Chapter 325: The Gathering
Jono's situation at school is much better, and I don't know if it's because of an illness, so the attitude of her colleagues towards her has changed a lot.
Xu Ying saw that everyone's attitude towards Qiao Nuo had changed, and she finally felt a little better, especially when she saw that Qiao Nuo's personality was much more cheerful, and she was also happy for Qiao Nuo.
Before leaving work, several other teachers in the office were talking about going to the party in the evening, and Xu Ying was among them.
This kind of dinner party between colleagues, Jono had never participated in before.
When she first learned about this party, she originally wanted to go, and she happily wanted to integrate into the group, but as soon as she said it, she was blocked by those teachers.
Giorno hadn't mentioned it since, and every time her colleagues talked about dinner or gatherings, she acted as if she hadn't heard them, and she had become a complete outsider.
This time was no exception.
Xu Ying and her colleagues were discussing enthusiastically, and suddenly at a glance, she saw Qiao Nuo silently correcting homework alone.
suddenly remembered what Lu Yunzheng told her when he came to school last time.
At that time, Lu Yunzheng told her that Qiao Nuo would soon return to school to come to work, so he asked Xu Ying to take care of her, and Xu Ying also agreed.
Although Lu Yunzheng said at that time that Qiao Nuo was almost recovered now, in order to make Qiao Nuo recover better, Xu Ying still wanted to take Qiao Nuo with him.
beckoned to Qiao Nuo, Xu Ying asked, "Teacher Qiao, are you going together?" ”
Qiao Nuo lifted his head from the pile of homework and smiled at Xu Ying, "I'm not going, everyone have fun." ”
"Aren't you going?" Xu Ying was a little surprised, "Everyone goes, you can go too." ”
"No, I still have something to ......"
"Anything can be done tomorrow, let's relax tonight, combine work and rest!"
As Xu Ying spoke, she came over and grabbed Qiao Nuo's hand, looked at the other teachers and asked, "How about we let Teacher Qiao go together?" ”
The other teachers, you look at me, I look at you, and quickly unified their voices: "Okay, Teacher Qiao, let's go together." ”
Xu Ying turned her head to look at Qiao Nuo, pursed her lips, opened her eyes wide, and tilted her head.
The meaning is obvious: Look, all are hoped.
It was the first time that Jono felt such enthusiasm from his colleagues, and he didn't feel that it was easy to excuse himself, so he nodded, "Since that's the case, then let's go together." ”
Xu Ying immediately cheered.
After work, Jono followed everyone to the restaurant, and during the meal, she didn't talk much, just listened to everyone talking, but she also felt very happy.
She couldn't get into such a party before, but this is the first time, and it feels so good to get together with everyone.
After eating, everyone went to KTV again and asked for a large private room.
There were more than 20 teachers together, both men and women.
Xu Ying knew that Qiao Nuo had never participated in such a party before, so she had always been by Qiao Nuo's side, but her eyes would drift away from time to time.
Although she didn't say anything, Gino still saw her eyes clearly.
"Teacher Xu, what are you looking at? Are you looking at Mr. Hu? Following Xu Ying's line of sight, Qiao Nuo really saw Teacher Hu who was also looking at Xu Ying.
It was a young male teacher, very handsome, well-talked, who taught biology.
Qiao Nuo heard that someone in the school was chasing Xu Ying recently, but he didn't know who it was.
But when she was eating just now, Xu Ying was next to her, and Teacher Hu was next to Xu Ying, and kept giving Xu Ying vegetables, and asked her to be careful when eating fish, her voice was very gentle, and it could be seen how important Xu Ying was in his heart.
Xu Ying blushed when she was said, but fortunately, the light in the private room was very dark, and she was not afraid of others seeing it, but her voice was still a little shy: "Qiao Nuo, what are you talking nonsense?" I didn't. ”
Knowing that Xu Ying was duplicitous, Qiao Nuo smiled and pushed her over there, "Go over, he's been watching you." ”
Xu Ying's head was buried lower, "I said that there was no ......"
"Go ahead." Qiao Nuo interrupted Xu Ying's words, "I know you're worried about me, but I'm fine, isn't everyone here?" ”
Xu Ying thought about it and felt that Qiao Nuo's words seemed to make sense, there were so many people here, and everyone's attitude towards Qiao Nuo had become different from before, so she didn't seem to have to worry about anything.
So, she relaxed a little, held Jono's arm and said, "Okay then, you play by yourself, I won't care about you!" ”
Qiao Nuo nodded, and in order to completely reassure Xu Ying, he also showed a smile at her.
Not long after Xu Ying went to Mr. Hu's side, the door of the private room was suddenly opened from the outside, and then a group of people, both men and women, greeted Mr. Liu as soon as they came in, as if they were very familiar.
The originally noisy private room was quiet because of the arrival of those people, only the picture on the screen reflected colored light, reflected on everyone's faces, and there was only the accompaniment of songs in the room, which was too eerily quiet.
Teacher Liu looked at those people, hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at his companion, held up the microphone and said, "Teachers, this is my friend, they happen to come here to play, but there are no private rooms, so you want to play with us, you won't mind, right?" ”
Jono sat alone in the corner, didn't say a word, other teachers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally agreed.
So, the two groups of people played together.
After going through so many things, Jono doesn't like to be as lively as before, so no matter how many people come, no matter how lively the private room is, she sits quietly in the corner alone, holding a glass of wine in her hand, drinking slowly, watching the people around her sing and play games.
There's a sense of detachment.
As Jono was thinking, two people suddenly sat on the left and right, a man and a woman.
Jono was caught in the middle, and shrunk his shoulders a little uncomfortably.
The man and the woman couldn't help but laugh when they saw Jono like this.
The girl was not very old, about twenty years old, she smiled beautifully, her voice was like a silver bell, and she said to Jono: "You are also a teacher, right?" We are friends of Mr. Liu, let's play together, let's have a drink together. ”
Although this sounded like she was asking Jono, before Jono could speak, she had already lightly touched the cup in her hand with the cup in Jono's hand, and then tilted her head and poured the glass of wine in her hand into her stomach.
The other party is so simple, if Qiao Nuo twists and pinches again, it will seem too hypocritical, and even the other party may have any opinions about Teacher Liu.
So, Jono had no choice but to raise his head and drink the wine in his glass.
As soon as he put the cup down, his hand suddenly sank, and when he looked down, Jono saw that the cup he had just emptied had been filled by the girl again.
The boy also raised his glass, "Beauty, I think I'm quite close to you, let's make friends, come, I respect you." ”
Qiao Nuo watched the man drink the wine too, and she couldn't say no, so she had to drink it too.
But I didn't expect that every time Jono just finished drinking a glass, the two of them would fill her glass and say all kinds of unshirkable things.
Jono was persuaded to drink cup by cup, and gradually became a little dizzy, so he put down the cup in his hand, "I'm sorry, I can't drink it......"
"Teacher Qiao, don't be so modest, let's meet for the first time, give face." The girl said, pouring Jono another glass of wine.
Jono had just swallowed the wine when the next glass was handed over.
Jono hurriedly reached out to block the cup, and at the same time asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”
The man and the woman were stunned, and then laughed again, "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
"yes, let's have another drink......
Although Jono was a little dizzy, he was still very conscious, "Am I talking nonsense? ”
Squinting his eyes, Qiao Nuo said again: "I have just met you, but I have never said what my surname is or what my name is, how do you know what my surname is?" ”
was told by Qiao Nuo, and the girl realized that her sentence "Teacher Qiao" had just missed the filling.
Frowning, the girl reopened: "Teacher Qiao, we are friends with Teacher Liu, it's not strange to know you, right?" ”
"It's not strange, but you've just ......"
Seeing that Qiao Nuo had been talking, the man gritted his teeth, grabbed Qiao Nuo's hand, poured wine into her mouth, and said at the same time: "I said that I was making a friend, what's so strange about knowing the name of a friend?" Come, Mr. Qiao, don't be modest, let's keep drinking. ”
Jono wanted to stop it, but the girl simply pressed Jono in place, so that she didn't even have the strength to stop it.
The private room was very noisy, everyone was singing or playing, no one noticed this scene in the corner, and Gino didn't even have a chance to shout for help.
At first, the two of them still had some scruples, just pouring wine into Jono one by one, but when they got to the back, they probably saw that no one was paying attention to this side at all, so they simply stuck Jono's chin and poured the whole bottle of wine directly into her mouth.
Jono didn't know how much wine he had been poured into, he just felt more and more dizzy, more and more dizzy, and he didn't feel it at all.
Seeing that Jono was completely drunk, the two men looked around again, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to this side, they set up Jono from left to right and walked outside.
Out of KTV, the girl took out her mobile phone and made a call, and the call was quickly connected.
As soon as she heard the voice on the other end of the phone, the girl quickly asked, "We have brought people out, what now...... Yes, there is a hotel next to it...... Fifteenth floor? What is the room number...... I see, do you remember to give us the rest of the money......"
After hanging up the phone, the girl whispered a few words to her companion, and then took Gino into the hotel next to her, went directly into the elevator, and pressed the floor.
After arriving on the fifteenth floor, the two of them looked at the room number while walking with Jono, and when they arrived at the door of a certain room, they raised their hands and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and inside were several shirtless men, with dragons and tigers tattooed on their exposed chests and arms, and their eyes were sharp, without the slightest kindness.
