Chapter 22

Before Tao Luanxi could react, Qiu Yi had already withdrawn his hand, took his bag from Tao Luanxi, and put his arm around Tao Luanxi's shoulders with ease, as naturally as if the action just now was just an accidental fall.

Qiu Yi's body still had a slight heat and a faint smell of sweat from the exercise, which was not unpleasant. Tao Luanxi did not like to be too close to others, but at this moment she did not have the urge to push him away. Perhaps it was because Qiu Yi was too dazzling on the stage just now, or because the two of them had just hugged each other and their hearts beat too fast, Tao Luanxi did not want to care about other people's eyes for the first time.

Let them think whatever they want, as long as I am happy!

Many people from the Youth League branch and the basketball team knew about the last H-posting incident. Their expressions were more interesting than each other. Tao Luanxi could almost imagine what they were thinking. There was a person with a gloomy face at the back of the crowd. It was Zhang Zhi.

The red basketball uniform he was wearing was the same as the other basketball players'. Tao Luanxi suddenly realized that this guy had just participated in the game. Zhang Zhi noticed Tao Luanxi's gaze, snorted coldly, and turned away.

Ever since the two of them parted unhappily on the stairs last time, they haven't spoken again. Tao Luanxi and he are not in the same circle, and he has had little contact with Qiu Yi recently. If they hadn't met today, Tao Luanxi would have almost forgotten the existence of this person.

Qiu Yi patted Tao Luanxi on the shoulder and whispered, "Some people don't need to be taken seriously."

Tao Luanxi nodded and said "OK" in a low voice.

Someone had booked a place in advance, and a group of people walked into a Sichuan restaurant near the school. The owner reserved the largest private room, and once everyone arrived, the food started to be served soon.

Everyone present loves spicy food. Pots of boiled pork slices, Maoxuewang and other dishes were served. It was a sea of ​​red at first glance. The boys also brought up a case of beer. I guess the meal wouldn't be over without getting drunk or two.

Qiu Yi sat on Tao Luanxi's left, and on the right were a few girls from the Youth League branch. Today was the weekend, so they didn't have to wear school uniforms. Tao Luanxi looked quiet and elegant in a refreshing denim blue, which was totally out of place with the atmosphere here.

Qiu Yi glanced at Tao Luanxi who was pouring water for the girls, then whispered to the waiter and ordered a few lighter dishes.

All the dishes were served, and the boys gathered together to start a drinking contest. Tao Luanxi picked up his chopsticks and reached for the Maoxuewang that he had been craving for a long time. His father was from Chongqing, and he often went back there during the summer vacation when he was a child. He had already trained himself to eat spicy food. Occasionally, when the father and son were craving for food, they would secretly order some spicy dishes for their home without telling their mother, who is a senior nutritionist, to satisfy their craving.

However, because his eyes turned red and his mouth swollen when he ate spicy food looked so ugly, Tao Luanxi never mentioned his ability to eat spicy food in front of his classmates.

Qiu Yi stared at Tao Luanxi with wide eyes as she stuffed slices of meat wrapped in chili peppers into her mouth one by one, and said in surprise, "I didn't realize you can eat spicy food so well."

Tao Luanxi chewed and swallowed the meat in her mouth, blinking her eyes: "It's okay, not too spicy."

The girls over there were already guzzling cold water because of the spiciness. They wiped their tears with red eyes and breathed in surprise as they looked at Tao Luanxi, who looked calm. "Oh my god, Tao Luanxi, don't you feel it's spicy?"

Tao Luanxi bit her chopsticks gently and smiled faintly at the girls: "Not bad."

There was still red oil on his lips, and his mouth had already turned a seductive red because of the chili. Because of his slight smile, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his whole face exuded a natural seductive taste.

The girl sighed and said, "I shouldn't have asked. It turns out that good-looking people always look good."

Tao Luanxi smiled but said nothing. From a perspective that he couldn't see, Qiu Yi was holding a beer can in one hand. His Adam's apple was rolling up and down, and he was looking at Tao Luanxi from the side with his eyes gradually deepening.

"Eat your meal well, or else it will be snatched away by those hungry wolves."

Qiu Yi came over and put a piece of shredded apple into Tao Luanxi's bowl. When Tao Luanxi looked up at him, Qiu Yi said in a normal tone, "Have something sweet."

Tao Luanxi stuffed the apple into her mouth, and the sweet candy shreds and the fragrance of the apple instantly spread in her mouth. Tao Luanxi turned her head to look at Qiu Yi who was tasting wine with others, and frowned slightly. Why did she feel that this guy was unhappy?

After a while, spicy lobsters were served. Tao Luanxi bit her chopsticks and watched eagerly as a group of people put on plastic gloves and rubbed their hands to eat. Qiu Yi noticed Tao Luanxi's eyes and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you eat?"

Tao Luanxi also thought that if he was at home, he could finish a whole pot by himself, but now he was outside. Tao Luanxi looked at the people around him with soup all over their hands and red faces if they were not careful, and sighed in his heart: "Forget it, I won't eat it."

Qiu Yi said nothing, took out a pair of gloves from the box and started to unpack the shrimps.

Someone who knows Qiu Yi curiously asked, "Don't you not eat shrimp?"

Qiu Yi answered nonchalantly: "I don't eat it, I'm just opening it for fun."

“…”

Tao Luanxi heard every word of these words. She was chewing stir-fried bean sprouts with a depressed mood. After hearing these words, the bean sprouts in her mouth instantly lost their taste.

After a while, a white porcelain plate filled with shrimps was placed in front of Tao Luanxi. When Tao Luanxi raised his head, half of the people at the table were staring at him.

“…”

"Eat it yourself!" Tao Luanxi felt a little embarrassed when being looked at.

"I don't eat shrimps." Qiu Yi was taking off his gloves.

Why are you peeling him if you don't want to eat him?!

Qiu Yi seemed to understand what Tao Luanxi meant. He shrugged and smiled at Tao Luanxi: "It's fun! Just eat it. Just think of it as me helping me!"

This excuse was so lame that Tao Luanxi said nothing. The boy on Qiu Yi's side immediately came over with a smile and said, "If it's not Tao Luanxi, give it to me!"

Qiu Yi glared at him and asked, "What does it have to do with you?"

Tao Luanxi heard a low sigh: "This is too good!"

Okay?

Tao Luanxi didn't know that this kind of thing could make others envious, so she pretended not to care about other people's opinions and lowered her head to eat all the shrimps in the bowl. Qiu Yi peeled the shrimps and carefully dipped them in the soup, which tasted just right when he chewed them in his mouth.

"Still eating?"

"No, I'm full."

Qiu Yi nodded, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After dinner, the group went to the KTV again. Tao Luanxi didn't sing, but she didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so she followed them. There were many people, and there were only two microphones in the private room. The rest of the people gathered in a circle, found some cards and started playing the King game.

Everyone present was having a great time, except for the Tong Su couple, there were a few others who were ambiguous. Everyone was trying to find benefits for themselves, and the people who were caught were doing all kinds of intimate actions amid the booing. Tao Luanxi saw it all, and it really refreshed his worldview.

"Well, who's left? Let me think."

The "King" looked at them one by one. Tao Luanxi held his cards tightly. Now he, Qiu Yi and two girls were the only ones who had not been drawn.

"The 6 of Hearts and the Jack of Hearts, kiss through the plastic wrap first."

Tao Luanxi took a look at his cards and luckily it wasn't his.

"Who is it that stands up himself?"

Qiu Yi threw the cards on the table with a sullen face. Amid screams from all around, another girl blushed and revealed her own cards.

"A kiss, a kiss, a kiss!"

Qiu Yi was sitting next to Tao Luanxi. He stood up suddenly, which startled Tao Luanxi.

"I accept the punishment." Qiu Yi got a bottle of beer and drank it in a few gulps without waiting for the king to say anything. The sound of the empty bottle being slammed on the table was not loud, but it was enough to shut everyone up.

The scene was a bit awkward for a moment. Qiu Yi sat back in the eyes of everyone, nonchalantly: "Why are you looking at me? Keep going!"

Tao Luanxi was drinking juice and saw that Qiu Yi's collar was wet and there was some beer foam on Qiu Yi's lips.

Tao Luanxi took out two pieces of paper and stuffed them into Qiu Yi's hand: "Wipe it."

Qiu Yi drank a little too much today, and there was a faint smell of alcohol on his body. He grabbed Tao Luanxi's hand with his backhand and complained in a muffled voice: "Why didn't you get hit?"

The author has something to say: My head is hurting from being stuck on this chapter, so I’ll just update this much for now, and then go out and have some fun to change my mood. I’ll update more later!
