Chapter 231 Counselor, fallen!
On the far left side of the lawn, Concubine Chen drank two-thirds of the red wine in the glass, frowning slightly.
After drinking such a large cup in one breath, she would still feel a brief sense of discomfort in her body.
They are now playing Truth or Dare, and the amount of drinking penalty is set relatively high.
In this way, everyone is actually forced to answer questions and complete tasks.
Among the people present, except Cheng Zhu, everyone was a little confused as to why Concubine Chen wanted to drink?
They guessed that Teacher Chen probably didn't have a boyfriend, otherwise, why would she deny it?
People like Dong Dong thought: "It seems that there is someone he likes, but he doesn't want to say it out loud."
"Hiss, could it be that there is someone you love but cannot have in your heart?"
The three bitchy dogs smelled a hint of gossip.
Our teacher Chen is so beautiful, is there any man she can’t win over?
Which man is so awesome?
——Damn it, he really deserves to die!
The girls started to wonder, "Is Teacher Chen hurt in some way? But he still can't let go of that person, so he doesn't want to talk about this topic, and then he feels upset and takes the initiative to find a drink."
"It felt like her expression just now was a bit complicated."
Only Cheng Zhu turned his head and looked at her deeply, with some guesses in his mind.
Chen Jieyu looked at him who had been staring at her, and the eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses actually dodged away.
It was this dodge that allowed Cheng Zhu to capture some information.
He knew very well in his heart that there were only a few possibilities for why he chose not to answer such an easy question.
Or maybe it's because of your status that you don't want to talk to students about these things, but if that's the case, what are you doing sitting here? I've been drinking with students, but it's not that serious.
Or maybe there is someone you really don't want to mention.
Of course, it is possible to have someone you love but cannot get him/her.
However, there is another possibility.
That is why she avoided this question because the person in her heart
——Just sit here!
At this moment, the truth or dare game continues.
Cheng Zhu picked up the red wine and began to pour it into Concubine Chen's glass. According to the rules, he poured it to two-thirds of the glass.
He had had a drink with her before and knew that she could actually drink quite well.
But there is definitely a huge gap between him and the wine gods he met in his previous life.
However, he felt that the game should have ended before Concubine Chen got drunk.
With Liu Feng and the others' drinking capacity, this game couldn't last more than a few rounds.
After about half an hour, Cheng Zhu could tell that they were drunk.
For example, Liu Feng once helped Chen Tingting drink some wine. Although Chen Tingting had a low alcohol tolerance, he still wanted to be a hero. Chen Tingting, on the contrary, was very sober.
It's almost time to break up here.
At this moment, Chen Jieyu's cell phone lit up and she received a text message.
She glanced down, her eyes dimming slightly.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Zhu asked casually.
"Nothing, my cell phone bill is overdue." She answered truthfully but didn't say anything else.
It's really like when it rains it pours.
Life is so strange sometimes. The tighter your financial situation is, the more things that require you to spend money will come up.
Cheng Zhu looked at her and didn't ask any more questions.
The game can no longer continue now. If you want to drink more, you can play here for a while. If you don’t want to drink, you can go back to your room.
Cheng Zhu and Chen Jieyu got up and went upstairs together, but Cheng Zhu still held the jug of fruit wine in his hand.
"Are you worried about something recently?" This 'male best friend' started asking as they walked up the stairs.
"I guess so." Concubine Chen nodded.
"Chat?" he asked.
"Where are you going?"
"Let's go to the living room of my room," he said.
Concubine Chen was already a little tipsy, but she still looked around instinctively.
"Don't worry, there's no one here." Cheng Zhu shook his head and laughed.
But it's true. After drinking, the counselor and the student walked into the same room together. If someone saw them, that would be terrible!
Therefore, after entering the room this time, it was Chen Jieyu who closed the door at the speed of light.
The two sat back on the sofa.
Cheng Zhu picked up the cup in the room and planned to go to the bathroom to wash it.
Before washing, he asked, "Do you want to drink more?"
He didn't ask if you could still drink.
After thinking about it, Concubine Chen nodded slightly.
It's a rare opportunity to come out, so I come here to completely relax.
She wanted to forget all these worries, deal with tomorrow's affairs tomorrow, and think about future difficulties later.
The counselor is actually feeling a little depressed right now.
On the one hand, it’s the question you draw when playing Truth or Dare.
She actually had the answer in her heart, and she was very clear about it.
But, perhaps because of taboos, or perhaps for other reasons, she herself is unwilling to face it.
Maybe even because of inferiority complex?
Apart from that, she had been deliberately trying not to think about the difficulties of her current life today.
But the sudden text message about overdue mobile phone bills brought her back to her original state.
Now, even when she recharges her phone bill, she has to do it little by little, using up a little bit and then recharging a little more.
Concubine Chen could endure poverty and desolation.
A child who has never received much love since childhood has long been accustomed to this.
Her pain mainly came from the fact that she always felt that she had settled down in Hangzhou, had a stable job, and had ushered in a new life!
But this time, the 50,000 yuan made her realize that it was not the case.
She even lost her only hope in this family.
At this moment, Cheng Zhu washed the cups and placed one in front of her.
When he poured fruit wine into two glasses, he poured a little for her and more for himself.
"You have been drinking red wine just now. It is best not to mix wines, so be careful when you drink later and don't drink too much." He gave a warm reminder.
He didn't want to see this abstinence counselor with gold-rimmed glasses lying on the toilet in his room and vomiting.
That's too broken.
Concubine Chen nodded slightly.
"Tell me what's on your mind." Cheng Zhu said.
The other person glanced at him, then lowered his head, placed his fingers on the cup, gently turned the cup, and whispered: "Cheng Zhu, do you think I am a fake person, living a fake and hypocritical life, or living a vain life?"
Cheng Zhu smiled and said directly: "Yes!"
"You're talking bullshit, of course there is," he added.
Concubine Chen looked at the wine in the glass and fell into silence for a long time.
Yes, her carefully packaged personality had completely collapsed in front of him, so of course he felt that he was fake.
Moreover, perhaps for truly wealthy people, her "refined poverty" should be very obvious.
She wanted to defend herself several times, to explain the reasons and why she was like that, but in the end she was hesitant to speak.
Cheng Zhu smiled and continued, "Do you know why many people think socializing is a tiring thing?"
"Why?" She is exactly the kind of person who finds socializing difficult.
“Socializing is tiring because many people try to show qualities that they don’t possess.” Cheng Zhu described how some people are when they are socializing.
He is fine because he lives a free and easy life.
For example, if you want to show off, just do it, who cares!
Of course, the consequence is that I was reborn.
"Actually, you don't have to tell me this. Have you forgotten the passage from The Moon in the Mountain that I told you the last time we drank together?"
Chen Jieyu nodded slightly: "I remember that. Later I went to the library to borrow this book and I have finished reading it."
"Oh, don't talk to me about the content of this book. I haven't read it. I've only seen some excerpts." Cheng Zhu is not one to pretend to be knowledgeable.
She looked at him and smiled slightly.
The two raised their glasses and each took a sip.
As the alcohol took effect, Chen Jieyu felt a little hot, so she took off her thin coat and only wore a silk shirt.
This skin-friendly material can perfectly show off her slim body curves.
But after drinking a little too much, her body will naturally sag a little.
This made her long hair look even more dishevelled, but it did weaken her abstinence a bit.
Cheng Zhu just sat opposite her like this, and the two chatted about random things.
Occasionally, they would raise their glasses together and take a sip of fruit wine.
In fact, through some of Chen Jieyu's words and actions tonight, Cheng Zhu has already got her answer to the game of Truth or Dare.
Please, it's almost late at night.
He drinks with the opposite sex in the room, talks with them openly, and shows his vulnerability. Can you really just treat him as your male best friend?
Of course, Cheng Zhu could probably guess what was on her mind and what was worrying her.
He guessed that it might still be related to his original family.
This is something you can't choose, but it's hard to get away from.
The suffering brought by a bad family of origin will come from time to time.
He couldn't help but think of the ending of Concubine Chen in his previous life.
She must be missing a lot of things in her heart.
Moreover, for those who are used to living a strong life, do they really feel that it doesn't matter if they have no one to rely on?
Does she really not care about someone who has never been pampered since childhood?
Of course not.
Fortunately, when Cheng Zhu really wants to comfort people, he has some ability in this area.
He would say a lot of things that seemed to make sense, but upon closer inspection, they were all nonsense. He would also insert some jokes in between, and since he was a straightforward person, you would just think he was being himself and find it funny.
First they confuse you and make you dizzy, and then they change the subject to make you laugh.
The problem is definitely not that easy to solve. It can't be solved in a few words. He hasn't thought about what problem to solve for her now.
As for a scumbag, he may not be able to give you anything else, but he will definitely give you plenty of emotional value.
At last, Chen Jieyu raised her eyes to look at him and said softly, "Thank you for comforting me. I feel better now."
Cheng Zhu looked at her flushed cheeks, and her slightly blurry eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses, and felt the taboo and ambiguity of being in the same room with the counselor who was drunk.
He knew very well what the woman in front of him needed and desired in her heart.
He knew too well what method would be the most fatal to her.
Did you say thank you for comforting you?
Cheng Zhu leaned forward slightly and said in a very calm tone:
"No, I think I'm just teasing you."
