Chapter 268: Chapter 267: An All-Night Drinking Party

After lunch, as Lin Siyin and two others met with Xie Da successfully, they all turned their heads away under Xie Da’s resentful gaze.

"You took over an hour just for a meal? What kind of meal were you guys having?"

In the scorching summer, Xie Da, who had waited for more than an hour, complained bitterly with a face full of resentment.

"This... this isn’t... um..."

Li Mengling’s eyes darted around before she offered a sheepish smile, "It’s just that the restaurant was really slow with the service. We did call you, but you said you had eaten and wouldn’t come..."

As she continued, Li Mengling’s voice grew fainter until it was barely audible.

She could no longer continue, subdued by Xie Da’s gaze, which was like that of an aggrieved young bride.

"Did I say I wouldn’t come? I hadn’t even finished speaking when you abruptly hung up the phone on me; how could anyone stand that?"

Xie Da said in annoyance, looking at Li Mengling: "After that, when I called back, not one of you answered; all three of you ignored my calls—how could anyone stand that?"

Hearing this, Lu Zixun gave a light cough and said somewhat awkwardly, "The signal wasn’t great there; we couldn’t do much about it. You should’ve used vv."

Seeing that this matter was about to become a hopeless mess, Ming Yang grinned sheepishly and quickly changed the topic,

"Lemon, there’s an eSports competition in Lingchuan City in a few days. How about we form a team and join?"

"An eSports competition?"

Xie Da, successfully distracted, asked with a raised eyebrow, "Online or offline? When is it being held?"

"It’s an offline event, but I can figure out a way to let our team participate online; it’s terribly hot, competing at the venue would be even hotter."

Ming Yang thought for a moment and continued, "Today is the last day to sign up; the preliminaries start tomorrow. If it’s okay, I’ll go register us."

"Sure, that works."

Taking the tickets and giving them a look, Xie Da urged everyone toward the ticket checkpoint, "Hurry up, if we don’t get in now, there’ll soon be a huge line—five minutes of fun and two hours of waiting isn’t a joke."

Night fell.

The "man-made" aurora in the water park spread across the sky.

Lu Zixun, sitting on the Ferris wheel and leaning over the railing, gazed at the sky, considering bringing Lin Siyin here the next night.

"Hey, hey, I just realized that our meeting was quite magical."

Li Mengling, who was admiring the aurora, suddenly turned and said with a smile.

Attracted by her words, everyone turned their heads toward Li Mengling.

Xie Da chuckled, "It seems like that, doesn’t it? Even though it’s our first meeting, it feels like we’ve known each other for many years. It’s indeed quite magical."

Casting a sidelong glance at Ming Yang, Lu Zixun sighed, "No matter how magical, if you guys play poorly, I’m still going to scold."

The sentimental atmosphere was broken as everyone burst out laughing upon hearing Lu Zixun’s comment.

"No problem, you scold me, and I’ll just drag you down in return. It’s not a big deal."

Lifting his hand to his chin, Ming Yang smirked, "After all, you have the highest score, so if I drag you down, I gain."

"I’m going to kill you!"

Lu Zixun moved closer to Ming Yang and patted his thigh.

Wincing in pain, Ming Yang pinched Lu Zixun’s ear.

The scene of the two squabbling, observed by Li Mengling and Xie Da sharing a glance, reflected an expression of feigned annoyance.

What often happened in the game, these major variety emotional dramas, was finally taking place in reality.

Back at the hotel, Lu Zixun, who was just about to go wash up and sleep, was abruptly grabbed by Li Mengling: "Mr. Cat, didn’t we agree to drink all night today? Are you trying to bail?"

Hearing this, Lu Zixun gave a sheepish smile and lifted his head, "I’m just going for a shower; I’ll be back to give you a proper lesson and show you why they call me the ’Lingchuan Little Wine God!’"

"You can also shower in the ’Beef Steak’ room, why go far when you can stay close?"

The corners of her mouth tilted slightly upward, and Li Mengling smiled sweetly, "Or should we say that Mr. Cat, who can headshot with a 98k even with his eyes closed, actually chickened out today?"

"There’s no word for ’chicken out’ in Mr. Cat’s dictionary!"

Patting Li Mengling’s hand, Lu Zixun landed on the ground, and turning his head, he smiled at Li Mengling, "It’s all from the heart!"

"Whoosh."

Under Li Mengling’s stunned expression, Lu Zixun had already dashed into the elevator, waving at Li Mengling, "Take care, I’ll come back later."

"Ah! Mr. Cat!"

Realizing what had happened, Li Mengling, puffed up with anger, ran to the elevator door, but alas, it was a step too late.

Standing in front of the closed elevator door, Li Mengling’s cheeks puffed up.

She pouted and stomped her foot hard, then pulled out her phone to send a message to Lu Zixun, "If you don’t come over later, I’m blocking you as a warning!"

"Hmph."

She put away her phone and snorted disdainfully.

Just as Li Mengling was about to head back the same way to Ming Yang’s room, an elderly man with a head full of white hair and eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life appeared in front of Li Mengling.

"Eh? Uncle Guan?"

After calling out to the old man in front of her, Li Mengling affectionately ran over to Uncle Guan’s side and linked arms with him, her voice filled with a touch of surprise, "What brings you here?"

"Miss."

Looking at Li Mengling with adoring eyes, Uncle Guan gently smiled and said, "Someone from the family had reserved a Soul-devouring Grass, and I just finished delivering it, so I thought I’d come and see you."

"Soul-devouring Grass?"

Hearing this, Li Mengling frowned, "This thing hasn’t been needed for a long time, what does this person want with Soul-devouring Grass?"

"I’m not sure about that, but it wasn’t purchased, it was given as a gift because this person’s friend had once helped our family."

Uncle Guan patted the back of Li Mengling’s hand, changing the subject as he spoke, "Miss, have you been enjoying yourself these past few days? Would you like to go back with me?"

"No, no."

After shaking her head and letting go of Uncle Guan’s arm, Li Mengling took two steps back and stuck out her tongue, "I haven’t had enough fun yet, and besides, I have a competition to attend in a few days, so I won’t go back with you."

"You little rascal."

Pointing a finger at Li Mengling, Uncle Guan looked helpless, "Not going back is not going back, but why run off so fast? Are you afraid this old man will drag you back?"

"Isn’t that always the case?"

Muttering quietly, Li Mengling waved at Uncle Guan, "Alright, Uncle Guan, goodbye. You better get some rest. I’m going to find my friends!"

"Be careful out there and don’t reveal your identity..."

"Bang!"

"Identity."

Before Uncle Guan could finish, Li Mengling, like a rabbit, darted into Ming Yang’s room and slammed the door shut.

With the last word dissipating in his mouth, Uncle Guan smiled and shook his head.

He stroked his snow-white beard and headed to his own room.

He looked at the young miss he had watched grow up; now she also had her own circle of life.

...

"Mr. Cat said he doesn’t chicken out, so open up!"

Knocking on the door, Lu Zixun stood at the doorway with a challenging expression.

Behind him, Xiong Kang followed with his arms crossed and a smile on his lips.
