After sending the ssage, Chen Feng didn't just wait around; he started replying to ssages from Wu ngting and the others.
He explained that he had been drinking with friends, got drunk, stayed in a hotel, just sobered up, and still had a headache, so he wouldn't be returning ho tonight.
Upon receiving the ssage, Wu ngting imdiately sent him a video call. This made Chen Feng feel a bit annoyed, like he was being checked on, but he understood it might be because she cared about him being drunk, so he answered the call.
"Why did you get drunk? Are you not aware of your own health condition?"
As soon as the call connected, Wu ngting questioned angrily.
Chen Feng understood she was concerned, so he wasn't angry, and he replied with a smile: "I just couldn't refuse his enthusiasm. You know, Northeastern people drink fiercely. Anyway, he had it worse; he got more drunk than I did."
"Was it the one we t last ti?" Wu ngting inquired.
Chen Feng nodded along: "Yes, it was that Northeastern buddy from last ti."
They were talking about Yuan Daan, whom Chen Feng had coincidentally bumped into last ti while he was with Wu ngting and Sun Xiaorui at East Lake. Wu ngting rembered him.
"You really are sothing. Knowing how intense he drinks, you still foolishly compete with him. You don't take care of your own body; it makes very angry."
Chen Feng was suffering from a terminal illness, even though there were signs of improvent, the disease hadn't completely gone away. Normally, he shouldn't be drinking.
Now hearing Chen Feng say he got drunk, Wu ngting, who knew the situation, was genuinely upset and had good reason to be.
Chen Feng regretted choosing the wrong excuse but could only pull a face and say: "My fault, I definitely won't do it next ti. Might as well quit drinking altogether."
Wu ngting imdiately said: "That's your word, right? What's good about drinking? Just quit taking this lesson seriously. I'll supervise you in the future."
Chen Feng already didn't drink much, so he nodded agreeably with a smile: "Fine, in the future, you and Li Rui can supervise ."
Wu ngting reminded: "The engagent party of Qin Zhen is coming up soon. Isn't he asking you to be a groomsman?"
Chen Feng shook his head imdiately: "He initially invited to be a groomsman, but I refused. After all, I've been divorced, it's not auspicious."
Wu ngting was sowhat pleased: "That's good then, you won't have to cover drinks for him, and you shouldn't drink. I'll supervise you then."
"You're going too?" Chen Feng was a bit surprised.
Wu ngting naturally replied: "Of course, Pei Lei invited to be a bridesmaid, and she invited Little Rui too."
Chen Feng almost forgot about this, so he asked: "Little Rui is going too?"
"Of course, going together. Plus, her master will also be a bridesmaid, making three of us altogether."
According to the customs over in Lu City, engagents also have bridesmaids, usually two or three. When it cos to weddings, there are even more bridesmaids, typically nine, symbolizing longevity, and adding the bride makes ten, symbolizing perfection.
Though, it ultimately depends on the financial strength of the two families.
But seeing Pei Lei getting the three won related to him to go as bridesmaids, Chen Feng felt a bit uneasy about attending Pei Lei and Qin Zhen's engagent banquet, especially since it would be held at their hotown.
Particularly with Pei Lei's master Li Liqin, if she caused trouble at his old hotown, it could be quite a headache for him.
Moreover, if Sun Xiaorui wanted to see his parents at his ho then, it would pose so trouble, yet he couldn't object or it would hurt her feelings.
"So it seems Qin Zhen will have to find three groomsn to cover drinks for him. No need for to step in."
Chen Feng said in a deliberately relaxed tone.
"Yeah, he has many friends, won't struggle to find a few to handle the drinking. When the ti cos, rember not to drink, keep your word."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll definitely keep my word. Alright, enough talking; my head's still a bit dizzy; gotta continue sleeping."
"Do you want to co pick you up?"
"No need to trouble you. I'll head back tomorrow."
"Alright then. Have a good rest."
Through the video, Wu ngting could clearly see that Chen Feng was indeed in a hotel room, and alone.
So she didn't have much more to say to him.
After ending the video call, Chen Feng finally had ti to look at the ssage from Zhang Jingwen.
[Sorry, but I've already inford my family. They have a good impression of you. How about helping out, just pretend to be my boyfriend?]
[I can't help with that. Just tell your family the truth, say we're not a good match, or simply say you caught with another woman, so you won't date .]
Zhang Jingwen, seeing Chen Feng's suggestion, angrily thumped the sofa several tis.
She had been quite confident, thinking even if Chen Feng didn't fall for her charm, he would still have a good opinion, especially since just yesterday the two had been so affectionate, as sweet as could be. Just for this reason alone, Chen Feng ought to give her face and pretend to be her boyfriend to visit her family for a al, but Chen Feng was so ruthless.
This made her feel unable to accept.
She dearly wanted to send a voice ssage scolding him, but in the end didn't dare, and could only angrily send him a crying emoji.
Chen Feng directly ignored it, put down his phone and got out of bed, ran so water, and then went to take a shower.
After coming out of the bathroom, his stomach was growling with hunger.
He put on his clothes again, planning to go downstairs to the restaurant to eat.
The restaurant of the hotel is on the 11th floor, featuring a Western restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, a café, and a buffet.
Chen Feng decisively chose the buffet restaurant, since he was starving, and was too lazy to wait, he could eat to his heart's content imdiately, which was quite cost-effective.
His common man nature was difficult to change.
Chen Feng ate heartily, definitely getting his money's worth with over two hundred RMB dining recouped full.
While enjoying his al, suddenly, a pleasant scent wafted over, and he saw two won standing in front of his table. One taller, looking around twenty-five or twenty-six, and the shorter with a college student deanor.
According to societal standards, both were very pretty, with typical influencer faces, fair skin, slim waist, and long legs.
"Excuse us, may we sit here?"
The taller woman asked sweetly in a soft voice, slightly bending her head and body, with the tight wrap of her white long-sleeved T-shirt across her chest looking full and prominent.
Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but quickly shift his gaze, scanned around, and rapidly pointed at an empty table about ten ters away, saying: "That table is empty, you can sit over there."
The two won clearly didn't expect such a response from Chen Feng, and were montarily speechless.
Still, the taller woman spoke again: "That table hasn't been cleared yet."
Chen Feng replied expressionlessly: "Then ask the staff to clear it. I'm used to eating alone and don't want to share a table with strangers."
The two won: "..."
