Prosecutor vs. Minister: A Battle of Wits-Chapter 107 - 105: Would You Like a Sip of Erguotou?

Before her butt even touched the chair, Jiang Tong hurriedly started to eat.

Today she had only had a bowl of porridge, and after finishing her noon duties, she went straight to find Bao Nan, skipping lunch entirely.

So now she was starving, and decorum was the last thing on her mind.

Seeing her devour her food, Bao Nan’s face showed a hint of helplessness.

"Slow down."

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Jiang Tong slowly stopped.

She awkwardly coughed a few times, and every movement following was in line with the ladylike etiquette she had learned back in the Jiang Family.

After all, the person in front of her...

Was someone she liked.

Plus, she wasn’t sure what kind of girls Bao Nan liked.

So it’s better to be careful and not leave a bad impression; otherwise, she’d be out of luck.

If Bao Nan knew what she was thinking now, he might have exploded and pinned her against the wall for a fierce kiss.

But unfortunately, he had no idea.

Halfway through the meal, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in." Bao Nan looked up, eyebrows slightly furrowed, seemingly displeased with the interruption of their two-person world.

As his words fell, Shen Xiu popped his head through the crack in the door, speaking cautiously, "Um... Sister Tong, Minister Bo, well, the village is having its annual gathering, and the village chief asked me to invite you over... what do you think..."

As Shen Xiu spoke, his leg unconsciously moved outward.

Seeing Minister Bo’s gloomy face, he might have interrupted these two’s moment, right?

Upon hearing this, Bao Nan’s lips moved slightly as he thought of Jiang Tong’s situation and was about to refuse.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Tong interrupted him directly, her eyes glowing with excitement.

"Gathering!? Is it fun? If it’s fun, I’m in!"

Saying this, Jiang Tong jumped up, completely forgetting about pretending her leg hurt.

Watching her hop away excitedly, Bao Nan raised an eyebrow thoughtfully and then slowly stood up himself.

"..."

West Asia Village holds an annual bonfire party celebrating the whole village.

And this time, by chance, it coincided with the visitors’ arrival, so the village chief warmly welcomed them.

Jiang Tong raised her head, curiously observing her surroundings, with Shen Xiu standing beside her.

"Sister Tong, why don’t you go up and give it a try?" He scratched his chin, his eyes full of playful mischief.

A large bonfire crackled before them, with villagers of all ages dancing happily around it.

Jiang Tong smacked her lips and found a spot to sit down, peeling an orange out of boredom, "I think I’ll pass."

Mainly, she wasn’t in the mood right now; otherwise, she would be the most enthusiastic dancer among them.

"Sister Tong, what’s wrong? You look troubled." Chen Qianye smiled as he sat next to her.

Jiang Tong frowned, waving them off, "Kids shouldn’t ask about adult matters."

Oh, dear.

Chen Qianye and Shen Xiu exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

Usually, it’s a man who leaves a woman so troubled...

"Sister Tong, don’t overthink it. Here, drink this Erguotou, and all your worries will disappear." Shen Xiu poured Jiang Tong a glass of liquor, persuading her to drink heartily.

"Yeah, Sister Tong, let’s have a drink!"

Faced with their warm invitation, Jiang Tong couldn’t refuse.

So she took their offered drink and downed it in one go.

Completely forgetting that just a bit of alcohol would get her drunk.
