"Hey, look, aren't those Mr. Cheng and Miss Alyssa?"

"Yeah, why are the two of them together? And looking at the two of them, they look like they are chatting happily."

"Damn it...that Su Cheng has been staying next to Miss Alyssa. I can't even go over and talk to Miss Alyssa."

"Ugh... Damn Alyssa! She stays next to Mr. Cheng like this. How can I talk to Mr. Cheng!"

"When are they going to separate? Are they going to stay together until the end of the dinner?"

"So Su Cheng and Alyssa are such good friends?"

"I think it's normal that they have such a good relationship. After all, Miss Alyssa also participated in the rescue battle in the Kingdom of Lund not long ago. The two of them may have developed a deep friendship as comrades in this battle.

"

"...could they be more than just friends? Could they be lovers..."

"...I don't know. I can only hope that the relationship between the two of them is just pure friends."

…

"Look, Alyssa," Su Cheng said to Alyssa, who was standing beside him, "our plan worked. No one dares to come up and talk to me or you."

After listening to Su Cheng's words, Alyssa nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Yes. It seems that your plan has been implemented perfectly. No one has dared to come up to bother us since we entered the venue."

"Ah, Alyssa, stand closer. If the two of us are too far away, they may take advantage of us."

"Ah, ah! Sorry, I was negligent."

As Alyssa spoke, she moved her steps so that she could get closer to Su Cheng.

As Alyssa moved closer to him, Su Cheng felt the aristocratic boys standing not far from him and Alyssa, and the waves of "envy" projected onto him.

The eyes filled with jealousy and hatred became even more intense.

"Okay, Alyssa." Su Cheng smiled and said, "Let's continue chatting. We can't stop chatting, otherwise those noble boys and girls who have been surrounding us not far away will catch us.

The time came for us to stop chatting."

…

Time goes back ten minutes.

In a corridor outside the venue.

"You and I have been staying together and chatting?" Alyssa asked doubtfully.

"That's right." Su Cheng smiled and nodded, "This is my plan. As long as Alyssa and I keep chatting and staying together, those nobles will have no chance to come over and talk to us."

Alyssa raised her right hand and touched her chin with her right thumb and index finger. After thinking for a moment, her eyes gradually glowed brightly.

"This plan of yours is feasible."

"Nobles generally have good education and cultivation, and will not engage in such immoral behavior as disturbing others when they are communicating with others. So your strategy will work! As long as I and I

If you stay together and chat all the time, then those nobles will not have the opportunity to bother us!"

Speaking of this, Alyssa paused for a moment, and then showed a hesitant expression on her face.

"But..." Alyssa continued, "If we want to implement this strategy, then I have to stay with you until the dinner is over..."

"Don't worry, Alyssa." Su Cheng smiled gently, "I won't let you be bored."

…

Return to the original timeline.

Alyssa looked at the group of noble boys and girls surrounding him and Su Cheng not far away, and then smiled proudly.

"It seems," Alyssa said, "I can finally have a clean year-end dinner this year."

At this moment, Su Cheng happened to bring two glasses of wine, and while handing one to Alyssa, he said in a half-joking tone:

"Isn't this a great plan of mine? As long as the two of us stay together, those nobles won't be able to seize the opportunity to bother us."

"This is a good plan of yours."

Alyssa said as she passed the wine from Su Cheng.

"only……"

Alyssa paused, her pretty face flushed slightly.

"I just heard a lot of people talking about you and me. Many people are guessing whether the two of us are lovers... What should I do? If this continues, there will be strange rumors and scandals about me and you."

After Su Cheng heard Alyssa's words, he was stunned for a moment, then showed a faint smile, shook the wine in the glass in his hand, and said:

"Rumors stop among the wise, so don't worry, Alyssa. And"

Speaking of this, Su Cheng changed into a joking tone and continued:

"I'm so honored to have an affair with a beautiful and cute girl like you, Alyssa."

"Hmm..."

Alyssa's pretty face turned red slightly, and then she said in a panic:

"If there is a scandal with you, I won't be happy at all!"

After saying that, as if to cover up her panic, Alyssa raised the wine glass that Su Cheng had just handed over, brought it to her lips, and took a sip.

Alyssa: "!"

After taking a sip from the wine glass in her hand, Alyssa's beautiful light green eyes showed dazzling light, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

"What kind of wine is this?"

Alyssa looked at the light orange wine in the wine glass in her hand, stretched out her little tongue and licked her red lips, and then continued:

"It tastes good! It's sweet."

"Does it taste good?"

Su Cheng's expression seemed to be telling Alyssa: "I knew you would like to drink it."

Su Cheng also raised the wine glass in his hand that was also filled with light orange wine, took a sip, and then said:

"This is a fruit wine accidentally invented by a winemaker in the Duchy of Nova in the year 203 of the Imperial Calendar. It tastes sweet, has an excellent texture, and is relatively cheap, so many people, especially girls, like to drink it.

This is a fruit wine. I thought that there would be no cheap wine like this at the famously luxurious year-end dinner, but I didn’t expect that I just found this wine on the long table, so I took two glasses over. Ai

Lisa, if you like drinking, just drink more."

"Oh, that's it."

Alyssa nodded after listening to Su Cheng's explanation carefully.

Then, Alyssa said to Su Cheng with a surprised look:

"Hmm? Su Cheng, do you know a lot about wine? When you explained this wine just now, you spoke very clearly."

"I don't understand wine." Su Cheng smiled helplessly, "I just read a few books two years ago that introduced the development history of wine in various countries around the world."

"? Then it seems like you have a very good memory." Alyssa smiled, "You can still remember the contents of the book you read two years ago."

"Memory... I am actually quite confident in my memory. Although I have not reached the exaggerated state of photographic memory, I can basically remember the general content of the books I have read."

"It's really fake..."

Alyssa looked at Su Cheng suspiciously.

Looking at Alyssa who was looking at him suspiciously, Su Cheng showed an intriguing smile and then said:

"Alyssa, if you don't believe it, you can come and try it."

"Hmph, okay, then I'll try to see if you're bragging."

Alyssa walked to a long table and happened to see some juice on the long table.

"Su Cheng, have you ever read a book about juice?"

"I haven't read any books that explain fruit juices, but I have read a few books that explain the development history of various fruit juices."

"Then let me test you with this."

Alyssa poured a glass of juice casually and handed it to Su Cheng's eyes.

"What kind of juice is this? When was it invented?"

Su Cheng just glanced at the glass of juice in Alyssa's hand, and then replied without thinking:

"This is a juice invented by an ordinary fruit farmer in Hannahmore Village, a village in the north of the present empire, 23 years before the establishment of the Britannia Empire. The ingredients of this juice include four different fruits...

"

…

"Hmm... what about this one! What is the development history of this juice?"

"This is juice produced in the Luo Lin Empire. It was invented when..."
