Chapter 272: Meal

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tan Zhao opened a bottle of beer and placed it in front of s.h.i.+ Bin. Then, he opened a bottle for himself and clinked gla.s.ses with s.h.i.+ Bin. What are you saying? I want to get along with you peacefully now, but youre feeling awkward about it. Do you only think its normal for us to quarrel?

s.h.i.+ Bin pouted. Thats not what 1 meant. Its mainly because the two of us have been arguing since we were young. Wouldnt you feel awkward if we suddenly shook hands and made peace? No matter how we eat this meal, it feels like a trap.

Tan Zhao said unhappily, Do you know how to speak properly? Are you scolding me or yourself?

s.h.i.+ Bin didnt say anything. As the two of them drank one bottle after another, Tan Zhao said, I treated you to a meal today because 1 wanted to let go of our former grudges. Its up to you whether you believe me or not. If youre willing to eat, eat. If youre unwilling to eat, leave now. Why do I have to suffer this after spending money?!

s.h.i.+ Bin also realized that he had said something wrong. Perhaps his temper had been too bad recently, but he wanted to scold anyone he saw. He reflected on himself and felt that he was in the wrong, so he picked up the wine bottle and apologized to Tan Zhao. I was careless with my words. Dont take it to heart.

Tan Zhao drank the wine as he said, Yo, its rare to hear you apologize. Alright, I accept this apology. Let bygones be bygones. From now on, were buddies!

The two of them drank one bottle after another. After a while, they became drunk. s.h.i.+ Bin hugged Tan Zhaos shoulder as he said emotionally, Ive been arguing with you for so many years and have developed an affinity for you. Now that youre suddenly graduating, I cant bear to part with you. If we dont see each other in the future, who should 1 bicker with when Im upset?

s.h.i.+ Bins words touched Tan Zhao. The relations.h.i.+p between the children was built from fighting. Sometimes, they seemed to be quarreling, but they were actually accompanying each other. Neither of them could be without each other.

Tan Zhao even felt that his relations.h.i.+p with s.h.i.+ Bin was closer than his relations.h.i.+p with Tan Jing. Although the two of them quarreled every day, if they didnt see each other for a single day, they would feel uncomfortable.

However, after arguing for so many years, this was the first time they sat down calmly to have a meal together.

s.h.i.+ Bin had been in a bad mood recently. He sat there without saying anything and kept drinking. Tan Zhao couldnt stand it anymore and said, What are you worried about? If you dont say a word, how will 1 know?

s.h.i.+ Bin lamented, Dont mention it. Nothing has been smooth sailing recently.

Tan Zhaos eyes darted around and he asked, Youre in a bad mood? After you enter the company, your brother will support you. Why are you so annoyed?

s.h.i.+ Bin sighed and said, Its precisely because Im working under my brothers watch that Im worried. Because of my brother, the employees dont even dare to let me work. My leader is so attentive to me every day. I dont even know which of us is the leader.

At the thought of Tan Jing, Tan Zhao felt worried. Stop talking. Your brother doesnt care about you. He left you in the company to fend for yourself. My brother scolded me just yesterday. I dont have any freedom at all.

The two of them smiled at each other. They were in the same boat.

One of them had parents who were overseas and grew up under s.h.i.+ Xiaos control. The other was doted on by his parents, but he shot himself in the foot by insisting on staying with Tan Jing. Now, they were both oppressed by their brothers and could only drink to drown their sorrows.

As Tan Zhao drank to his hearts content, he forgot the mission for this meal. He said to Wei Yang drunkenly, Go buy two more boxes of beer. The three of us wont go home until were drunk!

Wei Yangs alcohol tolerance was average, so he could only watch the two of them drink and clink gla.s.ses occasionally.

The three of them grew up together, but Wei Yang was good at studying and rarely fooled around with them. If there was a fight, Tan Zhao would avoid involving Wei Yang because he wanted to protect his buddy.

Therefore, other than fighting, Wei Yang followed Tan Zhao around.

Wei Yang swayed as he went to get the wine. When he returned, his expression wasnt right. He stammered, as if he had something to say, but didnt say it.

Tan Zhao was already a little drunk. Seeing Wei Yang like this, he patted his back and said, Buddy, if you have something to say, just say it..
