In the evening, Gao Yang didn't drink with Glolov. He went with Number Thirteen to meet Murphy because he was still thinking about the surprise Murphy mentioned.
Gao Yang and Number Thirteen arrived first. They waited outside a high-end restaurant for Murphy, who finally appeared after eight, arriving late.
Murphy exuded happiness from every pore as he approached the two, loudly proclaiming, "Tonight, it's on me!"
Gao Yang discontentedly replied, "Isn't that how it should be?"
Murphy arrogantly led the way into the restaurant. After sitting at the reserved spot, he waved a hand and laughed, "Pop the champagne! We're drinking champagne tonight!"
Once the waiter delivered the champagne, Murphy personally opened it and poured a glass for each of them, raising his glass high with a breath and a smile, "To Number Thirteen's intuition, Ram's shot, and my good luck. Cheers!"
After downing the champagne, Gao Yang set down his empty cup and nodded, "You really were lucky."
