Chapter 138: Who's the Coward
After Huang Hu came over, Su Ruochu nervously looked towards Chen Fan.
Because she knew about the grudge between Chen Fan and Huang Hu. She was worried that Chen Fan might act impulsively here.
Fortunately, Chen Fan only sat in his original spot, with a smile on his face and didn't say anything.
"Sorry, I don't drink alcohol."
Su Ruochu wanted to politely decline.
However, Huang Hu didn't plan to let her off the hook.
"It's okay, let's just have some red wine."
"You see, many girls are drinking red wine. If you drink too much, it's not a big deal, I can send you home later."
Chen Fan remained expressionless, thinking that it's only because breathalyzer tests weren't very strict in this era, otherwise your driver's license would have been revoked long ago.
Su Ruochu remained unmoved.
"I'm sorry, I really can't drink alcohol."
Huang Hu smiled.
"Didn't expect our class committee member to lie."
"I remember when it was close to the college entrance exam, you four often went to the small restaurant outside the school for lunch together, right?"
"You guys would secretly drink beer at that time, I saw it with my own eyes."
"So why don't you drink when I'm offering a toast to you now?"
"Is the class committee member deliberately not giving me face?"
His words caused a burst of laughter in the hall.
Many people in the class knew that Chen Fan and his three friends often had meals together at that time.
Huang Hu leaned closer and smiled, "Ruochu, why don't you just take a sip? Consider it giving me some face, everyone is watching."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to get off the stage today."
He said this without holding back, and many classmates around him heard it, followed by another burst of laughter.
Su Ruochu was suddenly in a difficult position. After hesitating for a moment, she was about to reach for the wine glass.
A hand stretched out and grabbed her wrist.
Su Ruochu was startled and turned to look at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan still had a faint smile on his face.
"Sorry. She doesn't drink alcohol. You should find someone else."
After saying that, he turned to look at Su Ruochu.
"Don't force yourself to do something you don't like."
Su Ruochu obediently nodded and pulled her hand back.
This scene caused the venue to fall silent.
Many classmates looked over in surprise.
They were wondering what was going on with Chen Fan today?
Why was he deliberately going against the class monitor?
And what was the relationship between Chen Fan and Su Ruochu?
Why were they so intimate?
The smile on Huang Hu's face froze, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
Finally, he turned his head, as if he had just noticed Chen Fan.
"Chen Fan, minding other people's business?"
"I don't recall talking to you just now."
Chen Fan smiled.
"I wasn't talking to you either."
"I was talking to my girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, gasps of surprise erupted from the venue.
All the classmates stared in disbelief at Chen Fan and Su Ruochu.
"What does that mean?"
"Chen Fan and Su Ruochu are together?"
"How is that possible? Su Ruochu is the class beauty, and Chen Fan has always been a nobody in our class, how could they be together?"
"Chen Fan got into a prestigious university, and it seems like he's even at the same school as Su Ruochu."
"Damn. How could the class beauty be with him..."
Huang Hu's expression froze, and his gaze turned towards Su Ruochu.
Before Huang Hu could speak, Su Ruochu nodded in confirmation.
"Yes. Chen Fan is my boyfriend."
Upon hearing the class beauty admit it herself, another commotion erupted at the venue.
Many male students looked at Chen Fan with envious, jealous, and hateful eyes.
Back in school, it wasn't that no one had pursued Su Ruochu.
It was just that at the time, Su Ruochu had no interest in romance, and she never paid attention to anyone who confessed their feelings or wrote her love letters.
Yet who would have thought that in the end, it was the nobody in the class, Chen Fan, who won the beauty's heart.
How could they not be jealous?
Huang Hu looked at Chen Fan with a gaze that could almost kill.
Initially, he was the one who liked Su Ruochu the most.
In his eyes, Su Ruochu and himself were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
It was Chen Fan who snatched Su Ruochu away from him.
Moreover, they had a conflict back then.
Originally, he thought that after going to university, the two would never end up together.
Today, Huang Hu organized this reunion with the intention of trying again to win over Su Ruochu.
But who would have thought it would be a bolt from the blue, leaving him thunderstruck.
These two had actually gotten together.
With great difficulty, Huang Hu controlled his expression and laughed.
"I see."
"Didn't expect you two to become a couple. It's truly...unexpected."
"But you did a good job keeping it a secret, managing to hide it from all our classmates."
"Everyone, don't you think they should be punished with drinks?"
As soon as Huang Hu made this suggestion, the classmates present began to echo the sentiment.
"That's right, punish them with drinks. They must be punished with drinks."
Huang Hu smiled at Chen Fan.
"You see, this is everyone's opinion. Chen Fan, you wouldn't want to ruin everyone's excitement, would you?"
If it were up to Chen Fan's temperament, he wouldn't care about other people's opinions and would simply get up and leave.
However, since Ruochu was by his side today, he didn't want to put her in a difficult position.
So Chen Fan stood up.
"Today, in front of our old classmates, I would like to announce that Ruochu and I are dating. Thank you all for your blessings."
"This cup, I'll drink it."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the entire cup of baijiu in one gulp.
"Bravo!"
Someone in the venue applauded.
However, Huang Hu didn't plan to let Chen Fan off the hook.
"It's not over yet."
"Drinking just one cup is not enough."
"You've snatched away the goddess in the hearts of all the boys in our class. Who knows how many boys are crying in their hearts right now."
"In my opinion, you should punish yourself with at least three cups. Everyone, am I right?"
"Yes."
"That's right."
Some boys joined in the jeering.
Su Ruochu suddenly became nervous.
Bang.
Guo Shuai slammed the table and stood up.
"Huang Hu, are you deliberately picking a fight?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do."
"Isn't it because you also liked Su Ruochu, but she chose Chen Fan instead, and now you're feeling resentful and want to take this opportunity for revenge?"
"If you want revenge, let's do it openly, don't do these disgusting petty tricks."
Guo Shuai's intervention directly brought the conflict to the surface.
The atmosphere at the venue immediately became awkward.
Huang Hu was furious inside, but he had to maintain a smile on his face.
"Guo Shuai, have you had too much to drink? I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I'm just trying to congratulate the two of them, what does it have to do with you? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
"You..."
As Guo Shuai was about to stand up, Chen Fan reached out and pressed his shoulder, forcing him back down.
Chen Fan grabbed a bottle of baijiu from the side.
With a thud, he placed it on the table in front of him and looked up at Huang Hu.
He grinned.
"Actually, my brother is quite right."
"I know what you're trying to do. You know what you're trying to do. Everyone knows what you're trying to do."
"But we're all decent people. In front of so many classmates, I don't want to make things worse and ruin everyone's excitement."
"So let's settle this like men."
"Weren't you just trying to get me drunk so I would embarrass myself in front of everyone?"
"I'll give you a chance."
Chen Fan looked at the bottle of alcohol in front of him.
"Let's go one-on-one. Whoever chickens out first has to get out of here."
"How about it? Are you brave enough?"
