Chapter 130 Dinner Party
Chapter 130 Dinner Party
"Ding-dong," "Ding-dong," Jiang Lai's WeChat kept receiving messages.
Zhou Yunyun, who was drying her hair, called out to Jiang Lai, who was still taking a shower in the bathroom, "Junior, my WeChat keeps ringing!"
Jiang Lai walked out with disheveled hair, saying, "I'm here, I'm here."
I picked up my phone and saw it was a message from Qu Su, 30+.
"Hey, hey, hey? When are we going to eat crayfish?" "Want to come together? I'll come find you." "Why aren't you saying anything?" "Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?" "You're not going to stand me up, are you?"
Jiang Lai opened the chat window: "Get ready, I'll be right there."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lai asked Zhou Yunyun, "Senior, shall we go out for crayfish tonight?"
Zhou Yunyun exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Let's invite Lin Yi and Chen Shuo too! Did you already have plans with someone else? Is it okay to invite others?"
Jiang Lai: "I already told Qu Su. I'll just talk to him. It'll be fine."
"My seniors are coming too, it'll be more lively with lots of people. Do you have anyone else there?" Another message came in.
On the other side, Qu Su held his phone and clenched his teeth when he saw the message. How could there be someone else here?!
But there was nothing he could do but reply, "Sure, I have my teammates here."
Jiang Lai replied instantly: "OK!"
"Qu Su has his teammates with him, probably three or four people!" Jiang Lai changed into simple clothes. "I'll ask where they're going."
She went out of the room to find Qu Su.
Qu Su was still in his room discussing what to wear with Zhang Yan when Jiang Lai came to find him directly.
"I'm here to ask where we're going later? How many people are with you?"
Qu Su: "I only have two people, you have four, right? We can just take two cars."
"Okay, send me the address in a bit."
"no problem!"
-
Qu Su chose a city campsite to eat crayfish, a 45-minute drive from the hotel.
When Jiang Lai and her group arrived, the campsite was already quite crowded, and the food stalls were almost all full.
Qu Su said, "I reserved a table in advance."
The group followed him and, sure enough, saw the seats that the business had reserved in advance.
Chen Shuo: "This is the first time I've ever had a meal with Huazhong University of Science and Technology students."
Zhang Yan: "Then we should get together more often. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory!"
The six people sat there, looking around. The setting sun in the distance was almost completely invisible, leaving only a lingering glow.
Zhou Yunyun exclaimed, "I always thought that everything in the capital was very fast and the level of urbanization was too high. I never thought there was a place like this."
This place is almost like a paradise in the city, with lush trees and a specially built boardwalk and octagonal pavilion.
“Does your senior like this style? We went to a resort for our class reunion before, and it was quite nice. You can check it out sometime,” Jiang Lai said.
"sure!"
As the only two girls in the group, Zhou Yunyun and Jiang Lai sat together. Qu Su took a long stride and sat to Jiang Lai's right, while Zhang Yan sat on the other side.
The tables around us were laden with crayfish, barbecue, grilled meat, and beer.
Qu Su asked, "Shall we order crayfish and barbecue? And then beer?"
Lin Yi: "I have no problem with that, but since there are girls here, could you please bring some drinks too?"
"Okay." "Alright!" No one had any objections.
Not far away, someone was playing guitar and singing, with the volume turned up to the maximum. People around were chanting, "One more song!"
Perhaps because there were too many people, the food was served rather slowly, and all that was in front of the group was beer and a fruit platter given by the vendor.
Zhou Yunyun looked around boredly, then suddenly seemed to see something, turned around and said, "Waiting is a bit slow, why don't we play a game!"
Jiang Lai responded enthusiastically: "Okay, what game?"
"How about Truth or Dare? Are you in?" Zhou Yunyun spread her hands: "With this space, there's no way to play anything else! We'll just play a random piece of music, and we'll take turns holding our phones. Whoever's phone stops playing gets to choose. How about that?"
Jiang Lai: "I have no objection. What about the others?"
Neither of the two girls had any objections, so naturally the other boys wouldn't either.
Chen Shuo: "I hope everyone will go easy on me!"
Zhang Yan whispered to Qu Su, "If you're being honest, then go for it!"
Qu Su understood what he meant and sat up straight. "Don't worry!"
Zhou Yunyun took out her phone, "Use mine!"
She played a piece of music and sent it to Jiang Lai, who quickly passed it to Qu Su, who then passed it to Zhang Yan, Chen Shuo, Lin Yi, and finally back to Zhou Yunyun.
The first person to be infected was Zhang Yan.
Qu Su looked at him with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Zhang Yan: Do you think I wanted this phone?!
Zhou Yunyun clapped her hands and laughed, then asked, "Truth or Dare?"
Zhang Yan thought for a moment, "Tell me the truth!"
Since they weren't from her own school, Zhou Yunyun didn't make things too difficult. After discussing it with the others, she asked, "Who do you think is the strongest in this competition?"
“Tao Qi is young, but he has a bright future,” Zhang Yan replied quickly.
"Okay, that makes sense."
The second person to be infected was Chen Shuo.
"I'll answer first! I choose truth! I think I'm the strongest!! Because I'm the king of verbal sparring!"
Zhou Yunyun: "No answer! Please tell me the most embarrassing thing you did during your four years of university!"
Chen Shuo: "Junior, I'm your senior, do you have to be so ruthless!"
"Hahaha, isn't it normal for a junior to trick a senior?"
Chen Shuo touched his forehead helplessly and said in a low voice, "Once, I fell asleep during a meeting in the auditorium, and my roommate pranked me by making me go on stage while the teacher was still speaking."
Zhou Yunyun gasped, "That's so cool!!"
"Isn't that right?!"
The game continues.
This time, the phone was in Zhou Yunyun's hands.
Chen Shuo: "What goes around comes around! No one escapes the wrath of Heaven!!! Junior, tell me, truth or dare?"
"Seriously!"
What was the most shameful thing that happened during your four years of college?
"Hmph, it's nothing. I just chatted with a 'girl' for almost half a month, sharing all sorts of private things, only to find out she was a guy."
"Wow!" Jiang Lai exclaimed.
"Back in freshman year, I thought it was a girl from my class, but it turned out to be a boy!!!" Zhou Yunyun clearly didn't want to say more, "Next game, next game!"
The crayfish and barbecue were served one after another.
Jiang Lai took a sip of juice and then handed her phone to Qu Su. Luckily, she was quick, otherwise it would have stopped in her hand.
Zhang Yan asked, "Truth or Dare?"
"Truthfully."
Zhang Yan asked meaningfully, "What is your current relationship status?"
"I'm single, but I have a girl I like." He said this while glancing to the side.
Even if Zhou Yunyun and the others were a bit dim-witted, they would know what he meant. Unfortunately, Jiang Lai was peeling shrimp with her head down and didn't notice at all until Zhou Yunyun nudged her, "So who is this girl?"
Jiang Lai: "...That's the next question."
Lin Yi laughed it off: "Come on, come on, eat quickly, let's eat and play at the same time, let's eat first and talk later."
The group put on gloves and began to eat and chat.
"You know what, it tastes pretty good, no wonder there are so many people here." Chen Shuo slurped.
Zhang Yan said proudly, "Of course! We did a lot of research before choosing this place."
"The boxed lunches provided by the production team actually taste pretty good, it's just that sometimes we can't eat them."
"The production team must not know this."
"Hey, I wonder what the competition will be like tomorrow. It seems like the topics chosen by the production team today were relatively easy?"
"I think it's really difficult!"
Everyone started talking.
Qu Su placed the peeled shrimp in front of Jiang Lai, "Want some?"
Jiang Lai: "Don't worry about me, you eat it yourself!"
Qu Su: "I don't like eating shrimp, I just like peeling them."
"Hey, Su Su, you don't like eating but you like peeling? Then peel one for me too!" Zhang Yan said.
Qu Su: "Get out!"
Suddenly, the people around cheered.
Zhou Yunyun and the others looked up and saw a man wearing a black vest and a mask standing on the stage.
His clothes were simple and his movements were casual, but he had a certain charisma in every gesture. He was tall with long legs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he was obviously a handsome man.
Many girls started screaming.
Then, the music started playing—a fast-paced, energetic tune.
"It's Lin Yinchuan's song!" someone nearby recognized it.
Many people started cheering and singing along, making the atmosphere even more lively.
The man on stage held the microphone casually, but sang very seriously. It was an upbeat song with rap, but the man's pronunciation was very clear. He made various dance moves to the music with great force, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the entire audience. It was just a campsite, but he made it feel like a concert.
Many people stopped eating and focused on watching him sing, even singing along.
The man's singing skills are not only excellent, but his dance moves are also perfect, as if he has practiced them a thousand times, with each step perfectly timed and in perfect sync.
As the last syllable faded, the people around applauded enthusiastically, and some even shouted for an encore.
"You sang really well! If it weren't for the voice not sounding like him, I would have thought it was Lin Yinchuan himself singing up there." Zhou Yunyun clapped along, even giving up her crayfish.
As Jiang Lai brushed the barbecue with powder, she nodded, "It's pretty good."
Zhou Yunyun grabbed Jiang Lai's arm, "Junior!"
"Ok?"
"I remember the junior girl can sing too! Don't tell me you can't! You can still find videos of yourself during military training on the official Weibo account!"
"So??" A bad feeling rose in Jiang Lai's heart.
"Let's go up and sing together!" Zhou Yunyun was probably a little tipsy; her cheeks were flushed, and she was slurring her words. "Let's sing together!"
"Senior, are you drunk?" Jiang Lai asked.
Lin Yi also chimed in, "Junior Zhou, drink less and eat more meat."
Zhou Yunyun waved her hand and said, "Let's all go up and sing! Sing the school song! Let everyone see the style of students from Beijing University."
I've confirmed it, he's really drunk.
Jiang Lai asked helplessly, "Senior, did you drink a lot?"
Chen Shuo: "Sing! Let's all sing together!"
Okay, there's one more dazed one!
Several beer bottles were on the ground next to the two people.
"How come I didn't notice they drank so much?? Their alcohol tolerance is terrible!" Lin Yi had a headache.
Zhou Yunyun stood up and pulled Jiang Lai along, "Junior, let's go!"
She was drunk, but surprisingly strong. She pulled Jiang Lai along, with Chen Shuo following behind, followed by Lin Yi, who was worried about her, as well as Qu Su and Zhang Yan.
Anyone can go on this stage. The man who was singing on stage just now has already left, and the stage is empty now.
Zhou Yunyun handed the microphone to Jiang Lai, "Sing!"
"The phoenix cries out—"
Lin Yi immediately stepped forward and pulled her away, saying, "I'm sorry, she's had too much to drink!"
Chen Shuo: "Then I'll do it!!!"
"What the hell are you doing?!" Lin Yi yelled at Zhang Yan beside him, "Brother, drag him away!"
Jiang Lai wanted to leave the stage, but Qu Su stopped her, saying, "Let's sing a song together!"
His eyes held expectation, yet were so full of pure enthusiasm that Jiang Lai hesitated for a moment before replying, "Okay."
"Yay!" Qu Su jumped up and down, then asked, "What are we singing?"
Jiang Lai couldn't think of anything for a moment, but then she remembered the song Lin Yinchuan had sung earlier, so she asked, "Can you sing Lin Yinchuan's '100% Sweetness'?"
"Yes!" Qu Su grinned. It was a love song for two.
She! Has! Me! in her heart!
Basically, we're together!
The two stood on the stage, the lights were not very bright, but you could still tell that they were a good match and their appearances complemented each other.
A light and cheerful prelude begins.
Jiang Lai held the microphone and began to sing.
Many people stared at her because she was so beautiful, but as soon as she opened her mouth, everyone was amazed by her voice.
Qu Su stood beside her, staring intently at her profile, so engrossed in his own part that he didn't even notice.
As Jiang Lai sang, she tugged at his sleeve and gestured to him with her eyes.
Qu Su then came to his senses and began to sing his part.
Some people in the audience noticed this and burst into good-natured laughter.
"Hey Lin, this young couple singing your song is really sweet!" a guy joked. "Love songs really do have to be sung by couples, yours just doesn't have the same feel! Look at the atmosphere they're in! Tsk tsk tsk!"
Another boy laughed and said, "That's right! But this girl sings really well, she has a great voice, she might become famous if she pursues a singing career."
In a corner of the audience, the man who had been singing earlier was also staring at the girl singing on stage. After a while, he turned his head away and said, "She's just barely passable."
"Fine, who can compare to you? You're just blessed with natural talent!"
The crowd teased him again, and Lin Yinchuan stood up, saying, "Nonsense, I'm going to the restroom."
"Okay, come back soon!"
On stage, Jiang Lai and Qu Su finished their performance and quickly left the stage to make room for another person who wanted to sing.
When the two returned, Zhou Yunyun had become much more sober.
"Junior girls, you're back!"
"Is Senior Sister awake?" Jiang Lai asked.
"Oh right, junior, come with me to the restroom!" Zhou Yunyun said shyly.
"Row."
