"Are you really okay? You don't feel uncomfortable?" Yuan Li asked with a flushed face.

"My alcohol tolerance is great. I can drink two or three jin of liquor with no problem," Ge Dongxu replied, not understanding why she asked, and straightened his back with a somewhat proud tone.

This time, Yuan Li was almost embarrassed enough to want to hide in a hole, but at the same time, for some reason, her gaze filled uncontrollably with an indescribable tenderness toward Ge Dongxu. She wished she could hold him tight and shower him with love.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Ge Dongxu felt bewildered by Yuan Li's stare.

"You're handsome, can't a sister appreciate that?" Yuan Li suddenly came to her senses and rolled her eyes at Ge Dongxu.

Ge Dongxu felt a bit bashful as he scratched his head, but he was inwardly pleased by Yuan Li's compliment about his good looks.

"Since you can hold your liquor so well, let's drink a little," Yuan Li suggested with a smile, seeing Ge Dongxu's bashfulness.

"Then just a little," Ge Dongxu nodded in agreement.

In the end, they still ended up drinking, but this time it was Huadiao Wine; Yuan Li somehow found out that Ge Dongxu liked Huadiao Wine.

Huadiao Wine was smooth at first sip, but packed a punch later on.

Unconsciously, Yuan Li ended up drinking a bit too much. When Ge Dongxu noticed her flush with the influence of alcohol, under the lamplight she appeared exceptionally charming and radiant. He couldn't help but bitterly smile to himself, having forgotten the potent aftereffect of Huadiao Wine.

"Sister Li, that's enough. Let's not drink anymore," Ge Dongxu urged urgently.

At this moment, the full effect of the wine hadn't hit yet, and Yuan Li's mind was still fairly clear. She nodded, "Hmm, we can't drink any more."

But without drinking, a man and a woman sitting together without talking about love or romance felt somewhat lacking in atmosphere. Soon enough, seeing that it was about time, Ge Dongxu stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should go."

"Hmm," Yuan Li actually worried she might not be able to control herself because she found Ge Dongxu's allure growing increasingly stronger, especially after drinking. Looking at Ge Dongxu, she didn't know why but she felt an impulsive yearning stirring within her, a feeling she'd never had for any other man before.

As she walked Ge Dongxu to the door, and he put on his shoes to leave, perhaps the alcohol took hold of her mind or maybe it was a surge of emotion, but she ultimately couldn't resist hugging him from behind, resting her face against his back, and murmuring, "Dongxu, I'm sorry, just let me hug you, just a hug is all I need!"

Ge Dongxu's body tensed up instantly and took a while to relax before he turned around to face and embrace her, a body that was warm and voluptuous like a bundle of fire.

Four lips met once again, just like the last time by the Shichahai lakeside, and this time, Ge Dongxu's hand moved down the exquisite curve of her waist to rest on Yuan Li's shapely hips.

"Dongxu, I'm sorry!" As Ge Dongxu's hand began to wander further, Yuan Li suddenly snapped out of it and pushed him away.

The push from Yuan Li brought Ge Dongxu back to reality, and he stood there stunned.

"I'm sorry, Dongxu. If you're feeling uncomfortable, I can help you, but we cannot..." Yuan Li said, looking at the bewildered Ge Dongxu, hating herself for the first time.

Why couldn't she be ten years younger? Why wasn't the first man she met him!

Now, how could her body be worthy of his purity?

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. Sister, you don't have to say that, it's actually my fault too," Ge Dongxu hurriedly waved his hand.

"You always make excuses for me," Yuan Li gave Ge Dongxu a glance, really wanting to hug him again, but in the end, she didn't dare to make a move.

"Okay, I have to go now. Call me if you need anything, good night!" It was Ge Dongxu who stepped forward and gently hugged her, kissed her forehead lightly, then opened the door and left.

Watching Ge Dongxu's retreating figure and feeling the warmth on her forehead, Yuan Li was completely entranced under the light.

...

Perhaps Cao Dapeng feared that delays could lead to trouble, Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory quickly acquired Dapeng Printing and Packaging Factory for a favorable price of fifteen million. Considering future development needs, Cheng Yazhou and his team also spent an additional million to purchase the fifty acres of land surrounding Dapeng Printing and Packaging Factory.

The loan Lin Jinnuo had applied for was approved at an unprecedented speed, leaving Lin Jinnuo so shocked that she hardly dared to believe it was real. She secretly marveled at how useful the Qinghe Herbal Tea major shareholder signboard was, unaware that it was Liu Branch Manager himself who, upon seeing Ge Dongxu's name, had personally expedited the matter with great urgency. Otherwise, just the major shareholder signboard of Qinghe Herbal Tea wouldn't have made Liu Branch Manager so eager to personally take charge of the process.

After all, he was the Branch Manager of a Level Two branch, which is equivalent to a full departmental position. In Ouzhou City, countless business owners beseech him for loans every day. Although the major shareholder of Qinghe Herbal Tea was influential, Liu Branch Manager might not necessarily feel obliged to show deference given their current strength.

The time soon arrived at mid-December, and that day, Ge Dongxu received a call from Tang Yahui saying that a batch of Jade had arrived and wanted him to find some time to go to the Provincial Capital to make a selection in person.

These days, Ge Dongxu's cultivation progress had been slow, and he was quite anxious. Hearing that a batch of Jade had arrived, he was naturally overjoyed and decided to take the train to the Provincial Capital on the Friday of that week.

The train arrived on time at eight o'clock in the morning, bringing Ge Dongxu to the Linzhou train station.

As soon as he came out of the train station, Ge Dongxu saw Liu Jiayao waving at him, dressed in a tender yellow trench coat and white high-heeled boots, looking exceptionally tall. A sense of warmth couldn't help but fill his heart.

"Annoying, you've grown taller again after a while!" She naturally and affectionately hooked her arm in Ge Dongxu's, only to realize that even with her high heels, she was still a bit shorter than Ge Dongxu's shoulder. Liu Jiayao pursed her lips, lightly hit Ge Dongxu, and chided him.

"Haha, since Sister doesn't like me getting taller, I'll just shrink back down," Ge Dongxu said, laughing as he crouched down slightly.

"Of course I like it when you grow tall and handsome, I just don't like it when you change so fast. But once you come to Linzhou for school next year and I can see you often, I won't think you're changing too quickly," Liu Jiayao gave Ge Dongxu a glance, pulled him up, and spoke.

"Then I'll come to the Provincial Capital whenever I have time," Ge Dongxu said, his heart warming upon hearing her words.

"That would be great!" Liu Jiayao nodded happily but then shook her head and said, "But that still won't do, you're at a critical moment with your exam preparations, you can't come to the Provincial Capital often and neglect your studies."

"No problem, I'm a top student!" Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"Still, you can't! Be good, listen to your sister," Liu Jiayao immediately countered him, then followed with a softer tone as she hurriedly touched Ge Dongxu's arm.

Seeing Liu Jiayao calling him "good" and to "listen to your sister," Ge Dongxu couldn't help feeling amused, yet for some reason, his heart felt sweet.

PS: Five chapters completed, continue to ask for monthly tickets and subscription support. Also, I've seen some readers complaining about slow updates; five chapters a day, ten thousand words, is really the limit for me already and is something unprecedented. Moreover, I'm practically typing the whole day and then posting all at once, without any reserved chapters. If someday I do have reserved chapters, I certainly will have a burst of releases, but recently this is truly all I can manage.
