Chu Chu stated: "Okay, I will go back."
Chu An was satisfied with his sister's attitude, "You should go back first, don't keep your classmates waiting for too long."
Chu Chu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt both grateful to her brother and a hint of self-blame in her heart: "I'm so sorry, I made you make such a wasted trip and time." Chu An smiled gently, and that smile was full of understanding and tolerance for his sister: "It's okay, if he wants to avoid us, we can't force him. Next time we have a chance to see him again, we will definitely try to keep him and have a good chat."
With a simple "hmm" in response, Chuchu waved to her brother and said "bye", then opened the car door and ran towards her apartment with brisk steps, as if the air was filled with the joy of returning home and the anticipation for the upcoming party.
As soon as she entered the apartment, she was immediately enveloped by a warm atmosphere. Her friends sat around a coffee table, a variety of teas and unopened drinks on it, clearly waiting for her return before officially starting to eat. Seeing Chuchu return safely, the three of them instantly broke into bright smiles, a tacit understanding and joy that could be deeply felt without words.
Song Nuan was straightforward and spoke first, her words tinged with playfulness: "Oh, I was worried that our party would turn into a 'pigeon show'. Luckily you returned in time!" Chu Chu smiled and shook her head. The tension caused by the little episode instantly disappeared. "How could that be? I came back hungry. Let's get started!"
At Chuchu's command, everyone sprang into action. They worked in perfect harmony, some tearing open bags of food, letting the aroma of delicious food instantly fill the room; others busily pulled chilled drinks from the refrigerator, adding a touch of coolness to the gathering. Chuchu even personally selected a bottle of red wine from the exquisite wine cabinet that Gu Bobert had specially prepared for her. The bottle shone alluringly under the light, foreshadowing that tonight's gathering would be even more warm and beautiful.
Zhao Qing's eyes sparkled with a keen eye for fine things. She gently stroked the bottle of exquisite wine as if she was appreciating a work of art. "Chu Chu, this bottle of wine doesn't look simple. It must be expensive, right? I guess it must be at least 200,000, right?" There was a hint of amazement in her tone that was hard to conceal.
Song Nuan's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she was so surprised that she could barely control her expression. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that she would scream out in surprise. "Oh my God! That's more than our entire family earns in an entire year!" Her voice was filled with disbelief, as if she had just learned a huge secret.
Zhu Zhu also looked stunned. She opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth slightly, as if trying to find a glimmer of rationality in this incredible fact, but in the end she could only shake her head helplessly, with the word "unbelievable" written all over her face.
Seeing this, Chuchu's lips curled up into a warm smile. She gracefully opened the bottle, then took out four crystal-clear goblets and gently placed them on the table, her eyes revealing a carefree and heroic spirit. "Come, let's enjoy it today. This wine would be a waste if we don't drink it. Don't worry, my father Gu has plenty of wine at home. To him, this bottle is just a drop in the ocean among the many treasures in the cellar."
With the crisp sound of clinking glasses, the four of them raised their glasses together. At that moment, the air was filled not only with the aroma of wine, but also with the scent of friendship and laughter. Song Nuan couldn't wait to take a sip first. Instantly, her eyes lit up, "Wow, this tastes amazing! It's so much better than the hundreds of yuan bottles I've had before. The fresh aroma is overflowing, and the aftertaste lingers in my mouth for a long time. It's amazing!"
Zhu Zhu carefully tasted it, and then a blush appeared on her cheeks. She smiled shyly, "So this is the legendary good wine. Although I don't know much about wine, I really think it tastes good. The fruity aroma is particularly rich and it makes people linger in the aftertaste."
Zhao Qing, on the other hand, looked like she was enjoying her meal with relish. She took a generous swig and sighed contentedly, "Good wine is meant to be drunk in large quantities. Besides, we're all adults, so we still have some freedom. I have to savor this wine carefully and make sure it lives up to its delicious taste."
During the one-hour happy time, Song Nuan enthusiastically started Chu Chu's well-equipped home theater. The room was instantly filled with light, shadow and melody, as if the whole little world was immersed in a sea of movies and music.
As the atmosphere gradually heated up, Song Nuan suggested, "How about we sing? Let's make this night even more memorable!" The suggestion immediately received a warm response, with everyone agreeing. Someone even excitedly said, "Okay, okay, let's sing and dance at the same time! I want to show off my skills and do a hot girl group dance!"
Amidst the laughter and joy, they were completely unaware of the quiet passage of time, much less aware that this bustle had quietly crossed the boundary of neighborhood tranquility. Finally, a slightly hurried knock on the door shattered the harmony in the room. Song Nuan, still a little drunk, stumbled to open the door, mumbling, "Who is it? It's so late?" When she finally focused her eyes, the scene before her instantly sobered her up, and she screamed, "Ahhhhhhh... She... No, he just rushed in!"
Before she finished speaking, Su Rong had already taken quick action and turned off the deafening music. This scene made Song Nuan feel as if she were in a dream. She couldn't help but shout, "School Prince Su Rong! Pinch me! I must be dreaming!"
Su Rong's sudden appearance not only shocked Song Nuan, but also made Zhu Zhu and Zhao Qing look at each other in bewilderment. Zhao Qing whispered in disbelief, "Are you seeing things? It's really him, the Su Rong from the law school?" Zhu Zhu quickly turned to Chu Chu and asked jokingly, "Chu Chu, did you secretly invite the school hunk here to give us a surprise?"
Chu Chu was a bit troubled by this series of changes. She rubbed her temples lightly and walked forward with her usual arrogant attitude, arms crossed in front of her chest, with a look of helplessness and confusion in her eyes: "Classmate, what can I do for you?"
Su Rong's expression was equally complex. He said somewhat helplessly, "It's already 11 o'clock in the evening. I need to rest, but your party is too loud. It has already constituted a disturbance to the surrounding residents."
When Chu Chu heard this, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of frustration in her heart. She realized that her image in Su Rong's heart might have been greatly reduced.
Seeing this, Zhao Qing quickly stepped forward and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. We didn't expect to bother you so late. We'll be done soon. We apologize again for the inconvenience."
Chuchu was a little angry for no reason. She replied with a hint of anger: "The music has stopped, and the reason has been explained. My classmate, you are still standing here, are you planning to join our party?"
