Chapter 28

Jin Xiaoli's eyes darted around, and she thought to herself: Finally, he's showing his true colors. Let's see how he handles this. She said aloud, "So what? It all depends on his own awareness."

Wang Bo decisively said, "Alright! I'll punish myself with a cup!" After saying that, he didn't wait for her to speak and finished his fifth cup of alcohol, then refilled it again, "President Jin, is this enough of a toast for you?"

"That's more like it," Jin Xiaoli smiled contentedly and drank the beverage in her cup. Wang Bo followed closely, finishing his sixth cup. By this time, the second bottle of alcohol was almost empty, and there wasn't enough to fill a cup.

Wang Bo originally planned to drink slowly, but when he saw Jin Xiaoli finish the last of the bottle, she waved to the waiter and held up two fingers, "Bring two more bottles of alcohol."

Liu Yan pulled her aside, "No need, two bottles are already a lot."

Jin Xiaoli said, "Can't help it, Yu Jia and the others haven't toasted yet. We can't show favoritism, right, Wang Bo?"

"Bring them on," Wang Bo's head was already buzzing, and he didn't want to argue with her. He knew he wouldn't be able to leave unless he drank well. This was the first time he realized how difficult it was to deal with a beautiful woman at a drinking table.

Before the alcohol arrived, Lu Lu said calmly, "Wang Bo, I'll toast you, just this cup, no need to fill it up."

Jin Xiaoli was eating and didn't comment. Wang Bo gave Lu Lu a grateful look and clinked glasses with her, drinking the toast.

After a short while, the alcohol arrived. Yu Jia didn't rush to complete her toasting task but kindly advised Wang Bo to rest and eat more food.

Everyone ate for a while, then chatted a bit. Jin Xiaoli casually asked, "Lu Lu, did you watch the performance today? What do you think of Wang Bo?"

Her question was ambiguous, whether she was asking about Wang Bo as a person or his performance, it depended on how one interpreted it.

Lu Lu replied calmly, "He did well, the music was good, it was nice."

"Thanks for the compliment," Jin Xiaoli smiled and turned her head, "Wang Bo, Lu Lu is praising you, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

What else could he do? Drink, of course. Wang Bo was already in the mood for drinking and said cheerfully, "Of course, of course, Lu Lu, let's have a toast!"

Another cup of alcohol went down, and after this cup, he took a deep breath and exhaled, trying to suppress the alcohol. He looked like he was about to give in.

The four girls all noticed, and Jin Xiaoli had a half-smile on her face. Lu Lu met her gaze, and there was a warning in her eyes. At least that's how Jin Xiaoli interpreted it. She thought to herself: Hmph, if I don't push you to the limit, how will Yan understand the urgency of the situation?

Ever since she found out her good friend had a crush on Wang Bo, she decided to help them get together. But Liu Yan's attitude towards Wang Bo was lukewarm, which made her anxious.

"Yu Jia," Jin Xiaoli called out, "You're the last one, you know what to do."

The class leader turned to look at Wang Bo and asked, "Are you okay? Do you need a break?"

Wang Bo waved his hand, "No, I'm fine. Let's have a toast."

After this cup, Wang Bo's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was flushed. He started serving everyone, saying, "Sorry for the poor hospitality, we haven't touched much of the food. Don't be shy, everyone."

Jin Xiaoli smiled and said while eating, "Wang Bo, you've had two toasts with us, but only one with Yu Jia. That's not fair."

Now, even her voice made Wang Bo nervous. Hearing this, his scalp tingled, and he silently vowed: Damn, I'll get you back for this.

Today, he had to accept it. After all, she had helped him, and he couldn't be ungrateful.

"Right, right," Wang Bo slurred, "I forgot, I forgot." He refilled his cup and poured a drink for Yu Jia, then said, "Let's have another toast, Secretary Yu, thank you for your support, thank you."

Just as he was about to drink, Lu Lu said coldly, "No drinking!"

Wang Bo was struggling internally. Drinking fast made him drunk quickly, and he was afraid he would vomit after this cup. Hearing the command, he subconsciously obeyed, holding the cup and staring blankly, then blinking, "What? Is there a rule?"

He thought Lu Lu would also pile on, but she stood up, walked to his side, and took the cup, saying, "Jia, he'll be drunk if he drinks more. I'll drink this cup for him."

She clinked glasses and drank the cup of alcohol boldly, though she choked a few times, she didn't leave a drop. After finishing, she slammed the cup on the table and said, "Jin Xiaoli, don't bully Wang Bo just because he's honest. He won't fight back, but I won't stand by and watch."

Jin Xiaoli asked curiously, "Hey, what gives you the right to interfere?"

Lu Lu walked back to her seat and said casually, "Because I'm his woman." She said it so matter-of-factly, as if it wasn't about herself at all.

"What?" Jin Xiaoli exclaimed, "You and him? The two of you?"

"So what? Do you have a problem with it?" Lu Lu retorted, "If you mess with him, you mess with me. No matter how much you've helped him, I won't let you do this! Got it?"

Yu Jia thought: Chaos, chaos, this time Sixth Lady has lost her mind and completely lost it! She even said such things, how will she clean up the mess?

Lu Lu's name sounded like "six," and she was the sixth in the dorm, known for her surprising actions, so she had a nickname: Sixth Lady!

Liu Yan was also shocked, looking back and forth between Lu Lu and Wang Bo with a complex expression, unsure of what she was thinking.

Jin Xiaoli was both pleased and worried: This is bad, I didn't expect this woman to be so fierce, a spark and she's on fire. The effect exceeded my expectations. But her words were clearly a bluff, looking at Wang Bo's dumbfounded face, he was even more surprised than the others!

Wang Bo was silent, his mouth half-open, like a fool. He had been in this state since Lu Lu took the cup. After a long while, he muttered, "I'll go to the bathroom."

Hey, this guy is running away.

He wobbled to the bathroom, his mind full of Lu Lu's words and actions. He wondered what she meant. She usually treated him poorly, rolling her eyes at him, so why did she stand up for him now? What was going on? Could this woman really have a sense of justice, unable to tolerate injustice? But there was no need to say such things, right? The rumors had just been suppressed!

Wang Bo washed his face to clear his head, then went to the counter to pay the bill. He was afraid that if he continued drinking, he wouldn't have the presence of mind to pay.

Back at the table, Wang Bo felt the atmosphere was still tense. No one was talking or eating. He forced a smile and said, "How about we call it a day? The food is all here."

"What's the rush?" Lu Lu said, "The food is all here, but we've only eaten half. Jin Xiaoli, you ordered the alcohol, and there's still more than a bottle left. Wang Bo can't drink anymore, what do you suggest?"

Wang Bo whispered, "Actually, I'm still okay."

"Shut up," Lu Lu said coldly, staring at Jin Xiaoli for her response.

"I have no objections. Since you can make decisions for him, let's go with your suggestion," Jin Xiaoli said, not forgetting to jab at her.

Lu Lu finished her drink and said, "Alright, I won't let you off easy. The remaining alcohol, we'll split it."

Jin Xiaoli was taken aback, expecting her to force her to finish the alcohol before leaving, but she was being fair. So Jin Xiaoli silently finished her drink, picked up the bottle, and started pouring. Lu Lu took the other bottle and filled her own cup.

The dinner continued, and under everyone's watchful eyes, Jin Xiaoli and Lu Lu took turns drinking, finishing the remaining one and a half bottles of alcohol. *Clunk, clunk!* Their cups hit the table almost simultaneously, and Wang Bo couldn't help but shudder, thinking, What are these two women doing, like needles against wheat? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have invited them to dinner. Not only did I not enjoy the food, but I also got drunk. What was the point?

After the alcohol was finished, Yu Jia said, "Well, I'm full. How about we call it a day? Liu Yan, what do you think?" She gave Liu Yan a meaningful look. Both of their friends had drunk a lot, and if they continued, there might be a fight. They needed to get them back.

"I'm full too, let's go, Lili," Liu Yan said, helping Jin Xiaoli up and turning to Wang Bo, "Thanks for the dinner, we'll leave first. See you."

Jin Xiaoli, feeling dizzy and weak from the alcohol, didn't resist and obediently left with her.

After they left, Yu Jia also stood up, helping Lu Lu, "Let's go, we should head back to the dorm."

Lu Lu gently shook off her hand, "I'm not leaving, you go back. I need to talk to Wang Bo."

"But you've had alcohol..." Yu Jia said worriedly.

"It's fine," Lu Lu's face looked no different from before drinking, and she seemed quite clear-headed, "He'll take me back. Go back, let me stay with him for a while."

She was in a bad mood, and Yu Jia knew it was no use trying to persuade her. She only reminded Wang Bo, "Take her back later, don't be too late. The dorm closes at nine." Then she exchanged phone numbers with him, telling him to call if anything happened.

Wang Bo nodded, "Got it, don't worry."

After Yu Jia left, Lu Lu sat down, moving closer to Wang Bo. She tilted her head and looked at him for a long time before asking, "Are you stupid?"

"What? Why do you ask?"

"Can't drink but still drink, are you stupid?" she asked again.

"How do you know I can't drink?" Wang Bo said, trying to be tough, but the alcohol was starting to hit him, and he couldn't handle the provocation.

"Can you really drink?" Lu Lu asked mockingly, then said, "Fine, if you can drink, I'll drink with you. You drink as much as you want, and I'll match you."

Wang Bo thought: She's just a woman, and she's already had more than half a bottle. She must be close to her limit. Hmph, am I afraid of her?

So he waved to the waiter to bring more alcohol. The waiter reminded him that he had already paid, and he was about to get angry when Lu Lu pulled him up, "Let's go, silly. We don't have to drink here."
