She buried her head in the steak that had just been delivered. I haven't eaten anything since last night, so I'm starving. The steak was grilled just right, and the temperature was suitable. The gravy was also very rich, and it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The cooking skills of the Atobe family are not bad. He ate one bite after another in satisfaction. When I looked up, I saw Atobe holding a glass of red wine and looking at me with interest. However, I couldn't care less about Atobe at this moment. My eyes were all focused on the wine glass in his hand.
The red wine in the glass was bright, clear, and shiny. The edge of the wine was brownish-red. One could tell at a glance that it was good wine.
"Do you want to try it?"
"Yes!" He nodded without thinking and took the wine from Atobe.
He looked at the color of the wine carefully. It was clear, bright, and light in color. The edge of the wine was brownish-red. It seemed to be aged. He then gently swirled the wine glass, allowing the fragrance of the wine to completely spread out. The wine fragrance was mellow. He took a sip gently and rotated his tongue, allowing the wine to come into contact with his mouth. Then, he slowly swallowed it and carefully tasted its fragrance.
"It's a 1983 Bordeaux! It was rare to see red wine that was more than 20 years old on the market now! Atobe, your family has a lot of good stuff!”I said happily.
Atobe was surprised.
"You know how to taste wine?"
"Yes! However, I usually drink white wine and not red wine.”
He took another sip. The wine was mellow and the taste of the wine was lingering. It was indeed good wine. He narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully felt the wonderful feeling of the wine slowly sliding down his throat into his stomach. The rich wine fragrance rose from his throat. That feeling was really wonderful. Drinking wine and eating steak was indeed enjoyable.
"When did you start drinking?”Atobe asked as he elegantly sipped his red wine.
"He probably started drinking it when he was very young! If he remembered correctly, his mother had taught him how to taste wine and brew wine!”I replied casually as I continued to eat my steak.
"Your mother taught you to drink since you were young?”Atobe asked in disbelief.
"Is there something wrong?" I looked up at Atobe in confusion, not knowing why he was so surprised.
"Doesn't your mother know that Japanese law states that people under the age of 20 are not allowed to drink? Moreover, alcohol was not good for a growing body!”Atobe frowned and said seriously.
I muttered with a puzzled look,"Japan has such a rule?" Why do you even have to control drinking?" Then, she suddenly reacted and said,"But you're not even twenty years old yet!" Why can I drink?"
"I have to learn to drink because I have to attend social events.”At this point, Atobe looked a little impatient.
"You're not an adult yet, right? She had to attend social events at such a young age and play tricks with a group of business foxes?”I asked in surprise. There was no legal effect on the words of an underage person! Moreover, it was not easy to deal with those old foxes in the business world.
Atobe chuckled and said,"This is something that every family's heir must experience."”
"Then you must be under a lot of pressure! Fortunately, I don't have to deal with this kind of thing.”He looked at Atobe sympathetically and continued to eat the steak on his plate. Fortunately, my mother was smart enough to not start a company or anything. Instead, she bought two commercial streets. I only need to sign a contract and collect rent regularly.
After dinner, Atobe said that he had something to deal with, so I wandered around their big house. It was not easy being the heir of a big family! She had to deal with so many things at such a young age. Poor child! His childhood must have been very unhappy. However, Chujian and I are about the same. Everyone is just the pot calling the kettle black. He suddenly thought of something. Could it be that he was dealing with the matter in the hospital ward? It was indeed not easy to find a suitable excuse to cover up the complete destruction of the ward. Moreover, so many valuable facilities were destroyed…At the thought of this, my expression froze. Atobe! The heavens are my witness, I really didn't do it on purpose!
Unknowingly, he walked into the Atobe family's study room. He opened the door curiously and saw that there were quite a few books inside! Seeing that there was no one around, she gently opened the door and went in. Most of the books inside are foreign books. I heard that Atobe Junior High School used to be from Europe. I majored in ancient literature in university, mainly studying ancient Chinese culture and history. No wonder our tastes are so different. Although I had studied some western literature and history, this world was different from the one I knew before. Thinking about it, I found some books related to European history and culture to read. Most of the books in Atobe's collection were in the original language. There were very few translated versions, but I could still understand English. As for those in Greek and German, I stayed away from them.
Sitting on the floor under the window, he quietly read a book and seriously experienced the development and changes of the distant European culture. The sunlight shone through the window and made her feel warm. Gradually, the sunlight outside the window gradually darkened. There was not enough light, so I had a little difficulty looking at it. Just as she was about to look for the light switch, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor. Oh no! Shocked, I quickly jumped up and picked up the book beside me and put it back in its original position.
Where could he hide? I stood in the study and looked around. Right, the window! I walked to the window and pulled the curtains to cover myself. At this moment, the footsteps had already reached the door. I gently opened the window and quietly climbed out. I stepped on the windowsill and closed the window from the outside. Then, I climbed up the water pipe that was more than a meter away from the window. At this moment, I heard the sound of the study door opening. He lowered his head and looked down. Nine meters? The second floor of the Atobe family was already as tall as the third floor of an ordinary family! Why did you raise the ceiling so high? I grumbled in my heart. He had no choice. His internal injuries had not recovered yet, so he could not use his qinggong to go down. He could only crawl slowly.
He took a deep breath and began to climb down carefully, trying not to make any noise. Unfortunately, it seems that I have been unlucky recently. Just as I took a step, the gorgeous leather shoe on my foot rushed towards the embrace of Mother Earth under the effect of gravity. The sound of his shoes landing on the ground was very clear. The window of the study room opened with a whoosh. I reflexively turned around and saw Atobe sticking his head out of the window. It was over, he had been caught!
I lay on the water pipe, not knowing what to do. Atobe suddenly shouted with a livid face,"Stupid woman, what are you doing?"
This sudden roar scared me so much that my hands trembled and I almost fell off. Atobe was also shocked and quickly said,""Hold on tight and don't move!"
Atobe jumped onto the windowsill and held onto the windowsill with one hand."Don't move, I'll pull you over!"
Seeing how nervous Atobe was, I carefully extended my hand. Atobe grabbed my hand and gently pulled me into his arms. Then, he hugged me and jumped. We returned to the study.
"You unglamorous woman, what are you doing here? Huh?" Atobe asked sternly, his expression extremely ugly.
I stood barefooted in front of him and didn't dare to raise my head. Hearing his question, the words " leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist " immediately flashed through my mind. I immediately began to admit my mistake.
"I'm sorry, I won't dare to enter your study room again. I promise there won't be a next time…"
"That's not what I'm talking about!" Atobe interrupted me.
"Huh? If it's not this, then what is it?" I looked at Atobe blankly. In the traditional thinking of China, the study had always been an important place. Outsiders were not allowed to enter as they pleased because a lot of important data was mostly stored in the study. Even things like cleaning the study were usually done by trusted people. I ran into Atobe's study without permission to look for books, so I naturally felt guilty. But if he wasn't angry about this, then why?
Atobe's expression became even uglier. He stared at me for a while before saying,"Why did you climb out of the window? Don't you know that it's very dangerous?”
" Well, I came here to look for books to read, but when I heard someone coming, I wanted to sneak out of the window…"
When Atobe heard my words, a cross appeared above his head and he shouted,"Are you a thief? Why did he sneak out? What if he fell down? Do you want to sleep in the hospital for another three days? Huh?"
" I thought that the study room was restricted, so…" I explained softly. She secretly raised her head and glanced at him. It seemed that she was really angry this time.
The sun had already set, and the sky was gradually darkening. Atobe and I just stood there facing each other without saying a word. Atobe was probably so angry that he didn't want to talk, and I was feeling guilty. Although I don't know why he's so angry, the reason is still me.
It was early autumn, and the wind was already beginning to cool. The window had not been closed just now, and now the sky was dark. The wind blew in through the window, and I couldn't help but shiver. Atobe walked over and closed the window. Then, without saying anything, he picked me up and walked out.
I was shocked by his sudden action and was about to struggle down, but I stopped moving after being glared at by him and turned my head to the side. Guilty! As expected, one couldn't have a good character. Otherwise, if someone caught him, he would be at the mercy of others.
Atobe sent me to my room and left without saying a word. I sat on the bed and couldn't understand why he was angry. Call it a misunderstanding! But I've explained it clearly! I didn't do it on purpose. Forget it, if he couldn't figure it out, then he wouldn't think about it. I kicked off my other shoe and tugged at my clothes. This kind of small dress looked good but was useless. It was not practical at all, and it was not comfortable to wear at all. Why would Atobe like this kind of clothes? If it wasn't for this outfit, I would have gone down from there long ago. Depressed! As expected, when people were unlucky, even cold water would be stuck in their teeth.
In the next few days, Atobe's face was cold, and I didn't go to the study again. Every day after Atobe came back from school, he would either practice tennis or be busy. He wanted to apologize to him but didn't have the chance to do so. After five days, the doctor who came to check on me finally said that my condition had stabilized. I just needed to take care of myself and not get angry.
After returning home after half a month, he felt much more relaxed. As expected, Chinese architecture was the most pleasing to the eye! Although the Atobe family was very beautiful, the Western European style was still too flashy for me. There was no need to mention the hospital. The smell of formalin that would never go away always reminded me of corpses. Moreover, there were many people who died in the hospital, and the Yin energy was heavy, making me feel very uncomfortable.
He took a good bath in the hot spring in the backyard, changed into a loose and comfortable Han costume, and made himself a cup of Biluochun tea. Looking at the lush and lively backyard, it was really a fairy-like life!
