“Who are you looking down on? There’s not even a single bottle left,” Jiang Mian teased him. “You’re like one of those elders in the family group chat, watching those public accounts and video accounts full of rumors every day, and then casually forwarding them to the group. And those things always start with some kind of ‘shocking’ word.”
"I was trying to give you some good advice, and you're deliberately badmouthing me. You don't appreciate my kindness."
"Alright, alright, I know you mean well, so I won't thank you with words. I'll drink this first as a sign of my respect!"
After saying that, Jiang Mian drank another cup.
Song Huaizhi chuckled: "Even when you're thanking others, you don't forget to seek benefits for yourself."
"There's nothing I can do about it; I'm just a sophisticated egoist."
Speaking of drinking, it's true that Jiang Mian was too self-destructive at the time.
Because she was hurt by others' hurtful words, such as being effeminate and not acting like a domineering guy.
Perhaps it was due to my rebellious nature, coupled with my young age at the time, that I was prone to getting stuck on trivial matters.
The more others told her she couldn't do it, the more determined she became to prove herself.
So I thought that to be a domineering man, one should know how to drink.
Gradually, she went from drinking without restraint to drinking to the point of having headaches and getting up in the middle of the night to vomit.

Jiang Mian let out a burp without any decorum. Afterwards, seeing Song Huaizhi staring at her, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry, burping is a normal human behavior, I really couldn't stop it."
"It's alright, do as you please."
Song Huaizhi asked for a glass of water and sat down to watch Jiang Mian eat.
Jiang Mian initially thought it was strange, but after getting used to being looked at, she didn't care anymore.
Even though I have a dining buddy to eat with, the other person won't steal my food. Could there be anything happier than that?
Song Huaizhi watched quietly, perhaps because his social circle was full of superficial appearances.
He actually quite liked the genuine side of others that they involuntarily revealed.
Jiang Mian was almost full when she was about to take out a tissue to wipe her mouth.
Looking up, I realized that the function to check my heart rate was still on.
At this very moment, the "heartbeat value" above Song Huaizhi's head had changed from "78" to "88" without him even realizing it.
It jumped ten points in one go! What kind of incredible speed is this?!
And how could someone be attracted to her while watching her eat so unceremoniously? Does he have some kind of weird fetish?!
Seeing Jiang Mian's increasingly terrified expression, Song Huaizhi was speechless.
