Isn't this just attracting hatred towards me?
Sure enough, he immediately noticed that the eyes of several old classmates were looking at them as if they were class enemies.
He quickly clarified, "Don't listen to her nonsense, actually..." As he said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong. How should he explain this? Should he tell them that he was the one who pursued her? If he said she was joking, they would definitely not believe it. What girl would joke about such a thing?
If he denies it directly, others will just think he is a scumbag.
His relationship with Yang Jinxia seemed to be confirmed all at once.
He was really speechless. At this moment, he felt that men were indeed a vulnerable group.
Yang Jinxia was looking at him, and then she continued, "Okay, actually, I was just joking, please don't mind."
"No, no." Several students said hurriedly.
Chen Xu believed that it would not be long before news would spread among his classmates that he was being pursued by a beautiful girl.
However, this feeling is not bad.
It's really so honorable.
"Hello, hello, everyone." At this time, a man on the stage who looked like a wedding host was testing his sound with a microphone, "Welcome everyone to the wedding banquet of the Liu and Zhang families..."
Chen Xu didn't attend many weddings. After graduating from college, he only went to Lao Tang's wedding. At that time, Lao Tang didn't invite too many people, just relatives from both sides and colleagues from the company, so it was relatively simple.
Liu Xiaoshang's wedding was much more grand this time. The venue was decorated very carefully, with colorful strips and balloons. A wedding host was specially invited, and there were several cameras nearby, filming from various angles.
Chen Xu thought that this was probably the bride's request. Although he had never met her in person, she had left a deep impression on him when she checked on him during the last meal with Liu Xiaoshang.
After a while, a newlywed couple came on stage.
Chen Xu noticed that the bride looked unhappy. He couldn't help but sigh for Liu Xiaoshang. She had to show her displeasure to her husband at the wedding. I'm afraid her married life would not be easy.
After the bride and groom played a few games on the stage, they drank the wedding wine and left the stage. Then, the bride disappeared, leaving Liu Xiaoshang alone to toast at each table.
The dishes were served one after another.
"What do you want to drink?" Chen Xu asked Yang Jinxia.
There was a bottle of white wine, a bottle of red wine, a bottle of Sprite, as well as coconut juice, orange juice, etc. on the table, allowing the guests to choose.
She said, "Coconut juice."
Chen Xu picked up the drink, poured her a glass, and poured himself another.
"Hey, drink this." Cai Bin next to him poured a glass of white wine, placed it in front of him, and took the glass of coconut juice away.
Chen Xu said, "I have to drive later."
"Just let your girlfriend drive it." Another classmate also said.
"If that doesn't work, let Xiao Shang get you a room so you can stay here for one night."
"Anyway, you have to drink today whether you want to or not."
Chen Xu saw that they were all looking at him, and they were determined to get him drunk. His scalp was a little numb. As expected, there was a price to pay for being so pretentious. This time, it aroused public outrage.
"My stomach has been feeling bad lately, so I really can't drink." Chen Xu tried his best to refuse.
He wasn't lying. The last time he drank too much, he felt very uncomfortable. The headache was fine, but the problem was the stomach. The discomfort of wanting to vomit but not being able to vomit lasted for most of the day. He never wanted to experience it again.
Cai Bin continued, "Don't worry, I'll prepare some stomach medicine for you later."
"What's wrong?" At this time, the groom saw the noise and came over.
"Everyone is trying to get Chen Xu to drink, but he just won't drink."
Liu Xiaoshang thought this was impossible, especially when he saw Yang Jinxia sitting next to him. He walked over, took a cup, filled it up, put it in his hand, and said, "Today is my big day, you must drink a cup."
As he spoke, he took a glass of wine from the best man next to him and said, "I'll drink it first." He tilted his head back and drank it all, then turned the cup upside down to show that he had finished it.
Chen Xu saw that everyone was looking at him, and he hated this kind of culture of forcing people to drink. For a moment, he was in a dilemma whether to drink or not.
"Good." The people watching nearby cheered.
Seeing her put the cup to her lips, Chen Xu grabbed her hand, took the cup back, and drank it all in one gulp. After swallowing, a stream of hot air rose up and rushed to his nose, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"That's more like it. Another one." Liu Xiaoshang poured him another glass.
This time, Chen Xu was very straightforward and drank it. He knew that these guys would not give up until they got him drunk.
Fortunately, Liu Xiaoshang didn't go too far. He toasted everyone and then left.
After drinking three cups in a row, Chen Xu felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He quickly sat down and ate several mouthfuls of food before he suppressed the effect of the alcohol.
At this time, a can of chicken soup was served. Yang Jinxia stood up, filled a bowl, placed it in front of him, and said, "Drink a bowl of soup, it will make you feel better."
After everyone drank, the atmosphere became much more lively. The only female classmate at the table asked Yang Jinxia, "By the way, how did you two meet?"
Yang Jinxia picked up a piece of fish and put it in the bowl. When she heard her question, she said, "It was about two and a half months ago. I had just been transferred here and was living in a hotel. One afternoon, I went out to buy something and just got off the car. He ran over to talk to me, and that's how we met."
Just like that? The six men at the same table were stunned and looked at Chen Xu with their mouths open. It was too unscientific to just chat her up and get her done.
"So, you fell in love at first sight?" The female classmate was a little unbelievable and glanced at Chen Xu. His face was a little red due to drinking, and no matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem to be that charming.
"Actually, men often try to chat with me, but I never pay attention to them." Yang Jinxia said as she picked out the bones from the fish in the bowl, dipped it in soy sauce with shredded ginger, and put it in Chen Xu's bowl.
Her movements were so natural that several men stared in amazement.
"But for some reason, he made me feel very special, like someone I had known for a long time. When we returned to the hotel, we ran into each other again. I felt at that moment that he and I were really destined to be together."
After listening to this, Cai Bin murmured, "Why do I have to come to this wedding? It's not enough to be abused by the groom once, I have to be abused by you again."
"Come on, have a drink." Someone raised his glass.
The female classmate's boyfriend stood up, filled Chen Xu's cup, and said, "No more words, come on, drink."
Chen Xu also took the risk and started working without any further ado.
Several classmates took turns to toast him, and Chen Xu also got high and basically accepted all the drinks. In the end, he didn't know how much he had drunk until he couldn't drink any more and fell on the table in a daze.
If Yang Jinxia hadn't supported him, he would have slipped under the table.
Next to him, several of his classmates had already fallen down.
At this time, the banquet was almost over. Yang Jinxia happened to see the groom and waved him over to help look after Chen Xu. Then, she drove the car over, put the chair down a little, and helped Chen Xu up to lie down.
"Thank you." After finishing her work, Yang Jinxia expressed her gratitude.
"You're welcome." Liu Xiaoshang took turns to toast the guests. He didn't know how many glasses he had drunk, but he was still very energetic and not drunk at all.
She asked casually, "By the way, I heard from Chen Xu that you saw me when you had dinner together last time?"
"Yeah, he even told you that."
"When was that?"
"Uh, about three months ago."
"Where was it?"
"Over there at XX Square."
Yang Jinxia's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Let's do this for now. I'll take him home."
Liu Xiaoshang said, "Well, let Chen Xu take you out for dinner when there's a chance."
"Okay, bye."
