Several people went to Haidilao in a lively manner.
They requested a private room, and before the dishes were served, Xue Meng ordered some wine, boasting that he would get Jiang Lan drunk.
Xiao Xiaoyu looked at him as if he were a mentally retarded child: “Last time when we ate crayfish, you drank too much and it was Jiang Lan who brought you back.”
But Xue Meng only remembered eating and not being beaten, and his self-confidence was very inflated.
He opened the wine generously, but after a round of drinking, others were still sitting steadily at the table eating tripe, but he had already drunk enough to sink under the table.
Xiao Xiaoyu next to him pushed him onto the sofa with disgust.
The dinner was hosted by Jiang Lan and Ying Qiao, and both of them had to drink. Jiang Lan was just being retaliated against by Xue Meng. On the other hand, Ying Qiao and Zhang Tianxing were competing with each other for some reason. They didn’t say much, but they drank together and emptied a lot of bottles.
Suan Ni was full and had nothing to do, so he started counting the wine bottles beside them, making it like a competition.
Jiang Lan pulled back the angry Suan Ni, looked at the two men who remained calm, and said, “Why don’t we eat something first?”
Ying Qiao said “hmm”, put down the wine glass, and looked at Zhang Tianxing with a smug look: “Then I won’t drink it.”
Zhang Tianxing put down his wine glass, looked expressionless, and said “hmm” in a deep voice. Then he sat aside without saying anything.
Suan Ni tilted its head, jumped lightly onto his shoulder with its paws, touched his face with its paws curiously, and then widened its eyes.
So hot!
Jiang Lan shared some of the beef he had scooped up with Ying Qiao, muttering, “Why haven’t I seen you and Ku Ge get along so well before?”
Ying Qiao ate the meat silently, thinking pettily: Who can get along with him?
Next time I will make sure to make him drink to death.
Only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart.
….
The dinner ended at almost midnight.
Because everyone was drunk, some took taxis, while others called for designated drivers.
Jiang Lan stuffed Xue Meng into a taxi and sent Xiao Xiaoyu away. Just as he was thinking about bringing Suan Ni back and saying goodbye to Zhang Tianxing, he discovered that the cool guy who had always looked sober… was actually drunk.
He held Suan Ni in his arms, and as soon as Jiang Lan reached out his hand, he frowned and backed away, looking like he was going to snatch the cat.
Jiang Lan: …
He turned to Ying Qiao and said, “Don’t look for a designated driver, call another taxi.”
Ying Qiao stopped the car and saw Jiang Lan forcibly snatching Suan Ni from Zhang Tianxing’s arms, and then roughly stuffing the frowning and silent Zhang Tianxing into the back seat.
He looked refreshed, and silently mouthed to Zhang Tianxing who was looking out the window: “Rookie.”
….
After seeing everyone off, Jiang Lan called a designated driver to go home, and Ying Qiao naturally went with him.
Although they had never formally talked about living together, Ying Qiao now felt as natural going to Jiang Lan’s house as going back to his own home.
Haidilao was quite some distance away from their residential complex. Jiang Lan had drunk quite a bit of wine, and although he wasn’t drunk, he was a bit lazy and didn’t want to move under the influence of alcohol. He just wanted to take a shower and roll around with his tail in his arms after returning home.
He squinted his eyes comfortably, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure passing by the car window.
His eyelids jumped and he lowered the car window to look into the dark alley entrance to make sure that the figure that flashed by was not his illusion.
“Stop here.”
He hurriedly stopped the designated driver, said hello to Ying Qiao, opened the car door and headed straight for the alley across the street.
It was already early in the morning, and except for a few shops that sold late-night snacks, most of the shops had closed for the day. There were fewer vehicles on the road, and the alleys were even quieter and deserted. Even if a group of adults were beating up a child, no one would notice.
Four or five people had gathered in the narrow alley. They looked like hooligans in society.
Jiang Chi looked even more miserable than he had during the day. He was like a stubborn wolf cub. Even though he knew he couldn’t win and was covered in wounds, he still got up from the ground and pounced fiercely on the gangsters.
The gang leader standing in the back was holding a dirty cloth bag in his hand and teased Jiang Chi with a smile: “I’m standing here, come and rob me if you have the guts.”
Jiang Chi wiped his face and pounced on him without hesitation.
The three hooligans blocking the way blocked his way. One of them lifted him up by his hair and tried to pry off the horn on his forehead with his hands: “This horn looks weird. I don’t know if I can sell it for some money if I break it off.”
Another person laughed at him: “If it could be sold for money, someone else would have sold it long ago. How could it be your turn?”
Jiang Chi growled softly, and when the other party was not prepared, he pounced on him fiercely and bit his nose. The man who grabbed him let go with a cry of pain, but Jiang Chi still bit him tightly, and was so strong that he bit off a piece of the other party’s nose. The gangster who had his nose bitten rolled on the ground in pain, and his companion’s face changed, and he took out a folding fruit knife with a gloomy expression: “Little bast**d, you are looking for death!”
Jiang Chi spat out a mouthful of blood foam, his eyes still fierce and fearless, he rushed towards the gang leader at the back with a clear goal.
The gang leader sneered and threw the black cloth bag into a trash can in the distance. Then he tied Jiang Chi’s hands and pressed him face down on the ground: “You dare to hurt my brother, you little bast**d, you can’t even have your nose anymore.”
Jiang Chi gritted his teeth and struggled hard. His wide open, red eyes showed only ferocity and rebelliousness, but not a trace of fear.
Even the gang leader was bitten on the foot by him when he was not paying attention.
He kicked Jiang Chi in anger and was about to take out a knife to teach him a lesson, but his hand holding the knife was firmly held by someone and he could not move it down an inch.
Jiang Lan arrived just in time and snatched the knife from his hand, and cut off his arm. Amid the gang leader’s painful wails, he slapped his face with the stolen fruit knife and sneered, “What’s the big deal about bullying a child? You’re so powerful, how about I send you to the police station to practice with the police comrades?”
