He met her, then fell in love with her—it was as if he had fallen under a spell!
That’s what Li Weihuan told Nanxi!
As Nanxi was mulling over this, a drink was handed to her.
“Have a drink with me.
I’ve faced punches and bled for your affairs with Huanzi…
Nanxi clenched her teeth, exhaled, and raised her glass, saying, “Well, thank you!”
“How standoffish!” Yang Su said from the side with some disgruntlement.
“Standoffish?” Bai Yuchuan laughed, “Susu, are you trying to force me into a toast with Nanxi?!”
Yang Su smiled and said, “A toast?
Sure, I’ll drink with you, dare you?!”
Xiaobai, do you dare duel drinks?
Loser downs three shots?
Do you dare!” Lan Qiqi stood up and provocatively addressed Bai Yuchuan.
“Haha!” Zhang Mu laughed, turned to Bai Yuchuan, and raised his eyebrows, “Xiaobai, you’re on!”
Bai Yuchuan shook his head, “The girls these days…
they’re so intense… be careful or no one will want you!”
“You don’t need to worry about this!” Lan Qiqi picked up her drink and took a sip.
Nanxi pursed her lips, feeling a slight sense of gratitude.
Yang Su and Lan Qiqi were standing up for her!
While Bai Yuchuan and Zhang Mu weren’t going to bully her or anything, she wasn’t good at drinking.
“You should at least have a little.
It’s not easy for us to get together!” Liang Qiaoqiao lightened the atmosphere, “Even if all of you get drunk, I’ll make sure everyone gets home safely.
So, let’s drink to our heart’s content…”
After finishing, Liang Qiaoqiao looked at Nanxi and raised her glass to her, “Nanxi, although you haven’t formally graduated yet, you are now stepping into society.
I know you can’t drink much, but in the future, social drinking is inevitable!
Today, it’s just us, you don’t need to be reserved.
Let me drink the first toast to you!”
This is the first time Nanxi had heard such heartfelt words from her usually unreliable cousin.
If her uncle heard this, he would surely be touched.
She smiled faintly and clinked glasses with Liang Qiaoqiao, “I wish you fresh love this year and a handsome man to bring home as my cousin-in-law!”
“Haha!” Liang Qiaoqiao laughed, “Thank you for your kind words, Nanxi.
“I also want to toast!”
“Everyone, let’s all toast together!”
“Finish the drink in one gulp, it’s beer, no big deal!”
After everyone’s cheers and exclamations, they clinked their glasses together and drank enthusiastically!
Following this opening round, everyone let loose, toasting to friendship, to love, to career…
After several rounds of toasts, majority had become inebriated…
Liang Qiaoqiao went out to receive a call.
When she returned, she found the room was in an uproar.
She sighed and her gaze fell on Nanxi, who was sitting on the side, resting her cheek on her hand, and smiling at everyone…
Under the soft, bright lights, her face had a slightly dazed and tipsy look.
She looked exceptionally graceful and beautiful…
Liang Qiaoqiao was momentarily stunned, her eyes sparkled with surprise…
