The Beautiful Time With You

Shi Yao scrolled all the way up to read the very first unread message, and sitting there was [Expert of the Monkeys]’s message: [Sis Yao, di di di.]

[Expert of the Monkeys] @’d [Yao Loves Ice Cream]

[Expert of the Monkeys]: Sis Yao, di di di. Time to play.

[Juice]: Sis Yao doesn’t seem to be around. Shall we play first?

The next message in the group was an hour and forty minutes later.

[Expert of the Monkeys]: Boring. I’m not playing anymore. No wonder people say it’s exhausting to play with one’s grandson.

[Juice]: Grandson, your words really echo my thoughts!

[Expert of the Monkeys]: Scram! I’m your grandfather!

“…” The two of them argued for ten whole minutes before they finally cut to a new topic.

[Juice]: Boss says that we can only get a feast once we finish the stockpile in the dorm room. Do you dare to play a drinking game with me? We’ll use dices!

[Expert of the Monkeys]: Come on then! Who’s scared of who?

The following messages were all about the dices thrown by Juice and Expert.

Shi Yao scrolled all the way down, and looking at the time, it suddenly struck her that those two had actually been throwing dices for nearly two whole hours now!

Taking an average of one dice throw every few seconds, they should have thrown it at least a thousand times by now, which meant that the two of them actually drank at least a thousand shots by now… and they still weren’t drunk yet?

Seeing this, Shi Yao couldn’t help but pop up in the chat out of sheer curiosity.

[Yao Loves Ice Cream]: Are you two actually the legendary ‘ Sober After a Thousand Shots ¹ ‘?

[Juice]: What are you talking about? This bit of alcohol isn’t even enough for us to floss our teeth!

[Expert of the Monkeys]: Sis Yao, it’s not that I want to brag, but if we claim that we’re second in drinking, there’s no one in the world who would dare to claim that they’re first!

This seems to be the first time Expert and Juice have used the words ‘we’ and ‘us’ so harmoniously…

While thinking such thoughts, Shi Yao typed on the keyboard and replied:[Impressive!]

[Juice]: You’re flattering us.

[Expert of the Monkeys]: It’s really nothing much.

At this point, [111111] sent in a picture filled with a mountain of Mai Dongs, followed by a message containing just a single digit: [ 9 ² ]

Even though his message was incredibly concise, everyone in the group still got it in an instant.

He was saying that the Mai Dongs were the alcohol that Monkey and Juice were talking about.

Pah pah pah! Even across the phone, Shi Yao could almost hear the vicious slaps on Expert’s and Juice’s faces.

The group was silent for roughly ten seconds before [Juice] sent over an ’embarrassed smile’ emoji. [Hehe, we were just joking. How could good students like us possibly battle each other with alcohol in our dorm room?]

[Monkey of the Experts]: Sis Yao, you should know, not only have I never touched a single drop of alcohol, I don’t smoke and gamble too. The legendary ‘ Student of Three Merits ³ ‘ is directly referring to students like me!

[111111] sent in another picture. It was a box of cigarettes and a lighter.

Seeing that image, Shi Yao burst into laughter.

Mister Numbers sure was a professional at crashing another person’s stage… But, she was more concerned about the mountain-like pile of Mai Dongs in the earlier picture…

Shi Yao typed out a question which had piqued her curiosity: [Why did you guys buy so many Mai Dongs?]

[Juice]: Boss bought them.

Shi Yao sent a ‘囧’ expression over before asking: [Do all tycoons shop like this?]

[Monkey of the Experts]: Well, that’s not really it. The reason why our boss bought so many Mai Dongs is for my goddess.

Barely after Shi Yao managed to read the message that Expert sent, Expert immediately withdrew it before sending a new one over.

[Monkey of the Experts]: Well, that’s not really it. The reason why our boss bought so many Mai Dongs is for my mommy.
