"Today is my birthday, Yang Lin, have a drink with me."
Chen Jun's mother laid out the dishes on the table, brought a bottle of wine, and said to Yang Lin with a smile.
Chen Jun was a bit taken aback when his mom said that; wasn't her birthday just a few days ago?
But he thought, her saying that was just an excuse to get Yang Lin to drink, so he sat by, said nothing, and simply smiled along.
"Auntie, it's your birthday today? I really didn't know and came empty-handed, I'm so sorry."
Yang Lin hurriedly said with a smile.
"Having you, this old lady, for a meal is more than enough for me, no need to bring anything. Jun, go get the wine glasses."
Chen Jun's mother opened the wine while instructing Chen Jun to fetch the glasses.
Seeing Chen Jun's mother's demeanor, Yang Lin realized that not drinking tonight was not an option.
"I usually don't drink, but since it's your birthday, Auntie, I'll have a little with you. But Auntie, I really can't drink much, just a little, okay?"
