Goddess Cultivation Plan - Chapter 56 – Drunk
www.scribblehub.com
Lin Jin stood on the balcony with a helpless expression, playing with her phone against the railing, occasionally glancing at the two men who were boisterously drinking and chatting on the dormitory floor.
So, how long were they planning to drink?
The food for the drinks had been delivered, and Wu Min and Xiao Ling were like long-lost brothers. At first, they were criticizing the discriminatory practices of Chen Shiqi's mother towards out-of-towners, but the conversation somehow shifted to discussing where one could find hostess bars near the school.
What happened to being heartbroken from a forced breakup and wanting to cry? How did the topic shift to hostess bars so quickly?
Lin Jin's mouth twitched, utterly confused by Wu Min's train of thought. Moreover, according to Xiao Ling, he, who had just turned eighteen in his first year of university, had already visited a place like that once with his classmates after graduating from high school... and now he was sharing his experiences with Wu Min.
Damn, Xiao Ling's mindset isn't normal either, right?
With a light sigh, Lin Jin wasn't sure if Wu Min and Xiao Ling could consider their task accomplished if they kept drinking like this. But even if they couldn't, there was no reason for Wu Min to get angry and lash out at her now, right? He's almost drunk enough to lay down, let alone get angry. He probably won't even be able to stand, and he'll likely end up lying on the floor using ash as his bedding.
Suddenly, Lin Xin walked out of his dormitory. After he went to the bathroom, he casually glanced at Lin Jin's dormitory and was startled for a few seconds.
"What's gotten into them?" he asked.
"Who knows? One of them got dumped, the other said he'd offer comfort, and then they started drinking" Lin Jin replied helplessly, looking at Lin Xin. "I don't even dare to go back in there now. The smell of smoke and alcohol is so nauseating."
"But don't you also smoke?" Lin Xin seemed to have nothing better to do, so he just stood beside Lin Jin, leaning against the railing in the same manner. "Why not go to my dorm and play on the computer? You can use Xiao Ling's."
"No, thanks. I'm afraid his computer is full of all sorts of porn."
Lin Jin's statement was not unfounded. During a moment of curiosity, when she was messing around with Cao Jianlai's computer, she found quite a few ***, and they were of the extremely heavy taste. If she dug a little deeper at that time, such as tweaking the hidden display settings of the folders, who knows, she might have found tens of gigabytes of torrent files on the computer's hard drive.
"Who let you go through other people's computers?" Lin Xin chided. "Invading other people's privacy is a breach of rights. You know you can be sued if there's evidence, right?"
"Curiosity is part of human nature!" Lin Jin said, puffing out her chest in righteous indignation. "And I wasn't snooping, I usually look openly in front of them!"
The conversation shifted haphazardly, and Lin Xin brought up Dota, a game Lin Jin hadn't played in a long time. Immediately, Lin Jin had something to talk about and excitedly began chatting with Lin Xin about various Dota strategies, intending to try out tactics usually only seen in highlight reels.
As Lin Jin was daydreaming about executing a perfect 1v5 slaughter in their upcoming game using their strategy, Lin Xin suddenly said,
"They're both lying down now..."
He pulled a wry smile, glancing at the dorm room that was almost entirely covered with bottles. "They sure can drink."
Without any shame, Lin Jin boasted, "Actually, I can drink quite a bit too, you know? When I graduated from high school, I drank my entire class under the table by myself. It's just that I don't like drinking, so I don't drink often."
After his bragging, he didn't mind Lin Xin's doubtful gaze. Things that needed to be done still had to be done. Lin Jin walked into the dorm room and began to gather the bottles into a box, planning to take them out when there were fewer people around on the campus streets at night to exchange them for some money with the shop owner.
Lin Xin was quite considerate and brought in a dustpan and broom to clean up. However, as someone who never smoked, he could not adapt to the heavy smell of smoke and alcohol in the dormitory. The smell was so nauseating that he began to retch.
"What will you do when you have to dine with your boss in the future? If the boss toasts you or offers you a cigarette and you give no face at all, then what?" Lin Jin showed no sympathy for him.
After tidying up the bottles and placing the box in the corner, she casually sat on Wu Min's desk, legs crossed, watching Lin Xin bending over to sweep the floor. She kept pointing, "There! There's a cigarette butt in the corner! And here, there's cigarette ash all under my feet."
"What the hell! I'm helping you sweep the floor and you're full of complaints?" Lin Xin, discontented, threw the broom away and gave up. "I'm going to play games. You deal with these two lumps."
"Eh, don't go!"
Lin Jin was completely at a loss as to how to get these two heavy bodies onto the bed by himself. But on second thought, it seemed impossible even for two people. After a moment of hesitation, she didn't try to keep Lin Xin from leaving the dorm room. Frowning, she picked up the broom that had been thrown aside and started to tidy up the messy room with a sense of despair.
"So, the task should be considered completed, right?" While sweeping the floor, Lin Jin took out her phone and took a glance, but found that there was still no task completion notice. "Doesn't this count as successful consolation? Wu Min seemed quite happy just now."
As Lin Jin was talking to himself, she suddenly saw that Wu Min, who was sleeping on his side on the floor, was silently crying in his sleep.
"Hey, come on." Lin Jin irritably ruffled his already long hair. "After drinking so much, he can still cry. Shouldn't he have just passed out with no dreams?"
In Lin Jin's experience, she would just close her eyes and stretch out her legs after drinking two or three bottles, then sleep dreamlessly until the next day, and also wake up with a headache.
After tidying up the dorm a bit, Lin Jin was helpless with the two lumps of meat lying on the floor. They were really sleeping on a "cigarette ash bed", and this bed was padded with quite a few cigarette butts. It's not that she didn't want to move them and sweep, but these two wouldn't budge once they were dead asleep. Lin Jin's strength was just about sufficient normally, and now after becoming a woman, she was even weaker.
Wu Min weighed at least 75 kg, and Xiao Ling looked quite thin. However, after trying, Lin Jin could only helplessly declare that she was giving up. This guy must also weigh about 70 kg. She couldn't move them at all. Moreover, if she used too much force and woke them up, who knew whether these two might suddenly go mad from the alcohol.
"Hey, Lin Jin." Lin Xin suddenly appeared outside the dorm again, bringing his two roommates who were standing on the balcony looking in. "I called them to help. The four of us should be able to get them onto the bed."
"That's fine." Lin Jin had originally planned to give up on the two of them. After all, they had brought it on themselves. If they insisted on drinking and sleeping on the floor in the middle of winter and caught a cold, she couldn't be blamed.
"First, let's strip off their clothes before throwing them onto the bed."
Cai Jianlai came straight in and efficiently stripped Wu Min's clothes clean, then turned to call out to Pan Zhe, the chubby guy who was still watching from the balcony, to help.
The two of them, one tall and strong and the other big and powerful, didn't find it too hard to move Wu Min. The tricky part was getting him onto the bed. However, with the help of Lin Jin and Lin Xin, after a lot of effort, they finally managed to get Wu Min back onto the bed.
So, what exactly do I need to do to complete my temporary task?
