Chapter 1215
The next day was Lunar New Year's Eve.
The whole city was in festive mood. The upcoming several days would be called the Spring Festival.
The green military jeep drove away from the family dormitory building of the military district. Half an hour later, it stopped at the entrance of an entertainment club.
Anthea, who was sitting in the passenger seat and holding a birthday cake, unfastened her seat belt and grinned to Adam. "Then I'll go now."
The two of them woke up late today. Then, they had breakfast and lunch together at home. After all, it was New Year's Eve, and therefore Adam was going back to the Chin family to have a reunion dinner with his parents, while Anthea had other arrangements.
Today was Leonardo's birthday. He had invited a lot of friends for a celebration. In previous years, Anthea stayed in the town where she grew up. Now that she was here, she naturally had to go to Leonardo's birthday party.
On the way, Leonardo had urged her to be more quickly through the telephone. He was afraid that Anthea might change her idea and go to the Chin family together with Adam.
Adam nodded and said, "Okay." "Can I drink some wine? The kind of fruit wine girls often drink!" Anthea raised her little hand and asked very obediently.
If it were at ordinary times, Adam would refuse her in a serious face. However, when he thought of the fact that today was not only New Year's Eve, but also Leonardo's birthday, he feel that it would be possible to make an exception. He didn't want to spoil Anthea's good mood.
"Well... You can drink a little bit." Adam' attitude changed.
"Okay!" Anthea nodded happily and then said, "Golden Leonardo's birthday party will be a noisy one. Maybe it will end very late!"
Adam rubbed the top of her head with his palm and said, "It's all right. Call me at the end of the party. I'll pick you up."
"Uh-huh!" Anthea responded sweetly.
She opened the jeep's door and rushed into the entertainment club with the cake in her arms.
As Anthea had expected, the birthday party was a very noisy one.
This entertainment club was owned by the Schain family. As this was a birthday party, Leonardo's father allowed him to have fun as much as he and his friends wanted.
Leonardo and his friends just ate and drank as they pleased. Towards the evening, they were singing Karaoke in the apartment.
As it was still the winter vacation, many classmates of Leonardo had gone back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. The friends invited by Leonardo were mostly his childhood friends. These friends generally came from rich and powerful families.
Anthea and Leonardo had known each other for a long time. Some of his childhood friends were also acquainted with Anthea. The boys and girls enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
After drinking and eating a great deal, they became more and more excited.
Leonardo was particularly excited. He was now holding the microphone and singing a song intermittently. He also yelled out that they would not stop drinking, eating, and singing until midnight. Anthea glanced at her watch.
She still had something important to do tonight. For this reason, she didn't want to have fun with them until midnight!
Anthea took out her mobile phone from the bag and sent a message to Adam asking him to pick her up after half an hour.
After receiving Adam's reply, Anthea was dragged by Leonardo to play drinking games.
Anthea found it difficult to refuse Leonardo, and therefore she decided to join their games.
Although she only drank some fruit wine specially prepared for females, it was impossible for her to drink only a little as the party had lasted for a long time. After losing three or four rounds of drinking games, she was already a little drunken, and her eyes became perplexed.
Her features were originally beautiful. Her face was now flushed because of alcohol, making her as charming as a peach blossom in March.
The several boys sitting opposite Anthea were a little tempted and could not help flirting with her.
"Anthea, I find that you're becoming more and more beautiful each time I see you!"
"It's true! You're are becoming more and more beautiful. I almost didn't recognize you when you opened the door and came in!"
"Don't let own fertile water flow into others' field. Anthea, do you want to choose a boyfriend among us?"
Anthea put down the dice in her hand, raised her chin proudly, and said directly, "No! I don't want any of you to become my boyfriend!"
The boys cried out in grievance. "Oh... Anthea, why do you have such a lofty stance? What kind of man do you like?" One of the boys asked.
"None of you would become my boyfriend, anyway!" Anthea snorted.
Hearing what she said, the other boys' interests were aroused. "D*mn it! I'm really curious about your requirements. What should your boyfriend be like?" Another boy asked.
Leonardo saw Anthea look of admiration when she thought of Adam, and the corners of his lips twitched.
"Well... Again, you're showing off your love with Adam!" He thought slightly angrily.
Anthea held half of her face with her hand and raised the corners of her lips. "Well... The man I like is much more handsome than all of you! Comparing with him, you are just a group of kids. He is a military officer. When he is wearing the military uniform, you would never be able to imagine how handsome he is!"
The boys were not convinced. "You must be bragging!" One of the boys shouted.
"I'm not bragging. You can't even compare to the little finger of him!" Anthea retorted. "He is the best, better than any one of you, better than any other man! You don't know how much I like him! If he smiles to me, I will immediately want to hug him... Haw-haw..."
At the end of her words, Anthea smiled with admiration in her eyes.
When she looked up inadvertently, she saw that a tall and strong figure was leaning against the door of the apartment. He was wearing a black coat and black trousers, as well as a pair of military boots. His aura was domineering.
His dark eyes were fixed on Anthea with a doting expression, while the corners of his thin lips were lifted.
When Anthea saw him, she immediately got up. "Oh... My boyfriend is coming!"
Then, she ran towards him.
Adam had indeed been here for a few minutes. He had been watching her argue with the other boys and showing off his personal features proudly. He was delighted to see that Anthea said as if he was the best boyfriend in the world.
When Anthea ran over to him, he felt as if his heart had been tenderly touched, and he reached out his big hand.
Anthea was very drunk. When she was sitting, she didn't feel anything that strange. But when she was running, she felt like her feet were stamping on cottons.
When she was about to reach him, she stumbled and fell into his strong arms, nestling on his chest. She looked up and giggled. "Are you going to take me home?"
"Yes." Adam held her thin waist and smelled the scent of wine. He frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to drink only a little?"
Anthea looked aggrieved and almost cried, "I lost the drinking games!"
Adam could not bear to berate her more. He said concernedly, "Let's go home first."
"Mm!" Anthea nodded repeatedly and was particularly obedient now.
Adam bent over, held her up, and carried her out of the entertainment club.
After they left, the boys in the apartment looked at each other, and then looked at themselves. They were so sad because they had realized that it was true, that they couldn't even compare to a little finger of Anthea's boyfriend, who was admirably handsome and powerful.
On New Year's Eve, people in every family were watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV. Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from the elevator. "The mandarin ducks were swimming together on the pond./A pair of butterflies were flying in the sky./The spring scenery in the garden was so fascinating./I whispered to my dear mistress:/Vou re such a beautiful little girl!'
"You're such a beautiful little girl!... You're such a beautiful little girl!" Anthea was singing a popular song.
Anthea hugged Adam's neck and kept on pestering him. He didn't know what to say. "Yes, you are!"
Hearing this, Anthea sang the song even louder.
Fortunately, the elevator reached the floor of their house. Adam directly carried Anthea back home with vigorous strides.
He opened the door, closed it, and carried Anthea onto the big bed. He then went to the kitchen to make a glass of honey water and prepared a hot towel to help her dispel the effects of alcohol.
Adam saw that her cheeks were red. She was so drunk that even her eye expressions were out of focus. She was still singing, yet out of tune. He pulled up the quilt and said helplessly, "I told you don't drink so much wine. You're just like a little drunk cat. Stop singing. Go to bed early."
Anthea suddenly opened her eyes wide and shouted,
"No!"
