Everyone who attended the 2+Y event drank quite a bit.
Because they were happy, and also because some people were intentionally or unintentionally urging them to drink.
Audrey Cole drank a little too much, her head felt heavy, but she was still quite conscious.
Someone at the back even came forward to toast her; it was John Henderson beside her who helped block it.
This led to some teasing about her and John Henderson.
"You two were famous on the campus couple list at school. Honestly, have you two started dating?"
"Yeah, both of you heading to Y Country this time, was it arranged secretly between the two of you?"
"So nice! Both of you are so outstanding, even studying abroad together, it's really enviable."
"You two better not hold a wedding as soon as you return to the country?"
The more they talked, the more outrageous it became, leaving Audrey Cole in tears and laughter.
"That's not happening. Even if there was a wedding, I'd wait to collect your contributions."
