Li Wanqing then helped Chen Yu fill Lei Bi's cup, and then filled her own cup as well.
“Mr. Chen, let me toast you again. You are truly our benefactor. Not only have you provided us with such a good living environment, but you have also always cared about our growth and development.” After saying this, Li Wanqing raised her glass again, her eyes filled with sincerity and gratitude.
Chen Yu smiled at her, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He nodded slightly, raised his glass, clinked it against hers again, and drank it all in one gulp.
"You two are both excellent, and I have high hopes for you both," Chen Yu said, his tone filled with encouragement and expectation.
Hearing Chen Yu's praise, Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan were both very happy. They knew that this was not only an affirmation of their personalities, but also an expectation for their future.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chen. We will continue to work hard," Zhang Zihan said, her face beaming with a confident smile.
“Mr. Chen, I would also like to offer you a toast separately. If it weren’t for your shelter, we would probably be two cold corpses by now.”
Li Wanqing's voice trembled slightly as she recalled the days she struggled to survive in the extreme cold of the apocalypse, and a strong sense of gratitude welled up in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's expression tightened slightly. He knew all too well the hardships these young girls had endured in the apocalypse, and he understood what his help meant to them.
He gently patted Li Wanqing on the shoulder to offer comfort and encouragement.
Then, he raised his glass and drank Lei Bi's wine in one gulp.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Zhang Zihan tentatively asked, "Mr. Chen, what about my senior sister...?"
"Don't mention this person to me, it annoys me." Chen Yu snorted coldly.
As he spoke, he glanced, intentionally or unintentionally, at Liu Menghan, who was fiddling with experimental equipment not far away.
Chen Yu's displeasure was palpable, making the atmosphere at the dinner table subtly tense once again.
Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan exchanged a worried look. They knew that mentioning Liu Menghan again at this moment would only make Chen Yu more unhappy.
"Mr. Chen, I was being presumptuous. Let me offer you another toast!" Zhang Zihan quickly smoothed things over, raising her glass in an attempt to steer the conversation away from Liu Menghan.
Chen Yu glanced at Zhang Zihan, feeling somewhat annoyed. In this situation, shouldn't you be punishing yourself with a drink? Why are you toasting me again?
To be honest, Chen Yu doesn't usually drink much, and his alcohol tolerance isn't very high. After a few glasses of Lei Bi, he was already feeling a bit tipsy.
But since Zhang Zihan had already raised her glass, he felt embarrassed to refuse, so he also raised his glass, lightly clinked it with Zhang Zihan's, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that Chen Yu was already slightly drunk, Li Wanqing suddenly had a bright idea: if she got Chen Yu completely drunk and made him black out, would he forget Liu Menghan's previous offense and stop pursuing the matter?
Although the idea was a bit bold, Li Wanqing felt it was worth a try.
After all, if Liu Menghan hadn't found them, they wouldn't have had the chance to board this airship.
“Mr. Chen, you are truly a hero in our hearts. Not only did you lead us to a safe haven in this apocalypse, but you also always cared about our mental health, making us feel the warmth of home.” Li Wanqing’s words were filled with deep emotion. She gently raised her glass, her eyes shining with sincerity. “This glass is on behalf of all those you have taken care of, to you!”
Hearing Li Wanqing's words, Chen Yu felt a warm current well up in his heart. He was slightly taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter: "Haha, Little Li, you have such a sweet tongue, which young man will be able to resist you in the future! Alright, I'll drink this one!"
After saying that, Chen Yu really drank the Lei Bi in his cup in one gulp. It was clear that he was already a little drunk, his eyes began to become hazy, and he started talking more.
After drinking that glass of wine, Li Wanqing was feeling a bit too strong, so she decided to take a break and gave Zhang Zihan a look.
The two were studying abroad together and were inseparable best friends before. During the most difficult days of the extreme cold and apocalypse, they supported each other and overcame the difficulties together.
Therefore, there is a tacit understanding between the two that does not require words.
Seeing this, Zhang Zihan immediately understood Li Wanqing's meaning. She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, raised her glass, and said to Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen, I'd also like to toast you. Thank you for your help, thank you for giving humanity hope. You are like our lighthouse, guiding us in the right direction."
Hearing Zhang Zihan's words, Chen Yu smiled with satisfaction. He raised his glass slightly, clinked it against Zhang Zihan's, and then downed it in one gulp. By now, he was somewhat tipsy, but the heroic spirit in his heart grew even stronger.
"Xiao Zhang, you are all excellent, and I am very pleased. In this apocalyptic world, it is a rare fate that we can gather together and face difficulties together. Come, let's drink to this fate!" Chen Yu said, raising his glass again.
As a man, it's really impolite of him to keep having young women toast him.
So this time, he decided to take the initiative and show off his generosity.
Seeing this, Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan exchanged a smile. They knew that Chen Yu was already a little tipsy, but this was also their chance. So, they both raised their glasses, clinked them with Chen Yu's again, and then drank them down in one gulp.
