Feng Jue stood beside Gu Yang, his gaze fixed on a bottle of wine across the table. "Sister, I'd like to have that bottle," he murmured softly.
Gu Yang obliged, pouring a modest amount into a wine glass. "Don't overdo it. You might get tipsy," she cautioned.
"Thank you, Sister," Feng Jue beamed, taking a sip of the red wine. "It's so sweet."
In a hushed tone, Gu Yang cautioned, "Don't be too greedy."
Fu Mingxiu found Feng Jue's cheerful demeanor grating, a sentiment echoed by Gu Jin.
Rising to his feet, Fu Mingxiu poured two full glasses of white wine and offered one to Feng Jue. "Feng Jue, I missed your birthday back in Jin City. I was still stuck in classes here in the capital."
"Allow me to extend a belated birthday wish. Happy coming of age," he declared before downing the white wine in one swift motion, his expression unwavering.
Observing the label on the bottle, Gu Yang furrowed her brow. "This alcohol content seems rather high."
