Chapter 55 -55: Underestimated Her Strength_1

After a major shopping spree, Wang Ye spent nearly a hundred US dollars.

Meat wasn’t too expensive, but fresh vegetables were, and he also bought some fruit.

After all, when inviting a girl over for dinner, it can’t be all about meat…

“Brother Ye, you sure don’t skimp when it comes to wooing girls. No wonder they like you so much.”

On the way back to the dorm, Song Xiaogang joked. He was carrying two large grocery bags full of food and drinks they had just bought.

However, being tall and sturdy, carrying such a load was no sweat for him.

Wang Ye was no exception, also carrying two large bags. Hearing Song Xiaogang’s words, he laughed and responded: “Then you should learn from me! Always brooding like a melon, no chance a girl will like you.”

Indeed, Song Xiaogang was too tall and looked a little fierce, and also lacked confidence when talking to girls, so he didn’t have much luck with women.

Song Xiaogang chuckled stupidly and said: “No hurry, I’m not in a rush to find a girlfriend, at least not until after graduation. My current goal is to graduate smoothly, and earning some money along the way would be even better.”

Wang Ye shook his head and did not continue the topic.

After returning to the dorm, Song Xiaogang went to the kitchen to start preparing. Wang Ye wanted to help, but Song “sent” him back.

According to Song Xiaogang, Wang Ye could cause more trouble than help!

……

At around five in the afternoon, Song Xiaogang was still busy in the kitchen, and Wang Ye sat at the table reading. The dorm door was knocked, and it was Angelina.

It was clear Angelina had dressed up for the occasion, wearing light makeup, looking even more radiant and attractive.

Wang Ye quickly got up to greet her, took her coat off and helped her hang it on the rack.

Once she took off her coat, Angelina was dressed in a cream-colored semi-turtleneck tight-fitting wool sweater paired with light washed blue jeans, highlighting her perfect figure.

She was holding a small paper bag. She handed it to Wang Ye and said, “I brought a bottle of red wine. I’m not sure if you like it.”

The norm among Russians is to bring a small gift when you are invited to a meal.

Generally, it’s booze, vodka or red wine…

Wang Ye took the wine with a smile, took out the red wine and looked at it, “Hmm, great wine, Angelina. How about your alcohol tolerance? Don’t go too hard on me later, I’m not much of a drinker.”

Most Russians, including women, can hold their alcohol pretty well.

Wang Ye actually has an alright alcohol tolerance, but it depends on who he’s comparing with…

“My alcohol tolerance is just average. I occasionally drink beer and can handle red wine. I almost never drink vodka.” Angelina replied with a smile.

This reassured Wang Ye.

Because all real “heavy drinkers” drink vodka. Beer and red wine are just beverages for them.

Just as Angelina sat down, Song Xiaogang came in with a plate of food in each hand.

He was a bit tense when he saw Angelina and respectfully greeted her as “teacher”.

Wang Ye also stood up to help Song Xiaogang with the food and tidied up. He quickly filled the dining table with food.

Song Xiaogang had made an effort today and prepared four dishes and a soup.

Fish, meat, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes packed with flavor that made your mouth water just looking at them.

Wang Ye opened the bottle of red wine Angelina brought, poured a glass for everyone, toasted, and the official meal began!

……

Following Wang Ye’s instructions, Song Xiaogang had prepared dishes to suit the Russian palate. Angelina couldn’t help but praise the food as the best Chinese cuisine she had ever tasted!

Of course, maybe she never had the opportunity to eat Chinese food before…

At the dinner table, it was Wang Ye and Angelina who were chatting.

Because of the language barrier, Song Xiaogang couldn’t join the conversation. He didn’t have much to say anyway, and focused on eating his meal.

As they chatted, the topic shifted to Angelina’s hometown.

“You should visit it if you have a chance, it’s a very beautiful small city. Unfortunately, our hometown is not economically developed, and the conditions are relatively poor. Even basic things like water and electricity have to be supported from other places. In recent years, Ukraine’s economy has also been sluggish, so many young people in our area hope to develop in Moscow. After all, it’s the center of Eastern Europe, with far more opportunities than back home…”

Talking about her hometown, Angelina’s face dimmed a little.

In 2001, the Crimea Peninsula still belonged to Ukraine. Although most of the residents were of Russian ethnicity and public opinion surveys showed people hoped to return to Russia’s “embrace”.

But things weren’t that simple. As long as Ukraine didn’t loosen its grip, the Crimea Peninsula would be Ukrainian territory!

Due to geographical reasons, basic infrastructure like water, electricity, and gas in the Crimea Peninsula were controlled by Ukraine. Cause any trouble, and they would simply cut off your water and electricity!

Wang Ye expressed his understanding, saying, “It’s the same in China. Many young people in small towns hope to work in a first-tier city. There, they would have more job opportunities and better living conditions. However, very few people can actually stay, very few…”

Many similar young people in China are referred to as “Beijing Drifters” or “Southern Migrant Workers”.

Could Angelina be considered a “Moscow Drifter” too?

Raising her wine glass, she gestured to Wang Ye. Wang Ye picked up his and clinked it with hers.

Angelina gulped down almost half a glass of red wine, let out a light breath and her cheeks flushed red.

“I’m actually quite conflicted. On one hand, I want to stay in Moscow, establish a home and a career here, and hope my children could become Moscow natives, which is what many people desire. But on the other hand, I wish to return and contribute to my hometown, and don’t want to see it continue to decline…”

Perhaps having drunk a bit too much, Angelina began to reveal her inner thoughts.

This topic was a bit “off-topic” for Wang Ye at the moment. He’s not the “Emperor”, what can he do…

The only thing he could do was comfort Angelina a bit and persuade her to drink more.

Apart from the bottle Angelina brought along, Wang Ye had also bought two bottles of red wine; unnoticed, the three bottles of wine were almost empty.

Song Xiaogang didn’t drink much. He had poured a large glass at the beginning and hadn’t finished it yet.

Most of it was consumed by Wang Ye and Angelina. Wang Ye already felt dizzy and was slightly unsteady on his feet.

Clearly, he was on his way to get drunk…

Angelina had drunk more than him, but seemed perfectly fine, still chatting and laughing as usual…

Originally, Wang Ye had hoped to get Angelina drunk and then play the “hero sending beauty home”, sending her back, and perhaps visiting Angelina’s bedroom…

But now, he could barely stand.

He completely underestimated Angelina’s alcohol tolerance. And now, he was the one who was drunk!
