Chapter 23
Lang Shu, the class monitor, truly lived up to his reputation after so many years. With his strong organizational skills, he managed to gather the whole class and bring them to a restaurant.
He even secured a large private room with three round tables combined and negotiated a discount with the owner.
It was spacious enough to accommodate the entire class!
Lin Jianzhi followed the group and walked to the far corner, sticking close to the wall.
She had just finished crying and didn't want anyone to notice.
Moreover, what did Zhu Liheng mean when he approached her earlier?
She was eager to know but didn't dare to message him. All she could do was stare at the chat box and wait anxiously.
Before long, the homeroom teacher, Hu Tan, arrived as well. As soon as he stepped into the private room, he was greeted with cheers!
It gave Hu Tan the mistaken impression that he was the most popular teacher in the whole school.
Once everyone was seated, Lang Shu started busy ordering dishes, while Mu Yin excitedly called for beer.
Hu Tan initially thought as a teacher and adult, he should take charge, but he soon realized he was entirely unnecessary. The students could handle things themselves.
The whole class started cheering and drinking beer!
Hu Tan nodded with a smile, saying, "Have a drink, have a drink. Exams are over, haha."
Lin Jianzhi didn't want to dampen everyone's spirits, so she timidly raised her hand in agreement.
The boisterous noise in the private room never ceased. Since Lang Shu and Mu Yin were always seen together, everyone teased them to drink a toast. Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com
Mu Yin was a bold and assertive person. She promptly slammed her glass on the table and declared, "Drinking a toast is fine! After finishing, all of you have to drink too!"
Jiang Jingyi chimed in, "I'm not good at drinking, but three bottles won't be a problem!"
Lang Shu replied, "You call that not being good at drinking?"
Quan Kaiji playfully calculated, "We'll match how much you two drink!"
Mu Yin retorted, "Stop trying to trick us!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
On the side, Hu Tan raised his phone to record a video, thoroughly enjoying the lively scene.
Lin Jianzhi watched from the corner, laughing along with everyone else.
How wonderful it was...
As the dishes were served one by one, the whole private room was already buzzing with excitement.
...
Outside the restaurant at that moment.
Several cars parked in their designated spots.
One by one, people got out of the cars and greeted each other before heading into the restaurant.
Among them was Chen Jingman, who had dressed up beautifully and followed her cousin, Chen Wei.
Chen Wei pulled Chen Jingman along quickly and approached the man wearing a white shirt at the front.
But due to her personality, she didn't boast and hadn't told anyone about it.
Lang Shu's eyes lit up. "How about a toast then? Cheers!"
Lin Jianzhi forced herself to finish the drink in her glass.
She hadn't even had a bite of food yet...
Lang Shu shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, come and congratulate Lin Jianzhi!"
As for what they were congratulating her for, it didn't matter, and no one asked.
At the same time, he opened the door of the private room and shouted, "Waiter! Hangover soup! Ten servings!"
It seemed like they were all ready to drink as much as they wanted and then have hangover soup.
Everyone rushed over, surrounding Lin Jianzhi and starting to celebrate.
Lin Jianzhi nearly went crazy!
She sat in this corner trying not to attract attention, but thanks to the class monitor's shout, well, this corner became the liveliest place.
She didn't reject the enthusiastic classmates, just that she wasn't used to it.
Fortunately, after a few drinks, this group of people forgot what they were supposed to do and found seats to sit down and chat about everything and anything.
No one would actually force a girl to drink excessively at a gathering like this. The main purpose of this gathering is to make everyone happy.
Lin Jianzhi quietly changed her seat and sat at another table that was relatively quiet.
Here,
there's Jiang Jingyi, who claims to have an extraordinary tolerance for alcohol, sleeping soundly.
There's also Quan Kaiji, who is determined to create trouble for couples, imitating Jiang Jingyi's sleeping position.
And there's the homeroom teacher, Hu Tan, enthusiastically capturing videos of the lively atmosphere.
Mu Yin, who was initially lying down, sensed some movement nearby and raised her head to take a look.
"Lin Jianzhi..." she mumbled sleepily, handing over a glass of wine absentmindedly.
Lin Jianzhi was slightly tipsy and after a moment's hesitation, she accepted the drink.
After finishing it, she unlocked her phone, gazing at Zhu Liheng's profile picture.
No response.
She felt very sad, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
Mu Yin, still in a daze, leaned closer and asked, "Why are you smiling?"
Lin Jianzhi replied, "Sob, sob, sob!"
Mu Yin said, "They're talking about you like that, and yet you can still smile?"
The thought of the posts on the campus forum made Lin Jianzhi cry even harder!
Mu Yin exclaimed, "Damn it! You're still smiling? Today, I must make you drink!"
With that, she collapsed.
