Chapter 478: 9 Junior Brother Has Been Kidnapped Again (41)
Inn
Xu Xianchen dismounted, led the horse to the stable, gave the inn's groom an ingot of silver, and told the groom to feed the horse some good hay before entering the inn.
Xu Xianchen walked into the inn, and the waiter greeted him warmly, "Sir, do you want to stop by or stay overnight?"
Xu Xianchen pressed down the brim of his hat and said, "We'll stay in a hotel even if we're just stopping by."
The waiter led Xu Xianchen to an empty table and said, "Okay, please take a seat first."
After Xu Xianchen sat down, the waiter asked, "What would you like to eat, sir?"
Xu Xianchen put the bag aside and said, "Just two stir-fried side dishes."
The waiter replied, "Okay, please wait a moment."
The dishes were soon served. Xu Xianchen took off his veil and was about to start eating when someone called him.
A man wearing a veiled hat came towards him and said, "Sir, there are no empty tables in the inn. Can you give me half of the table? In return, all the dishes you ordered will be put on my account."
Xu Xianchen listened to the voice of the person in front of her, which was as gentle as the breeze and bright as the moon, and nodded subconsciously.
After everyone sat down, Xu Xianchen came back to his senses. The man took off his veil and revealed his true face. Contrary to his voice, the man's appearance was very ordinary.
Xu Xianchen felt something was inexplicably wrong, but didn't think much about it.
The man thanked him politely, "Thank you very much, sir. I am Meng Yanjun."
Xu Xianchen waved his hand, "You're welcome, it's just a small favor, Brother Meng, don't take it to heart, and Brother Meng, don't spend any money."
Meng Yanjun didn't say any more polite words, but quietly settled the bill in advance.
When Xu Xianchen went to pay the bill, the innkeeper told him that the bill had already been settled. Xu Xianchen wanted to return the money to Meng Yanjun, but Meng Yanjun had disappeared long ago, so Xu Xianchen had no choice but to give up.
Since he didn't have to pay for the meal, Xu Xianchen had to solve his own accommodation problem. "Boss, I want a superior room."
"Sir, the first-class room costs one tael of silver a day. How many days do you want to stay?"
Xu Xianchen thought about it and realized that it would take about three days to complete the task. Xu Xianchen took out three taels of silver and said, "Set a time limit of three days first."
After the boss finished recording the bill, he handed the key and wooden sign to Xu Xianchen, "Please go upstairs."
Xu Xianchen went upstairs and found Room No. 2 on the wooden sign, then unlocked it with the key. Just as Xu Xianchen was about to go in, the door of Room No. 1 next to it was pushed open from the inside.
Xu Xianchen turned around and saw Meng Yanjun, with whom she had just had dinner.
Xu Xianchen greeted him, "Brother Meng, what a coincidence!"
Meng Yanjun was also a little surprised, "Mr. Xu?"
Xu Xianchen asked enthusiastically, "Brother Meng, I'll go in and clean up first, how about I come to have a drink with you later?"
Xu Xianchen actually knew that his question was a bit rude. Although he was young, he was not so rash. It was just that Meng Yanjun had a kind of affinity that made him unconsciously want to get close to her.
Another reason was that Meng Yanjun paid for him, and he wanted to treat Meng Yanjun to a drink as a reward.
Meng Yanjun had the same idea. Xu Xianchen had just helped her, so it was difficult for Meng Yanjun to refuse. She could only nod and agree, "Okay, then I will wait for Master Xu in the room."
Xu Xianchen smiled and said, "Okay, then Brother Meng, wait for me."
Meng Yanjun looked at Xu Xianchen's pure smile and suddenly felt that it would be nice to make friends and have a drink together occasionally.
It was not until Meng Yanjun went upstairs carrying two jars of Jiannanchun that he realized that he had actually bought two jars of wine just for someone else's polite words.
But since the wine has been bought, take it back.
After Xu Xianchen had packed up, he went to look for Meng Yanjun excitedly. When he reached Meng Yanjun's door and was about to knock, Xu Xianchen remembered that he had come to have a drink with Meng Yanjun, but he hadn't bought any wine yet!
Xu Xianchen patted his forehead and planned to turn around to buy some wine. As soon as he turned around, Meng Yanjun's voice sounded behind him, "Mr. Xu, where are you going?"
Meng Yanjun didn't know why she was waiting in the room for an agreement that was not really an agreement, and even used her inner strength to eavesdrop on the movements in the next room.
Meng Yanjun had already heard the sound of Xu Xianchen opening the door, and the sound of Xu Xianchen's footsteps as he walked to his door. He also heard Xu Xianchen muttering in a low voice, "I forgot to buy some wine."
Xu Xianchen turned around and said, "Brother Meng, are you going out?"
Meng Yanjun shook his head, "No, I just want to go out and get some fresh air."
Xu Xianchen nodded, "Okay, then Brother Meng, wait for me, I'll go downstairs to buy some wine."
Meng Yanjun called out to Xu Xianchen, "Mr. Xu, there's no need to buy wine. I have two jars of Jiannanchun here."
Xu Xianchen retracted his steps and said, "Then Brother Meng, how about we go to the roof to drink?"
Meng Yanjun asked in confusion: "Why do we have to go to the roof to drink?"
Xu Xianchen said as a matter of course: "Brother Meng, don't you want to go out and get some fresh air?"
Meng Yanjun just made up an excuse just now, but now it has to be true.
Meng Yanjun followed up with the suggestion and said, "Drinking on the roof will disturb others' rest. Why don't we go outside to drink under the big banyan tree? We can also enjoy the moonlight. What do you think, Mr. Xu?"
Of course Xu Xianchen had no objection, "Okay, I'll do as Brother Meng says."
After three rounds of drinking, Xu Xianchen became a little tipsy and his words gradually lost control.
Xu Xianchen didn't know why he started to inquire about Meng Yanjun's affairs, "How old is Brother Meng now? Is he married?"
Meng Yanjun didn't know why Xu Xianchen suddenly asked this, but there was nothing wrong with answering it.
Meng Yanjun answered truthfully, "I am twenty-three years old this year and still unmarried."
Xu Xianchen nodded, "Then Brother Meng is older than me, so I should call you Brother Meng from now on, okay?"
Meng Yanjun didn't say it was good, nor did he say it was bad.
Xu Xianchen was already drunk and a little unconscious. He didn't know whether Meng Yanjun had said anything or not. He continued to ask, "Why is Brother Meng here?"
Meng Yanjun was slightly stunned when he heard this, "I need to go to Yucheng to do something."
Xu Xianchen's eyes lit up, "Brother Meng is going to Yucheng too? Why don't we go together? I want to go to Yucheng too."
Meng Yanjun knew that he should refuse. What he was going to do was not convenient for him to bring others with him, and he had never traveled with anyone before.
But Meng Yanjun looked at Xu Xianchen's bright eyes and couldn't say no no matter what.
Meng Yanjun didn't know why he nodded in the end.
Xu Xianchen was very happy that Meng Yanjun agreed to him, and then he successfully got himself completely drunk.
Meng Yanjun looked at Xu Xianchen who was drunk on her shoulder, and unconsciously raised her hand to touch Xu Xianchen's red face.
After realizing what he was doing, Meng Yanjun quickly withdrew his hand, and then looked at his palm and fell into deep thought. How could he be so defenseless towards someone he met for the first time, and even... want to get close to the other person.
Xu Xianchen was so drunk that he had completely lost consciousness and could only mumble some inaudible words.
Meng Yanjun collected his thoughts, picked up Xu Xianchen beside him, and used light skills to climb through the window into Xu Xianchen's room.
After Meng Yanjun put Xu Xianchen down, he planned to leave.
But just when Meng Yanjun was about to leave, Xu Xianchen grabbed Meng Yanjun's hand and refused to let go.
Meng Yanjun wanted to brush away Xu Xianchen's hand, but Xu Xianchen held on tightly. Every time Meng Yanjun took a step, Xu Xianchen's body moved an inch. Seeing that Xu Xianchen was about to fall off the bed, Meng Yanjun had no choice but to stop.
Meng Yanjun had never met such a rogue person, but he couldn't reason with a drunkard.
Meng Yanjun could only sit beside Xu Xianchen's bed and take care of Xu Xianchen all night.
