She sat down next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder, “Why are you drinking in the middle of the day? Won’t you get a headache?” Fang Junjie chuckled, “I drink when I want to. Actually, I think this stuff isn’t bad. A little doesn’t reach the lungs, too much makes you uncomfortable, but just the right amount gives you this feeling of floating and transcending. No wonder so many people like it.” Fu Xiaotang sighed; Fang Junjie must have something on his mind; he usually wouldn’t talk like this. She straightened up and glared at him. “Is that so? Then I’ll try it too!” With that, she grabbed the cup from his hand, tilted her head back, and drank down most of the wine without leaving a single drop. Fang Junjue frowned, “Why are you acting like a child, snatching my things? There are cups over there; if you want to drink, go pour your own!” He reached out to take the cup back, but Fu Xiaotang had already anticipated this and hid the cup behind her back, tossing it onto the blanket. Before Fang Junjue could react, she leaned forward and tightly hugged his arm. Fang Junjue was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, “Hey, what’s this for?” He reached over to stroke her hair, “Are you drunk? You have a lower tolerance than me?” Fu Xiaotang looked up with rosy cheeks, her eyes watery, and her voice soft and tender, murmuring, “Azun, I missed you.” Fang Junjue, who had been drinking to drown some troubles, felt a stir in his heart seeing her like this. He freed his arm and embraced her back. The two stayed like that for a while until Fu Xiaotang softly called out, “Azun?”
“Hmm?” Fang Junjue responded.
“Why are you drinking today? You never do,” Fu Xiaotang asked gently.
Fang Junjue sighed, “Just ran into some tricky situations.”
Fu Xiaotang sat up, raising her eyebrows in an exaggerated tone, “Something that troubles Young Master Junjue must be a significant issue.” Seeing her act so seriously, Fang Junjue couldn’t help but laugh and sigh, “Ah, Xiaotang, sometimes the way you talk really satisfies my vanity. I appreciate it.” Fu Xiaotang also laughed, nudging him, “Tell me about it.”
