Seeing that Lu Hanyun didn't react, several classmates pulled him along, because they still had to give President Xu face.
It's inappropriate to ignore someone who's treating you and inviting you for a drink.
Several male classmates around them knew about their "grudges and entanglements," so none of them wanted to miss out on making things worse.
Lu Hanyun walked over with a dark face. "Xu Xiu can drink, but let's make a bet: whoever drinks themselves out first has to call the other 'daddy'! How about it? Are you in for the bet?"
When the surrounding classmates saw that they were playing such a big game, they all gathered around.
Xu Xiu glanced at Lu Hanyun and whispered, "Old Lu, are you sure you want to bet this with me?"
"Yes, let's just say whether you dare or not."
While speaking, Lu Hanyun stole a glance at Liu Qianxue standing to the side.
"Alright, since Lao Lu has spoken, I'll oblige. But I won't call you 'Dad'."
"Whoever loses agrees to do something for the other that doesn't violate their principles, how about it?"
Hearing Xu Xiu's words, the surrounding classmates found it even more interesting and all agreed.
Lu Hanyun nodded, and the two prepared to start drinking.
"Old Lu, you choose what you want to drink."
Ning Bufan stared at Lu Hanyun with a pitiful look from a short distance away.
"Liquor."
"OK!"
Xu Xiu opened a bottle of 52° liquor, poured himself a glass, and drank it down in one gulp.
The students were dumbfounded. This wasn't a drinking contest; it was a fight to the death.
Lu Hanyun was also startled; he was just about to pour the drink into a paper cup.
As a result, Xu Xiu drank by himself, finishing more than half the bottle, while Lu Hanyun had only drunk one cup and was already unable to drink anymore.
The outcome is a foregone conclusion...
"Old Lu, with your drinking capacity, who gave you the courage to challenge President Xu to a drinking contest?"
A boy next to him said gloatingly.
"Yeah, Lao Lu, how come you're already giving up before we've even started?"
The girls in the class also joked about it.
Lu Hanyun's face was flushed, it was hard to tell whether it was from the alcohol or...
Seeing that they had drunk enough, Xu Xiu realized that there was no need for Du to drink to death, so he told Lu Hanyun to stop drinking if he couldn't drink anymore.
The classmates tried to persuade her to drink, but Lu Hanyun wouldn't listen and insisted on drinking. Suddenly, a pair of snow-white hands snatched the wine glass from her.
"If you drink it, you'll only embarrass yourself."
Liu Qianxue spoke, holding her wine glass.
Everyone was taken aback. Why was the Ice Queen joining in the fun today?
"Qianxue, I..."
Liu Qianxue didn't continue talking to Lu Hanyun, but instead addressed Xu Xiu:
"Xu Xiu, I'll drink with you..."
What's going on? The students around them were a little confused; the plot was changing so fast that no one could keep up.
"Well, Xu Xiu knows Liu Qianxue's drinking capacity; she can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
Xu Xiu muttered to himself.
"No, a man should still be a coward when necessary."
He immediately said with disdain, "Qianxue, I surrender to your drinking capacity, okay?"
Hearing Xu Xiu's words, the students burst into laughter. It really is the Ice Queen!
Xiao Ruoyan watched the commotion from the sidelines, occasionally chatting with Wang Mengqi, who had come over and was standing to the side, about gossip.
"Now that you've surrendered, does the bet we made earlier still stand?"
Upon hearing Liu Qianxue's words, Xu Xiu glanced at Xiao Ruoyan beside him. Seeing her nod, he replied, "A bet is a bet. What do you want me to do?"
Liu Qianxue pondered for a moment, then said, "How about this, you go on stage and sing a song."
There's a small stage in the central hall, complete with sound equipment and everything else.
The students thought it was a great idea and unanimously agreed.
The manager at the entrance was also quick-witted and had already sent someone to adjust the equipment. Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Xu Xiu couldn't refuse.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
"Qianxue, are there any requirements regarding what songs you sing?"
"I want to hear [My Deskmate]".
Upon hearing this song, the hall suddenly fell silent.
Xu Xiu understood Liu Qianxue's meaning and why everyone was silent. He nodded and walked onto the stage.
As the music started, Xu Xiu began to sing, but his eyes remained fixed on Xiao Ruoyan.
Will you remember tomorrow?
"The diary you wrote yesterday"
Will you still be thinking about tomorrow?
"You, who used to cry the most."
The teachers can't remember.
"You who can't guess the question"
"......"
As Xu Xiu sang, many female students inexplicably shed tears.
The whole class fell silent. Today's class reunion was free of comparison and boasting; it was all about reminiscing about the past and exchanging blessings.
I don't know if we'll be able to have the same reunion as today, but at least this class reunion was a great success and everyone was very happy.
After the class reunion ended, the other classmates said their goodbyes. Lu Hanyun specifically sought out Xu Xiu and asked, "Xu Xiu, have you given up on Liu Qianxue and chosen Xiao Ruoyan instead?"
"It's not that I gave up, it's that I was rejected!"
At this moment, Xiao Ruoyan, Wang Mengqi, and Ning Bufan were still watching the two of them from the side.
As Xu Xiu spoke, he patted Lu Hanyun on the shoulder, "Old Lu, being rejected isn't scary. The important thing is to persevere. Qianxue is still single. I believe in you. Keep it up!"
After speaking, Xu Xiu made an encouraging gesture.
At this moment, Lu Hanyun suddenly felt that Xu Xiu's image was so lofty and impressive.
But Wang Mengqi, who was standing to the side, said, "Lu Hanyun, don't listen to Xu Xiu. He was rejected before and he's unwilling to accept it, so he wants you to experience what it's like to be rejected too."
Lu Hanyun: "..."
Xu Xiu: "......"
After leaving the hotel, some people went home and went back to their mothers.
Xiao Ruoyan is sleeping at Xu Xiu's house today. She has been playing games with Xu Tinglong in her room these past few days.
The father and son seemed to have found common ground and a shared understanding of the meaning of life.
It's just that when you play fighting games, the fighting happens to take you from the game into reality.
The next day, after sending Xiao Ruoyan back to Shi County, he received a message from her on the way back.
Her Majesty the Queen: "Xiu, there's a surprise for you in a few days."
Your Excellency: "Would you repay me with your body?"
Your Majesty: "Emoji.jpg" I'll kill you.
Your Excellency: "What is that?"
Your Majesty: "A secret that cannot be told."
Your Excellency: "Alright, I'll wait and see."
After returning to Jincheng, Xu Xiu lost his appetite and kept subtly inquiring about what surprise Xiao Ruoyan had prepared for him.
Xu Xiu himself didn't realize that he hadn't celebrated a single birthday since his rebirth. He did remember Xiao Ruoyan's birthday, though, because he hadn't been able to make many plans last summer due to his recent rebirth.
Xu Xiu was going to make some plans for his birthday this year, but after thinking about it, it seemed that Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi both had birthdays in July.
Why do these people have to gather and celebrate their birthdays in a big party?
One morning in June, Xu Xiu woke up to find that Xiao Ruoyan had sent him a location at a hot pot restaurant in Jincheng.
Then Wang Mengqi and Ning Bufan also sent messages saying that they had already set off and were waiting for him.
Xu Xiu got up and washed up with doubts, then drove to the hot pot restaurant and pushed open the door to enter the private room.
He was sprayed in the face with confetti by the cannons next to him.
Just as he was completely bewildered, Xiao Ruoyan held up a cake and smiled, saying, "Happy birthday, Mr. Xu!"
Is today my birthday? I don't remember.
I subconsciously took out my ID card and glanced at it. It really was my birthday today. This was the first time someone had celebrated my birthday since I was reborn.
Seeing Xu Xiu's bewildered expression, Ning Bufan waved his hand in front of Xu Xiu.
"Old Xu, what's wrong?"
