295: Lu Yu pretends to be drunk

Xiao Chuxia told Xiaos Father, "There's a vacant seat in the team's car; you can follow us back to the capital."

Xiaos Father shook his head and refused, "I'll stay here and wait for you to come back next year."

"I promised your mother I would protect our home."

"Our old home was destroyed by the natural disaster; this home cannot be destroyed again."

Hearing this, Xiao Chuxia didn't press the matter and began to tell Xiaos Father interesting stories about her time in the capital.

Jiang Fei and Lu Yu quietly listened.

Until 6:30 PM, the three prepared to leave for dinner at Gu Yunshan's place.

Xiaos Father brought out a suitcase from the room.

On top of the suitcase was a packet of flower seeds.

"Although the Underground City isn't exposed to outside UV rays, it's affected by other aspects of the polar day, so no plants can grow."

"Fei Fei, Uncle doesn't have much good to give you, just this packet of treasured jasmine seeds and some gold bars. Keep them for your use."

"The world will return to normal one day; at that time, gold bars will be valuable."

"Thank you, Uncle." Jiang Fei unexpectedly accepted the flower seeds.

The suitcase was handed to Lu Yu to carry.

Stepping out of the bungalow, Jiang Fei found an unoccupied spot and stored the flower seeds and suitcase in the Supermarket.

System: [Ding — Detected gold: 30,000 grams]

As if remembering something, Xiao Chuxia, the 'leaky little cotton jacket', said to Jiang Fei:

"Miss, before you came, my dad chatted with me and said there were a lot of gold bars hidden under the bedroom floor."

"How about we come back later and get another batch?"

Jiang Fei: "...Let's leave some for Uncle."

She wasn't so ruthless as to fleece Xiao Hua Lao's family.

Taking out a box of hangover pills and three bottles of water, Jiang Fei distributed them to Lu Yu and Xiao Chuxia.

"We don't know how much we'll drink tonight, so let's each take a hangover pill first."

Hangover pills are most effective when taken within half an hour before drinking.

They can not only protect the gastric mucosa but also alleviate symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and dizziness after drinking.

After taking the hangover pills, the three returned to Gu Yunshan's villa.

Large tables were set up from the courtyard to the living room.

On the tables were various stir-fried dishes, beer, foreign liquor, and baijiu.

The vegetables and meat were stockpiled from when plants and animals mutated previously.

Besides the capital's team, people from Dark Night also came to eat together.

Upon seeing Lu Yu, they respectfully called him "Brother Lu."

Noticing the three of them returning, Gu Yunshan waved to them, "Come, I've saved you seats."

Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, and Xiao Chuxia walked into the living room and sat at Gu Yunshan's table.

Noticing that this table had the most alcohol, Jiang Fei was glad she had taken the hangover pills, otherwise, she'd only be able to crawl out tonight.

Gray Rat was the first to approach with a wine glass: "Brother Lu, we haven't drunk together in two years, you must drink this glass."

Lu Yu readily poured a glass and drank it all.

Immediately after, Uncle Jiang and others from Dark Night lined up to ply Lu Yu with drinks.

Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia were girls, so everyone didn't make it difficult for them, only asking them to take a small sip as a gesture.

However, they gave Lu Yu no chance to breathe, making him drink glass after glass.

Captain Lei and the others also couldn't escape being toasted.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Captain Lei took his team members back to rest first.

After all, they had to drive tomorrow and couldn't drink too late.

Jiang Fei and the other two stayed until past 12 AM.

After drinking for several hours straight, Lu Yu's face was flushed, and his eyes became hazy.

As soon as he stood up, he swayed precariously, about to fall.

Fortunately, Jiang Fei supported him in time.

Gu Yunshan: "I'll take him back."

Lu Yu gently waved his hand: "No need, Brother Gu... I can walk myself..."

Saying this, Lu Yu walked towards the door.

He himself had a good alcohol tolerance and had also taken the neighbor's hangover pills, so he wasn't actually drunk.

He was just a little dizzy.

Worried about Lu Yu, Jiang Fei caught up and supported him: "You'd better lean on me to walk, don't fall."

Feeling the delicate touch of Jiang Fei's palm, Lu Yu, who had originally intended to refuse, boldly leaned against her under the influence of alcohol.

"My head hurts so much..."

"Why have you become two..."

Lu Yu mumbled, feigning drunkenness, his arm draped over Jiang Fei's shoulder, yet he quietly controlled his strength to avoid pressing down on her.

The weight on her was very light, and Jiang Fei looked at Lu Yu suspiciously.

Drunk people usually feel exceptionally heavy; why hadn't her teammate changed?

At this moment, Xiao Chuxia, who was following behind, wondered: "Brother Lu took hangover pills, so he shouldn't have a headache or be this drunk."

"Could it be that his physique is different, so the hangover pills had no effect on him?"

Xiao Chuxia didn't suspect Lu Yu was faking it.

It was just that subconsciously, she felt Lu Yu wasn't the type to be cunning.

Jiang Fei, for a moment, had suspected Lu Yu.

But Lu Yu's eyes were blurry, not like he was faking drunkenness.

Her teammate also had no reason to deceive her.

Jiang Fei simply stopped thinking about it, supported Lu Yu into the small villa, put him in the room on the first floor, and then left.

Hearing the door close, Lu Yu sat up dazedly.

Before he could react to why Jiang Fei had left, the sound of a door opening rang out.

Lu Yu quickly lay back on the bed, covering his head: "It hurts so much..."

"Get up and take another hangover pill."

Jiang Fei helped Lu Yu sit up, gave him another hangover pill, then helped him take off his shoes and covered him with the quilt.

This time, she didn't come back after leaving.

Recalling Jiang Fei's care just now, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile, contentedly drifting off to sleep.

At this moment, in the living room.

Big Yellow ate the minced meat Jiang Fei had just poured into his bowl, unable to understand.

Wasn't his owner's alcohol tolerance very good? Why did the two-legged beast have to help him back???

—

The next afternoon, Captain Lei contacted Lu Yu via walkie-talkie to gather at the parking lot.

They had all drunk a lot last night and didn't wake up until noon.

After putting Big Yellow into the cat villa in the Supermarket, the three of them had just left when they saw Gu Yunshan at the door.

He was carrying a bag of grapes.

"Take these to eat on the way."

"Have a safe journey."

Lu Yu: "I'll come back more often when I have time."

Gu Yunshan smiled and nodded.

Bidding farewell to Gu Yunshan, the three of them arrived at the parking lot on Level -1.

"I'll drive today, you go back to sleep on the sofa for a bit."

After saying this to Lu Yu, Jiang Fei went to the driver's seat.

Confirming that everyone had arrived, Captain Lei notified everyone to depart via walkie-talkie.

Xiao Chuxia, bored in the car, went to the driver's seat to chat with Jiang Fei.

To avoid waking Lu Yu, who was resting on the sofa, she deliberately lowered her voice:

"Miss, do you think we'll encounter that Bald Head Boss again on our way back?"

"If he tries to rob us again, we'll turn the tables and take his supplies and gold."

"That person is very poor, he doesn't have any gold," Jiang Fei quietly told Xiao Chuxia about her previous encounter with Bald Head Boss.

Suddenly, a gurgling sound of water was heard.

"Where is it leaking?"

"I'll go check." Xiao Chuxia was about to inspect when the car suddenly jolted violently.

Lu Yu sat up on the sofa, his pupils suddenly constricting.

Outside the window, a towering giant wave in the distance, like a furious beast, swept towards them.

Its height seemed to merge with the sky, blocking all light.

"It's a tsunami!"

At the same time, the walkie-talkie blared.

Captain Lei: "Everyone drive up the mountain! Quickly!"
