A billiards club not far from Nanjing University.
The club wasn't very big, with only five tables, a toilet, and two mahjong tables, of which only two were open at the moment.
"Hello, would you like me to set up a table for you?"
A boy, who was staring at his computer, noticed that a guest had arrived and spoke up.
"How long are you going to keep doing this job?"
A lighthearted question arose.
The boy was taken aback, then he subconsciously looked up at the other person: "Brother Liu? What brings you here?"
This boy is Wu Da.
Liu Gang laughed and said, "Of course I came to see you."
Wu Da was caught by his roommate working a part-time job, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he still asked, "Where is everyone else?"
"Oh, I'm downstairs ordering something. I'm just waiting for you," Liu Gang said.
There are barbecue stalls downstairs.
Wu Da nodded, then asked somewhat nervously, "Do they know I'm working part-time?"
Liu Gang nodded: "Everyone knows that you, kid, actually kept it a secret from us and secretly took on a side job. You really don't treat us like brothers!"
Wu Da quickly waved his hand: "No, I didn't. It's a bit embarrassing, so I didn't say anything."
Liu Gang sighed and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just a part-time job, what's the big deal? There's no need to hide it. Earning money to support yourself is a matter of course, what's there to be afraid of?"
A hint of gratitude flashed in Wu Da's eyes: "Thank you, Brother Liu."
Liu Gang nodded, then looked around and casually asked, "How long are you going to cover my shift?"
Wu Da said, "I get off work at nine o'clock. I work the day shift, from eight in the morning to nine at night."
Liu Gang glanced at the time and said, "It'll be soon. Come down and eat something after get off work."
Wu Da nodded: "Okay."
"Alright, that's enough for now, keep up the good work!" Liu Gang patted him on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Wu Da watched his retreating figure and then smiled.
"How is it?"
At the barbecue stall, Gou Shengli watched Liu Gang return.
The latter said, "Wu Da is at work and will leave at nine o'clock."
Lin Xun and Gou Shengli exchanged a glance, and the former asked, "He didn't think too much about it, did he?"
"How could that be? He'll be down in a bit." Liu Gang waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh! You've all arrived?"
Just then, a surprised voice rang out, and a boy in a basketball jersey walked over and plopped down next to Liu Gang.
"You're late, you bastard!" Liu Gang glanced at him disdainfully.
Isn't this Zhao Jie from the sports academy that they know?
"Huh? Aren't there four of you in your dorm? Where's the other guy?"
Zhao Jie casually grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the table and asked while cracking them open.
"He'll be here soon. Before that, we'll get you drunk!" Liu Gang sneered.
"Hehe, now that I dared to come out today, I'm not going to go back drunk!"
"Today I'll show you what Nanjing University's number one drinker really is!"
Zhao Jie looked disdainful.
Lin Xun and Gou Shengli silently ate sunflower seeds, not uttering a word.
Drinking? They only drink a little. If they really wanted to have a drinking contest, they'd be in the hospital with someone to keep them company, wouldn't they?
Before long, the barbecue arrived one after another, and the group ate and chatted.
After all, when it comes to drinking, you should fill your stomach first.
"Brother Lin, how are things going between you and the school beauty lately?" Zhao Jie asked, looking at Lin Xun.
His tone was very normal, as if he wasn't the one who confessed to the school beauty before.
Lin Xun said calmly, "It's fine."
"Hey, you actually managed to win over the school beauty. I'm so envious," Zhao Jie shook his head, somewhat amazed.
When he first met her, he didn't take her seriously at all. But now, only a few weeks later, she has already won over the goddess.
Of course, he had a premonition beforehand, so he later gave up pursuing the school beauty.
The more Zhao Jie inquired about her deeds, the more solidified his feeling that he was "not good enough for her".
A goddess isn't someone anyone can just possess.
"That's fate. They look like a perfect match. Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me jealous." Liu Gang glanced at Lin Xun, then his lips twitched.
"Haha, Gangzi, why don't you go after the most beautiful girl in the department? I see we have Su Qing in our department, cough cough, and Chu Weiwei in the computer science department next door, right? With your status, Gangzi, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?" Gou Shengli said with a teasing look.
"Get lost! I have a girlfriend!" Liu Gang's face darkened.
These guys don't seem like good people. They're always trying to get him to pick up girls? Is he really that kind of person? He just likes looking at pretty girls.
"You know what, that girl, yeah, Su Qing, right? She's really outstanding. Last week she participated in a school-level speech contest and I heard she won first prize. One of our seniors from the sports department is even pursuing her." Zhao Jie said in a gossipy tone.
"Oh? Tell me quickly." Gou Shengli's eyes lit up, revealing a hungry expression.
Lin Xun looked over, somewhat surprised.
Su Qing was his high school classmate. Although they were now like familiar strangers, Lin Xun still paid a little attention to her when he heard her name.
Liu Gang glanced at Lin Xun: "What's wrong, kid? You're not still talking about him, are you?"
Lin Xun waved his hand: "How could that be? I already have a senior, and I only like her."
Everyone: ...
Damn it! No PDA allowed in our brotherhood!
Time flew by, and around nine o'clock, Wu Da came downstairs. The group didn't talk about any part-time jobs or anything like that; they just came to eat and drink.
After everyone had eaten their fill...
"Hey! Didn't someone claim to be the best drinker at Nanjing University? Tonight, you can choose whatever you like, white or yellow, it's up to you!" Liu Gang glanced at Zhao with a teasing look.
"Drink! You're already yelling before you've even had a drink? Just wait!" Zhao Jie stood up with a disdainful look, and soon after, he brought the wine and slammed it hard on the table.
"Come!"
"No calling for anyone tonight. Either bury me on the spot, or walk back!"
"You can sleep here too! No need to worry about sleeping on the streets!"
The group started their drinking party with shouts and cheers.
Dice, playing cards, and all sorts of other games are included.
In these late-night barbecue restaurants, the owners stay as long as the customers do; they work day and night shifts and can drink until dawn without any problem.
This drinking session was extremely intense; we finished two cases of liquor in just two hours.
"Are you sure you can handle this? The best drinker at Nanjing University? How many times the hell did you go to the bathroom?"
Liu Gang said to Zhao Jie with disdain.
Lin Xun and the others also had smiles on their faces. They had drunk quite a bit and felt bloated and uncomfortable, with their heads still a little dizzy.
"continue!"
After an unknown amount of time, the number of cars on the street became sparse.
Su Qingshi walked across the street like a fairy.
What she saw was a group of people acting drunk, including her boyfriend.
Su Qingshi frowned immediately.
Is this guy drunk again?
