The two of them chatted a bit more, and Zuo Fugui pleaded earnestly with Lu Nanchen, but in the end, he didn’t drag him out and left him alone in the dormitory while he went off to play, taking advantage of the fact that it wasn’t completely dark yet.
By the time Zuo Fugui had left, it was already eight o’clock. Lu Nanchen sat in his chair, gazing deeply at the pile of books in front of him.
Then he got up, picked up a few books in one hand, and returned to his desk.
Click.
The desk lamp was switched on, filling the room with a warm yellow glow that added a touch of homeliness.
Lu Nanchen placed the syllabus to one side and then, with a serious expression, picked up a romance novel, sitting upright with a straight back as he began to read.
Reading is a remedy for ignorance.
He thought he could learn.
...
On the other side.
It’s half past eleven at night in the bar.
Yu Ting, who had been wandering around all day, met up with Ning Xuan at a pre-arranged place, and then together they went to the bar.
Walking side by side with Ning Xuan, against the colorful neon lights, they entered the noisy room.
After finding a table in a secluded corner of the hall, the waiter began to serve drinks intermittently. The glass table in front of the two was filled with bottles of all shapes and colors — all hard liquors.
The loud DJ music filled the hall. People danced and drank with abandon under the dim colored lights, releasing all the day’s fatigue into the night.
Jiangqi City at night was a city full of dreams.
Ning Xuan glanced at the alcohol percentages on the bottles. None of them were below 20 degrees. She then looked at Yu Ting.
Um.
Can the Southern girl hold her liquor?
"You sure about this? Don’t hurt yourself by getting drunk." Ning Xuan advised, sensing that something was off with Yu Ting today. Very off.
She seemed to be burdened with worries.
"I’m sure, it’s okay, come on." Yu Ting took off the cap, picked up a bottle, and poured it into a glass. The red wine, full of allure even under the dim light, was then downed in one gulp.
The strong liquor burned her throat, making Yu Ting wince in pain.
Physical pain to numb the discomfort in her heart.
Having an idea of what was going on, instead of Yu Ting, Ning Xuan casually opened a bottle of wine. She took a few obligatory sips, but kept her eyes on Yu Ting the entire time, afraid she might get herself into trouble.
"Drink less, too much liquor can damage your health."
Seeing Yu Ting gulping down drinks, her face twisted with the bitterness of the strong alcohol, Ning Xuan advised.
"My mom always told me there’s nothing in life you can’t get over. Just let it go." Ning Xuan tried to comfort Yu Ting as she spoke, preparing to stop her from drinking more.
But evidently, Yu Ting’s tolerance for alcohol was amazingly low. After just a few high-alcohol-content drinks, her cheeks began to turn red, her eyes started to glaze, and her expression was irritable.
"Exactly, it’s fucking outrageous!"
Ning Xuan: ?
My God, she’s drunk already after just a few minutes?
What?
"Yes, yes, yes." Ning Xuan, feeling a bit of a headache, began trying to take the glass from Yu Ting’s hand, thinking my mom told me some people can’t hold their liquor, but this is ridiculous.
If the last time Yu Ting got drunk she wanted to sleep, this time she was clearly drunk and furious, full of frustrations with no outlet.
"That idiot even humiliated me with 20 million. Tui, as if she’s on my level. Did I say anything when I bought land for a few hundred million to grow vegetables?" Yu Ting said, gesturing with three fingers.
"I don’t even want to give that imbecile a penny. Otherwise, I would have slapped her with my bank card a long time ago."
"Once I have money, I will buy her company and tear it down to plant more vegetables! I’ll hire her to plow the fields!"
Ning Xuan: ...
"Trying to steal my man with her?"
