65: Chapter 65 The Great River Flows East, My Boyfriend Is Holding It In

Half an hour later.

Shen Muyan gripped Tang Luochuan's collar tightly and said sternly, "Call me big sister!!"

Tang Luochuan was pulled so hard he couldn't move, slumping on the sofa. With a look of utter hopelessness, he glanced coldly at the two drunken people before him, but obediently replied, "Big sister... big sister, is that okay?"

Jiang Jinyue was holding a wine glass, humming to herself, and swaying as she walked: "Deng deng deng deng... deng deng deng deng... The great river flows east... The stars in the sky join the Big Dipper..."

Tang Luochuan suddenly wanted to laugh.

Shen Muyan gripped even tighter, pointing at his nose, and said drunkenly, "Did I tell you to laugh? Little brother is disobedient..."

"Yes! Big sister... hehe... you're right!" Tang Luochuan lowered his head to suppress his laughter as he replied.

He muttered under his breath, "Damn, there's an unexpected bonus."

"Big sister, come on! Let's dance... you see if I dance better, or if Su Wantang dances better!" Jiang Jinyue grabbed Shen Muyan's arm and pulled her up.

Shen Muyan immediately said heroically, "Of course my little sister dances better. What does Su Wantang even count for... *hiccup*..."

Jiang Jinyue: "Dance!! The vast horizon is my love..."

Shen Muyan: "Hey!"

Jiang Jinyue: "Flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green mountains"

Shen Muyan: "Wow!"

Jiang Jinyue: "What kind of rhythm is the most, most swinging!"

Shen Muyan: "What is it!"

Jiang Jinyue: "What kind of singing is the most joyful"

Shen Muyan: "What exactly is it!"

Tang Luochuan's expression twisted; he bit his lip, barely able to hold back his laughter.

But he also felt a bit bitter. How did these two girlfriends end up like this after drinking?

"Sigh, why are they performing a crosstalk routine?" The young man sighed and poured himself a drink.

He had originally planned to take them to the bedroom to warm the bed.

Now this! It would be good enough if they didn't tear the house down.

However, he wasn't idle; his phone had been set up on the side since they got drunk, and everything had been recorded.

"Luochuan, am I beautiful??" Shen Muyan bounced around happily.

Tang Luochuan clapped in cooperation: "Yes, yes, beautiful! Keep going, I guarantee you two will become famous..."

As he spoke, he picked up the phone and checked the recording.

More than half an hour later, the two were finally tired and fell asleep on the sofa.

The living room finally quieted down, with only the sound of the evening breeze blowing gently against the curtains outside the window.

Tang Luochuan took a quilt from the bedroom and covered them both.

He crouched by the sofa, looking at their flushed cheeks and long, drooping eyelashes. Usually one was cold and arrogant, the other gentle and charming, but now, drunk and asleep, there was a touch of childish cuteness between their brows.

Tang Luochuan couldn't help but reach out and gently flick their noses: "You two little brats..."

...

Just as he sat back on the sofa, his phone vibrated again. This time it was a message from Meng Fanyi: [Tang Luochuan?]

Tang Luochuan glanced at it and typed a quick reply: [Yes, it's me!]

He didn't intend to chat much. After all, he didn't have any special feelings for Meng Fanyi, and replying a couple of times was just to save face for his mother.

Meng Fanyi replied very quickly on the other end: [I heard you're also studying in Magic City?]

Tang Luochuan: [Yes, Jiaotong University! What about you?]

Tang Luochuan actually wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible, but he gradually realized that this Meng Fanyi was very good at chatting...

Meng Fanyi: [Your family is getting demolished?]

Tang Luochuan: [Yes.]

Meng Fanyi: [How many people are in your family...]

Tang Luochuan: [Five. Grandparents, parents, and me!]

Meng Fanyi: [Hey? Do you remember Wang Qiang from elementary school...]

Meng Fanyi: [By the way, do you remember that sugar cake shop at the gate of our elementary school? I passed by a few days ago, and it's still open! The owner even recognized me! You bought a piece back then and shared some with me.]

Meng Fanyi: [And in middle school, you blocked a basketball for me. I still remember that hit on your back. I secretly slipped you a pack of Band-Aids, and you even said I was being dramatic!]

The girl kept chatting away, and Tang Luochuan couldn't seem to find an opening to end the conversation.

What's more, the childhood anecdotes she occasionally brought up could easily pique Tang Luochuan's interest. Those dusty childhood memories surfaced, making him feel a bit nostalgic.

At first, when asked about his family's demolition, Tang Luochuan felt a trace of discomfort and didn't want to talk about it.

But on second thought, he didn't dwell on it—after all, he now possessed vast wealth.

Over this period, money had completely refreshed his perspective. In his eyes, this demolition business really wasn't a major issue worth worrying about.

It was more about his reluctance to part with his old family home.

Meng Fanyi: [Let's meet up during National Day? Or go back together?]

Tang Luochuan wanted to type "We are not suitable," but he hesitated...

"Ugh, so annoying! My mom too, she just has to do this."

In the end, he agreed to meet her during the National Day holiday, and they would see if anything came of it later.

If the girl insisted on pestering him, he definitely wouldn't accept it.

Because it was too forced, it would make him feel resistant...

However, when it came to childhood sweethearts, Tang Luochuan thought about it carefully and realized he did have one.

The two were close in elementary and middle school, but by high school, the friendship hadn't progressed at all and instead slowly faded.

Especially as they grew up, the boundaries between boys and girls became clearer, and their circles drifted apart. As they walked their separate paths, the distance grew.

He spent his days hanging out with his brothers on the court, playing basketball or soccer, never tiring of it despite being drenched in sweat.

As for the girl, she was always gathering with her sisters to chase stars, watch dramas, and gossip about all sorts of things—topics he couldn't join in on.

Different circles, different paces; naturally, they lost the inclination to hang out together, and slowly drifted apart.

...

Suburbs of Magic City, a school Dormitory.

Meng Fanyi finished chatting with Tang Luochuan, opened another person's chat box, and sent: "Hello!"

A roommate suddenly walked over: "Fanyi, what happened? You look so happy?"

"Oh! It's nothing!" Meng Fanyi couldn't help but smile.

"How are things with Liu Wei?"

"Getting ready to break up!" Meng Fanyi said nonchalantly.

"Huh?" The roommate was a bit confused: "No way, he even came to our Dormitory yesterday to wash your feet. And Liu Wei's family background is pretty good, right? Why?"

Meng Fanyi yawned and stretched; describing her as having a voluptuous figure was no exaggeration: "There's demolition back home... Liu Wei's family background is garbage! Everything he said when he was chasing me was bragging. His dad is just a worker—he said he was in a state-owned enterprise! But it's actually outsourcing! His mom is just a street sweeper... Enough, I'm tired! Time to rest!"
