While Zhan Dundun initiated the gathering, Shen Wenhui still felt unsettled, so she spent the entire evening recounting Liu Nanfeng's embarrassing childhood stories to Su Huamei.
The key was that Su Huamei also enjoyed them, which made Shen Wenhui even more animated. Zhan Dundun would even chime in with a sentence or two from the side.
Therefore, the dinner gathering was very successful. Except for Liu Nan, everyone was happy, and laughter was constant.
They started at six in the evening and didn't finish until ten-thirty.
They drank two cases of beer, and the skewers for the grilled items were piled up like a small mountain. When the bill came, it was nearly two thousand yuan.
"That much?" Zhan Dundun was a little surprised.
"What, do you think I'm trying to swindle you?" Zhang Xinwu's face darkened.
"No, no, I just find it a bit surprising," Zhan Dundun quickly replied. He knew Zhang Xinwu's character and knew he wouldn't swindle him for such a small amount of money.
"It's about right. You were all too busy talking, and I was too busy eating. Before I knew it, I had eaten quite a bit," Liu Nanfeng said, pointing to the trash next to him. A whole trash can was filled with bamboo skewers.
"You really can eat." Even though he had agreed to pay, Zhan Dundun felt a pang of regret.
"I'll pay," Su Huamei said with a smile and picked up her phone.
"No, no, if I let you pay, wouldn't that be like slapping me in the face?" Zhan Dundun quickly stopped her and then promptly paid the bill.
Liu Nanfeng didn't care; they had told so many of his embarrassing stories tonight.
Patting his stomach, he stood up and said, "I'm about eight parts full. Consider it settled. Huamei, let's go home."
"Okay." Su Huamei picked up the rose next to her and followed Liu Nanfeng's steps. m..oΓg
"Let's go, we'll get together again next time," Liu Nanfeng waved his hand without looking back.
"You're treating next time," Zhan Dundun shouted.
"Okay."
"And..."
"What else?"
"Your pose isn't cool at all." Zhan Dundun shouted.
"Ha..." Liu Nanfeng was about to say more, but Su Huamei stepped forward and linked her arm through his.
He turned his head back and laughed loudly, "Is it cool or not? You decide. I'm single, woof woof..."
"Damn..."
Seeing Liu Nanfeng and Su Huamei disappear into the darkness, Zhan Dundun muttered and put on his helmet.
Then he turned to Shen Wenhui, who was standing there silently, and asked, "Do you think he's cool?"
His entire face was hidden behind the helmet, making it impossible to discern his expression.
"No, he's like a clown. I really don't understand what Sister Su likes about him," Shen Wenhui mumbled, also putting on her helmet.
"Let's go, I'll give you a ride home." Although Zhan Dundun was muttering, he agilely mounted the motorcycle.
"Brother Xinwu, goodbye, we'll come again next time."
"Okay, drive safely on the road," Zhang Xinwu said without looking up from his busy work.
Zhan Dundun didn't delay. He said to Shen Wenhui, who had gotten on behind him, "Are you ready?"
"Mm," Shen Wenhui replied.
Zhan Dundun opened his mouth, intending to tell her to hold on tightly, but he hesitated and ultimately said nothing. He just started the engine and slowly drove away.
Just then, a pair of hands embraced him from behind, and a face pressed against his back.
"Dundun..."
"Mm?"
"I just wanted to call out to you."
"Oh."
"Do you still remember that summer when you and Liu Shuzhi secretly drank my soda?"
"Soda?" Zhan Dundun vaguely remembered something like that.
"Was it the soda from the factory?" Zhan Dundun asked.
"Yes, it was the soda that came in beer bottles," Shen Wenhui said in a low voice.
Liu Nanfeng's parents and Shen Wenhui's parents worked at the same factory. Every summer, the factory would distribute soda. Since they were a dual-income family, they would get about a hundred tickets.
With the tickets, they could go to the factory's cold storage to collect the soda. The soda was produced by the factory itself and bottled in green glass bottles.
Therefore, the children of the factory workers eagerly awaited summer, because summer meant they could drink soda to their heart's content.
Zhan Dundun's parents were migrant workers, so they didn't have this benefit. However, due to their relationship with Liu Nanfeng, they also got to "borrow" quite a bit every summer.
But for those two growing boys...
They were always hungry and thirsty. A hundred bottles of soda were far too little for them over the summer.
To teach the two little rascals a lesson, she had deliberately mixed a bottle of her father's liquor into several bottles of soda.
As a result, the two boys fell into her trap and got drunk.
"Ah, right..." Speaking of getting drunk, Zhan Dundun finally remembered that there was such an incident.
"And you drew a big turtle on Liu Nanfeng's face with a marker, didn't you?" Zhan Dundun laughed heartily.
Shen Wenhui, leaning against his back, didn't respond, only giving a low "Mm."
Zhan Dundun, oblivious to Shen Wenhui's somber mood, continued with a smile, "Because of that, he was mocked for a long time. Of course, he was most upset about why you didn't draw on my face..."
As he reached this point, Zhan Dundun suddenly jolted, his body stiffening. However, Shen Wenhui, who was embracing him, seemed completely unaware.
Zhan Dundun jolted because... when a demon gets drunk, it reveals its true form. And what Shen Wenhui was saying...
At this moment, Zhan Dundun's mind was in turmoil, filled with anxiety. He wanted to ask, but swallowed his words back. A silence fell between them, broken only by the roar of the motorcycle.
Zhan Dundun's attention was also drawn away. He finally pressed the accelerator and sped off.
...
"Why didn't you tell Boss Zhang directly? Instead, you told him to find the Dragon King or Department Nine?" Su Huamei asked, a little confused, on the way back.
"Because the Dragon King has the strength and status."
"What about Department Nine?"
"Department Nine has national righteousness."
Su Huamei showed a look of realization.
Liu Nanfeng continued, "Boss Zhang is shrewd despite his rough exterior. He's generous and has great strength. Whether he finds the Dragon King or Department Nine, he will definitely be invited to join the fight against the wasteland beasts, and he will definitely agree."
"And I didn't say anything. Even if I told him, it's hard to say if he would believe me."
Su Huamei covered her mouth and said, "You're so wicked."
"Haha..." Liu Nanfeng burst into laughter.
"No, are you sure Boss Zhang will go find the Dragon King and Department Nine to ask?" Su Huamei asked again.
"It doesn't matter. If he goes, we gain a powerful ally against the wasteland beasts. If he doesn't, we don't lose anything. Besides, I suspect he will go because Boss Zhang is a very curious person."
"Why do you say that?" Su Huamei asked, a little confused.
"Don't you know that monkeys are naturally curious? Even though he has transformed, his monkey nature is hard to change. So, I bet he will go and ask."
Su Huamei was completely convinced now. She leaned her head on Liu Nanfeng's shoulder and laughed heartily, calling him a bad person.
