Vol V Chapter 37
"Ring, ring." It was Li Feng's phone alarm again. He always set his phone alarm to 7:40 in the morning. However, she was never the first to wake up. It usually lasted for about 20 seconds before she lazily picked up her phone from the small basket beside her bed and pressed it. Slowly, the other three people got used to it. It was as if they would fall asleep without the alarm one day.
Xiao Lin lay on the bed and opened his eyes to stare at the ceiling. The back of his head was sore, probably because he had drunk last night. However, the strange thing was that she slept quite soundly at night. She was not thirsty in the middle of the night like other times. It must have been because he had vomited on the way back after drinking.
Xiao Lin sat up. At this time, his roommates Li Feng, Zhou Xiaobo, and Yang Yu were still asleep. Today was Friday, and there were no classes for the whole day. Xiao Lin felt that his stomach was still a little uncomfortable. However, last night, everyone was indeed happy. After drinking too much, Xiao Lin thought about whether he had done anything stupid. Last night, Xiao Lin and his good friends from university had a small gathering for the new semester of 2014.
"Hey, Yuanguang, where are you? We're at the bus stop." Xu Zeng called Zhao Yuanguang." Alright, we'll wait for you here."”
Xiao Lin's brothers had arranged to meet up tonight. Xu Zeng, Xiao Lin, Xie Wenhao, Zhao Yuanguang, and Zhao Ruixu had known each other since their first year of university. They had been friends for almost three years. Other than Zhao Yuanguang who lived outside, the other four stayed in the school, so Xiao Lin and the others came together.
"Yuanguang, we've arrived at Ganwei Hall.”Xiao Lin hung up the phone." It's Yuanguang. He'll be here soon."”Xiao Lin said to Xu Zeng, Zhao Ruixu, and Xie Wenhao.
It was only around half-past six. Perhaps because the day was shorter, the sky had already darkened. Most of the restaurants that had recently opened across the street from the school relied on the resources of the students and had developed very quickly. Usually, Xiao Lin and the others would gather there for meals. It was close to the school, and it was safer to come back drunk. Secondly, the taste was okay, and the price was quite reasonable. The four of them were chatting and laughing together when they saw a figure walking towards them not far away.
" That should be Yuanguang," Zhao Ruixu waved his hand and shouted." Yuanguang is here."”
"You didn't wait for me for long, right? You took a shower before coming over today.”Zhao Yuanguang walked up to them and said," What do you guys think of this Gan Wei Tang? How about this one?"
"Last time, I had a friend's birthday at his house. It was indeed not bad.”Xie Wenhao agreed with Xu Zeng, but Xiao Lin and the other two didn't mind.
Ganwei Hall was located directly opposite the second bridge out of the school. It was considered relatively large among these restaurants. It mainly served Ganzhou cuisine and Hakka culture. From a distance, one could see its signboard. At the same time, Xie Wenhao and Zhao Yuanguang were both from Ganzhou, so they had feelings for their hometown.
"Boss, do you have a private room?”Xiao Lin asked as the five of them walked forward. The boss was a middle-aged man who looked rather fat and had a smile on his face.
"Excuse me, how many of you are there?" The boss looked up and said that there were quite a lot of customers in the lobby of the shop, and the business was good.
"There are only five of us. Can you do it?”Xu Zeng leaned forward with a northern accent.
The boss poked his head into the private room and agreed very straightforwardly," There's a big private room inside. It's for you guys!”
"Thank you, boss." Xie Wenhao said.
After passing through the hall, they walked in. This house had been renovated and was relatively clean and tidy. There were a total of three private rooms, two on the left and one on the right. The washroom was at the end of the path.
Xiao Lin's group of five entered the second private room on the left. The private room was relatively large. There were 15 chairs and seats arranged together, and it seemed very spacious. There was an air conditioner hanging on the wall, and there was a piece of glass on the table that could be rotated to make it easier to pick up food.
"Hello, this is the menu. What would you like to order?”Two waiters walked in, the one in front holding the menu. The waiter at the back brought over a teapot of water and placed it on the table.
Zhao Yuanguang took the menu from the waitress." Thank you. How about we bring it to the service desk after we order?"”The waitress nodded and gently closed the door.
"This time, it's my treat. In order to thank my brothers for helping me move, don't stand on ceremony.”Zhao Yuanguang passed the menu to Xiao Lin, who was sitting in the innermost seat.
Zhao Yuanguang was originally staying in the school, but he moved out of the school when the new semester started. This was also Zhao Yuanguang's second move. The first time he moved from the student dorms to the graduate student apartments, he had lived there for a year. However, due to the university's regulations, undergraduate students were not allowed to live in apartments, so he had to move out.
" Then I'll order a fish first." Xiao Lin flipped through the menu." This yellow-bone fish should be good. The color in the photo is very attractive."”After Xiao Lin finished writing, he handed the menu to Xu Zeng." Ah Zeng, you order."”
The room was a little stuffy, so Xiao Lin took off his coat. He took out a cigarette from inside. Actually, he didn't really know how to smoke. He had only started learning when he was in his second year. Perhaps it was because he had encountered a lot of things at that time, and although smoking was harmful, it could relieve his frustration in some situations.
However, it was because he was happy today. He took out two sticks and gave one to Xie Wenhao and one to Zhao Ruixu. She gave Xu Zeng another cigarette and lit it up for herself.
"How many bottles of wine should we get?" Zhao Yuanguang picked up the book with the names of the dishes." There are ten dishes and one soup. Is that enough?"”
"Why don't we get two bottles of white wine first? Five people isn't a lot. Last time, when Wenhao and Ruixu went to my house, all three of us drank a bottle. Moreover, Ah Zeng said that we would not go home until we were drunk today.”Xiao Lin said.
Last time, during the Qingming Festival, Xie Wenhao didn't go back to Ganzhou. He went to Xiao Lin's house with Zhao Ruixu because Xiao Lin's father, mother, sister, and brother-in-law were all in Yunnan.
"Is that so? I say, two bottles of white wine shouldn't be a problem for five men. That's all for now.”Xu Zeng agreed.
"Okay, Ruixu, come with me.”Zhao Yuanguang called Zhao Ruixu to the service desk.
"Wenhao, bring the teapot over. I'll wash the cups and chopsticks.”Xiao Lin tore off the plastic film, took out a cup, and poured water into it." Ah Zeng, bring yours too. I'll pour it for you."”
At this moment, Zhao Yuanguang and Zhao Ruixu came in with two bottles of white wine. One bottle was a fourth-grade white wine, and the other was an ancient wine.
" Ah Zeng, Jiangxi Site, ancient brew. Wait a minute, let me see." Zhao Yuanguang placed the Site on the table and looked at the introduction of the ancient brew's production area." Shandong, 52 degrees Celsius. What a coincidence. Does it represent the eternal friendship between the people of Shandong and Jiangxi?"”
"48% alcohol content for the Fourth Special Wine and 52% alcohol content for the Ancient Brew. No, you'll get drunk easily if you drink mixed wine.”Xu Zeng said.
"Nonsense. What's wrong? Who said that we won't go home until we're drunk?”Xiao Lin said to Xu Zeng.
Xie Wenhao opened the box of wine. It was a four-color white bottle." You all know that my alcohol tolerance is the worst. It's rare for everyone to be happy, so it doesn't matter."”Xie Wenhao fiddled with the wine for a while but didn't open the lid." Ruixu, you're an expert at drinking.”Xie Wenhao handed the wine to Zhao Ruixu, and he quickly removed the lid.
"Ah Zeng, Yuanguang, Xiao Lin, Wenhao, put your cups down and fill them up first.”Zhao Ruixu said as he arranged the five cups in a straight line. In comparison, it was obvious that Xiao Lin and Xu Zeng's cups were bigger.
"D * mn, why is Xiao Lin and my cup so much bigger than yours?”Xu Zeng said with a smile.
Ganwei Hall served the dishes quickly. After a while, they were served." Everyone, have some food first. As the host today, I will definitely accompany you until you are happy."”Zhao Yuanguang said.
After a while, Xiao Lin stood up and said," Ah Zeng, Wenhao, Ruixu, let's congratulate Yuanguang on his new house. Let's do it together."”
"Thank you, brothers. I'll drink half a cup.”Zhao Yuanguang finished half the glass in one gulp.
"Yuanguang, are you looking down on your brother? Slow down? I'll drink half a cup too.”As a Shandong native, Xu Zeng was always so heroic.
The taste of white wine was really bitter. Every time he drank white wine, Xiao Lin would frown unnaturally and quickly eat a few mouthfuls of food. Fortunately, the dishes here were not bad, and the smell of white wine was hidden in his stomach.
After everyone sat down, Zhao Yuanguang stood up with a cup in his hand and said,""I'm really touched by this move. I remember that during the two times we moved, the brothers all arrived. On the way back from home, Xiao Lin knew that I was moving, so he called me and said,'Yuanguang, when are you moving? Just send me a message in advance.'As for Wenhao, he and Xiao Lin waited at my place for more than two hours when they moved. Ah Zeng also rushed over from the TV station as soon as he answered the phone. Ruixu had just arrived at school and hadn't packed his things yet, but he came to help me first. A toast to all of you."
"Come, let's drink for brotherhood.”The atmosphere was very lively, and the air was filled with the fragrance of food and alcohol.
"Speaking of brotherhood, I want to give a toast to Xiao Lin alone. If it wasn't for Xiao Lin, the brothers wouldn't have been able to get together.”Zhao Ruixu said.
"Ruixu, we definitely have to drink the wine. After drinking, I want to say a few words.”After taking a sip, Xiao Lin's face started to feel hot." I'm very happy to be with you guys today. Thank you for accompanying me through three-quarters of my university life. I think the most important thing for us to be together is that we are on the same page. The four of you, Bai Bingying, and Yuan Yimeng.”Xiao Lin drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.
"Xiao Lin, don't be agitated. You drank too quickly.”Xie Wenhao advised Xiao Lin.
Xu Zeng waved his hand and said," Wenhao, this is your fault. It's rare for us to be happy. Look." Xu Zeng poured the cup over." Xiao Lin and I have already eaten our fill. Are you and Ruixu manly enough? Hurry up." Yuanguang, bring the wine over. Xiao Lin and I will fill it up. If it's not enough, bring another bottle.”
Zhao Ruixu, who was sitting by the door, opened it and said,""You guys drink. I'll go get it.”
Zhao Yuanguang picked up the ancient wine and poured it for Xiao Lin and Xu Zeng. "Wenhao, let's have a drink. Don't think too much about the matter between you and Xin Yi. Everything will be up to fate. Moreover, we are now separated from each other.”Xu Zeng said to Xie Wenhao.
Xie Wenhao and his girlfriend, Shen Xinyi, had been together since their first year of university. However, Shen Xinyi was sent to Japan to study in the first semester of his third year due to his parents 'expectations.
"I know. Come, drink." Xie Wenhao also raised his glass.
Zhao Ruixu put down the four-quality liquor in his hand and sat down. He said to Zhao Yuanguang,""Yuanguang, I dare to bet that the two of us were a family 500 years ago. Descendants of the Zhao family, let's do this for our family.”
"Yes, they're definitely the same family." Zhao Yuanguang stood up and clinked glasses with Zhao Ruixu.
Then, Xiao Lin got up and wanted to have a drink with Xie Wenhao and Xu Zeng." I remember that the three of us decided to go to Beijing to experience the hardships of drifting in Beijing last summer because of a 'Beijing Love Story'. This toast is for our brave hearts."”
"To a brave heart!"
After a while, Xiao Lin felt that his heart was burning, and the strong smell of white wine irritated his throat. He was worried that he might not be able to control himself, so he stood up and said,"Ah Zeng, excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom.”
Standing in the bathroom, he looked at the glass mirror on the wall. In the mirror, he was red from his forehead to his neck. His eyes were bloodshot and covered in red lines. There were also red spots on his hands. This was a common reaction. It would happen every time Xiao Lin drank. She bent down and lay on the sink. Her stomach was churning, and she couldn't control it. She squatted beside the toilet and vomited.
Xu Zeng knocked on the door outside the bathroom." Xiao Lin, how is it? Is there anything wrong?"”
"It'll be fine in a while. Wait a moment." Xiao Lin straightened his back, turned on the tap, and splashed cold water on his face a few times. He felt much more comfortable and his mind was clearer.
"Brother Lin, can you still drink it? If not, I'll help you drink it.”Xu Zeng joked outside.
Xiao Lin opened the door and walked out." Bullsh * t, there's still a little wine left. Just drink it in one gulp."”
When Xiao Lin and Xu Zeng returned to the private room, Zhao Ruixu was crying while hugging Xie Wenhao. Xiao Lin and the others looked on in surprise. It was probably the effect of the alcohol that allowed Zhao Ruixu to release the emotions he had suppressed in his heart. It was also considered a true expression.
Zhao Yuanguang smiled when he saw Xiao Lin and the others enter.""She was hugging me and crying just now."
Zhao Ruixu raised his head to look at Xu Zeng, then came over to hug Xu Zeng, and then hugged Xiao Lin.
He suddenly let go of Xiao Lin and said,"Brothers, you all know what I want to say, so I won't say it."”Zhao Ruixu drank half the glass in one gulp.
Xie Wenhao stood up, shaking a little." I'm not good with words, but no matter what you have to do, I'll definitely go. "Also, if I get married in the future, all of you will come. If I don't go to your wedding, you can pretend that I'm not your brother. I'll do it.”
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin felt a warm current flowing through his heart. He also felt that it was very interesting. Xie Wenhao usually didn't show his feelings, even in front of his brothers. He didn't expect that after drinking, he would even think about marriage.
On the way back to school after drinking, the few of them were even more "ugly" and quite funny. When he formally " bade farewell " to his boss, his boss seemed to feel flattered. Xiao Lin kept thanking the boss, and Zhao Yuanguang kept bowing to the boss. However, at this moment, he realized that Xu Zeng, Zhao Ruixu, and Xie Wenhao had disappeared. It turned out that Xu Zeng and Zhao Ruixu were running in the direction of the school while Xie Wenhao was chasing after them.
When they reached the school swimming pool, Xu Zeng collapsed and couldn't move no matter how hard they tried. At the same time, he was spewing English. It was unbelievable that he had not passed CET-6. Zhao Ruixu was even worse. He hugged a tree and refused to leave, crying and shouting.
On the way back, Xiao Lin had vomited several times. Fortunately, Xie Wenhao was still relatively clear-headed, so he went to pull another one. In the end, one of them did not get up, and the other went back to hugging the tree. Zhao Yuanguang ran to the school gate and called for a tricycle. It was still quite a distance away from the dormitory, and it was starting to drizzle. He was worried that Xu Zeng and Zhao Ruixu would catch a cold.
Xiao Lin thought that Zhao Yuanguang was still conscious, but what happened next proved him wrong. The driver said that the fare was at least 15 yuan, and Zhao Yuanguang bargained,""Master, a little less, a little less." The driver said that it was already the lowest price, but Zhao Yuanguang didn't give up.""It's one yuan less. Hahaha, it's only fourteen yuan.”Xiao Lin found it amusing.
In the end, with the help of the tricycle, Xu Zeng and Zhao Ruixu were finally brought back to the dormitory. Xie Wenhao went straight to bed the moment he arrived, and Zhao Yuanguang went back as well. Although Xiao Lin lay on the bed later, he was so excited that he fell asleep very late.
Xiao Lin thought that three years had passed since he entered university, and the rest of his time would eventually pass. Although he had gone through a lot of hardships, he had also grown up a lot. He believed that his brothers would be happy in the end.
