Chapter 752 2 Not Confused 12
Zhang Xin and Meng Yunan exchanged a glance, both thinking to themselves, "This person is not easy to deal with."
Hearing what they had just said, a clear smile flashed in Meng Yubei's eyes.
These three people are all cunning and calculating, but Zhou Xun is clearly slightly better at the moment.
But the situation soon took a turn for the worse. At the dinner table, Meng Yubei watched as Meng Yubei and Zhang Xin took turns talking to Zhou Xun and urging him to drink.
Meng Yunan opened a bottle of red wine, poured wine for the three of them, picked up his glass, stood up, and said, "Brother Zhou Xun, I'd like to toast you and wish you success in your career."
"Thank you." Zhou Xun had no choice but to pick up his glass and drink with him.
He had just put down his glass when Zhang Xin poured him another: "Me too. I used to say I was going to surpass you, who came in second place. Even though I don't have that chance anymore, cheers."
There was nothing else to do; since things had already gone this far, Zhou Xun had no choice but to continue drinking.
"Brother Zhou Xun, I got into Peking University this time. You should be happy for me too. Let's have another drink."
Zhou Xun: "..."
"We haven't seen each other for years, let's drink until we drop tonight!"
Zhou Xun felt a bit of a headache: "..."
Meng Yunan poured more wine for her: "My sister can't drink because she's driving, so we'll have to drink a few more glasses. Cheers!"
Zhou Xun frowned, forced himself to finish the drink, and drank until his head started to spin.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Meng Yubei carried a plea for help that he himself didn't realize, and then he felt his head sink and he slumped onto the table.
Before my vision blurred, I thought to myself that I was dreaming again, and that she looked beautiful tonight.
Meng Yubei was almost full. The three of them had been drinking, consuming about three bottles of red wine, while she ate quietly.
"That's almost it."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin and Meng Yinan, seeing that Zhou Xun was already quite drunk, temporarily stopped what they were doing.
Meng Yinan tentatively asked, "Ahem, Brother Zhou Xun, did you come to Beijing this time specifically to see my sister?"
Zhou Xun felt very dizzy, and his consciousness was gradually becoming blurred, but in his hazy state, he could still hear Meng Yinan's voice.
Without thinking much, he instinctively replied, "Yes, I'm in Beijing to see Meng Yubei."
Zhang Xin and Meng Yinan exchanged a glance, both looking at Meng Yubei with knowing expressions.
Meng Yubei poured himself a cup of tea and was drinking it, not caring about the expressions on their faces: "Are you going to eat or not? If not, send them back."
"No, let's ask a few more questions," Zhang Xin said in a low voice.
Meng Yinan chimed in, "Yes, yes, sister, don't rush back. Sister Xin, you can ask her."
"Okay, I'll do it." Zhang Xin thought for a moment, then raised her voice and asked, "Zhou Xun, have you had a girlfriend in the past few years?"
"We've dated." As soon as Zhou Xun said this, Meng Yinan's eyes widened instantly. Wasn't he secretly in love with his sister?
Zhang Xin then turned to look at Meng Yubei again, but saw that she still didn't react.
Then they heard Zhou Xun add, "In a dream."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin glanced at Zhou Xun with a mocking look, then looked at Meng Yubei with an ambiguous expression.
She whispered to Meng Yinan and Meng Yubei, "See, I told you Zhou Xun was a repressed pervert."
After saying that, she asked Zhou Xun curiously, "Who were you with in your dream? Was it Meng Yubei?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun seemed to think that this was a secret he was too embarrassed to say, so he was somewhat reluctant to answer and only nodded.
"I really have a crush on you." Zhang Xin winked at Meng Yubei.
Seeing this, Meng Yubei said, "You've eaten enough, haven't you? You've asked what you needed to ask. Now go back."
“Okay, I’ll help Brother Zhou Xun,” Meng Yinan said.
Zhang Xin said with a smile, "I'll pay the bill." They got the person who treated them drunk today, so it's only right that they pay the bill themselves.
Meng Yubei took the car keys and prepared to drive.
After getting into the car, the three of them waited for Zhang Xin to return after paying the bill.
Before long, Zhang Xin returned and got into the passenger seat: "Zhou Xun had already paid the bill in advance. He's quite considerate."
Meng Yubei didn't say anything after hearing this, and started the car and drove away.
They first took Zhou Xun back. When they arrived at the hotel entrance, Meng Yinan helped Zhou Xun inside, while Meng Yubei and the other waited for him to come down.
There were only two people left in the car. Zhang Xin smiled mischievously and said, "Do you think Zhou Xun will feel embarrassed when he sobers up tomorrow and thinks about what happened tonight?"
"You have the nerve to talk about what you've done?" Meng Yubei glanced at her helplessly.
"Anyway, his embarrassment is directed at you, it has nothing to do with me and Xiao Nan, haha."
"What are you talking about?" Meng Yinan heard Zhang Xin's laughter as soon as he returned.
Meng Yubei said, "It's nothing, sit down quickly."
Back home, Meng Yubei changed her shoes and went into her room to take a shower.
"Sister Xin, you go take a shower first, I'll play a game first." Meng Yinan sat down on the sofa and took out her phone.
"You go first, I'll go make some hangover soup. You can have some after you've washed up."
As Zhang Xin spoke, she opened the refrigerator and took out what she had: oranges, apples, and red dates. She planned to add some vinegar and sugar and cook them together later.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yinan had no choice but to stand up: "Okay, then I'll go first."

"Host, wake up, the sun has already shone on your butt and then it's all gone."
Xiao Qi noticed that its host's phone lit up several times, and since it was bored today, it decided to use it as an alarm clock.
Half-asleep, Meng Yubei, who still wanted to sleep, frowned but ignored it.
"Host, host, someone has sent you a message."
"Xiao Qi, are you itching for a beating today?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi smiled but did not say anything more.
Although it stopped talking, Meng Yubei had already been woken up. After trying to fall back asleep for a while, he could no longer stay awake and had no choice but to open his eyes.
She reached for her phone on the bedside table, unplugged the charger, and then picked it up to look at it.
She opened the chat app and saw that Zhou Xun had sent her a message a dozen minutes earlier.
ZX: [My flight is at 6:30 PM.]
ZX: [Before I leave, can we grab a coffee together?]
Meng Yubei raised an eyebrow. Was he planning to confess his feelings to her?
She didn't hesitate much; she happened to be free anyway, and she figured she might as well see what he had to say.
M: [Okay, there's a nice coffee shop not far from my apartment complex, let's meet there.]
M: [Café Positioning]
Meng Yubei glanced at the time; it was 1:30 PM.
She stretched and prepared to wait five minutes before getting out of bed.
My phone rang; it was a message from Zhou Xun.
ZX: [See you in an hour and a half, is that okay?]
M: [Okay.]
After replying to the message, Meng Yubei got up, lifted the air-conditioned blanket, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

With two minutes to go before three o'clock, Meng Yubei entered the coffee shop diagonally opposite the residential area.
The coffee shop features a minimalist black design and a duplex layout. Downstairs, the only sounds in the lobby are music and people talking quietly.
After Meng Yubei went inside, she looked around and saw Zhou Xun sitting on the second floor near the railing, looking down at his phone.
