Chen Fan’s words were directed at Wei Bingying.
The reason was simple: Wei Bingying was sitting beside him, and she was moving closer and closer.
Some words, hidden in the heart for too long, must eventually be spoken.
Fueled by a touch of alcohol, he didn't care who heard him.
Wei Bingying met Chen Fan’s eyes and suddenly seemed a little lost.
In those still clear eyes, there was too much that she couldn’t understand.
Those things made her anxious, made her pity him, and made her desperately want to understand.
But at this moment, the wine was poured again.
Chen Fan didn't pay any more attention to Lu Liang. He picked up the wine bowl and steadily drank it down in one go.
Lu Liang opposite him felt even more intimidated.
He wasn't afraid of drinking; he could drink all day without any issue, without getting drunk.
But this way of drinking, he couldn't handle it.
Like his brother Lu Dong, this drinking was too rapid, the alcohol couldn’t dissipate, and there was no way to digest it.
His expression was a little hesitant.
"What are you waiting for?"
Han Tong sneered, "Are you trying to stall for time? Aren't all three of you Lu brothers immune to a thousand cups? If you're scared, just admit defeat and get lost!"
Yang Di also frowned and said, "Lu Liang, this guy has drunk at least seven or eight jin. Just take him down and it's done!"
Lu Liang smiled wryly, picked up the bowl, and drank it down in one gulp.
The drink was too strong, and he immediately felt the alcohol taking effect.
Even that was fine, but he felt the wine churning in his stomach, bringing extreme discomfort.
Damn it, was this even drinking? It was more like pouring wine directly into his stomach.
Chen Fan still hadn't looked at him, as if he didn't exist. He said to Wei Bingying, who was continuing to pour wine, "That's why I don't like drinking!"
"Brother Jiao, can you tell me about your time in the army?"
Wei Bingying asked.
Chen Fan shook his head and said, "You wouldn't like to hear it. Some things are top secret!"
Wei Bingying couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Brother, you must have suffered a lot all these years, right?"
Chen Xing'er also sat down, a hint of sadness and pity in her eyes.
Before, she always resented Chen Fan for leaving and never returning, for forgetting even his sister, as if she meant nothing to him.
But recently, she had indirectly learned some things from the old man, and combined with Chen Fan's words just now, she suddenly began to understand.
Her brother's experiences were definitely not as simple as she had originally thought.
Chen Fan smiled, "What's suffering? It's just the easiest thing in the world."
He picked up the wine bowl and drank it down again, not a drop spilled.
The girls from the supercar circle gathered around, cheering and listening to Chen Fan express his sentiments.
In their eyes, there was only curiosity and admiration.
This extraordinary man possessed a charm that was extremely attractive to them, like an aphrodisiac.
Over there, Yang Di's face grew darker and darker.
Damn it, this guy was drinking and chatting with girls at the same time. This made him, who had been eagerly anticipating humiliating Han Tong, feel even worse.
And he couldn't find any fault with Chen Fan, because Chen Fan was both drinking and talking without missing a beat, while Lu Liang was drinking much slower.
Lu Liang spilled a lot of wine, and when he finished, his face turned flushed.
Chen Fan continued to talk with Wei Bingying and Chen Xing'er, and drank his third bowl.
After Lu Liang finished his third bowl, he gritted his teeth and endured.
After drinking his fourth bowl, his body swayed, and his eyes became hazy.
After the fifth bowl, Chen Fan's expression was still calm, with only a slight hint of intoxication in his eyes.
After finishing this bowl, Lu Liang tilted his head and rolled onto the ground, spitting uncontrollably.
Yang Di’s face fell.
The wine was poured again. Chen Fan looked at Yang Di and said, "Anyone else?"
The girls from the supercar circle cheered, with all sorts of mockery and ridicule.
Looking at the large sea bowl, which was much bigger than a regular serving bowl, the remaining people on Yang Di's side quietly moved back.
Even the Lu brothers, who grew up practically swimming in wine, couldn't handle it. They didn't need to go up and humiliate themselves further.
After all, most of them would have thrown up after just one bowl.
"What's wrong, Yang Di, are you still not convinced? Why don't you go yourself? If you can drink three bowls, I'll pay the bill tonight!"
Han Tong raised his eyebrows triumphantly and said to Yang Di with a smile.
Yang Di's expression was uncertain. He stared at Chen Fan and said, "He can just drink, what's there to be proud of?"
"We are proud!"
Han Tong laughed heartily, "Yang Di, I'll give your words back to you. Your unhappiness is my greatest joy."
"Aren't you very impressive? Look at you now, haha, your face is darker than soy sauce. This is good, it makes you look less sinister. Although I still want to punch you!"
"Let's go!"
Yang Di looked at the few people left on his side who could still drink a bit. He cast a hateful glance at Chen Fan and decided to give up on the idea of getting Chen Fan drunk.
Chen Fan's expression was still clear, completely unaware of his limit.
He said, "This kind of drinking is just a waste of food!"
"Haha, I like wasting, it's your money being wasted anyway. Also, Yang Di, I really like how stubborn you are!"
Han Tong laughed loudly, "You clearly hate me to the core, but you can't do anything about it. The more you are like this, the more excited I get. Scram with your tail between your legs, and remember to pay the bill. Leave a deposit, my brother isn't finished drinking yet, and we still want to drink."
"That's right, Young Master Yang, have a good trip, don't let the door hit you on the way out!"
"Get lost, and don't come to Zero Point Bar next time. This is our base!"
"Haha, telling you to be arrogant, and now you're still scurrying away in disgrace, asking for humiliation?"
"If you want to ruin our fun, you're not good enough. You're just acting like clowns to liven up our carnival?"
"..."
The second-generation rich kids from the supercar circle, though many were tipsy and couldn't drink anymore, still had many who were conscious and unceremoniously mocked and ridiculed.
The girls also cheered along, jeering at the people from the luxury watch circle like Yang Di.
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, you guys stay and keep drinking with us!"
A young master from the supercar circle remembered something and shouted loudly.
Yu Xiaoxiao and the other two women hesitated at the mention.
Yang Di was so angry he wanted to spit blood. He threw a bank card to a subordinate to pay the bill, ignored Yu Xiaoxiao, and walked out of the bar.
Yu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but still followed him out. However, the other two girls chose to stay.
The cheers in the bar seemed to threaten to bring down the entire building.
"Brother Jiao, you're amazing!"
"Brother Jiao, you're my idol. I'll accompany you tonight, no matter what you want to do!"
"Brother, you're not just a car god, you're also a wine immortal. My admiration and respect for you are like a never-ending river!"
"..."
The drunken crowd gathered around, speaking one after another.
Chen Fan, however, picked up his bowl and said, "Who else wants to drink?"
At this, many people felt their stomachs churning and the urge to vomit. They quickly shook their heads.
"Brother, I'll have a few more drinks with you!"
Han Tong looked at Chen Fan with admiration and turned to say, "Do what you need to do. Those who want to continue the party, party on. Those who want to go home, go home. My brother and I will be drinking for a while longer, so don't disturb us!"
The crowd slightly parted, but they still kept their eyes on Chen Fan.
Wei Bingying took a wine glass, poured a bowl of Erguotou, and said, "Brother Jiao, I'll drink with you too!"
"Hey, you there, go get some food, some barbecue!"
Chen Xing'er, thoughtful as ever, called someone over and instructed them.
Without an opponent, Chen Fan didn't mind. He picked up the bowl, took a slow sip, and put it down, saying, "Alright, if you don't mind, I'll have a little more."
Wei Bingying, with a flushed face, raised her glass and said, "Brother Jiao, I toast you. Do you have a girlfriend?"
She looked at him with anticipation.
Chen Fan nodded, took a large gulp, and said, "Yes!"
Thinking of Su Yingxue, a hint of bitterness touched his lips. He said, "But she's not here."
Wei Bingying froze for a moment, feeling a sense of loss and disappointment in her heart.
She didn't hide her feelings, and with the courage of alcohol, she said, "What a pity. It seems I have no chance. Your girlfriend must be no ordinary person. I wish I could take her place!"
