"Are you worried about me, my little Jiaqi?" He deliberately emphasized the word "little," as if teasing her.

"Who's worried about you? I'm just afraid that no one will take care of you if you get drunk!" Ning Jiaqi retorted stubbornly, but a faint blush appeared on her face.

The interaction between the two appeared to outsiders to be flirtatious. This public display of affection drew disdainful looks from many around Lin Chen.

"What's wrong with a grown man having a drink? Lin Chen, don't tell me you're such a coward that you're too scared to drink anymore?"

Suddenly, Yang Meixi stood up and loudly interrupted the two of them, thinking she was adding fuel to the fire of their drinking contest. Little did she know that this was the opportunity Lin Chen had been waiting for!

Lin Chen calmly picked up a full glass of red wine that had already been poured, walked over to Yang Meixi, and said with a smile, "Well said! Who said I'm afraid to drink? Meixi, as Jiaqi's good roommate, I should toast you properly to thank you for taking care of her. Come on, let's drink until we drop!"

Before Yang Meixi could react, Lin Chen had already tilted his head back and downed a whole glass of red wine!

The students around her were stunned, and Yang Meixi was even more dumbfounded. Although she could drink alcohol, she usually sipped it slowly. She didn't know if she could handle drinking a whole glass of strong red wine in one go.

In an instant, a terrifying memory flashed through Yang Meixi's mind. That time, she was with Lin Ruoyue, and she thought it would be a night of "marital bliss," but unexpectedly, Lin Ruoyue forced her to drink an entire bottle of red wine, and then she lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she found herself stripped naked, tied up, and covered in smears and stuffed with... Yang Meixi didn't dare go back, it was a "horrible sight"!

Now, facing this whole glass of red wine, Yang Meixi's long-buried fears were rekindled. However, Lin Chen's words pulled her back to reality from her memories.

"What's wrong, Meixi? Aren't you going to give me this face?" Lin Chen looked at her with a half-smile, his eyes revealing an indescribable depth.

Yang Meixi glared at Lin Chen fiercely, knowing in her heart that he was doing it on purpose. But what could she do now that things had come to this? She could only grit her teeth, take the wine glass, and shakily gulp down the entire glass of wine.

"Meixi, are you alright?" Ning Jiaqi hurriedly stood up to support the swaying Yang Meixi, while giving Lin Chen a resentful look. Her meaning was clear: no matter how much Yang Meixi targeted you, she was still just a weak girl. Did you have to be so ruthless?

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

After regaining her balance, Yang Meixi fiercely wiped her mouth with her hand and glared at Lin Chen. However, when she looked up, she found that Lin Chen had somehow filled another glass with wine!

What exactly is this guy up to? This question arose in the minds of everyone, including Yang Meixi.

"People here always believe in good things coming in pairs. That last drink was to thank Meixi for taking care of Jiaqi before, and this one is to ask her to continue taking care of Jiaqi for me in the future. Come on, I'll drink this first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chen emptied his entire glass of red wine again!

This time, the students could no longer contain their astonishment and began to discuss among themselves, wondering if Lin Chen was even human. He was actually drinking such high-proof red wine like mineral water, which was truly astonishing!

Yang Meixi was furious and glared at Lin Chen as if she wanted to tear him to pieces.

"You heartless Lin Chen, are you trying to wipe us all out?" she said through gritted teeth.

Seeing this, Ning Jiaqi quickly stepped in front of Yang Meixi, trying to calm things down. "Alright, Master, stop making a scene!" she pleaded.

Lin Chen shrugged, a smug smile playing on his lips. "I wasn't making a scene. I was genuinely thanking Meixi! But since Meixi isn't going to give me face and doesn't want to drink, I won't force her. It's fine. After all, she's just a girl. How could I, a grown man, make things difficult for a delicate little girl? Right?"

To an uninformed outsider, Lin Chen's words might have seemed gentlemanly. But to Yang Meixi, they were a profound humiliation!

As a lace witch, what she can't stand the most is being looked down upon by men!

"Who are you saying is afraid to drink? You dare say we women are inferior to you men?!" she shouted angrily.

Lin Chen chuckled inwardly, knowing that for these lesbians, a simple comparison between men and women would immediately enrage them.

Ning Jiaqi hurriedly interjected, "Meixi, that's not what my master meant! Oh dear, don't drink! Don't drink anymore!"

However, Ning Jiaqi couldn't stop Yang Meixi at all. Under everyone's astonished gaze, the furious Yang Meixi tilted her head back and gulped down an entire glass of red wine!

Even Wang Erbo over there was dumbfounded. These two guys are too strong!

After downing that glass of wine, Yang Meixi could no longer stand and collapsed into a chair, her vision blurring. She began to mutter to herself in a somewhat disoriented manner, as if trying to express something.

Lin Chen couldn't resist teasing her at this moment, "Miss Meixi has quite the capacity for alcohol! You truly are a woman who doesn't yield to men! Would you like to continue?"

Seeing that Lin Chen was about to pour more wine, Ning Jiaqi finally lost her temper. She snatched the wine glass, raised her foot, and stomped hard on Lin Chen's instep! The stomp seemed to hurt Lin Chen a little, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.

The party continued, but the atmosphere had already changed due to Lin Chen's incredible behavior. The initially somewhat reserved and formal gathering quickly became much more casual. Fewer people were urging each other to drink; everyone had witnessed Lin Chen's drinking capacity, and no one wanted to risk making a fool of themselves.

Ning Jiaqi temporarily settled Yang Meixi in the nearby rest room and quickly asked someone to bring her strong tea and hangover medicine. By this time, Yang Meixi was starting to act out, unconsciously revealing all the "explosive 18+" things she had done with Lin Ruoyue and even Jin Songzhu!

Fortunately, there was no one else in the rest room, otherwise the situation would have been quite awkward.

Back in her seat, Ning Jiaqi still glared at Lin Chen with a resentful look, complaining that he had gotten Yang Meixi into that state. However, despite her complaints, her actions betrayed her. Since Lin Chen had also drunk quite a bit, Ning Jiaqi quickly poured him a bowl of chicken soup.
