Chapter 156 Du Hongyuan's Troubles

Chapter 156 Du Hongyuan's Troubles

Kong Liu and Du Hongyuan walked out from the back door of the school and came to the first restaurant at the entrance - it was the food stall they brought Gu Chenxi to that day.

The proprietress warmly invited the two to sit down. Du Hongyuan was also a regular customer, so he read out the menu without even looking at the freezer: "One serving of dry-pot bullfrog, one serving of stir-fried snails, another serving of stir-fried clams, and a small serving of dry-pot roasted chicken."

"okay!"

The proprietress quickly memorized the menu and said, "Would you like something to drink?"

Gong Liu waved his hand and said, "First, a case of beer."

"Yo?"

Seeing that Gong Liu asked for a box of wine, Du Hongyuan's eyes lit up: "What's wrong with you today? You asked for a box of beer? In the past, when we were at a party, if I asked you to drink a bottle of beer, didn't you always look like you were dying?"

"Don't slander me."

Gong Liu curled his lips and said, "I just don't want to drink, and you and Lao Wang are drinking so enthusiastically, I can't disturb your gay relationship, right?"

"Get lost."

While the two were chatting, the boss had already brought over a box of beer.

Gong Yoo originally asked the boss for two large draft beer cups, but Du Hongyuan waved his hand and said, "If you want to drink, drink from the bottle. Only sissies drink from cups."

"..."

Gong Liu did not answer him, but just silently raised his middle finger. Du Hongyuan's provocation did not have any effect on Gong Liu. He still drank from the draft beer cup as usual.

"I wasn't planning on drinking today." Du Hongyuan bit open a bottle of beer with his teeth and continued, "But since you insisted on ordering some, I'll have to drink with you reluctantly."

Gong Liu had a smile on his face, staring at Du Hongyuan with eyes that seemed to penetrate people's hearts. He said, "You're drinking snails and clams. If you say you don't want to drink today, I really don't believe you."

"Cough cough..."

Du Hongyuan, whose thoughts were seen through, almost choked on his wine. He coughed twice and said, "You really understand me. How about this, you treat me to a meal and I treat you to a drink? How about that?"

"I don't care about your little tricks." Gong Liu said with disdain, picked up the draft beer cup and took a sip, and said: "Just drink your beer, you don't have to pay a penny today."

"Na na na!"

Du Hongyuan pointed at Kong Liu and said, "Now that you're with a rich woman, you look down on your brothers, right?"

"If I looked down on you, I wouldn't have invited you to dinner."

"That's right, hahaha."

The clams were fried first and served on the table.

The two of them ate clams and drank wine without saying anything for a long time, but the atmosphere was not too awkward.

"Come on, let's go!"

Du Hongyuan raised his glass and wanted to clink it with Kong Liu.

"Dang~"

Gong Yoo didn't say anything, but raised his glass and clinked it with his.

After clinking glasses, Du Hongyuan showed Gong Yoo a special skill - the dragon sucking water.

To put it simply, it means shaking the wine bottle, making the wine in the bottle rotate, and then drinking it all in one breath. However, Du Hongyuan did not perform well. He choked after drinking half of it, and the remaining half bottle of wine spilled all over the floor.

"Shameful."

Gong Yoo gave him a middle finger as a sign of respect, then picked up the draft beer cup and drank the full glass in one gulp.

Looking at Du Hongyuan who was wiping the wine stains with a tissue, Kong Liu asked, "Are you worried about something?"

"No, how is that possible?"

Du Hongyuan waved his hand and said, "What is my identity? Do I have any worries?"

Gong Liu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really?"

Du Hongyuan said categorically: "Really not!"

…………

"Lao Liu, I'm suffering!"

After drinking half a box of wine, Du Hongyuan was no longer as sober as he was at the beginning. While drinking, he began to complain to Gong Liu: "I don't know where to go every New Year. Can you understand my feeling? If the school dormitory was not closed during the New Year, I would rather stay in school and not go back."

Gong Yoo picked up the conch with a toothpick and asked, "You don't have anywhere to go for the New Year?"

"It's not that we have nowhere to go..."

Du Hongyuan shook his head and gulped down two more gulps of wine: "You know, my parents have their own families, my grandparents have passed away, and when school is on vacation, I have nowhere to go. When I go to my dad's house, my stepmother doesn't like me, and the kid she gave birth to doesn't get along with me either.

"When I go to my mother's house, I have to consider my stepfather's face at every turn. You know I have a bad temper. I have fought with that man twice. Every time I go there, we fight."

"Every winter and summer vacation, I go out to work, but on New Year's Eve, everything is closed and I have nowhere to go. If I see a restaurant open 24 hours, I will stay there for the whole night, order a lot of food, and eat alone..."

"You definitely don't know that feeling, that feeling where the whole world is having a family reunion, but you are like a superfluous thing, a dispensable "thing" that is never remembered by your loved ones. That feeling... you definitely can't understand it, right?"

"I..." Kong Liu didn't know how to respond to Du Hongyuan, so he remained silent.

As Du Hongyuan said, he has not experienced it, so he cannot empathize with it.

He suddenly remembered that during last year's winter vacation, Du Hongyuan was also the last one to leave the dormitory. He stayed until the day the dormitory closed before packing up and leaving. He was very confused at the time. Du Hongyuan was obviously a local like him, so why did he wait until the last to leave?

It was not until today that he finally understood Du Hongyuan's inner difficulties - who doesn't want to return to their warm home immediately after the holidays?

It was clearly the cause sown by the previous generation, but it was the next generation that had to bear the bitter consequences. Just think about it...it's ridiculous...and pitiful.

"Didn't you brag that you were allocated a house? Where is the house? Why don't you go back to your own home for the New Year?"

"The house in the suburbs is still in a rough state, drafty on all sides, and not as warm as the subway station. I don't have the money to renovate it. I'm still a poor student, with a poor face..."

After hearing what Du Hongyuan said, Kong Liu was completely speechless.

"drink……"

Gong Yoo picked up his glass and clinked it with the mouth of Du Hongyuan's bottle. He said, "A little drink can relieve all worries."

Then, he drank another full glass of beer.

Du Hongyuan also raised his glass and drank it in big gulps.

After three rounds of drinking, Du Hongyuan was completely unconscious and started talking nonsense.

"Gong Liu, let's start a business together?"

"Start a business?"

Gong Liu didn't drink as much as Du Hongyuan, and he could hold his liquor better than Du Hongyuan. Although he felt groggy, he wasn't drunk yet. "Why do you suddenly want to start a business?"

"I want to make money... I want to make a lot of money... I want to make a lot of money, so that... so that I won't be looked down upon... Everyone will... will..."

Before Du Hongyuan could finish his words, he dove headfirst into his rice bowl - this guy was actually drunk.

“Everyone will notice me!”

Before he completely fainted, Du Hongyuan used his last breath to speak out the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
