Chapter 61 The Drunken Falushan: "I'm going to snatch both of you away from the Tinari."
His voice was a little weaker than usual.
"You're too kind, senior."
However, Chen Bo was still a little flustered inside.
I absolutely mustn't raise Farusan's favorability to 70 points too early, or I'll miss out on the rewards.
The later the system task is completed, the higher the reward.
I don't know why.
A subtle silence fell between them, and neither of them spoke again.
The awkward silence was broken only when Cole's stomach started growling.
"Ah—I, I didn't mean to." Cole blushed and covered her stomach in embarrassment.
Chen Bo laughed and said, "Come on, it's getting dark. My treat, let's go get something good to eat. I really learned a lot today!"
The atmosphere inside the Lambad tavern was lively.
-
This is the busiest time for the restaurant.
Chen Bo deliberately chose a quiet corner by the window, but he could still feel the lively atmosphere of the surrounding diners clinking their glasses. "Anil, you did very well this afternoon." Farusan was in a great mood and took the initiative to pick up the serving chopsticks and put a piece of grilled meat on Chen Bo's plate. "The ancient alchemical arrays I talked about were obscure and difficult to understand. If it were any other student, they probably would have gotten restless long ago."
.
"You not only learned it after watching it once, but you can also apply what you've learned to other situations. You truly deserve to be the student I've been eyeing."
Her eyes relaxed, and her praise was undisguised.
Chen Bo was very happy to be praised so highly by a centenarian scholar.
No one dislikes being praised, and Chen Bo humbly replied, "It's mainly because my senior taught me well, explaining such complex things in a simple and easy-to-understand way."
Meanwhile, Cole ate his meal in silence.
Alchemy and classical Chinese are now beyond his comprehension.
Just then, a waiter carrying two bottles of wine passed by Faroshan and placed them on the table next to her.
The fruit wine looked very beautiful, with a lovely amber color under the light.
Farussan raised her hand and gestured, "Give us two bottles of that wine too."
Chen Bo was taken aback and quickly advised, "Senior, it's already very late. Isn't it inappropriate to drink? We need to continue our research tomorrow."
As he spoke, he subtly gave Cole a wink.
Ke Lai paused for two seconds before understanding Chen Bo's meaning, and whispered in agreement, "Yes, Senior Farusan, how about—"
Shall we just have juice instead?
"What's there to be afraid of!" Farussan scoffed. "As a senior, do you think I can't even handle this much alcohol? Don't worry, I won't get drunk."
She paused, then offered another reason: "Besides, after sitting all afternoon, a little wine can help relieve the fatigue."
Having said all that, Chen Bo and Ke Lai couldn't offer any further advice.
The wine was served quickly.
Chen Bo poured himself and Ke Lai only a small, shallow glass, just to keep them company.
But Senior Farusan was not so reserved.
She poured herself a full glass, raised it to the two of them as a gesture, and then drank it all in one gulp. After finishing, she let out a satisfied "ha," and a faint blush quickly rose on her fair cheeks.
"Delicious!"
She seemed to really enjoy this sweet fruit wine, drinking one glass after another without showing any sign of stopping.
Chen Bo looked at her, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart.
Based on experience, people who say "I won't get drunk" are often the ones who get drunk the fastest.
Sure enough, before she had even finished half of the second bottle of wine, Farusan's eyes began to glaze over.
She rested her chin on her hand, looking at Chen Bo and Ke Lai opposite her, her originally clear voice becoming somewhat indistinct.
"Anil—Coley—"
She murmured to herself, "You guys—you're going to the rainforest soon, aren't you?"
Chen Bo and Ke Lai exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Yes, senior," Chen Bo replied softly.
"Sigh—" Farusan sighed deeply, her voice filled with a loneliness and reluctance she would never normally show. "What's so good about the rainforest—so many mosquitoes, and so damp. Isn't Sumeru City better? The Palace of Wisdom has so many books, and my house is so big—"
Her voice grew softer and softer, tinged with a hint of drunken grievance.
"Such good children should stay in Sumeru City. One is studious, the other is well-behaved—I should take them both and make them my students—"
As she spoke, she suddenly pointed a finger directly at Chen Bo: "Ke Lai, look at you, aren't you much better now? You don't need to rest all day for Demon Scale Disease anymore, you can stay in Sumeru City, isn't that great! I'll take you to see all kinds of books and teach you to read!"
Cole blushed instantly and looked at her helplessly.
Immediately afterwards, Farusan turned her finger and pointed at the blushing Cole, but spoke to Chen Bo instead.
"Anil! Your studious nature and love of fitness are excellent; keep it up! And when you go to the rainforest, remember to come back and visit me often—I'm so bored all alone—"
'
Chen Bo covered his face.
That's it, I'm completely drunk.
Moreover, people speak their minds when they're drunk, revealing all their innermost thoughts.
This centenarian is actually quite lonely.
"Ke Lai, I'll take you two home in a bit. I'll leave the senior in your care," Chen Bo said to Ke Lai in a low voice.
"Yes!" Cole nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with worry and heartache.
Chen Bo quietly summoned a waiter and asked him to replace the remaining wine on Faroshan's plate with a similarly colored fruit juice.
The senior is already drunk; drinking any more will only harm his health.
Afterwards, he asked the waiter to add a few more dishes that Nasita might like and packed them up.
The meal ended amidst the ramblings of Senior Falushan.
Chen Bo first took the swaying Farusan and the worried Cole home, told Cole to take good care of her senior, and then returned to his own residence with the packed food.
Pushing open the door, Luna One was sitting quietly on a small stool in the workshop, the printer still humming, and a lot of mecha parts were piled up on the table next to it.
Upon seeing Chen Bo return, Naxida's voice rang out: "You're back. The printer is working smoothly, and there's plenty of material."
""
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Bo smiled as he arranged the packed food on the table. "Here, try the specialties from Lambad Tavern. I brought them especially for you."
Nasita, controlling Luna 1, began to savor the food.
Chen Bo sat to the side, watching her eat, and vividly recounted the funny things that had happened at the dinner table, especially the part where Farusan pointed at him and called out to Cole, and then pointed at Cole and called out to him.
After listening to Chen Bo's story, I was also amused.
"So cute."
"Yeah, a drunk senior is really cute." Chen Bo nodded in agreement.
Nasita said, "You and Cole are going to the rainforest soon, and she'll miss you both."
Chen Bo laughed and said, "Even if we can't bear to part, we can still meet often."
"Once the armor set I designed for Senior Farusan is finished, she will find that the journey from Sumeru City to the Rainforest is only a three-minute walk for her."
