Chapter 712 We Are All Anti-Romance
Xiao Peng was distracted there, and only came back to his senses when he heard Pascal calling him: "Ah? You're calling me? What's wrong?"
"What are you thinking about?" Pascal asked puzzledly.
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's my imagination, but I always feel like someone is watching us."
"Are you overthinking this?" Pascal said, "Stop being a victim all the time. Who would stare at us for no reason?"
At this time, Ai Li picked up the wine glass: "Xiao, I know you don't care, but I still want to say sorry to you again! I toast you a glass!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng also picked up his glass: "Who said I don't care? Can't you see that I don't even dare to take off my hat now? My head is covered!"
Kalinda smiled and raised her wine glass: "This hat doesn't suit you! Well, it's not that it doesn't suit you, it's that it doesn't suit your current clothes and season. Otherwise, how about you try wearing my hat?" After saying that, she actually took out a hat from her bag.
It was a gray ski cap that was very common in winter. It wasn't gender-neutral, but it was reeking of perfume. Xiao Peng put down his wine glass, took the cap, removed his stylish Panama hat, and put it on. He was surprised and said, "Your head is so big? And it actually fits me?"
Kalinda blushed. "It's because your head is small! Your Asian skeletons are smaller than ours! You don't know how much we envy you Asian women's skeletons!"
Ellie, who was standing beside him, looked at Xiao Peng and said, "Can we drink now? What's wrong with you? You can't control yourself when you see the gift?"
Seeing that she was still holding the wine glass, Xiao Peng came back to his senses and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'll drink it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ai Li pick up the glass of beer and gulp it down. It was a large beer glass with a capacity of one jin. Although Xiao Peng and his friends drank like this, Xiao Peng was dumbfounded by Ai Li's drinking.
He smiled bitterly, shook his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
Ellie was stunned: "Can't you drink? Why are you shaking your head?"
At this time, a voice came from the side: "In Xiao Peng's theory, girls who can hold up a glass of wine at the table are all big drinkers. He is already prepared to be drunk!"
Pascal didn't even turn his head: "Oh, so soon?"
It was Fabian who spoke, of course.
After hearing what Pascal said, Fabian became anxious. Isn't it that men fear most that others say they are "not good enough"?
Fabian sat down and said anxiously, "You're the fastest! Your whole family is the fastest!"
Xiao Peng blinked: "You said Xiao Pa's whole family is fast? Doesn't that mean you are fast too? You two are a family!"
Fabian's expression was dull after hearing this. Why was he being scolded?
"Beauty, get me six beers!" Fabian said to the bar.
Soon, the waiter brought six glasses of beer. Fabian put the money on the tray and picked up two glasses and handed them to Xiao Peng and Pascal.
Xiao Peng, however, looked disgusted: "Hey, have you washed your hands?"
Pascal shook his head: "He definitely didn't wash his hands!"
"Nonsense!" Fabian said angrily, "Can I not wash my hands?"
Xiao Peng sneered twice: "I believe you rather than Areola! Xiao Pa, give me a glass. I won't drink anything he's touched."
Pascal handed Xiao Peng a glass of wine and didn't forget to high-five Xiao Peng!
'I'd rather believe Areola' is a French joke, referring to Alphonse Areola, the French national team's reserve goalkeeper who is not yet 30 years old.
Areola's starting point was quite high. He was born in the youth training system of Paris Saint-Germain, joined the first team in 2012, represented France in winning the U20 World Cup in 2013, and became the main goalkeeper of Paris Saint-Germain in winning the Ligue 1, French League Cup and French Cup in 2017. Then... he was sold to Real Madrid as a substitute. He conceded 11 goals in nine games, but won the championship with Real Madrid.
Despite his championship luck, he was disliked everywhere he went, primarily because of his inconsistent performances and lack of trust. Thus, the "I'd rather trust Areola" meme was born.
Fabian said, "Hey, I'm not angry. I've already entered 'sage mode'. It's just right that you guys don't drink. I'll have a couple more drinks!"
"Have you drunk too much? Who's driving?" Xiao Peng said after hearing this.
Fabian said, "Why don't we just call Walter and the others to pick us up later? We must have a couple of drinks today. Xiao scared me. He broke such a thick steel pipe with one punch! That's amazing!"
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "It's hollow, not very solid!"
Pascal said, "I've seen Xiao Peng force a group of people to listen to him play the suona, so I was mentally prepared and not too surprised."
Alice Stone asked in confusion: "Pascal, you mentioned playing the suona twice, what's going on? Could it be that... he asked a group of people to give him..."
She clenched her fists in front of her and made an indecent gesture.
"Poof!" Xiao Peng spurted out the beer he had just taken. He immediately turned his head to avoid Ellie Stone, but the beer ended up spraying towards Billy!
Billy's reaction was not slow. He picked up the "Panama hat" on the table and blocked his face with it to avoid the disaster.
Pascal burst into laughter at this scene. "Ellie, what are you thinking about? We're talking about the suona. Xiao and I live in La Ciotat, a small port town in Marseille. One day, when my friend and I returned home, we found the entire neighborhood gathered in front of our house to listen to Xiao Peng playing the suona. The sound was so creepy, I'm not exaggerating. For days afterward, the sound of the suona was all I could think about. I couldn't stand it. Do you know why those people listened to Xiao playing the suona?"
"Why?" Ellie and Kalinda asked in unison.
Pascal pointed at Xiao Peng and said, "Originally, they were going to cause trouble for Xiao, but he overturned an SUV and scared everyone, so they just listened to him play the suona!"
After that, he gave a brief account of what happened that day, adding some exaggeration: "To sum up, Xiao himself is an irrational existence! Do you think he looks like a strong man?"
After hearing this, Ellie Stone said with envy, "Xiao, if I had money, I would definitely hire you as my bodyguard! It would make me feel so safe! Where's your girlfriend?"
After hearing this, Kalinda also had a gossipy look on her face.
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "The three of us are all anti-romanticists. At least in the short term, we have no intention of falling in love. After all, we are still young and need to focus our energy on other things."
Fabian nodded and said, "Xiao came to England this time to seek refuge. He was pursued by three women, and then he became a deserter of love."
"Him? Three women are chasing him? Then why don't you choose one? Are you afraid that love will delay your relationship..." Kalinda pointed above her head.
Xiao Peng pointed at Fabian and said, "Xiao Pa and I don't do this! He's the only one who has this hobby... slut! What are you guys doing?"
