Woven Second Threads Novel Chapter 10

Marinda Qingping:

How interesting! In this era, there won’t be men who are bitches, brothers who are bitches, right?

Marinda Qingping smiled, took another cup, placed it in front of her, filled it with wine, and when no one knew what she was going to do, she raised her neck and drank it all.

Justin Gu, who was next to him, grabbed her cup and asked her gently, "What are you doing?"

Marinda Qingping said with a smile, "Secretary, I have to rely on my young age so that you won't blame me and blame you."

The branch secretary was stunned, "What's wrong with me?"

"Haven't you noticed yet? Cassie Chen, you just want to drink, but do you look down on female comrades? You don't even pour it for her. No, you even want to drink my Chengzi's wine. What do you mean? , are you not treating guests well?"

Marinda Qingping was indeed young at the moment, so he said this as a joke, which made the party secretary laugh.

"That's right, that's right, I was careless! Come on, fill it up." The branch secretary smiled and filled Cassie Chen's cup, then looked at Marinda Qingping, "Then you..."

Nariko's wife just said that she shouldn't look down on female comrades, but Nariko took the wine glass away again. So, do you want the wine to be filled?

Marinda Qingping smiled, "I'll drink our Chengzi's wine!"

"Are you kidding me? No more drinking!" Justin Gu covered the mouth of the cup with his hand and solemnly apologized to the branch secretary, saying he really couldn't drink anymore.

Of course the party secretary would not force it, but Cassie Chen looked awkward holding the glass of wine whether he wanted to drink it or not.

However, there were more than just them at the table, there were also several village cadres. The party secretary was very elegant, and it was quite lively when he greeted Cassie Chen.

The people who ate together were all acquaintances in the village. They either grew up with Justin Gu or watched Gu Jun grow up. As they ate and talked, they began to reminisce about the past.

The one who talked the most lively was Cassie Chen.

"Do you still remember when we were little, we came to the party secretary's house to steal persimmons to eat? Our aunt caught us and wanted to beat our hands!"

"Yes, you are the only one who is timid and scared!" A young man echoed her.

"What are you talking about! Brother Chengzi is the best. If you say you will fight for me, you will just run away!" Cassie Chen gave the young man an angry look and gave Justin Gu a smile.

The young man laughed and said, "It's you and Chengzi who are stupid. Auntie is just teasing us and doesn't know how to fight, okay?"

Justin Gu also laughed after saying this.

The dull Justin Gu finally began to talk more in this atmosphere of childhood memories, but Marinda Qingping had nothing to say.

She had never been involved in Justin Gu's childhood and youth.

She couldn't get in a word, and she didn't even understand what they were saying. Especially, Cassie Chen always talked about how Justin Gu, the eldest brother, protected her when she was a child...

Although she told herself that she was reborn and should have a strong mentality, and it was not Justin Gu's fault, she still felt a slight regret tugging at the center of her heart, a slight soreness.

When Cassie Chen told the story about them wearing crotchless pants and swimming in the river together, Marinda Qingping's wine glass had too much wine.

She drank one cup after another. Justin Gu must have been chatting with them so much that he didn't notice her, right?

Unknowingly, their chatter finally became inaudible, leaving only a hum.

It's great, I don't have to hear that annoying sound anymore!

However, everything in front of him was shaking.

She rubbed her eyes, feeling dizzy. She couldn't help but grab Justin Gu's arm to steady herself. Finally, she simply leaned on his shoulder.

"Justin Gu... I want to go home..." She whispered, her heart sour and her eyes sour. Her voice seemed to have been mixed with wine, sticky and soft.

Then, there seemed to be loud laughter.

An arm was put around her waist.

She was feeling dizzy. She tried to open her eyes, but she only saw many blurry double images. They must all be Justin Gu's friends, and they all seemed to be laughing.

Are you laughing at her?

"Justin..." When people are drunk, they seem to be easily aggrieved. She called him aggrievedly. Who made him just talk to his friends and ignore her for so long? His friends also laughed at her.

Then, she felt her whole body rising into the air, and her face pressed against a solid and warm place. She looked up and saw Justin Gu's eyes, as black as the night sky, with dots of light and shadow reflected in them, like a river of stars.

She was dizzy, and tried her best to reach for his eyes, smiling stupidly, "Justin, there are stars in your eyes."

Another burst of laughter.

snort! Why are you laughing at her?

However, among the chaotic sounds, she accurately heard Justin Gu's voice, but she didn't hear clearly what he was saying.

Then, she was far away from the noise and felt the night breeze.

As soon as the cool breeze blew, her face felt so hot.

"Justin I am I drunk?" She still knew herself.

"You're not allowed to drink, and you're still drinking secretly. I want to see how much you can drink."

Um? Is it Justin Gu who is speaking?

She looked up and saw that he seemed to be smiling.

Did he laugh at her too?

"Don't laugh at me!" She groaned, getting into trouble and lying on his chest, not showing her face.

It's not far from the branch secretary's house to the Gu family.

Justin Gu taught the lesson very quickly, holding her in his arms and walking there after a while.

After hearing him say "drunk" to someone, he carried her directly into their room and put her on the bed.

Marinda Qingping felt uncomfortable.

Hot and sticky.

She sat up from the bed again, "I need...to take a bath..."

Then he staggered out.

Justin Gu supported her, "How can you..."

"No, I want to take a bath  I don't like it... I don't feel comfortable..." She pushed him away and continued to the shower room.

The whole thing is going well...

In the end, it was Justin Gu who helped her go.

When she got to the bathroom, she had to fetch hot water herself.

Justin Gu was scared when he saw her and asked her to stand still.

How could she, a drunk person, listen to reason? I prefer to do it myself.

Justin Gu was helpless by her troubles, so he gave an order out of habit and shouted, "Stop! Stand at attention!"

He was a rough man by nature,  and he was used to shouting slogans in the army. His voice was loud, and when he gave orders, his voice was more like thunder.

Even Marinda Qingping, who was drunk, was also shocked. As expected, he just stood there obediently and stopped, then lowered his head.

Justin Gu brought the hot water to the right temperature, and when he called her again, he found that she was standing obediently, with her head lowered and motionless.

It was so noisy just now, why is it suddenly quiet?

He walked over and told her, "Okay, it's time to wash."

But I saw her shoulders shrugging.

Justin Gu:

I bent down and took a look, my dear fellow, he was crying
