drinking party

"Freak! Help!" It was not known when Mu Bai sneaked behind their backs and started eavesdropping.

"You guys shouldn't talk about another person behind their back. Tsk. Tsk. You're already this old and still don't have manners, be thankful it's just a pitiful old me who heard you. Anyways, I'll forgive you this time if you attend my drinking party later. I'll text the place."

Xie Mingze couldn't help but curse under his breath, just his luck they got caught in something troublesome.

"I don't want to go." Zheyan complained with a frown on his face.

Of course just because he complained doesn't mean they could just not go, if things were that Easy nobody would join Mu Bai for a drink.

"We have no choice but to go. Let's just leave early."

It was honestly annoying to accompany this senior to drink, but they just needed to sneak out. It's the only way.

"Damn rat annoying as hell. I wish Senior Hao Muyang is still here to stop him from doing that nasty shits."

"Senior Hao is already married and graduated, he can't always be here to stop him. If things took a turn for the worst we should stop him from harassing the first years and second years."

They don't want the lower year to feel what they felt back then. Seniority was pretty important in their culture so it was hard to speak up about his wrong doings even though it was below the belt. Only Hao Muyang stood up for them that time. Now it's their role to stop Mu Bai.

He is literally a traumatic experience in this school.

"So are we like the power puffgirls? I'm blossom, you're bubbles, Yichen is buttercup and Mu Bai could be mojojojo. Then of course our kind senior is professor."

Mingze rolled his eyes at Zheyan's statement. It's too much to compare it to a kid's show.

"Zheyan, you're late for your part time job."

"Oh yeah that's right!" As soon as it sink in he ran as fast as he could while checking the time on his watch.

Then two minutes later he came back to where he came from with an annoyed expression on his face.

"What the fuck bro, I don't have a part time job!"

Mingze laughed at his easily tricked friend before patting him on the shoulder.

"Don't go around and be tricked off your pocket money, I can't get it back for you."

Today was the day where Fen Yichen returned to the business department to take care of his lessons. If he could choose, he would always stay at the music department.

"Good morning Fen Yichen! I brought you lunch." Another person approached him but he politely nod his head before passing her by.

It was not his hobby to entertain people making passes at him when he doesn't plan to date them.

"Uwaaa cold!" Kim Sinian said.

Kim Sinian was the only companion he have here since he was busy hanging out with Mingze all of the time.

"You're always smiling over at the other department while cold all day long here. Are you a music dept spy?"

"There's no reason to smile here. Everything is strictly business."

Kim Sinian, as a fellow heir, couldn't understand Yichen's actions, he kept taking a useless course. He isn't even interested in music.

If it were him he would force him to just stop.

"By the way we have a gathering today to welcome the freshmen in our dept. As a senior you can't and shouldn't miss it."

"Where is it going to take place?"

"We decided to hold it in a karaoke place. Also can you take a few of them in your car- what's this money for?"

Fen Yichen placed a bill on Kim Sinian's hands while he was busy blubbering about the details of the welcoming party.

"Go and pay someone to talk to, also I can't take them with me I'm busy."

"You can't be busy, all dept are basically doing a welcoming party so Mingze won't be able to go with you."

He stopped on his tracks as soon as he heard him mention Mingze's name. Just on cue, as soon as he mentioned the party Mingze messaged him.

Mingze: I can't go home with you, we are going to a dept's welcoming party.

"Okay I'm going, but I can't give them a ride in my car. I'll leave that to you."

The music department's party was held in a barbecue place, they reserved a place in advance to accomodate all of the people joining in.

College was full of drinking and parties like this and since this bbq place is near their school this is their usual spot.

"Two more cases of beer here!"

The place was a bit chaotic with a lot of people.

"Ohhh you made it here!" Hanya popped up from somewhere before dragging both Zheyan and Mingze inside to join in the fun.

"This is the first time I see you again join in Mingze, the last time I saw you was waaaay before."

Mingze recalled why he stopped going to this drinking parties and shook his head to snap out of it.
