I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 231 I just made someone cry, I'm going to check on her.

Around 7 PM, the atmosphere reached its peak, as almost everyone who had been drinking was slightly tipsy.

In this state, everyone became more excited and talked more, even those who didn't drink were affected.

Yin Mengran also drank quite a bit, because her classmates could all tell that Zhou Heng wasn't as scary as they thought today, so they dared to drink a few more glasses with her; otherwise, they wouldn't even dare to say a word to him normally...

Yin Mengran leaned on Zhou Heng's shoulder, her face flushed. She had pushed herself a bit today, not wanting to spoil the fun, so she had accepted almost every drink offered. Now she was a little tipsy...

Zhou Heng gently stroked Yin Mengran's face and whispered, "Don't drink anymore, I'll drink it for you."

"Good~"

Yin Mengran's voice was soft and sweet, her eyes were somewhat unfocused, and she even disregarded the classmates present, reaching out to wrap her arms around Zhou Heng's neck...

"Oh my—"

The students who saw it started to jeer, raising their eyebrows and grinning mischievously. They wouldn't see anything like this at school.

The contrast between the quiet class monitor and her current alluring appearance, with her arms around someone's neck, was striking to them...

Tong Yining watched this scene unfold. This was the first time she had ever seen Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran in such close contact, and for a moment, she couldn't quite accept it...

"Shhhhh-"

A whistle rang out, and Tong Yining turned her head to look. She saw Tang Zhi sitting there, staring at her.

Tang Zhi slowly raised her wine glass and touched it lightly. Tong Yining paused for a moment, then also picked up her glass and lightly clinked it against Tang Zhi's glass.

The two drank their wine in one gulp, placed their glasses on the table, and stared at each other as if exchanging glances.

"You're quite sentimental; after all this time, you still can't let go?"

Tang Zhi said calmly, while Tong Yining gently shook her head in denial:

"No... I'm just... intrigued; I've never seen the two of them like this before..."

"Oh?"

Tang Zhi watched as Tong Yining lowered her head, staring at the empty wine glass, a look of great interest on her face.

She tapped the table and said:

"So this is the result you got? You're too conflicted, you're just being stubborn with yourself. What's so hard about admitting that? Yin Mengran likes Zhou Heng without hiding it, without being awkward, and she's brave enough to be honest about her feelings. She deserves it."

"And you, you couldn't have started liking someone only after losing them, right? You must have had those feelings before, otherwise Zhou Heng wouldn't have been so persistent. He also saw hope in you, but various factors led you astray. You started weighing Zhou Heng on a scale. In your heart, he wasn't first, wasn't your firm choice, so of course you left..."

"So you don't need to feel uncomfortable. You are far inferior to Yin Mengran. You are not as good as her in any way. You lost completely. The main reason is that you never firmly chose Zhou Heng. In this respect, you are far inferior to Yin Mengran."

Tang Zhi became more and more animated as she spoke, talking non-stop, but Tong Yining kept her head down and remained silent...

"Hey... Tang Zhi... stop talking..."

At this moment, Tian Run waved his hand, signaling Tang Zhi to stop.

After Tang Zhi shut her mouth, she saw Tong Yining's body tremble slightly, and a moment later, a tear fell down...

"Uh..."

Tang Zhi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It seemed she had attacked Tong Yining's weakest point, hurting her and actually making her cry...

"Well..."

Tong Yining covered her eyes with her hands and let out a muffled groan. Tian Run immediately pulled her away and whispered:

"Okay, okay, don't cry, come on, let's wash our faces..."

She needed to get Tong Yining away quickly; if she were caught crying here, it would be incredibly embarrassing...

Tang Zhi watched Tian Run leave with Tong Yining, then poked at the fruit on her plate with her fork and muttered:

"Indeed, dating is such a hassle."

"What's wrong?" Yu Lingxue returned at that moment and sat down next to Tang Zhi.

Seeing that Tang Zhi's expression was a little off, he asked in a low voice,

"It's nothing, I just made someone cry, I'm going to go check on her."

Tang Zhi thought about it and realized she should try to comfort her. She realized she might have gone a bit too far; after all, they were classmates.

Leaving this impression at the very end isn't a good idea.

So Tang Zhi stood up, left her seat, and went outside.

Yu Lingxue watched Tang Zhi leave, and only after Tang Zhi had walked out the door did Yu Lingxue turn her head back...

She glanced at Zhou Heng and saw that Yin Mengran was leaning on Zhou Heng's shoulder, looking a little drunk, but still sober and just resting.

Zhou Heng seemed a bit tipsy too, his face flushed, but he kept drinking. Many of the boys at the table were resting with their heads on the table.

Zhou Heng seemed unaffected, drinking glass after glass.

Yu Lingxue picked up the red wine, stood up, and went to Zhou Heng's side, waiting for him to finish his glass...

"Here, Zhou Heng, let me pour you some. Let's have another drink, a toast to you all..."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

Zhou Heng didn't say much, but pushed the cup towards Yu Lingxue and continued chatting with the other classmates.

Yu Lingxue started pouring wine for Zhou Heng, and when she was halfway through,

A white powder seeped into her palm and quickly dissolved in the red wine...

Yu Lingxue looked up at Zhou Heng and, finding that he hadn't noticed, pushed the red wine back.

"Here... I'll toast you..."

Yu Lingxue picked up her cup.

Zhou Heng picked up the glass that Yu Lingxue had just poured and drank the wine in it...

"Goo-"

Watching Zhou Heng drink it, Yu Lingxue's heart pounded, she kept swallowing, and cold sweat poured down her back...

"What's wrong? Want a drink?"

After Zhou Heng finished drinking, he saw Yu Lingxue still standing there, staring at him, and asked her a question with some surprise.

"Oh...oh okay..."

Yu Lingxue downed her glass of wine in one gulp. She felt herself getting drunk, her vision was even blurry...

After finishing her drink, Yu Lingxue returned to her seat.

Zhou Heng, on the other hand, continued chatting with his classmates, seemingly unaffected.

Yu Lingxue glanced at the time on her watch, watching the hands tick away, her heart pounding faster and faster...

"About...ten minutes..."

About seven or eight minutes later,

Zhou Heng's arm accidentally knocked over a wine glass...

"Huh... what's wrong..."

He frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong. He felt himself starting to sweat, his body getting hot, and his heart racing...

"I...drink too much?"
