Chapter 114 Special Gathering
Qin Muxue really wanted to go over, but in the end, she forcibly held back her steps, reluctantly returning to her own room.
That annoying Zhang Tingting, once I catch up to her, I’ll give her a beating.
Two days later, it was the weekend.
“A gathering?” Lin Beixiu looked at the few people in front of him and asked in confusion.
Hu Feng nodded, “Yeah, it’s the start of the school year, so a few of us from the dorm are getting together. There’s a new roast duck restaurant opened on the commercial street, let’s go try it out.”
Why were they so fond of gatherings?
Lin Beixiu helplessly said, “Alright, I’ll go.”
Hu Feng and the others exchanged glances, revealing a triumphant smile.
“Then it’s settled. Oh, by the way, bring sister-in-law Bei along, the more the merrier.”
Lin Beixiu casually nodded, looking towards Qin Muxue standing in the corridor, unsure if she would come or not.
After class, Lin Beixiu said to Qin Muxue beside him, “Hu Feng and the others invited us to a gathering for dinner, will you come?”
“Of course, why wouldn’t I come.” Qin Muxue’s eyes flickered with a strange light, and Lin Beixiu couldn’t help but feel that she was a bit excited.
“Okay.”
After class.
Qin Muxue followed beside him, “Where are we going? Did they say?”
“They said it’s a new roast duck restaurant, and they want to try it out.”
Qin Muxue smiled, “Oh, I really want to try it.”
Lin Beixiu watched her walk ahead, feeling the emptiness in his hand, and finally spoke up.
“Muxue.”
“Yes?” Qin Muxue turned around, seeing Lin Beixiu walking towards her with a determined look.
Then, in Qin Muxue’s shocked eyes, he took her hand and led her forward.
Qin Muxue: ???
Did the sun rise from the north?
At that moment, Qin Muxue’s brain seemed to stop working, being led by Lin Beixiu in a daze, looking a bit cute.
“What are you doing?”
“Nothing, taking you to the market to buy groceries, afraid you’ll get lost.”
Lin Beixiu didn’t even believe his own words, his eyes evading, and his voice getting smaller towards the end.
But Qin Muxue believed it, smiling and feeling very pleased.
“Then… thank you, Little Bei.”
Lin Beixiu also smiled, as long as she believed, it was enough.
The two of them continued to walk hand in hand, just like before.
On the weekend, around seven in the evening.
The two of them at home, tidied up a bit and were ready to go out.
“Hurry up, what are you doing again?”
“Coming,” Qin Muxue’s voice came from the room.
A minute later, Qin Muxue came out of the room, and Lin Beixiu looked at her in a daze.
Qin Muxue was wearing loose black pants and a brown long shirt, with a high ponytail at the back of her head.
Lin Beixiu felt the familiar aura of her high and cold demeanor from when they first met, no longer the innocent and cute image from before, but now a high and cold mature woman.
“Let’s go.”
“Oh, okay.”
Walking ahead, recalling Lin Beixiu’s dazed expression just now, the corners of her mouth slowly lifted.
Tonight was indeed a special night.
The two of them arrived at the roast duck restaurant, which had a traditional Chinese style. There were red lanterns hanging on both sides of the entrance, and in the middle of the lobby, there was a huge wishing pool with several beautiful carp swimming inside.
Lin Beixiu reserved a private room, and the waiter led them to the second floor.
“Brother Lin, sister-in-law Bei, you’re here, we’ve been waiting for you.”
In the private room, Hu Feng and his dorm mates were all there, along with Zhang Tingting.
Seeing Zhang Tingting here was unexpected for Lin Beixiu, but Qin Muxue wasn’t surprised.
Zhang Tingting raised her eyebrows at Qin Muxue and smiled.
“Alright, everyone’s here, let’s start serving the dishes.”
The group chatted amiably, with Qin Muxue and Zhang Tingting sitting together, talking about something.
Curious, Lin Beixiu leaned over to Hu Feng, “What’s going on, why is Senior Zhang here?”
“Oh, I brought her along.”
Lin Beixiu’s expression was strange at the news, and even Hu Feng looked a bit embarrassed.
“Ahem, don’t look at me like that.”
Lin Beixiu didn’t care much, just waited quietly.
Soon, the waiter started serving the dishes. Although their specialty was roast duck, the other dishes were also delicious, and everyone enjoyed the meal.
“Sister-in-law Bei, are you not eating much? You should eat more.”
Qin Muxue smiled and replied, “It’s okay, I’ve eaten.”
“Do you want to drink? Should I ask them to bring some?”
The dorm mates who could drink all agreed, and Lin Beixiu, subconsciously, looked at Qin Muxue.
Qin Muxue noticed his gaze and nodded with a smile.
“If you want to drink, then drink.”
Lin Beixiu was puzzled, “Really?”
Zhang Tingting teased from the side, “Oh, why are you so strict with your boyfriend.”
Lin Beixiu blushed and lowered his head, feeling embarrassed.
The guys also joined in, “Lin Beixiu, you can’t back down, you have to man up.”
Qin Muxue was fine, but Lin Beixiu’s ears were burning, eating with his head down.
Qin Muxue spoke up, “Alright, stop it, Iām not that strict. It’s not good to drink too much.”
“Hiss~”
Even though they were eating roast duck, why did it taste so sour, like lemon?
Oh, it turns out I’m the sour one.
When the drinks arrived, Hu Feng also poured one for himself.
“Since that’s the case, let’s not go overboard with the drinking, just a few casual drinks.”
Even Qin Muxue had a can.
Zhang Tingting was surprised, “Sister, when did you learn to drink?”
“What does it taste like? Let me try?”
Qin Muxue handed her a glass, “Are you sure? It’s not that good.”
Zhang Tingting took a sip and frowned, “It’s bad.”
Qin Muxue chuckled, “My first time drinking was the same.”
“Forget it, I’ll stick to juice.”
Qin Muxue looked at the garlic lobster on the table, reminiscing about when Lin Beixiu peeled shrimp for her earlier, feeling a bit nostalgic.
She picked up a few small lobsters for herself and started peeling them.
Hu Feng nudged Lin Beixiu, “Stop drinking, go peel shrimp for your wife.”
Then Hu Feng turned to Zhang Tingting, “Senior, are you eating? Don’t just chat.”
“Oh, okay.”
Lin Beixiu turned to look at Qin Muxue beside him, seeing her peeling shrimp, he put on gloves and started peeling as well.
Qin Muxue was focused on eating, and suddenly found a bowl of peeled small lobsters in front of her.
“Thank you.”
Lin Beixiu frowned, not knowing what to say, so he just turned his head and made a sound of acknowledgment.
Qin Muxue knew he was angry, but it wasn’t the right time to address it.
“Cheers?”
Qin Muxue raised her glass, and Lin Beixiu casually clinked glasses with her.
Qin Muxue smiled and didn’t mind, taking a sip.
As the night went on, more bottles and cans appeared on the table.
“I’ll go to the restroom.”
Lin Beixiu stood up, feeling a bit floaty, damn, they were taking turns to drink with him, even a drunkard couldn’t handle it.
