Chapter 137: Chapter 137: You’ve Learned to Drink?

The dice game was Fu Jun’s idea. Xu Su vaguely remembered the rules from her past life, but she was terrible at it.

Every loss meant taking a penalty drink. Since they were all classmates, most people just took a small sip. But she acted as if possessed by an alcoholic, chugging her drinks every time.

Xi Zirong finally couldn’t watch anymore. After Xu Su had already finished two bottles of beer, she lost again. Just as she was about to take her penalty drink, Xi Zirong stopped her, took her cup, and downed it in one gulp for her.

Then he sat down next to Xu Su to help her play.

The other classmates: …

’We know you two are a couple, but do you have to be so blatant with the PDA?!’

Xu Su was speechless for a moment. ’Why does this guy love using the same cup as me so much?’

With Xi Zirong joining in, Xu Su never lost again. He could calculate the numbers in everyone else’s hands every single time.

Xu Su wanted to wait for him to lose so she could have a drink, but she waited until she was getting thirsty and it still didn’t happen.

Finally, she couldn’t resist. She stealthily poured herself a drink. Just as she was about to pick it up, Xi Zirong grabbed her hand mid-air. He opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her. “If you’re thirsty, drink water. Susu, be good.”

His gaze was still fixed elsewhere, but it was as if he had an extra set of eyes, always able to spot Xu Su’s every move.

Huang Feng, watching from the side, snickered. Xu Su was speechless for a moment before taking the already opened bottle of water and taking a couple of small sips.

’Why do I have to be controlled even when my boyfriend is the same age as me?’

When she was with Zhou Mochen, he loved to control everything she did. It was the same now with Xi Zirong.

It was a rare chance to have a drink, and he still had to watch her like a hawk.

Xu Su was getting a little annoyed. She rested her chin on her hand and watched them play for a few more rounds. Finally, the alcohol she had drunk began to take effect.

The second she stood up, Xi Zirong stood up too. “Where are you going?”

“…” Xu Su shot him a helpless look. “I’m going to the bathroom.”

’Why does he always look like he’s afraid I’ll run away?’

That was, in fact, exactly what Xi Zirong was thinking. Zhou Dongdong had just gone into the private room’s restroom, so if Xu Su wanted to go, she’d have to use the one outside.

He grabbed Xu Su’s hand and said in a deep voice, “I’ll go with you.”

The sound of their classmates trying to stifle their laughter came from nearby. Xu Su’s face burned with embarrassment.

She shook off Xi Zirong’s hand. “You’re even following me to the bathroom? Xi Zirong, I’m eighteen, not eight! Are you afraid I’ll get lost?”

Xi Zirong pressed his lips together. Thinking that this was a respectable establishment and there wouldn’t be any danger, he didn’t insist. He only reminded her, “Then take your phone. If you get lost outside, ask an attendant.”

Xu Su could finally get out and catch her breath. She felt that the longer she was with Xi Zirong, the more controlling he became.

He was the same age as her, but he acted like some stuffy old official. Xu Su felt a surge of resentment.

She left the room and started following the signs to find the restroom.

The entire fourth floor of the Junyue Hotel was dedicated to KTV. The private rooms were arranged in a circle, like a maze. Xu Su walked in several circles but still couldn’t find it.

After finally spotting an attendant and asking for directions, she went around in two more circles before at last seeing the “WC” sign. Xu Su, who was about to burst, felt her eyes light up. As she walked toward the restroom, her wrist was grabbed.

Only after grabbing her did Zhou Mochen dare to believe his eyes. “Xu Su? What are you doing here?”

Having chugged two bottles of beer and spent so long looking for the restroom, Xu Su was at her breaking point. She wasn’t even that surprised to see Zhou Mochen, who was supposed to be in Beijing.

After struggling twice without breaking free from his iron grip, Xu Su couldn’t help but plead, “Let go of me, Zhou Mochen! I have to go to the bathroom! Stop pulling me.”

Zhou Mochen froze for a second, then steered her toward a private room beside them. As he pulled the door open, Xu Su saw several people sitting on the sofas inside the dimly lit room. In a corner, a man and a woman were even kissing, and the girl was barely dressed.

Xu Su thought she was seeing things because of the alcohol. Just as she was about to take a closer look, a hand covered her eyes. Zhou Mochen turned her face toward the room’s private restroom. “Go in. There’s no one inside. Don’t be afraid, I’ll stand guard out here.”

“…”

Xu Su’s slightly fuzzy mind suddenly recalled that she might have seen someone she knew in the room…

After she dawdled in the restroom and dawdled while washing her hands, she opened the door to see Zhou Mochen leaning casually against the wall. The lights in the room had all been turned on, a stark contrast to the dimness from when she had first entered.

The kissing couple in the corner had long since separated. In fact, it seemed like there were fewer people in the room now.

Before she had time to think, Zhou Mochen grabbed her wrist and pushed her one step back into the restroom.

He then followed her inside and shut the door behind him.

“You’ve been drinking?”

Zhou Mochen leaned in to get a better look at her. Although Xu Su’s eyes were barely maintaining their focus, her face was flushed, and she reeked of alcohol. She was at least half-drunk.

A drunk little girl wandering around a place like this by herself… Zhou Mochen’s eyes darkened. “Tell me, why are you here?”

Suddenly pushed into the restroom by him and hearing his interrogation, Xu Su’s head cleared a little. She abruptly realized just how terrifying it was to run into Zhou Mochen here.

She was at a loss, her drunken mind reacting sluggishly.

Before she could figure out how to answer, the phone in her pocket began to vibrate.

Before Xu Su could react, Zhou Mochen reached into her coat pocket and pulled out her phone.

The moment it was in his hand, Zhou Mochen realized it wasn’t the phone he had given her.

He looked at the screen expressionlessly. The caller ID read, ’My Dearest Fengfeng.’

“Huang Feng?”

Xu Su snatched the phone back into her own hands, saying angrily, “Why are you messing with other people’s phones? Zhou Mochen, who did you think was calling me?”

Zhou Mochen’s expression was grim. He reached out and cupped Xu Su’s face. “Are you drunk? Xu Su, how dare you come to a place like this by yourself and get this wasted?”

Xu Su blinked a couple of times and retorted a beat too slow, “I’m not drunk. And I didn’t come by myself. My classmates are here.”

He scoffed, “A bunch of high school kids, learning to drink?”

“It’s not my first time drinking. Zhou Mochen, last time at your place, you gave me a drink too. You know my tolerance is pretty good.”

The girl’s already beautiful face was tinged with a rosy blush from the alcohol. Even the sound of his own name coming from her lips was exceptionally pleasant.

Zhou Mochen’s gaze slowly changed as his thumb caressed Xu Su’s lips.

’I want to kiss her…’

But the important matter wasn’t settled yet. Zhou Mochen leaned his head forward, resting his forehead against Xu Su’s, and coaxed her slowly, “How much did you drink? Susu, I let you drink because I was there to take you home safely. That doesn’t mean you can drink on your own outside.”

Xu Su could no longer hear his words clearly. She had been drinking, and while she hadn’t felt it in the warm private room, the cold air outside when she went to find the restroom had muddled her head. After being interrogated by Zhou Mochen for so long, her thoughts had turned to complete mush.
