I don't want to be your wife.

"Sigh~ People are always envious of what they don't have, how pathetic~"

As she spoke, Zhang Ya crossed her arms, further emphasizing her open-mindedness.

"Damn it, it's all because you gave me such difficult questions! Can't you watch your words? You had to say something that's even more fun than being the world's richest person!"

Unable to win an argument with Zhang Ya, Lin Xiuyun turned her anger towards Qin Feng, who thus suffered another undeserved misfortune.

"No, that's not it. Well, that's what Mu Mu said. I just chimed in..." Qin Feng felt wronged and didn't want to talk anymore.

"Then let me give you an idea. Mu Mu knows about your relationship, right? Right now you two are probably in that proud and aloof phase where you like each other but refuse to admit it, right?"

Zhang Ya once again brought up the topic of Mi Han and Lin Xiujun. The straight-laced Mi Han had never been stimulated like this before, and remained silent with a bright red face.

You mean Lin Xiuyun? Lin Xiuyun curled up behind Mi Han, almost disappearing into the crack of the sofa. Her face must be burning red, and she probably doesn't dare to show her face to anyone.

Zhang Ya couldn't help but laugh again. Wasn't she just too cute? Not only Lin Xiuyun, but even Mi Han's performance was incredibly adorable. Zhang Ya, who was covering her mouth, let out a maternal smile through her teeth.

"No, hahaha, you two are too cute! It was my idea, my idea! Yes, I can't take it anymore, let me laugh for a bit first!"

Zhang Ya hugged a cushion on the sofa, burying her head in it and writhing like a maggot, completely losing her spoiled princess demeanor.

Qin Feng was desperate. He felt that pinning his hopes on these few people was not as good as hoping that a distant relative of his would pass away and leave him 50 billion yuan. At least that would give him some hope.

"Oh, I'm all better now. Love is just so wonderful, it makes my heart flutter. Anyway, let's get down to business."

After a while, Zhang Ya got up and sat up, tidied her messy hair and clothes, and said seriously.

"It's actually quite simple. What money can't buy is feelings. Besides his own feelings, what makes Qin Feng happy are the two of you?"

Zhang Ya's words were already very clear, but it was obvious that neither Lin Xiuyun nor Mi Han wanted to understand them.

"Tsk tsk, two grown men so arrogant, is it really necessary? Arrogance can ruin a life, you know?"

Zhang Ya walked directly behind Lin Xiujun and pulled Lin Xiujun's head out from behind Mi Han.

"The good news is that Lin Xiuyun has finally made up her mind to confess her feelings to Mi Han, and now is the perfect time to do so. Lin Xiuyun, you're in charge of confessing, understand?"

Lin Xiuyun didn't dare to answer, but her flushed face showed her attitude. Even if Mi Han might be able to accept her, Lin Xiuyun still couldn't quite accept it right now.

"Wait a minute, shouldn't the guy be the one to confess? It seems like Mi Han is the dominant one in this couple, right? So Mi Han, shouldn't you take the initiative?"

Qin Feng began trying to drag his former good assistant into the mess; in this respect, you can always believe how proactive a guy can be.

But who is our Mi Han? He's an older, straight man with the pure, innocent nature of a young boy, which he brings to the extreme. Although he wants to take the next step, he's still hesitant.

"Tsk, then we'll have to use our ultimate weapon. Let's get some alcohol, and whoever gets drunk first and can't take it anymore can speak up, okay?"

Zhang Ya didn't expect to decide who would take the initiative right now. She figured they'd be too drunk and the atmosphere would be too tense, and she didn't believe the two of them could handle it. As for who confessed first, what mattered? The future was what mattered most.

Qin Feng nodded and went out to buy wine. Zhang Ya also returned to 201, leaving only Lin Xiuyun and Mi Han alone.

"I, I'm going back to my room!" Lin Xiuyun said, then ran into her room and wrapped herself in the blanket.

Mi Han was equally at a loss. He had intended to take things slowly, but Zhang Ya was so intense. With mixed feelings, Mi Han could only hold a glass of water and lean against the balcony to ponder.

……

"How's dinner ready?" Qin Feng took out the beer he had just brought up and put it in the refrigerator. He also took out the liquor he had bought on a whim and put it directly on the dining table.

"It'll be over soon. Why are you buying alcohol again? Do you want to end up in the hospital?" Su Mumu saw that Qin Feng had bought two cases of alcohol today. Last time, the two of them only drank one case, but today, with two cases, one of them might drink himself to death here.

"We're not the main force today. These drinks are for Mi Han and Lin Xiuyun. Weren't you curious about what I'm happy about? Well, since you've called the main character over, you can witness it for yourself!"

Qin Feng kept working, and didn't forget to turn around and smile at Su Mumu.

"No, the problem is that beer and seafood together can cause gout, right? Anyone would get sick from that, wouldn't they?"

Su Mumu looked at Qin Feng, who was excitedly serving wine, with a puzzled expression. Could it be that Qin Feng was so old and didn't even know this?

Just as Su Mumu had predicted, Qin Feng's hand holding the wine bottle trembled, and he almost dropped it. Then, Qin Feng looked at Su Mumu with a bitter expression.

"Mu Mu, I forgot! What should we do? If Lin Xiujun and Mi Han didn't have alcohol to bolster their courage today, they'd probably be so embarrassed they'd die here without saying a word!"

In that situation just now, who remembered that alcohol and seafood can't be eaten together? Qin Feng's mind was filled with thoughts of Mi Han finally finding a partner. Congratulations!

Su Mumu rolled her eyes helplessly, then picked up the liquor Qin Feng had bought.

"Go buy some prawns now, and also get a bottle of baijiu. I'll make some drunken prawns, hoping that one of them has a low alcohol tolerance. Also, reserve a spot at the hospital for someone who can treat gout."

How could we possibly stop Mi Han and Lin Xiuyun from eating seafood tonight? We can only try to prepare for an emergency response in case of an accident.

Chapter 123 Confession at the Dinner Party

"Dinner's ready!"

Su Mumu carried the dishes out bowl by bowl, and soon the entire table was filled with food.

The main dish for dinner tonight is seafood. Each person has a large steamed crab in front of them, as well as crab-eating utensils that Su Mumu specially bought at the supermarket.

"Enjoy your meal and drinks! I only prepared enough for two people, but five of you showed up, haha~"

The others looked at the table full of food and the crab in front of them that was half the size of a head, and didn't think it was enough for two people to finish.

"Um, how do I use this?"

As an inlander who had never eaten crab before, Mi Han picked up the tools in front of her, fiddled with them for a while, and found that she couldn't get much of the meat out of her mouth.

"I'll do it, you go first..." Qin Feng, who was sitting next to her, was about to teach Mi Han when Su Mumu interrupted him.

"Wait a minute! Lin Xiujun, you grew up in Mayor S, you must know how to use something like this, right? Why don't you go and teach Mihan?"

Lin Xiuyun had just overcome her shyness and started eating, so she was definitely unwilling. Therefore, Lin Xiuyun put down the tools in her hand, grabbed the crab leg and bit it directly with her teeth.

"I don't know either, so you can't live by the sea and never have eaten seafood?"

Everyone could tell that Lin Xiuyun was sulking, and Mi Han was even more disappointed.

Su Mumu frowned as she looked at the scene. It seemed different from what had been agreed upon. Was it just Mi Han who wanted to take things further?

Actually, Su Mumu didn't want the relationship between Mi Han and Lin Xiuyun to develop so quickly. After all, the medicine that could change Lin Xiuyun's gender wouldn't be available until next year, and the gender gap was a real physical obstacle.

Su Mumu planned to observe first; this meal would be enough for her to see how far the relationship between the two had progressed.

However, Su Mumu did not expect that as soon as they started eating, Mi Han simply gave up on the crabs and started drinking wine.

"Brother Mihan, don't drink so much at the beginning of the meal, or you might lose your senses later on."

Mi Han pulled out a bottle of liquor from somewhere, and instead of drinking it, she practically guzzled it down, glass after glass, which terrified Su Mumu. She knew that if Mi Han got truly drunk, Su Mumu wouldn't be able to stop her from doing whatever she wanted!

"What, Mumu's treating today, so I'm not allowed to drink? I'm planning to have a little too, Mumu, aren't you going to risk your life to keep me company?"

Zhang Ya saw through Su Mumu's intentions, poured two glasses, and gave one to Su Mumu. Su Mumu was too busy to worry about anyone else.

"Oh, okay, then I'll have a drink with Sister Zhang Ya."

Su Mumu was quite confident in her alcohol tolerance. Although Qin Feng drank some of her share that day, Su Mumu still drank quite a lot.

Seeing everyone raise their glasses, Qin Feng silently put down his own. If everyone gets drunk here today, who will take everyone to the hospital tomorrow?

"Ptooey, so spicy!"

In a corner unnoticed by everyone, Lin Xiuyun secretly tried a little bit of the baijiu, but it was so spicy that she obviously couldn't handle it.

"Adding a little carbonated drink will make it more comfortable to drink. Also, beginners should take a breath before drinking and spit it out afterward to make it less uncomfortable."

With nothing to do, Qin Feng took a couple of sips of wine, then looked at the mess on the table and saw Lin Xiujun drinking alone, looking distressed.

Following Qin Feng's instructions, Lin Xiuyun mixed half a glass of wine with half a glass of beverage, stared at the wine glass for a while, then took a deep breath and sipped a little.

"I thought you were going to chug a whole glass in one go, making such a big show of it."

Qin Feng had already reached for Lin Xiuyun's cup, but unexpectedly, Lin Xiuyun took a sip.

"Thank you, I feel much better."

Lin Xiuyun savored the taste in her throat; although it was still spicy, it was much better. But the bitter wine still stung her heart, and the frustration in her heart surged up.

“I feel like my life is so miserable. Every time I start a new life, someone forces me to change. This time is no exception. Even though I wanted to slow down, they still pushed me forward.”

Lin Xiuyun's voice sounded like she was talking to herself, or perhaps she was venting to someone, but right now, the only one who could hear Lin Xiuyun's voice was Qin Feng.

"Misery? Do you think anyone here has a good life and everything goes smoothly? You know what happened to Mu Mu. My suffering is not just what you see in front of you. Zhang Ya also went through great times, but now she is fallen into the mortal world."

If you had to pick the best one, it would be Mi Han, because after twenty-six years of struggle, he found his final destination with you. So don't underestimate Mi Han's feelings, understand?

Qin Feng's voice was light and airy, but it sounded much heavier when it came to Lin Xiuyun. Lin Xiuyun, who looked pitiful, started drinking one glass of wine after another. Although each sip was small, it went down quickly.

"Alright, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Relationships are a two-way process. Neither Mumu nor I will force it. If you really feel that you can't accept it, then take it slowly."

Lin Xiuyun is now on the borderline between being drunk and sober. Qin Feng knows that people in this state are the easiest to ask questions, so he waited for this moment.

"Really? Can I really take it slow? But everyone is pushing me to move forward. Can I really stop?"

Qin Feng only now realized that he and his group had put too much pressure on Lin Xiujun. Although they meant well, how was this any different from those awful parents?

Qin Feng wanted to ask Su Mumu what to do, but Su Mumu didn't seem to be able to answer the question right now.

"Five of a kind, six of a kind!" Zhang Ya quickly taught Su Mumu the card-drawing technique she had learned from her father's drinking party. As a result, the two of them barely ate any of the crabs in front of them, and beer bottles were scattered all over the floor.

"It's good that these two know to drink beer; if it were baijiu (Chinese liquor), we should have called 120 (emergency services)." Looking at Su Mumu's intoxicated state, Qin Feng felt that he couldn't rely on Su Mumu and could only try to handle things himself.

"This is your own choice. You should know that the more someone loves you, the more they will care about your feelings. So you can wait until you are sure of your own feelings before you say it."

Qin Feng felt he had done a good job. It was difficult for him to comfort people, let alone when it involved a complex emotional issue of love and hate.

"Mi Han! I like you!"

Unexpectedly, just as Qin Feng had settled down, Lin Xiuyun made a bold move that immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"But not now. I'm not sure if I can accept it yet, so give me some time. I don't want my first relationship to be rushed, so please wait for me!"

Chapter 124 Doing Bad Things

The stadium was quiet for a moment, but then erupted in cheers.

"Together, together! Kiss me, kiss me!"

Zhang Ya raised her hands and twisted them, shouting happily.

"Hey you, didn't you hear them say 'wait a moment'? Xiaoya, when did you finally give in to your brother?"

It was clear that Su Mumu was drunk; even Su Mu's soul and subconscious, which had been dormant for a long time, had surfaced.

"But Mi Han, aren't you going to do anything? That girl has already confessed!"

The case is solved. The boy's consciousness was almost dead; bullying Zhang Ya was just an unconscious act of hooliganism.

"Me too! Lin Xiuyun, I like you. I don't even know when it started. At first, it was just for Mumu's mission, but I found myself liking you more and more. I can wait, one year, two years, even ten years!"

Mi Han finally stopped drinking in silence, but even after drinking so much, Mi Han's reliable demeanor was quite reassuring.

"Yo yo, as expected of Brother Mi Han, still such a straight man, but not bad, much better than Qin Feng. That Qin Feng guy has the desire but not the guts, he's even worse..."

After Su Mumu's voice faded, Qin Feng looked over and found that Su Mumu had fallen asleep in Zhang Ya's arms.

"Is Qin Feng really that bad? How come you don't even have this much skill? Do you want your sister to help you? Mu Mu is very popular, you know. If you don't want her, your sister doesn't mind taking her in."

Zhang Ya was also drunk, but she could obviously hold on for a while. She helped Su Mumu up and lay her down on the sofa, where she also fell asleep.

"No, how did she fall asleep like that? I want to try it too! What if Mumu blacks out tomorrow? That would be fun twice over!"

Qin Feng is starting to hate alcoholism. What if Mu Mu gets drunk and doesn't remember anything? That would be a great practice opportunity. He agreed now, so why wouldn't he agree next time?

But once the opportunity is missed, it's gone forever. Qin Feng could only try to carry Su Mumu and Zhang Ya into the room. Before that, he made sure Su Mumu rinsed her mouth and washed her face. As for Zhang Ya, he just threw her on the bed.

"It itches, hehe, it itches so much, stop licking~"

When Qin Feng was washing Su Mumu's feet, Su Mumu suddenly started talking in her sleep, and her little feet kept trying to pull away from Qin Feng's hands.

"What's this guy dreaming about? Did he get a dog? Otherwise, who would want to sweeten your stinky feet?"

Qin Feng clearly no longer remembers his past thuggish behavior. Now he is a respectable company boss and has severed ties with his past self through the Book of Time!

"Qin Feng, stop licking, it itches! Stop licking, and don't bite!"

Unfortunately, Su Mumu helped Qin Feng recall that period of history, and Qin Feng, who had just been so self-righteous, suddenly felt guilty.

So Qin Feng thought, since the Book of Time has been activated once, why not do it again? Anyway, nobody knows, so—

Just as Qin Feng was about to put his plan into action, he suddenly felt a chill down his back. He turned around and saw that, apart from himself, Lin Xiujun was also awake, though not quite fully awake either.

"Ahem, um, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Qin Feng wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and asked Lin Xiuyun, who was still sipping her wine from her cup.

Lin Xiujun simply shook his head without reacting, but the movement of his lips told Qin Feng that he had spoken, though he couldn't hear him clearly.

"Well, I'll take Mumu back to bed now. You can drink slowly, and I'll collect it for you later."
