Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 59 Wang Dong's Self-Destruction

Wang Dong chuckled and chimed in, "Alright, Xiao Mu, everyone knows what's going on, so don't be shy. You'd better have a blast tonight."

Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement, their eyes full of anticipation.

Just then, the shopkeeper and his staff filed in and began serving the dishes, one exquisite dish after another being brought to the table.

Everyone's eyes lit up at the sight of the delicious food on the table. They didn't bother to say anything more and picked up their chopsticks, ready to feast.

Deng Mu greeted everyone with a smile, "Don't be shy, everyone. Come on, have a good time tonight! Eat and drink well, and have a great time!"

After saying that, he picked up a piece of pork knuckle, put it in his mouth, and looked satisfied.

Seeing this, the others also laughed and started eating.

The private room was instantly filled with lively chatter, the sounds of clinking bowls and chopsticks mingling with laughter.

Tang Ya ate while mumbling her praises, "Wow, the food at Jufulou is truly as good as its reputation! It's so delicious!"

As he spoke, he picked up another large chopstick of shrimp and put it in his mouth.

Jiang Nannan also looked like she was enjoying herself, and nodded gently, saying, "Yes, this tastes really authentic. Xiao Mu really chose a good place."

Huo Yutong ate until her cheeks were bulging, like a little hamster, and didn't forget to give Deng Mu a thumbs up: "Brother Mu, you have such good taste, this dish is delicious tonight."

Xiao Xiao chimed in, her mouth full of food, making "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" sounds, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Dong, quick as a flash, picked out all the dishes he liked and put them in his bowl, not forgetting to tease Deng Mu: "Hmph, for the sake of this delicious food, I'll forgive you for going to the inner courtyard. You'd better remember us often and find a chance to bring us here to eat something delicious again."

Deng Mu nodded repeatedly and replied with a smile, "Of course! I won't forget everyone. I'll definitely come back here to get together again when I have the chance."

Tang Ya looked around and, noticing there was no fruit wine, asked, "Xiao Mu, why isn't there any fruit wine?"

Deng Mu paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Oh dear, look at my memory, I almost forgot about the fruit wine. I'll go and have the waiter bring some over."

As he spoke, Deng Mu quickly got up and walked out of the private room. He found a nearby waiter, explained the situation, and asked him to quickly bring over a few jugs of the finest fruit wine.

A short while later, the waiter brought several jugs of fruit wine into the private room. The wine was bright in color and had a refreshing fruity aroma.

Deng Mu took the wine pot, poured a glass for Tang Ya, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiao Ya, here's some fruit wine. Try it and see how it tastes."

Tang Ya picked up her wine glass, took a small sip, and her eyes immediately lit up. She said with satisfaction, "Hmm, this fruit wine is quite good, just to my liking."

Seeing Tang Ya's reaction, the others also became interested and asked Deng Mu to pour them a glass as well.

Deng Mu smiled and poured everyone a full glass of fruit wine. The wine swirled in the glass, and the aroma of the fruit became increasingly rich.

Everyone picked up the fruit wine, gently swirled the glass, looked at its clear color, smelled its enticing aroma, and couldn't wait to taste it.

After taking a small sip, Huo Yutong's eyes sparkled, and she said with delight, "This fruit wine tastes so good, I love it!"

Xiao Xiao also took a sip, nodding and praising indistinctly, "Mmm, it really tastes good. It makes my meals taste even better."

Wang Dong, on the other hand, drank in large gulps, glancing at Tang Ya every now and then with a defiant look in his eyes, as if to say, "Watch me drink just as fast as you."

Seeing this, Tang Ya was not to be outdone. She took another sip, then deliberately swirled her wine glass slowly and raised an eyebrow at Wang Dong.

Wang Dong gulped down several large mouthfuls in one go, and even burped when he put down the glass. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said loudly, "This fruit wine is so delicious, it's so satisfying to drink. Xiao Mu, you really know how to pick wine."

After saying that, he picked up his wine glass again, ready to drink again, but his eyes were still fixed on Tang Ya's movements, hoping to outdo her in drinking.

Everyone else couldn't help but burst into laughter at their childish competition.

Huo Yutong laughed until tears almost came to her eyes, saying between laughs, "You two, you're really going at it even while drinking fruit wine, it's hilarious."

Xiao Xiao laughed along, her mouth full of food, and mumbled, "That's right, that's right, but this fruit wine is really delicious."

Jiang Nannan smiled and shook her head, continuing to elegantly savor the food, occasionally taking a sip of fruit wine, enjoying the lively and joyful atmosphere of the gathering.

After finishing his meal, Wang Dong was already quite drunk.

Deng Mu looked at the drunk Wang Dong and shook his head helplessly. He got up, walked to Wang Dong's side, gently patted his shoulder, and said, "Dongzi, you can drink too much. How did you get so drunk?"

Wang Dong groggily raised his head, his eyes somewhat unfocused, and mumbled, "Xiao Mu, I'm not drunk. This fruit wine is so delicious, I can drink more..."

Before he could finish speaking, his head tilted to the side, and he almost fell off the chair.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Deng Mu quickly helped him up and turned to the others, saying, "We need to take Dongzi back to rest first. The gathering is almost over. We'll get together again next time."

Jiang Nannan came over to help support Wang Dong, saying, "Let's take Wang Dong home first, so he doesn't feel uncomfortable here."

The others nodded; it was time to go back to their dorms.

So, the crowd helped the drunken Wang Dong away from Jufulou and headed towards the academy under the moonlight.

……

Back in the dormitory, Deng Mu put the drunk Wang Dong on the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, intending to take off Wang Dong's school uniform.

Wang Dong, still somewhat dazed, hugged Deng Mu and said, "Little Mu, I have a secret to tell you."

Hearing Wang Dong's words, Deng Mu asked curiously, "Dongzi, what secret?"

Wang Dong, half-asleep, hugged Deng Mu, his eyes darting around, and mumbled, "Little Mu, let me tell you, actually... actually I'm not a boy, I'm a girl, hehe, this is my big secret, I'll tell you..."

Upon hearing this, Deng Mu looked at Wang Dong with some surprise, not expecting that Wang Dong would reveal her true gender.

Seeing Wang Dong's drunken state, Deng Mu touched Wang Dong's face and sighed.

After Wang Dong mumbled out her secret that she was a girl, she suddenly leaned in and gently kissed Deng Mu's cheek before he could react.

In that instant, Deng Mu was completely stunned, never expecting such a thing to happen.

He could clearly feel the warmth and softness, as well as the aroma carrying a hint of alcohol.

After kissing Deng Mu, Wang Dong seemed to be stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes in a daze, muttering unintelligible words. He gradually let go of Deng Mu's hands, lay back on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep, his breathing even and long.
