"Don't pressure him, he just doesn't have the guts to drink, and he might just slip under the table after one glass." Ouyang Huihui taunted with a peculiar tone, "Come on, I'll toast the three of you, and let's ignore this stingy man. It seems among the four roommates, he's the only one lacking manliness."

As she spoke, Ouyang Huihui poured herself a glass and offered a toast to Cao Jianhui and the other two.

Cao Jianhui forced a glass into Luo Ziling's hand, then picked up his own and clinked it with Ouyang Huihui's, patting his chest and saying loudly, "Thanks for the honor, Huihui. We'll finish this glass."

Wanting to show off his grandeur, he also filled his glass to the brim and downed it in one go.

The other two guys followed suit, filling their glasses and swallowing it all in one gulp.

However, Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang had poor alcohol tolerance. After downing a glass of strong liquor, they both choked and looked quite disheveled.

They quickly grabbed their glasses to drink some water.

After another drink, Ouyang Huihui lifted her empty glass to gesture towards Luo Ziling, and gave a thumbs down.

"Aren't you bored?" Without acknowledging her disdain, Luo Ziling spoke indifferently, "Are you hell-bent on challenging me to a drinking contest? How about each of us takes a bottle and drinks it in one go, how's that?"

"Pfft"—startled by Luo Ziling's words, the other three, who were drinking water, choked again.

In the midst of their choking fit, they dodged instinctively, resulting in everyone except for Wu Longjiang getting sprayed with water.

Cao Jianhui, sitting in the middle, got the worst of it, being sprayed on both sides by the other two guys. Drops of water dripped densely from his face, like pearls falling off a string.

Seeing this ridiculous sight, Ouyang Huihui couldn't help but burst into giggles.

Luo Ziling's three roommates were so amusing, as if they were clowns from a comedy troupe.

But she quickly realized she shouldn't be laughing; she was still competing with Luo Ziling. She forcibly stifled her laughter, then glared at Luo Ziling, asking incredulously, "Are you sure you want each of us to down a whole bottle in one go?"

He was definitely trying to scare her.

"You're allowed to admit defeat!" Luo Ziling retorted scornfully.

"Who's admitting defeat? Who would admit defeat? Who would lose? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Ouyang Huihui huffily snatched the unopened bottle of liquor, "Call the waiter to bring another bottle, and we'll down it in one go."

"Don't pretend to be a hero, you're a woman, no matter how much you pretend, it's fake," Luo Ziling snatched the unopened bottle, popped it open, and with a dismissive glance at the stunned Ouyang Huihui, drank it down like water under the watchful eyes of the now sober trio and Ouyang Huihui. He didn't even take a breath in the process.

Cao Jianhui was shocked; Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang stood with their mouths agape, oblivious to the long strings of drool hanging from their lips.

Eventually, the saliva dripped into the bowls in front of them, mixing with the unfinished Longkou vermicelli.

Ouyang Huihui was naturally surprised, too. She looked at Luo Ziling, then at the empty bottle, and, somewhat in disbelief, snatched the bottle to sniff. She suspected that what was in the bottle wasn't real liquor but plain water.

However, the strong smell of alcohol from the bottle convinced her it was indeed a bottle of high-proof liquor.

Ouyang Huihui couldn't help but mutter to herself that this guy was nuts, actually downing a bottle of high-proof liquor in one gulp without taking a breath. She was a bit frightened by the spectacle. His tolerance for alcohol was just too good, wasn't it?

Of course, she was even more afraid that Luo Ziling would have problems after drinking.

If Luo Ziling had problems after drinking a bottle of liquor, like alcohol poisoning requiring hospitalization, or if an accident occurred or even death due to alcohol poisoning, then Ling Ruonan, after finding out, would definitely fly into a rage again, and might actually make her join him in death.

However, under these circumstances, she couldn't bring herself to express care no matter what, nor did she know how, so she could only stare at Luo Ziling, dumbstruck.

"There's nothing worth making a fuss over, just eat your supper properly," Luo Ziling said lightly and then picked up his bowl again, resuming his meal.

In fact, unnoticed by everyone, before drinking the liquor, Luo Ziling had secretly taken a pill, an antidote to alcohol.

His constitution was already very strong and he would have been able to finish a bottle of liquor without any problem, even without the antidote, but he would have had to drink it slowly.

After taking the self-formulated antidote, he could drink an entire bottle of liquor in one go without any issue.

The antidote was a secret concoction from his grandfather, capable of rapidly breaking down alcohol. After taking one pill, it could counteract at least one catty of pure ethanol.

He certainly wasn't boasting, but rather wanted to suppress Ouyang Huihui to prevent her from causing any more trouble. Many people were already watching them, some even taking pictures with their cellphones. If he didn't suppress Ouyang Huihui, who knew what else this woman might stir up.

"Boss, you're really too awesome," Cao Jianhui said after glancing at Ouyang Huihui. He gave Luo Ziling a thumbs-up, then turned to Ouyang Huihui, "Huihui, just admit defeat. With Ziling's monstrous tolerance, you shouldn't compete with him. Drinking too much is harmful to your health."

Then he quietly asked Luo Ziling, "Boss, are you alright?"

"Hurry up and eat your supper, haven't you noticed all the people watching?" Luo Ziling pointed to the items in the hot pot that were ready to eat, sounding annoyed, "Eat and go, we should head back and sleep."

"Are you really okay?" Cao Jianhui asked uncertainly once more.

"Stop the nonsense and eat!" Luo Ziling chided again.

So Cao Jianhui obediently stopped questioning and focused on eating.

However, while eating, he occasionally glanced at Luo Ziling, observing any changes in his facial expression.

But Luo Ziling appeared completely normal, his complexion just a bit more flushed than usual.

Ouyang Huihui's momentum seemed to have weakened, and there was no reaction from her for quite a while.

However, upon seeing Luo Ziling ignoring her, she suddenly got upset and reached for the other bottle of liquor, which was still two-thirds full, intending to imitate Luo Ziling and drink it in one go. But just as she grabbed the bottle, Luo Ziling snatched it away from her.

"If you want to have supper, then eat properly, and stop causing a scene." Saying this, he tilted his head back and drained the remaining liquor.

This action once again stunned Ouyang Huihui and the other three fools, as well as the onlookers, who were also astonished by Luo Ziling's behavior. Some busybodies had already started uploading pictures of Luo Ziling drinking to the forums, along with captions for context.

"A blaze of anger for a beauty," was the shocking title of the post, and the content was explosive, "The newly popular campus heartthrob, Luo Ziling, in a fit of rage, in front of the favorite for freshman beauty queen and strongest competitor for most beautiful campus flower, Ouyang Huihui, drank two bottles of high-proof liquor in one breath. Will he collapse from drunkenness? Note, he drank it all in one breath, like drinking water, not pausing to breathe in between."

After the post was made, it quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers.
