Trajectory 2: entangled curves

When Zhuge Qinuo entered, the three teachers who were the main targets seemed to have found a savior. They hurried over, brought her to her seat, and began to frequently "divert the blame".

Zhuge Qinuo was fined a lot of wine for various reasons, such as not attending dinner and being late for KTV. She did not resist or refuse, but drank it wholeheartedly. Soon, everyone used up all the reasons to fine her wine.

"I'm in charge of the finances of this event. If I keep drinking like this, I'll be drunk in no time, and no one will pay." Zhuge Qinuo was drinking red wine, and he drank it happily because he was in a depressed mood.

How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang. After a few drinks, worries are relieved. But she still has to pay attention to her image. Drinking more would be like drowning sorrows in alcohol, which is totally unnecessary.

"Don't worry about paying. Today, everyone is not going home until they are drunk. Where is Han Cheng's father?"

"The wedding is going on, so I'll be here later. I've already punished everyone, so stop staring at me. I booked the room, so I'll go out and say hello and ask them to send some more food and drinks. I'll get everything arranged first, then I'll come and get drunk with everyone. We agreed that you can't go home before 2 o'clock."

After saying that, Zhuge Qinuo used his universal excuse, blocked all attacks with "Let's have a drink together", and ran out to arrange things.

Without this target of attack, everyone coaxed the teachers to sing and drink. In order to drink less, the teachers knew that singing in a KTV was a better choice to liven up the atmosphere, so they took the lead in ordering songs and singing.

After Zhuge Qinuo came back, everyone sang, drank, and played dice. It was very lively. She did nothing but wait for the waiter to bring in the food, carefully arranged the drinks and food, and served them attentively.

It has been a long time since we had such a game. Zhuge Qinuo thought she would be very happy and relaxed. Because she was in a bad mood, she even thought about indulging herself. But when she was in it, she clearly felt that she had no interest in playing these games.

Obviously, she didn't want to play. She thought, maybe, this is growing up, mature; or maybe, she just needs people, needs excitement, so that she doesn't have to think about other things.

After arranging everything, she randomly found a seat at the edge and sat quietly next to a parent. She sipped her wine slowly, chatted with her, and watched everyone happy.

It feels good to be a bystander.

At about 11 o'clock, Shen Chengkun's wife got up and wanted to leave, saying that her child was looking for her. Her circle refused to let her go, and finally, some agreement was reached and everyone let her go.

Zhuge Qinuo then realized that she was immersed in her own world and didn't even notice that Shen Chengkun was not there either.

About 20 minutes later, Shen Chengkun arrived. He pushed the door open, smiled and greeted everyone. I don't know if it was an illusion, but he stayed on Zhuge for an extra 0.01 second.

He was surrounded and sat down. As he sat down, he made eye contact with Zhuge Qinuo and nodded in greeting. Zhuge Qinuo also nodded and smiled in response.

In the midst of all the chaos, he is the cleanest and most sober one.

"Wow, the shift replacement is here, hurry up, give us the drinks we needed." Maybe it was because the newcomers were being "bullied" or because the handsome guy was more attractive, but their group gradually became the most lively one.

The battle circle is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are joining their game.

"Why don't you go?" a parent suddenly asked.

"I still have so many things to do." Zhuge Qinuo interjected.

"What else can we do? If we don't want to drink, let's sing," she suggested.

"Okay!" Zhuge Qinuo agreed.

Someone asked her to sing before, but she didn’t want to. She just wanted to hide herself and watch everyone have fun. She didn’t want to attract anyone’s attention and just wanted to stay quiet.

However, she didn't know why, now, she wanted to make herself feel a little bit present, but only a little bit. She ordered a quieter song, after all, she hadn't started singing yet.

"my soul my heart, where you near where you are far, you can have it all.E mm~~"

"The Chairman sings very well." Shen Chengkun's words turned everyone's attention to Zhuge Qinuo.

This was probably the first time in four years that he evaluated her in front of so many people.

What I fear most is the sudden silence in the air. Because of his comment, the noisy circle lowered their voices and started listening to the song seriously.

"Singer! You sing well, but you didn't sing before."

"Chairman, you've been hiding it for so long. I didn't know you could sing so well for so many years."

"It turns out that our chairman can sing and dance."

……

I don't know what kind of mood I was in when I sang this song, but it was praised by so many people.

Before, she and another parent had nothing to do and ordered a lot of songs while watching everyone having fun. Now everyone asked her to sing another song, should she sing or not?

She knew very well that at this time, a group of people were drunk and wanted to show themselves. When people say hello to you, can you really be "arrogant"? Impossible, so Zhuge Qinuo would not really sing another song as they said, anyway, there are only so many songs, and everyone can sing. She thought of a way and handed the microphone over.

It turns out that she was right. There are indeed many people waiting to perform.

Everyone came one after another, actively and enthusiastically, and there was another wave of singing enthusiasm. While singing, they also had fun and started to compete with each other in the male and female camps.

"Cantonese songs, come on!"

The microphone returned to her hand in the chaos.

"Parting with Kindness" was the song she requested and the one she really wanted to sing. Under everyone's gaze, she did not refuse.

"Hey, duet. Which gentleman over there would like to sing duet?" someone started to make a noise.

Shen Chengkun, holding the microphone, stood up slowly.

Zhuge Qinuo's heart trembled.

He was indeed someone she wanted to have an encounter with, but she was hesitant and restrained. Unexpectedly, God gave her a boost.

It was what God gave, so she had to accept it. Encouraged by the ladies' camp, she also stood up and cleared her throat.

"Please give me your guidance." Shen Chengkun said.

"Don't dare."

“You’re so polite!”

"The handsome man and beautiful woman will start their performance now."

When the song started, Zhuge Qinuo didn't dare to look at each other as they should have done during the duet. Occasionally, she would unconsciously see Shen Chengkun's figure leaning towards her, and she would feel a stir in her heart.

Tonight, she had already indulged herself in her heart. She didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, and she didn't want to turn herself into Han Moli.

So she tried hard to control her body and didn't even look at Shen Chengkun.

Shen Chengkun's singing voice couldn't compare to Zhuge Qinuo's. Whether in pronunciation, pitch, or rhythm, there was a big gap. But at the end of the song, there was still applause.

"The one who sings best gets to drink." Someone took a sip, and before he could refuse, someone stuffed the wine into Zhuge Qinuo's hand. The same situation happened on Shen Chengkun's side.

"I did sing, but Han Xin's mom sang the best, didn't she? I can sponsor it, but Han Xin's mom has to drink it all." Over the years, except for the speeches at the class parents' committee, this was the longest sentence Zhuge Qinuo had ever heard Shen Chengkun speak to anyone else.

"I'm not very good at drinking. I drank a lot just now and I'm going to be drunk." Zhuge declined reflexively.

"Don't you want to be drunk before you go home?"

"Yeah, you're not drunk yet, are you? How about you two have a go? Come on, let's go," someone suggested.

Zhuge Qinuo then looked at Shen Chengkun. They stared at each other for a few seconds, as if questioning each other. Shen Chengkun smiled, raised his glass and drank it in one gulp. Zhuge Qinuo smiled helplessly, and drank it without saying anything.

"Why not sing another song?" someone else suggested.

"No, singers have to drink, and I can't afford it." Zhuge Qinuo declined half-jokingly.

Everyone in the circle laughed.
