Chapter 249: Chapter 187: Farewell Drink_3

"I swiped it from the kitchen," Lin Mengran said with a mischievous grin, "They think they’ve hidden it well, huh, but how could they fool me?" While speaking, she gestured for everyone to take out their teacups.

"I can’t drink alcohol," Zhang Erniu said, holding her teacup, her face full of discomfort.

"What do you mean you can’t drink?" Lin Mengran raised an eyebrow, "Just pour it into your mouth, hold your breath and swallow. After drinking this cup, everyone must remember when we step out the door, we’re from Squad Three. No matter where we go, we can’t disgrace Squad Three!"

As she spoke, she also patted Yuan Mengmeng, "Did you hear that? You’re the biggest troublemaker in the whole squad. Remember, if I find out you’ve disgraced Squad Three or helped outsiders against our sisters, don’t blame me for being inhospitable."

We’ve been together for so long, yet no one knows what my family does. Today, I’ll reveal my family background; my family has practiced martial arts for generations. When you talk about the Lin Family of Northern Xiang, you’re talking about us!"

Qiao Ningyi drew in a sharp breath, "You mean the Lin Family that wiped out a platoon of enemy soldiers with just ten people?"

"Exactly! My grandfather’s nickname was Ghost Sees Sorrow!"

"Pfft!"

Zhang Erniu blushed and waved her hands, "I didn’t do it on purpose. We have a guy called Er Lai in our village, and people call him Ghost Sees Sorrow too."

"You little rascal!" Lin Mengran slapped her, "My grandfather’s nickname means that the enemy soldiers were terrified of him, which is completely different from that Ghost Sees Sorrow from your village."

"I know, I know," Zhang Erniu nodded admiringly, "No wonder you’re so fast. Now I get it."

Sun Shangmei came over with her cup, "I admire heroes the most. Lin Mengran, let’s have a drink."

"Let’s do it!" Lin Mengran heartily emptied the alcohol from her teacup, poured herself another, and teasingly said to everyone, "Tonight, anyone who doesn’t drink is showing disrespect to the sisters, and from then on, they’ll be out of Squad Three’s circle."

With that said, even Yuan Mengmeng, who had been acting haughty, and Qi Jihong quickly reached out for their cups—Yang Xiaoli had already drunk, could they dare not to?

With alcohol and singing, this night became the liveliest since they’d enlisted.

None of them knew how to drink, and in no time at all, their little faces turned red, their words flowing more freely than usual. Even Yuan Mengmeng, who was always so contrary, went up and hugged Chuxia around the neck: "Lin Chuxia, I’m telling you, although I make fun of you, it’s because I genuinely care about you. You say you’re from the countryside, and your family isn’t wealthy, plus your health isn’t good. Why don’t you think more about yourself, more about your family?"

"Being a doctor is great, but have you thought about how much effort it takes to do well and make your parents’ lives better? Joining the entertainment troop is different. You have a decent voice, can play instruments, and you look okay. In no more than two years, you could be the star performer!

Do you understand what a star performer is? That means the show can go on without anyone but you. By that time, if you want a suite and to bring your parents over, it won’t be difficult at all!

You fool, a fool who doesn’t understand anything, such a great opportunity wasted just like that. If I had that kind of chance, I’d definitely seize it. Hmph, I am jealous of you, but Yuan Mengmeng—I say what’s on my mind and never pull any tricks behind people’s backs!"

"You don’t pull tricks?" Sun Shangmei came forward and patted her, "You may not pull tricks, but you do love to tattle. Here’s some friendly advice: once you’re out that door, no one will coddle you. Change your bad temper, otherwise, within three days, you’ll feel so isolated you’ll wish you were dead!"

"Drunk words are true ones, eh!" Lin Mengran laughed and slapped Qiao Ningyi on the back, "Squad Leader, do you know why I stole the alcohol? Three months of camaraderie isn’t deep enough! I’m afraid we’ll part ways and forget these bonds..."

Qiao Ningyi looped an arm around her neck in response, "If you care so much about these bonds, why don’t you socialize more regularly?"

"Observation!" Lin Mengran lifted her head proudly, "I’ve been observing everyone to see if the members of Squad Three are worth my friendship. Tell me, who do you think will be the most successful in our squad in the future, dare to guess?"

Qiao Ningyi smiled softly, "You’re not going to tell me it’s you, are you?"

"Of course it’s me!" Lin Mengran pointed at her own forehead, "I am the best, it’s a must." Having said that, she collapsed onto the bed with a "gulping" sound and began to snore loudly.

Qu Xiaojing smiled apologetically at everyone: "That’s just the way she is, she changes when she drinks. Once she falls asleep like this, she’ll probably be out until dawn. Everyone should also get some rest early."

Qiao Ningyi poked Lin Mengran hard once, then again, but the other woman slept like a log, not moving at all. She turned to Qu Xiaojing, speechless, "I’m only concerned about one thing—will she remember her drunken words tomorrow?"
