Although the conversation between father and daughter ended unpleasantly, Lao Lin's words still took root in her heart.
Uh, she meant that line about "goals."
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Lin Chaoxi woke up with the help of the alarm clock.
There were so many WeChat chats that it was impossible to read them all. However, the classmate in charge of organizing the event was very thoughtful and sent her a separate WeChat message to inform her to gather at hg&ktv&bar at 5 pm today.
The specific address and map are also included in the WeChat message.
Lin Chaoxi replied with a message - "Received", and started to get up and wash.
The clothes she had worn for three days were no longer wearable, so she opened the closet and took out a black T-shirt and denim shorts. Before closing the door, Lao Lin's words popped out again.
Does the success of a relationship have anything to do with clothes?
How about changing the black T-shirt to a red one?
——
hg&ktv&bar is not far from the school, and there are already people waiting in the lobby.
Only when he arrived at the place did Lin Chaoxi understand what the "hg" at the beginning meant.
hg=huoguo=hot pot
Yes, this is a comprehensive entertainment venue specifically for college students that integrates KTV, bar and hot pot.
There are also three claw machines at the entrance of the venue, with a piece of paper pasted on it saying "Spending over 20 yuan = 1 game coin", which perfectly demonstrates the word "comprehensive".
The classmate who was in charge of organizing the dinner was obviously an expert in organizing the student union. He had booked the largest private room here. He was looking at his phone downstairs, told her the room number, and told her to just go straight inside.
There were three large round tables in the room, a light ball emitting colorful lights hung from the ceiling, a projection screen hung on one wall, and there was a small stage and a microphone. It really was a professional KTV.
After just a short tour, Lin Chaoxi sat down and the door of the private room was opened again.
Comrade Xiao Nengshou led Jie Ran and Pei Zhi into the house.
Most leaders are slow to respond, but Xie Ran and Pei Zhi are obviously different.
As soon as the two came in, Comrade Xiao Nengshou began to arrange seats for them. He seemed to want to lead them to the main seats facing the stage.
"It's very easy for you to sing on stage from this position." Xie Ran said this with a smile, and suddenly raised his head, "Is there an empty seat next to classmate Lin? Would you mind taking me and Pei Zhi in?"
"No...no one."
Xie Ran took Pei Zhi and sat down next to her. Xie Ran smiled softly and said, "You don't mind, do you?"
Lin Chaoxi was puzzled. What don't you mind?
"It's too easy to get toasted at that position." Pei Zhi explained.
"Why are you afraid of being toasted? I'm sitting here because Xiaolin is not wearing a black T-shirt today, which is rare."
"..." Lin Zhaoxi was speechless for a moment. She raised her head slightly and asked tentatively: "Actually... I put on makeup today..."
"Xiaolin is naturally beautiful and has great skills."
"Please order directly."
"It's the same whether I drew it or not. Maybe I'm too straight?"
Lin Zhaoxi: "Don't, don't say it."
Pei Zhi followed suit and laughed.
As long as there is a solution, you will never be afraid of a dull occasion at the table.
Lin Chaoxi observed for a while and then understood why Pei Zhi and Jie Ran took the initiative to sit next to her.
Obviously, the place where they are is the main seat. Comrade Xiao Nengshou just wanted them to sit next to his seat, but Pei Zhihe was not the kind of person who would go along with it.
In fact, we don’t even need to go into the academic circle. Even in a small competition group like theirs, no matter how harmonious the atmosphere is, there will be little selfish desires of one kind or another.
However, Comrade Xiao Nengshou is, to a large extent, a good comrade who works hard and never complains, so his selfish motives are not worth mentioning.
——
It was a little after 5 o'clock when Lao Wang and A Guang finally arrived. With the arrival of these two people, they naturally took on the burden of being criticized.
"Wang Jiang, Guang Shen, you actually participated in the group activity. I'm sorry to have such a great visit from you!"
Lao Wang didn't understand the meaning of the words at all, and waved to the crowd: "Everyone, please sit down. I'm not disturbing you when I'm not here, right?" Lao Wang pointed at her and said.
Lin Chaoxi was just eating some candy on the table. He waved at them and asked them to come over and sit down.
"You worship Wang Tianlong as your master, isn't it good for our classmate Pei Zhi?"
Xie Ran teased Pei Zhi, but Lin Chaoxi pretended not to understand: "Teacher Wang is my teacher in the cram school for postgraduate entrance exams."
"Student Wang Tianlong is qualified to be a teacher. Isn't this misleading young people?"
Lin Chaoxi looked at Jie Ran and blinked.
Xie Ran was stunned.
"It doesn't matter. After all, you can do it." Pei Zhi spoke slowly.
"Evil..." Jie Ran pointed at Pei Zhi, but swallowed the word "disciple" at the end. Lin Chaoxi smiled and gave him a candy.
"Wow~"
Suddenly, a low shout broke out in the box.
The surroundings suddenly became dark, and the colorful lights in the KTV were spinning around, which created a very atmospheric atmosphere. The projection screen behind the small stage lit up, and KTV hits were played from the stereo. Classmate Lao Zhang was organizing everyone to go on stage and sing to warm up the audience.
There were about 30 students attending the dinner, and there was definitely a microphone enthusiast. Lin Chaoxi did not join in the fun. After just three songs, everyone shouted that they couldn't stand it anymore and started to "want hot pot" and "want freedom"!
Seeing that the atmosphere was warm enough, Comrade Xiao Nengshou stood in front of the microphone and said with a smile: "Serve the food right away, don't be impatient, but we agreed that this party must include drinking. This is still a bar, everyone should give face to the boss!"
The door of the private room opened, and the waiter brought up a tray with glasses of colorful cocktails.
In the murky atmosphere, Lin Chaoxi subconsciously looked at Pei Zhi.
Others may not know, but in the cheese world, she once saw Pei Zhi and Chen Zhu drinking. Pei was indeed very handsome when drinking. However, after drinking, everyone found out sadly that Pei was allergic to alcohol...
It's not serious, but it would probably be uncomfortable to have a rash all over my body.
"Is there any other drinks? I don't drink." Lin Chaoxi asked.
"How can you not drink?" Comrade Xiao Nengshou's eyes widened, but he smiled in an instant, "The blue one is called Dream Ocean, both are non-alcoholic cocktails, please be humble and try to drink as little as possible."
She is indeed a person who is good at dancing alone, and she is very good at it. Lin Chaoxi was at the table where the waiter served the dishes, and the wine in the tray was placed down beside her.
She didn't think much about it and just picked up a cup of Dream Ocean and put it in front of Pei Zhi. She was about to ask Jie Ran what he wanted, but she saw Jie Ran smiling.
And then...then she was stopped.
"Hey, classmate Lin Chaoxi, what you are doing is wrong. Why don't you let our Brother Pei drink?"
"Do you care so much about Pei Zhi?"
"Great protection!"
It was dark and noisy all around, and Lin Chaoxi subconsciously explained, "He's allergic to alcohol."
"Really?" Xie Ran suddenly asked with a smile.
"You don't know?"
Xie Ran: "This guy won't hang out with me and never gives the teacher face."
This answer was very reasonable. Lin Chaoxi panicked. She seemed to have confused the two worlds again. She and Pei Zhi were not familiar with this world at all. She knew things that even the teacher didn't know. She felt like a crazy fangirl.
She pointed to the door and said weakly, "I'll go ask if I can have something else to drink."
After she finished speaking, she pulled out the stool and sneaked out.
Lin Zhaoxi fled in panic. Jie Ran turned to look at Pei Zhi with a smile: "It's good to be young."
However, Pei Zhi did not react. He held the slender neck of the cocktail glass with one hand and gently turned it half a circle, wondering what he was thinking.
"Why are you so shameless? You don't blush or feel nervous. You are not lovable at all." Jie Ran said.
"What reaction do you want to see?"
"I'm shy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Zhi raised his clear eyes and said seriously: "Why are you shy? I really don't like going out with the teacher."
Xie Ran really wanted to curse the "evil disciple" again, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered again that Pei Zhi was Zeng Lao's student, and in terms of seniority, he should be considered his uncle, (in parentheses, with a small word in front).
So, he decided to keep quiet.
At the table, Wang Tianlong finally finished picking out the cocktails on the table and suddenly looked up: "Where is my evil disciple?"
A group of boys at the table started to joke again: "Wang Jiang cares about our classmate Lin Chaoxi?"
"But have you asked our classmate Lin what he thinks?"
"What do you mean?"
"Does Lin have a boyfriend? Is there someone you like?"
"Yes, classmate Lin is so cute and has a good personality, but someone drove a car to chase him to the bus stop. Wang Jiang, have you ever considered your own strength?"
"Oh, you mean love?" Old Wang suddenly realized, "To be honest, I have long felt that my disciple might have improper thoughts about me. Today, he even changed his clothes to accompany me for dinner."
Everyone else at the table was laughing so hard, and Xie Ran didn't expect such a sudden turn of events.
Wang Tianlong pushed his glasses and didn't intend to stop: "What's the use of being cute? A woman who is all show and no substance can't compare to my wife!"
"Who is your wife?"
"a51r-1878."
"The alien that costs 70,000 yuan a unit?" The computer science students couldn't stand it. "Can a computer have the good figure and sweet smile of our classmate Lin?"
Everyone at the table was laughing so hard that they were rolling on the floor. The lights in the private room dimmed again, and a girl came on stage to sing a classic old song that was full of lingering feelings.
Xie Ran took a sip of the pink cocktail in front of him. It was easy for boys to turn the topic of talking about girls in a not-so-righteous direction. Xie Ran was just about to stop the current topic.
Pei Zhi suddenly pushed away the chair and stood up.
Xie Ran raised his head slightly: "What do you want to do?"
"I'll go take a look." Pei Zhi said.
——
Lin Chaoxi stood in the toilet and mourned for a moment at the face in the mirror. Why did she put on makeup before going out today? Now she couldn't even wash her face.
She washed her hands helplessly and walked out of the restroom, but saw Pei Zhi at the reception desk on the third floor.
Pei Zhi was looking through the drinks menu, and when he saw her he asked directly, "What do you like to drink?"
"Coke, Coca-Cola!" Lin Chaoxi said without hesitation.
"Ice cream or room temperature?"
"Let's have some ice, let's have some hot pot."
Pei Zhi nodded and said to the waiter, "Two cups of iced Coke."
"Hey, do you want a Coke too?"
"Yes, after all, I'm allergic to alcohol." Pei Zhi looked into her eyes and said so.
Lin Zhaoxi: “…”
Pei Zhi swiped his phone and paid the bill. Lin Chaoxi saw Pei Zhi paying and quickly understood. Because these were drinks they ordered individually, they should not be included in the dinner fee and paid for by others.
Two large cups of Coke cost 20 yuan in total, and the receptionist gave them a game coin. Lin Chaoxi wanted to give Pei Zhi 10 yuan, but Pei Zhi didn't take it and instead stuffed the game coin into her hand.
Lin Chaoxi looked back and his sight fell on the claw machine at the door.
