Chapter 95: Let loose after the exams
Chapter 95: Let loose after the exams
Li Peixiang finally revealed his true colors as a rich second-generation at this last moment.
He booked a deluxe private room, and when the waiters brought in a large entourage of fruit and food on trolleys, the five boarding students all gasped in unison.
The trolley was left in the private room, and the coffee table was quickly filled with decorations. The two waiters remained calm throughout, since when they came in, there were constant wailing and howling coming from the private rooms on either side. These were all high school seniors who had finished their exams and were having fun. Compared to that, this was nothing.
After the waiter left, Meng Xiaoyang blinked twice and asked uncertainly, "Is...is the whole class coming?"
Li Peixiang: "No, it's just the six of us."
Chen Yu craned his neck to look at the snacks on the cart, his expression contorting.
“Brother Xiang, oh no, President Xiang is so domineering,” he twisted his neck, “I don’t want to sing tonight, I’ll just eat.”
"That's why I told you not to eat. Eat whatever you like. This is a private room for the whole night, so feel free to do whatever you want," Li Peixiang said generously, then a sly look appeared on his face. "Oh, and I also ordered some drinks~"
Wang Wei stuffed two pieces of cantaloupe into his mouth and said, his words slightly muffled, "Okay, anyway, I'm an adult now—"
Li Peixiang scanned the crowd and said, "That's right, the college entrance exam is over, can't we even relax? Don't worry, drink as much as you want, no one will care."
Fang Yuenian watched with a smile as this man acted like a tycoon. When she heard this, she turned her head to look at Cheng Bing, who was sitting very close to her. "He asked me to drink."
Cheng Bing glanced at him with her eyes slightly lowered, then turned her gaze to Li Peixiang and said strictly, "He can't drink alcohol."
Chen Yu: "Why aren't you drinking? Are you going to get drunk and cause trouble? What's the big deal? We're such good friends..."
Fang Yuenian: "That won't work either. I'm terrible when I'm drunk, right, Brother Cheng?"
Cheng Bing smiled and said, "Indeed."
Li Peixiang couldn't stand it anymore, snorted coldly, and his eyes clearly said, "Here we go again."
The waiter came in again and brought them a whole case of canned beer. He opened more than twenty cans and Fang Yuenian rolled his eyes at him, saying, "Let's see if you'll still be awake tomorrow morning."
Now that the drinks are here, the proper ceremony must be performed. Li Peixiang shouted loudly, "Quickly, quickly, those who want to drink, drink; those who want to drink juice, drink juice. Let's have a toast first!"
The atmosphere immediately became lively. The six of them gathered around and hurriedly opened the cans. Meng Xiaoyang opened a bottle of wine without waiting for anyone to persuade him. Fang Yuenian said she wouldn't drink, so she calmly opened a bottle of orange juice and then asked Cheng Bing, "What do you want to drink?"
"Of course he drinks!" Li Peixiang shouted. "Brother Nian, it's one thing for you to be useless, but don't hold Brother Bing back. Come on, Cheng Bing, you take this can!"
Fang Yuenian thought Cheng Bing wouldn't drink, but Cheng Bing actually accepted.
He looked surprised, and Cheng Bing asked in a low voice, "Can I drink it?"
Li Peixiang felt a soreness in his teeth and quickly interrupted, "Alright, alright, I know you two are brothers, there's no need to be so controlling, right? Brother Nian, say something."
Chen Yu was swayed and joined in the commotion: "If you don't want to drink, fine, but Brother Bing looks like he can hold his liquor. Xiao Yang has already been drinking, so let's have some fun!"
Fang Yuenian: "...Yes, of course."
Cheng Bing chuckled, and the group cheerfully raised their glasses and clinked them together. Li Peixiang shouted "Happy Graduation!" but then, remembering there was still a lot to do, he changed his tune to "Happy Exam Finish!"
The group laughed and said his words were too commonplace, but they couldn't think of anything better, so they compromised and finally said together, "Happy exam over," and then drank their first drink of the night with gusto.
The ceremony is done, now it's time to start having fun.
Li Peixiang was quite thoughtful, ordering a lot of snacks for them to eat. Chen Yu looked around and tossed a round, hard orange to Fang Yuenian, saying, "Brother Nian, eat this! This is definitely sour."
Wang Wei laughed and joked, "Brother Nian, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time. Since you like sour food so much, you'll probably have a son someday, hahaha... Ah! Why are you taking pictures of me?!"
Li Peixiang: "Go and choose a song quickly, we'll come back to eat later, it won't run away."
"I'll choose! I'll choose one of my signature songs!" Chen Yu rushed to the machine. "Today, I'm going to show off my singing talent!"
"Didn't you say you just wanted to eat?" Li Peixiang shouted. "Let me tell you, if you dare to order any of those weird, noisy dishes, I guarantee I'll kick you out!"
Chen Yu ignored him and was about to play his signature catchy song when Li Peixiang quickly ran over to interrupt, and the two started arguing in front of the machine.
Wang Wei was truly engrossed in eating, while Cheng Bing had already peeled an orange for Fang Yuenian. The two of them were huddled together, laughing and discussing whether it was sour or not. Meng Xiaoyang looked around, sighed helplessly, and leaned lazily against the sofa.
The moment I stepped out of the examination room, I was indeed excited and thrilled, filled with a sense of satisfaction and relief as if a huge burden had been lifted. But now, slumped on the sofa in this brightly lit private room, exhaustion and a feeling of loss, as if I had lost something very important, have finally come over me.
He stretched and caught a glimpse of Li Peixiang walking towards him out of the corner of his eye, so he turned his head and asked, "Have you ordered yet?"
Li Peixiang sat down next to him. "Whatever. Why aren't you eating anything? Aren't you hungry? I think I ordered yogurt."
"Let's eat later, let me rest."
Li Peixiang raised an eyebrow and smiled: "What's wrong? Tired? You can't do that, we're going to party until dawn. Wait, did you drink too much after just one sip?"
"No," Meng Xiaoyang hummed, "it just feels so good to lie here like this, oh my god."
Li Peixiang had never seen him like this before. After all, he always looked like he had been trained, standing or sitting upright wherever he was. It was already quite surprising that he had offered to drink earlier. It took him a while to say, "Okay, okay, you go first, lie down. Come on! Chen Yu, hurry up, why haven't you started yet after you've been ordering for so long? Hurry up and sing us a song."
Wang Wei opened a package of puffed snacks and handed it to Meng Xiaoyang, who straightened up and picked up two pieces.
Wang Wei sat down on the sofa and chuckled, "He only knows one song, just that one. I don't know why he kept asking for it."
Turning to hand the snacks to Fang Yuenian, he saw Fang Yuenian stuff a segment of orange into Cheng Bing's mouth. The straight-man Xiao Wang subconsciously felt that the two brothers were quite close. "Brother Nian, have some potato chips."
"Oh," Fang Yuenian agreed, and Cheng Bing tilted her head back to look. "It's spicy."
“Oh, then I won’t eat it,” Fang Yuenian withdrew her hand. “You eat it, I’ll open another pack.”
Wang Wei: "You don't eat any spicy food at all? You really can only have sons."
One sentence made several people laugh, and Li Peixiang didn't try to smooth things over, laughing heartily. Meng Xiaoyang covered his face.
Just as Fang Yuenian was about to start cursing, Chen Yu's ear-piercing shout of "I Wanna Rock" reverberated throughout the entire private room, stunning everyone.
Li Peixiang said in despair, "It's over."
The heart-wrenching singing came over us in a surround sound.
Wang Wei, in a desperate attempt to create atmosphere, turned off all the main lights, leaving only a ring of interlaced bright and dim colored lights, completely dragging everyone into a vortex of "enjoying" the beautiful singing.
It was too noisy around, so Fang Yuenian leaned close to Cheng Bing's ear and asked, "Do you want to request a song?"
Cheng Bing smiled and said loudly, "I want to hear you sing."
Fang Yuenian shook her head in terror, "No!"
Cheng Bing's smile deepened, "It's okay, you can sing anything."
Fang Yuenian leaned close to Cheng Bing's ear and said, "I want to hear you sing the song from your harmonica exam."
Cheng Bing was a little surprised and looked at him. Fang Yuenian asked, puzzled, "What?"
Cheng Bing stopped shouting and, amidst Chen Yu's devilish singing, leaned close to Fang Yuenian's ear, so close that her lips almost touched his earlobe, and asked, "Did you throw away your recorder?"
Fang Yuenian could only nod. Cheng Bing smiled and breathed on his thin skin on his ear, quickly turning it red. "I'll play the harmonica for you another day."
"You mean what you say?" Fang Yuenian tilted her head and looked at him, somewhat incredulous.
Cheng Bing: "Of course."
Li Peixiang had been watching the two of them whispering to each other without a care in the world for a while, and he looked conflicted. Taking advantage of Wang Wei going over to cheer for Chen Yu, he lightly patted Meng Xiaoyang, who was watching the fun, and gestured, "Look."
Meng Xiaoyang said, "I can't see."
Li Peixiang chuckled, "When do you think we should interrogate them?"
“You don’t even need to ask to know,” Meng Xiaoyang said with a hint of arrogance, “but they’ve endured it long enough.”
Li Peixiang now finds the two of them so lovey-dovey, but he also feels a bit sentimental, "Hey, if they were really together, wouldn't you feel, how should I put it, quite relieved?"
Meng Xiaoyang smiled, "Indeed."
He and Li Peixiang had been secretly speculating about this for a long time, almost as long as Fang Yuenian and Cheng Bing had been speculating about them.
If it were a boy and a girl dating early, everyone would find out sooner or later. They would make a fuss about it openly and spread some gossip behind their backs. Generally speaking, everyone would support and bless them. Unfortunately, given Fang Yuenian's good reputation and Cheng Bing's glamorous image, even if it were true, it would be difficult to make a big fuss about it.
Meng Xiaoyang suddenly felt a little empty.
He Linjie contacted him immediately after the exam, wanting him to come to his house for dinner that evening, saying it was Shufen's idea.
Meng Xiaoyang mentioned that there was a class reunion, and He Linjie readily agreed, saying that he would come a few days later after the reunion.
That's how it was settled.
Chen Yu finally ended his high-pitched song amidst everyone's pain, his own voice cracking. He quickly went to drink water, and Wang Wei took over, choosing two low-key, melancholic love songs that made everyone feel depressed.
Li Peixiang said in despair, "How could I have thought that, apart from Chen Yu, the rest of you could at least sing well? Who made me have such a wrong idea?"
Chen Yu: "Damn, who are you talking about?"
Fang Yuenian chimed in, "How does he manage to be so emotionally invested? You'd think he'd been dumped ten times already."
Wang Wei sang so intensely that he almost lost control. When he finally finished, he clutched his chest and said, "Oh my god, I'm exhausted."
"Please, take a break, please." Li Peixiang felt like he'd been granted a pardon and went to the computer to change the songs he'd selected. (Author's note:)
