94: Bonfire Party (Continued) - Can't Think of a Title
Toke spoke up, rescuing the secretly complaining Valentine:
"Alright, since everyone is here for the bonfire party, enjoy yourselves to the fullest."
"We promise, we won't let Valentine drink too much, just a small cup."
Toke made a "fingertip universe" gesture towards Vavinia.
When Vavinia saw Uncle Toke say this, she could only give a helpless smile.
"For Uncle Toke's sake, it's not impossible for Brother to drink a little more."
Saying this, Vavinia paused, then instructed Valentine:
"However, you still need to take care of your body and not get drunk."
Valentine's face immediately lit up with joy when he heard his Sister say he could drink a little more today.
Regarding Vavinia's instruction, Valentine immediately nodded quickly, indicating that he understood, and at the same time made a guarantee:
"Don't worry, Sister. I will absolutely strictly adhere to the principle of moderate drinking and will not get drunk."
Vavinia nodded noncommittally when she heard Valentine's guarantee.
"Alright then, you go drink with Uncle Toke and them."
Hearing this, Valentine chuckled and then followed Toke and Oliver closely towards the drinks area.
Watching Valentine and the others, arms around each other, laughing and talking, gradually walk away, Vavinia gently shook her head:
"Anyway, he has gastric prosthetics, just let him be."
At this moment, Fang Yun finally found an opportunity to speak and immediately said to Vavinia:
"Uh, then, shall we go eat first?"
Hearing Fang Yun's question, Vavinia brushed her hair back and replied:
"Okay. Let's eat something first to line our stomachs. Otherwise, when we drink later, having an empty stomach is bad for our health."
Fang Yun nodded, indicating understanding.
"OK, shall we go eat something light? Eating too much barbecue at night makes it easy to gain weight."
Vavinia was originally going to walk towards the barbecue stall, but after hearing Fang Yun's words, she paused her steps, then subtly turned towards the stir-fry area.
Vavinia walked and echoed:
"Ah, mm... You're right. Let's go eat some bread and vegetables first."
Fang Yun keenly noticed this detail and secretly chuckled to himself:
"Hehe. It seems even a great beauty like Vavinia has body image anxiety."
"Or perhaps, she cares about my opinion? Hmph hmph."
Fang Yun thought happily, and at the same time quickly caught up with Vavinia.
...
The Buckle Family's celebration bonfire party is usually held in the evening and is divided into four segments.
The first segment: Members of the Buckle Family gather at the Second Cafeteria to eat and drink with family, loved ones, and friends.
The second segment: The Clan Leader delivers greetings and a speech, announcing the official start of the bonfire party.
The third segment: Entertainment. Adults and children both have their own games and entertainment activities. For example, shooting range, poker games, arm wrestling, rock-paper-scissors, etc. And for example, virtual games, vaulting horse, dropping the handkerchief, etc.
The fourth segment: The Clan Leader delivers a concluding speech, announcing the end of the party, and simultaneously arranges personnel to be responsible for cleaning the venue, moving tables and chairs, and other finishing work.
The entire process of the bonfire party will last approximately 2 hours.
And the current time is 10:30 PM.
In other words, if there are no surprises, today's bonfire party might continue until 00:30 AM the next day.
The night was deep, and the cheerful and wonderful bonfire party was just beginning.
...
Fang Yun was one step behind Vavinia, following her to the stir-fry area of the cafeteria.
Here were several sets of tables and chairs, with three options: six-seater, four-seater, and two-seater.
In addition, there were two large long tables that could accommodate more than ten people dining together at the same time.
Fang Yun and Vavinia casually chose a two-seater spot and sat down.
There was an independent display screen on each side of the table, which was cycling through the various dishes, drinks, and alcoholic beverages available for this bonfire party.
Fang Yun scrolled through the menu a couple of times, ordered a set meal that looked pretty good, and then looked up at Vavinia sitting across from him.
He saw that at this moment, Vavinia was propping her chin with one hand, while continuously scrolling through the menu with the other, searching for a dish she liked.
After all, Vavinia wanted to eat meat, but the menu in the stir-fry area happened to only have dishes with little "meat content."
Fang Yun looked at Vavinia's exquisite face and noticed a hint of distress in her eyes as she concentrated on picking and choosing from the menu, not noticing his gaze.
So, Fang Yun's gaze wandered over Vavinia, while his thoughts drifted:
"Who says there's little meat content in this dish? The meat content is way too much."
"One point less isn't enough, one point more is too much."
"This state right now is just perfect."
While thinking, Fang Yun felt his hand itching and couldn't help but grasp the air a few times.
Just then, Vavinia finished ordering her dish and looked up at Fang Yun.
Seeing Fang Yun clenching his fist where his hand felt itchy, Vavinia tilted her head, and then her pretty face flushed.
"Fang Yun, do you want... to order some wine?"
Hearing Vavinia's question, Fang Yun came back to his senses, but unexpectedly his eyes met hers.
Fang Yun looked Vavinia in the eye for two seconds without blushing or his heart racing, then raised his hand to his mouth, coughed, and said in a low voice:
"Cough. Let's not order wine."
"Isn't the cocktail area over by the barbecue stall? When we go eat barbecue later, we can just mix our own drinks."
"Remember to get me a glass then, oh, no, two glasses of golden butterfly honey aroma."
Vavinia was slightly startled when she heard Fang Yun's answer, then smiled sweetly.
"No problem."
While Fang Yun and Vavinia were chatting and laughing, time quietly slipped away.
The serving waiter, busy off his feet, accurately "threw" Fang Yun and Vavinia's dishes onto their table with precise movements, then left behind a "Enjoy your meal" before "waving his sleeve and not taking away a wisp of cloud" as he hurried to the next table.
Fang Yun saw the waiter's precise technique and couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up in his heart, while sighing:
"The waiters and chefs are all very hardworking."
After listening, Vavinia nodded in agreement.
"Because they are good at cooking and quick on their feet, it's basically the same group of people who work in the kitchen for every bonfire party. They are indeed very hardworking."
"Of course, corresponding to this hard work is pretty good compensation. Firstly, they can taste all food and drinks for free and receive euro subsidies. Secondly, they won't be chosen by Karl to be responsible for the party's finishing work. So, there are pros and cons."
Fang Yun showed a look of realization after hearing Vavinia's explanation.
"So that's how it is."
"In that case, Karl is truly an excellent Clan Leader."
Vavinia smiled slightly.
"Uncle Karl is indeed a very remarkable Clan Leader."
