CHAPTER 666: CHAPTER 363 HELPLESS_2
"Alright, alright, let’s all sit down first and then talk."
Zhong Mingjie, the class president, spoke up, and everyone gave face. So, the group went into the big tent of the food stall and sat down at a table a bit inside.
Then came the ordering of dishes, and of course, with the dishes came the alcohol. How could an old classmates’ reunion be without drinking?
As for driving, no one planned to go back tonight; everyone was staying in town, so there were no concerns about that.
Even the two women, Lou Xiaojiao and Yu Xiaohui, drank beer, so there was no need to mention the four men.
So, two cases of beer were brought over first.
Xie Xiaohua, that guy, was the most eager, being the first to open a bottle, distributing one to everyone. Seeing this, Chen Feng felt a bit helpless. Could he refuse to drink in this situation? He lived just in town, and it would only take a few minutes to walk back.
"Come on! It’s been a long time since us old classmates have seen each other, especially for Chen Feng, as it’s been over ten years since we’ve met him. So, I suggest we toast one bottle first to celebrate our reunion after a long time."
With Xie Xiaohua saying this, the four men had no objections, but Lou Xiaojiao protested: "Us two women definitely can’t drink like this. We’ll just take a sip, as a gesture. You men drink as hard as you want. If you get drunk, we two women will handle the aftermath."
Those words were truly on point.
Xie Xiaohua immediately said happily, "You said it, eh. If we four men get drunk later, you two women must get us back. You know where my parents’ house is, right?"
"What house or not? Aren’t there only two hotels in town? By then, I’ll find someone to carry you guys in directly."
Chen Feng listened with some speechlessness, looking at her. Sure enough, she was an unreliable woman.
"Alright! Loyal! Then we four will drink boldly. Come on, bottoms up!"
After saying this, Xie Xiaohua didn’t say a word more and started chugging down the beer, gurgling loudly.
Zhang Ming, seeing this, was not to be outdone and followed suit.
Zhong Mingjie, seeing this, gave a somewhat helpless glance at Chen Feng and then also tilted his head back to drink.
"Chen Feng, are you a man or not? Drink!" Lou Xiaojiao stirred things up as she saw Chen Feng not drinking and urged him.
The other three men also stopped their actions of drinking and all looked at him.
Zhang Ming said, "Chen Feng, don’t tell me you can’t drink. I remember our junior high graduation dinner was at this very food stall, and you could really drink back then."
Xie Xiaohua directly urged, "Hurry up. Not drinking is like not giving us old classmates face."
Although Chen Feng didn’t want to drink, it wouldn’t be a problem if he really had to. After all, he had drunk with Qin Zhen quite a few times in Xiu Zhou.
He couldn’t avoid it now.
So, he didn’t put on a show. Without another word, he tipped his head back, finishing a bottle in less time than the other three.
He really did pour it in. This skill of chugging a bottle he learned back in college with Qin Zhen, and though he hadn’t done it since graduating, now that the occasion arose, he couldn’t help but recall it and tried it again.
The result was that his current skill was even better than when he was in college, which might be related to his now stronger physique.
Chen Feng’s clean and swift drink left the people present somewhat stunned.
"Damn! I knew you could drink!" Zhang Ming, with a face of admiration and envy, praised.
"Chen Feng, you’re really full of surprises!" Xie Xiaohua expressed with envy and jealousy. Due to his business dealings, he often drank with others, and having such chugging skills would be quite advantageous in the business world.
"Chen Feng, you really got it!" Zhong Mingjie joked with a smile.
"Bravo! Impressive!" Lou Xiaojiao clapped and gave a thumbs-up while laughing.
Yu Xiaohui, on the other hand, expressed concern, "Drinking like that too quickly is not good for your health. Don’t drink like that later."
"Hehe, Chen Feng, Xiao Hui cares about you so much. Aren’t you going to express something?" Xie Xiaohua laughed mischievously.
Chen Feng didn’t pay attention and sat down directly.
Lou Xiaojiao laughed and chimed in, "Chen Feng, Xiaohua is right, later you should properly toast a few glasses to Xiao Hui."
Yu Xiaohui playfully nudged Lou Xiaojiao beside her, pretending to be angry.
The other three men also finally finished their bottles and sat down.
Chen Feng, somewhat tactlessly, asked, "Do any of you know how Cai Yue’e is doing now?"
The group was initially taken aback, then Lou Xiaojiao said, "I know. Cai Yue’e is doing quite well. She married over to Feiyun City, her husband owns a shoe factory, has some money, and treats her very well. A few years ago, she had a son. Recently, we spoke on WeChat, and she said she’s about to have their second child, probably a daughter."
Xie Xiaohua muttered, "Her husband is really something, marrying such a fierce and ugly woman."
Lou Xiaojiao gave a dismissive look, "She succeeded in losing weight long ago and is now quite the beauty. Otherwise, her husband wouldn’t have pursued her for years. Several male classmates in our class, who know what she looks like now, regret it quite a bit."
Xie Xiaohua immediately felt a bit depressed. Seeing this, the group didn’t continue the topic.
The dishes at the food stall came quickly, and not long after, dish after dish was served. Everyone chatted and drank, especially the four men who, after a few bottles of beer and starting to feel light-headed, spoke louder and the atmosphere grew more lively.
By the time Chen Feng felt a bit tipsy, more than an hour had passed. He first went to take a leak, then came back to sit and barely managed another drink before indicating it was about time to head back.
As a result, he was tightly held by the noticeably drunk Xie Xiaohua and Zhang Ming, insisting on continuing to drink.
Chen Feng found this troublesome; he couldn’t possibly just knock them out, could he?
So, Chen Feng planned to simply drink them under the table, then he’d be able to leave.
He just miscalculated his current alcohol tolerance a bit, and also underestimated this bunch of old classmates’ ability to persuade drinking. Initially, he was one-on-three, but then Lou Xiaojiao and Yu Xiaohui also joined in. Moreover, they just took a sip while Chen Feng had to drink a full bottle, and refusing was not an option. Lou Xiaojiao, that bold woman, even came over to pour it into his mouth, very fiercely.
As a result, when Chen Feng finally had the three male classmates drinking under the table, he himself couldn’t walk anymore. Standing up and taking a few steps, he fell.
The two women quickly stepped forward to help him up together.
"Alright! This counts as going down together. Haha!" Lou Xiaojiao, the crazy woman, laughed happily, "Come on, let’s get Chen Feng into the car first."
Chen Feng, wobbling as he walked, was helped by the two women into the back seat of a Mercedes, while Zhang Ming and the other two were put into a Hummer.
