Ji Xia Nu was Ji Tong's nickname during high school.
Because she loved to stand up for the weak and hated evil.
Ji Tong had completely forgotten about that nickname, but when Lin Shu spoke, her face turned red. "Alright, let's not talk about those trivial things from our student days."
When Meng Xiang saw her blush, she immediately teased, "What's wrong? We've been talking for so long and you didn't react at all, but you blushed after just one sentence from Lin Shu?"
"I'm just embarrassed to hear about those things from the past!"
Ji Tong quickly explained.
She wasn't afraid of Meng Xiang misunderstanding, but rather Lin Shu misunderstanding.
After all, who can be so loyal and love someone for so many years?
Anyway, she isn't.
Another girl chimed in, "No matter the reason, you're late. When the drinks come, you'll have to drink a penalty shot first."
Upon hearing that they were going to drink, Meng Xiang quickly said, "Let me make this clear first, I can split the cost of the drinks with you, but I'm allergic to alcohol and can't drink."
"An allergic reaction?" Ji Tong was a little incredulous. "After the college entrance exam, you drank all of us at the table under the table by yourself. Now you're allergic to alcohol?"
Meng Xiang was known for her drinking prowess back then. She could drink any kind of liquor, including baijiu, red wine, beer, and foreign spirits, and even add some Sprite.
Even the boys at school who could drink the most would shake their heads when they heard about her.
How can someone like this now claim to be allergic to alcohol?
Meng Xiang was almost in tears. "Do you think I wanted this? I was sick in college and took a lot of medicine. After I recovered, I not only gained a lot of weight, but my health also deteriorated, and I developed an alcohol allergy."
The girl sitting next to me laughed and said, "Oh, stop pretending. No one can be allergic to alcohol, and you can't be. Alcohol is just like water to you. How could you be allergic to water?"
A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories.
Meng Xiang's expression was also full of helplessness.
Ji Tong realized that Meng Xiang might actually be allergic to alcohol.
She doesn't drink during the day, so she simply said, "It's broad daylight, so let's not drink."
The girl sitting next to me said, "That won't work."
Meng Xiang also said, "Drink up, don't let me spoil the fun."
Lin Shu was seated at a table away from Ji Tong.
After he sat down, his first question to Ji Tong was, "Miss Ji, are you married now?"
"No, she was complaining on her WeChat Moments a while ago about how her mother was pressuring her to go on blind dates every day, and then she met a weirdo."
Meng Xiang answered quickly.
Ji Tong wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Lin Shu followed up by saying, "Really? I don't have Lady Ji's WeChat, so I don't know about these things."
Meng Xiang: "Then add it now!"
Ji Tong was extremely embarrassed. "If you don't call me Ji the Heroine, I'll add you."
"Okay, I won't shout anymore." Lin Shu smiled gently and took out his phone. "What's your WeChat ID? I'll add you."
"I'll push it to you."
Meng Xiang volunteered.
From the very beginning of the dinner, Ji Tong could clearly sense that Lin Shu's attitude towards her was a bit too intimate.
She is a bit oblivious to things, but she can clearly sense the difference in how men treat her.
But she doesn't want anything to develop with men.
During the subsequent dinner, Ji Tong didn't talk much to Lin Shu, making her attitude very clear.
Lin Shu didn't react, and Meng Xiangxian became a little anxious.
She pulled Ji Tong and said, "Come with me to the restroom."
As soon as the two stepped out, Meng Xiang asked, "Didn't you notice what Lin Shu was thinking? He spoke to you several times, but you didn't answer."
"...I answered."
"Is that what you call an answer? That's just being perfunctory. Didn't you like him back then? He said he was deeply impressed by you, and since he didn't have a girlfriend, he hoped to get to know you better."
"...He didn't like me back then, but now he's suddenly being so enthusiastic. I feel like he's either up to no good or he's trying to steal my attention."
Facing Meng Xiang, Ji Tong didn't hold back in expressing his thoughts.
Meng Xiang didn't believe Ji Tong's words and stared at her, asking, "You don't... have someone you like, do you?"
