Chapter 279: Chapter 244: You’re Singing and Dancing Here Again

Zhong Qing glanced at the time, only three minutes left until the end of class.

She always had a plan for her lectures and never liked to go over time unless absolutely necessary.

Estimating that three minutes wouldn’t be enough to finish a problem, she simply stopped.

"For today’s classwork, turn to page 186 of the big review book......"

"Long live Qingbao!" Jiang Nian had a cheerful expression.

It was time to eat... oh, I forgot. We’re heading straight to Chuyun Hotel for the wedding banquet in town at noon, so no need to fight with those gloomy freshmen for food.

Of course, he was one of those gloomy creatures too.

"What’s with Qingbao? Why are you shouting for nothing?" Li Hua felt a bit jealous and turned to point at him, "Bro, you’re crossing the line."

Jiang Nian glanced at Li Hua, a disdainful smile creeping at the corner of his mouth, gradually transforming into the Dragon King.

"What’s wrong with me calling Qingbao, and you’re singing and dancing here."

"Chi Shi!"

The sound of the bell signaling the end of class rang.

Qingbao said it was the end of class and left with her books.

The class flowed out like a stream, Yang Qiming and Huang Caicai almost sprinting out the door. Wu Jungu leaned back against his seat waiting for Zeng You, as he had a small portion of his novel yet to finish.

Chen Yunyun dawdled for five or six minutes, waiting until the class was almost empty before leaving with Wang Yuhe.

In the hallway, Jiang Nian was playing with his phone.

Upon turning his head and seeing the two girls coming out, he casually tucked his phone into his pocket.

"Shall we go?"

"Um." Chen Yunyun nodded.

She was a little nervous but couldn’t show it, as it would pressure Jiang Nian. After all, she was attending as a proxy for her parents, and Jiang Nian was specifically invited by her.

Although the hosts invited not just ordinary friends but business associates with certain connections, with generous red envelopes, bringing someone along wasn’t an issue.

Besides, there was also Wang Yuhe, whose family also contributed.

Equivalent to going two for one.

There was nothing to pick on when sharing responsibility; in fact, no one would ask. But somehow there was some nervousness, partly because it was the first time with... Overall, it felt a bit odd.

She was already slightly regretting her impulsiveness — was it too grounded?

Luckily, Wang Yuhe seemed quite happy.

"Jiang Nian, guess how many bowls of rice I’ll eat later?"

Jiang Nian glanced at Wang Yuhe, pretending to ponder deeply.

"I’m not sure."

"Guess first." Wang Yuhe pressed.

"Ten bowls maybe, seeing as you’re a huge rice bucket." Jiang Nian casually replied, "Stand right up and hug the rice cooker, no one can match you."

"You’re the rice bucket!" Wang Yuhe shot back as they walked towards the school gate, standing 1.67 meters tall and measuring up to 1.5 meters in pettiness, "The answer is zero bowls because I don’t eat rice."

"Don’t you know, grown-ups at banquets don’t eat rice."

"Really?" Jiang Nian glanced at her and casually asked, "Then what do they eat instead?"

"Drink booze and eat dishes."

"Can you drink?"

Wang Yuhe wanted to say yes but feared Jiang Nian, this sneaky character, would report her to the class teacher.

"I’ll drink soft drinks and eat."

Jiang Nian remarked, "The banquet’s full of liquor, and the drinks are all beer."

"Liar."

Watching the two banter, Chen Yunyun felt her nervousness ease a little.

"There will be drinks, usually canned cola."

Hearing this, Wang Yuhe curiously asked, "Why canned? The hotels in our town all have large bottles of cola, and Sprite too."

"Because they’re easier to distribute, plus a case of canned cola isn’t much pricier." As Jiang Nian exited the school gate, he squinted against the sunlight on the street.

It was currently twelve fifteen, and the hotel in the county would start serving at about twelve thirty.

A ten-minute walk meant they’d arrive right on time.

"Some places serve tea too, the kind bottled in glass." Chen Yunyun explained patiently, "But in Zhen Nan, it’s all about large bowls of tea, so only soft drinks are available."

"Generally, they provide towels, but that worn-down hotel in Chuyun doesn’t." Jiang Nian said, "If you need one, you can ask for it at the front desk."

Wang Yuhe blinked and suddenly realized something.

Jiang Nian was a local of the county town.

Suddenly embarrassed by her oversight, she blushed, "Have you been to that hotel?"

"Of course, it’s only a kilometer from my house." Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow, "Most weddings nearby have their banquets there, or over in Zhenbei."

Wang Yuhe was crestfallen, pouting her lips.

"Oh."

Listening to Jiang Nian, more than half of Chen Yunyun’s anxiety dissipated.

No wonder he agreed so readily.

In the town, bringing someone to a wedding banquet is normal, depending on your family’s relationship with the hosts. If they’re more distant relatives or important friends, usually more red envelopes are given.

She wasn’t sure about the situation in the county, but it now seemed no different.

Just as Jiang Nian and the two girls reached their destination, the fireworks were being readied at the door.

Wang Yuhe turned pale and quickly pulled Chen Yunyun inside.

"Let’s go, they’re setting off fireworks."

Currently, things like city management were still a rarity in Zhen Nan. So setting off fireworks on the street wasn’t much regulated, especially since city officials themselves have weddings to host.

Caught off guard by surprise, Chen Yunyun turned back to check Jiang Nian’s position and, gritting her teeth, also grabbed his hand to pull him in.

There were greeters at the door, but they didn’t check invitations.

Chen Yunyun and Wang Yuhe each stated their names, the greeter glanced at Jiang Nian, then at Chen Yunyun holding the boy’s hand and turned to look elsewhere.

High school sweethearts.

But what’s with the three of them tagging along like candied haw?

Chuyun Hotel can host two wedding banquets simultaneously, and by coincidence, two families were holding weddings.

The three stood puzzled at the landscape mural wall near the entrance, looking at the two reception booths. How could there be two weddings at the same time? Which entry to choose?

"Do you remember the host’s name?" Jiang Nian asked.

"My parents didn’t say, just told me the hotel location and to mention my dad’s name." Chen Yunyun was also puzzled, turning to ask Wang Yuhe, "Do you know?"

Wang Yuhe shook her head, "They told me, but I didn’t catch it."

Typically, there would be someone guiding guests here. It seemed like, with guests nearly absent as it neared serving time, the staff were busy at other tasks.

The fireworks at the entrance went off, signaling the start of the meal.

Jiang Nian covered an ear with one hand, raising his voice.

"I’ll ask the greeter by the door."

"No, no need." Chen Yunyun blushed. She doubted she had the courage to hold hands again, plus explaining it all to Jiang Nian was quite troublesome.

"I’ll call my parents to check."

"Sure." Jiang Nian readily agreed.

After a short while, having learned the name, they entered the corridor on the right.

At the table.

Yang Qiming and Huang Caicai sat next to each other, and everyone at the table seemed unfamiliar.

The others didn’t seem to know each other well either, only two elderly folks and a few middle-aged men were awkwardly chatting.

On the surface, the two were playing on their phones, but they were actually chatting.

Huang: "Bro, I’m starving to death, why isn’t food served yet?"

Yang: "They just set off fireworks, it’ll be served soon."

Huang: "Why’d we choose this table? Bro, I want to sit at the table with more girls, they don’t eat meat."

Yang: "You’re confused. We came here to eat seriously. The older men can’t chew, and the middle-aged ones just drink and brag. All the dishes are for us, right?"

Huang Caicai was amazed, thinking that Brother Yang truly had experience.

"Bro, if not for your reminder, I would’ve sat at the kids’ table."

Yang Qiming grinned, chastising through text.

"You’re wrong. The kids’ table is a bit tough at the start. First, you need to get friendly by asking about their grades, then praise their success, and serve them drinks one by one."

"Once they’re full with drinks, they can’t sustain mid-meal, and later you can eat as you wish."

"This requires a precise grasp of social graces, unlike our table. Silent with each on phones, we strike as they drink."

Yang Qiming was actually hungry too, so hungry that his chest was practically touching his back.

Texting so much to reply to Huang Caicai was merely to divide his focus a bit.

He thought about how he, once so grand... had devolved to coveting banquets to the extent of devising strategies to eat more.

Truly lamenting the decline of a hero, with so much regret.

Seeing the cold dishes come up.

They quickly helped themselves to cold pig’s ears.

With their stomachs partially filled, Huang Caicai finally had time to reply to Yang Qiming, while also asking the final question.

"Brother Yang, which table is the worst to sit at?"

Yang Qiming saw the pig knuckle approaching the table and quickly responded.

"The one with many aunties."

On the other side.

Jiang Nian and Chen Yunyun were seated at a relatively secluded table, with only two or three others and a little girl of a few years sitting there.

The whole table had an odd atmosphere, as if the others were all ex-girlfriends of the groom, each engrossed in their phones. They were indifferent to the food, eating sporadically.

The dishes were served, and Wang Yuhe was struggling to reach for radish balls, getting a bit anxious.

"Yunyun, help me get that."

Finding it a bit amusing, Chen Yunyun didn’t mind and got up to serve her.

"Here you go."

"Thanks, Yunyun," Wang Yuhe said.

Just as she sat down, the little girl beside her tugged on Chen Yunyun’s clothing and said in a cute voice.

"Yunyun, help me get some ducky."
