As soon as Lin Yue entered, Jiang Li immediately sat up from Cheng Shuyu's arms, a hint of joy on her face: "Yuezai, you've finally arrived. I was worried that your Dr. Song wouldn't let her go."
"He did come, but he stipulated that I must be home before ten o'clock." Lin Yue looked at her helplessly and sighed.
"Huh? It's only ten o'clock! That's way too early!" Jiang Li exclaimed, her mouth agape in surprise.
Lin Yue shrugged, looking helpless. "There's nothing I can do, the age difference is a given. Ugh, let's not talk about this unpleasant thing. Let me eat something, I'm starving."
"Come, come, sit here."
At that moment, the door to the private room opened again, and Gu Chaoyan walked in with a group of people. She was wearing a gorgeous evening gown, her makeup was exquisite, and her hair was styled in a high bun, making her look noble and elegant. However, her eyes revealed a hint of displeasure and arrogance.
Those present exchanged bewildered glances and began whispering among themselves: "Who invited her? She showed up uninvited?"
"Yeah, how rude!" Someone even muttered under their breath, "Are they here to cause trouble?"
Gu Chaoyan ignored the whispers and walked straight up to Ji Huai, saying coquettishly, "Ji Huai, you're really not being fair! You didn't even tell me about the celebration banquet? What, were you afraid I'd rush to pay the bill? Luckily, I have a well-informed friend who found out you were here."
After saying that, she turned to face the crowd, a smile returning to her face: "Everyone, I will cover all the expenses in this private room tonight. Please enjoy yourselves to the fullest."
Upon hearing this, the students who had been gossiping just moments before immediately changed their expressions, greeting him with smiles, "The boss is so generous!"
However, as her gaze swept across the room, it suddenly landed on Lin Yue, who was sitting on the corner sofa. Her smile vanished instantly, replaced by surprise and disgust. "Lin Yue? What are you doing here?"
"If you can come, why can't I?" Lin Yue was happily eating when she was suddenly called out, which made her very unhappy.
Gu Chaoyan pursed her lips, glaring fiercely at her. She always kept her brother's words in mind; the Song family was an entity they couldn't afford to offend or associate with. Because she was Song Yunzheng's wife and the Song family's daughter-in-law, no matter how much she disliked her, she dared not do anything and could only swallow her anger.
Gu Chaoyan tried her best to calm her anger and deliberately looked to the side to change the subject, "Now that everyone is here, how about we play a game? Just drinking and singing is no fun."
Upon hearing about playing games, the classmates nearby immediately cheered, "How about Truth or Dare? We happen to have some game items here."
"Dare or dare is fine, but truth or dare is out of the question. Who listens to the truth these days? It's the cheapest thing."
Jiang Li immediately raised her hand and shouted, "I agree! Let's play this! Truth or Dare is the most fun!"
Then everyone gathered in a circle, and there was a large spinning wheel on the table. They spun it hard, and whoever the arrow pointed to would have to accept a dare or truth-or-dare punishment.
"I'll spin the wheel for the first round." Gu Chaoyan eagerly placed her hand on the wheel, her eyes scanning the circle, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Ready? I'm starting now, 3, 2, 1, go for it..."
As the turntable spun rapidly, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they stared intently at the arrow. After 10 seconds, the arrow slowly stopped in front of Lin Yue.
"Wow! It's Lin Yue, Lin Yue, Lin Yue!" The students erupted in cheers.
Lin Yue sighed heavily, looking helpless. "Alright, what game should we play?" What incredible luck! She was the first one to be chosen!
Gu Chaoyan stared at her, then suddenly smiled slyly, "Simple, just call Tang Shiting, the most handsome Thai language teacher in our school, and confess your love!"
Tang Shiting is a legendary figure at B University, the most handsome male teacher in the entire school, with a face that can charm everyone. Although he is over thirty years old, he looks younger than everyone present. Time seems to have been exceptionally kind to him.
"No! I'm not available." Lin Yue instinctively refused; it wasn't appropriate for a married woman to make such a joke.
"What? It was just a joke, can't you even handle this?" Gu Chaoyan smiled contemptuously, her eyes filled with provocation. "Your teacher is so old, what are you afraid of when she tells an elder she likes him?"
Upon hearing this, the students became interested and kept encouraging her, "Yeah, Lin Yue, it's okay, this is a rare opportunity, give it a try! We really want to hear the handsome teacher's voice!"
Lin Yue glared fiercely at Gu Chaoyan, gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, slammed her hand on the table, and stood up. "Fine, let's fight! Who's afraid?"
She took out her phone, found Tang Shiting's number, and dialed it. The call was answered quickly. Lin Yue pressed the speakerphone button, making sure everyone could hear her clearly, "Hello, Professor Tang, this is Lin Yue from the Finance Department, a third-year student. Do you remember me?"
Tang Shiting was having dinner with a friend when he heard that the other person was Lin Yue. He suddenly remembered her; she was a very pretty and kind-hearted girl who had taken his elective course. So he smiled and said, "Lin Yue? Of course I remember you. You were the most enthusiastic girl in class. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Upon hearing the name Lin Yue, Song Yunzheng paused in his chopsticks-picking motion, immediately put them down, and listened intently. It was such a coincidence; he and Tang Shiting had grown up in the same compound, both were young masters from Beijing's elite circles, and hadn't seen each other for a long time. They happened to both be free today, so they decided to meet up for a meal.
The students covered their mouths, stifling their noise, and looked at Lin Yue with excited expressions.
Lin Yue cleared her throat and said sweetly, "Teacher Tang, you are so handsome. You are the most handsome teacher I have ever met. You can also speak multiple languages. We all like you so much."
"Really? Thank you. I really like students like you; you're so bright and clever." Tang Shiting was a little puzzled. Had this kid been drinking? Why did he call just to say this?
"Thank you, teacher. I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye." Lin Yue hung up immediately, waving her phone and looking at Gu Chaoyan defiantly. "Finished playing? Next round, I'll take the spin!"
