Chapter 884
"Come on, cheers! Congratulations to Little Fatty for finally escaping the bitter sea of life!"
At the dinner table, Ruan Xue’s hand rested on Xia Hao’s shoulder as she heartily raised her glass and said with enthusiasm, "Little Fatty, once you get to Xuandu City, if anyone bullies you, just drop my name. I guarantee you’ll be walking sideways there!"
Xia Hao twitched the corner of his mouth and downed his beer in one gulp, awkwardly echoing Ruan Xue’s words with a look of pleading directed at An Yiqing.
He had never had physical contact with the opposite sex, and even with An Yiqing, Xia Hao was always honest, polite, and very gentlemanly. Faced with a tomboyish girl like Ruan Xue, the innocent Xia Hao was powerless.
An Yiqing watched Xia Hao’s plea for help with a smile, mischievously blinking her eyes. Although she wanted to enjoy the spectacle, she still gave her old friend an out.
"Xiao Xue, stop picking on Haozi, will you? He can’t hold his liquor, and it’ll make him miserable if he drinks too much. If you want to drink, I’ll keep you company today."
Ruan Xue’s eyes lit up, and she quickly let go of Xia Hao’s shoulder, slapped the table, and stood up, "You said it, no going back today! If you don’t drink with me—" She stopped mid-sentence as she caught the warning in Gu Yelin’s stare and swiftly changed the subject, "I think we’d better not, after all. Young people should drink less, for health’s sake!"
"Tsk tsk, a bully at heart, picking on the weak..." Gu Tingting commented while stuffing her face with food.
Ruan Xue’s eyebrows shot up as she looked at Gu Tingting and said, "With so much food and you still can’t keep your mouth shut, the man who marries you truly commits a sin! What do you think, Big Brother An?"
Gu Tingting’s face tensed, her mouth bulging with food, and her heart began to beat irregularly again.
As everyone’s gaze fell upon him, An Zhihang looked at Gu Tingting, who was puffing out her cheeks, and said softly, "Tingting is very cute, whoever marries her will be lucky."
