Chapter 783: The Friendship of Youth
"Damn! If we don’t drink you under the table tonight, it won’t ease my heart!"
Zou Yanpeng was determined to have a three hundred round battle with An Mingji tonight.
Seeing his aggressive look, An Mingji raised his brows slightly, "Don’t speak too soon, tonight it’s uncertain who’ll be heading home face down."
The tall, skinny boy with a scholarly demeanor sitting next to him laughed too, "Peng, I think you should just give in."
Zou Yanpeng widened his eyes, angrily glaring at the person next to An Mingji, suddenly flaring up, "Qiao Wenming, how can you call yourself a man if you give in? I’m a true man of steel, you guys better not hold back tonight!"
He said this last sentence to both Jin Bai and Qiao Wenming.
Qiao Wenming smiled helplessly, having little faith in Zou Yanpeng’s alcohol tolerance.
After the street vendor brought the kebabs the boys ordered, they ate, drank, and chatted together.
This street had the best business at the shop where they were.
Only because the four distinctive boys sitting outside attracted many passersby.
The boss knew this too, and specially gifted them half a crate of beer.
Zou Yanpeng said sourly, "It’s because of Mingji that we get face; we’ve been here so many times, and the boss never gave us anything."
Although his tone was sour, there was a sense of pride in his eyes and brows.
An Mingji softly smiled while eating the meat skewer in his hand.
He was well aware of the frequent glances coming their way; since there was no malice in those looks, he paid them little mind.
Jin Bai held up his glass and stretched it towards the other three, "Haven’t seen each other for a year, let’s have a drink, brothers!"
An Mingji raised his glass, and Zou Yanpeng and Qiao Wenming did the same.
The four clinked glasses and drained their drinks in one go.
"Refreshing!"
After a drink, Zou Yanpeng felt like his entire being was cleansed, thoroughly relaxed.
Qiao Wenming was from a scholarly family, his family all worked in education, and he had strict upbringing.
Even he indulged tonight, his face turned red after drinking, yet he wore a delighted smile.
The only one who caught An Mingji’s attention was Jin Bai.
Being pale and thin, acquaintances called him Little Bai.
Even though Jin Bai seemed happy tonight, there was an undissipated worry in his brow.
Seeing him like this, An Mingji’s gaze deepened a bit.
Among them, he was the most familiar with Jin Bai, being a straightforward person, which made him more attentive.
Gently withdrawing his gaze, the smile on his lips remained unchanged.
"Mingji, where have you been this year? You wouldn’t know, but after you left, all the girls at school had their hearts broken, and because of that, none of us got any attention from pretty girls."
Zou Yanpeng was really curious; this guy left without saying a word, who knows what urgent matter it was.
Returning a year later.
Came back as suddenly as he left.
An Mingji placed the finished skewer stick on the table and said softly, "Something happened at home that needed me to go back and resolve."
In that brief sentence, there was a lot implied.
Hearing that he didn’t want to say more, Qiao Wenming shifted the topic, "Mingji just got back, he wouldn’t know. Peng recently got a girlfriend, quite a pretty one, you should have him bring her to meet you someday."
An Mingji looked at Zou Yanpeng, surprisingly seeing a bit of shyness and the happiness of young love on his face.
Just like a young boy caught in the whirlpool of romance.
