The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1367: Chapter 1367: After the New Rain in the Empty Mountains

"She’s really heartless."

Li was speaking about Huang He, but he was also referring to Qiu Wen.

Flicking off some ash from his cigarette, Li said, "Do you guys know? When Qiu Wen dumped me back then, she also left in this BMW. Last time I got abandoned, this time it’s her turn. Maybe she never expected it would happen to her."

Meng Nan chuckled and asked, "Does it make you feel better?"

"Yes, it does!"

"Feeling awesome?"

"Awesome!"

The two exchanged questions and answers swiftly, but Li’s expression showed no hint of joy.

Lin Tian blew a smoke ring, but the fierce wind scattered it before it could take shape. Watching the smoke dissipate, he asked, "Are you here to see her make a fool of herself?"

Li shook his head: "No. I just came to smoke, didn’t expect to see this scene. It’s quite ironic, really. She’s a joke, and I was a joke before. When I was dumped, I cried pathetically as well."

Meng Nan threw his arm around Li’s shoulder casually and said, "Really? Did you actually have feelings for her? You’ve dated two girls like her before, and you didn’t seem that heartbroken back then."

Lin Tian laughed and said, "With his reticent nature, could you tell if he’s upset?"

Meng Nan slowly nodded, "You’re right, he always keeps things bottled up."

Li, annoyed, laughed and kicked Meng Nan, saying, "What do you know! What’s there to talk about with a blockhead like you?"

Meng Nan just laughed and said, "You don’t know anything! Precisely because I’m a blockhead, I’m the best listener. Even if I tease you a bit, it’s better than bottling everything up."

Li was silent for two seconds, then took a deep drag on his cigarette, flicked the butt away and said, "I did date two girls like that before, but those were just casual flings, no real feelings involved. Qiu Wen is different. I remember during the military training, Mr. Liu made Qiu Wen sing, and she cried out of a panic. When I saw her teary eyes, I just wanted to protect her. Guess it was love at first sight."

Meng Nan smacked his lips and said, "Was it really that intense? Love at first sight?"

Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Affection can really be that intense, it’s a kind of fate."

"Yeah, I believe in fate, like me and Sisi." Meng Nan said with a grin, thinking about the baby in Sisi’s belly, his rough face beaming with joy.

Li glanced at Meng Nan and said irritably, "How can you say that, when I taught you so many tricks and you didn’t use any of them? And you still managed to win Sisi over."

"Hey!" Meng Nan grinned, patting Li’s shoulder, "You don’t get it. I won her over with genuine feelings."

"Ugh~" Li made a vomiting gesture.

Watching the two fool around, Lin Tian laughed and asked, "So what now? Haven’t you gotten over her?"

Li looked over at Qiu Wen again and said, "The Buddha speaks of ’parting from those you love’ and ’desires unfulfilled.’ I’m just a mortal, it’s not that easy to let go. It feels like a regret, watching a pure girl change like this, makes me sad. But it’s alright, I’ve bounced back long ago."

With the cigarette in his mouth, Meng Nan mumbled, "Yeah, forgetting one relationship means starting another one. You have Huanhuan now, what’s there to hold onto?"

As Meng Nan finished speaking, a flash of lightning lit up the world, followed by a thunderous crash that made the ground tremble.

Meng Nan shivered and murmured to himself: I didn’t say anything wrong, why did it start thundering suddenly?

After the thunder, raindrops the size of beans began to fall.

The wind was fierce and the rain was loud!

Luckily, the corridor’s eaves were wide enough, so the rain couldn’t reach them.

But... Qiu Wen and Yang Wei crouching by the roadside weren’t as lucky. Within five seconds of the rain starting, they were soaked to the bone.

Flicking his cigarette butt away casually, Li said, "Let’s go, nothing more to see here. The fresh rain falls on the empty mountain, and the evening brings autumn..."

...

Back in the hotel lobby, with the air conditioning blowing cold air, Li shivered.

By now, most of the dishes were served, but few people focused on eating. Men and women alike were talking and laughing over drinks, and seats were no longer fixed, creating a lively scene.

The liveliest table was Zhao Xuefeng’s. Many students surrounded the teachers with their glasses in hand, offering toasts one after another.

They say college is a small social circle, and it’s true. Only in freshman year, many have already mastered the art of persuasion in drinking, stringing witty phrases together making it hard not to drink.

Earlier, Hu Gaofei said Zhao Xuefeng had a great tolerance for alcohol, but he hadn’t anticipated that both he and Zhao Xuefeng would become the targets of ’drinking rounds.’ One toast followed another, leaving them overwhelmed.

Of course, the other male and female teachers weren’t spared either. The female teachers received some concessions but couldn’t resist the students’ enthusiastic urgings. They suddenly envied Yang Wei who had left earlier, but little did they know, Yang Wei was now drenched from the rain.

Meng Nan slapped his leg and said, "Let’s go! Let’s go have a drink with Mr. Zhao!"

Lin Tian stopped him and said, "Just propose one toast and leave it, don’t press them too hard, or they might never come again."

"Got it, got it." Meng Nan chuckled and said carelessly, then went to find a wine glass.

Seeing Meng Nan’s carefree manner, Li laughed and said, "This kid, smoking and drinking today, later I’ll have to tell Sisi to make him kneel on the keyboard when he gets home."

Lin Tian nodded in agreement, "All night kneeling best."

...

Alcohol became the main event tonight, Zhao Xuefeng initially didn’t drink much but eventually couldn’t fend off the toasts, ending up with three buttons undone on his shirt, revealing a welcoming demeanor.

As Hu Gaofei mentioned, Zhao Xuefeng’s drinking capacity was strong, even Zhao Xuefeng himself thought he was better than when he was younger.

In reality, Lin Tian used Spiritual Qi to dissipate quite a bit of the alcohol; otherwise, this old fellow would have been completely knocked out.

After everyone was sated with food and drink, the group relocated to the fifth-floor KTV of the hotel!

Finally, Zhao Xuefeng sang two more songs, drank some more, and eventually passed out.

Mr. Zhao was so high today, even Lin Tian hadn’t anticipated it. He dispersed some more alcohol for him so he wouldn’t feel too uncomfortable. After all, if he dispelled it completely, it would be hard to explain.
