"Come on, bro, crush them!"

"Don't worry, little caes!" Liu Bo waved one finger dismissively.

Then he picked up the dice cup and shook it with exaggerated flair.

Pan Ning only shook hers a couple of times. She opened it, glanced at her dice, and covered it again.

Seeing that Liu Bo was still shaking his cup wildly as if performing a ritual, she shot him a sharp look. "Hurry up."

"Uh, okay, okay." Liu Bo immediately behaved himself, while Meng Wenzhou held back his laughter and said nothing.

Liu Bo scratched his head and opened the lid of his dice cup.

Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou leaned over to look together.

Three twos, a one, a five, and a six.

It would be hard to lose even by calling numbers at random with this roll.

Liu Bo grinned. "Four twos."

"Five sixes."

"Five... Damn, how are we supposed to call after you two?"

Meng Wenzhou and Su Yang felt a little dizzy. The two of them called out randomly, "Open hers! I bet she doesn't have that many sixes."

"Why do I feel like she does?"

"Then call randomly. What's there to be afraid of? Worst case, we drink."

"Fine, then I'll call six twos!"

"Open it. I don't have any twos." Pan Ning gently opened her dice cup.

"Holy crap!" Liu Bo stood up and looked at Pan Ning's dice. She really didn't have any twos.

"Damn it, we can't beat her."

"It's not that you can't beat me. It's that the three of you are too bad." Pan Ning leaned against the sofa and said calmly.

Su Yang looked at Meng Wenzhou. "How is your sister so good at these games?"

"How would I know? I rarely come to bars with her."

Beside Pan Ning, Shen Yixue and Tang Yuwei happily clapped and cheered.

"Impressive, impressive! These three men are hopeless!"

"Who are you calling hopeless?" Men hated being told they were incapable.

To prove that they were capable, the three men downed a glass of liquor and continued challenging Pan Ning.

The three of them took turns, but they still lost far more often than they won.

Over an hour later, Su Yang waved his hand and slumped against the sofa. "I can't do this anymore. I can't drink another drop."

Liu Bo pulled Su Yang up. "Come on, bro. A man can't say he can't!"

"I'm not a man. Either way, I can't drink another drop."

Su Yang started acting shamelessly.

By then, Meng Wenzhou had simply leaned against Su Yang's shoulder and fallen asleep.

Across from them, aside from Pan Ning, Shen Yixue and Tang Yuwei were also drunk. Tang Yuwei in particular had already gone to vomit once, but she was still hanging on.

Pan Ning glanced at them all. Seeing that they had drunk enough, she took out her phone and sent Su Yang a message.

Su Yang pulled out his phone and read it blearily.

"Don't leave yet. I'll treat you to a late-night snack."

Su Yang froze, thinking, What's going on? She actually wants to treat me to a late-night snack alone. Hehe, sure, sure.

He immediately typed back, "Got it~"

"Then shall we call it a night?" Su Yang asked the others.

Seeing that everyone was preparing to leave, Tang Yuwei hurriedly stood up and walked over to Su Yang. In a soft voice, she said, "Brother Su, I didn't bring my key with me today. I won't have anywhere to go later."

"What? You didn't bring yours either?"

"Then go find Lin Yiyi. I transferred her some money and told her to get a room. Just go find her."

"I... I don't want to go find her~"

"If you don't want to, then get a room yourself."

"But I'll be scared staying alone..." Tang Yuwei said in a low, delicate voice.

Su Yang rolled his eyes inwardly. Scared my ass. I already passed up someone as gorgeous as Lin Yiyi tonight. Do you think I'm going with you?

"Then go get the room first. I'll come over later."

"Really?"

"Really, really. Go first, then send me the room number later."

"Okay~" After getting his answer, Tang Yuwei said goodbye to everyone and left first with a beaming smile.

Finally got rid of her. What a pain!

"Let's go too. Old Meng, wake up. Stop sleeping!"

Su Yang nudged Meng Wenzhou, who was leaning against his shoulder.

"Hm? We're leaving?" Meng Wenzhou sat up straight with unfocused eyes.

"Pretty much. It's getting late, and look at how drunk you are. Hurry home and get some rest."

"Okay, okay. Then let's go. See you later, Brother Su. Fatty, take me home."

"Sure thing." Liu Bo stood up and helped Meng Wenzhou to his feet.

He looked at Su Yang with a grin. "Brother Su, we're leaving first. Let's get together again next time!"

"Sure, next time! Wait."

"What is it?"

"You and I haven't added each other on WeChat yet. Come on, let's add each other."

"Sure thing." Liu Bo grinned, took out his phone, and added Su Yang on WeChat before helping Meng Wenzhou leave.

Now only Su Yang, Pan Ning, and Shen Yixue remained.

The three stood up and prepared to leave.

The earlier waiter, Xiao Li, hurried over and asked with a smile, "Brother Su, are you leaving?"

"Yeah, I can't drink anymore."

"Okay. How about I add you on WeChat, Brother Su? Next time you're coming, let me know in advance so I can save you a table."

"Sure, let's add each other." As he spoke, Su Yang added Xiao Li on WeChat as well.

Xiao Li then sent Su Yang and the other two off with a smile.

After leaving the nightclub and reaching the roadside, Pan Ning looked at Shen Yixue. "Yixue, isn't your boyfriend coming to pick you up?"

"He's probably still singing with his friends."

"I'm going to treat Su Yang to a late-night snack. Do you want to come?"

Shen Yixue glanced at Su Yang and shook her head with a smile. "I'll pass. I'm going to find my boyfriend. You two go ahead."

"Fine. Be careful on the way."

"Okay, bye."

Shen Yixue said goodbye to Su Yang and Pan Ning, then took a taxi and left.

"Let's go~"

"Where are we eating?" Su Yang asked.

"It's just a short walk. There's a beef-noodle place that tastes pretty good. After drinking, a bowl of noodles is incredibly satisfying."

"All right, let's go."

The two walked through the streets of Haicheng late at night. It was already half past one in the morning.

There were few pedestrians left on the road, and the traffic had thinned considerably.

The summer night breeze brushed against Pan Ning's delicate face, making her short, elegant hair sway gently.

"What made you decide to treat me to a late-night snack?"

Pan Ning turned to look at Su Yang. "I wanted to talk to you about the race."

"The race?" Su Yang paused, then suddenly remembered. "Oh, you mean the straight-line acceleration race?"

"Yeah. When will you have time?"

"Uh, anytime works. How about you decide?"

"The day after tomorrow. I'll ask Meng Wenzhou to help me find a place tomorrow."

"Do you siblings always call each other by your names?"

"Yeah. Is there a problem?"

"No, just asking."

After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at a lively little alley.

A roadside stall had been set up inside the alley, where a middle-aged woman was busy cooking noodles.

Steam continually billowed from the scalding pot.

Three or four wooden tables stood in front of the stall. A group of young people sat around them, eating fragrant beef noodles. The whole scene was full of warmth and life.

"This is the place." Pan Ning looked toward the stall.

"There are still this many people so late at night?"

"Yeah. She only opens at night. You've never eaten here before?"

"No. I didn't even know there was a noodle stall here."

"Then give it a try."

As they spoke, the two walked into the alley.

"Boss, two bowls of noodles, and add two soft-boiled eggs."

"Sure thing. Find a seat first." The owner agreed cheerfully.

Ding! Pan Ning's favorability toward the host has increased to 25. Reward: 200,000 yuan. *It finally went up.* *But it's only twenty-five. Take it slow. Winning Pan Ning over seems a little difficult, but I like challenging things.*

The two found a table and sat down.

While waiting for the noodles, Pan Ning propped up her chin and looked at Su Yang. "What's your relationship with those two girls at the bar?"

"Hm?" Su Yang scratched his eyebrow. "We're just ordinary friends. Lin Yiyi is a streamer. I gave her some gifts, and then she invited me out for a meal."

"What about the other one?"

"She's her friend. I'm not familiar with her either."

"Then why did they seem so close to you? Their chests were practically pressed against you."

"Uh, this..."

"You don't need to explain. I was just curious."

"Also, I noticed that both of them were whispering to you when they left. What were they saying?"

Damn, can I tell you they asked me to get a room with them?

"Nothing much. They just said goodbye before leaving."

"Really? It didn't look like that. If I'm not mistaken, they said they hadn't brought their keys and wanted to get a room with you, right?"

"What the hell? Do you have superhuman hearing?"
