On the day of graduation, I was dragged by my rich father to get the certificate

“Sorry, I just replied to your message. Lou’s shares were acquired today, and I had to go back to help deal with it, so I didn’t have time to reply to your message.

There is no clear solution yet regarding the acquisition of Lou’s, and it may take some time to deal with it.

Therefore, our planned album release will have to be put on hold for the time being."

Gu Wan's mood instantly plummeted when she saw the message sent by Agent Lou.

She wanted to call Lou Yue immediately to try to get another chance.

But then he thought again, Lou Yue must be busy with the affairs of the Lou Group at this moment, and it would be inappropriate for him to disturb him at this time, so as not to add more troubles to him.

But Gu Wan couldn't figure out why he had been so unlucky in the past month.

She was so upset that she felt like she couldn't breathe staying in the room.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Wan finally called Bai Xiaolu.

As soon as the call was connected, Gu Wan couldn't wait to complain to his friend:

"Xiaolu, how about we go out for a few drinks tonight after you get off work? I'm in a terrible mood right now!"

After a brief silence, Bai Xiaolu's voice came:

"……it is good."

Bai Xiaolu originally wanted to mock Gu Wan. After all, she had witnessed with her own eyes that Gu Wan became drunk and unconscious after drinking only half a bottle of beer.

Unexpectedly, this time she actually dared to take the initiative to ask me, the man who claimed to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, out for a drink.

However, when Bai Xiaolu heard that Gu Wan on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a bad mood, he still agreed.

Gu Wan then added:

"Then let's meet at Mingyue Bar."

Then he quickly hung up the phone.

Mingyue Bar is a bar near Haiyin University Town. When he was in college, Bai Xiaolu would often take Gu Wan here.

Although Gu Wan never drank a drop of alcohol every time she went to Mingyue Bar, she would always stay by Bai Xiaolu's side silently until the very end, fearing that Xiaolu would get drunk and be taken advantage of by others, even though Bai Xiaolu had never been drunk before.

As night falls, the hustle and bustle of the city is gradually swallowed up by the darkness. However, in sharp contrast, the Mingyue Bar is now full of vitality.

Gu Wan and Bai Xiaolu arrived at the door of Mingyue Bar one after another.

After seeing Gu Wan, Bai Xiaolu couldn't wait to rush to her and asked with concern:

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly want to drink when you never drink?"

Gu Wan said calmly:

"I'm just in a bad mood and want to find a place to relax. Let's go in and have a drink and chat."

After saying that, the two of them went into the bar together.

As soon as I opened the door, the smell of alcohol mixed with tobacco hit me in the face.

Under the dim light, people were either sitting or standing, their figures blurry.

Dynamic electronic music is playing in the bar. The strong rhythm shakes the eardrums and makes people sway their bodies to the beat.

Some people were dancing to their heart's content on the dance floor, while others were sitting around the bar, sipping their cocktails and chatting with strangers next to them.

The whole space is filled with a warm and indulgent atmosphere, as if this is a world escaping from reality.

Gu Wan and Bai Xiaolu found a secluded corner and sat down, which made them seem out of place here.

Then Gu Wan took the initiative to order a bottle of wine.

Bai Xiaolu was worried that Gu Wan would get drunk, so while the waiter was getting the wine, he quickly asked:

"Wanwan, tell me quickly, what happened?"

After Gu Wan sighed deeply, he slowly said:

"Ah...it's all because of the album!"

"Is that the album you mentioned to me yesterday when we were shopping together?"

Bai Xiaolu frowned and asked.

Gu Wan nodded, feeling increasingly heavy and depressed.

Seeing his friend like this, Bai Xiaolu quickly comforted him and continued to ask:

"But you clearly told me yesterday that the album recording process went very smoothly. Why did problems arise just one day later? There must be a reason!"

Gu Wan showed a helpless expression, shook his head lightly and sighed:

"Man proposes, God disposes. The shares of my agent Lou, who is in charge of my album, were suddenly acquired today, so he has to go back to help. So my album has to be shelved now."

"This……"

Bai Xiaolu didn’t know how to comfort Gu Wan.

"Maybe I have a hard life. No matter what I do, I always seem to encounter various obstacles and difficulties."

Just then, the waiter brought the drinks.

Gu Wan picked up the wine glass without saying a word, poured a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

However, since she was not good at drinking, she was immediately choked by the strong smell of alcohol and couldn't help coughing twice.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaolu hurriedly spoke up to stop it:

"Wanwan, take it easy! Although this wine doesn't taste stimulating and even has a hint of sweetness, it has a strong aftereffect. You can't drink much to begin with. If you keep drinking like this, I'm afraid you'll be drunk and unconscious before we can even have a good chat!"

As he spoke, Bai Xiaolu quickly reached out and snatched the bottle of wine from Gu Wan's hand.

"Don't worry about me! I came here today just to get drunk. Give me the wine..."

Gu Wan reached out and tried to grab the bottle back.

Bai Xiaolu saw Gu Wan in such pain and sadness, and felt very uncomfortable, so he changed his mind and said:

"Well, if that's the case, I won't try to persuade you any more. I'll let you drink to your heart's content today."

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the bottle and filled the glass in front of Gu Wan with wine.

Gu Wan smiled and said with satisfaction:

"That's right, you are worthy of being my bestie! Come on, let's raise a toast together and not leave until we are drunk!"

Then, Gu Wan picked up the wine glass without hesitation and drank it all.

Bai Xiaolu silently accompanied her and drank a glass.

As expected, after two glasses of wine, Gu Wan's eyes started to become blurry and his body began to shake involuntarily, as if he might fall to the ground at any time.

She tried hard to stay sober, but the alcohol surged to her head like a tide, making her lose control of her body. In the end, she was too drunk to stand up, or even sit still.

In fact, Bai Xiaolu had already expected this situation to happen.

She knew very well that Gu Wan's alcohol tolerance was not good, so when she saw Gu Wan drinking non-stop, she quietly replaced the wine in the bottle with tea and carefully poured her a glass.

However, Gu Wan, who was already drunk at this time, could not tell the difference between wine and tea.

Gu Wan said nothing, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp just like before.

Then, he felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, and his speech became unclear:

"Eh? Xiaolu, do you think this wine tastes a bit strange?"

Hearing this, Bai Xiaolu laughed inwardly, but pretended to be nonchalant and replied:

"Uh...really? Let me try it."

As she spoke, she deliberately drank a sip of the liquid in the cup in front of Gu Wan, and then continued:

"Yes, it's the same taste as before. Have you drunk too much?"

"No, I'm not drunk. I can still drink. Pour me another glass and I'll try it."

Gu Wan shook his head and handed the empty cup in his hand to Bai Xiaolu.

Looking at the person in front of him who was already completely drunk, Bai Xiaolu curled his lips helplessly, took the cup and poured another glass of "wine" for Gu Wan.

Gu Wan raised the glass without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.

Bai Xiaolu quickly asked before she could speak:

"How is it? Has the taste changed this time?"

Gu Wan frowned, pursed her lips tightly, and smacked her lips, as if she was carefully savoring the taste in her mouth.

After a while, she suddenly laughed foolishly:

"Hey, it hasn't changed. It still tastes the same."
