The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

And then Duan Xi returned to where Jiaojiao was, his expression had returned to normal, not letting her notice anything unusual.

Jiaojiao was asking Yang Tao if she wanted to go to the karaoke for a while, adding at the end, "My big brother Lei is also there. If you don’t want to go, I can stay here and chat with you."

"It’s fine, go ahead." Yang Tao shook her head, with a calm expression, seemingly having let go of things.

Jiaojiao nodded, but she still had some matters to handle, leaving Yang Tao in the private room for about half an hour. After she finished dealing with everything, she took Yang Tao to the karaoke.

In the karaoke, there were dozens of Jiaojiao’s classmates and friends, making it incredibly lively.

When Jiaojiao led Yang Tao in, people inside were coaxing Liang Wenjing and Ruan Feng, Li Que and Duan Xin to drink a cross-cupped wine. Li Que, in a straightforward manner, held onto Duan Xin’s arm, while Liang Wenjing blushed like crazy, and Ruan Feng smiled brightly, willingly wrapping his arm around Liang Wenjing’s to drink the cross-cupped wine.

Just as they finished drinking and hadn’t even put down their wine glasses, someone suddenly shouted, "Oh, look who’s here, it’s our birthday star! Today, the cross-cupped wine should be our main attraction, right? You two are already engaged, it’s totally fitting to drink it. What does everyone say?!"

"Yes, yes, a drink, a drink!"

"A drink, a drink!"

"Cross-cupped wine, cross-cupped wine!"

With the effects of alcohol, everyone started to cheer, shouting for a drink, a drink, cross-cupped wine, cross-cupped wine.

Jiaojiao was blushing from all the calls for cross-cupped wine, and who knows who lightly nudged her, making her bump into Duan Xi’s arms.

Duan Xi, rare to show a pleasant face, looked down at Jiaojiao, who automatically snuggled into his arms, and softly said, "Shall we satisfy them?"

Jiaojiao looked up, rolling her eyes at him playfully.

Lu Zishu was the most enthusiastic in coaxing, already bringing a tray over: "Come, come, here’s the wine, please take it."

"Jiaojiao is still young, let’s replace it with tea." Ruan Jie sat beside them, not stopping everyone from coaxing, just mentioning it when Lu Zishu brought the wine.

Lu Zishu tried to protest, "She’s already eighteen, and we’re all friends here, a little won’t hurt... Haha, yes, yes, yes, Jiaojiao is still young, young, let’s drink tea, drink tea!"

Under the watchful eyes of a dozen pairs, Lu Zishu’s words took a sudden turn.

Quite subserviently, he swapped the wine in Jiaojiao’s hand for tea, and after stepping down, he patted his chest with relief, while Qin Yue couldn’t help but mockingly say, "Look at how little guts you have!"

"If you could do it, you go!" Lu Zishu retorted with irritation.

Nearby, Yuan Xiaodong came over, putting an arm around his shoulder: "Brother Lu, I understand you!" Remembering back in the day when he just joined the same class as Jiaojiao, her brothers came in groups to make an impact, and the scene was still vivid in his memory.

He was always thankful that Brother Xu subdued him early on, otherwise, with just his one sentence about ’White Fatty’, who knows how many beatings he would’ve taken!

Lu Zishu snorted, sneaking a glance over at Xin Miao again, only to find that her gaze had always been fixed on Ruan Jie, which made him feel a bit discouraged.

In fact, when Xin Miao confessed to Ruan Jie today, he was eavesdropping on the other side.
