Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Bai Youwei finished the wine in her glass, and while Shen Mo was talking to Du Lai, she switched Shen Mo's glass with her own—

His glass was full.

Shen Mo sent Du Lai away, and she had just finished half of it. Seeing Shen Mo looking at her, she took a small sip and said, "I haven't finished drinking yet."

Shen Mo: "…"

"When did you become such a heavy drinker?" He was helpless and poured another glass of water, replacing the wine glass in Bai Youwei's hand.

Bai Youwei: "I only drink more when I encounter good wine."

Shen Mo chuckled: "You shouldn't drink good wine like this."

Bai Youwei pouted and replied, "Everyone drinks like this!"

Shen Mo glanced at the nearby tables; it was indeed the case. Most people had the attitude of 'seize the day' and were gulping down one glass after another! Only Yan Qingwen's table was slightly more restrained.

Yan Qingwen and he both belonged to the type who didn't drink at all. This was a habit developed from years of discipline, to keep their minds clear at all times.

As for Lü Ang and Tan Xiao, they drank wine as if it were water.

Even Shen Fei said, "Brother, drink more. These wines are from a wealthy businessman's collection. Each bottle was auctioned off, and you can't buy them outside. They're very rare."

Bai Youwei's eyes curved as she said, "Don't you think this scene is very similar to… in Wuxia novels, when a certain sect hosts heroes from all walks of life, serving them good wine and meat on the surface, but actually putting drugs in the wine, and a web of conspiracy is silently laid, and everyone is doomed…"

Tan Xiao shuddered, unsure whether to spit out or swallow the wine in his mouth.

…After hesitating for a long time, he swallowed it anyway.

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Fei frowned. "Professor Song invited everyone out of sincerity."

"Just kidding~" Bai Youwei replied lightly. She was always too lazy to say half a sentence more to people she wasn't familiar with.

Shen Fei's expression was still unpleasant, but because Shen Mo was beside him, he held back and didn't say anything.

"Those who were invited today are indeed all young and middle-aged." Shen Mo put a piece of food in Bai Youwei's bowl and said lightly, "Except for our table, there are no elderly or children at the other tables."

Shen Fei's expression became even more unpleasant. "Brother, how could you also…"

Shen Mo said, "Don't misunderstand. I'm not questioning Professor Song's intentions. I just think there must be a reason for gathering us people."

Bai Youwei looked around and murmured, "There are also very few women… only me, Su Man, Zhu Zhu… huh? Who is that woman next to Li Li?"

At the next table, there were originally only four people: Yan Qingwen, Lü Ang, Zhu Zhu, and Su Man.

At some point, two more chairs were added, and Li Li brought a young girl to sit down.

However, at this time, he had an angry expression, and seemed to be having another unpleasant argument with Su Man.

The two of them were like enemies, arguing as soon as they met, never stopping. Whether it was Yan Qingwen's group or Shen Mo's group, they were already numb to it.

Su Man, considering that there were guests all around, even though she was flushed with anger, suppressed her voice and said through gritted teeth, "I'll say it one last time! I didn't bump into her! Believe it or not!"

"If you didn't bump into her, did Xiao Qian sprain her ankle herself?!" Li Li angrily accused her, "You're always like this! You target Xiao Qian without distinguishing right from wrong! I brought her here to introduce Xiao Qian to Brother Yan, but why are you getting jealous! You have to bump into her to feel good?!"

"I didn't!" Su Man slammed the table!

Everyone around looked over.

The girl next to Li Li quickly said, "Sister Su shouldn't have done it on purpose. Her hand is still injured, so it's inevitable that she would lose her balance when moving the chair and bump into me… It's my fault. If I had dodged in time, it wouldn't have…"
