Chapter 58 Wang Dong's Self-Destruction.
Wang Dong chuckled and chimed in, "Alright, Xiao Mu, everyone understands, so don't be shy. Let's have a blast tonight!"
Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement, their eyes full of anticipation.
Just then, the innkeeper and his staff filed in and began serving the dishes. One exquisite dish after another was brought to the table.
Everyone's eyes lit up at the sight of the feast. Forgetting all else, they picked up their chopsticks, ready to dig in.
Deng Mu smiled and called out, "Everyone, don't be shy! Try it all! Let's eat and drink well and have a great time tonight!"
He then picked up a piece of braised pork knuckle and put it in his mouth, looking completely satisfied.
Seeing this, the others also laughed and began to eat.
In an instant, the private room was bustling with activity, the sounds of clinking bowls and chopsticks mingling with laughter.
Tang Ya ate while mumbling her praises, "Wow, the food at Jufulou is truly as good as its reputation! It's so delicious!"
She then picked up a large mouthful of shrimp and stuffed it into her mouth.
Jiang Nannan also looked on with enjoyment, nodding gently, "Yes, the taste is indeed authentic. Xiao Mu really chose a good place."
Huo Yutong's cheeks were bulging like a little hamster, and she didn't forget to give Deng Mu a thumbs up, "Brother Mu, you have such good taste! The food tonight is delicious."
Xiao Xiao echoed, her mouth full of food, making "uh-huh" sounds, which made everyone laugh.
Wang Dong, quick as a flash, picked out all the dishes he liked and put them in his bowl, not forgetting to tease Deng Mu, "Hmph, for the sake of this delicious food, I'll forgive you for going to the inner courtyard. You'd better remember us often and find a chance to bring us here to eat something good again!"
Deng Mu nodded repeatedly, smiling as he replied, "Of course! I won't forget everyone. I'll definitely come back here to gather again sometime."
Tang Ya looked around and noticed there was no fruit wine, asking, "Xiao Mu, why isn't there any fruit wine?"
Deng Mu paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Oh dear, look at my memory! I almost forgot about the fruit wine. I'll go ask the waiter to get some right away."
With that, Deng Mu quickly got up and walked towards the exit of the private room, found a nearby waiter, explained the situation, and asked him to quickly bring over several jugs of fine fruit wine.
A moment later, the waiter brought several jugs of fruit wine into the private room. The wine was bright in color and had a refreshing fruity aroma.
Deng Mu took the jugs, poured a glass for Tang Ya, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiao Ya, here's some fruit wine. Try it and see how it tastes."
Tang Ya picked up the glass, took a small sip, and her eyes immediately lit up. She said with satisfaction, "Hmm, this fruit wine is quite good, just my taste."
Seeing Tang Ya's reaction, the others also became interested and asked Deng Mu to pour them a glass as well.
Deng Mu smiled and poured everyone a glass of fruit wine. The wine swirled in the glass, its aroma growing stronger.
Everyone picked up their glasses, gently swirling them, admiring the clear color and inhaling the enticing fragrance, eager to taste it.
Huo Yutong took a sip, her eyes sparkling with delight, and exclaimed, "This fruit wine tastes so good! I love it!"
Xiao Xiao also took a sip, nodding and mumbling her praise, "Mmm, it really is delicious. It makes my meals taste even better."
Wang Dong, on the other hand, drank in large gulps, glancing at Tang Ya every now and then, his eyes gleaming with a defiant spirit, as if to say, "Watch me drink just as fast as you."
Tang Ya, not to be outdone, took another sip, deliberately swirling her glass slowly, and raised an eyebrow at Wang Dong.
Wang Dong gulped down several large mouthfuls, burped as he put down his glass, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and exclaimed, "This fruit wine is so delicious! It's so satisfying! Xiao Mu, you really know how to pick wine!"
He then picked up his glass again, ready to drink more, but his eyes remained fixed on Tang Ya's actions, hoping to outdrink her in this drinking contest.
The others, watching their childish competition, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Huo Yutong laughed until tears streamed down her face, saying between laughs, "You two, competing over fruit wine, it's really funny."
Xiao Xiao also chuckled, her mouth full of food, and mumbled, "Exactly, exactly, but this fruit wine is really good."
Jiang Nannan smiled and shook her head, continuing to elegantly savor her food, occasionally taking a small sip of fruit wine, enjoying the lively and joyful atmosphere of the gathering.
After the meal, Wang Dong was already quite drunk.
Deng Mu shook his head helplessly at the drunk Wang Dong, got up and walked to Wang Dong's side, gently patted his shoulder, and said, "Dongzi, you can drink too much. How did you get so drunk?"
Wang Dong raised his head groggily, his eyes somewhat unfocused, and mumbled, "Xiao Mu, I'm not drunk. This fruit wine is so delicious, I can drink more..."
Before he could finish speaking, his head tilted to the side, and he almost fell off the chair.
Deng Mu quickly helped him up and turned to the others, saying, "We need to take Dongzi back to rest first. The gathering is almost over. We can get together again next time."
Jiang Nannan came over to help support Wang Dong, saying, "Then let's take Wang Dong back first. Don't let him feel uncomfortable here."
The others nodded; it was time to go back to the dormitory.
So, everyone helped the tipsy Wang Dong leave Jufulou and headed towards the academy under the moonlight.
Back in the dormitory, Deng Mu put the drunk Wang Dong on the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, intending to take off Wang Dong's school uniform.
Wang Dong, somewhat dazed, hugged Deng Mu and said, "Xiao Mu, I have a secret to tell you."
Hearing this, Deng Mu asked curiously, "Dongzi, what secret?"
Wang Dong, still dazed, hugged Deng Mu, her eyes darting around, and mumbled, "Xiao Mu, I'll tell you, actually...actually, I'm not a boy, I'm a girl, hehe, this is my big secret, I'll tell you..."
Hearing this, Deng Mu looked at Wang Dong in surprise, not expecting her to reveal her true gender.
Looking at Wang Dong's drunken state, Deng Mu touched Wang Dong's face and sighed.
After Wang Dong finished mumbling her secret of being a girl, she suddenly leaned in and, catching Deng Mu off guard, gently kissed his cheek. In that instant, Deng Mu was completely stunned, utterly unprepared for this.
He could clearly feel the warmth and softness, and the faint scent of alcohol wafting towards him.
After kissing Deng Mu, Wang Dong seemed momentarily dazed, then closed his eyes again, muttering incoherent words. He gradually released Deng Mu's grip, lay back down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep, his breathing even and long.
