A Lively Dinner Party, One of the Family (Bonus Update)

The long-awaited dinner finally began officially!

As the only host of the whole event, Chen Qimeng naturally couldn't avoid giving a warm opening speech.

Her slightly excited speech lasted a full three minutes.

First of all, she welcomed all the friends inside and outside the apartment who were willing to come to the "celebration banquet" for Lin Yu and Chi Qingchi.

Secondly, she praised the performances of Lin Yu and Chi Qingchi, hoping that the two would get better and better in the future.

Thirdly, she told everyone that they could regard this place as their "home" and come often for gatherings and fun.

Then, she expressed her infinite excitement at reuniting with her close friends from college days.

Finally, she proposed a toast to celebrate life and this moment.

"..."

"Our apartment hasn't been this lively for a long time. I might have talked a bit too much today," she said.

"Please don't mind. Let's start eating."

Those who could drink had alcohol, and those who couldn't drink had a little.

On the table today, there were all kinds of drinks, including red wine, white wine, beer, fruit wine, and cocktails.

Even those who usually only drank beverages tried fruit wine or cocktails from the supermarket.

Lin Yu silently calculated the rooms in the apartment.

If all the guests from outside stayed overnight,

would there be enough space to accommodate them all?

After calculating back and forth,

unless he gave up his room and slept on the sofa himself, it might be possible to fit everyone.

As the number of people in the sect increased, the expansion of the sect's space had to be accelerated.

During the middle of the meal,

naturally, the focus of everyone's discussion at first was still on the cosplay event that Lin Yu and Chi Qingchi participated in today.

When it came to safety issues, Lin Yu spared no details.

He told everyone about the interesting things and emergencies that happened at the event one by one.

Lin Yu was also a master at storytelling.

The stories he told, after his vivid descriptions, seemed thrilling and extremely interesting.

Chi Qingchi played a great supporting role beside him.

From time to time, he added some interesting two - dimensional knowledge points and also praised Lin Yu's "professional ability".

The atmosphere in the whole room was harmonious and joyful. Everyone finished one glass and then had three more.

In the middle stage, the focus of everyone's attention shifted to the relationship between Chen Qimeng and Du Ruxue.

Du Ruxue used the simplest and most concise words to directly explain their past.

During their college years,

dormitories were not as uniformly organized by major as they are now. There were many mixed dormitories.

Chen Qimeng and Du Ruxue lived in one of them. The six people in the dormitory were from four different majors.

Du Ruxue was introverted and not as good at speaking as she is now.

Among the roommates, only Chen Qimeng had the best relationship with her.

The two were good friends who could talk about anything and had many wonderful memories together.

However,

all this came to an end when Du Ruxue went abroad during their senior year.

At the dinner table, from Du Ruxue's own description,

some signs of her personality flaws could be seen indirectly.

Even when it came to going abroad, Du Ruxue never had a face - to - face conversation with Chen Qimeng.

She just left a letter for her before leaving.

From then on, the two lost contact.

Lin Yu believed this past, but it was hard for him to understand.

For normal friends, if one of them goes abroad, shouldn't they try every means to stay in touch?

How come it seemed that for Du Ruxue, "choosing to go abroad was a betrayal of this friendship"?

Of course,

Du Ruxue's way of thinking couldn't be considered normal.

The three juniors who knew her best were completely unfamiliar with her performance today.

Maybe,

this was another personality besides her many personalities.

No one knew what she would be like outside of this environment.

After talking about the past of the two aunts,

it was time for the free - speaking session. Everyone was kind - hearted.

Everyone would have a chance to speak, and no one would feel left out.

Even Little Fufu, who rarely spoke, talked a lot about her painting work and her future work plans under the influence of everyone.

Thankfully,

Du Ruxue didn't make things difficult for Lin Yu at the dinner table again.

Even the matter of whether to take Maomao away was not mentioned at the table.

Lin Yu guessed that Aunt Ruxue might also be feeling the environment Maomao was in through this meal.

Based on this, she would decide whether she needed to take Maomao away.

After nine o'clock at night,

everyone was full. The leftover dishes on the table were removed.

However, the dried fruits, snacks, and drinks were not removed.

Because in Ying'er's game "The Fission of the Three Kingdoms: The Beginning of a New Era", these were important props.

During the chat,

Lin Yu did open the Word document of the game rules that Ying'er sent.

After looking at the number of pages, he directly gave up reading it.

There were a full 128 pages of game rules instructions!

No pictures, just pure text!

With his ability to read ten lines at a glance and remember everything, it would still take him at least a few minutes to read!

Moreover, Lin Yu found that everyone at the dinner table was chatting seriously.

No one was looking at this thing.

Even if he wanted to win, he couldn't ignore others' conversations in front of everyone.

So,

he gave up reading the instructions and decided to just start playing the game to find out how difficult it was!

Before starting the game, what everyone had to do was to work together to clear the dining table...

"Xiaoyu, put it down. Let me do it," Chen Qimeng said hurriedly as she tried to take the plate from Lin Yu's hand.

In her opinion, today's gathering was completely for Lin Yu.

He shouldn't be the one to clean up the mess.

However,

Lin Yu turned his hand and avoided Chen Qimeng's hand.

He said firmly:

"Aunt Qimeng, what do you mean by 'don't... help you'?"

The sudden question completely confused Chen Qimeng:

"Ah? It means... I'm not tired, and there aren't many things..."

Then,

Lin Yu said seriously:

"Help you..."

"It sounds like housework is supposed to be done by you. Who made such a rule?

"Am I not a part of this family?"

【Ding!】

【Brilliant move! Sincere words that warm the heart can most easily move the heart of a Taoist companion!】

【Reward: 50 spirit stones】

Chen Qimeng's eyes trembled slightly, and her heart skipped a beat.

At the same time,

behind Chen Qimeng, no one was idle:

"Lin Yu is right, Aunt Qimeng. We are also part of this family."

"Yes, yes, not just Xiao Lin."

"Sister Qimeng, let's do it together!"

"Damn Lin Yu, you're so good at talking. I'll help wash the dishes!"

"I'll be in charge of wiping the table, everyone!"

"..."

Chen Qimeng and Lin Yu smiled at each other.

That night,

at home,

there were bright lights, wonderful conversations, and a scene of prosperity.
