After Su Yang finished his song and no one else stepped up to sing for the moment, everyone poured themselves a drink and clinked glasses.
After chatting for a while, He Yuqing started picking songs and singing too.
She was decent at singing, though a notch below Hong Ran.
Just as she was in the middle of a song, the door to the private room was knocked on again.
"Come in," Su Yang called out, turning his head.
With a click, the door swung open, and another strikingly beautiful girl walked in.
Qin Su immediately put down her phone, stood up, and waved: "There you are, Jingjing."
The newcomer was none other than Qin Su’s friend Liu Wenjing.
The way this girl was dressed made Su Yang’s eyes light up. She had her black hair tied up in a high bun, a delicate face with finely chiseled features, and slightly upturned eyes that gave her a subtle phoenix-eye look.
She was dressed entirely in black — a one-shoulder loose top with her right shoulder exposed, paired with black high-waisted shorts hidden under the top, and black low-heeled Mary Janes on her feet.
On top of all that, she was wearing extremely sexy over-the-knee strap stockings.
That outfit, combined with her alluring face, gave her some serious femme-fatale energy.
— System.
[Liu Wenjing, Age: 22]
[Height: 165cm]
[Weight: 48kg]
[Looks: 90]
[Figure: 90]
[Relationship count: 1, Single]
[Battle count: 1]
[Traits: Outgoing personality, into handsome guys, very flirty, with a bit of a seductress vibe]
— Damn, called it!
— Double 90s, that’s seriously stacked!
"Susu~ Sister Ranran." Liu Wenjing acknowledged them with a greeting and walked over.
She had already caught a glimpse of Su Yang when she walked in, and she hadn’t expected the guy Qin Su had mentioned to be this ridiculously good-looking.
"Jingjing, that outfit you’re wearing today is pretty spicy," Hong Ran said with a grin, looking her up and down.
"Not really," Liu Wenjing replied with a cheerful smile, holding a small white bag with both hands.
"Jingjing, come here, let me introduce you." Qin Su pulled Liu Wenjing over to Su Yang and He Yuqing and introduced them one by one.
After the introduction to He Yuqing, Liu Wenjing turned to Su Yang, nodded, and smiled: "So this handsome guy is the one who helped you win the street race?"
Qin Su nodded: "Yeah, thanks to him I won the race, so He Peng won’t be bothering me anymore."
"So tonight is actually a celebration for you, huh?"
"Sort of. Anyway, we’re all just hanging out together. Two more girls are coming later."
"More girls?" Liu Wenjing turned her head.
"Yeah, they’re Su Yang’s friends."
"Nice." Liu Wenjing then looked at Su Yang and extended her hand: "Hi Su Yang, let me formally introduce myself. I’m Liu Wenjing, Susu’s best friend since we were kids."
Su Yang shook her hand: "Hi hi, I’m Susu’s new friend."
"No worries. New friend or old friend, once we’ve met, we’re all friends. You can call me Jingjing or Wenjing, just like Susu does."
"Got it."
"Since we’re friends now, we definitely need to add each other on socials." Liu Wenjing flashed Su Yang a sweet smile.
Hearing that, He Yuqing suddenly realized she hadn’t done that either. She stepped forward and chimed in: "Right, I totally forgot about that. Let’s all add each other on WeChat."
"Sure." Su Yang picked up his phone from the table and added both new friends.
After the brief introductions, everyone sat back down. Hong Ran poured drinks and called out to the group: "Alright, alright, friends, let’s all do a toast."
"Cheers." The others poured their drinks, clinked glasses, and downed them.
"We still have two more missing. Once they get here, we officially start drinking," Hong Ran said to the group.
"Aren’t we already drinking?" He Yuqing asked.
"This is just a warm-up. When everyone’s here, we’ll play games and really get into it. Today marks an end to something big for Susu, and on top of that, I’ve met a great friend like Su Yang. I’m psyched, so tonight we’re all drinking for real!" Hong Ran stood up and declared excitedly.
"Sister Hong, how are you already sounding a little tipsy when you’ve barely had anything?" Qin Su laughed.
"Tipsy? Do you even know my tolerance? Everyone else might get drunk, but never me."
Qin Su nodded: "That’s true. Your alcohol tolerance is kinda insane."
"So today I’m going to supervise all of you. Nobody leaves until you’re drunk!"
Su Yang laughed: "Ranran, that doesn’t add up. If everyone gets drunk, how’re we supposed to leave?"
"Uh, well, I won’t be drunk. I’ll take care of all of you. Don’t worry, I won’t sell you off."
"Haha, you’re really that good at holding your liquor?" Su Yang asked.
Hong Ran shot him a smug smile: "Well, since my college days up till today, I’ve never been drunk once."
"That’s impressive?"
"Honestly, it’s not that I’m amazing. It’s just that my opponents are all too weak." Hong Ran pouted, shrugged, and smiled confidently.
That was a bold claim. Liu Wenjing heard it and shot back: "Ranran, I think your record’s about to be broken today."
"Oh? How so?"
"You’ve never been drunk in all these years, right?"
"That’s right."
Liu Wenjing popped a grape into her mouth and blinked: "Because you’ve never met me."
"Seriously? Jingjing, since when did you get so cocky? It’s not like I’ve never drunk with you before." Hong Ran laughed, not fully convinced.
Liu Wenjing tilted her head: "That time I wasn’t feeling well, so I drank less and you just assumed I couldn’t handle my liquor. Today I’m at full strength. Wanna have a showdown later?"
"Fine by me! It’s rare I get a real opponent!" Hong Ran got up and walked toward Liu Wenjing.
Listening to the two of them go back and forth, Su Yang silently smiled to himself.
By now, Hong Ran and Liu Wenjing were deep in conversation, while He Yuqing and Qin Su were singing. Su Yang sat by the door and took a quick breather.
Two minutes later, his phone screen lit up. Chen Yuxi had sent a message.
"Brother Su Yang, we’re almost there."
"Got it. Room 808 on the second floor. You two are the last ones."
"Everyone’s here already?"
"Yeah."
"Then are we coming too late?"
"It’s fine, not like we’re clocking in for work. Just come on up."
"Okay, we’re in the lobby now."
"Perfect."
Su Yang put his phone away just as He Yuqing and Qin Su finished their song.
A minute later, Chen Yuxi and Lin Chuxia appeared at the door.
Chen Yuxi was wearing a Bulma-themed outfit tonight that really turned heads.
She had her hair tied into cute twin tails, a blue Dragon Ball–themed baseball cap on her head, an orange off-shoulder tube top, a pair of brown-washed denim shorts, and Converse Dragon Ball–branded sneakers that matched her top. The whole look was casual and athletic with a playful edge.
Lin Chuxia also had her hair in a bun tonight, with a pair of round, thin-rimmed glasses on her face.
She wore a campus-style short-sleeved brown shirt, a pure black pleated mini skirt, black Mary Janes, and over-the-knee black tights.
Her style was completely different from Chen Yuxi’s — pure Japanese kawaii schoolgirl JK vibe.
'Holy crap, these two are killing it. Every girl tonight is dressed to impress, no cap!' Su Yang thought to himself.
"Hey there, we meet again, Brother Su Yang." The two of them walked into the private room and greeted Su Yang with a smile as they passed him by the door.
"Yeah, we meet again. You two are dressed pretty sharp today."
"Are we?" The two of them beamed at Su Yang.
"Yeah, you look great. Come on over—let me introduce you to these lovely ladies."
"Sure thing."
Su Yang led the two over to the other four girls. "These are two friends I just met yesterday."
Chen Yuxi and Lin Chuxia were both outgoing girls, not shy at all. They tilted their heads and waved hello to the other four.
"Hi there~ Oh, and I remember you—we met yesterday." Chen Yuxi looked at Qin Su and smiled.
"That's right, we meet again." Qin Su nodded and smiled.
Su Yang then said, "Yuxi, Chuxia, why don't you introduce yourselves?"
"Okay." The two took turns stating their names.
The other four also said their names in turn, and that was that—they were acquainted.
Hong Ran stared at the two newcomers and waved cheerfully. "Wow, you two are gorgeous! Come on over, have a seat, don't just stand there."
"Thanks, Sister Hong." The two walked over grinning and sat down beside Hong Ran.
Hong Ran poured them each a drink. "So you're Yuxi, and you're Chu... Chuxia, right?"
"That's right, sis."
"Oh, don't call me sis—just call me Ranran. You both drink, right?"
"We do, though we're not great with alcohol."
"People who say that usually can hold their liquor, haha. Come on, come on—everyone's here tonight, let's toast first."
"Cheers." Everyone filled their glasses and downed a round.
Hong Ran finished hers first. She set the glass down, wiped her mouth, and laughed. "Alright, alright—tonight's party officially begins!"
