Noon.
Lunch was ready and the few of them were already drinking.
"Yingyi's cooking is pretty good!"
"It's just so-so, let's all have a taste."
"Come, I suggest that we have a toast first."
"Right, it's rare for us to get together as classmates, so we have to finish the first toast. There can't be any leftovers!"
"You guys can drink white. We ladies will drink red."
"Alright then, cheers."
"Cheers."
"Let's get together more often in the future. I've missed you guys so much!"
Every year, she would be nominated for the school's New Year's Gala. Wang He and Dong Shanshan were the cream of the crop and were always in first or second place in their grades. Before they were even in their fourth year, they were already internally selected by the television station. That fellow, Zhang Ye, was even more of a legendary figure in the school. Although he usually kept a low profile and did not interact much with others, he was someone who dared to challenge the teachers at critical moments. He was constantly criticized by the school, but in the end, he still managed to graduate after much difficulty. For Zhang Ye to successfully get his graduation certificate is already a miracle in my opinion. "
Zhang Ye did not like hearing that and said, "Am I as dumb as you make me out to be?"
"You're even worse than that," Ma Xufei said with a laugh.
He Kui said in amusement, "I would never have expected that after graduating, Zhang Ye would be the one who did the best. I thought that it would be difficult for that fellow to even find a job."
Zhang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It was quite difficult back then."
Ma Xufei said, "But you've also made a name for yourself."
Wang He said, "Among our batch of students, Zhang Ye should be the one who went the furthest, right?"
Yu Yingyi said, "Not to mention our batch, even if we include the three batches of graduates from Media College, Zhang Ye is still the first. Didn't you see that he has already returned to his alma mater to be an associate professor?"
Zhang Ye shook his head. "I only started out a little earlier than others. It's going to be very difficult for me to move up in the future. If there aren't any major changes, I'll probably reach the top of the B-list celebrity rankings before that. My looks can't compare to you guys, so I'm too limited."
He Kui said, "The top of the B-list is already high enough."
Dong Shanshan asked, "I've only had more contact with Zhang Ye in the past two years. What are you all doing now?"
Yu Yingyi suddenly laughed and blinked a few times. She glanced at Zhang Ye and said, "I guess I'll be working with Zhang Ye in a few days."
"Ah?" Zhang Ye was stunned.
Dong Shanshan said with a smile, "You're going to Central TV?"
Everyone looked at Yu Yingyi.
Yu Yingyi smiled and said, "Yes, I used to work at a video-sharing website as a sports host. I mainly focused on basketball, the NBA, and the CBA. I've also participated in the commentary for soccer a few times, so I can be considered to be quite famous in the industry. I feel that I've accumulated enough experience, so I tried contacting Central TV Sports. I had an interview last month and it went quite smoothly. When my contract with the website expires next week, I'll be able to report to Central TV. In the future, you guys should pay more attention to Central TV Department 5. Who knows, I might even be able to commentate there."
Zhang Ye said, "That's great."
Ma Xufei also hurriedly congratulated him. "That's a good thing!"
"Central TV Sports is a good place," Wang He said with a smile.
But there are also a lot of disadvantages. Women are naturally limited when it comes to competitive sports, and I'm not a professional athlete, so I have to put in more effort and energy to understand the professional aspects of it. You all don't know how many matches I have to watch every day. Every player's name, the coach's name, and the rules, I can't get any of them wrong. If I say a single wrong word, there will be people scolding me on the Internet the next day, saying, 'Look, a female commentator just can't do it. You don't understand sports at all.' That's why I'm under a lot of pressure. It's just like what Zhang Ye said just now, it's going to be quite difficult for me to take another step forward. "
Wang He looked at her. "Why did you choose this industry?"
"Because I like it." Yu Yingyi threw up her hands.
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Yingyi loved watching football back in college. She would drink beer with a bunch of guys every day and stay up late to watch the games. I wouldn't be surprised if she decided to become a sports commentator after graduation."
Yu Yingyi said happily, "I also want to be a host like you guys, but there's too much competition over there. Besides, I'm not as pretty as Shanshan, so I better forget about it." Saying that, she raised her glass to Zhang Ye and said, "Come, let me give a toast to Zhang'er alone. In the future, we'll be in the same unit, so let's keep in touch more often."
"Sure." Zhang Ye clinked his glass with hers and downed it in one gulp.
Dong Shanshan said sarcastically, "Yingyi, I suggest that you don't get in touch with him at work. There's almost no one at Central TV that Zhang Ye has not offended. Be careful that you don't get implicated."
Yu Yingyi also teased, "Alright then, I'll pretend that I don't know him."
Zhang Ye was speechless.
Everyone laughed heartily!
This meal lasted all the way until 4 PM in the afternoon. They even had dinner together. In the end, there was not enough food, so Yu Yingyi and Dong Shanshan went to prepare another three or four dishes before the meal was finally over.
Wang He had a little too much to drink. He slurred, "Let's drink a little more! We're not going home until we're drunk!"
"Right, if you can't, you can stay at my place." Dong Shanshan had also drunk quite a bit of red wine, so her face was very rosy. "We have a lot of rooms at home anyway, so feel free to stay. You guys can drive here, so there's no need to get a designated driver."
Yu Yingyi suggested, "Why don't we go karaoke?"
Zhang Ye did not object. "I'm fine with anything."
Dong Shanshan snapped her fingers. "We can sing at my place. Karaoke is available on the television!"
He Kui and Ma Xufei also shouted, "Let's sing!"
Zhang Ye volunteered, "Let me sing a song first!"
He sang as he drank. This time, he was drinking beer again!
...
At 9 PM.
Everyone in the villa was already swaying from side to side.
Wang He was already drunk and had gone to the bathroom to vomit. He Kui was a little better. He supported Wang He on his feet and patted his back. But when he saw that Wang He was vomiting so disgustingly, He Kui could not hold it in any longer. He pushed Wang He aside with his butt and started vomiting as well.
Ma Xufei was still holding the microphone and singing. Rather than saying that he was singing, it was more like he was howling.
Zhang Ye could not stand still. "I'm tired of singing, I'm tired of singing."
Dong Shanshan said loudly, reeking of alcohol, "We'll all be staying here tonight!"
"Alright, I won't be able to leave even if you ask me to." Yu Yingyi was surrounded by beer bottles. She had drunk more than her male compatriots and was getting a little taller.
Dong Shanshan assigned the rooms and said, "Let's all stay upstairs. Where's He Kui and Wang … He?"
Yu Yingyi said, "They're vomiting in the bathroom."
"Let the two of them stay in the same room." Dong Shanshan said, "Zhang Ye and Ma Xufei will share a … room. Yingyi, we'll sleep together. My bed is bigger, so we can sleep in it even if we lie horizontally."
Ma Xufei said, "Sing a little more!"
Yu Yingyi grabbed the microphone. "Alright, I'll sing with you."
Zhang Ye couldn't take it anymore and kept drinking. He grabbed Dong Shanshan and said, "I can't take it anymore, I've drunk too much. I have to sleep now. Is there a place where I can shower? Let me take a shower first. "
"It's upstairs." Dong Shanshan said with a lisp, "There's a bathroom in the bathroom upstairs, but downstairs … there isn't one."
"Alright, you guys carry on playing." Zhang Ye staggered up the stairs.
Dong Shanshan said from behind, "Go to bed early after you're done showering. There's still a rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala on Beijing Television tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I got it."
Upstairs.
In the bathroom.
Zhang Ye had just taken off his clothes when Yao Jiancai called.
"Rehearsal tomorrow?" Yao Jiancai said, "Why don't we go through our lines?"
Zhang Ye said, "Ah? Right now? "
Yao Jiancai said, "But you can't just do it at the last minute, right?"
Zhang Ye said, "I haven't even prepared what to say yet. I drank a little too much."
"It just so happens that you get inspired when you drink too much." Yao Jiancai laughed and said, "No matter what, we have to come up with a framework for tomorrow's work. Otherwise, if we don't prepare anything during the rehearsal, wouldn't that make us look too unprofessional?"
Zhang Ye said helplessly, "Alright then, let me think about it."
After chatting for more than ten minutes, they actually did not manage to come up with anything. Zhang Ye was feeling very dizzy and sometimes did not even know what he was saying. After hanging up, Zhang Ye went into the bathtub and soaked himself in it. He applied some body wash and closed his eyes, feeling extremely comfortable.
Outside, Ma Xufei's singing had long since disappeared.
Zhang Ye also stood up unsteadily from the bathtub. After drying his hair and body, he put on a pair of underwear and went out. But when he opened the door, it was pitch black. He vaguely remembered that the lights were switched on when he first entered the room, so he did not think too much about it. He could no longer keep his eyelids open. The faint moonlight that shone through the window made him feel dizzy. He slowly moved his feet and finally came to the side of the bed. He lifted the blanket and crawled into it.
The bed was very soft.
The blanket was also quite warm!
Did it come with an electric mattress function?
The moment Zhang Ye's head hit the pillow, he nearly fell asleep. After a while, he felt that the blanket was a little crowded for some reason. It was as if there was something on both sides. He smacked his lips and flipped over. He hugged his left side and a fragrant scent wafted into his nose. It was as if there was someone there.
A shoulder shrugged, "Stop fooling around."
When Zhang Ye heard that, he impatiently flipped over to the other side. He crossed his legs and found a position that he found most comfortable to lie down in. Another faint fragrance wafted over. It was different from the smell on the left side. This fragrance was mixed with a stronger alcohol smell.
In the end, there was also a sound coming from this side.
"Don't push me. I can't drink anymore... I said I can't drink anymore... Alright, find... someone else to drink!" The voice kept muttering and did not stop for a long time.
Finally, Zhang Ye was annoyed by the buzzing in his ears. He flipped over angrily and slept on his left side.
