—"Jiang Tang".

111, have a drink with me.

The image of her in a white dress in my memory seemed to reappear in an instant.

In an instant, Jiang Tang's world seemed to lose its sound and color, leaving only her with sound and color, walking towards him along the staggered grid of the sidewalk.

"install……"

The words came to an abrupt end.

Jiang Tang finally saw her face clearly; she was exquisite and intelligent, with eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting, but ultimately, there are differences between paintings.

"Zhou Zhitu!? It's you! I almost didn't recognize you!"

Zhou Quan's reaction was nothing short of astonishing, but when other people's attention was drawn from his words to Zhou Zhitu's makeup and clothing, many girls subconsciously exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow...is that Zhou Zhitu, the one who always wears glasses and is so unremarkable?"

"I'll never believe that nonsense about 'top students being ugly and only good at studying' again! That kind of motivational talk is toxic! Look at the students in my class!"

"She and Jiang Tang are such a good match, just like before..." a girl said enviously, but she quickly realized her slip of the tongue and didn't continue.

Ever since Jiang Tang wasn't by An Qianxi's side at the last class reunion, topics about the two of them have become taboo at the reunions.

No one knows who really let whom down.

There is only one factual result to be presented here.

Jiang Tang and An Qianxi, the universally acknowledged perfect couple, have broken up.

After graduation.

This only serves to highlight the infamous saying that "graduation season is breakup season."

Those who once confidently declared, "I believe in love again," are now saying, "What is love? Only grades and weight don't lie to me! Waaah!"

Zhou Zhitu floated gracefully to Jiang Tang's side, gave him a deep look, and then turned away, laughing angrily.

"What, so the class monitor means I was ugly before!"

She clenched her little fist as if to throw a punch, but Zhou Quan, the class monitor who had long been trained by the girls in the class to have a conditioned reflex, quickly dodged and smiled apologetically.

But this was a case of ulterior motives; why would Zhou Zhitu use such underhanded tactics on him?

She was just a little annoyed to see him with his arm around Jiang Tang, so she quickly pushed him away and moved in next to Jiang Tang herself.

At the same time, she took Jiang Tang's arm and, while he was still immersed in silent loneliness, led him into the hotel.

"You, you guys!?" Zhou Quan exclaimed in surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent.

The people around noticed the unusual situation, but this time they didn't make a fuss. Instead, they all looked at each other with complicated expressions, unsure of what to say.

Could it be... that Jiang Tang and An Qianxi broke up because of Zhou Zhitu?

A love story between two academic geniuses, a powerful alliance?

But... that doesn't make sense. Are Zhou Zhitu and Jiang Tang really that close?

I've never seen them have any ambiguous relationship.

Fortunately, Jiang Tang's subsequent actions awakened everyone to the fact that this was nothing more than Zhou Zhitu's unrequited love.

"Stop fooling around." Jiang Tang said calmly after regaining his senses, pulling his hand away from Zhou Zhitu's arms and walking into the hotel amidst the gazes and welcome of the crowd.

He didn't want others to misunderstand, whether they misunderstood him or Zhou Zhitu, so he made a rational response.

Zhou Zhitu's smile remained unchanged, and she continued to follow him steadfastly.

"I tripped and fell!"

A young girl suddenly shouted, her eyes filled with excitement.

"What did you bump into? Did you go crazy from reading too many novels?" her friend teased.

But the girl remained unmoved and excitedly recited.

"You are forever number one in my world, I am your absolute follower, and second place is my enduring declaration of love."

"Holy crap, this works! I think I've gotten a little bit of a bump on my skin too..."

"Stop kowtowing here, eating is the most important thing!"

What's love compared to having enough to eat?

Those around them were speechless, and the key point was that the dinner party had indeed begun.

Jiang Tang was one of the later arrivals, but surprisingly, his seat had already been marked, right next to his homeroom teacher, Ms. Liang.

As this year's top scorer and the pride of the year, he certainly deserves to sit in the seat of honor.

As for Zhou Zhitu, she sat down on the other side of Jiang Tang without any hesitation.

Jiang Tang glanced at her helplessly, but his attention was drawn back to her by the loud male voice beside him.

"Jiang Tang, it's really not easy to see you! What have you been busy with lately? You can come to me, your teacher, to help you choose a university or major!"

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher Liang. I've been busy with tutoring and other part-time jobs, so I haven't been paying much attention to the news."

Jiang Tang's tone was slightly apologetic.

"To be honest, Jiang Tang isn't a big fan of messaging apps. I haven't added him as a friend yet."

One of the female classmates boldly remarked that now that they've graduated, most people have shed their former shyness and started to speak freely.

When Teacher Liang heard that Jiang Tang was still working, he sighed. He knew Jiang Tang's family wasn't well-off. He then switched into "teacher mode" and began lecturing the students at the table, saying that Jiang Tang had overcome adversity to achieve great things, and that he had conquered every difficulty he encountered. He then compared this to their situation…

Jiang Tang said he just wanted to have one last meal with his classmates, so why did he suddenly unleash his group mockery skills, teacher...?

Zhou Zhitu smiled smugly. The teacher rarely mentioned her, whether it was praise or criticism. That was the only advantage of being the so-called eternal runner-up.

Thanks to the teacher's provocation, many students exchanged glances and made up their minds to get Jiang Tang drunk today.

This led to people constantly toasting Jiang Tang, and he had no choice but to drink. Even his teacher joined in the fun. Jiang Tang had no choice but to accept the unspoken rules of society. He immediately filled a whole glass and drank it all in one gulp.

A burst of cheers erupted at the dinner table, and everyone's resentment towards Jiang Tang for always being one step ahead of them dissipated.

At that moment, someone suddenly spoke up.

"If An Qianxi were here, Jiang Tang would probably drink twice as much wine, that would be much more lively..."

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she seemed to realize that what she said was inappropriate and hurriedly shut her mouth.

The scene became awkward.

Jiang Tang also remained where he was.

The others exchanged glances, unsure of who was right and who was wrong after Jiang Tang and An Qianxi separated.

Some people are convinced that An Qianxi dumped Jiang Tang, while others say that Jiang Tang initiated the breakup because of his inferiority complex.

But in either case, it's best not to mention it in front of the person involved.

Now things have gotten out of hand, so Teacher Liang coughed lightly, preparing to step in and steer the conversation in a more appropriate direction.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhitu, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

Her voice was soft and sweet as she touched Jiang Tang's wine glass to hers.

"Jiang Tang, want to have a drink with me?"

Jiang Tang was stunned; he seemed to have never seen Zhou Zhitu drink before.

The others, however, came to their senses and joined in the fun.

"Have a drink! Have a drink!"

Amidst the cheers and jeers of the crowd, Zhou Zhitu had already filled Jiang Tang's wine glass.

"I'll finish mine first, you can do whatever you want~"

No one expected that Zhou Zhitu, dressed in a white dress and looking like a youthful dream, would be so bold.

Her lips met the transparent rim of the glass, and with the tilt of her head back, the full glass of wine was swallowed down her slender throat.

Almost instantly, a rosy blush spread across her face, and Zhou Zhitu covered her lips as if afraid she would vomit.

He clearly doesn't drink alcohol.

Even so, she still looked at Jiang Tang with a provocative "it's your turn" gaze, her eyes filled with a smile.

It turns out she never admits defeat.

It's just that Jiang Tang is too strong.

Whether it's studying or drinking capacity.

Jiang Tang gave Zhou Zhitu a deep look, then picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. When he put it down, his expression remained unchanged.

112 Take her home

"If you don't drink, then don't drink."

The banquet ended.

Of course, all good things must come to an end.

Jiang Tang was the last to leave, staying behind to take care of Zhou Zhitu, who was drunk and unconscious.

If he leaves first, Zhou Zhitu will be the last one all alone.

Moreover, when this guy got drunk, he was different from others. He would spout off a series of difficult function problems, which scared the few girls who had stayed behind to take care of him so much that they ran away.

I finally finished the college entrance exam, and I'll never be able to study math again in my life.

Jiang Tang was left listening quietly. Almost the instant she finished reading a question, he could come up with the accurate answer and read it out.

Then Zhou Zhitu recited another question, and Jiang Tang answered it.

He wasn't in a hurry anyway, so this was a good way to sober up.

After answering several questions correctly in a row, Zhou Zhitu smiled foolishly in a daze.

"All answers are correct, here's a girl as a reward~"
