Chapter 184 Full Name (First Update!)

Lin Jiang drank quite a bit, even though she's not someone who drinks regularly.

After all, he doesn't need to be idle or have no one to keep him company, so he drinks alone and gets himself drunk every night.

But that doesn't mean she can't drink it.

I may have inherited this trait from my mother. I remember my mother as a very strong-willed person. When dealing with friends and leaders, she would often become the one in charge.

Even her own father couldn't drink anymore, and it was often she who would take the glass of baijiu and start toasting. She had witnessed her father getting completely drunk many times, even vomiting before he even got home. But none of this ever happened to her mother, so much so that people who knew her later were hesitant to actually challenge her to a drinking contest. This had created a rather intimidating reputation for her.

However, I drank a bit too fast just now, after all, I can't lose to that charming woman who is no longer by my side.

The obvious dizziness and the feeling of bloating in her stomach were telling her that she couldn't drink anymore and needed to take a break.

Lulu looked over with concern, "Jiang Jiang, are you alright?"

Lin Jiang shook her head, still somewhat lucid, not to the point of blacking out when she closed her eyes.

"It's alright, don't worry too much about me."

Lulu said helplessly, "I shouldn't have let you drink so much. You might not be able to come to my wedding tomorrow."

"How could that be? My alcohol tolerance isn't that low. I just drank a little too fast. I'll be fine after a while."

"So why did you drink so fast? You two even had a one-on-one fight! Goodness, you almost scared me to death, I couldn't stop you."

Lulu seemed to still be a little shaken.

"Haha, what are you afraid of? We're all adults and know our limits."

"Who says adults have a sense of proportion? Quite a few people have gotten into trouble for drinking too much. I originally thought it was just a fun get-together, and I didn't expect to drink this much. Hey, don't drink any more later."

"I know I'm right, why haven't they come back yet?"

Lin Jiang glanced at the doorway every now and then and asked softly. She probably wouldn't normally ask such a direct question, but now, perhaps due to the alcohol, she felt less hesitant.

Perhaps it was because I couldn't suppress the strange feeling in my heart.

The two people who went to the restroom one after the other haven't returned yet. What happened?
Lulu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it should be fine. After all, Gu Huai is here too. He's probably waiting for Yan Yan to come along, afraid she'll drink too much. Gu Huai will handle anything that happens."

Hearing Lulu say that, Lin Jiang looked at her with some surprise.

"Does Gu Huai make you feel so at ease?"

Lulu thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, I don't know how to say it. You don't know, Gu Huai used to be a very ordinary person. He was the kind of boy you only realized there was such a person in your class when you saw him."

"So exaggerated?"

"Really, I'm not exaggerating at all. But later, there were some things I don't remember very clearly. I just suddenly realized one day that this guy always managed to do some unexpected things. Especially during Yan Yan's birthday party in high school, one of us got into trouble, and everyone came to the private room. At that time, no one could do anything but hope to avoid getting involved. But I didn't expect Gu Huai to be so amazing. He not only protected Yan Yan, but also managed to stall until the staff arrived, and he himself wasn't seriously injured."

Hearing these things she didn't know, Lin Jiang's eyes widened slightly.

He never told me that.

"Are you two in a relationship where you can tell each other anything?"

"Oh, no. I just thought I knew him pretty well."

Lulu playfully clung to Lin Jiang's arm, laughing, "Men aren't so easy to understand, you know. Sometimes the more harmless they seem, the deeper they're hiding. Of course, I'm not being sarcastic about Gu Huai. He's a different type of man; the more you understand him, the more surprises he'll bring. I think that's probably why Yan Yan can't forget him, even in the Demon Realm."

"Huh? What Shanghai?"

Lin Jiang asked curiously.

Lulu quickly shook her head, then quickly adjusted her expression and looked at Lin Jiang with a smile.

"By the way, have you been in contact with Gu Huai all along, or did you only recently reconnect?"

Lin Jiang looked at the other person strangely, "Why are you asking this? We only recently got in touch, you might not believe it."

"Don't believe in what?"

"We reconnected because of a blind date."

"A blind date? You don't need a blind date, do you? Wait, it's not what I'm thinking, you're not actually going there for him, are you?"

Lulu seemed to have discovered something incredible, and looked at Lin Jiang with wide eyes.

Lin Jiang simply smiled without saying a word. In the adult world, there is an unspoken rule: sometimes not responding is already a response.

Lulu suddenly covered her forehead in annoyance, "Ugh, this is so troublesome, is he really that likable?"

"What are you talking about?" Lin Jiang seemed not to understand the other person's troubles.

Lulu shook her head and sincerely grasped Lin Jiang's hands.

"Yan Yan is also a very good friend of mine, a dearest friend I absolutely cannot lose, so promise me, no matter what happens, please don't fight, okay?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not that kind of rude and unreasonable person."

"It's hard to say. Women are easily blinded by love."

"What do you mean by blindly?"

"without"

Just then, several of Lin Jiang and Lulu's mutual classmates came over.

"Hey, why didn't I hear Lin Banhua sing today?"

"Yeah, Lin Jiang, aren't you a musician? Why don't you sing a song?"

"Lin, the class beauty, is amazing! I even found a video of her playing a competition online. She plays so elegantly!"

Why are you searching for other people's videos?

"What's it to you! That's the important thing."

"Hahahahaha."

Lulu breathed a sigh of relief at the sudden banter from these people, and also teased Lin Jiang beside her.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about that. Come on, Teacher Lin, why don't you show off your singing voice? Sing a song to celebrate my wedding."

Although curious as to why the two hadn't arrived yet, Lin Jiang couldn't refuse the bride's invitation, and singing wasn't a difficult task for her. The reason she rarely sang in such settings was simply that she didn't want to steal the spotlight or attract unnecessary attention.

But now I can only get up.

She thought for a moment, then selected the song "Full Name".

"They're starting with something this difficult?"

"Damn, it seems like we don't need to sing the rest." Someone had already predicted this. Lulu smiled and looked at Lin Jiang, "It's my favorite song!"

I sang it because I knew you liked it.

Lin Jiang said with a smile.

Holding the microphone and looking at the screen, his instinctive intuition for music allows him to get into the zone faster than anyone else.

It was as if he switched to a fighting expression in an instant, his face becoming serious.

"If you're still clinging to the prelude to that love song from 2007, it's really not right. You should let go and move on."

The existence of certain things can indeed make people temporarily forget everything.

The environment they were in, the tasks they had to do, and the difference in their status.

Gu Huai truly never expected that his first intimate encounter with a woman would happen on such a strange night, and with someone of Cai Yan's stature.

It felt like winning the highest prize on the very first draw.

On your very first draw, you got the rarest card in the entire server—a character that countless people dream of but can never obtain.

Looking back on my life, it seems that none of my few victories can compare to this moment.

They forgot their past inferiority complexes and discarded those heavy burdens.

Now all you need to do is feel it.

It was as if a parched desert had finally received precious rain, and all the gods in this world seemed to have become insignificant.

What you are embracing tightly at this moment is your own temple.

Of course, Gu Huai also knew that such situations were not common and could not be considered a regular occurrence.

But that's precisely why this hug is so important.

"call"

at last.

The woman couldn't help but grab Gu Huai's shoulders, using this strength to break the dangerous atmosphere that would have been quite perilous if things continued this way.

Everything came to an abrupt end, just like a wonderful game that could have continued, a grand drama that had only just begun, suddenly stopped halfway through.

What remains is an endless space for imagination.

It's a bit of a shame, though, that Gu Huai belatedly realized that the parts of him he couldn't control had already triggered the highest level of alarm.

Gu Huai knew, of course, that once it was over, it was over. His simulation system wasn't portable, and he couldn't choose the time.

Even if it's worth reliving, there's no chance to do it again. But some things are precious enough just to appear in your life. No one knows how to cherish things better than yourself. Only after experiencing enough hardship will you understand that every moment of happiness is fleeting, more dazzling than a diamond.

Looking at Cai Yan, who was fixing her hair and clothes in front of him, Gu Huai suddenly didn't know how to start a conversation.

What should I say? Should I take the initiative to smooth things over by saying that they were just drunk and nothing happened, or should I let them decide for themselves?

After all, the choice should be left to her in this situation.

"You're so lewd. You can't control your hands, can you? Who gave you permission to touch them like that?"

Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little helpless, like a good student who had been caught making a mistake by the teacher.

I didn't start any of this, so why am I crying wolf?

"I have nowhere to put my hands."

"Didn't you know to put it in your pocket?"

Who would put something in their pocket at a time like this?!

Gu Huai said irritably.

Is this the second stage of being drunk? Starting to tell jokes now? What is all this nonsense? Have you ever seen anyone with their hands in their pockets like this? Trying to act superior, huh?
Cai Yan glared fiercely at Gu Huai, completely ignoring the fact that she had taken the initiative earlier.

Then his gaze shifted slightly downwards, "Disgusting and shameless."

Gu Huai looked down and realized that this wasn't his only problem. Who could possibly control this?
"Who's shameless? You were the one who pushed me in here, and you even called it 'taking the initiative'?"

"Shut up! I said I'm drunk!"

"Aren't you quite lucid now? You're not stuttering anymore."

"I was just drunk, wasn't I?"

Her high heels clicked on her toes as she looked up and stared at me with a fierce gaze.

At this moment, both her expression and the lingering charm were a delight to behold, though Gu Huai dared not look directly at her too boldly.

Then reply to the other person, "Yes, yes, you've had too much to drink."

Is this considered a way to save face?

"Very well, now go back to your normal life, pretend nothing happened, and don't mention it again. We're even!"

Gu Huai was completely bewildered.

He could foresee that he wouldn't be allowed to be mentioned again, but where did this "events settled" come from?

Did I owe her something before?

No, it should be that she owes me something, which is why she has to 'repay' me in this way.
Just a heads-up, in case we can use this excuse again in the future!

Cai Yan, her face flushed, opened the door to the private room and walked out.

Gu Huai let out a long sigh.

There's no room for reminiscing now. After all, staying out for too long will inevitably attract attention, and besides, it's really hard to explain why he and Cai Yan disappeared together.

You can't exactly say that the two of them took care of some business outside, can you?

However, as I walked out the door, some things kept replaying in my mind.

Was this accident the beginning of something, or a completely unprecedented and sudden event?
This time I drank too much, so what kind of excuse will I have for that vague "next time"?
We don't know for now, so we can only let this expectation fester and grow.

What is the most urgent matter right now? Gu Huai didn't want to admit it either.

"Why do they only kill but not bury? Sigh."
