Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 473 - 472: Drink Less, Pretend to Be Drunk If Necessary
```
Pang Zihao saw Ge Dongxu merely respond with an indifferent smile, a faint trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes, and immediately followed up with another question, "Dongxu, where is your hometown?"
"Changxi County," Ge Dongxu replied.
"Changxi County, that's under Ouzhou City, right? Then you and Yanran are kind of fellow townspeople, as she's from the urban area of Ouzhou City," Pang Zihao said, a hint of scorn apparent in his eyes.
Linzhou City is the provincial capital, and Pang Zihao is even the son of the Deputy District Chief of Bindong District in the provincial capital, and he himself works in the finance bureau of the city government. To someone like him, Changxi County is nothing more than a rural place.
"That's right," Ge Dongxu nodded.
"What are you talking about?" During their conversation, Lin Xiaojie turned back and asked.
"Haha, don't worry, as a senior, I wouldn't go so far as to bully a freshman. At most, I'll just make him drink a few more glasses later," Pang Zihao laughed.
"Wow, Pang bro, making him drink a few more glasses, isn't that still bullying?" Lin Xiaojie exaggerated, a slight worry flashing in her eyes.
She didn't dare have high expectations for the alcohol tolerance of a freshman.
"You, Lin Xiaojie, if you protect Ge Dongxu like this, then he must drink a few more glasses tonight!" Pang Zihao declared.
"Dongxu, it looks like you have to drink more tonight. Otherwise, us guys will feel unbalanced. Back when we were in school, aside from Pang bro, everyone had either a secret or open crush on Lin Xiaojie, yet she never took much notice. Now, she's all out protecting you. No, you must drink more later. Brothers, don't you agree?" Pan Sheng'an immediately stoked the fire fearfully.
"Lin Xiaojie, we can't help you this time!" Xu Yumo and other girls said helplessly upon seeing the situation.
"This, this…" Only Xu Yanran showed a hint of urgency, and her heart also held some silent blame towards Lin Xiaojie for bringing Ge Dongxu over.
After all, her relationship with Ge Dongxu could only be described as a fleeting encounter, hardly any friendship to speak of. If he ended up drunk because of this, it would be quite awkward.
But that was a secondary concern. What she really feared was that later on, Ge Dongxu, being too scholarly, would refuse to drink more, or even just up and leave, thus offending Pang Zihao. That would truly be throwing Ge Dongxu under the bus.
After all, Pang Zihao's father was a Deputy District Chief.
Seeing Xu Yanran's anxious expression, Pang Zihao felt even more displeased when he looked at Ge Dongxu.
Ge Dongxu, on the other hand, felt a slight sense of relief. He had come to solve the impending disaster in Xu Yanran's fortune, and if she were to act like Xu Yumo and the others, he really would have been putting himself out there for nothing.
"No problem. Today is Yumo's birthday, we should all be happy and naturally drink a bit more," Ge Dongxu said with a smile, cutting her off before Xu Yanran could say anything further.
"Awesome! Freshmen are fierce!" Pang Zihao and the others cheered loudly, a gleam of schadenfreude in their eyes, while Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yumo were inwardly anxious. However, at this moment, it was not appropriate for them to say anything else.
After all, they were still students, whereas Pang Zihao and the rest had already started working in society, with each having more or less some background, especially Pang Zihao who was indeed impressive. They might even need to ask for their help in securing a good job after graduation.
Just as Pang Zihao and the others were cheering aloud, the waiter pushed in the cake and entered the private room.
```
Seeing the cake arrive, Pang Zihao and the others temporarily shifted their attention. They started lighting the candles, singing the birthday song, Xu Yumo made a wish, blew out the candles, and then cut a piece of cake for everyone to share.
After such a relatively formal ceremony, the rest of the event became very casual.
Those who wanted to sing sang, those who wanted to drink drank.
Of course, before drinking, they couldn't avoid toasting to Xu Yumo, the birthday girl. However, after toasting to her, the guys started approaching Ge Dongxu on their own initiative.
"Come on, Dongxu, you've barely started college and you're already hitting on my campus belle. To put it mildly, you're a force to be reckoned with! We've got to chug a bottle straight up," Pan Sheng'an, full of jealousy, was the first to launch an attack on Ge Dongxu with a small bottle of Budweiser beer in hand.
"Hey, Pan Sheng'an, what are you doing? The party's just gotten started, who drinks like that!" Lin Xiaojie interjected, somewhat frantically stepping in front of Ge Dongxu and standing tall with her chest out.
It was then that Ge Dongxu noticed although Lin Xiaojie was shorter than Xu Yanran, her chest was somehow more substantial.
"No way, Lin Xiaojie, we are from the same faculty after all, and we used to work together in the student union. We've known each other for several years. This freshman, who has only been at our school for a few days, you're protecting him like this—isn't that a bit ungrateful?" Pan Sheng'an, seeing Lin Xiaojie so protective of Ge Dongxu, felt his jealousy flare up, his face turning shades.

"Yeah, yeah, Lin Xiaojie, by doing this you really hurt us seniors' feelings," Wang Fanchun and the others joined in, looking at Ge Dongxu with unfriendly eyes.
As the saying goes, the good stuff shouldn't be wasted on outsiders!
If any of them had snagged Lin Xiaojie, they would have felt a bit of regret but not really anger. However, now that a freshman from the Environmental and Resource Sciences faculty had won her over, these guys naturally felt humiliated, as if they had been slapped in the face.
Seeing Wang Fanchun and the others starting to make a buzz, Lin Xiaojie was both anxious and regretful. At this moment, it was not the right time to explain that she had brought Ge Dongxu as a last-minute shield. To speak out now would be to completely offend Pan Sheng'an and the others.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's all just have a good time, it's just beer. If we have to chug a bottle, then we chug a bottle," Ge Dongxu didn't want Lin Xiaojie to feel uncomfortable, so he stood up, smiling, and pulled her aside as he spoke.
"Right, it's just beer after all. Foreigners drink it like water," Pan Sheng'an and the others said.
"Drink less, and if you can't handle it, just pretend to be drunk!" Lin Xiaojie, seeing she couldn't persuade them anymore, leaned in and whispered the advice into Ge Dongxu's ear.
As she spoke, Lin Xiaojie's body pressed against Ge Dongxu, much to the fury of Pan Sheng'an and the others, almost spitting fire from their eyes.
Damn it! This was just unbearable! They had to get this engineering guy drunk tonight!
Ge Dongxu smiled at Lin Xiaojie and then clinked his bottle with Pan Sheng'an, saying, "Senior Pan, I'll finish this in one go!"
As he spoke, Ge Dongxu picked up the bottle and emptied it with a few gulps, without taking a breath. On the other hand, Pan Sheng'an had to take a breath before he could finish his small bottle.
"Eat something quick," Lin Xiaojie saw how diligently Ge Dongxu was playing his "shield" role and, feeling both distressed and guilty, she quickly skewered a piece of beef jerky with a toothpick and stuffed it into his mouth.
This sight, just as Pan Sheng'an managed to chug down a bottle of beer, almost made him frustrated enough to pick up another bottle and start chugging again.
This damn thing was just infuriating!
