The sun went down, and the pot exploded in the house.

The air conditioner was turned to the lowest level, but it was still hot. Those who cut vegetables outside, those who made props at the door, those who played cards inside, and those who shit in the toilet... everyone was sweating profusely.

Most of the girls are busy making dumplings.

Cooking, what a performance opportunity.

Those who can be virtuous, those who can't be cute; those who are calm are mature, but those who are in a hurry are pitiful.

No matter what, as long as you come, you can always find your own seat.

Bai Lu and the youngest were helping to share the dishes in the backcourt, while the third child and sister Pi were making dumpling fillings in front.

No one has complete experience. Almost all the girls have a mobile phone to check the recipe of the dumpling stuffing. Finally, the onion ginger salty salt peanut oil, every condiment was not wasted, and poured a whole pot.

The chopsticks couldn't move, so Sister Pi washed her hands, rolled up her sleeves, "—get out of the way!"

Stretch one paw in and start stirring human flesh.

A few girls covered their mouths, "Ah..."

Sister Pi stared over, "Ah what!?"

The girl hurriedly said, "Sister Pi Niu, mix it up quickly, it will be too late to make dumplings later."

The boy was still booing beside him, "That's right, I'm starving to death."

"Why are you shouting! Shout again to eat raw!"

Two hours after the magic mushroom, the dumplings were finally finished. More than 20 girls have successfully created more than 20 styles, which are too numerous to enumerate.

At this time, the people in the room were basically hungry and crazy. There were three circles of people around a small induction cooker, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, with expectant expressions like refugees.

No one cares whether it is delicious or not, the dumplings are split up as soon as they come out of the pan, and almost 300 dumplings are divided up in an instant.

It was getting dark outside, and the atmosphere in the room was getting hotter and hotter.

After the meal, there are several piles of classmates, and they get together to play their own games. The store has taken over many similar activities, so the preparations are very thoughtful, there are all kinds of board game dice, and the poker cards are stacked high.

The four people in Bai Lu's bedroom came to the side of the room close to the air conditioner, sat directly on the carpet, and planned to play cards.

"Ouch..." Sister Pi was huge, and she took a lot of effort to sit down, and reached out to bring a pile of poker. "Play something and see."

"Red K? Four punches? Or beating the empress?" Sister Pi was chewing gum, and suddenly felt something fell beside her. She turned her head, was startled, and said involuntarily—

"What the hell?"

Bai Lu and the other three were also looking at the unexpected guest.

A boy, thin and small, with a handsome appearance, doesn't look like a waiter in the store, he has a student spirit, but he is not from his class.

The boy smiled shyly and raised his hand: "Hello, seniors."

Sister Pi's eyes widened, "What the hell?"

The boy sat down after saying hello, because Sister Pi next to her was really strong, and the boy couldn't cross his legs, so he just sat with his legs crossed like a little girl.

Sister Pi looked at it, her jaw was about to drop to the ground, "Damn it?"

Bai Lu was amused by Sister Pi, so she took the card and opened it, "Which college is it?"

The boy scratched his head and said with a smile, "New media."

"Yo." The third child raised his eyebrows, "We are directly related, why are you here?"

The boy said: "Senior Zhang Xiaofeng and I both belong to the regiment department, and he invited me to play."

Sister Pi turned her head to look at the group secretary behind who was aggressively stuffing dumplings, and then looked at the handsome junior sitting side by side, as if she understood something, she nodded and let out a long ah.

The junior looked at her eyes, didn't understand at first, and smirked. Smiling and laughing, he had an epiphany, his face turned red instantly, his forehead was sweating, and he waved his hands vigorously.

"No, no, no, it's not what you think!"

Sister Pi raised her eyebrows high, "Ah..."

The junior couldn't argue with his words, but Sister Pi laughed out loud and patted him on the back, so hard that he almost jumped off him.

"Just kidding."

Bai Lu glanced at her junior, then smiled and lowered her head to shuffle the cards.

I added my junior to play together, during which time Bai Lu went to the bathroom, and the youngest followed, "I'll go too, head of the room."

In the bathroom, the youngest said to Bai Lu, "It's so much fun for me to be teased by Sister Pi."

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Ask how old my junior is, maybe he's older than you."

The youngest raised her eyebrows, "That's my junior too... I don't know why he came to play with us." Bai Lu's dormitory is usually low-key, and it's not a popular dormitory.

After Bai Lu washed her hands by the sink, she swung the water and hooked her fingers at the youngest.

The youngest obediently came over, and Bai Lu whispered in her ear, "Do you still remember that when we were on our way to self-study in the morning, someone always stared at Sister Pi?"

"Huh? Is there?" The youngest was surprised.

Bai Lu: "Yes, I was called out by Sister Pi a few times, but she is so careless, so I probably don't remember it anymore." She said twice, "Poor little boy."

"I have no impression either."

Bai Lu smiled, as if the youngest had discovered the New World, "How did you notice that, wow! Then didn't he—"

Bai Lu put her finger to her mouth, "Hush your voice."

The youngest nodded excitedly, "Okay, okay!"

She put her hand on the doorknob, and as soon as she opened it, she heard Huang Xinying yell——

"Male god!"

Bai Lu paused, and saw a person coming in at the door.

Perhaps knowing that he was coming to play with the guests, Xu Hui took care of himself somewhat today.

The difference between his "care" and "no care" is not obvious, it is only reflected in some small details. Such as ironed clothes, clean shoes, exquisite watches, and light perfume...

At least she didn't drink before coming here, Bai Lu took a look, and pulled the youngest back to Sister Pi.

"I'll go... so we're already so familiar." The youngest leaned against the wall, watching Xu Hui sit down among the boys, not only Huang Xinying, but many people in the class went to say hello to him, Xu Hui smiled Deal with them one by one.

Huang Xinying said next to Xu Hui: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"It's not eight o'clock, I'm still early."

Huang Xinying went to the back and brought two bottles of foreign wine, and said, "I just went to the water bar to buy it, let's drink it while playing games."

"Rum." Xu Hui took a bottle, smiled at Huang Xinying and said, "Play games with him, how many are enough for you?"

Huang Xinying opened her eyes in doubt, "Huh?"

The boy who often went out to play in another class next to him saw it and yelled, "It's time to exchange it, just drink it and you're finished."

Huang Xinying snorted, "Why is it over, I drink very well!"

The boy was still teasing her, Xu Hui went to the door with a drink, and seemed to call someone.

After a while, someone will bring a bucket of ice cubes and a bottle of water.

Huang Xinying came over curiously, "What is it?"

"Lemon water, let me mix it for you."

"Lemon, how sour!"

Xu Hui smiled, "It's good for girls to eat more sour food."

The people next to him laughed.

After mixing the wine, the boys opened up and played dice.

The gameplay is simple, one-on-one, the loser drinks a cup.

Xu Hui is not a ostentatious character, but he still has a strong attraction. While playing, many people gathered around to look at Xu Hui and the pair.

Both Xu Hui and Zhang Xiaofeng sat on the ground, and after rolling the dice, they lowered their heads for a look, and then covered their own respectively.

Xu Hui raised his eyebrows, "You go first."

Zhang Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes, "Two four."

Xu Hui: "Three fives."

Zhang Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes again, "Well... four four!"

Xu Hui: "Open."

Zhang Xiaofeng's three dice were all four, and Xu Hui's three dice were one, two, three.

"Fuck, come again!"

Round after round.

"Two twos."

"Three three."

"Five six!"

"open."

"Hold!"

Zhang Xiaofeng's face was still flushed with the cool light wine that had been mixed.

One leg trembled dishonestly.

"Five six!"

"open."

"Damn it!"

There are more and more people around, everyone looks funny, and the atmosphere is high. In fact, it's not that Xu Hui has never lost, but he was too careless, and it seemed that he hadn't lost.

He took out a cigarette, lit one, leaned back and said with a smile, "You are too good, you..."

"Zhang Xiaofeng has drunk a lot." The third child whispered through the gap.

After Bai Lu and the others finished playing cards, they rested while eating snacks.

The youngest said: "Yeah, I think he's had almost 20 drinks... Will he be drunk?" As he spoke, he bumped into Bai Lu next to him.

Bai Lu is sorting out the cards that have been played, spades, hearts, peaches, diamonds, and clubs, sorting them from a to k. After being touched by the youngest, she put down the cards, seemed to think for a while, and then said to the youngest, "Can you help me get a cup too?"

"liquor?"

"Ok."

"Why are you drinking?"

"I'm a little thirsty, I want to drink something cold."

"Okay." The youngest went over, took out a paper cup, poured a glass of wine and came back.

"Thank you." Bai Lu took the wine and drank it in one gulp.

"Ah, why are you drinking so fast." The youngest just sat down.

"It's okay, the wine is not strong." Bai Lu said.

"Zhang Xiaofeng drank so much."

"It doesn't matter, he choked on half a case with the instructor at the last party, and that wine was much worse than this one. He will be fine if he drinks another twenty glasses of this concentration." Bai Lu put the glass aside, and said, "It's just that he drank and looked scary... Everyone's reaction to drinking is different."

"That's too much to drink..." The youngest murmured softly, "But Xu Hui really deserves to do this, he is really good at playing dice." She said admiringly, "He only drank three or four cups."

Three or four cups...

Bai Lu looked in Xu Hui's direction through the crowd.

The boys were all smoking, Zhang Xiaofeng was finally replaced, and another board game expert came on stage, playing back and forth with Xu Hui.

After finally losing twice in a row, Xu Hui picked up the wine glass amidst the laughter of the crowd.

For a moment, his eyes met hers from a slight angle.

Xu Hui's smile was a little cold at that moment from the cold wine in his hand.

He raised his head, the wine drank down his throat very quickly, and at the same time, he staggered his gaze.

"Let's play games!" Huang Xinying yelled in the room when it was almost nine o'clock, and went to the back room to call for someone, "Stop watching TV! Play games, play games, come out!"

Everyone gathered in a circle, no matter how spacious the living room was, it still seemed crowded at this moment.

There were not so many sofas and stools, and the boys showed grace, gave up their seats, and sat on the carpet one after another.

Xu Hui and Zhang Xiaofeng sat together, and the two formed a sharp visual contrast.

Zhang Xiaofeng's face was flushed from drinking, while Xu Hui's face was completely pale.

Huang Xinying's voice as a host has a unique advantage. She shouted for a long time, and finally explained the rules of the game in a noisy environment.

There is still a lot of wine that has been mixed, and the class committee decided not to waste it. The first game will consume all the wine.

"The first game is very simple! Everyone look at the cards in my hand!" Huang Xinying held up the poker and said loudly: "Wait, everyone will be dealt one and leave one for the dealer. After the dealer gets the cards, he will decide according to his own points. Call big or small! Then the people below can choose the root card or give up!"

Huang Xinying drew a card from the cards, and signaled: "For example, if the banker gets this ten of clubs! Decided to press the big one, then the people below can start to choose. If someone draws a small card like 2 or 3, they feel that they are Definitely not bigger than the dealer, you can choose to give up, give up and drink half a glass! The rest of the people all follow the cards, win without drinking, loser drink a glass!"

After finishing speaking, he added, "The above is for boys, and the amount for girls is halved!"

The game played by dozens of people is unorganized and messy. It can be clear in the first few rounds, but it is completely nonsense in the later rounds.

The four people in Bai Lu's dormitory are not high-profile, and it is easy to be submerged in this lively atmosphere. After all, in such an occasion, it is impossible for everyone to be taken care of. People's attention is always focused on a few people—such as the activists in the class and Xu Hui.

Shouting loudly over there, drinking wine while choking her neck, Bai Lu asked the youngest in a low voice: "Is it okay?"

In the first round of dormitory 517, except for sister Pi, Bai Lu was thirsty and drank a glass of wine. When she didn't pay attention, she found that the youngest also drank half of the glass.

The third child pushed her, "Why are you so affordable, you still drink if you can't drink?"

The youngest was a little aggrieved: "Didn't you lose?"

The third child: "Drink if you lose, no one is looking at you, just drink some drinks and let it go."

The youngest hadn't had a lot of alcohol and had a strong reaction. Sister Pi came over and said, "Is it alright?"

Bai Lu looked at Sister Pi: "Where's your junior?"

"Let's go, go back and do my homework." Sister Pi stretched her clothes, patted her shoulder, and said to the youngest: "Come here, sister, don't lean against the room manager, her shoulders are dry, you don't mind it." panic."

Bai Lu supported the youngest: "What do you think, why don't I take you back first?"

The youngest shook his head, "It's fine."

Sister Pi curled her lips and said, "Director, you're making too much of a fuss, our youngest son is almost twenty, isn't he, so we have to step into the world of adults step by step."

The third child snorted, "That's right, the so-called adult world is drinking and eating meat. You can't let her drink calcium milk every day."

Sister Pi sang with the third child, "It's the first time I drink alcohol, I feel dizzy, just practice slowly and you'll be fine."

Bai Lu smiled and sat back straight, "It's not that easy to practice."

"how?"

"It's not easy to practice alcohol." Bai Lu listened to Huang Xinying's chirping and clinking of glasses behind her, and said thoughtfully, "Whether you can drink or not is determined by nature."

Regardless of the gameplay or the trick, it worked anyway, and the wine that was mixed in several tanks quickly bottomed out.

The so-called telling the truth after drinking, the atmosphere in the room is warm, and a group of people gather together to talk freely.

Bai Lu turned her head and saw Xu Hui smoking a cigarette while leaning against the wall next to the TV in his spare time.

The third child also saw it, and whispered, "Maybe he's bored, he's still tired from playing, look at his face is so pale."

Bai Lu shook her head invisibly, and said to herself, "He's sobering up..."

Huang Xinying came out of the house with a small box in her arms, "Come on, come here, let's play the next game!"

The second item is the card that everyone wrote anonymously when they first entered the door in the afternoon.

Everyone dawdled back to the center.

"I don't need to introduce the rules here, let me see where to start..." Huang Xinying put the box in the middle, and ordered a boy, "Let's start with you."

"Ah!?" The boy shouted exaggeratedly, and then slowly pulled out a card.

Huang Xinying snatched it and read aloud:

"Women take off their make-up, men take off their nakedness!"

The first picture was full of drama, the whole class burst into laughter, the boy next to him went straight up to pick off his clothes, and the boy who was stripped complained uncontrollably.

Xu Hui got up and left the room.

In a blink of an eye, Bai Lu saw that Sister Pi and the third child were watching intently, and the youngest rested with her eyes closed.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the game, and Bai Lu followed silently.
