The next morning, golden sunlight streamed through the window frames, dewdrops glistened on the roses in the courtyard, and a faint fragrance wafted in with the breeze. The whole world seemed like a baby waking from slumber, brimming with vitality and energy.

Su Zelin also opened his eyes in this bright morning.

Holding his head that was still throbbing from the hangover, he looked bewildered.

Uh, wasn't I drinking with Uncle Qin last night? How come I'm lying in bed with the sky still so bright?

I seem to have... gotten drunk!

After a while, Su Zelin reached a conclusion.

Three men drinking two cases of beer, and I somehow got drunk, so embarrassing!

He felt as if his reputation was utterly ruined.

Before being reborn, he was a king of nightlife, known as the "Little Prince of Nightlife," how could he be this weak?

It seems my youthful body hasn't yet experienced the baptism of alcohol, it needs gradual training!

After waking up, he urgently needed to pee, having held it in all night, feeling like his bladder could burst at any moment.

Su Zelin quickly climbed out of bed, dashed into the bathroom, and shut the door to relieve himself with a "splash splash."

From a meter away from the urinal, he accurately hit the target, causing Su Zelin to marvel at how great it was to be young. Before being reborn, he would have had to stand at least 30cm closer, but this was not bad, much better than those guys who get their feet wet even when the wind blows.

After relieving himself, his whole body felt light and comfortable. No wonder some birds at the Second High School always held it in for several classes, until they were on the verge of exploding before they went to the bathroom; it certainly had a mysterious satisfaction.

After flushing, he walked out of the bathroom, trying hard to recall what happened after he passed out but could remember nothing, completely blank.

It must have been Dad or Mom who helped me into the room, Su Zelin didn't think much about it.

The more pressing issue now was his mom's anger!

Getting drunk on his first open drinking session, his mom was probably furious and wouldn't spare him a beating when he woke up.

What to do?

Maybe sneak off to the internet cafe to lay low and avoid the sharp edge for now.

But you can't hide forever, eventually, you have to go home.

Maybe shift the blame to Dad, saying I had already asked to stop drinking last night, but he insisted on continuing.

But doing that would make it hard to ask for pocket money later, so that's not a good plan either.

Oh right, I can play the sympathy card!

Just tell Mom that I drank too much and my head feels like it's going to explode, my whole body feels like it's falling apart, maybe even caught a cold.

Maybe Mom would feel sorry and I could get away with a few lighter hits.

Of course, getting off scot-free is impossible, unless a miracle happens. For a high school graduate to get drunk, Mom's bound to give a partial beating to make her stance clear, otherwise, where would her authority be?

Su Zelin pondered while walking out of the bathroom, only to see Mom standing in the living room.

Feigning weakness, he appeared as if he was recovering from a severe illness, weakly saying, "Mom, I'm sorry, I got the English subject top score, I was just too happy last night and accidentally drank too much."

He didn't forget to emphasize the "English subject top score," meaning to remind Mom that the person standing in front of her was a champion, go easy on the punishment!

"It's okay, it's rare to be happy!"

Surprisingly, Zhao Lixia did not rush over with a broom as he imagined, but rather spoke with a smile.

"Your dad is right, a little drink every now and then is fine, it can help with networking, but don't drink too much next time, it's not good for your health!"

Su Zelin was stunned.

Mom's reaction was too abnormal.

He studied her for a moment, then realized Zhao Lixia was genuine.

He couldn't believe it.

Could it be? Is this my mom?

The "loving mother with a sword, chopping down rebellious children, lightning blade under the sun, critical hits every time," my dear mother?

A miracle really happened!

Mom didn't come out with a full attack build today, instead, she came with a support build, encouraging drinking, can you believe that?

Is the power of the English subject top score that strong? It can actually change Mom's nature!

After a while, Su Zelin came back to his senses, awkwardly laughing, "I got it, Mom."

"I just made some scallion pancakes, why don't you take some to Uncle Qin and Aunty?" Zhao Lixia said and then thought of something: "Oh right, remember to thank Shiqing casually!"

Why should I thank Qin Shiqing?

Su Zelin felt puzzled.

She must have helped Mom clean up the mess last night. After all, the table was a mess after dinner, and Dad and Uncle Qin usually don't do much housework, not to mention they drank quite a bit.

But isn't helping Mom clean up a normal thing for Qin Shiqing? Why remind me to specifically thank her?

Su Zelin didn't get it, but still responded with an "Oh."

Zhao Lixia came out of the kitchen with two plates of scallion pancakes.

This is a specialty breakfast from Zhejiang Province, made using white flour to create spring roll wrappers, then wrapping them around fried dough sticks and scallion segments, repeatedly pressing flat on a skillet until golden brown, then spreading with mashed sauce or sweet sauce.

This dish has a crispy outer layer, a chewy middle, and a savory and soft fried dough stick inside.

Su Zelin felt a bit hungry too, and his mouth watered, he reached out to grab a piece, but Zhao Lixia slapped his hand, "Don't sneak bites, these are for Shiqing and their family, we have plenty at home!"

"Alright, Mom!"

Su Zelin sneaked out the door and when he reached a spot out of his mom's sight, he quickly picked up a piece and stuffed it in his mouth.

No way not to sneak a bite, it tastes even better stolen~~~

...

At the Qin family, Qin Shiqing was washing dishes in the kitchen, having just finished breakfast.
