However, what they didn't know was that Lin Chen had an amazing resistance to alcohol. Every time he went to the toilet, he would cleverly expel a portion of the alcohol from his body, so how could he possibly get drunk so easily?
As the alcohol took effect, the others began to speak more freely, especially Cai Xiaokun. After getting drunk, he started dancing on the table, even taking off his clothes as he danced! Instead of stopping him, the others cheered him on, creating a very lively scene.
Ding Jiaying had already drunk a whole case of liquor, her face as red as an apple, not much better off than Cai Xiaokun. But she still staggered over to Lin Chen, wanting to have a drinking contest with him.
"Come on, you rascal, drink! Now that you're gone, I won't have to deal with you getting on my nerves every day." Ding Jiaying said, then downed her drink in one gulp. However, as the alcohol took effect, her voice began to sound somewhat off.
Lin Chen gazed at her, gently flicked her brow with his finger, and smiled, "Do you really hate me that much? If so, I'll be so heartbroken." As he spoke, he clutched his chest, feigning sadness.
Driven by alcohol, Ding Jiaying grew bolder: "Tch, why are you sad? Don't tell me you don't have a woman. Humph, I can smell other women on you. Why are you still bothering me? Do you want to have a group activity?" After saying that, she actually grabbed Lin Chen's hand and bit it hard.
"Hey! Are you a dog? What's wrong with group sex? Count me in!" Lin Chen retorted without backing down, pinching Ding Jiaying's nose hard.
At this moment, Liu Tiantian walked over, raised her glass to Lin Chen and said, "Brother Lin Chen, let me toast you again. Without Brother Lin Chen, there would be no Liu Tiantian today."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Wow, this is a toast from my most beautiful Tian Tian! I absolutely have to drink it." He then downed his drink in one gulp. Hearing Lin Chen call her "the most beautiful Tian Tian," Liu Tian Tian felt a surge of sweetness in her heart, her eyes sparkling with happiness. She recalled the night she and Lin Chen spent in the small hotel near Haizhou University, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Tian Tian and Jia Ying, you two are so beautiful! You are the most beautiful women in the world!" Although Lin Chen wasn't drunk, he deliberately pretended to be tipsy to blend in, and his speech became more casual. His time with Su Yanan and the trials of society had made Lin Chen's personality more cheerful and carefree.
Hearing Lin Chen's praise, Liu Tiantian felt even sweeter inside. She looked at Lin Chen with a happy smile. However, Lin Chen felt he had drunk enough and couldn't continue. He himself was fine, but he worried that these people might harm their health from excessive drinking.
So he stood up, pretending to stagger, and said, "I think everyone should stop drinking; it's too late. Let's go back to sleep; there are enough rooms here." With that, he pretended to be drunk and walked upstairs, leaving a group of friends downstairs to continue enjoying their rare time together.
Seeing this, Ding Jiaying and Liu Tiantian quickly stepped forward and steadily supported Lin Chen, who seemed about to collapse. Although Ding Jiaying had also drunk quite a bit, she swayed as she stood up and almost fell, but fortunately Liu Tiantian took her place in time.
Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and naturally placed his hands on their shoulders. The reason he didn't refuse was because he had long harbored feelings for these two beautiful young women, and now he decided to go with the flow and pretend to be drunk to the end.
"Thank you, Tian Tian and Jia Ying." Lin Chen whispered softly, his lips close to Liu Tian Tian and Ding Jia Ying's ears. His warm breath gently brushed against their earlobes, causing their cheeks to flush red, a blush that could be due to shyness or the effects of alcohol.
"Wow, Tian Tian, you're so proactive today!" Ding Jiaying, her cheeks flushed from drinking, teased Liu Tian Tian, who was supporting Lin Chen. As artists, they were in the prime of their youth, full of longing for romance.
Lin Chen is successful in his career, has a good character, and is exceptionally handsome—undoubtedly their ideal partner. Of course, this doesn't mean they've fallen in love with him; they've only developed a liking for him. Unless… they already share a deep, unspoken connection.
Liu Tiantian didn't dare turn around to face her sisters at this moment, and just focused on supporting Lin Chen. Soon, the three of them arrived at the master bedroom. Lin Chen was slumped on the bed. Although Liu Tiantian and Ding Jiaying were also dizzy, they still insisted on taking off Lin Chen's shoes and coat.
Because Lin Chen was "drunk," the two inevitably had physical contact while tidying his clothes, and sometimes Lin Chen's arm would inadvertently touch their sensitive areas. This made both of them feel somewhat embarrassed and shy, while Lin Chen was even more tormented, not knowing how much longer he had to "pretend to be asleep."
After finally settling Lin Chen in, Liu Tiantian and Ding Jiaying were exhausted. Liu Tiantian simply lay down next to Lin Chen, recalling how a few months ago she was a rebellious girl with tattoos and a smoker. It was Lin Chen who spent a night with her in a small hotel near Haizhou University, thus completely changing the trajectory of her life.
Looking back now, it all seems like a dream.
"Hey, Tian Tian, you're not thinking of taking advantage of our president's drunkenness to do something unilaterally, are you?" Ding Jiaying teased, seeing through Liu Tian Tian's thoughts.
"No, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Tiantian blushed. Although she was filled with longing, she still didn't dare to take that step easily.
As Lin Chen left, the party gradually drew to a close. Late at night, Ding Jiaying lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Although she had drunk quite a bit, she had taken hangover medication and vomited for a while, so her mind was unusually clear at this moment.
However, it was precisely because of this clarity that Lin Chen's image kept appearing in her mind. She didn't know what kind of feelings she had for Lin Chen. Was it love? Probably not. She just thought he was very good and outstanding. When she saw Lin Chen and Liu Tiantian playing carefree together, a strange jealousy would well up in her heart.
This emotion made her feel somewhat frantic, even confused. Perhaps it was just because Lin Chen had once saved her, and she felt grateful to him? Ding Jiaying shook her head, trying to shake off these chaotic thoughts.
However, when she thought about Lin Chen leaving Lu Tiancheng soon to travel far away with Liu Tiantian, she couldn't help but feel a strange sense of loss.
