Chapter 4 - Sit Properly

Start from the beginning
                                    

Because the weather was hot, Wei Guanglei shouted an order as they ate, "Uncle Yang, two bottles of cold beer, I want them fresh from the freezer!"

Chu Yu was holding his tea cup, eyes still a bit red. He responded in surprise, "Cold beer? Are you an adult?"

"No. No more, no less, just seventeen." Wei Guanglei raised his eyebrows. "In this weather, drinking cold beer is so refreshing it could make you fly! I'm not tricking you, I won't tell anyone our secret."

Chu Yu was born prematurely and was often in poor health. He was carefully taken care of since he was a child. Don't mention cold beer, he'd never even had iced fruit juice.

He remained unsure. "Really?"

Wei Guanglei placed the order. "Really! If you don't believe me, you can try a drink first? It's so cool and refreshing, it'll make your soul tremble!"

Chu Yu really wanted to try.

He was actually enjoying himself a lot, sitting in a small shop that was not so great and was even a little shabby and a bit dirty, talking about this and that with a few friends, carefreely and happily.

Uncle Yang brought the beer and put four drinking glasses on the table.

Wei Guanglei held the beer bottle and filled three cups. "Lu-Ge, don't drink or your throat will turn useless. You also have that hole in your waist that just got bandaged. If my mother knew I took you drinking, she'd hit my legs with a stick 'til they broke!"

Lu Shi gave a faint "hm".

Chu Yu was still a little afraid of Lu Shi, but after sitting for a while, his fear had eased.

He picked up the glass and looked carefully at the beer emitting small bubbles. He thought that the color was like brewed tea.

Seeing Wei Guanglei and Zhu Zhifei picking up their glasses and finishing it in one drink, he did the same. Putting the glass to his mouth, he finished the drink in a few gulps.

It was cool, feeling it run down your throat was indeed refreshing.

Zhu Zhifei pushed up his glasses and talked to Lu Shi, "My mother is letting me live on campus when school starts, saying it will give me more time to study. The accommodation conditions in Jianing are good, although the fee is expensive, the school is waiving half of the cost for me so it's acceptable. I'm going to live there, how about you, Lu-Ge?"

"Living at school." Lu Shi was leaning back in his chair, his left hand casually inserted in his pocket, and his cold, white fingers pinching his empty glass, spinning it around. His throat hurt so he spoke less, and with his eyelashes drooping, his whole body seemed a little cold.

"There must be a deluxe single room reserved for you at the main school." Zhu Zhifei beat the table with his fist and sighed. "When will I also be exempted from all the tuition and fees, get a special scholarship, and live in a five-star deluxe single dorm room?!"

"When you surpass Lu-Ge and take first place on the exams." Wei Guanglei picked up the knife. "Of course, both you and I know, this can only happen in your dreams, hahaha."

"You, hurry up and get lost from Laozi's side!"

"Eh." Wei Guanglei noticed something amiss and gestured with his chin. "This young master... is he drunk?"

Chu Yu sat on his chair silently, staring at the empty glass without blinking, his eyes a little unfocused. Despite hearing someone calling him, there was no response.

"Damn, is he really drunk?" Zhu Zhifei was also surprised. "Is this the legendary one cup lightweight?"

Lu Shi knit his brows. "Three cups."
