"Come, Xiaoxi, your favorite sweet and sour spare ribs."

At the dining table, Wen's mother put a piece of ribs into Lu Xi's bowl and said, "Eat more, you have really lost weight. Is the food at school not to your liking?"

"No, I eat well at school," Lu Xi replied while eating.

Thinking this way, Lu Xi looked up and unexpectedly met Wen Qiuhuan's gaze.

Wen Qiuhuan seemed to have been staring at her all along, meeting Lu Xi's gaze without any avoidance. Lu Xi felt a shiver in her heart, almost choking on her food, but she casually looked away and took a sip of the fruit wine next to her to disguise her discomfort.

It must be said that the fruit wine was really delicious.

The fruit flavor was pure and rich, as if tasting the juicy flesh of fresh lychee, refreshing and not too strong. Lu Xi had drunk alcohol before, but never something so tasty.

She couldn't help but take several more sips.

Lu Xi had thought that Wen's father would be a silent and reserved person at the dinner table, but to her surprise, he initiated several conversations.

Although most of the topics were about his two sons' business.

Lu Xi noticed that Wen's father asked Wen Qingmo more frequently, probably because he was the designated successor.

Although Wen's father was serious, Wen's mother occasionally spoke kindly, making the meal not too dull.

Lu Xi couldn't join in the conversation and didn't want to, so she simply blocked out their conversation, eating and drinking, finishing almost two bottles of fruit wine.

The chef hired by the Wen family was truly professional. Even for simple home-cooked dishes, they were prepared with great taste and presentation. Lu Xi even ate several bites of spinach, which she usually didn't like.

The sky darkened, and the clock on the wall gradually pointed to eight o'clock, signaling the end of the meal.

"Oh, Xiaoxi, drink less!" Lu Xi was eating when Wen's mother lightly tapped her arm and said, "This alcohol content is not low. What if you get drunk?"

With Wen's mother's words, everyone at the table turned their gaze towards her.

Lu Xi: ?

She was a bit confused and then realized that she was feeling a bit dizzy and light-headed. Lu Xi took the bottle of fruit wine and turned it around, only to see that it contained over ten percent alcohol content.

Wow.

How come this fruit wine has such a high alcohol content?

Unfortunately, she still hasn't tasted it.

Lu Xi thought that this was the kind of fruit wine she had drunk before, with an alcohol content in the single digits or even less than 0. 1.

I wonder how well the original owner of this body can handle alcohol.

Lu Xi quickly put the bottle back, trying to minimize the damage, but her head was already starting to feel dizzy. She stood up and glanced at the time: "Uncle, Aunt, it's already eight o'clock, so I'll leave first."

"Don't go, why don't you just sleep here," Aunt Wen grabbed her, "It's already late, what's the rush to go back? Besides, your room is regularly cleaned by the servants, so you can just sleep there."

Wen Qingmo glanced at her, pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.

"I don't have any clean clothes to change into," Lu Xi said, her voice starting to slur.
