a year ago..."

"Bars are places for people to release their emotions. Miss Xia Jiang, don't worry about it." Lin Ye said.

After drinking, a blush appeared on Xia Jiang's face, making her, who was already pretty and charming, look even more beautiful and charming.

She is beautiful and has a good personality. It is no wonder that Ichiro Yasumoto likes her with such a cousin.

Ichiro Yasumoto's murderous intent was largely due to this cousin whom he loved but could not have.

As for the fact that the ideal of painting is not understood, that is secondary.

Therefore, if he wanted to dispel the murderous intent in his heart, this beautiful cousin had to step in.

Lin Ye pondered for a moment, and finally said:

"Ms. Xia Jiang, do you intend to keep pretending that you don't know about Mr. Ichiro's feelings for you?"

Xia Jiang let out a surprised sound. He didn't expect Lin Ye to bring up this matter.

"But I don't know what to do."

"You love Mr. Xiao Wu, don't you?"

"Yes, Xiao Wu is very kind and considerate to others. I love him very much."

Xia Jiang's eyes were gentle and his face flushed slightly.

"And like me, he also lost his parents. Xiao Wu's parents died when he was in his teens, and he spent his teenage years in an orphanage."

"Comparatively, Xiao Wu is much stronger than me. It is really precious that he can become such a gentle and kind person after such a tragic experience."

"It was Xiao Wu's precious tenderness that inspired me and helped me to walk out of the shadow of a year ago. I think that's why I fell in love with him."

"It's great to meet Xiao Wu."

Miss Xia Jiang said with tears in her eyes while smiling.

Lin Ye clearly felt her love for Xiao Wu.

"In that case, you should tell Mr. Ichiro."

Even if Musashi Usumoto agreed to Ichiro's marriage to Xia Jiang, Ichiro would have no chance.

Xiao Wu and Xia Jiang's marriage was based on love. Even without the arrangement of Musashi Yamoto, the two would have been together.

If Ichiro could realize this, he might not have assassinated his own grandfather.

Maybe he noticed it, but he didn't want to face the truth.

Instead, he stubbornly believed that as long as his grandfather nodded, he would still have a chance. However, after being rejected by Musashi Ushimoto, he transferred his anger for not being able to get love to his grandfather who treated him rudely.

Therefore, in order to make him give up his plan to kill, he must face the facts.

Only Miss Xia Jiang can do this.

But after hearing Lin Ye's suggestion, Xia Jiang hesitated and said, "Wouldn't this be too cruel for Ichiro?"

"It would be truly cruel to continue to ignore his feelings for you, allowing him to still harbor illusions and suffer emotional torture," Lin Ye said in an affirmative tone.

Xia Jiang was stunned.

"The problem will not disappear just because you pretend not to see it. Ignoring it will only lead to bigger problems," Lin Ye continued.

"Ms. Xia Jiang, face up to Mr. Ichiro's feelings for you and respond."

"What does a response mean?" Xia Jiang asked in confusion.

"Refusal is also a response. Just tell him what you just said to me truthfully."

"Although it may be difficult for him to accept it for a while, this will help him get over it and not have to suffer all the time."

Xia Jiang fell into deep thought.

After a while, she smiled with relief and recalled:

"That was a year ago, when my parents had just passed away. It was the darkest period in my life so far."

"That day, Yilang found me and said to me: Sister Xia Jiang, from now on, I will always be with you, please cheer up."

"Ichiro is a reserved person and has never said such a thing. At the time, I was immersed in my sadness and didn't notice anything wrong. It was only when I recalled it later that I noticed something was wrong."

"Since then, I have gradually discovered Ichiro's feelings for me."

"Although Japan does not prohibit cousin marriage, Ichiro is just a younger brother in my eyes."

"I didn't know how to deal with it, so I just pretended I didn't notice it and started to distance myself from Ichiro."

"Now that I think about it, it's really stupid. Ichiro must have been very miserable, right? He loved painting, but his grandfather didn't approve of him. As a result, even his sister, who had always supported him, began to become distant."

Xia Jiang took another sip of wine and said as if he had figured it out:

"You're right. I should tell Ichiro how I really feel and help him get over it instead of running away from him."

"Thank you for reminding."

Lin Ye smiled and said, "You're welcome." I just don't like tragedies.

It was already half past nine when Takeshi Yamoto returned to the bar.

Seeing Xia Jiang lying on the bar and already asleep, he showed a helpless smile: "How much did this guy drink by himself? He actually fell asleep."

"...Xiao Wu, don't be mean to me." Xia Jiang suddenly murmured.

Takeshi Yamoto was stunned to see that Xia Jiang still had his eyes closed. It turned out that he was just talking in his sleep.

"I'm sorry, but she didn't cause any trouble to the store?"

Lin Ye shook his head: "Actually, Miss Xia Jiang only drank one glass."

"This guy has always had a poor alcohol tolerance and can get drunk even after drinking wine."

When Takeshi Yamoto helped Xia Jiang up and prepared to leave.
