章 127: confrontation on a narrow path

After about an hour of drinks and games, everyone felt tired and sleepy, yet no one wanted to leave.

Chen Mumu felt a strong urge to pee, so she quickly got up and walked to the bathroom. Xu Jingli, worried about her, followed closely to ensure she got there safely.

Chen Mumu was a bit drunk, and her steps were slightly wobbly. She suddenly felt someone grabbing her arm, and when she looked up, Xu Jingli was staring at her with concern.

"You drank too much," he started. "Let me escort you there."

Chen Mumu's drunkenness seemed to dissipate at his words. She nodded slightly, and the two of them walked toward the washrooms.

Since it was the ladies' bathroom, Xu Jingli couldn't enter, so he waited at the door while Chen Mumu went inside.

While standing outside, he suddenly felt the urge to smoke. He took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and exhaled a stream of smoke into the air. The hallway quickly became hazy.
