Chapter 884: Chapter 884

"Come on, cheers! Congratulations to Little Fatty for finally escaping the bitter sea of life!"

At the dinner table, Ruan Xue’s hand rested on Xia Hao’s shoulder as she heartily raised her glass and said with enthusiasm, "Little Fatty, once you get to Xuandu City, if anyone bullies you, just drop my name. I guarantee you’ll be walking sideways there!"

Xia Hao twitched the corner of his mouth and downed his beer in one gulp, awkwardly echoing Ruan Xue’s words with a look of pleading directed at An Yiqing.

He had never had physical contact with the opposite sex, and even with An Yiqing, Xia Hao was always honest, polite, and very gentlemanly. Faced with a tomboyish girl like Ruan Xue, the innocent Xia Hao was powerless.

An Yiqing watched Xia Hao’s plea for help with a smile, mischievously blinking her eyes. Although she wanted to enjoy the spectacle, she still gave her old friend an out.

"Xiao Xue, stop picking on Haozi, will you? He can’t hold his liquor, and it’ll make him miserable if he drinks too much. If you want to drink, I’ll keep you company today."

Ruan Xue’s eyes lit up, and she quickly let go of Xia Hao’s shoulder, slapped the table, and stood up, "You said it, no going back today! If you don’t drink with me—" She stopped mid-sentence as she caught the warning in Gu Yelin’s stare and swiftly changed the subject, "I think we’d better not, after all. Young people should drink less, for health’s sake!"

"Tsk tsk, a bully at heart, picking on the weak..." Gu Tingting commented while stuffing her face with food.

Ruan Xue’s eyebrows shot up as she looked at Gu Tingting and said, "With so much food and you still can’t keep your mouth shut, the man who marries you truly commits a sin! What do you think, Big Brother An?"

Gu Tingting’s face tensed, her mouth bulging with food, and her heart began to beat irregularly again.

As everyone’s gaze fell upon him, An Zhihang looked at Gu Tingting, who was puffing out her cheeks, and said softly, "Tingting is very cute, whoever marries her will be lucky."

Gu Tingting beamed, completely smitten, while Ruan Xue and An Yiqing felt relieved.

"Wow, look at you, Big Brother An, if you think so highly of Tingting, why not marry her yourself? Stay in the family, right?" Ruan Xue pushed further, pulling An Yiqing in to ask, "Xiao Qing, how would you feel about having that girl Tingting as your sister-in-law?"

"Um, I can barely accept that," An Yiqing replied, nodding solemnly.

"You guys..." Gu Tingting’s face had turned into a hot little tomato, and she glared at Ruan Xue in frustration before anxiously looking at An Zhihang, "Big Brother An, don’t get the wrong idea, Xiao Xue hasn’t taken her medicine today, her brain’s a bit off..."

Watching Gu Tingting, flustered and scrambling for an explanation, An Zhihang’s smile remained gentle and cultured. Suddenly, he found the blushing girl rather adorable.

The pleasant dinner lasted two hours before everyone finally packed up and left, too full to eat more.

This was a leisure club in Qingning City, a one-stop place for dining, drinking, and fun with good food that Xia Hao remembered from a previous visit.

In the lobby of the club, An Yiqing and the others were hotly debating over who should settle the bill.

"Qingqing, how can I let you pay? You drove here from Xuandu City just to be with me for my exams, no way, this meal is on me!" Xia Hao placed his hand in front of An Yiqing, adamantly refusing to let her pay.

"Haozi, you’ve just graduated and have no income. Let me treat this time, and you can make it up to me after you start working, okay?" An Yiqing tried to persuade Xia Hao, who stood in front of her like a fighting cock, steadfast in his resolve.

Xia Hao shook his head vigorously, refusing to agree, and went back and forth with An Yiqing, each trying to persuade the other. Meanwhile, led by Gu Yelin, the rest of the well-fed group didn’t intervene and instead sat on the lounge sofas to enjoy the show.

"Oh! Who is this? Neglecting your own grandma and daring to come out here to pick up girls!"

A sarcastic voice completely shattered the harmony.
