Of course, when it ca to toasting, he had to consider who he was with. Like with these classmates, he would definitely use those tiny cups even smaller than a baby's fist, and only one cup per table.
If it was a table with elders or people of higher status, he had to use a proper wine glass for toasting.
If he ran into a few who insisted on one-on-one drinking, the two groomsn beside him, who were there to drink on his behalf, would co in handy.
So even though there were over fifty tables, toasting table by table, Qin Zhen didn't find it too troubleso.
Once the newlyweds had finished their toasting, the banquet was already in its latter half.
This group of high school classmates began to beco lively, going around toasting each other, especially the guys who ran to the two tables of female classmates to toast, chat, and joke, creating a lively and noisy atmosphere.
By this ti, Chen Feng had eaten his fill and took this chance to sneak off to the restroom.
After leaving the restroom, Chen Feng didn't return to the banquet tent. Instead, he found a relatively quiet outdoor seat nearby and took out his phone to call Qin Zhen.
It took a while for Qin Zhen to pick up, and Chen Feng asked if he needed him to drive his granduncle and grandaunt back to Liutiao Town.
Qin Zhen said it wasn't necessary as they could catch a ride back.
This saved Chen Feng a job.
Qin Zhen was still very busy, and after discussing this, they quickly ended the call.
Only then did Chen Feng have ti to check a few WeChat ssages.
There were ssages from Guo ngyao, Fang Xiaoyue, and Zhao Zixuan asking where he had gone.
Chen Feng treated them equally and didn't reply to anyone.
Additionally, there were ssages from Wu ngting, Sun Xiaorui, and Li Liqin.
Although the three of them were bridesmaids for Pei Lei this ti, they didn't make much of an impression. They appeared when they got out of the car and went upstairs, then disappeared, probably staying in Qin Zhen's house without coming down to the banquet tent.
In fact, that was the case. The three of them, as bridesmaids, plus Pei Lei's father and a few relatives from her hotown, were considered family on the bride's side, and a separate banquet table was set up at Qin Zhen's house for them.
This arrangent suited the wishes of Pei Lei's family.
Wu ngting asked if she could visit his mother at his house after the banquet.
Chen Feng didn't reply imdiately and instead checked Sun Xiaorui's ssage, which asked when he planned to return to Xiu Zhou and if he wanted to drive back with her.
Chen Feng replied to her first: [I'm planning to go to Shen City in the next couple of days, why not co with ?]
Not long after, Sun Xiaorui replied asking: [Why are you going to Shen City?]
After Chen Feng explained the reason, she readily agreed.
Chen Feng was quite pleased with this and then took the ti to respond to Wu ngting's ssage: [You can co if you want]
Wu ngting replied instantly: [Then co ho tonight.]
Chen Feng answered honestly: [Not sure, depends on the situation]
Seeing this ssage, Wu ngting felt a bit upset and didn't feel like continuing the conversation with Chen Feng.
Finally, Chen Feng checked the ssage from Li Liqin, who also asked when he was returning to Xiu Zhou. She said she'd be leaving early the next morning and wanted to know if he'd join her.
Chen Feng felt relieved that she wasn't flirting with him, so out of politeness, he replied: [Not going back tomorrow]
Li Liqin almost imdiately responded: [Then when are you leaving?]
[Not sure, still have so things to do]
[Are you free tonight? Yujing Hotel, 12th floor, Room 1259.]
[Not free]
Finally, Li Liqin sent a crying emoji and didn't continue the conversation with Chen Feng.
So Chen Feng didn't chat further with her either. He just sat there browsing his phone and reading novels, and ti quickly went by.
When the deafening sound of firecrackers erupted from the banquet tent, it signaled the end of this lively engagent banquet.
The guests gradually left their seats and exited the tent in an orderly manner, taking with them the distributed candy boxes and a velvet quilt as they departed.
At this mont, his phone kept pinging with several new ssages. Besides Qin Zhen, they were all from won.
Qin Zhen asked if he wanted to go over to his place for a bit, but Chen Feng declined.
The rest of the ssages were pretty much the sa, asking where he was. So asked to hang out and chat, like Cheng Yuhuan, Fang Xiaoyue, and Wang Fang, while others asked if they could catch a ride with him, like Zhao Zixuan.
Since Chen Feng had promised Zhao Zixuan before, he couldn't go back on his word. So he replied, asking her to wait by the tent entrance so he could find her.
He planned to drop by ho first, and unless sothing unexpected ca up, he intended to stay ho that night and not go out again.
Chen Feng quickly walked over to the tent and saw Zhao Zixuan being bothered by Zhou Binhui.
The reason for saying Zhou Binhui was bothering her was that judging from Zhao Zixuan's expression, she seed very impatient with him.
"Chen Feng, you're here. Where's your car?"
Even before Chen Feng got close, Zhao Zixuan spotted him and imdiately waved happily at him.
Seeing Zhou Binhui's embarrassed expression, Chen Feng felt a bit awkward. It was clear he had inadvertently been identified as a rival by Zhou Binhui.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of the forr class president, so he kept walking toward them.
"My car is over there." Chen Feng pointed and asked, "Are you planning to et your classmate now?"
"Yeah." Zhao Zixuan nodded with a smile. "I haven't seen her for over two years, and I miss her a lot. If you're free, co with now."
"Alright then."
Just as Chen Feng finished speaking, Zhou Binhui laughed and said, "Why don't I join you two? I've never visited Qingpu Town, Chen Feng. Would you welco as a guest?"
"Not welco." Chen Feng shook his head seriously.
Zhou Binhui's face froze, and then Chen Feng suddenly laughed, "See, gotcha. Just pulling your leg, old class president. If you want to co, feel free to join us."
"No need." Zhao Zixuan frowned at Zhou Binhui, "I'm going to visit my college bestie at her house. Why are you tagging along?"
Zhou Binhui replied with a big grin, "I'm not tagging along with you. I just want to tour the area and have Chen Feng, my old classmate, treat ."
"I have nothing to offer you," Chen Feng bluntly replied.
Zhou Binhui laughed and walked over, attempting to pat Chen Feng on the shoulder, but Chen Feng dodged and said, "Class president, if you want to pursue Zixuan, you shouldn't be so clingy. You need a strategy."
Zhou Binhui was montarily stunned and was about to speak when Zhao Zixuan interrupted, "Chen Feng, let's go. Take to the car quickly. Stop talking nonsense here."
"Alright, you're the boss. I'll take you."
Not wanting to say much more to Zhou Binhui, Chen Feng had only said a bit more to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, believing he should now understand that he wasn't his rival.
