He should have stepped forward to…

Chapter 19: Why is my body out of control? Chu Fuxuan’s alcohol tolerance had always been quite good. In the United States, there were many college pubs that had become a natural part of the social ecosystem. The vibe was casual, like passing the time, and people would often invite each other out for a drink. Because the prices were affordable, the patrons were…
