Chapter 1213: Pretending

ach the designated sniping point, where a long-range sniper rifle awaited – it had been set up beforehand.She took a deep breath and listened intently for a moment, observing the current situation thr..."Xīnruò, you guys came! Come sit down quickly!"

Hu Xingbang said with a smile.

"Class monitor, did you bring enough money today We're sharpening our knives and getting ready to feast on you. Who do you think you are, stealing the hearts of the cutest girl in our dorm"

As the dorm's self-proclaimed elder sister, Ripples spoke first and made her stance clear.

"Haha, don't worry, there's plenty of delicious food and drinks today. Order whatever you want, I even brought two good friends over. If I run out of money, I'll ask them to help."

Hu Xingbang talked about the atmosphere, then pushed out his good friends around him, letting them introduce themselves.

"My name is Wu Liang, I'm Xingbang's childhood friend, and it's great to meet you all."

A young man, standing at 1.75 meters tall and somewhat slender in build, with a refined and scholarly appearance, introduced himself first.

"My name is Cheng Lei. I'm a neighbor of yours from Xingbang, and we both got accepted here. However, we are in different majors."

The person who spoke next was about six feet tall, the tallest of the three. He had tanned skin and an unremarkable appearance, the kind that would blend into a crowd. His expression was rather cold as well, seeming more like he was dragged along to the gathering against his will than genuinely enthusiastic about being there.

"Xiaoliang, Lei Zi, allow me to introduce you to our five golden flowers from our class. They are all talented and beautiful students, professional treasures! This is Zhao Xiner, my current girlfriend."

After introducing the five people one by one, Hu Xingbang naturally sat down beside Zhao Xiner.

"By the time you get here, I'll have ordered a few cold dishes and two of their signature dishes. You can take a look at the rest and order whatever you like."

Hu Xingbang said very generously.

"Well, you've shown some sincerity. But let's have Xinuo agree first. She's the main character, and if she doesn't agree, we'd be embarrassed."

Jian Luo Xi also laughed and egged him on.

Zhao Xiner smiled and nodded, then took the menu. She symbolically ordered a dish, followed by ripples among the four of them. Although they said they were going to "skin" the squad leader, everyone ordered with restraint.

After the dishes arrived, everyone chatted and ate, and the atmosphere gradually improved. Halfway through the meal, Wu Liang went out for a while and then came back with a bottle of rice wine.

Come, try some of the rice wine brewed by the boss here. It's really good stuff.

With the corner of her eye, ripples saw Hu XIngbang's curled lips and Qian Luoxi's slightly furrowed brow. She then pretended to say:

"That's not really a good idea, we're still students."

"It's fine, it's the weekend now. Besides, it's just a small bottle. We eight people share it, each person only gets a small cup. At most, I'm letting you guys taste it. If Xingbang wasn't bringing his girlfriend over today, I wouldn't have taken it out."

Wǔ Liàng said nonchalantly.

"Don't worry, after dinner the three of us will be responsible for escorting you back. There won't be any problems. Besides, this rice wine has a low alcohol content, it won't get you drunk at all."

Hu Xingbang also chimed in.

Only Cheng Lei remained silent, his brow furrowed as if he were displeased.

This time, Lian Yi didn't say anything. Since people had already made up their minds, it was pointless for her to stop them. She wanted to see what Hu Xingbang planned to do.

Then, Wu Liang took out small cups and poured a cup for each person. Just as the bottle was finished, there was indeed one small cup per person.

"Come, for our fate's sake, let's have a toast."

Hu Xingbang stood up with a smile on his face, and everyone else followed suit. The eight small cups touched each other, and then everyone took a sip.

The moment Lian Yi picked up the cup, he smelled a strong alcoholic scent. It was definitely high-proof liquor, and he wondered how Wu Liang could say in good conscience that it was low-alcohol rice wine.

There must be some knowledgeable people present. At least Qian Luxi, Cheng Lei, and Lian Yi only took a sip and didn't finish the whole cup. Zhao Xiner drank half a cup and was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue. Sun Guoguo and Li Xingyue also took a lick and were so spicy that they kept drinking water.

"Class monitor, what kind of rice wine is this It's different from the one I usually drink, it's so spicy"

Li Xingyue asked suspiciously.

"Little Bright, this taste is wrong, this isn't rice wine, is it"

Hu Xingbang also frowned and asked.

"It tastes a bit off to me. Hold on, let me ask the boss."

Wu Liang immediately cooperated and said, "He even stood up."

At this moment, the door to their small room was knocked on. A staff member with a worried expression walked in and said apologetically:

"Excuse me, sir, you seem to have taken the wrong bottle of wine. That one belongs to our boss's aged rice wine."

"This...we've already drunk it, what do we do"

Wu Liang looked dumbfounded.

"The alcohol was given to you. You are the ones who made the mistake, and we have nothing to do with it. The cost of this drink cannot be blamed on us."

Wuliang immediately added.

"Yes, that was our mistake. Could I take the remaining drinks back I'll comp your table a bottle of fruit wine as an apology, something more suitable for ladies."

The waiter immediately said, looking at the remaining wine on the table.

Okay.

Hu Xingbang said generously.

The waiter immediately came forward and collected the remaining wine from everyone's cups. After a moment, he brought up a bottle of grape wine and kindly poured a glass for each person.

The transparent glass was filled with dark red wine, and the aroma of grapes piqued everyone's interest. At first, they each took a sip or two, savoring the sweet and sour taste that the girls particularly enjoyed. Gradually, as the alcohol took effect, they started drinking faster. In no time, they finished a whole bottle of fruit wine.

Five girls plus Cheng Lei all lay sprawled on the table. Of course, this didn't include Lian Yi and Qian Luo Xi; both were clever enough not to finish their fruit wine, finding an opportunity to vomit it out before things got worse.

The ripples landed on the towel in her handbag. Qian Luo Xi pretended to be a little drunk, knocked over her chopsticks, then insisted on picking them up herself, and took the opportunity to knock over her water glass as well. The glass and water spilled all over the floor. She took advantage of this to spit her wine into the puddle of water, mixing it together so that no one could see. Who would dare to lie down on the ground and smell it

Hu Xingbang even went forward to shake Zhao Xiner, seeing that she didn't react, he walked to Lian Yi's side and tentatively shook her as well.

R ripples pretended to be drunk, waving her hand weakly, and said without opening her eyes:

"Get out!"

Hu Xingbang was satisfied now. He waved to Wu Liang, and the two men helped the women upstairs into an empty room on the third floor.

The first to be taken away was Zhao Xinru, followed by Lianyi, and lastly the neighbor named Cheng Lei.

When the ripples were thrown onto a bed, Hu Xingbang's excited voice was heard:

"Xiao Liang, thank you for your help today. You can choose any of the remaining three girls, but remember to keep their weaknesses in hand so that they don't cause trouble later."

"Leave everything to me, you can relax! I haven't seen you this attentive to any girl before!"

"I just like conquering women like this, see if she dares to look at me with that kind of eyes after this, I'll talk later when I'm tired."

"Suit yourself, but you're just cheapening Cheng Lei. You're letting him have your boyfriend for free."use me, miss. Please wait!"A gentle male voice came from the stairs on the second floor of the inn.After the ripples settled, he glanced back at the other person and waited for their next words."Excus...
