Lu Qingzhou strode forward, his gaze sweeping over the overturned wine bottles on the table, his brows furrowing slightly: "How much have you all been drinking?"
Leng Yue winked mischievously, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Not much, just a little over two bottles, but she drank most of it."
Her eyes were clear and innocent, but they aroused Lu Qingzhou's suspicion—knowing Chen Xiaoxi's alcohol tolerance, two bottles of red wine were not enough to make her so drunk.
"You're already drunk on this little bit of alcohol? Xiaoxi's alcohol tolerance is about the same as yours."
Lu Qingzhou's words were tinged with confusion.
Leng Yue shrugged, feigning helplessness: "It's probably because everyone's in a bad mood. Alright, stop talking, let's take her back to the clinic."
Lu Qingzhou nodded, not asking any further questions, and bent down to help Chen Xiaoxi up from Leng Yue's arms. However, the person in his arms was as limp as if she had no bones, almost completely slumped against him. She couldn't take a single step.
Seeing this, Leng Yue raised an eyebrow and suggested, "I think you should carry her down; she can't walk like this."
At this moment, her pretty face was framed by long hair, and her eyes were slightly open as she quietly observed everything outside, holding her breath tightly.
He had such a mischievous and clever look on him. He didn't look like someone who was completely drunk at all.
Upon hearing Leng Yue's suggestion, Lu Qingzhou did not hesitate. He squatted down, put Chen Xiaoxi's arm on his shoulder, and straightened up to carry her steadily on his back.
Chen Xiaoxi's long hair fell like black silk, obscuring her face.
"Slow down."
Leng Yue picked up her bag and followed behind, reaching out to help Chen Xiaoxi tuck her hair behind her ear. The moment the hair was pulled aside, their eyes met unexpectedly.
Chen Xiaoxi felt a sudden panic, quickly closed her eyes, and continued to pretend to be drunk.
Leng Yue was slightly taken aback, inwardly cursing, "Damn, this woman is even better at pretending than me. She's faking being drunk on purpose."
Since Chen Xiaoxi wanted to pretend to be drunk, she also pretended not to have noticed anything and followed Lu Qingzhou downstairs.
As Leng Yue went downstairs, she shook her aching arms, and her gaze inadvertently fell on Chen Xiaoxi.
Looking at that curve, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on her lips, and a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes. She suddenly reached out and gently pinched Chen Xiaoxi's buttocks.
The sudden touch made Chen Xiaoxi tremble all over and almost scream out loud.
Lu Qingzhou immediately turned around, her voice full of concern: "What's wrong, Xiaoxi?"
Chen Xiaoxi forced herself to remain calm and mumbled something indistinctly.
Leng Yue waved her hand dismissively: "It's nothing, I guess she was having a nightmare."
Her expression was natural, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, Chen Xiaoxi gritted her teeth and cried out in her heart, "It hurts so much!" If she weren't still pretending to be drunk, she would have jumped down immediately to settle scores with Leng Yue.
He kicked Leng Yue's butt twice. 'Oops, that really hurts!'
