Once she sat down, Di Fuyi pushed over a glass of wine and said, "This is for you."
Gu Xijiu always felt that he did not have good intentions. She looked at the glass and the wine inside, before looking at Di Fuyi again. She did not understand what went wrong with him.
He told her before that he never shared his glass with other people, but now…
Could it be that he had argued with Yun Qingluo and deliberately used her to irk her?
The material of the glass was extremely special. Gu Xijiu could not distinguish it but she knew that it must be very rare and precious.
The pattern on the glass was special too. If it was carved by the carving master, it might need three years to complete it.
Would he throw it away after she had used such a precious glass?
She had heard that once his belonging was used by other people, he would ruin it without so much as a second thought.
She thought about the other wine set that was destroyed by him and hesitated for a moment.
"What’s wrong? Are you afraid that I would poison you?" Di Fuyi ignored the stares from the people around. He used his hand to support his chin and looked at Gu Xijiu.
"No, you have misunderstood me." Gu Xijiu took up the glass to drink the wine and returned the empty glass back to him.
She did not want to think too much. If he would like to destroy it, it had nothing to do with her too.
Now, Di Fuyi felt satisfied. He took up his own glass to drink, "This drink is considered your farewell gift."
"Thank you." Gu Xijiu casually thanked him, but she did not really mean what she said.
Since it was a farewell, other people brought her presents too. Most of them had passed her the presents, which were all precious and rare. Basically, most of them were for self-defense and detoxification. Even the newcomer, Yun Qingluo, gave her a bottle of good medicine for sore relief.
As for Celestial Master Zuo, he had nothing to give her but a glass of wine. It was far too stingy of him.
When Celestial Master Zuo asked Gu Xijiu to sit down and drink with him, everyone was shocked and surprised, until he said the last sentence - everyone was relieved.
Yun Qingluo who sat opposite also raised her glass and gave Gu Xijiu a toast, "Miss Gu, here's to wishing you a safe journey. By the time you return to him, I will treat you a meal again."
"Thank you." Gu Xijiu thanked her too and indicated the servant beside her to bring her wine set over for her.
She only poured the wine from Di Fuyi’s jug for him, but not for herself.
Based on what he said, he had only allowed her to drink one glass. If she drank the second glass she might trigger his anger and scolded her on the spot. She did not want to be embarrassed in public.
Thus it was safe for her to use her own wine set.
Di Fuyi looked at her. Although they were sitting very close to each other, she sat very straight and kept a distance of an arm's length from him. Apparently, she deliberately kept her distance to avoid suspicion…
He had a deep thought. He raised his hand and the wine jug on the table floated up and poured wine into her glass automatically. Then he pushed the glass in front of her, "I have given you a toast just now, don’t you want to give me one in return?"
Gu Xijiu remained silent. She had not even drunk the wine toasted from Yun Qingluo yet, and now he wanted to cut the queue. Was that the right thing to do?
She hesitated for a while. However, Di Fuyi had raised the glass and stared at her. Obviously, he was waiting for her to give him a toast.
This guy was fussier and hard to trifle with. Therefore, Gu Xijiu had to smile to apologize to Yun Qingluo, before raising her glass for a toast to Di Fuyi.
The wine offered by Di Fuyi was very nice. It was not making her drunk but even more sober instead. She was a little bit tipsy just now but the effect had now vanished.
At this time the servant had finally brought her wine set over and put it in front of her.
Gu Xijiu sighed in relief. When she was about to pour herself a glass of wine to toast to Yun Qingluo, Di Fuyi who sat beside her suddenly said, "You don’t like my wine?"
"… No, I like it…"
"Then why would you want to change your drink?"
"I… Can I always drink your wine?" Gu Xijiu asked uncertainly.
"You can for tonight."
Alright, no Gu Xijiu was resting assured!
In fact, the wine prepared by Emperor Xuan was excellent, but when compared to the wine prepared by Di Fuyi, it was only half as good. Thus, naturally, Gu Xijiu was more than happy to drink his wine.
Therefore, she poured another glass and clinked it with Yun Qingluo's.
A small incident had finally passed. The hall was back to normal and was noisy again.
However, it was only the surface.
The interaction between Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi had been a question mark in everyone’s mind. It was just that everyone hid it well on the outside.
Some people continued to come and gave a toast to Gu Xijiu. Since there were so many people who wanted to drink with her, she did not finish it entirely but only had a small sip of the wine.
However, because there were too many people, despite her drinking just a sip with everyone, she had finished six glasses of wine!
During this period, she also poured wine for Di Fuyi several times.
His jug of wine was bottomless. Regardless of how many times Gu Xijiu poured the wine, it was always full so Gu Xijiu could drink without worries.
Rong Che suddenly stood up and lifted his hand with a wine glass toward Gu Xijiu. He laughed, "Xijiu, I didn’t have time to give you a toast when you were sitting next to me. It was my fault, let me drink two glasses as punishment, and you can drink freely."
He then drained the two glasses of wine continuously.
Since he was so generous, Gu Xijiu did not want to drink freely too, thus, she filled her glass to the brim. When she wanted to drink it, a hand pressed onto her glass to stop her, "Do you want to go into the Dark Forest drunk?"
His palm was warm, so warm that it seeped into her heart through her skin.
Gu Xijiu slightly stiffed. She tried to withdraw from the hand but failed.
Di Fuyi immediately took the glass away from her hand and said casually, "You are not a drunkard. Why would you want to drink so much? Those people who want to give you toast after toast must not have good intentions…"
Everyone remained silent.
He glanced through the crowd and said loudly, "Whoever who still wants to give her a toast, please step forward, all together."
Of course, no one would dare to go over.
Even Rong Che was scared too. He coughed and said, "Xijiu, I think you don’t need to drink anymore. Save your energy for your journey into the Dark Forest tomorrow."
Everyone adhered to the agreement.
At this point, other than those people who were not sensitive enough, everyone could vaguely sense the unusual relationship between Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu…
It seemed to be a bit ambiguous…
Was it possible?
Di Fuyi who had never been tempted by anything, was attracted by a little girl?
Although this little person was very capable, there were a lot more ladies who were more capable than she was in the past few years and was even prettier too. Di Fuyi had never been attracted to anyone until now…
