Everyone saw that Lin Qingci, the birthday girl, finally showed up, and they all rushed up to greet her.
"Qingci, you're way too late! We've been waiting for you forever!"
Lin Qingci smiled and explained, "I ran into a bit of trouble on the way. Sorry about that—I'll punish myself with three drinks in a bit!"
"Three drinks aren't enough! It's your birthday today, so we all have to drink until we drop!"
"No problem!"
At this moment, someone noticed Zhang Jingdong standing next to her and immediately asked, "Qingci, who's this handsome guy?"
Lin Qingci turned to look at Zhang Jingdong and then introduced, "This is Mr. Zhang Jingdong. He's a friend of Jieyu and just helped us a lot, so I invited him to join our party to properly thank him."
"Is that so? Well, handsome, you and Jieyu... you guys aren't just ordinary friends, are you?"
