Chapter 69 Wow, Studying Really Works

"Brother, come to my house for dinner today."

"My cooking is really good!"

Thinking about how everyone had worked hard in the fight today, Ruan Qing suggested he cook.

Meng Ci nodded and then plucked some vegetable leaves from a flower pot at home, bringing them over to Ruan Qing.

Outside, Yun Jingcen and the others were still mopping the floor, so Meng Ci came out to do what he could.

Even more impressive was Duan Yan.

Because some of the walls were stained with blood, he actually took a basin and went downstairs with Cheng Yu, scraping a lot of wall plaster, mixed it with water, and started applying it to the walls.

Seeing this, Meng Ci wondered if Duan Yan studied civil engineering in college rather than physics.

Otherwise, how could someone who looked so gentle know how to plaster walls?

Cheng Yu and Fang Shurui helped Duan Yan fix the electric fence, raising its height to over thirty centimeters and adding hinges to make it easier to open from the inside.

Once the outside was mostly cleaned up, Yun Jingcen and Mao Xinyu went inside to help Ruan Qing cook.

With many people around, they decided to make hotpot.

The electric stove heated the yin-yang pot, emitting a strong spicy aroma.

Although it was a yin-yang pot, only the spicy flavor was used, but one side had less seasoning than the other.

Ruan Qing, who was serving dishes, brightened up when he saw the can of cola in Meng Ci's hand and quickly ran over.

"Brother, is this for me?"

"Of course." Meng Ci handed the cola to Ruan Qing.

"Thank you, Brother!" Then Ruan Qing ran back to his room with the cola and came out after a minute or two.

"Brother, don't tell the teachers about the cola!"

"They think drinking too much cola is bad, so they only give me one bottle every few days!"

Meng Ci nodded, "No problem."

"But hide it well so the teachers don't find it."

"If they do find it, don't tell them I gave it to you!"

Ruan Qing nodded and obediently went in to help Yun Jingcen serve the dishes.

Now that the Green Dragon Gang had been dealt with, there would likely be no immediate threats.

So Meng Ci brought a case of beer and even pulled out a bottle of wine he bought in M country from his storage space.

None of them were heavy drinkers, so each person only had half a bottle of beer.

But when they tasted the wine Meng Ci brought, they all praised it highly.

Only Mao Xinyu, usually an elegant and intellectual female teacher, drank several glasses uncharacteristically.

"Meng, this is really good stuff!"

Mao Xinyu held a disposable cup, leaned back in her chair, and sniffed the wine, her expression entranced.

Her posture was graceful, as if she were at an upscale banquet.

Yun Jingcen nudged her with her elbow, "Stop pretending!"

"If you like it, just drink it; don't put on airs."

Mao Xinyu hummed lightly, "Someone like you who doesn't know how to enjoy life wouldn't understand wine."

With that, Mao Xinyu downed the wine in her cup in one go.

"You call that understanding wine?" Yun Jingcen said.

"I'm venting my frustrations."

Mao Xinyu poured more wine into her cup, and most of the bottle ended up in her stomach.

Sitting beside, Ruan Qing saw Mao Xinyu drinking. When she put down the bottle, he sneaked it away while no one was looking.

But before he could pour any, Mao Xinyu snatched it back.

"Kids can't drink! Burp~"

"Go back and drink your cola!"

Duan Yan sternly said, "Since you're not eating, go review the lessons for later."

"If you still haven't learned yesterday's lesson, add another hour today."

Hearing this, Ruan Qing deflated, feeling like the sky had fallen.

Teacher Duan had just gone through such a fierce battle and now had to supervise his studies. Was the teacher made of iron? Didn't he get tired?

Wah, even with a heavy downpour, why couldn't studying stop?

In the end, it was Yun Jingcen who saved Ruan Qing.

"Ruan Ruan, don't listen to him!"

"He's just drunk and talking nonsense here. Eat your meal."

"I'm not drunk." Duan Yan's eyes were glazed over, yet he was still shouting that he wasn't drunk.

None of them had expected Duan Yan to have such a low tolerance for alcohol. He had only drunk half a glass of red wine and was already this drunk.

"Ruan Qing, come with me now..."

Duan Yan stood up but didn't expect his legs to give way. His eyes closed, and he passed out from the alcohol.

Chengyu had been keeping an eye on Duan Yan. When he fell, Chengyu quickly caught him.

"Xiao Yan is drunk. I'll take him to rest."

"Please take care of things here."

"No problem, go take good care of him."

As the only two people who hadn't been drinking, Yun Jingcen and Ruan Qing helped clean up the dishes. Fang Shurui, who could handle his alcohol, also helped carry things inside.

Meng Ci had been watching Duan Yan and Chengyu. When he saw Chengyu carry Duan Yan in a princess hold, his eyes lit up.

By then, everyone had finished eating. Meng Ci and Shen Que had both had some wine, so Yun Jingcen didn't let them help clean up.

Meng Ci remained calm and walked steadily through the two security doors.

Seeing that Shen Que showed no reaction, Meng Ci was about to open the door to go home when his eyes flickered, his foot twisted, and he collapsed, ignoring everything else.

"Meng Ci!"

Fortunately, their doors were close by, and Shen Que caught Meng Ci in time.

"Meng Ci? Wake up."

Shen Que shook Meng Ci several times, but there was no response.

He checked his breathing; it was slightly rapid, but otherwise normal.

Could he be drunk?

After shaking him several times with no response, Shen Que had to search for keys on Meng Ci.

He checked the pockets of his coat but found nothing. Shen Que hesitated to search elsewhere.

Sighing, Shen Que opened the door to his own apartment.

He put one of Meng Ci's arms around his neck and helped him into the room.

Meng Ci lowered his head, his eyes slightly open, thinking to himself that learning from experienced people really worked.

But why was it different from what he had seen? Why wasn't he being carried like a princess?

Meng Ci felt frustrated, wishing he had asked the boss to download some videos on how to pursue someone for reference.

It seemed he would have to figure most of it out on his own.

Otherwise, always watching Duan Yan and Chengyu might make him seem like a bad guy trying to break them up.

Shen Que helped Meng Ci into his bedroom, mindful of Meng Ci's back wound. He tried to help him lie down.

Just as he grabbed Meng Ci's shoulders, Shen Que was caught off guard and was suddenly pushed down by Meng Ci.

"Meng Ci?"

But Meng Ci didn't respond. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Shen Que's neck and breathed evenly.

Meng Ci's plan succeeded, and he felt secretly pleased. If he could sleep like this on top of Shen Que, he wondered what Shen Que's reaction would be when he woke up tomorrow.
