I'm back in 1990

Chapter 707: Leaving on a whim

After taking a sip, Huang Xiaochuan savored it carefully and found that the wine was mellow and smooth, just as Yu Wei had said, it was indeed a good wine.

Judging from the taste of the liquor, it seemed to be Yanghe, but he didn't ask Yu Wei any further. The two brothers-in-law ate and chatted as they ate. Although the small restaurant was still a bit stuffy, it didn't affect their mood at all.

Before they knew it, more than an hour had passed, and the two bottles of wine Yu Wei had brought were almost empty. Slightly tipsy, Yu Wei's eyes began to glaze over. He suddenly asked, his voice tinged with alcohol, "Hey, do you remember when we were kids, you took me to catch snakes in the low-lying area south of the city?"

Huang Xiaochuan, who was also quite drunk, paused for a moment, but then laughed and pointed at Yu Wei, scolding him: "You still have the nerve to bring this up with me? You haven't forgotten what you did, have you? You scared your second sister with the snake you caught, and that scream of your second sister could be heard for miles! Because of this, I got into trouble too. My mom whipped my butt with a feather duster until it was swollen, and I had to sleep on my stomach for several nights in a row."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei also protested, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't wrong me! I didn't do anything to her, okay? I had just taken the snake out of my bag after I got back to my room when she pushed the door open and came in. Besides, your mom didn't beat you entirely because of this. It's because there are so many small ponds in that low-lying area south of the city, and people often drown in them. I remember clearly that while your mom was beating you, she was saying, 'Those who drown are all good swimmers. Let's see if you dare to do it again next time!'"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan instantly recalled the scene from that time and couldn't help but laugh. Back then, he and Yu Wei, two teenagers, were incredibly energetic. They rode their two old bicycles all over Qingjiang City, without a care for danger!

Suddenly, emboldened by the alcohol, Yu Wei said, "Tomorrow is Saturday, how about we go back tonight, stay in Qingjiang for a couple of days, and then come back?"

Huang Xiaochuan finally realized that Yu Wei had been feeling nostalgic. No wonder he felt something was off about the kid today. So that's why!

Huang Xiaochuan figured Yu Wei was really drunk, that he could come up with such a terrible idea, so he used his usual stalling tactics: "Okay, okay, how about this, let's finish our drinks and go home to sleep. I'll arrange a car to pick you up tomorrow and go home with you, okay?"

Huang Xiaochuan thought that once Yu Wei sobered up tomorrow, the matter would naturally be over. The two of them had experienced similar sudden impulses before.

Unexpectedly, this tactic failed today.

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan refused to go with him, Yu Wei, even more intoxicated, stiffened his neck and said to Huang Xiaochuan, "Fine, if you don't want to go, then don't! I'll go by myself!"

"Damn it!" Yu Wei's words immediately sobered Huang Xiaochuan up. He knew Yu Wei's temper; he was really capable of doing such a thing. The two of them had drunk so much, and Huang Xiaochuan didn't dare to think about what might happen if he had to travel to Qingjiang alone.

Thinking of this, and also because he was quite drunk, he immediately decided to go all out and have some fun with his brother-in-law. It had been a long time since he had done this, and Huang Xiaochuan even felt a surge of excitement.

"Okay! Let's do it your way. We'll leave right away. Anyway, the highway is open now, so it'll only take about five hours on the road. I'll show you around tomorrow, and we'll be back before dinner."

Huang Xiaochuan had done this kind of impulsive, spontaneous trip quite often before, so he was quite adept at it.

He called over Gao Song, who was eating and waiting at the next table, and gave him a few instructions, telling him to arrange the driver and entourage and to set off for Qingjiang immediately.

After getting on the bus, Huang Xiaochuan took out his phone and made a call to Yu Xiang.

"I have something to tell you. Your brother drank some alcohol today and insisted on going back to Qingjiang. I couldn't persuade him otherwise, and I was worried that something might happen to him on the way, so I went with him. I won't be going back tonight. Yu Wei drank too much. Call Tang Yuan later and tell her so she won't worry."

When Yu Xiang received the call, she could hardly believe it. These two people, who were a combined seventy years old, were acting as impulsively as teenagers.

She was furious! Her anger was simmering. But as angry as she was, there was nothing she could do about the two drunkards. She could only suppress her anger and tell them, "Be careful on the road. Tell the driver to drive carefully. Call me when you get to Qingjiang, or I won't sleep tonight."

"Okay, don't worry!" Huang Xiaochuan quickly hung up the phone.

After receiving the call from her sister-in-law, Tang Yuan was naturally very angry, but she couldn't make the two of them turn back. She could only suppress her anger for the time being and wait for Yu Wei to come back before settling accounts with him.

After speaking with Tang Yuan on the phone, Yu Xiang then dialed Yu Min's number.

"Sister?" Yu Min was very puzzled when she received Yu Xiang's call. Yu Xiang had never called at this time before. What was going on today?

Yu Xiang said to Yu Min on the phone, "Your brother-in-law and Yu Wei both drank too much. I don't know what got into Yu Wei, but he insisted on going back to Qingjiang late at night. Your brother-in-law had no choice but to go with him. They're on their way now, and I estimate they'll arrive around midnight. You and Zhiyuan, could you please take care of them and book them a hotel?"

"Huh?" Yu Min was shocked to hear this. She couldn't believe that her brother-in-law and brother could do such a thing. Did they think they were teenagers or in their twenties?

Surprised as she was, Yu Min immediately agreed: "Sister! I understand! Don't worry, I'll have Zhiyuan book a hotel for them right away, and I'll call brother-in-law to let him know once it's booked."

While the two sisters were on the phone, Yue Zhiyuan, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV with Yu Min, had already heard the whole story. Seeing that Yu Min had hung up on her sister-in-law, he grinned and asked, "Brother-in-law and Yu Wei drank too much? Coming here so late at night?"

Yu Min rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Alright, you already know, why are you still asking? Hurry up and call the Kunlun Hotel to book a few rooms."

Upon hearing this, Yue Zhiyuan immediately got up to change his clothes, adding, "Anyway, it's not far. I'll go there myself and make the arrangements in person; that would be more reassuring."

At this moment, Yu Min added, "Book a few more rooms. Your brother-in-law will definitely have other people with him, so be sure to book a few more."

"Understood!" After changing his clothes, Yue Zhiyuan left home and headed straight for the Kunlun Hotel.
