"Then you continue chatting with them. I'll go with them first." Wen Ning said softly.
"Okay, drink less." Lu Shiyan gently reminded her, his eyes full of concern.
When Wen Ning heard him say that he would pick her up later, a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart. She nodded happily in agreement and turned to leave.
Lu Shiyan watched her leave with a slight smile on his face. Then he turned around and continued chatting with the people around him. His tone was relaxed and cheerful, as if nothing had happened. The people around him resumed their conversation.
"Brother, I'm staying with Wen Ning tonight, so you don't have to pick me up." Li Yang took Wen Ning's hand, stood in front of her brother, and said to him.
Wen Ning had just finished talking to Lu Shiyan when Li Yang pulled her to stand in front of her brother to explain. She originally thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this.
She looked at her in confusion, only to see Li Yang winking at her. She immediately knew what she was planning, and her mind quickly turned. She turned around and said to Li Chuan in front of her with a smile, "Brother Li Chuan, today is my birthday. Why don't you let Yang Yang live with me? I promise that she won't lose a single hair."
Li Chuan looked at her, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, then turned back to his sister. He knew exactly what this little girl was planning. She just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go out and have fun all night! But he couldn't let her succeed.
"No, it's too unsafe for you two little girls to be out all night." Li Chuan shook his head and refused without hesitation. He felt that it was unsafe for two little girls to be out in the middle of the night.
"Oh, brother, don't worry! Master Lu will definitely come to pick Ningning up personally. Let him take us back to the Wen family personally. With him around, how can you not feel at ease? Master Lu will never let Ningning go back alone. Brother, just let me play." She blinked her big eyes, held her brother's hand, and begged.
"Yes, yes, brother Lichuan, Lu Shiyan will come to pick us up soon, don't worry, I will make sure Yangyang stays with me safely." Wen Ning also assured that they would live together every year on their birthdays and have fun from night to morning.
Li Chuan thought that if Lu Shiyan went to pick them up, he would still feel relieved. After their repeated requests, he finally gave in and told them not to make trouble too late.
After getting the promise, Li Yang happily took Wen Ning away.
"Hmph, it's really not easy to convince my brother. I don't know what he's worried about. He keeps a close eye on me all day long." Li Yang complained in a low voice.
"Brother Li Chuan is worried about you." Wen Ning explained to him.
Li Yang curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm already so old, what is there to worry about? He just controls too much!"
Wen Ning smiled and said, "Brother Li Chuan cares about you, after all, you are his sister."
Li Yang sighed and said, "Oh, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go find them quickly. We finally got a chance to sing, and if we're late, won't they torture us to death?"
The two of them were holding hands. When they found them, several people were already standing in front of the car waiting for them. After seeing them come out, they waved their hands and went to the KTV.
There was a bustle of activity in the box. As soon as they arrived, they were already having fun. One person finished singing, then another took the stage. Those who had not yet had a turn started drinking on the side.
Wen Ning was the birthday boy today, and they took turns beating him. After a while, he started to get a little carried away and quickly stopped, firmly refusing to give in. "If you want to be cunning, you've got to catch me."
"The birthday girl has the most power, so naturally she has to drink a few more glasses." In fact, they were just taking revenge. When they had birthdays before, she had called it a celebration and took advantage of them. Now it was finally her turn, and they took the opportunity to get revenge.
"No, I'll take a break, you guys continue." Wen Ning really shot herself in the foot. If she had known this day would come, she would not have been so cruel.
Seeing that she had indeed drunk quite a bit, the others let her go. However, Li Yang, who was standing nearby, volunteered, "Tsk, look at how shameless you are. Let me do it."
"Come on, Li Yang, come here. If you can't knock down the birthday girl, then knock down her best friend." Zhang Lei urged. Li Yang was her best friend, so it would be the same if she was knocked down. It was because she was so arrogant. Wen Ning tried to pull her back, but unfortunately, the people above her didn't care.
"I'll do it, Zhang Lei. Don't cry and beg me to let you go later." Li Yang looked at Zhang Lei with disdain, as if she had already won.
"You're so arrogant! Come on!" Zhang Lei said provocatively. He wasn't easily intimidated by Li Yang. The two men exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with fighting spirit and a refusal to admit defeat.
Thus began a fierce drinking contest. With each winning and losing, Li Yang and Zhang Lei traded drinks, one after another, while the crowd cheered them on. As time went on, Li Yang's wins outnumbered her losses, but she still drank a lot, and a blush gradually spread across her face. But she remained steadfast in her gambling with Zhang Lei.
"Come again!" Li Yang shouted, and raised another glass of wine and drank it all.
"Okay!" Zhang Lei was not willing to be outdone and started the next round.
"Stop playing, you'll get drunk if you continue..." Wen Ning whispered to Li Yang, but his voice was drowned out by the noisy environment.
"Don't worry, I'm fine..." Li Yang patted Wen Ning's hand, indicating that he could still hold on.
"Wen Ning, don't encourage her. We haven't decided who's better yet." Zhang Lei saw her trying to persuade others and quickly stopped her.
"Don't worry, I can beat you three hundred times." Li Yang said confidently, and the two of them competed again.
Wen Ning didn't bother to pay attention to the two people who were fighting each other. He rubbed his head to relieve the dizziness.
"Drink some water, and you won't feel so dizzy." Wei Mingyu handed her a glass of water and sat next to her.
Wen Ning heard the voice, opened his eyes, glanced at him, then picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. "You are still so considerate."
Wei Mingyu smiled but said nothing.
"Why don't you play with them? Singing is fine, too." Wen Ning saw him sitting alone quietly, as if he didn't fit in.
"It's too noisy. I want some quiet time."
Wen Ning chuckled and explained, "You might have been abroad for too long and haven't adapted to the environment yet. If you find it too noisy, you can go back. They won't go back unless they've been making a fuss for a while. They've always been like this."
Wei Mingyu looked towards the bustling area, then looked away and said softly, "No, it's just that I want to be with you more than playing with them."
