Chapter 231: Chapter 194: Genius and Changing Rooms

"Alright."

Feng Yao understood what they meant and turned to hand the microphone to Gao Junlin beside her. "You guys sing."

"I’ll take a song, then."

Gao Junlin stood up and took over singing from Feng Yao.

While Feng Yao was singing, Gao Junlin and the others had toasted each other frequently and had quite a bit to drink. Now, Wu Zixiang finally gave in to his impulse, picking up his glass and walking over to Su Tang.

"Care for a drink?"

Wu Zixiang flashed what he thought was a handsome smile as he walked up to Su Tang and made his offer.

"Sorry."

"My tolerance is limited."

Su Tang raised the bottle of mineral water on the table. She seemed to be smiling politely, but the message—to keep him at arm’s length—couldn’t have been more obvious.

"Er..."

"Alright, alright."

Wu Zixiang hadn’t expected Su Tang to be so proud. He had taken the initiative to approach her, yet she wouldn’t even have a single drink with him. This completely dashed his plan to smoothly ask for her WhatsApp contact afterward.

"Bro, let’s have a drink."

Wu Zixiang was a little embarrassed. Seeing that Lin Qingge and Liu Nanyi were also completely ignoring him, he turned his glass toward Gu Heng and extended the invitation to him instead.

"Sure."

Gu Heng smiled, raising his glass to clink it against Wu Zixiang’s.

But Gu Heng only took a small sip before putting his glass back down, whereas Wu Zixiang downed his entire glass.

Wu Zixiang set his glass down. When he saw that Gu Heng had barely taken a sip, his composure finally broke, and his expression turned ugly.

"Bro, we’re men here."

Wu Zixiang said with a smirk, "There’s no point in drinking beer if you’re just going to take a sip. If you don’t chug your glass after a toast, can you even call yourself a man?"

"Oh?"

"Is that how you guys in the physical education department tell who the men are?"

Gu Heng feigned a look of surprise. "That’s a rather peculiar standard."

"You..."

Faced with Gu Heng’s merciless comeback, Wu Zixiang grew even more furious. But as a man of brawn, he was never good with words and was left completely speechless.

"Impressive!"

Wu Zixiang nodded, gave Gu Heng a sarcastic thumbs-up, and stormed back to his seat.

"You think he’s going to go over there and badmouth me?"

Gu Heng paid Wu Zixiang no mind. After the other man stormed away, Gu Heng turned to Liu Nanyi and asked with a smile.

"Looks like he already is."

Liu Nanyi glanced over at Wu Zixiang and his friends before replying in a low voice.

"Sigh..."

"This is getting a little dull."

"Weren’t you going to let me touch your feet?"

"So when do I get to?"

Gu Heng teased, raising an eyebrow at Liu Nanyi.

"I..."

"I did!"

"I did promise you!"

"But... but how am I supposed to let you do that here!"

Recalling her earlier promise, Liu Nanyi’s face flushed slightly, but she tried to sound composed as she replied.

"Then let’s go somewhere else,"

Gu Heng continued, teasing her.

"Where would we go?"

Liu Nanyi’s face grew redder as her voice became even quieter.

"To another private room~"

Gu Heng replied.

"But I thought they said it was full?"

Liu Nanyi whispered, "Are there any rooms left?"

"There is if I say so."

Gu Heng pulled out his phone and opened a dedicated app developed for the Xingchuan International Group. Using his director-level access, he found the manager of the Roar Hall Hongqi Street Store and sent them a few messages.

"Let’s go."

"We have a place."

"You can leave your coat here."

Gu Heng said to Liu Nanyi, putting his phone away.

"Okay~"

Liu Nanyi replied shyly.

Soon, they both stood up.

Gu Heng led the way out of the room. Just as Liu Nanyi was about to follow, Su Tang quickly grabbed her wrist. "Yiyi, where are you two going?" she asked.

"Just a little something."

"We’ll be back in a bit."

Liu Nanyi was, of course, too embarrassed to tell Su Tang the truth—that she was going with Gu Heng to fulfill her promise about her feet—so she could only offer a vague excuse.

"Alright."

"Come back soon."

"It’s kind of chaotic here, so be careful."

Su Tang had already noticed Gu Heng and Liu Nanyi whispering. Now, seeing Liu Nanyi’s blushing face, her own imagination began to run wild, but she couldn’t bring herself to say anything more.

"Uh-huh."

"Don’t worry."

Liu Nanyi nodded, giving Su Tang a reassuring look before following Gu Heng out of the room...
