The dining area was unusually lively. Sitting around with the three Tiger family members, it truly felt like a happy family day out for a meal.
“I’ve really missed BiGus’ cooking!”
I took a large bite of the duck roast that BiGus had brought out. Ah, home-cooked meals are the best.
“I’m just happy you’re enjoying it.”
BiGus looked pleased. In this house, no one else appreciates the food as much as I do.
I gave him a thumbs-up once more and returned to my meal.
A servant appeared carrying a purple bottle. BiGus took it and began pouring, starting with Tesmilion’s glass. My glass was no exception.
“Is this, perhaps?”
“Yes, it’s the wine Cecilia made before she left.”
I raised my glass to show Tesmilion.
“Why didn’t you drink any? I told you to savor it, but not this sparingly.”
“I felt it would be a waste to drink it alone. I was saving it for when you and Edrish return. It’s a special wine made with Cecilia’s care, after all. The taste is rather good.”
“Really? What does it taste like?”
“Try it for yourself.”
I nodded quickly.
Then, I quickly lifted the glass. Illuminated by the lantern, the semi-transparent violet liquid was visible. Though murkier than other wines, it still looked decent enough to be called wine.
The color seems fine, right?
I sniffed the scent, and the aroma of alcohol wafted up.
Can I drink it? I’ve never drunk alcohol before.
However, from the smell of it, it didn’t seem strong.
Alright, I didn’t add alcohol when making this. It’s all naturally fermented, so it should be fine for me to drink. And I’m an adult now; I should know how to drink.
With that thought, I took a sip of the wine.
My eyes widened.
It’s delicious!
The flavor could immediately turn someone with 9.8 vision into someone with 2.0 vision!
The first thing I noticed was the sweetness, followed by a harmonious blend of mild acidity and bitterness.
I quickly looked at Edrish and Tesmilion to gauge their reactions. Tesmilion nodded approvingly, confirming that his experience was not much different from mine.
As for Edrish?
“It pairs well with the steak.”
Wow, such praise from Idrish is truly significant. I grinned widely, unable to contain myself. Really, compliments make me want to dance.
“Right? Delicious, isn’t it? I thought I could sell this wine I made. I was really worried it would be ruined since I made it in a hurry. It would be a shame to waste good grapes.”
I took another sip of the wine. The taste urged me to go for another sip as soon as I finished the first.
A bite of duck and a sip of wine. It was perfect.
Whoever made this is a true artist!
“Cecilia, drink slowly.”
Idrish stopped my hand. At that moment, I felt Rodrigo and Tesmilion’s attention shift toward me.
I closed my eyes and smiled brightly, mustering the most affectionate tone possible.
“Idrish, I’m fine. Thank you for worrying about me.”
Perhaps surprised by my rare tender demeanor, Idrish’s eyes slightly trembled.
Idrish must be flustered.
After ‘that incident,’ I had been acting standoffish, so a sudden change must have confused him.
Regardless, I lifted the hand that had stopped my glass and set it back in its place.
“Ahem, shall we toast? We’ve both been through a lot traveling this far. Cheers, everyone.”
Pretending to be unfazed, I clinked glasses loudly.
And then gulped down the wine.
Ah, the taste of life is sweet.
“Bigus, give me more!”
I’d only had two glasses, but my cheeks and eyes felt hot.
Just a moment ago, I’d been thinking the weather was too cold.
Wow, I’m drunk.
I couldn’t even realize it was alcohol because it was solely made from grapes and sugar.
But considering that the things in front of me were starting to blur and dance, it seems this hastily made wine is indeed alcoholic.
The first alcohol I’ve ever had in my two lives was the wine I made myself. How romantic!
Should I have one more glass to celebrate?
I gestured to Bigus. Bigus looked at Tesmilion and Idrish for approval.
“Bigus, just one more glass.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course, why? Afraid I’ll get eaten by the wine, Bigus?”
“I am not Bigus…”
“Unless there’s a wine monster or something.”
Even as I spoke, a giggle slipped out. A wine monster, how ridiculous.
My chuckling was so amusing that I ended up laughing for quite a while.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
