Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

So, this silly little girl thought she was capable again!

Xiao Meng put down her orange juice, turned her head slightly to look at Yu Zhe, blinked her beautiful big eyes, and asked softly, "Did you hear that, Yu Zhe? There's also our version! That's so great! Why don't we follow this rumor and sneak off on a date after school..."

"Xiaomeng, you know what, the orange juice in your shop is freshly squeezed, right? It's really quite delicious."

"..."

You definitely did this on purpose, didn't you...?

Oh well, never mind, Xiaomeng, there's no need to rush things. The opportunity will come eventually... right?

She was just a little disappointed, but Qin Ruoke, who was eating her food by herself next to her, had been a little annoyed since earlier.

So, why is there absolutely no version featuring her and Yu Zhe?!

So it's because I'm usually too quiet... That makes sense, what right do people who don't talk have to demand that they have a version of themselves?

But, hmph, if you knew that her house was right next to Yu Zhe's, it would definitely scare them.

But Qin Ruoke wouldn't tell anyone; she kept it to herself and didn't want to mention it to others.

When they had almost finished eating the food on the table, Aunt Liu brought the waiter over with a tray to replenish the dishes.

It's obvious that Xiaomeng chose this location for the gathering not to increase revenue; she might even have to pay out of her own pocket for it.

In short, as long as everyone enjoys the meal, that's all that matters.

Around nine o'clock, the homeroom teacher, Fang Lan, received a phone call. After finishing the call, she stood up, first gesturing for everyone to quiet down, and then said apologetically.

"Dear students, I have to leave early because of some family matters. Enjoy your meal and have fun, but please be mindful of the time. You must be home by the time you arrive. Please be careful on your way home and let us know you've arrived safely in the class group chat. Understand?"

"Don't worry, teacher, we're all here."

"You're such a big person now."

"Take care, old teacher!"

"Stand up and see the teacher off."

Everyone was very polite and saw the teacher off.

But what does it mean that Teacher Fang is leaving?

Nobody's taking care of them anymore!

With the teacher here, who would dare drink alcohol? Those boys, who already felt something was off about the orange juice and tea, now had no worries.

A few boys went out and ordered several cases of beer, which they then brought in.

"Come on, everyone, have a drink first, and we'll ask for more if we're still hungry."

"Well, Li, I never knew you could hold your liquor."

"Want a drink? Who do you think you are? I'm known as the one who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

"Ha, you've got it all set up. Come on, get the cups and the playing cards. Let me show you that your dad is still your dad."

Bottles of liquor were placed on the table, starting from the boys at the very edge.

Many girls were even eager to try it out, as a little drink could indeed liven up the atmosphere.

Seeing this, Xiao Meng got up and picked up the microphone: "Classmates, let's make this clear first, drink in moderation. Our teacher is gone, but we need to be mindful of our behavior. Let me tell you upfront, if any of you get drunk here, no one will take you home."

Everyone understood perfectly well what the class monitor meant by that joke.

"Don't worry, squad leader, we're just having a good time. We'll stop after a few drinks."

"Just those few cases, once they're finished, that's it, there won't be any more."

"That's right, just don't make things difficult for the class monitor, try to get Xiao Li drunk and that's it."

Li: ? ? ? Who's not speaking human language again?!

After saying this, Xiaomeng sat back down in her seat and saw Yuzhe also looking in the direction of the wine box.

Without saying a word, Xiaomeng nudged Yuzhe's arm with her own: "You can't drink a single drop! Stop looking!"

“Hey…” Yu Zhe thought they could discuss it. “But I usually drink red wine and white wine, and I don’t think I’ve ever had beer before. Xiao Meng, can you give me a chance? Just one glass, okay?”

Before Xiaomeng could say anything, Qin Ruoke's attitude was also decisive: "No, we promised Zixiao that we can't let you drink alcohol, otherwise we'll be the ones to take the blame."

“Exactly, exactly.” Xiao Meng chimed in, “Yu Zhe, even if you’re thinking of us, just bear with it. I’ll bring you a good bottle to try later. Hey, beer isn’t anything special.”

"Have you had it?"

"No, my parents won't let me touch it."

And you still say it so confidently!

There's really no way around it; the left and right sides are tightly controlled, so Yu Zhe can't drink even if he wants to. He might as well just continue drinking his orange juice.

But that's fine too, so I won't drink a single cup. Even if I only drink one cup, Zixiao will definitely be able to smell it when I get home, and then I'll inevitably get a lecture from Zixiao.

That being said, as expected of Xiaomeng, she must have told everyone beforehand not to come and cause trouble for Yuzhe.

Because you see, everyone was drinking, but no one came over to Yu Zhe to urge him to drink more. If Xiao Meng hadn't said so beforehand, this situation would never have happened.

As expected, even little girls can be very useful.

Thanks to this, Yu Zhe has been sitting quietly until now, without having to say anything. It seems he can wait peacefully until the dinner is over. Hmm... it's been a good experience.

Just as Yu Zhe was about to enjoy a bite of food, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

Everyone heard it, of course, and they all turned their heads away.

Just then, I saw a boy who was nearly 1.9 meters tall push open the door and walk in quickly.

He is Zhang Yiran, a hot-blooded young man who is known as the tyrant of the West Campus, cough cough... although he was only recently taken in as a follower by Yu Zhe.

What's this guy doing here? Is this your classroom?

He burst in, his voice so loud everyone could hear him even without a microphone: "Excuse me, everyone! Is the boss here too?!"

"You bastard! Didn't I tell you to call me 'Big Brother'? He's right here!"

Yu Zhe's temper flared up instantly. He had been in a good mood all night, but suddenly he turned on you like a "big sister".

"Oh, big brother, you're here! I heard your class is having a get-together here tonight! So I came to check it out, it was worth the trip!"

Zhang Yiran's eyes were filled with admiration as he said to Xiao Li next to him, "Can I join?"

"Come on!" Little Li said, holding a bottle of liquor. "You should have a drink too, really! If you don't come, they'll get me drunk."

After saying that, Zhang Yiran sat down at Xiao Li's table.

They probably met during the sports meet. Zhang Yiran and Xiao Li were in the same group for sprinting, so they probably added each other as friends or something.

Oh, I understand now, Yu Zhe.

This is the reinforcement that Xiao Li called!

Look, just now, Xiao Li was being relentlessly forced to drink alcohol. He definitely needs to come up with a solution.

It has to be said that he was quite clever. He must have secretly sent a message to Zhang Yiran, saying that Yu Zhe was also there, to lure Zhang Yiran over, and then used him to shield Zhang Yiran from the drinking to draw attention away from the situation.

Xiao Li is quite capable; he knows that Zhang Yiran could easily drink a whole case by himself.

However, his classmates at the same table all looked at him with disdain.

Good heavens, Li, are you trying to start a rebellion? You actually brought in this guy.

Everything was normal until after a few rounds of drinks, and Zhang Yiran seemed to have lost his mind again.

It's probably because their table happened to be talking about Yu Zhe.

Moreover, Zhang Yiran had just drunk a few bottles of wine and was a little tipsy, so he simply stood up and said.

"I'm saying... don't you guys think that our leader... cough... no, our leader, our leader is really amazing!"

The answers to this question were clearly consistent.

"Do you need to tell me?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

"If it weren't for Yu Zhe, we probably wouldn't have been able to have this get-together today."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Zhang Yiran was very satisfied with the boys' answer. If they could understand the greatness of their older brother, then they were all good classmates!

Moreover, their topic was also recognized by others.

Only Yu Zhe had a vague sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, Zhang Yiran's next words made Yu Zhe want to go over and beat him up.

"That's why! On an occasion like this, how could we not let my older brother say a few words? This part is indispensable!"

Zhang Yiran wouldn't want to listen to the principal speak, but he would be the first to object if his older brother wasn't allowed to speak!

Everyone felt a little awkward after hearing that...

No, the class monitor just said that we shouldn't make a fuss about Yu Zhe's issue.

But Zhang Yiran didn't know that! He was a newcomer!

Without prior arrangement, everyone turned their attention to Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng.

Those looks seemed to say: This isn't something we're messing around with... It's people that Xiao Li brought in, they don't know any better.

Li, you're in danger.

But since the conversation had already reached this point, Yu Zhe didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After I hit Zhang Yiran with the microphone for a bit, I'll just say a few words.

Well, hopefully the microphone won't get smashed.

69. Surprised? (Bonus Chapter)

As it turns out, both the microphone and Zhang Yiran's head were quite sturdy; at least neither was damaged.

Forced by the situation, Yu Zhe had no choice but to pick up the microphone, stand up in front of his desk, and say a few words.

"Hey, can you hear me? Can you hear me?"

As was his habit, he first tested the sound, and his heavenly voice immediately filled the entire room.
