Chapter 3: Friends Arrived with Good Wine

  "We've all been seen through by you, and we need compensation."

  In Chen Tong's words, it is like this.

  Then, Su Nan followed Chen Tong and Ning Yu downstairs after tidying up the room. Looking at Ning Yu's quiet elegance and Chen Tong's vibrant youthfulness, his heart was stirred by the youthful girlhood aura they exuded in their movements, and he couldn't help but scratch it again from time to time.

  "Cough cough." Su Nan cleared his throat. "Chen Tong, just order whatever you want tonight, I'm treating and I'll make sure you're satisfied."

  "Hmph! I definitely won't let you off. Ning Yu and I, two beautiful young women, will make you pay the price right away. You can't get away with it that easily." Chen Tong curled her lips. Although she had a gentle appearance, when speaking, she was very bold and didn't care about anything.

  Ning Yu pulled Chen Tong down beside her, her face also slightly flushed. "Chen Tong, keep your voice down, do you want to shout it out so the whole world knows?"

  "Hehe, Miss Ning is a lady and cares about her dignity, so I won't say it." Chen Tong chuckled and suddenly reached out to touch Ning Yu's face, then giggled and ran ahead.

  "Stop right there, Chen Tong!" Ning Yu shouted in surprise, stomping her foot in anger and chasing after Chen Tong from behind. She grabbed Chen Tong and reached under her arms to tickle her.

  Following behind them, Su Nan looked at the two people who were in a heated argument and suddenly sighed, "Being young is really great!"

  At this time, Su Nan suddenly realized that he was only twenty years old and also a young man. However, after being in the army for several years, he had been so focused on training and tasks that he had forgotten the colors of his youth.

  "Maybe being discharged this time isn't a bad thing after all, can finally enjoy life as a young person."

  Although they said they would take advantage of Su Nan, Chen Tong and Ning Yu did not really put it into action. In the end, the two still chose a small restaurant next to the school. The store is not big, but clean and affordable.

  Su Nan, who was following behind, smiled slightly and didn't say much. He still had over a million on his card, but he never thought of spending it recklessly. Seeing that Chen Tong and Ning Yu were not the kind of people who loved vanity, his impression of them improved a bit.

  After entering the store, the three people found an empty table and sat down. Su Nan took over the menu handed by the waiter, stretched out his hand, and put it in front of Chen Tong and Ning Yu, "You two look at the menu and order, just order casually, I'll take care of the bill."

  Su Nan said with a big tone, Chen Tong and Ning Yu smiled and didn't say much, lowered their heads to look at the menu, chattering about what dishes to order.

  The restaurant's dishes are delicious and affordable, making it a favorite among students. Chen Tong and Ning Yu often come here to eat, so they're very familiar with the place. In just a short while, they ordered their food, asked for a bottle of wine, and sat down waiting.

  Su Nan wasn't very familiar with the two girls, and he wasn't good at interacting with them either. So he just sat quietly on the side, watching Chen Tong and Ning Yu chat. The two girls didn't treat Su Nan as an outsider, even though they were taking care of a strange boy, they still played around non-stop. Occasionally, they would say a few words to Su Nan, tease him, and watch his face turn red, feeling very excited.

  "Chen Tong, Ning Yu, you two are here, great! Come sit down and let's eat together."

  At this time, several people came in from outside and saw Chen Tong and Ning Yu chatting happily. One of them walked up to them and invited the two. Just by looking at his appearance, with a sly smile on his face, he didn't seem to be just an ordinary friend, as if he had other intentions in mind.

  As expected, Chen Tong and Ning Yu didn't give that person a good face, "Yuan Lin, quickly move to the side, this has nothing to do with you."

  "Hey, we're fellow students after all. If we run into each other outside, shouldn't I at least treat you to a meal?" Yuan Lin was like a sticky plaster, once he stuck to something, it wasn't easy to peel him off. As he spoke, he leaned in close to the two of them.

  It seemed like he didn't dare to pull the two of them, his eyes rolled around and then he turned around to beckon the two people following behind him, "Hurry up and come over, we'll just sit here and have dinner with these two beautiful ladies."

  As he spoke, he patted Su Nan's shoulder, "Brother, make room, let everyone sit together and eat, it's more lively." As he spoke, he sat down beside Su Nan and squeezed in a bit.

  "Slap!" Chen Tong slapped his palm on the table.

  "Yuan Lin, how dare you be so presumptuous! We didn't invite you, what are you doing sitting here? Hurry up and get out of the way. There are plenty of tables in this hall, go sit somewhere else."

  Yuan Lin didn't take Chen Tong's words seriously, "Chen Tong, we've been classmates since middle school, and now that we've met again, you're treating me like this? It's really heartbreaking. Just give me a chance, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, don't refuse."

  "Hmm!" Chen Tong pushed his chair and was about to stand up.

  Ning Yu beside her pulled her back, "Alright, Chen Tong, stop making a scene. Quarreling in this setting makes us look too lacking in quality. If they want to sit, let them sit. We'll just treat them as air and ignore them."

  Seeing the two women no longer objecting, Yuan Lin laughed and called out to the two people following behind him, telling them to sit down as well. Fortunately, the table was large enough, and with the addition of two more chairs, they could all sit comfortably.

  "Hey, bro, drinking beer?" Seeing that Chen Tong and Ning Yu were indeed ignoring him, Yuan Lin shifted his gaze to Su Nan. "You shouldn't be a student from our school, how did you get to know these two beauties?"

  Yuan Lin looked like a spoiled brat, and Su Nan wouldn't bother with someone like that. Although he clearly heard Yuan Lin asking him a question, Su Nan just smiled faintly and didn't respond to him.

  "Hum, you're quite arrogant, aren't you? You actually ignore me, are you looking for a fight?" Seeing Su Nan not taking himself seriously, Yuan Lin felt his face couldn't be saved and shouted at him in anger.

  "Yuan Lin, what do you want to do? Su Nan is our friend, don't go provoke him." Chen Tong didn't want to bother with Yuan Lin anymore, but seeing his rascal appearance, he worried that Su Nan would be at a disadvantage and couldn't help but shout at Yuan Lin.

  "What's wrong, hurt?" Seeing Chen Tong protecting Su Nan, Yuan Lin became even more angry. Chen Tong, from high school when I chased you, to now it's almost five years, but you never agreed to anything. Now you're actually having dinner with another guy, how can I swallow this?

  In the end, he still wanted to maintain some image in front of Chen Tong. After Chen Tong's outburst, Yuan Lin didn't say much more.

  "Wang Liang, go get two bottles of white wine. Today we met new friends, so we should celebrate. When friends come, there's good wine." Yuan Lin gave one of his followers a look.

  "Yuan Lin, don't bully people!" Chen Tong stopped Yuan Lin again. She still remembered the high school graduation reunion, where so many classmates were present, and Yuan Lin was the one who could drink the most. In the end, everyone else had drunk to the point of lying under the table, but Yuan Lin was fine, pulling her to sing together. If she hadn't gotten angry and stormed out, it's unknown how long Yuan Lin would have pestered her for.

  "What's wrong, Chen Tong? Let's make some friends and have a couple of drinks to exchange feelings. What's wrong with that?" Yuan Lin said with a smile on his face.

  "That's right, Chen Tong. We're just exchanging feelings with our new friend, this is a matter between men, you and Ning Yu don't need to get involved." On the side, Yuan Lin's other follower Zhao Jun also echoed Yuan Lin's words.

  He glanced at Yuan Lin with a slanted gaze, and Su Nan's mouth curled up. Interesting, this guy who doesn't know his own limits actually wants to have a drinking contest with me? Well, let's have a good match then, and see who will end up under the table.

  "Chen Tong, since Yuan Lin is being kind to you, don't stop him. Getting to know a new friend and having a good chat is normal, just make sure to keep an eye on Yuan Lin later so he doesn't get too drunk."

  "What?" Hearing Su Nan's airy words, Yuan Lin's lungs almost burst with anger. How arrogant! This kid doesn't take himself seriously at all. If he isn't taught a lesson, he won't know the wrath of the Third Eye of the Horse King.

  "Su Nan, right? You sound confident about your drinking capacity. Want to try and compare with me?" Yuan Lin picked up on Su Nan's words and easily sparked a challenge, "As men, let's have a good competition."

  "Of course, if you're afraid of getting drunk, just say so frankly, 'I'm afraid of getting drunk and don't dare to compete with Yuan Lin in drinking', we can also not compete." Yuan Lin said with a sly smile, his eyes full of disdain.

  Su Nan was not intimidated, curling his lip. "What's the big deal about drinking? You want to compete, let's do it. You set the rules, you say how we drink and I'll definitely accompany you to the end."

  Two dishes have been served and Wang Liang has brought back two bottles of white wine. Yuan Lin grabbed a bottle, opened it and directly filled Su Nan's wine glass to the brim, then poured some for himself.

  "Come on, Sunan. It's our first meeting, we still need to communicate more. After drinking this cup of wine, we can be considered officially acquainted." As he spoke, Yuan Lin picked up the cup in front of him and downed it in one gulp.

  Yuan Lin drank neatly, Su Nan was not weak at all, also picked up his cup and took a big gulp.

  "Su Nan, you're quite a drinker. Come on, let's make it a double success and have another cup." Yuan Lin glanced at Su Nan, not letting him off the hook.

  "Alright." Su Nan responded with a sound, picked up the wine glass that had just been refilled, and downed it again.

  In a short while, the two bottles of wine were finished, Wang Liang and Zhao Jun only accompanied to drink a little, most of it was drunk by Su Nan and Yuan Lin.

  Although the amount of wine was large, after finishing these two bottles of wine, Yuan Lin felt a bit tipsy. He shook his head and saw that Su Nan was still sitting there steadily, Yuan Lin's heart sank. He didn't expect Su Nan to be such a heavy drinker, yet he still looked like nothing had happened.

  He gave Wang Liang a glance and threw him an eye signal, letting him go on stage again.

  Having received the hint, Wang Liang asked the waiter to bring two more bottles of wine, filled up his cup and held it in his hand. "Su Nan, I'm glad to meet you. Come on, let's have a couple of drinks and deepen our friendship."

  Su Nan secretly laughed twice, is this going to be a wheel war? What's the matter, are you still afraid of you? "Yes, I'm glad to know you too, let's have a good drink."

  Su Nan said, and once again picked up the wine cup in front of him.
