Song Xuanhe's gaze fell on Xiao Ranyun, who was calmly standing a short distance away. He then shifted his eyes to Boss Sun, who was cutting a sorry figure in his crumpled clothes. In the end, his eyes fell on the cocktail in Xiao Ranyun's hand, in which the contents had already mixed together.

His gaze stayed on the cocktail for a few seconds as a complicated emotion flitted through his eyes. Although he had managed to force back the emotion, his expression was still as cold as ice. However, there was still a trace of warmth in his voice as he spoke to Xiao Ranyun. "What happened?"

Xiao Ranyun had already been feeling guilty. When she saw Song Xuanhe's expression, she felt even more dejected. She gave the wine glass to Song Xuanhe and said, "Xuanhe gege, I'm really sorry. I accidentally spilled some of it."

"It's fine." Song Xuanhe shook his head slightly. He took the drink from her hand and downed it. The bitter, spicy, tart, and sour liquid slid down his throat, irritating it. However, the expression on Song Xiao Shaoye, who would always eat less of a dish if it didn't suit his palate just right, hadn't changed in the slightest. He placed the glass down onto the white tablecloth that had half-fallen off the table. The corner of his lips rose as he said, "It's just one drink. It's nothing major." sDYaNV

"Song Er—"

Zhou Nan, who hadn't been able to stop the other in time, stared at Song Xuanhe's calm expression in shock. If he hadn't personally watched Song Xuanhe mix that drink and knew what that drink tasted like, he would have suspected Song Xuanhe of having drunk a fake version of it.

The flavour of the cocktail gradually disappeared from his mouth. Song Xuanhe's cold expression slowly eased up as well. Back then, when he had first created this drink, he had succeeded in fooling Zhou Yunyang. Zhou Yunyang had been so furious that a physical fight had nearly broken out between them. Later on, because he had really liked the colour of the drink, he would ask Song Xuanhe to mix it many times. He'd then use that drink to prank other people.

Back then, when Zhou Yunyang and Song Xuanhe would see their victims grimace after drinking the beverage, the trouble-making duo would clink glasses with each other, smiles plastered on their faces. As long as this drink had been mixed, someone would have had to drink it in Zhou Yunyang's stead. Every glass had to be finished. It absolutely could not have been wasted.

Back then, the rule that every glass had to be drunk had only been formed as a part of their pranks. After Zhou Yunyang had died, however, this drink had becaoe a promise between the two. Every year on the anniversary of Zhou Yunyang's death, Song Xuanhe would mix a glass and drink it himself. After Zhou Yunyang's death, no one else had ever gotten to drink it again.

Today, he had been carried on an impulse and had let Zhou Nan drink it. After that, he had only agreed to mix another one for Xiao Ranyun, because she had said that same thing as Zhou Yunyang.

It was just that, no matter how disgusting it tasted, it was not something that just anyone was allowed to drink.

Song Xuanhe looked at Boss Sun, who was sucking in his belly. His lips curled into a cold arc, but his tone was still polite. "May I ask who you are?" U98Nc2
