Chapter 164: Chapter 161: Teaching the Youth a Lesson

In the restroom.

Previously domineering, Chu Chengxian was now deathly pale. With his right hand clamped in an awkward ’I love you’ sign, he was vomiting profusely.

Dazhuang, who was accompanying him, couldn’t help but throw up upon seeing this.

For a time, the sounds of retching echoed one after another throughout the restroom, accompanied by a foul stench. After vomiting half their lives away, they staggered back to the private room with jelly-like legs.

The tall, thin young man was already sound asleep, snoring loudly.

The short-haired girl was on the phone in the hallway. Seeing them return, she had intended to approach, but the unspeakable smell and the specks of vomit on their clothes utterly disgusted her. She felt that calling their families was the greatest act of charity she could possibly perform right now.

So much for being the ’Sancai’ of the music department. A little drinking and they had turned into three dead flops.

She thought, "But that young man from earlier was so incredibly handsome! I wonder if he has a girlfriend!"

Earlier, the Sancai had tried to get him drunk under the guise of toasting, hoping to make a fool out of him. But the handsome young man had seen right through their intentions. He boldly picked up his decanter and said, "Young people should have the vigor of youth. Why drink from small cups?

"Come on! Cheers!"

With that, he downed the entire decanter with a few loud GULPS.

The Sancai were dumbfounded. But at the drinking table, one could lose anything except momentum. They forced themselves to match him with a decanter each.

Yet, before they could even set their decanters down, the young man looked at the bewildered trio and said, "It is impolite not to reciprocate.

"Let me toast you three young talents with a cup."

As he spoke, he picked up the Fenjiu and poured himself a full glass. Seeing the bottle empty, he turned to the waiter. "Bring us two more bottles of this same liquor."

Gu Sanming was slightly taken aback, not expecting his young friend to hold his liquor so well.

Liu Yiyi was a bit worried. She knew exactly what a certain someone’s alcohol tolerance used to be, but now she suddenly wasn’t so sure. However, when it came to men’s affairs, she would only offer her support. Besides, she believed he knew his own limits. Moreover, she would be there to take care of him tonight.

Beside them, the Sancai felt a wave of panic upon hearing this, but the arrow was already nocked; they had no choice but to fire.

It was just alcohol! No big deal. Just down it in one gulp. Furthermore, he was probably just putting up a brave front. That had to be it...

Moments later.

The waiter smilingly delivered the liquor. Twenty-year-old Fenjiu wasn’t cheap. If he provided good service, he’d earn another fat commission.

After opening it, Su Yunzhou enthusiastically filled the Sancai’s decanters to the brim. He declared with soaring heroism, "With this pitcher, I wish you three talents the ability to go further and further on your musical paths."

With that said, under the Sancai’s shocked gazes, he downed it all in one breath as if he were just drinking water. He then turned his decanter upside down. Not a single drop spilled.

Next, he shifted his gaze to the three of them. The implication was self-evident.

Uh...

At this moment, his gaze felt like resounding slaps to their faces. It was as if he were saying, "Come on~

"Keep putting up that brave front~"

The Sancai gritted their teeth and forced themselves to drink their second decanter. The tall, thin young man drank more than half of his when suddenly, his eyes widened and his cheeks bulged. Under everyone’s terrified gazes, his throat bobbed, and he forcefully swallowed it back down through sheer physical and mental fortitude.

However, after this ordeal, he could only raise his glass in surrender.

Dazhuang and Chu Chengxian were still struggling to hold on. They wondered why this liquor was so agonizingly hard to drink! After finally pouring it down their throats, they felt a burning fire in their chests.

Su Yunzhou smirked. He thought, "You little brats~

"Today, I’ll show you just how ’fun’ the real world can be."

Looking at the hazy, drunken eyes of the Sancai, Su Yunzhou picked up the Fenjiu and continued, "You all truly have an excellent tolerance for alcohol!

"Next!" He deliberately slowed his speech. "For our third glass, let’s toast Teacher Gu together.

"But let’s be clear—Teacher Gu can drink as he pleases, but we must show our full sincerity."

Hearing this rhythmic toast, the Sancai wanted to refuse. But since he had brought their teacher into it, they could only nod helplessly.

Dazhuang and Chu Chengxian, who only had a tiny bit of fighting power left, exchanged a glance to hype each other up. Looking as if they were risking it all, they picked up their decanters and slurred, "Teacher Gu... thank you for your tireless teaching... We definitely won’t fail our mission at the opening ceremony..."

Gu Sanming looked at his young friend and then at his students, shaking his head helplessly to stop them. "There will be plenty of opportunities to drink, but you only have one body.

"Alright, stop drinking!

"Call your families to come and pick you up!"

In the end, that decanter of liquor remained un-drunk. Dizzy and disoriented, Dazhuang and Chu Chengxian dragged the tall, thin young man—who couldn’t even stand steadily—and staggered to a nearby private room to wait.

In the main hall.

Ye Xiaofei had stayed behind. She answered Brother Yunzhou’s questions. They were having dinner tonight to prepare for a musical performance at the upcoming opening ceremony of the Rongcheng International Rock Climbing Competition.

So that was it.

Su Yunzhou smiled without a word. He thought to himself, "Looks like I’ll have to teach these youngsters another lesson."

As their teacher, Gu Sanming naturally worried about his students’ condition and frequently glanced toward their private room.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaofei said, "I just spoke with Ningning. She’s already contacting their families. Don’t worry, Teacher Gu!"

With that settled, the group continued chatting.

Not long after, the Sancai’s parents arrived one after another, hauling their drunken children back home.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Yiyi called the waiter over to return one unopened bottle of Fenjiu, then went to pay the bill.

[The mature woman has spent 3,960 yuan on you. With 98 points of Affinity, you receive a cashback of 388,080 yuan.]

Su Yunzhou was overjoyed. He had enjoyed a hearty meal and earned over 300,000 yuan to boot. Naturally, he was ecstatic.

By the time they walked out of Songyun Marsh, it was already 10:00 PM. Ye Xiaofei sensibly offered to escort Teacher Gu home, which naturally reassured Su Yunzhou. Gu Sanming, who knew his limits and was still perfectly sober, smiled and waved goodbye to his young friends.

After watching the two drive off, Su Yunzhou held Liu Yiyi’s soft, delicate little hand and walked toward the Boshe Hotel.

At this moment, there were only a few hurried pedestrians left on the prosperous streets. The shops on both sides had already closed for the night. Only the dim, yellow halos of the streetlamps illuminated the road. Occasionally, a gentle evening breeze brushed against their faces, making them feel exceptionally refreshed.

They walked shoulder to shoulder. Their shadows merged together, forming a lovely silhouette.

Liu Yiyi suddenly asked, "When did your alcohol tolerance get so good?"

Su Yunzhou’s lips curled up. "It must have been from the night of our first dinner together!"

"Hmm?!"

Liu Yiyi couldn’t help but recall that day. A certain lightweight had gotten dead drunk. The three of them went to a hotel, and Yanyan had even barricaded the door. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t help but laugh.

Time really did fly. Fortunately, she had met someone who had brought brilliance to her days and tenderness to her years.

Su Yunzhou looked at the gentle smile on her face and the affection rippling in her eyes. He asked curiously, "What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?"

Two peach-colored blushes tinged Liu Yiyi’s cheeks. Her sparkling eyes fixed intently on him. She said nothing, yet seemed to have said everything. Their silence in this moment spoke louder than a thousand words.

Right at this moment, a timid voice rang out.

"Mister, buy a flower for the pretty lady!"
