A drunken man reeking of alcohol barged in.
Everyone looked up.
The drunk mumbled some nonsense, then realized he was in the wrong room, pulled the door closed, and retreated.
No one made much of it, and the noisy chatter resumed.
Tang Huoyang, having consumed a little alcohol, his face flushed, was in high spirits, and even shared an amusing story about his encounter with Pei Jinye, "Old Pei is really tough, truly tough."
The guys laughed, and the girls who understood lowered their heads shyly.
Pei Jinye had a look of total exasperation.
Tang Huoyang stood up to go to the restroom, with several other boys laughing and following him.
Pei Jinye didn't join them and continued eating the meat on the table, taking as much as he could.
With some spaces now free in the room, the girl surnamed Lan moved closer: "Student Pei, how did you get to know Sister Xiao Yong?"
"Through training," Pei Jinye said, uninterested in the girl's little crush.
