When Xu Nian’an woke up, he felt dizzy and in pain.
"Second brother, you were so drunk yesterday that you didn’t even recognize people, and you kept holding onto a classmate’s hand, insisting she be your girlfriend."
Xu Nianhua looked seriously at Xu Nian’an, scaring him quite a bit. He tried to recall the memories of the previous day. Besides drinking with classmates, he seemed to have rejected a few of them, and then what?
Xu Nian’an thought hard, very hard, but still couldn’t remember. He looked at Xu Nianhua with a panicked face and said, "Little sister, you’re my real sister. Surely I didn’t really do such a thing, did I?"
Xu Nianhua nodded affirmatively.
Looking utterly dejected, Xu Nian’an said, "It’s over, it’s over. Why did I drink so much?"
Xu Nianhua looked playfully at him, thinking her second brother looked so silly. She leaned in and said, "Yesterday, I saw quite a few classmates confess to you. Why didn’t you accept any of them?"
Upon hearing it was fake, Xu Nian’an immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, after hearing her words, he looked at her through gritted teeth and said, "Did Chen Hu come looking for you yesterday?"
He had been so hassled by classmates that he had no time to keep an eye on her.
"Second brother, no need to change the subject. I think there were a few classmates who weren’t too bad, like Zheng Jin." Xu Nianhua stealthily tried to gauge her second brother’s thoughts.
Zheng Jin was indeed a nice girl, simple and straightforward, without any malice, and as for her looks, she was decent and elegant, quite a sight to behold.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Xu Nian’an glared at her and said, "I’m not thinking about dating. I want to go to university; I want to be a doctor."
Xu Nianhua felt somewhat disappointed, having hoped that there could be some development between her second brother and Zheng Jin. She suddenly said, "Tonight, Cheng Hao is inviting us to dinner, saying he wants to introduce his girlfriend to us."
Originally, Cheng Hao had wanted to introduce her sooner, but unfortunately, both she and her second brother were occupied with classes and preparing for college entrance exams, while Pei Yicheng was getting treatment in Xi Province.
"We’re not going to drink, are we?"
Xu Nian’an, still feeling a headache, became even more headachy at the mention of dinner.
At Yingbin Grand Hotel, the county’s finest hotel, just the decor alone was a cut above the rest.
The previous two times, they ate at Friendship Hotel, which was also good, but it couldn’t quite compare to Yingbin Grand Hotel.
"Cheng Hao, will your friends not like me?" Zou Yaru got a little worried at the thought of meeting Cheng Hao’s friends. She looked over her dress and said, "Is this dress too formal for the occasion?"
She was wearing a long, white dress today, adorned with a pink flower at the waist, suiting her usual ethereal fairy style, making her look every bit the gentlewoman.
Her hair was black and straight, and today it was tied up in a princess style, which looked quiet and very much in keeping with her dress and demeanor.
"How could they not, they’ll definitely like you," Cheng Hao reassured her, holding her hand and smiling. "My Little Fairy is so beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven; who wouldn’t like that? You look the most beautiful in this dress today."
Cheng Hao’s words were as sweet as honey, slowly erasing Zou Yaru’s insecurities. She gave a soft smile and said, "You’re just saying that to comfort me."
"Yaru, I speak nothing but the truth," Cheng Hao insisted, looking at her affectionately. Her face was one he could never tire of. Zou Yaru was completely different from anyone he had dated before, giving him a constant desire to cherish her in the palm of his hand.
