42: My girlfriend is a sniper

“Damn it, how do I answer this? So awkward.” Pan Han felt that his breakup had nothing to do with others, and there was no need for everyone to get involved.

“We broke up.”

Chen Yun sent a text message, informing everyone of the situation.

“Ah?”

“When did this happen?”

“Why?”

Upon hearing this, the classmates all started asking questions.

Watching everyone chattering, Chen Yun stopped talking. Anyway, there would be a lot of explaining to do when they met later.

When Pan Han saw that Chen Yun had spoken, he figured it saved him trouble, so he simply stopped talking in the group.

But he couldn't stop others from gossiping!

“What's going on with you two?” Gao Ping messaged him privately.

“We broke up a few days ago, incompatible personalities.” Pan Han gave Chen Yun some face and didn't directly say that she had found someone from a demolition household.

“Don't joke around, how long did you pursue her in college to get her? How could you break up right after graduation because of incompatible personalities?” Gao Ping pressed.

“It really was incompatible personalities. Only after entering society did I realize that love isn't simple.”

“She dumped you?”

“Not really, we just weren't compatible, so we went our separate ways.”

The two chatted like this, and time passed quickly. By the time Pan Han looked up again, he had already arrived at the barbecue restaurant.

He checked the time, it was exactly 6:30.

He tidied his clothes and hair, then walked in, heading straight for the private room.

Upon entering, he found seven people already seated; everyone except him and Chen Yun had arrived.

Seeing Pan Han enter, everyone stood up to greet him.

“Hello, old classmates, long time no see, I've missed you all so much.”

Pan Han didn't consider himself an unsociable person. Especially after experiencing the apocalypse's slaughter, he cherished friendships in peacetime even more.

While Chen Yun hadn't arrived yet, Lin Zhian, the class monitor, quickly privately asked Pan Han about the breakup.

Pan Han stuck to the same story: it was just incompatible personalities, refusing to budge.

A female classmate beside him saw that Pan Han didn't want to say more, so she reached out and stopped the class monitor, then asked Pan Han about the dine-and-dash incident.

“When you were in school, you had a normal appetite. How come you ate so much today? Are you alright?”

“I'm fine. I'll eat just as much tonight.”

“Are you suffering from some illness? I heard there's a disease where you can eat a lot but not digest any of it.” The female classmate asked with concern.

“No, nothing like that. I've been working out recently, and my appetite has increased.”

“Working out? I can't tell? Do you have abs?”

“Yes, eight of them!”

Just then, Chen Yun pushed the door open and entered.

She saw Pan Han at first glance, and the two exchanged an awkward greeting.

Gao Ping quickly motioned for her to sit next to Pan Han. Chen Yun didn't seem to mind and sat down gracefully.

“How have you been recently?” Chen Yun greeted Pan Han first.

“Very good. See, my appetite has even increased. Haha.” Pan Han laughed awkwardly.

He realized he still couldn't calmly face his ex-girlfriend.

“How about you? Are you and him still good?” Pan Han didn't know what to say, so he asked casually.

“Very good. I specifically told him I was having dinner with old classmates tonight, and he told me to drink as much as I want, and he'll pick me up later.”

Everyone was surprised by Chen Yun's remark.

She was clearly trying to put Pan Han on the spot!

“Alright, alright, let's not talk about anything else. It's an old classmates' gathering, let's drink well, put everything else aside for now.” Lin Zhian, seeing the atmosphere was off, quickly changed the subject.

“Pan Han, you didn't drink much in college. How's your practice now? Tonight, it's all our brothers and sisters, no one's going to coddle you.” Gao Ping echoed the class monitor, leading the topic to drinking.

Pan Han thought, “Oh, really, someone's not afraid to die! Then I'll show you what it means to be a reborn god of wine!”

“Tonight, if you can walk out of here, I, Pan Han, will wash my hair while standing on my head.”

Upon hearing this, the old classmates' spirits immediately rose, and they all clamored to show Pan Han what's what.

“Idiot!” Chen Yun whispered from the side. She thought Pan Han was in a bad mood after seeing her and wanted to use drinking to escape the awkwardness.

“Then let's start with hard liquor, then beer. Ladies can drink as they please!” Lin Zhian began to lay down the rules.

The seven men and two women present had no objections.

So Lin Zhian first arranged for seven bottles of liquor, a case of beer, and also ordered a bottle of soda for the ladies.

At this point, the first batch of skewers came out. The class monitor urged everyone to eat something first to line their stomachs. He also thoughtfully gave a few skewers to the two ladies and poured them two glasses of beer.

“Come, for the first toast, everyone, let's drink to the increasingly prosperous future of us old classmates.” Lin Zhian proposed.

The two female classmates were quite bold and drank it down immediately.

Afterward, everyone opened up and talked about their jobs. Among those who stayed in Beijing, some worked in companies, some passed civil service exams, and some even opened their own studios. In short, everyone was doing well, and it seemed Pan Han was the worst off.

After one drink, Chen Yun's topic shifted away from Pan Han. She poured herself a glass of beer and first toasted the class monitor.

“Thank you, class monitor, for taking care of me during school. Now you're helping out at your dad's company again, you'll definitely soar in the future. Remember us old classmates then!” After saying that, Chen Yun drank it down first.

“Oh, oh, oh, I can't accept that, thank you, beautiful lady, for thinking so highly of me. We're all the purest classmates, nothing to say. If there's anything good in the future, I'll definitely think of everyone. I'll drink this too.”

The others also joined in the merriment and drank to each other.

Pan Han didn't say much; he just drank glass after glass, refusing no one.

In a flash, everyone had drunk seven or eight rounds. Some of the male classmates' tongues were already starting to slur.

At this moment, Gao Ping, with a flushed face, holding his drink, came behind Pan Han and Chen Yun, putting one arm around Pan Han and the other around Chen Yun.

“Come, a toast to you two. No matter what happened between you, as old classmates, I still want to wish you well.”

Chen Yun and Pan Han didn't want to offend him, so they also raised their glasses and drank.

“That's right. Having once possessed is also an experience.” Gao Ping said.

“Yes, yes, yes.” Pan Han humored him.

“A few days ago, that female roommate, did you two get together?” Chen Yun put down her glass and said to Pan Han with a hint of sourness.

She found Pan Han a bit different today, somewhat handsome. Even handsome wasn't quite accurate; he should be described as strikingly handsome, with a hint of oppressive aura. When she looked into his eyes, they seemed bottomless.

She had no idea that Pan Han had killed so many zombies in the apocalypse, accumulating a considerable amount of killing intent.

“No, we're just good friends.” Pan Han replied coldly.

“You're that generous to good friends?” Chen Yun was naturally referring to the matter of buying clothes and bags that night.

“I've always been this sincere to people! Haven't you noticed?” Pan Han looked at Chen Yun with sharp eyes.

A chilling coldness pierced through Chen Yun's brain, making her shiver.

“You've changed so much recently. Your whole person has changed.” Chen Yun said, shrinking back a bit.

“Hmm, you guessed right. I lost some things, and gained a lot.”

Pan Han spoke in riddles with Chen Yun.

“Then have you found a new girlfriend?”

“Yes, I have!”

“That fast? What does she do?”

“She's a sniper, specializing in killing those who don't listen to me.”

Pan Han shrugged, stating it truthfully.
