On this night, some teenagers wept over their failures, while some elderly people reflected on their lives.

Some people were having a celebratory banquet, where teachers from Tianxia Academy, Wang Xueyou's parents, and many friends of the same age, including cadres under Qin Lao, were all gathered.

Chen Shi both liked and disliked this atmosphere.

He likes it when he just sits on the sidelines and participates lightly, enjoying the quiet moments most of the time. But he doesn't like it when he has to entertain guests as the host.

Fortunately, today's main character is Jacky Wong.

He was so drunk he had forgotten everything, staggering and swaying unsteadily. His burly father, Wang Guanyong, pointed at him and said, "No one in the Wang family has such a low alcohol tolerance as you. You're such a disgrace!"

A lively dining table, bathed in warm light.

Di Yun smiled and looked at Chen Shi, saying, "Another year of easy wins! Two years in a row!"

"Damn, how come you're so lucky?!"

Chen Shi said smugly, "This is called 'those who follow the Way receive much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little help.'"

Di Yun joked, "When did you learn all this gibberish? Speak like a human being."

Chen Wan'er covered her mouth and chuckled, mocking the illiterate man.

At this moment, Chen Shi cleared his throat and explained, "I said I'm handsome."

"What!?" Di Yun's eyes widened. "I didn't hear you. Say it again."

Chen Shi quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's nothing."

"Oh," Di Yun chuckled, "when did you become so narcissistic?"

Xuexin said with a grin, "Master, you don't know this, but he's actually quite narcissistic in private."

"He's a repressed pervert."

"Really?!" Chen Shi panicked and quickly denied it.

Di Yun teased, "You're all talk and no action on the surface, but you secretly drink and smoke, right?"

"Did you do anything you shouldn't have done to your junior sister?"

These words were spoken.

Immediately, many people turned to look at Chen Shi, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Xuexin blushed and buried her head in Chen Shi's chest.

Chen Wan'er slapped Di Yun's thigh and said, "What are you asking!"

Di Yun said matter-of-factly, "Isn't he a grown man? He'll be eighteen next year, what's wrong with asking him!"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "No, no, not yet."

At this moment, Di Yun changed the subject and asked, "Then why don't you two get married next year?"

"What!?" Chen Shi's eyes widened instantly.

Di Yun took a deep drag of his cigarette and said, "You'll be old enough next year."

"Are you planning to find someone new later?"

"If you don't want to, why not get married?"

"Back when your teacher's wife and I first entered university, we secretly got our marriage certificate."

Chen Shi raised an eyebrow: "Isn't there supposed to be a wedding or something?"

"The wedding can be held whenever you want," Di Yun suddenly frowned and said, "I don't think I've ever held a wedding for your master's wife yet, have I?"

Chen Wan'er crossed her legs, propped her cheeks up with her hands, and laughed, "I'm an old woman now, there's no need to do it anymore."

Di Yun: "Why not? It's absolutely necessary!"

"And who said you're old? You look so young."

"Sure, I'll get one next year, and you can get one with me."

"Holding the two weddings together saves trouble!"

"How wonderful!"

Chen Wan'er rolled her eyes and said, "What kind of master holds a wedding with their disciple? That's absurd!"

"Yes!" Di Yun nodded, "That's exactly the effect we want—an effect that's unprecedented and will never be repeated!"

"This is more in line with the standards of exceptional individuals like us!"

Chen Wan'er rolled her eyes: "You two ignore your master, he's already drunk."

Di Yun scoffed, "Drunk? To be honest, it's only just begun. I was just rinsing my mouth at most."

Chen Wan'er chuckled: "This is the first sign that your master has drunk too much; he's talking nonsense."

At that moment, Jacky Wang leaned over and said, "Holy crap?"

"Are you two getting married next year?"

Chen Shi quickly shook his head and said, "That's not true."

"Not getting married?" Wang Xueyou's eyes widened. "She's been with you for six or seven years and you're not going to marry her?"

Chen Shi snorted coldly, "Nonsense, of course I'll marry her."

"Then next year," Wang Xueyou said with gleaming eyes, "I'll have my dad arrange for a hundred troops to celebrate for you, and set off annihilation cannons as fireworks, absolutely awesome!"

Wang Guanyong slapped him on the forehead: "Are you fucking drunk?!"

"If you've had too much to drink, go throw up!"

Wang Xueyou was dragged away with an embarrassed smile.

After three rounds of drinks.

Chen Shi's side fell completely quiet as his master and mistress went to chat with the elders.

Chen Shi was also slightly tipsy. He looked at Xue Xin, whose cheeks were flushed. She was leaning on Chen Shi's shoulder with her eyes closed, as if she was already drunk.

This isn't right.

Her alcohol tolerance is normally much better than mine.

"Are you drunk?" Chen Shi asked.

Zhang Xuexin opened her eyes, her long eyelashes sparkling, and said coquettishly, "I'm drunk just seeing my senior brother."

Her voice was very shy and childlike, making Chen Shi's heart itch, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

"You seem to be in a good mood today?"

"Yes," Zhang Xuexin said softly, "There's only one more state tournament left, and then we'll be seniors."

"This year we won't have to deal with older students anymore, so there's no pressure."

"Just thinking about it makes me feel better, doesn't it?"

Her soft, alluring eyes stared intently at the young man.

The boy felt hot all over under the girl's tender and alluring gaze.

At that moment, he seemed to suddenly have an epiphany, realizing that Xuexin's happiness was not just because the pressure would be lighter next year, but more importantly because of the things his master had just mentioned.

After finishing his senior year of high school, he would be considered an adult male under human law and eligible to enter into marriage.

He said softly, "Then, junior sister, shall we get married next year?"

Xuexin, who was already smiling, broke into a wide smile upon hearing this, and threw her soft body into Chen Shi's arms.

Chen Shi raised an eyebrow and whispered, "There are a lot of people around."

After Xuexin hummed in agreement, she whispered in Chen Shi's ear, "Then let's go back to the hotel, brother."

"I'm sleepy, I want to go to sleep."

"Okay." Chen Shi nodded, greeted everyone, and then left the banquet with Xue Xin, hailing a taxi at the entrance to go to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Xuexin went to her room to take a shower, and Chen Shi also went to his room first.

After half an hour.

Chen Shi's martial arts skills brought news of Xue Xin.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Chen Shi was currently in the basement of the hotel, repairing a palace, when he returned to the training room.

In the guest room.

Xuexin smiled helplessly, tossed her phone aside, silently took off her favorite thick black stockings, put on normal pajamas, and thought to herself that her senior brother was really a fool.

I'm a night owl, how could I possibly be sleepy at a time like this?

It wasn't until noon the next day, on the plane back to Jiangzhou, that Chen Shicai suddenly realized something and asked, "Were you sleepy so early last night?"

"Are you sick?"

Zhang Xuexin smiled as she looked at the clouds flowing backwards outside the window, without answering.
