"That's right, I'm already on the bus. So, I'm sorry, Jiayu, I can't have dinner with you."
"It's fine, it's fine, Senior Student Yuhan, your matters are more important." Lin Jiayu said, looking up to see Su Hao walking in after picking up the takeout at the door.
Her heart immediately pounded, because it was very likely that it would just be her and Su Hao now.
"What did Xiao Ran Jie say?" Su Hao placed the takeout on the table and sat cross-legged in front of Lin Jiayu.
"Su Hao? Are you with Jiayu?" Before Lin Jiayu could answer, Liu Xiaoran's surprised voice rang out.
"That's right, I'm having dinner with Jiayu today. Senior Student Yuhan, do you want to come?" Su Hao leaned close to the phone and whispered.
At the same time, his eyes restlessly scanned Lin Jiayu's chest.
"I'm not going, I'm going back to my hometown today. You just eat with Jiayu, remember not to bully her, okay?" Liu Xiaoran's tone carried a hint of deeper meaning.
"You're going back to your hometown today? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"I was worried that if I told you, I wouldn't want to go back. Alright, enough talk, you two hurry up and eat, I'm going to watch the excitement." Liu Xiaoran finished speaking and reluctantly hung up the phone.
Lin Jiayu, who was forced to listen to the sweet talk, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the call end.
But then the atmosphere became subtle. Lin Jiayu sat on the floor, her hands nervously clasped together, her face turning crimson.
It's really just the two of us! Should I ask Jiazhen Xuejie or Senior Student Yuhan if they're free? But they don't live nearby!
"What are you thinking about? Don't you want your phone?" Su Hao looked at Lin Jiayu's face, redder than a monkey's bottom, and unconsciously reached out to poke it.
"Ah? What phone?" Lin Jiayu looked up in a panic, only then realizing her phone had unknowingly fallen to the floor.
Lin Jiayu quickly picked up her phone, and just then, a message flashed across the screen. She glanced at it and immediately froze.
It was a photo of Li Shuxin and Lin Yingchun together. They were standing on a bustling street, both with long-lost smiles on their faces.
In the afterglow of the orange sunset, their joy was evident, making anyone who saw it unconsciously smile.
"Oh! They're chatting quite happily!" Su Hao also saw the message, a hint of emotion on his face.
In the original novel, these two should have been at odds, but he had resolved their hatred. Su Hao couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Shuxin and the Vice President actually made up?" Lin Jiayu scrolled down and found that Lin Yingchun had sent several more group photos with Shuxin.
The group members all started bubbling up, asking how they made up. Liu Xiaoran was especially active, sending several messages in a row, her gossip soul burning brightly.
"No wonder she was in such a hurry to hang up, turns out she was watching this drama. How could Lin Yingchun tell her? She should be asking me." Looking at Liu Xiaoran's message, Su Hao sighed and shook his head.
"You know?" Lin Jiayu suddenly looked up, staring directly at Su Hao, "You know how they made up? Tell me! Tell me quickly!"
"Uh… is gossip really a woman's nature?" Su Hao was startled by Lin Jiayu and took a step back, pointing to the takeout on the table, "Shall we talk while we eat? It'll feel more natural."
"No problem! I'll get plates for the dishes, you quickly open the wine, I'm not going home until I'm drunk today!" Lin Jiayu finished speaking, stood up with a 'whoosh', and walked towards the kitchen.
Su Hao looked at Lin Jiayu's back and couldn't help but lament that women are truly complex creatures.
One moment she was blushing shyly, the next she wanted to be sworn brothers with you.
However, this was exactly what Su Hao wanted; it would be easier to make a move when she was drunk.
But very quickly, Su Hao realized how big a mistake he had made.
"Hiccup! Lin Jiayu, I didn't expect you to hold your liquor so well!" After finishing another bottle of beer, Su Hao let out a drunken hiccup, leaning tipsily against Lin Jiayu's bed.
He really hadn't expected that he would be the first one to get drunk!
Unfortunately, with alcohol, when you feel slightly tipsy, your rationality has already disappeared. You'll confidently say, "I'm not drunk, I'm perfectly sober," and then drink glass after glass.
"Of course, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!" Lin Jiayu confidently patted her chest.
"Drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? Are you kidding? Look how red your face is?" Su Hao looked at Lin Jiayu's face, but pointed at Lin Jiayu's arm with disdain.
He was already disoriented.
"My face is red? It's just too hot!" Lin Jiayu said, casually taking off her jacket and throwing it onto the bed.
"You're not convinced, are you? Then let's drink more! I'll go get the wine!" Su Hao stood up, steadying himself on the bed, his steps wobbly.
"Idiot! The wine is in the fridge, what are you going to the toilet for? Are you going to drink toilet water? And you say you're not drunk?" Lin Jiayu looked at Su Hao and laughed arrogantly.
"Can't I just go to the toilet first? Talkative! Wait until I'm done, I'll knock you out later and make you understand who the king of… alcohol is." Su Hao pointed at the wall, finished his harsh words, then turned and entered the toilet.
Within a few seconds, Lin Jiayu heard Su Hao vomiting.
"Hahahaha! Su Hao, so when you 'release water', it's from… up there." Lin Jiayu leaned against the bed, laughing so hard she was shaking.
"You… you don't know anything! This is called strategic… ugh…" Su Hao didn't finish his sentence before he started vomiting again.
However, after vomiting, he felt much better, and his mind even cleared up a bit.
He turned on the tap, splashed cold water on his face, gargled, then pushed open the bathroom door. He saw Lin Jiayu lying on the floor, her head resting against the bed, her eyes slightly closed.
"Lin Jiayu, let's stop here today, okay? You've had too much to drink," Su Hao walked to Lin Jiayu's side and said softly.
"Are you looking down on me? I'm not drunk!" Lin Jiayu forcefully patted the floor, annoyed.
"But I'm drunk, I feel very uncomfortable now, can we please stop drinking?" Su Hao said softly, like coaxing a child.
"Then you say…" Lin Jiayu pointed at Su Hao's face, "Say I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"
"You can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, you are the king of alcohol! Is that good enough? Come, I'll help you to bed."
"I'm not going to bed, I want to give you a gift!" Lin Jiayu finished speaking, picked up her phone, and opened a video. Decadent music immediately started playing.
"You actually filmed it so clearly!" Su Hao looked at the battle scene between him and Liu Xiaoran on the phone screen, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.
This video was much more explosive than the one Lin Yingchun used to threaten him, after all, he and Liu Xiaoran were just messing around in the prop room at the time.
"Of course! I'm a born photography master! But secretly filming is wrong!" Lin Jiayu raised her hand and pressed the delete key, "So, I'm going to delete this video!"
