Chapter 47: Qin Xue Wants to Get Lu Chi Drunk

~7 min read 1,217 words

Qin Xue was just being polite; her monthly pocket money was only that little.

If it weren't for Lu Chi, she basically couldn't come to this kind of restaurant to eat.

Lu Chi didn't intend to let Qin Xue pay; he glanced at Zhou Xian opposite and said, "Since we're out, there's no reason to let a girl pay; I'll treat you."

Seeing Lu Chi rushing to give Qin Xue money, Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but secretly laugh.

I've never seen anyone rushing to give someone money like that.

This is really fun.

Lu Chi noticed that Su Yun Jiao in front of him had been holding back laughter.

Having grown up together, he could tell at a glance what kind of fart Su Yun Jiao was holding in.

Seeing Su Yun Jiao about to burst out laughing, he furrowed his brow and asked, "How come? I'm treating Qin Xue—are you happy?"

"Of course."

Someone is acting like a big fool, so of course she's happy.

"Class monitor, let's order."

"Okay."

Zhou Xian said, "Your health is poor, so what you can eat is limited; I'll help you order."

"Okay!"

Su Yun Jiao's well-behaved appearance made Lu Chi somewhat uncomfortable.

How come she's so obedient in front of Zhou Xian?

In front of him she just knows how to act dumb.

Lu Chi deliberately sneered, "How would I not know Su Yun Jiao's health is bad? I see she's very healthy—strong enough to eat an ox."

"Su Yun Jiao only looks energetic on the surface, but her body actually has serious problems; if not adjusted in time while she's young, it will cause severe consequences later."

Zhou Xian was serious about this, which instead made Lu Chi frown: "Why exactly is Su Yun Jiao's health bad? All these years she's lived at my house, and my mother has treated her with utmost care."

Over these years, my mother has been better to Su Yun Jiao than to me.

Every day they serve her mountain delicacies and seafood.

Not even my own biological son gets this treatment.

"Is it even the case that your mother personally prepares all the food?"

Zhou Xian asked this question out of the blue, making Lu Chi involuntarily frown: "What do you mean by asking that? Of course it's my mother who personally prepares it; my mother treats Su Yun Jiao better than she treats me, her own son."

Lu Chi's answer left Zhou Xian silent.

Su Yun Jiao, fearing Zhou Xian's suspicion, immediately said beside him: "Yeah, yeah, Aunt Lu treats me really well; let's just order first."

Upon hearing that, Zhou Xian then began to order for Su Yun Jiao.

But Zhou Xian's reaction made Lu Chi reassess his mother's attitude toward Su Yun Jiao.

Zhou Xian comes from a medical family; having been exposed to medicine since childhood, his medical skills may not be the most professional, but they are somewhat credible.

He would never say such things recklessly.

Could it be… that Su Yun Jiao's health is really bad?

Is it the food my mother gives Su Yun Jiao that's causing this?

No, impossible.

My mother treats Su Yun Jiao so well; how could she possibly harm her health?

There must be some misunderstanding here.

What they ordered for Su Yun Jiao were things like burgers, nothing fried, but fearing she wouldn't eat well, Zhou Xian also ordered some fruit and vegetable juices and steak.

Lu Chi was quite good to Qin Xue; he directly let her order herself, and as for the cost he didn't care at all.

All he needed was to outshine Zhou Xian in presence.

While eating, Qin Xue couldn't help but look at Su Yun Jiao opposite and said: "JiaoJiao, anyway we're already here; after we finish eating let's play a while here—this restaurant has lots of fun stuff, it'd be a shame not to play."

Qin Xue originally planned to confirm her relationship with Lu Chi today at this place.

Having Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian here would be better; later they could even give them assistance.

"Perfect, then let's stay and play together; anyway it's already this late, you probably couldn't study even if you wanted to."

Lu Chi, both in and between his words, was unwilling to let Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian leave.

It's already past eight o'clock; if they leave now, who knows what might happen later?

Su Yun Jiao looked at Zhou Xian beside her and asked: "Class monitor, do you want to stay and play?"

"I can."

Seeing Zhou Xian agree, Qin Xue eagerly looked at Su Yun Jiao beside her and said: "JiaoJiao, since the class monitor has already stayed, let's all play together."

Su Yun Jiao isn't stupid either; she knows Qin Xue's target tonight is Lu Chi, after all, according to her past life's trajectory, by this time Qin Xue and Lu Chi would already have been together at Qin Xue's birthday banquet.

Qin Xue's anxiety is also understandable.

"Since the class monitor has already stayed, I'll join you in playing, but… I won't play any drinking games."

Su Yun Jiao directly threw the comment to Qin Xue.

Qin Xue said: "No problem, this drinking game is easy to pick up; I'll teach you all, and we'll play together."

Upon hearing that, Su Yun Jiao deliberately said: "I didn't expect you, Qin Xue, to play drinking games; have you played many times before? It's really hard to tell."

Drinking games aren't something you can learn just anywhere.

Unless you frequently go in and out of such places, you won't pick it up by osmosis.

Su Yun Jiao's words caused a hint of panic to appear on Qin Xue's face.

She had been single-mindedly wanting to play drinking games with Lu Chi, but then forgot her image in Lu Chi's mind.

Qin Xue, feeling a bit embarrassed, fiddled with her hair and said: "I—I learned it from a friend before; I'm not that kind of loose girl, JiaoJiao, please don't misunderstand."

Nothing much, there are lots of girls who go to nightclubs and bars, and not all of them are immoral; everyone's just there to have fun and make friends, it's understandable.

Su Yun Jiao's casual remark only made Qin Xue even harder to explain.

It's as if she deliberately lied, afraid that Lu Chi would find out.

"Xiao Xue is a well-behaved girl; she never goes to places like this. Stop judging her with your petty mind."

Lu Chi has always been protecting Qin Xue.

Su Yun Jiao didn't care either; go ahead and protect her, but Qin Xue never speaks a word of truth.

"Let's all learn together with me; it's easy to pick up."

Just then, the waiter nearby brought over a wine barrel filled entirely with mixed alcohol and drinks.

As soon as the wine barrel was brought up, Su Yun Jiao smelled the pungent whiskey—clearly a low-quality mix.

Coke whiskey, Red Bull vodka.

Quite the choice.

Su Yun Jiao covered her nose, already thinking of how to get away later.

Drink this stuff and you'll surely have a headache tomorrow.

Can't let Qin Xue keep pouring drinks for me.

Su Yun Jiao said to Zhou Xian beside her: "Class monitor, I'd like a low-alcohol cocktail, preferably sweet."
