Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1370 - 20: Parent-Child Field Day (Part 4)_3

"Dad, Mom, I know you both have some confusion in your hearts..."
"Oh, it’s such a surprise that you know that!" Mrs. Gongsun said sarcastically.
Gongsun Ce instinctively shrank his neck:"But all these misunderstandings can be cleared up! Actually, I’ve done many meaningful extracurricular activities this year, like forming a club with Qin Qianbai, Mr. Shiyu, and Kardesia... If you want to know more, we can start talking about it from here, okay?"
Mr. Gongsun smirked:"Ah Ce, we’re really curious about your extracurricular life, and also curious about how much time you dedicate to your studies..."
"I’m studying well!" Gongsun Ce said loudly.
"But the show you’ve prepared for us today is quite eye-opening, and it doesn’t seem like your club is doing anything formal, right?"
"Rest assured, the activities of their club are all healthy and positive. I can vouch for that as their club advisor!" Teacher Aidal said.
Teacher Aidal led the group towards the fourth floor of building E, acting as the club advisor. During the few minutes of Gongsun Ce’s absence, she utilized her full verbal skills to gloss over the absurd ’giant dragon extermination battle’. Hearing Gongsun Ce’s suggestion to visit the activity room, she breathed a sigh of relief. To Shiyu Ling, it seemed like the only correct decision in a day full of errors. Watching songs in the activity room shouldn’t cause any issues, no matter how Gongsun Ce planned to narrate his exciting adventures...
That was his own business, and the rest of them could enjoy themselves watching the fun without getting dragged into trouble!
Gongsun Ce was also adjusting his mindset; confessing now didn’t seem like a difficult decision. Imagine, over the past year at Jihui Bureau, he’s traveled far and wide, accomplished quite a few things... Picking a few interesting bits to share with his parents wouldn’t be bad at all! Finding a girl he made invisible with his abilities, going to Zero Island to help a teacher with family issues, conducting giant dragon geography research at the Unites, all these stories are worth sharing. Many things, when told differently, wouldn’t even sound wrong to Mom and Dad, so why hide them? It’s filled with youth and positive energy!
Gongsun Ce arrived at the activity room door, feeling more and more confident:"We have done so much this year, left behind a lot of them in the activity room. You two will surely be surprised after seeing it..."
"Ah Ce."
At this moment, Qin Qianbai quietly tugged his sleeve. Gongsun Ce turned and saw her pointing downstairs. A guy wearing a baseball cap at the entrance of building E was frantically waving, trying to mouth words to him.
Gongsun Ce carefully discerned:"Inside... someone...?"
Shiyu Ling pushed the small activity room door open, and the dim space was filled with shadows, unknown creatures howling loudly, a chasm-like smell of alcohol burst out!
"Drink it all! Not drinking is disrespectful, you must finish this barrel today!!" A blonde woman raised the barrel, one foot on a stool.
The middle-aged man in a cowboy hat shirt holding two large glass mugs downing them:"Damn it, when it comes to drinking, I’m never afraid of anyone!"
The blond muscular guy in sunglasses lifted a oak barrel:"Great, keep going!"
"Drink!""Cheers!""First one to drop gets tossed out naked!""Is there any more snacks?""Hahaha, what a blast!"
The small activity room was full of beer bottles and cans, peanuts and edamame. In the middle of the table, a pile of cigarette butts overflowed an ashtray, and some imaginative guy had brought three barrels of aged wine. Three foreigners reeking of alcohol were indulging in the room, and the woman drinking the most aggressively noticed Gongsun Ce, raised her glass:"Oh you’re all having fun, aren’t you?"
Gongsun Ce’s voice was frail as never before:"Why are you here? Why are you here???"
He knew all three drunks; the blond sunglasses guy was Ranger Vitt, the cowboy hat shirt man was champion Klein, and the blond woman was the Saint herself... But damn it, why is this group of United people on my turf? Why are they in my activity room?!
Seviss wandered over, reeking of alcohol:"The champion came to visit Gaius’s kid, Vitt brought a group here for a trip. We happened to meet, so we decided to find a place to have a few drinks... But there’s no bar in your school, it wouldn’t look good to drink in front of students! So I borrowed this place from Kardesia to avoid a bad influence, how’s that for public awareness!"
She happily patted Gongsun Ce’s shoulder, and before he could respond, she eagerly looked at the equally pale Shiyu Ling: "Shiyu Ling your outfit today is quite stylish! Are you two acting as teachers again?"
Shiyu Ling was utterly distraught: "Miss, you’ve got the wrong person, I’m Alice Adar..."
"Huh?" Seviss didn’t get it, "How come even the name changed today?"
Ranger Vitt hadn’t drunk much, his logic still intact, knew to greet the new couple. He kindly handed them two glasses:"Want some?"
Mr. Gongsun declined:"No, thank you."
Qin Qianbai was trying her best to act like a vase, Shiyu Ling started adopting a vase meditation method, while Gongsun Ce tried hard to come up with a coherent and perfect excuse for the gathering of drunks. His almost overloading brain had already thought the plan through to perfection, but in the chaos of the reality, there were still unforeseeable variables, one being some of them getting quite drunk.
Just before he was about to speak, Klein jiggled a bottle jokingly:"Hey, how come the playboy’s got so few women around him today?"
Mrs. Gongsun’s keen observation immediately caught the key point of the chaotic scene:"Playboy?"
Gongsun Ce started inching backwards, moving towards the doorway at a near crawling pace. Klein sensed something was off:"Sorry, just kidding..."
"No, no, sir, that’s not a joke, this is quite important." Mrs. Gongsun said, "Old man, you speak the language well, ask these foreigners what he did to earn that nickname?"
Mr. Gongsun, sharp-eyed, focused on the most honest-looking guy in the room. He grabbed Ranger Vitt’s hand, kindly asked:"Sir, may I trouble you to resolve my confusion. My son Gongsun Ce... does he have a girlfriend now?"
Ranger Vitt glanced around, holding a glass, stammering:"Ye...yes."
Mr. Gongsun gently urged:"How many?"
The small activity room became eerily quiet, Gongsun Ce’s feet were almost at the door, the two flower vases were glaring at him. Ranger Vitt’s buzz instantly cleared, instincts honed through years of battles revealed the dangers of this moment. He began quickly weighing pros and cons:
Saying the truth would offend one person terribly.
Saying a lie would offend four people terribly.
So, Vitt, think carefully, use the alcohol in your brain, how should you answer right now?
Ranger Vitt downed a glass of vodka, loudly said:"Four!"
Gongsun Ce bolted out the door for dear life, yet unfortunately tripped over vase number one, and even more unfortunately was grabbed by vase number two, he fell right at the door of Cyber Ghost Music Club. Immediately, the lion’s roar of a middle-aged woman echoed through the teaching building.
"Gong! Sun! Ce!"
"Help——!!!"
