The next day, Guo Xuyang woke up with a splitting headache, his scalp wound throbbing as if it would burst.
How long had it been since he’d drunk like this? He couldn’t remember, perhaps only during the farewell dinner after graduation. Since entering society, he hadn't drunk with such abandon.
He had indeed been very happy yesterday. Although he hadn't drunk much at first, he couldn't resist Mr. Wu's enthusiasm, and they had ordered two more bottles in the middle.
Right, why hadn't that brat Xiao Yun knocked on his door today? Had she also drunk too much yesterday? He had clearly heard her whispered conversation with Chen Hailing yesterday, and they had actually cursed him as a prodigal son behind his back. If a badger could be tolerated, an uncle couldn't. He would definitely spank her when he got back, letting her know the consequences of badmouthing others.
But what she said seemed to be true. Back then, Cheng Xiuping had mentioned that top-grade jadeite didn't necessarily have to be imperial green. He still had a piece of jadeite stored in the bank, weighing twenty catties, which could be made into a storage box. How had he not thought of that? He couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
Regret was useless now. The storage box had probably already been made.
Storage? He remembered the little spirit of ability saying there was a storage ability.
"Yu'er, are you there?" he couldn't help but call out to the little spirit of ability, Yu'er.
"Yes, Master. What are your orders?" Yu'er's soft voice responded.
"Can I exchange for the storage ability today?"
"Of course, Master. As long as you have enough merit points, you can exchange for any ability."
"Then I'll exchange for the storage ability." As soon as he finished speaking, a sound rang out.
"Ding… Congratulations Master, you have successfully exchanged for the storage ability. Master is now at the novice level of storage ability, capable of storing any object within ten meters. Each level up requires a thousand merit points, and it can be raised to level nine. At level nine, you can store all things in the universe."
Nani? Store all things in the universe? Can I store the stars and the moon? Am I not the creator?
Well, well, my ambitions aren't that great. Setting a small goal of making a little money is enough. I shouldn't look for trouble.
No ambition, just going with the flow. Such a life is also good. Moreover, there are still hundreds of millions of yuan saved in the bank.
Guo Xuyang thought to himself.
He looked at the phone beside him, "Store." With a thought, the phone disappeared, actually hovering in his mind.
"Retrieve." The phone returned to its original position.
He then looked at the clothes in the distance, "Store." The clothes also entered his mind.
"Retrieve." The clothes returned to their original position.
This storage ability is truly wonderful. With it, he no longer needs to use a bank to store jadeite.
He was engrossed in playing when there was a knock on the door.
"Lazy pig, are you up yet? Want me to warm your bed?" Xiao Yun's voice sounded again.
No, I must definitely do something to her today. Guo Xuyang couldn't help but think. She tortures me every day. Does she really think I'm a sick cat when I don't show my fangs?
"Coming, coming, am I late today? Were you also drunk yesterday?" he asked as he opened the door.
"Mm. Are you still groggy? I've been up for a while and went downstairs to get you breakfast. You're not going to eat and run, are you?" Xiao Yun said indignantly, holding the breakfast.
"What? You didn't leave yesterday? You, you..." Guo Xuyang's heart skipped a beat, and he blinked his eyes vigorously, saying, "You didn't sleep in the same bed as me, did you?"
"I didn't expect you to be that kind of person, really not admitting it? Fine, Guo Xuyang, I see what kind of person you are now." Xiao Yun threw the breakfast into his hands and turned to run out.
This rhythm is wrong! Did I really do something to her? Impossible, right? My God! Could it be that my life is ruined by this woman? Guo Xuyang truly had no one to turn to.
Xiao Yun almost burst out laughing after running out. This fool! Do you think I'm that kind of person? But seeing his bewildered look, he really seemed to have blacked out yesterday.
Do men disregard their lives when they see alcohol? The three of them drank four catties of white wine, and then they even drank two bottles of red wine as if it were tea.
Yesterday, after drinking, the three of them were almost inseparable. It seemed like they were all fine. Why do they all forget today?
Fortunately, she brought him back with Ling'er, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even with a thousand mouths. Such jokes shouldn't be played again, she thought.
Despite her thoughts, she couldn't help but sigh. This fool, instead of the surprise after doing the deed, only showed fright. Alas, let nature take its course.
She turned and walked into Guo Xuyang's room, seeing him still sitting on the bed foolishly, with a bewildered look on his face.
"I don't need you to take responsibility, eat quickly. After eating, let's hurry to the Cheng family, I'm a little impatient," Xiao Yun said, looking at Guo Xuyang's expression, unable to tell if she was sad or upset. "How much money do you think half of the Cheng family's assets are worth?"
No wonder she was so attentive; she was waiting for this.
Guo Xuyang looked up at her and said, "I will take responsibility for you."
"Responsibility for your big head! Eat quickly, half the family fortune, it makes me excited just thinking about it." Xiao Yun had a greedy look on her face.
When the two of them went downstairs, Liu Qiang was already waiting at the door.
He hadn't called, as Cheng Xiuping had specifically instructed him before they left.
After all, they had all drunk a lot yesterday. Who knew what time they would wake up today? Calling might disturb them and be counterproductive.
The two of them first went to the Jin Baolai Jadeite specialty store to pick up the carved storage boxes.
When they arrived at the store, Wu Youzhi hadn't arrived yet. Guo Xuyang specifically made a phone call, and it seemed Wu Youzhi hadn't woken up yet. His call was answered after several rings.
"Brother, I'm so sorry. I really can't make it to the store today. Just take it directly. I specifically arranged it with the carver yesterday. I'll call him to deliver it to you later."
"Okay, drink plenty of water later. Brother, I also had a blackout yesterday and can't remember anything about last night."
"Brother, it's good to be young, waking up so early. Brother is truly old now."
The two chatted for a few minutes and hung up.
Soon, the carver they met yesterday came downstairs with the storage boxes. He carefully placed the storage boxes on the coffee table in the lobby, then opened the lid and took out three lifelike insects, a hunting dog, and an eagle.
"Not bad, truly not bad. Thank you for your hard work, Master. Thank you!" Guo Xuyang thanked the carver.
"You're welcome, it's my duty. As long as you are satisfied, sir."
The carver restored the storage boxes to their original state and carefully handed them to Guo Xuyang.
The two arrived at the Cheng family's residence before eleven o'clock. As soon as they got out of the car, Cheng Xiuping ran over, smiling and saying, "Brother, you have great drinking capacity. I bow to your skill." Then he put his arm around Guo Xuyang's shoulder and led him inside.
Seeing the two of them acting so chummy, Xiao Yun was a bit dumbfounded. Was male friendship so simple? All resolved with a drink? She understood men too little, too little.
