Chapter Thirty-One: Who Says Women Are Inferior to Men?
Xiao Hua is a round-faced girl, slightly chubby, but very cute. When she smiles, two deep dimples appear on her face.
Because there were fewer students in the class, Qin Luo still had some impression of her. At that time, on the first day when he helped all the students with 'free clinic', he found out that she had blood stasis in her abdomen and needed to discharge it in time. Otherwise, as time went by, it might become a tumor or develop into cancer.
It's also because of this that Xiaohua has always been grateful to Qin Luo.
There were forty-nine people in the class, and with Qin Luo as the only teacher, there were a total of fifty people.
There were also wealthy students who drove their own private cars and took away half of the students. The remaining half had to take a taxi to gather together.
Some students asked Qin Luo to take a car and leave first, but he refused.
He is the teacher of these students and is responsible for their safety even when they go out to play.
Qin Luo followed Wang Jiujui and got off at the last taxi, stopping in front of a luxurious KTV with a magnificent decoration.
"Golden Palm KTV Wholesale." Qin Luo raised his head to look at the sky, which had just turned slightly dark, and muttered in a low voice while gazing at the dazzling neon sign. "Looks like it's not cheap. Can Xiaohua afford it with so many of us?"
Qin Luo had never been to a KTV for consumption before, but he had always seen this type of entertainment venue on TV.
He knew that this kind of place was a money-burning hole, with a dozen beers costing several hundred and a bottle of red wine over a thousand. It made him feel uneasy to let a young girl treat so many people.
"Xiao Hua's family is rich. We're eating at a wealthy household." Wang Jiujin said with a smile beside him.
The students who came ahead of time came out to greet them. They had already booked a room. When Qin Luo and the others walked in, the large private room was packed with people.
Xiao Hua came over with a happy face and said: "Teacher Qin, please sit down. Don't be polite."
"Little flower. Happy birthday." Qin Luo said with a smile. "It wasn't until school was over that Wang Jiujin told me it's your birthday today, and I didn't even have time to buy you a gift. I'll make it up to you later."
"Teacher Qin, your presence is the best gift you could have given me. You don't know how many girls in class envy me." Xiaohua smiled with a simple and innocent face.
"You two are so polite! You're being courteous back and forth, you're not tired of saying it, I'm tired of listening. " Wang Jiujin intentionally interrupted in the middle to liven up the atmosphere. "Xiaohua, aren't there anything to eat? I'm starving."
" Ninth sister, I've already ordered a steak for each of you. The taste might not be very authentic, so just bear with it. There's also barbecue and some other snacks. You can order whatever you like." Little Flower said with a smile, intimately holding Wang Jiujin's hand. It seems their relationship is quite good.
"I won't be polite with you." Wang Jiujin said with a smile. "Right, this person is not enough. Where are the others?"
"I was afraid it would be too crowded," said Xiaohua. "So I booked two private rooms. They are next door."
"It's really extravagant. Your card is probably going to explode today." Wang Jiujin pinched Xiaohua's chubby cheeks and joked.
"It's okay. My dad will have someone take care of it later." Xiaohua said nonchalantly.
Before long, the steak that Xiaohua had ordered for them arrived. The taste was not particularly authentic, but to these people who were singing on empty stomachs, it was still very delicious.
Qin Luo couldn't tell if it was authentic or not because he had never eaten steak before and didn't know what the real thing should taste like.
After warming up their stomachs, the boys started drinking competitively. Some girls who were good at drinking joined in, while others went to order songs and sing.
Wang Jiujui took the microphone and said, "Thank you very much to all the classmates who came to participate in Zhang Xiaohua's birthday party. On behalf of Xiaohua, I would like to thank everyone. Now, a song 'Curious Dead Cat' is dedicated to Xiaohua and our special guest, Teacher Qin Luo."
The black circle in my eyes
Watching you wonder what's on your mind
You're as mysterious as Sicily
I am as curious as a kitten
Some people say curiosity killed that cat
It's terrible if you're brainless.
Now you'd better get your goals straightened out
Don't be curious and lose your pride
This is a very flavorful girl love song, sounds quite another kind. Wang Jiujui's singing skills are excellent, and the girl's coquettishness and laziness are fully expressed.
The song ended with thunderous applause, accompanied by whistles from the boys.
Wang Jiujui put down the microphone and ran over to Qin Luo's side, sat down and asked: "Teacher Qin, let me sing a song for you?"
Qin Luo shook his head repeatedly and said, "No way, no way. I won't sing."
"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't. Did you think I'd really let you go sing? I'm afraid if you sang a song, everyone would be scared away."
"It's really possible." Qin Luo said with a smile.
"Beer or red wine?" Wang Jiuyi asked Qin Luo, holding a beer in one hand and a bottle of Great Wall dry red wine in the other.
On such an occasion, Wang Jiujiao deliberately ignored Qin Luo's identity. She also intentionally did not address him as 'teacher'.
"I don't drink alcohol." Qin Luo shook his head. "Just give me a bottle of mineral water."
"Come on, Teacher Qin, you don't even drink? Looking at your demeanor, I thought you were like those ancient heroes who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk." Big-headed Li Meng brought over several cans of beer, with the attitude that he wanted to get drunk with Qin Luo.
"I really can't drink." Qin Luo said with a bitter smile. His grandfather had warned him when he was very young, not to drink. Over the years, he never touched these things.
"Just drink a bottle then." Li Meng said. "Look at those girls, they're all drinking beer. You can't even compare to them?"
"That's right. Teacher Qin, today is Xiaohua's birthday, we should at least drink a little to celebrate. We're not forcing you, if you don't want to drink much, that's fine too. At worst, if you get drunk, I'll send you back home." Wang Jiujin chimed in from the side.
"You're going to send Teacher Qin back, won't you have any ulterior motives?" Li Meng grinned at Wang Jiujin.
He usually didn't have the courage to talk to Wang Jiujin, a campus belle, but today's occasion was special and everyone's relationship seemed to be closer, so he dared to make this harmless joke.
"Yes. As long as Teacher Qin doesn't resist fiercely, I'll turn the uncooked rice into cooked rice." Wang Jiujiu said, looking at Qin Luo.
"You don't take teachers as teachers at all." Qin Luo rebuked with a stern face.
"Haha, in class, we treat you as a teacher. Outside, we treat you as a big brother!" Li Meng shouted to those behind him.
"Right! Big Brother!" A group of boys followed with cheers.
Qin Luo smiled and waved his hand, saying: "You drink your wine."
"Teacher Qin, today is my birthday, I'd like to toast you a glass." Xiaohua was the birthday star and had just run next door to make a toast. On her way back, she saw everyone urging Teacher Qin to drink and ran over to join in on the fun.
"Teacher Qin, Xiaohua is Shouxing Gong after all. You should drink when she offers you a toast, shouldn't you?"
"Yes, otherwise Little Flower sister will cry."
"Those in favor of Teacher Qin drinking, raise your hands ---- look, even Teacher Qin himself has raised his hand. How cooperative."
Qin Luo struggled free from Wang Jiujiu's raised right hand, and smiled wryly: "I really can't drink. How about this, I'll keep Xiaohua company for a cup. Tonight I won't drink anymore. Does anyone have any objections?"
Qin Luo was afraid of being forced to drink again by this group of people, so he simply said what needed to be said upfront.
"No problem. We agree." Li Meng shouted.
Qin Luo was forced to take over the red wine handed over by Wang Jiujui, and raised his glass to Xiaohua, saying: "Xiaohua, happy birthday."
"Thanks, Teacher Qin." Xiaohua tilted her head back and downed a whole cup of wine in one gulp.
The girls had all finished drinking, and Qin Luo didn't want to be left behind. He could only grit his teeth and finish the whole cup of red wine.
For over twenty years, Qin Luo drank for the first time and felt a bit worried and also somewhat anticipated. He was worried that his body really couldn't drink as his grandfather had said. What he looked forward to was --- not knowing what wine tasted like.
He licked his mouth and savored it for a while. Qin Luo thought that there was nothing special about it?
Just as Qin Luo was about to say something, his head spun and he fell into Wang Jiujie's arms.
Ah!
Wang Jiuyi hugged Qin Luo tightly and exclaimed: "Teacher Qin, are you okay? Don't scare me."
"It's nothing," Qin Luo said in a weak voice. "I'm dizzy. Let me lie down on the sofa for a while."
Although Wang Jiujui's arms were also warm and gentle, Qin Luo couldn't bear to lie in his student's arms in front of so many people, no matter how thick his skin was.
"Ah." Wang Jiujin replied, saying. Without anyone's help, she wrapped her arms around him and picked up Qin Luo - just like a sturdy big man hugging his newly rescued little wife.
Qin Luo buried his head in Wang Jiujui's long hair, and he almost died of suffocation.
How can this woman be so barbaric, she just picked someone up?
Fortunately, everyone else was concerned about Qin Luo's physical condition and no one noticed his facial expression.
"Teacher Qin, are you okay?" Li Meng asked with a tense face.
"It's nothing. Just a bit dizzy." Qin Luo said. "Maybe the wine is taking effect. Rest for a while and it'll be fine."
Qin Luo knew that his body was far from just being dizzy with tension. The meridians in his body were sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, and his pulse was very disordered. Moreover, his stomach was also churning like a stormy sea.
It may be some kind of chemical reaction between alcohol and my own body, what specific reason, I'll have to study it again later.
"This damn physique." Qin Luoyu thought gloomily. Hopefully, no one would spread this scene to school. If Grandpa found out that he had been drinking, he'd probably be skinned alive.
Li Meng picked up the cup that Qin Luo had dropped on the ground and asked Wang Jiujiu, "Was it red wine that you gave to Teacher Qin?"
Yes.
"Are you like us?"
"It's still the same bottle." Wang Jiujin looked at Qin Luo with concern and said.
"That's strange. Red wine isn't that potent, is it? Could it be that our Teacher Qin is the legendary 'one cup to knock down'?"
Qin Luo made a silent vow in his heart that once he recovered from his injuries, he would definitely make this guy pay dearly.
Just as I was thinking about it, a wave of nausea hit my chest. It felt like something was going to burst out violently.
Qin Luo quickly jumped up from the sofa and ran hastily outside.
"Hey, Teacher Qin, there's a bathroom in the private room----" Wang Jiujin shouted from behind. Unfortunately, Qin Luo didn't hear him at all, he had already opened the door and ran out.
Wang Jiujin anxiously followed Qin Luo's body and quickly caught up with him.
Li Meng also wanted to chase after him, but was pulled back by Xiaohua. "What are you going to do? Come on, let's have a drink."
The others were stunned for a moment, then smiled and continued drinking.
Qin Luo ran out of the door and walked quickly. Fortunately, his luck was still good, and he soon saw a sign with a toilet logo on it.
Splish-splash
Just rushing into the bathroom, Qin Luo collapsed over the sink and started vomiting violently. After vomiting, he dry-heaved, as if trying to throw up his internal organs.
"Teacher Qin, are you okay?" Wang Jiujiu rushed in and helped pat Qin Luo's back.
"Ah, how did you get in here?" A woman suddenly ran into the men's restroom, causing a commotion among several men who were using the facilities.
"What's wrong with you? I didn't even look at you," Wang Jiujin said irritably.
"I'm fine." Qin Luo weakly waved his hand. "This is the men's restroom, how did you run in here?"
"I'm worried about you," said Wang Jiujin.
Li Qingyang was startled when he walked into the bathroom by a woman inside.
She looked back at the sign, made sure she wasn't in the wrong place, struck her best pose and smiled, saying: "Beautiful girl, are you lost?"
"I know." Wang Jiuyi handed Qin Luo a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth. To be honest, it was her first time entering the men's restroom and she was quite nervous. Her gaze remained fixed on Qin Luo, not daring to look around randomly.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Li Qingyang glanced at the beauty beside Qin Luo, and his face suddenly turned gloomy, saying: "Are you?"
Qin Luo raised his head and didn't expect to run into Li Qingyang in this place. He said: "What are you doing here?"
Li Qingyang glanced greedily at Wang Jiujin beside him, and sneered: "I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be a master of flirting with women. Is it this woman's skills in bed that are good, or is Lian Jingcheng's skills in bed that are good?"
Qin Luo also wanted to know the answer to this question. However, he himself did not know either.
"Your mouth is as foul as ever. Are you ready to fix me now?" Qin Luo struggled to straighten his body.
"Haha, it's really better to meet by chance than to be invited. Since you said that, if I don't teach you a lesson, wouldn't that disappoint you?"
"What do you want to do?" Wang Jiujin stared at Li Qingyang and asked.
"This has nothing to do with you. Get out of the way." Li Qingyang said. He was ready to beat up this kid in the toilet.
This kid is not as tall as him, nor as strong, nor as handsome ----- Of course, fighting and being handsome have nothing to do with each other. However, he looks absolutely weak and won't be his opponent at all.
"Scram!" Wang Jiujiao shouted.
"Despicable person, don't give me that look. I'm telling you again, get out of my sight!" Li Qingyang scolded, pointing at Wang Jiujin in anger.
Then, a shocking scene appeared.
Wang Jiuzi suddenly made a move, his hands wrapped around Li Qingyang's neck, and a heavy knee pressed against his abdomen.
Among his usual pig-killing cries, Wang Jiuzhao grabbed his hair with one hand and slammed his face into the mirror above the washbasin.
Bang!
The mirror shattered, and Li Qingyang's face was also ruined.
