Chapter 157 - A Slap
"For Princ.i.p.al Lu to be able to become the princ.i.p.al of a high school at such a young age, that"s something that is rarely seen even in our Empire. She"s really young and promising."
"You"re too kind.""Come, I toast to Princ.i.p.al Lu."
"Thank you."
In the private room, the exchange group from the island nation began to flatter Lu Xingran. Then, they began toasting Lu Xingran one by one.
At first, Lu Xingran didn"t think much of it and politely drank with them. However, in the end, she drank too much and her expression changed.
"President Lu talks elegantly and even knows the language of our empire. I think Princ.i.p.al Lu has studied in the empire before, right?" Another young female teacher holding a wine cup walked up to him and said."I"ve never been to the Island Country, I"ve just taught myself a few days of your prophecies. I can"t do anything about it." Lu Xingran replied humbly.
"Wow, Princ.i.p.al Lu is too awesome. She can actually speak the Empire"s language so well. Come, just because you"re so awesome, we must drink a cup. I"ll do it first." The young female teacher said with an exaggerated smile. She didn"t give Lu Xingran a chance to refuse and drank the red wine in her hand in one gulp.
"Thank you."
Lu Xingran frowned. She didn"t want to continue drinking, but the other party had already finished the red wine in her hand. If she didn"t drink it, it would be too impolite. She could only drink the red wine in her hand.
"Princ.i.p.al Lu sure has a good tolerance for alcohol. They"ve already given you a toast. I can"t possibly miss it. Come, let me toast first."Another person walked over and drank the red wine in his hand without a second word.
"...""F * ck …"
Lu Xin Ran gritted his teeth and drank another gla.s.s of red wine. After drinking a few cups of red wine, Lu Xin Ran, who did not have a lot of alcohol to begin with, flushed red.
"Princ.i.p.al Lu, I"m the dean of Evergreen Senior High, and it"s my great honor to meet you. I toast to you, here"s my first toast.""..."
"Princ.i.p.al Lu, I"m a teacher at Evergreen Senior High. I"m really happy to be able to get to know you. I toast to you, let"s do this first."
"..."
Next, the teachers from the island nations came over one by one to toast to Lu Xingran. Their excuses were very good, so Lu Xingran had no reason not to drink.
Amongst the people from Evergreen Senior High in Island, the teachers and students were the same. More than ten teachers came up one after another to toast Lu Xingran, seemingly very polite on the surface, but Lu Xingran was unable to refuse. In other words, they were drinking Lu Xingran to the point of intoxicating her.
"That"s too shameless. They actually teamed up with over a dozen people to get President Lu drunk. No way, we have to help them." On the side of Tianhai Yizhong, quite a few teachers walked up with dissatisfaction.
"I"m sorry, Princ.i.p.al Lu"s tolerance for alcohol is not good. Let me drink this cup for her."
"Sigh, you all wish to drink with us. Naturally, we are extremely welcoming. Come, come, let"s drink together." The people who had already drank with Lu Xingran immediately surrounded them, pulling over the people who had come forward to help Lu Xingran for a drink.
"President Lu is President Lu. You are all of you. After you greet President Lu, it will naturally be your turn."
"..."
The people who had already shouted with Lu Xingran shamelessly blocked the people who were helping Lu Xingran. Not only that, even the young students of the island nation surrounded the female leaders of the First Sky of Sky Sea High School who wanted to help Lu Xingran, causing no one to be able to help Lu Xingran.
"I can"t drink."
Lu Xingran"s vision was already blurry, and her entire body was filled with drunkenness.
"Princ.i.p.al Lu, you"ve already drunk with them. How can you not drink with me? Come, let"s drink." Another teacher from an island nation stepped forward and said."I, I"m already drunk …" Lu Xingran was on the verge of collapse, unable to speak quickly.
"You are the princ.i.p.al of the First High School of Tianhai. How can you say you"re drunk? No, this cup must be drunk with me. Otherwise, we will immediately end this exchange and return to the empire." The teacher deliberately sneered."I... "I"ll drink …" Lu Xingran had expended a lot of energy and effort in order to complete this event. Furthermore, he was still drunk and muddleheaded. All he could think about was how to satisfy the Evergreen Senior High"s team, and so he continued to drink wine.
"President Lu, you can"t drink anymore." Little Ceng rushed forward to stop Lu Xingran."No, I still want to drink …" Lu Xingran was intoxicated. He only wanted to keep the exchange group from Changqing High School in the island, so how could he be willing to listen to Little Ceng"s words. He waved his hand and was about to push her away.
"Princ.i.p.al Lu, this won"t do. You won"t be able to take it if we continue drinking." Little Zheng was so anxious that he was on the verge of tears. She could see that these people from the archipelago had been harboring ill intentions towards Lu Xingran by toasting him. They wanted to get him drunk on purpose.
"I"m not drunk. I can"t disappoint my friends at Evergreen Senior High. I want to drink …" Lu Xingran muttered as he drank the red wine in his hand.
At this moment, Lu Xingran had already drunk more than ten gla.s.ses of red wine, which was much more than what she could handle. Other than the conviction that she would do well in this exchange, she had no other thoughts.
"President Lu sure has a good tolerance for alcohol. Let me toast you." At this moment, the seemingly student of the eighth grade precelestial that Xiang Yang had specifically warned Xiang Feng earlier walked over with two gla.s.ses of wine. With a strange smile on his face, he pa.s.sed one to Lu Xingran.
"I …"
Lu Xingran was about to refuse out of habit.
"Drink it. After drinking this cup, I won"t force you." The young man had a strange smile on his face as he looked at Lu Xingran expectantly, hoping that she would drink the red wine in her hand.
"Alright."
Lu Xingran responded and was about to drink it, but the young man"s face immediately revealed a proud smile. Seeing Lu Xingran blushing due to being drunk, he couldn"t help but lick his lips, revealing a look of desire.
"Pah …"
Just when the young man thought that Lu Xingran was about to drink the cup of red wine, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed Lu Xingran"s hand."Who is it?"
Seeing that his goal was achieved and that Lu Xingran, this top quality beauty, was about to be defeated by his extended hand, the youth immediately revealed an angry expression.His gaze turned to the owner of the hand, revealing Xiang Yang"s angry face.
"Who are you? Why did you s.n.a.t.c.h my wine to toast Princ.i.p.al Lu? " The youth glared angrily at Xiang Yang. Her face was livid with anger at this person who had ruined her plans. He wanted nothing more than to kill Xiang Yang.
"Wife, you"re drunk. Stop drinking."
Xiang Yang tossed the red wine in his hand to the side. Ignoring the youth, he hugged Lu Xingran and comforted him."You"re here."
Although Lu Xingran"s eyes were hazy with drunkenness, he still recognized Xiang Yang. Holding Xiang Yang in his arms, he said with a giggle, "I"m drunk …"
"I know you"re drunk. Rest well for a while. You"ll be fine when you wake up tomorrow. I"m here."
Seeing Lu Xingran unconscious from the alcohol, Xiang Yang felt his heart ache. He consoled her with a soft voice before pressing down on her body. Immediately, Lu Xingran fell asleep in his arms.
"Little Ceng, come over." It was only then that the latter found an opportunity to get rid of the student who was pestering her and came to Xiang Yang, "Teacher Xiang, you"ve come too late. Princ.i.p.al Lu has already been drunk, they"ve really gone too far. One by one they"ve come over, not even giving Princ.i.p.al Lu the chance to refuse."As he said this, Little Zheng glowered at the people of the island nation.
"It"s fine, I"ll take revenge for my wife when I"m here. Help me take my wife to rest and take good care of her." As Xiang Yang said this, he handed Lu Xingran over to Little Zeng and beckoned to the waiter standing outside the door.
"Young Master." The two female attendants arrived in front of Xiang Yang with respectful expressions."Young Master?" Little Zheng"s gaze towards Xiang Yang immediately changed. This was the Imperial Palace! Could it be that Xiang Yang was the son of the Imperial Palace"s boss?
Recalling that the Imperial Palace"s boss" name seemed to be Xiang, just like Xiang Yang, Little Ceng was immediately certain that Xiang Yang was the son of the Imperial Palace"s boss.
"Teacher Xiang really hides it too deeply. So it turns out that he"s actually the crown prince of a rich family who"s hidden away among the common folk." Little Zeng sighed in his heart."Take my wife to rest. Tell Xiang Feng to arrange for people to protect her well." Xiang Yang ordered.
"Yes."
The two quickly came over to help support Lu Xin Ran.
Xiang Yang smiled at Little Zheng, "Go on, help me take good care of my wife. Once I"ve taken care of things here, we"ll head over there."
"Yes."
Although Little Zeng was full of doubts, she knew that now was not the time to ask, but to leave with Lu Xin Ran in her arms.
"Ai, what are you all doing? Why did you take Princ.i.p.al Lu away just like that? "
Seeing Little Ceng and the two attendants bringing Lu Xingran away, the people from Evergreen Senior High suddenly became annoyed. Several teachers stood up and muttered.
"My wife is drunk. She went to rest." Xiang Yang said indifferently, his sharp gaze directed at the young man who had been silent all this time.
"Are you a student or a teacher?"
"What"s the difference? Regardless of whether it"s students or teachers, I"m both a member of the Evergreen Senior High"s exchange group. " Although the young man looked stiff in the quiet, he revealed a smile that was different from his usual appearance."Of course there"s a difference. Your ident.i.ty determines the treatment you will be treated with." Xiang Yang smiled coldly, a sinister expression on his face.
"What do you mean?"
"Pah …"
Before the youth from the island could finish speaking, Xiang Yang"s slap had already landed on his face. Although he was a Houtian eighth stage martial pract.i.tioner, he had never expected Xiang Yang to dare to hit him in this situation.
