Seeing Duan Xi not saying anything, he continued, "Xiaoxi, you’re turning 18 in July, right? It’s less than a month away, how about we have a little celebration?"
"Actually..." Duan Xi hadn’t answered yet when Jiaojiao puffed her cheeks. She actually felt that in this kind of place, perhaps she shouldn’t drink milk, maybe they could get her so beer instead.
"What’s up?" Ruan Lei looked over, "Want so fruits?"
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.
She thought about it and silently swallowed her words, better not say it after all, in case her family slled it when she got ho, she’d be busted.
Ruan Lei took her hesitant expression as wanting fruits and ordered a fruit platter and so seeds.
After ordering the items, the hall manager left.
Outside the door, Ruan Jie, Ruan Chi, and Lu Xian were leaning against the door of a private room diagonally opposite. The hall manager saw them and assud they needed sothing, so he imdiately approached.
"What did the people inside order?" Lu Xian leaned against the door fra, with one hand in his pocket, asking with a smirk.
They were frequent visitors to this dance hall, so the manager knew them well, and imdiately replied, "A few young masters ordered beer, baijiu, and so fruit snacks, oh, and milk." Actually, the dance hall didn’t have milk, but since the custor wanted it, they could temporarily buy so.
Ruan Chi pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and gave a light smile to Ruan Jie and Lu Xian, "Not bad, they know what to do."
Both nodded, of course, it’s one thing to bring Ruan Jiaojiao to this dance hall, but to actually give her alcohol here, those guys would need a good talking to.
"Alright, get it ready then," Lu Xian slightly raised his chin, indicating the manager could leave.
After the manager left, the three of them didn’t go inside, but continued leaning outside as before.
Lu Xian took a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the other two. Ruan Chi declined, he studied law and avoided both smoking and drinking, but Ruan Jie was different. Though he studied national defense, during breaks from training, the most common activity was having so drinks with his comrades and discussing life.
He took one, lit it, and exhaled a smoke ring.
"So, have you figured out what to do next?" Lu Xian asked Ruan Jie.
They were almost seniors in college. Lu Xian was studying business managent and had already started learning to manage his family’s business, Ruan Chi studied law and had started interning and taking cases, but Ruan Jie hadn’t decided his next step.
Ruan Jie originally chose to study national defense not just because he was suited for it, but also because soone needed to continue Old Master Shu’s legacy.
But it was evident that Ruan Hao wasn’t suitable; he took over Jianguo’s business, so naturally, Ruan Jie had to take on Old Master Shu’s duties.
Years of military training had honed his soldier’s resolve; now hearing Lu Xian’s question, he looked up with a resolute gaze, not answering but asking back, "Are you and Shen Wenxiang together? If you’re gonna get married, do it sooner rather than later; if you wait for , you probably won’t catch it."
By asking, he indirectly answered Lu Xian’s question.
Lu Xian and Ruan Chi instantly understood, but Lu Xian imdiately smirked, "Don’t talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with her."
"Nothing to do, yet she’s eagerly following to take the exam at Ye University?" Ruan Chi laughed.
During the year they took college entrance exams, Shen Wenxiang was in their sa cohort but didn’t score well enough for top-tier universities, so she repeated a year and applied for Ye University.
