Bai Youwei finished her glass of wine. While Shen Mo and Du Lai engaged in conversation, she exchanged her glass with Shen Mo’s –

His glass was full.

As Shen Mo dismissed Du Lai, she had just finished half of her drink. Seeing Shen Mo looking at her, she took a small sip and said, “I’m not finished drinking yet.”

Shen Mo:

“I never knew you could drink so much before.” He responded helplessly, swapping her wine glass with a glass of water.

Bai Youwei: “I tend to drink more when it’s good wine.”

Shen Mo chuckled, “You shouldn’t drink so much even if it is good wine.”

Bai Youwei pouted and replied, “Everyone’s drinking like this!”

Shen Mo glanced around the surrounding tables and indeed, that was the case. Most people were drinking in succession, pouring cup after cup down their throats! Only Yan Qingwen’s table was slightly more restrained.

Yan Qingwen and he were both teetotalers, a habit formed over the years due to disciplinary requirements, to always keep a clear mind.

As for Lun Ang and Tan Xiao, they drank wine as if it were water.

Even Shen Fei chimed in, “Bro, you should drink more. These wines are rare collectibles from a wealthy merchant’s collection, all bought at auction, you can’t find them for sale outside, it’s quite rare.”

Bai Youwei spoke with a playful tone, “Doesn’t this scene look like… a martial arts novel, where a certain sect hosts a banquet to honor heroes, serving luxurious food and drinks, but secretly poisoning the wine, plot a scheme silently, and no one can escape it…”

Tan Xiao shivered, not knowing whether to spit out the wine in his mouth or swallow it.

After…hesitating for a while, he finally swallowed it.

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Shen Fei frowned, “Professor Song invited everyone here in good faith.”

“I was just joking~” Bai Youwei replied lightly, she didn’t typically bother engaging much in conversation with unfamiliar people.

Shen Fei still looked unhappy, but out of consideration for Shen Mo beside him, he held back his words.

“Indeed, everyone invited here today is of the younger generation.” Shen Mo served some food to Bai Youwei, and added, “Apart from those at our table, there are no elderly or children at the other tables.”

Shen Fei’s expression grew worse, “Bro, you too…”

Shen Mo said, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m not doubting Professor Song’s intentions. I’m just thinking that there must be a reason for gathering us.”

Bai Youwei glanced around and murmured, “There are also very few women…just Su Man, Zhu Shu and me… Eh? Who’s that woman with Li Li?”

The table next to them had originally four guests: Yan Qingwen, Lun Ang, Zhu Shu, and Su Man.

At some point, two more chairs were added, and Li Li brought a girl over.

But now, he looked furious, apparently in a dispute with Su Man again.

The two of them were like arch-enemy, always arguing whenever they met, and never had a peaceful meeting. Everyone, whether it was Yan Qingwen’s group or Shen Mo’s group, had become numb to their squabbles.

Given that they were surrounded by guests, Su Man tried to keep her voice down in spite of her anger. She gritted her teeth and said, “I will say it one last time! I didn’t bump into her! Believe it or don’t!”

“If you didn’t bump into her, then did Xiaoqian twist her ankle on her own?!” Li Li accused her angrily, “You always do this! You always target Xiaoqian without evidence! I brought her here to introduce her to Brother Yan, why are you being so jealous! Would you be happy if you hit her?!”

“I didn’t!” Su Man angrily slapped the table!

Everyone turned to look.

The girl next to Li Li quickly said, “I’m sure Sister Su didn’t mean it. Her hand is injured, she may have lost her balance while moving the chair and bumped into me… It’s my fault, if I moved away in time, I wouldn’t have been…”
