After struggling for a while, Jiang Cheng gave up. This fatty was too agile. He'd have to wait for a chance when he wasn't paying attention to snatch the phone back.

　　Seeing Wu was also there tonight, and learning about the doctor's feelings for Miss Wu, Fatty was in high spirits. He insisted that since they rarely had a free night, the three brothers should have a few drinks.

　　Jiang Cheng, thinking of getting Fatty drunk and then deleting the photos, readily agreed. He used the old phone in the room to call the front desk and asked them to send up a few cases of beer.

　　A mouthful of ice-cold beer went down, and Jiang Cheng relaxed completely. In any case, the Second Generation Scarlet crisis was resolved, and their trip could be considered a success.

　　Picking up Jiang Cheng's beer can from the table and shaking it, Fatty's dissatisfied voice rang out, "Doctor, are you raising fish? Wu and I have already finished."

　　Jiang Cheng was thinking about something and didn't notice. But when he looked at Wu, he found there was no beer can in front of him. "Did he drink?" Jiang Cheng asked Fatty.

　　Before Fatty could answer, Wu picked up a can of beer and threw it directly into his mouth, swallowing it without chewing. Then he looked at Jiang Cheng.

　　Jiang Cheng: "......Do you even know how to drink? That doesn't count!"

　　Wu didn't argue with Jiang Cheng. He casually took an opened can of beer from Fatty and, in front of Jiang Cheng, chugged it down in one breath. Then he placed the empty beer can upside down on the table, not spilling a single drop.

　　Jiang Cheng curled his lip, picked up his beer, and thought to himself, *Who did Wu learn that from? He's mastered the art of showing off.* Fortunately, he hadn't met Wu when he was competing for sales in the bar a few years ago; otherwise, he might not have kept his top spot.

　　The more they drank, the more excited they became, especially Fatty. After a few cans of beer, he opened the floodgates of conversation, and the topics became more and more extensive. When they opened the second case of beer, Fatty, who was holding a beer bottle, suddenly stopped. Then, large drops of tears began to flow uncontrollably.

　　Wu stopped moving, and Jiang Cheng was also a little surprised by Fatty's actions. "What's wrong?"

　　"Huai Yi... Huai Yi loved to drink this brand of beer." Fatty held the beer can, his emotions momentarily overwhelming him. "Last time... last time we drank, he was still there, in the studio, sitting where Wu is now."

　　Fatty cried more and more sadly. Memories flooded into his mind. He had already lost too much – Wang Qi, Pi Ruan, and Number 1, who had just left them...

　　Fatty opened a can of beer for each friend who wasn't there. In an instant, the table was surrounded by beer cans. Besides Huai Yi, most of the others were Scarlet members. Now, counting him and Fatty, there were only eight Scarlet members left.

　　But Fatty seemed to think of something. He opened another can and placed it on the table. Jiang Cheng hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "Who... is this?"

　　Fatty wiped away his tears and choked out, "It's Li Shanru."

　　In a daze, Jiang Cheng finally remembered. It was the woman they met in the Marquis of Falsehood world. She wasn't a good person at first, but in the end, she used her singing to lure away the ghost steeds, allowing Fatty and him to survive.

　　Looking down at the beer cans on the table, Jiang Cheng was silent. They represented one fresh life after another. Pi Ruan's cheap, cheeky appearance appeared before his eyes – parted hair, flowered shirt, shiny leather shoes, a flattering expression of being motivated solely by profit. He would never see those again.

　　He was dead. He would never come back. But the food he had brought was still stored in the studio's refrigerator. Jiang Cheng remembered that it was all Fatty's favorite food.

　　Slowly raising the beer can in his hand, Jiang Cheng's expression was unusually heavy. "This bottle of wine is for our friends."

　　Fatty wiped away his tears and also raised his beer can. "Right! A toast to the brothers!"

　　Wu also raised his beer can. His deep red eyes dimmed. He could feel the heaviness of Fatty and Jiang Cheng's moods at this moment.

　　After drinking the wine in one gulp, Fatty suddenly threw the beer can on the ground, stood up with red eyes, and shouted at the table full of beer cans, "Don't worry, as long as I, Wang Fugui, have a breath left, I won't let you die in vain! This revenge must be taken!"

　　"Well said!" Jiang Cheng was also a bit drunk, and the pent-up resentment in his heart erupted at once. "Who gave them the guts to use me as a test subject? This revenge must be taken!"

　　Fatty and Jiang Cheng echoed each other, and the sad mood began to recede, replaced by a strong fighting spirit before the battle. Fatty waved his fist, looking very brave. "Right! What the hell is the old president, what are the Night Watchers, one by one, don't let us meet them, or we'll *ga ga* kill them all!"

　　A moment later –

　　Jiang Cheng: "*Ga*!"

　　Fatty paused for two seconds, then followed along, "*Ga*!"

　　Slowly leaning against the wall behind him, Wu put his hands behind his head and smiled, "I'll kill them all!"

　　"Hehe..."

　　"Cheers!!"

　　Three beer cans collided together. The room was filled with a vibrant atmosphere. Watching Fatty, who was stubbornly pulling Wu's hand, trying to force him to drink, Jiang Cheng suddenly froze for a moment, and his eyes softened. He had a feeling that this small room felt a little like home.

　　……

　　Hearing footsteps outside the door again, Yao Shunyu put on his clothes and opened the door. Outside the door were two men, carrying two cases of beer, hurrying over.

　　As his door opened, the door next door also opened. Li Bai wasn't asleep either. The soundproofing here wasn't very good. They both heard the noise from Jiang Cheng's room.

　　At first, it was laughter, crying, and sounds like arguing. Before long, they heard bold singing, with the occasional sound of someone clapping along.

　　Frankly speaking, the singing wasn't good, and the off-key singing was quite severe, but because it was Wang Fugui singing, Yao Shunyu could understand.

　　In short, he could feel that the people in that room were having a good time tonight.

　　Everyone was having a good time.

　　Staring at the beer cases in the hands of the two men standing in front of that door, Li Bai couldn't help but frown. Although they had just solved the Second Generation Scarlet base, there were still remnants of the Night Watchers, as well as that most troublesome old president. Was this a little too indulgent and too careless?

　　Yao Shunyu saw Li Bai's concerns. Leaning against the door, he said with a casual smile, "Don't be too nervous. It's okay to relax a little."

　　After speaking, he stopped the two men who were hesitating outside the door, wondering whether to knock. He took four cans of beer from them, kept two for himself, and threw the other two to Li Bai. "Drink the beer and get a good night's sleep." He shrugged his shoulders naturally, giving Li Bai a relaxed smile.

　　Perhaps infected by Yao Shunyu, Li Bai suddenly felt that the situation didn't seem as bad as she thought. Besides, with Wu there, which foolhardy Night Watcher remnant would dare to come here to die? Relaxing, she nodded, thanked Yao Shunyu, and closed the door with the beer.

　　Yao Shunyu also closed the door. He walked back to the bed, sat down, didn't turn on the light, just sat in the dark, opened a can of beer, and held it in his hand, drinking slowly. But the smile on his face was gone.

　　There was one thing he didn't tell Li Bai. He didn't want Li Bai to disturb them because he knew that this might be the last time the people in the room would drink together.

　　"Everyone... must survive."
