Chapter 106
In the evening, to celebrate Yi Feng becoming the top scorer of Guangdong province and Gu Muxi passing the first-tier university examination line, the Yi and Gu families gathered for a lavish dinner.
A table full of dishes, roast duck, roast goose, white-cut chicken, steamed fish, and other delicacies usually reserved for New Year’s celebrations, were all prepared today.
Gu Xingzhong raised his glass, his face glowing with happiness, “Come on, everyone, let’s drink to celebrate these two children!”
“They are all promising children!”
“Especially Little Feng, the top scorer of Guangdong province!”
“This is an honor we never even dreamed of!”
“Come on, let’s drink to that!”
Everyone raised their glasses in response.
Seeing Yi Feng’s glass filled with juice, Gu Xingzhong couldn’t help but laugh, “Little Feng, you’re an adult now, stop drinking juice, how about some liquor?”
“Indeed, Little Feng, it’s a happy day today, you can drink some liquor with your Uncle Gu!” Yi Jianbing also said with a smile, happy to see him grow up.
He wasn’t a conservative parent; now that they were of age and graduated, it was time to drink if drinking was called for, especially knowing his son was going into business, where drinking and smoking were essential skills.
“Alright, since it’s a happy occasion, I’ll drink a few with Uncle Gu.” Yi Feng stopped pretending and poured himself a full glass of liquor.
Meng Xiaoyun smiled and whispered a word of caution, “Just be happy, don’t drink too much.”
“Mm, okay, Mom, I know.” Yi Feng responded with a smile.
Gu Xingzhong cheerfully said, “sister Xiaoyun, don’t worry, we’re happy today, we won’t get drunk.”
“Come on, let’s all raise our glasses and celebrate for the two kids!”
“Wishing them a smooth and prosperous life ahead!”
Everyone clinked glasses together, creating a lively atmosphere.
The two families talked and laughed, enjoying themselves more than they did during the New Year.
After three rounds of drinks, Gu Xingzhong asked Yi Feng, “Little Feng, have you decided which university you’re going to?”
“Not yet, I’ll fill out the preference form next week, so I have some time to think about it.” Yi Feng replied.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
“Ah, it would be great if you and Xixi could attend the same university. You’ve been studying together since elementary school. It would be nice if you could go to the same university for college and take care of each other.” Gu Xingzhong expressed his honest opinion.
“Old Gu, Little Feng is the top scorer of Guangdong province, he’s definitely going to Tsinghua or Peking University. How could he possibly go to the same school as Xixi?”
“Although Xixi’s scores are also good, getting into Tsinghua or Peking is still a bit difficult.” Li Wan said regretfully.
Hearing this, Gu Muxi smiled somewhat despondently, then bowed her head to eat, not revealing what she was thinking.
Yi Feng laughed, “Auntie, Tsinghua and Peking are good, but I’d rather stay in Guangxi, closer to home. That way, I can come back for meals on weekends and see my parents.”
Hearing this, Li Wan was overjoyed, praising, “Little Feng is such a filial child!”
Gu Muxi was both annoyed and amused, but helpless against the drunken Yi Feng.
“Damn it, then you have to wash the sheets tomorrow!” Gu Muxi pouted.
“Okay, okay, no problem, I’ll wash the sheets for a lifetime, hehe.” Yi Feng shamelessly said.
Gu Muxi’s face turned red, she glared at him, “Hmph, who told you to wash for a lifetime? Showing off!”
After speaking, Gu Muxi left the room, planning to prepare a cup of warm water for Yi Feng.
Yi Feng always drank warm water after getting drunk, a habit he had developed.
According to Yi Feng, it was essential to rehydrate promptly after getting drunk to better protect the stomach and prevent dehydration due to vomiting.
In the living room, Li Wan also came out to boil water. Seeing Gu Muxi, she whispered, “Xixi, is Little Feng in your room?”
“Mm, yes, that guy got drunk too and took over my bed!” Gu Muxi puffed her cheeks.
Li Wan covered her mouth and laughed, then hesitantly asked after a moment’s thought, “Xixi, although, although you’re both adults now, there are still some things to be careful about, safety first.”
“Eh? What? What things?” Gu Muxi was completely confused, not understanding Li Wan’s cryptic message.
“Hey, don’t be like that, Little Feng already told me, mom’s not an old fogey, don’t worry, I’m very open-minded.” Li Wan said with a laugh, giving a “I understand everything” look.
Gu Muxi was even more baffled.
What did mom understand? What did she know?
Li Wan thought Gu Muxi was just too shy to speak up, but now was the time for some adult education. She thought about how to phrase it in a more acceptable way.
“Cough cough, Xixi, it’s about raincoats, remember to wear a raincoat, cough cough, um... wearing a raincoat is safer.”
Gu Muxi: “???”
“Raincoat?”
“Ah, Mom, I got it!”
Li Wan’s face showed relief.
Her daughter finally understood!
Not in vain had she put so much thought into it!
“Rest assured, we’ll remember to bring raincoats if it rains tomorrow, very safe!” Gu Muxi obediently said.
Li Wan: “......”
