On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

After taking the group photo, the people on the stage dispersed.

Qi Yu also completed his task and came over to discuss with them where to go for dinner.

"Chen Qian." They heard someone calling in the distance.

Chen Qianren froze when his name was suddenly called.

I started to feel suspicious. Although I didn't know him completely, we weren't close enough to say hello either. Whenever we met before, we were usually very cold, without talking or communicating.

"Senior Ikemu."

"Hello, senior."

Ke Wu and Qi Yu faced the direction of the people coming, reacted faster than Chen Qian, and greeted them.

"Hello, Senior Chi Mu." Chen Qian turned towards the voice and found that the person was already in front of him, only one step away. In his nervousness, Chen Qian's tone was not very enthusiastic. "Long time no see."

"Long time no see. How have you been recently? It's been over a year. We're seniors now." Chi Mu was unusually talkative, quite different from the person he remembered. He was very warm and friendly. "Just now, Xiao Qi said that you guys came to help today. It must be very hard work."

Unlike the distorted sound that just passed through the wires, being so close to the sound made Chen Qian feel like he was in a dream. Uncontrollable emotions surged up and choked in his throat.

Before Chen Qian could reply, he placed one hand on the top of his head and rubbed it in a small arc, as if to comfort him.

Chen Qian was surprised by the intimate gesture and said politely: "No, it's great to be able to help."

After receiving the answer, the other party chuckled and asked, "Are you going to eat? Why don't you all come together? It's my treat tonight."

"Thank you, senior, but it's a bit of a pity, because my roommate is still waiting for us in the dormitory. We have already made an appointment, and we can't leave him alone." Ke Wu thought of Sun Cheng who was alone and declined politely.

"Then come along." But Chi Mu didn't seem to care much about this rejection. Just then, someone called him from the other end, so he reminded them, "Don't leave, you must come along," and turned around.

"No, Chi Mu knows you, why didn't you mention it?" Ke Wu looked at the departing figure with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't quite understand what had just happened, but the friendly gesture seemed like someone he knew well.

On the other hand, Chen Qian's expression was also unexpected, which made Ke Wu even more confused.

"No, we just know each other a little bit... We were in the same middle school together. My brother would take me to play together, but we never talked..." Chen Qian recalled the pressure that had disappeared from his head.

At that moment, his brain paused, and he could barely hear what Chi Mu said. It wasn't until the man left that he finally recovered, and his face began to heat up.

What does it mean?

She suddenly did something like this because she treated him like a younger brother... That's why... just like Ke Wu and Qi Yu...

He gave himself a lame excuse, and then chose to quietly seal up this rare memory like a pirate's treasure.

Because Chi Mu was firm in his attitude, he still called Sun Cheng and asked him to come out for dinner together.

The host had already said so much, it was difficult for them to refuse, nor could they just abandon Sun Cheng.

Cars were driving by on the street, and the lights on the street began to light up.

Everyone who participated in the event had been called in, and it was quite crowded. It was difficult to gather on the street, so we made a phone call, arranged a large private room at a restaurant that could accommodate us, and then we all squeezed in.

A large round table, with a group of people gathered around it, creating a lively atmosphere.

Most of the restaurants around the school are affordable and similar to food stalls. You don't need to look at the menu to order food. You have to go to the door to see the ingredients. There are several large freezers filled with things.

Just tell the store what you want to eat and how to cook it, and they will deliver it to you when it is ready.

The few people who stayed to order food came back shortly after everyone sat down.

Chi Mu was very polite. He half pushed and half helped the others to go in and sit down first. By the time it was his turn, the only empty seat left was the one next to Chen Qian.

There were so many people that even the largest round table in the store had to have two chairs added to just enough space. Everyone moved their chairs around to accommodate the people who came in later, so in the end everyone was able to bump elbows with the people next to them.

Chen Qian's peripheral vision focused on the edge of the clothes he was touching, and he felt a little dizzy. It was too close, and the distance of many years was suddenly reduced to just a few layers of fabric.

His heartbeat was heavy and loud, making people worry that the people around him might hear it too.

Fortunately, it is cool weather now and I can wear a coat. If it is summer and I only wear short sleeves, it will be terrible. My hot body temperature may be exposed.

Chen Qian was daydreaming when the door of the box behind him was pushed open.

The drinks were served before the dishes.

The bottles were picked up and scattered on the table. Chen Qian took a bottle, filled the glass, and took two gulps of ice-cold beer.

It is both to calm myself down and to hide any blush on my face.

The surrounding noises blended together, inexplicably like the busy tone after a TV show ended. But among them, one voice was incredibly clear: "Chen Qian."

Chen Qian was awakened by his own name. He looked up and saw first a bony hand holding a full transparent glass, and then smiling eyes.

He lowered the cup and leaned forward, making a crisp clinking sound.

……

Although we were one of the earliest groups to arrive, the class inevitably ended at almost nine o'clock.

A large group of people, drunk, gathered at the door of the store and shouted loudly.

The worst thing that no one could have expected was that there was a drunkard in the team. He kept shouting that he wanted to crawl on the ground in the dark. Others tried to help him and persuade him.

If you are not careful, it will become even more chaotic, and even passers-by have to deliberately avoid them.

Qi Yu couldn't hold his liquor well, so Ke Wu was the one who took the initiative to help him block the wine. Unfortunately, both of them were the type of people who didn't respond to persuasion at the table, so in the second half, everyone got drunk and started to make a fuss, so Ke Wu was now being supported by Qi Yu and Sun Cheng in the middle.

"Senior, how do we get back?" Chen Qian heard someone ask Chi Mu. They were very close to him, just behind him.

"I'll just take a taxi. Um... Chen Qian? My phone is out of battery and I don't have any cash on me. Do you mind calling a taxi for me?" The person behind him suddenly touched his shoulder.

Maybe he was drunk, or maybe it was some other reason. Anyway, he turned around and agreed to this somewhat out-of-line request without wasting any time.

After sitting with his head hunched all night, he finally found the chance to look at this face. He had to take the opportunity to take a closer look.

I overheard a conversation between Chi Mu and others.

Chen Qian couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He wasn't such a friendly person before. Didn't I always remember him as aloof and cold? Back then, I had to look him in the eye to talk to him alone.

It's always difficult to get a taxi here at night, you have to wait at a certain time.

Chen Qian looked at Chi Mu and then at his roommate who was waiting for him.

Chi Mu felt that he was still conscious, but Ke Wu's condition was obviously not good.

He thought that he had not drunk much and could go back alone after the meeting, so he took the initiative to suggest carrying Ke Wu back to the dormitory to rest, while he would accompany Chi Mu and wait.

After all, everyone was tired, so no one objected, and the three of them just went back with their bodies tilted.

The wind at night was blowing in gusts, carrying a bit of tenderness. People who were originally quite sober saw the alcohol rising up and overwhelm their heads, making it difficult for them to stand steadily. Chen Qian suspected several times that Chi Mu was knocked unconscious by the wind.

When they finally managed to get a taxi, Chi Mu was almost like Ke Wu, leaning weakly against Chen Qian, feeling very heavy. His furry head rested lightly against his neck, so close that Chen Qian could hear his breathing.

Occasionally, Chi Mu shook a few times, and his breath would pass by his chin and the bottom of his ears.

"Classmate, is your friend alone? He won't vomit in my car, will he? Can he walk back after getting off the car? Do you want to find someone to pick him up?" After helping the man to the back seat with the driver with great difficulty, Chen Qian planned to go back to school first, but the driver stood by and didn't move, just nagging, so he didn't want to leave first.

"Then let's go together." Chen Qian was also a little worried. They had wasted a lot of time taking a taxi. It was already half past nine. According to his estimation, he could get back to the dormitory before the eleven o'clock curfew. It would take less than forty minutes to go back and forth. It would be bad if Chi Mu didn't get home safely and fell asleep on the way.

Thinking of this, he simply went around to the other side, opened the car door and got in.
