Lu Wuming and Liu Buli were different. Perhaps it was because Liu Buli had always arranged everything for him so perfectly that he never had any superfluous thoughts about matters unrelated to Liu Buli.
According to the theory in his mind, as long as it was not related to Liu Buli, Liu Buli could make the decision. No matter what conclusion Liu Buli reached, he was willing to carry it out without hesitation. This was good enough.
So, since they had decided not to leave, the two of them began to play with peace of mind.
The city was not small, and there was a rather large lake within it.
Seeing that the sky was still early, Liu Buli rented a boat and pulled Lu Wuming onto it.
At this moment, it was noon, and the sun was too strong. There were actually very few people rowing boats on the water. It was precisely because of this that Liu Buli did not worry about being seen by others. He let Lu Wuming row, yawned, and comfortably lay down on the other person's lap.
When he opened his eyes, he could see Lu Wuming's chin perfectly from this angle. Feeling his gaze, Lu Wuming lowered his head, and their eyes met perfectly.
Liu Buli liked this feeling and was unwilling to leave.
Lu Wuming indulged him, rowing the boat into the depths of the lotus leaves. Seeing that there was no one else around, he put away the oars, bent down, and gently kissed Liu Buli's smiling lips.
"Shizun, you are tempting Wuming now..."
His voice became hoarse as he spoke.
The fire in Lu Wuming's eyes reignited. He felt that if this continued, he might not be able to wait until night.
This feeling was like having a piece of candy. He desperately wanted to eat it, but he was never allowed to see it before, only to know of its existence. Now it was placed in his palm, but he was told he could only put it in his mouth after sunset.
This torment...
It was truly agonizing.
Liu Buli knew what Lu Wuming was thinking. He lay obediently on his lap, enjoying the other person's kiss for a while, then flipped over and got up. He said with a smile, "Wuming, haven't you noticed that we're missing a step after our wedding ceremony?"
Lu Wuming blinked.
He thought hard for a moment, his eyes lighting up: "Shizun, you mean the bridal chamber..."
"What bridal chamber! I said that's for tonight!" Liu Buli interrupted him before he could finish.
Putting on a displeased expression, Liu Buli sat up straight. He reached into his Qiankun bag and took out a wine pot and two cups.
Placing one of the cups in Lu Wuming's hand, Liu Buli filled it for him. He gave the other person a bright smile and said, "Look, we forgot to drink the cross-cupped wine. Now that there's no one around, let's make up for it."
Lu Wuming was a little confused: "Isn't this something done before entering the bridal chamber?"
Liu Buli pouted: "When we get into the room tonight, will you still give me time to drink the cross-cupped wine?"
Lu Wuming was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
Shizun was right. It wasn't just that it wouldn't be possible tonight; he could hardly wait even now.
So, drinking the cross-cupped wine in advance was also acceptable.
The two of them raised their cups and linked arms to drink the wine in their respective cups. Liu Buli licked the sweet and spicy wine, feeling truly miserable.
He also knew that the cross-cupped wine should be drunk in the bridal chamber, but one problem was that there would be no chance to drink it once they entered, and another was that he could see that if he didn't find something to do now, Lu Wuming would turn his wedding night into an outdoor tryst.
So, it was better to drink the cross-cupped wine.
If he got drunk and his head spun, perhaps it wouldn't hurt so much during the wedding night?
Tsk, no.
With Shizun above, how could he be the one to hurt?
Thinking this, Liu Buli drank cup after cup. If he wanted to drink, Lu Wuming would refill it for him. However, he himself didn't drink much, only finishing the first cup, and then only taking a sip afterward.
But even so, Liu Buli was still a little puzzled. In his memory, Lu Wuming was already drunk after one cup at his apprenticeship ceremony. How was it that after drinking so much with him, and he himself was a bit dizzy, Lu Wuming still showed no signs of being drunk?
Lu Wuming hugged Liu Buli and kissed his eyes again.
He saw Liu Buli's confusion and smiled softly: "Shizun, I know I lost face at the apprenticeship ceremony. After that, I definitely practiced. I still can't drink too much now, but I can control the amount so I won't lose face again."
As he spoke, he showed Liu Buli his wine cup.
What was left in it was basically a full cup; not much had been drunk.
Liu Buli: ...
So, he had drunk seven or eight cups, and Lu Wuming had only licked the rim of the cup a few times?
If this continued...
Lu Wuming put down his wine cup and pulled Liu Buli into his embrace. He bit Liu Buli's ear and smiled, "Besides, there are important matters today, and Wuming cannot drink too much. Otherwise, if I cannot serve Shizun well, it would be a great sin."
