The meal was thoroughly enjoyable.
After such a long period of training, it was their first real chance to relax both physically and mentally.
No matter the outcome, at least they had given it their all during the process!
Now was their time to unwind!
"Come on, let's go! Now that we're full and satisfied, it's time for round two!"
The mood was so lively that even Han Xiaojing and Wang Lijuan, who never drank, couldn't resist having a few beers in the cheerful atmosphere.
The group moved on to their next destination—karaoke.
As they entered a private room at a nearby KTV, Ye Liangchen watched them with a growing smirk.
"Ah Liang, our moment has come!" Xue Shaohua exclaimed, glancing at the specially prepared drink in Gao Quan's hands, his voice brimming with excitement.
After waiting so long, the day had finally arrived. The humiliation they had suffered at Long Aotian's hands would now be repaid with interest.
Gao Quan looked at the drink in his hand. "Brother Chen, should I take it in now, or wait until they're halfway through their session?"
The nervousness he had felt earlier at the restaurant had mysteriously vanished.
Now, he was filled with nothing but determination.
"Wait a bit. The staff will serve them drinks first. Once they've had enough, you'll go in," Ye Liangchen said calmly.
Everyone knew that beer at KTVs was practically like water—the more they drank, the more they'd need to use the restroom. That’s when they’d serve the ["See You Tomorrow"] cocktail, waiting for Long Aotian to step out.
Then, Ye Liangchen would personally teach him what true cruelty—and what a real man—looked like.
With that, Ye Liangchen turned to Xue Shaohua. "Let’s scout out the restroom first."
After picking the perfect spot to ambush Long Aotian,
Ye Liangchen pretended to pass by their private room, peering through the glass window on the door.
Inside, the group was already deep into drinking and belting out songs.
Seeing this, Ye Liangchen gave Gao Quan a nod—it was time to act.
Taking a deep breath, Gao Quan adjusted his uniform, picked up the tray, and headed for Long Aotian’s room.
He pushed the door open.
All eyes turned to him.
Gulping, Gao Quan forced himself to stay composed.
The lines he had rehearsed countless times came out smoothly:
"Good evening! As part of today’s promotion, we’re offering complimentary drinks. Enjoy your time!"
Placing the tray on the table, he quickly retreated.
The entire exchange went off without a hitch. Only after leaving the room did Gao Quan slump against the wall, exhaling heavily.
Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua approached, patting his shoulder with grins.
"Well done! This time, you’ve really helped me out. You’re no longer just the kid hiding behind Brother Chen!"
Praise earned, Gao Quan sighed in relief. "You have no idea how nervous I was! But at least it worked."
"Your final task is to wait in the hallway. The moment Long Aotian steps out for the restroom, send us a message," Ye Liangchen instructed.
With everything set, he and Xue Shaohua slipped into the restroom.
Leaning against the wall, Xue Shaohua took a deep breath.
"Never thought we’d actually pull this off. It’s gone even smoother than expected!"
Ye Liangchen scoffed, one hand in his pocket.
"Don’t forget—with my genius, anything’s possible."
"The biggest difference between me and Long Aotian? He’s brainless, while I’m nothing but brains."
His eyes gleamed with cunning.

"Damn, today’s our lucky day! Free drinks on a night out?" Li Longlong laughed, picking up the bottle of liquor.
"KTV booze is usually trash, but let’s crack it open and see," Xu Shuai said, setting out glasses.
"Smells like there’s iced tea mixed in," Huang Fei remarked after a cautious sniff, then took a sip.
Diluted by the tea, the drink had a sweet undertone. "Not bad."
Long Aotian also tried it—sweet on the tongue, but burning as it went down.
"This stuff’s got a serious kick," he warned, exhaling. "You girls better skip it."
"Whoa, you’re right. One glass and I’m already lightheaded," Xu Shuai admitted, staring at his cup.
Wang Lijuan nudged him. "Don’t get drunk. I’m not carrying you back."
Xu Shuai grinned. "Relax, I’ll be fine."
Su Ting glanced at Li Longlong’s flushed face. "Slow down. You’re already buzzed."
"This tastes sweet, but the aftereffect is no joke," Huang Fei groaned, slumping onto the couch.
Watching the three of them, Shen Mengjie lifted the bottle to her nose.
Her brow furrowed.
As someone who frequented bars, she recognized the blend—this was clearly a mix of hard liquors.
Cradling the bottle, she rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought...
"I’m hitting the restroom. Keep going without me," Long Aotian said, heading out.
Outside, Gao Quan spotted Long Aotian exiting exactly as planned and immediately texted Ye Liangchen.
In the restroom, Ye Liangchen read the message, his smirk widening. He showed Xue Shaohua.
"See? Flawless execution."
Xue Shaohua’s eyes lit up with confidence.
"Just watch how I provoke Long Aotian this time!"
"He acts all high and mighty, refusing to let me wipe his face? Well, tonight, I’ll make him regret it!"
Footsteps approached.
As Long Aotian pushed the door open,
Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua exchanged a glance. They’d waited too long for this.
In one fluid motion, Xue Shaohua spun around, letting his jacket slip off one shoulder.
Long Aotian froze, scowling at the sight of them. "Do you two have nothing better to do?"
Xue Shaohua rubbed his cheek against his bare shoulder, then flashed a seductive grin.
"Like what you see?"
He licked his finger, then slowly extended it toward Long Aotian’s mouth.
"You’re out of your damn mind—"
A sharp slap cut him off mid-sentence.
