16: Chapter 16 A flash in the eyes, a bit of astonishment _1 16: Chapter 16 A flash in the eyes, a bit of astonishment _1 Nanxi didnât know why Li Weihuan was interested in her, but knowing that he liked her and was willing to pamper her induced feelings she couldnât deny.
He met her, then fell in love with herâit was as if he had fallen under a spell!
Thatâs what Li Weihuan told Nanxi!
As Nanxi was mulling over this, a drink was handed to her.
It was Bai Yuchuan!
âHave a drink with me.
Iâve faced punches and bled for your affairs with Huanziâ¦
havenât I?â
Nanxi clenched her teeth, exhaled, and raised her glass, saying, âWell, thank you!â
âHow standoffish!â Yang Su said from the side with some disgruntlement.
âStandoffish?â Bai Yuchuan laughed, âSusu, are you trying to force me into a toast with Nanxi?!â
Yang Su smiled and said, âA toast?
Sure, Iâll drink with you, dare you?!â
âWhatâs a toast!
Xiaobai, do you dare duel drinks?
Loser downs three shots?
Do you dare!â Lan Qiqi stood up and provocatively addressed Bai Yuchuan.
âHaha!â Zhang Mu laughed, turned to Bai Yuchuan, and raised his eyebrows, âXiaobai, youâre on!â
Bai Yuchuan shook his head, âThe girls these daysâ¦
theyâre so intense⦠be careful or no one will want you!â
âYou donât need to worry about this!â Lan Qiqi picked up her drink and took a sip.
Nanxi pursed her lips, feeling a slight sense of gratitude.
Yang Su and Lan Qiqi were standing up for her!
While Bai Yuchuan and Zhang Mu werenât going to bully her or anything, she wasnât good at drinking.
âYou should at least have a little.
Itâs not easy for us to get together!â Liang Qiaoqiao lightened the atmosphere, âEven if all of you get drunk, Iâll make sure everyone gets home safely.
So, letâs drink to our heartâs contentâ¦â
After finishing, Liang Qiaoqiao looked at Nanxi and raised her glass to her, âNanxi, although you havenât formally graduated yet, you are now stepping into society.
I know you canât drink much, but in the future, social drinking is inevitable!
Today, itâs just us, you donât need to be reserved.
Let me drink the first toast to you!â
This is the first time Nanxi had heard such heartfelt words from her usually unreliable cousin.
If her uncle heard this, he would surely be touched.
She smiled faintly and clinked glasses with Liang Qiaoqiao, âI wish you fresh love this year and a handsome man to bring home as my cousin-in-law!â
âHaha!â Liang Qiaoqiao laughed, âThank you for your kind words, Nanxi.
Cheers!â
âCheers!â
âI also want to toast!â
âEveryone, letâs all toast together!â
âFinish the drink in one gulp, itâs beer, no big deal!â
After everyoneâs cheers and exclamations, they clinked their glasses together and drank enthusiastically!
Following this opening round, everyone let loose, toasting to friendship, to love, to careerâ¦
and other things.
After several rounds of toasts, majority had become inebriatedâ¦
Liang Qiaoqiao went out to receive a call.
When she returned, she found the room was in an uproar.
She sighed and her gaze fell on Nanxi, who was sitting on the side, resting her cheek on her hand, and smiling at everyoneâ¦
Under the soft, bright lights, her face had a slightly dazed and tipsy look.
She looked exceptionally graceful and beautifulâ¦
Liang Qiaoqiao was momentarily stunned, her eyes sparkled with surpriseâ¦
