"Just friends."
Zheng Jin corrected.
Xu Nianhua smiled and nodded, responding, "Right, just friends."
Zheng Jin happily linked arms with Xu Nianhua, saying, "Then from now on, we can't lose touch with each other."
"Sure."
Xu Nianhua smiled and agreed, as a classmate nearby came up to her with soda pop to chat, and their whispering conversation thus came to an end.
At first, the girls all drank soda, but as time went on, more and more began to try beer. Once a few started, the number of beer drinkers steadily increased.
"This isn't bad, why not give it a try?" Zheng Jin had also tried a beer, and in the scorching summer heat, it must have been chilled in well water— the ice-cold beer was especially refreshing.
Xu Nianhua glanced at it and laughed while declining, "No need."
She couldn't handle her liquor; one drink and she'd be done for.
There were still so many classmates around; it was better not to make a fool of herself.
"Then I'll drink."
