Chapter 296 - 291: Phoenix Man
"Hey, third son, do you think Li Xin has a thing for you?" Huang Lou whispered in Dan Bei’s ear.
"She doesn’t eat tripe, I’ll eat it." Dan Bei didn’t change his expression at all and grabbed a big chopstick full.
"Damn, you beast!" Seeing his favorite food being snatched away, Huang Lou instantly lost interest in gossiping.
Li Xin, nibbling on some greens with small bites, bit her teeth secretly. She deliberately sat in front of this man, yet he didn’t give her an extra glance. What’s so good about this cheap hot pot!
"Here, I’ll toast to everyone. Thank you for your blessings for me and Mengmeng," Ye Qiu said, smiling tenderly at Zhang Meng.
"Fourth, congratulations, congratulations. Didn’t expect the youngest among us to be the first to break free from singleton status," Huang Lou laughed loudly, while eldest brother Zhong Sheng and third son Dan Bei also raised their glasses, sincerely wishing him well.
Zhang Meng’s classmates from the nursing class also congratulated them with amiable faces, the only exception being Li Xin, who looked threatening and jokingly said, "Ye Qiu, Mengmeng has been my sister from childhood, you better not let her down!"
"Dare not." Ye Qiu clinked glasses with everyone, downed his drink in one gulp, and Zhang Meng, sitting beside him with a flushed face, smiled openly at everyone. After Ye Qiu finished his drink, she considerately picked up some greens for him, prompting a round of good-natured laughter from everyone.
Except for Li Xin, who was a bit distracted, everyone enjoyed the meal with delight.
As they walked, Li Xin was somewhat absent-minded. Ahead of her were two nursing classmates, and behind were Ye Qiu and Zhang Meng. In between were herself and Ye Qiu’s three roommates; she had intentionally walked in the middle to create more opportunities to interact with Dan Bei, but he seemed to be avoiding her on purpose, not saying a word all the way. Meanwhile, the tall and robust Huang Lou kept chattering nonstop, which almost drove Li Xin crazy.
