Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Chapter 216 - 216 Coconut Water Tastes Great!

It was night time.

Yan Luhan finally was done with his work. When he got into the car, a message came in. 

In the group chat of them, Feng Alin had posted a photo, more like a selfie. He, Wang Haixiao, Zhou Lei and other people were there. But the person who caught his eyes was the woman who was busy pouring water in the glass.

The car had already started to drive. He glanced at her face and sent a message after thinking for a while.

Feng Alin was currently wearing a cap and black sunglasses. He was sucking the wine Ji Yanli gave him with a straw. The man had cut the mask in the middle, so he didn't have any difficulty doing that.

Ding~ 

A message came in his phone. Not just his, everyone present there got a message but others were too busy to bother. 

When he checked, he saw someone had sent a message into their group. 

[?]

When he checked the ID, he frowned. "Why did the extinct person send a message in the group?"

Wang Haixiao didn't give any attention even though he had heard him. He was busy talking with Ji Yanli and others.

[We are at the Riverside open food stall~] Feng Alin just sent it and didn't think anything else. Then he saw his manager was calling him.

"Hey, Alin, turn off your phone. Your manager will come out from your phone at this rate. Hahaha~" 

Ji Yanli clapped her hands and chuckled. Wang Haixiao took away her wine glass. Then he poured pure coconut water in it and then placed it beside her. He even took her bottle of wine and poured coconut water into it.

Zhou Lei saw his signal. Only then he moved away from Ji Yanli and stopped blocking her sight.

Then all the men went to sit together while Ji Yanli sat beside Wang Haixiao while her right side had two empty seats. 

Chen Shubin saw the boss of the food stall finally done setting the fire. He stood up and went to give orders. 

Ji Yanli saw him going away. She hurriedly said loudly, "Chen, I want two kgs of meat. With extra chilies and sauce."

Feng Alin intervened this time, "Sis Ji! Yanli sis, I can't eat spicy things. If something happens to my stomach, I will lose a lot."

Ji Yanli turned at him. She stood up and poured more wine into his glass. Feng Alin took a big sip when the glass was nearly on the verge of overflowing.

"Don't worry, little kid. Sis will dip the meat in cold water for you to eat. Poor thing! All your youth is wasted~"

The slightly drunk Ji Yanli was forced to sit down when Wang Haixiao snatched her bottle and forced her to sit. He gave her the glass and said, "Drink yours." 

He also took a straw and put it into the glass. 

"Tsk tsk! Haixiao is so fierce~ me is scared~" Ji Yanli took her glass and took a sip. Then both she and Feng Alin glanced at each other. 

"Eh?! This!" Ji Yanli glanced at her blood-red glass. Then she turned at Feng Alin.

Wang Haixiao muttered as he drank his own white wine, "What?"

"It tastes different...:"

Wang Haixiao glanced at her seriously and said, "You are drinking with your straw. That's why it tastes different to you." He turned towards Feng Alin and asked, "Isn't it true Alin?"

Feng Alin sucked his wine. 'Why do I feel like all of them are waiting for my answer?' He glanced down on his glass and muttered, "Is it coconut wine?"

Ji Yanli caught his voice. She paused and asked in bewilderment, "Eh?! Ehhh?! It's not. Why are you asking?"

When he wanted to say it tastes like coconut water, he saw the other men staring at him. Then, from his other side, Mu Jiang poked his hand. 

When both of them joined their eyes, Mu Jiang asked stiffly, "Doesn't your manager even let you have coconut water?! You are even mistaking this wine's taste as that?"

Only then he saw the warning in Mu Jiang's eyes. Feng Alin turned at Ji Yanli and nodded hurriedly, "I think I made a mistake. It doesn't taste anything else."

Ji Yanli, however, wasn't looking at him. She picked her straw and put it down. Then she gulped down the whole glass and muttered with satisfaction, "... It tastes great though~" 

All of the men turned silent. Wang Haixiao took away the bottle from her reach and said gravely, "If you continue to drink, forget about food then. I will tell the boss of the stall to prepare anything."

"Ahh, don't. I won't drink then. Here you go." She poured water in her glass and muttered, "You all… also won't drink until I allow you."

"Alright." Mu Jiang and Feng Alin wanted to protest but they turned silent when Wang Haixiao warned them with his eyes.

Chen Shubin returned and sat down. "I have put the order as five kg of spicy meat and 1 kg of without spice."

Feng Alin opened his mouth and said as if that man had done something worthy of praise, "Chen is the best! That's why you are the scholar of our group~"

Feng Alin didn't remove his mask the entire time. So while he was talking, his face looked as if a black duck was moving his mouth.

Chen Shubin waved his hand and said, "Forget it." Then his waving hand reached for the bottle of wine but Ji Yanli spoke out loudly even before the man beside her could, "Dog Chen, don't you dare break your promise. You all can't drink until I give permission!"

"What is this now?!" As Chen Shubin looked at them, the others averted their eyes. Then he noticed that even Ji Yanli's bottle was there. "Oh, I see…"

Without any choice, the man picked the canned coconut water. Before Ji Yanli and other's watchful eyes, he poured his glass and drank.
