Chapter 37

"Ah? What did this San Pang do to upset you? Maybe he didn't mean it," Liu Meng stuttered, nervously defending San Pang.

"Posting one thread might be accidental, but updating another one is clearly intentional. Hmph, I knew you guys would stick together. Naturally, you boys cover for each other," Liu Ruyi was still fuming, her little face full of anger. "If I find out who this San Pang is, hah, I'll beat him up."

"It's just a joke, no need to take it seriously," Liu Meng tried to comfort her again, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

"You talk too harshly. You always talk about gender equality, but where is it? Can't you stop judging people with a biased eye? Is the standard for judging a girl just her beauty?" Liu Ruyi was still angry, finding these boys despicable.

Suddenly, he thought of the confrontation between the male and female camps he had seen earlier and asked, "Ruyi, could that Ruyi be you?"

"Hmph, who else could it be besides me?" Liu Ruyi proudly puffed out her chest, which was quite well-endowed, and quickly typed a reply.

So that's how it is, he thought, and said with a forced smile, "Didn't you also post a thread called 'Mistakenly Entered a Temple of Monks,' where you belittled a bunch of gay boys? Why are you so angry?"

While saying this, Liu Meng thought, you don't really have any thoughts of gender equality, do you? You're just mocking the engineering school for having too many boys and being overly passionate. But seeing Liu Ruyi's unfriendly face, he didn't dare say it out loud.

"None of your business. You have to support me, stand by me unconditionally," Liu Ruyi said in a stubborn and unreasonable manner, acting like a girl who could be unreasonable just because she was a girl.

"Um..." Liu Meng was speechless. He couldn't lie to his conscience and say too much in favor of the boys, nor could he lower himself as a man to please a little girl. He decided to keep quiet.

"A little later, you have to treat me to a meal. I want to eat a spicy hot pot," Liu Ruyi said with a glare.

"Sure!" Treating her to a meal was easy and didn't involve any issues of principle.

Moreover, spicy hot pot was quite cheap. There were several stalls on the street outside the west gate. The boss would set up a cart with various vegetables, meatballs, and small charcoal pots. You could take what you wanted and pay by the skewer—50 cents for meat and 20 cents for vegetables.

He opened a bottle of beer and asked, "Do you want one?"

"One bottle isn't enough! Are you underestimating me? Five bottles first..." Liu Ruyi waved her hand and said with a bold and generous air.

"This..." Liu Meng was still wary, having recently seen two women get drunk and cause a scene. He didn't want a repeat.

"I know you're not in a good mood, but you can't drown your sorrows in alcohol. If you get drunk, I'll have to take you back, and that would ruin your image," Liu Meng advised.

"Stop talking nonsense. Who knows who will get drunk later," Liu Ruyi said with a sly smile.

"Let's just chug it," Liu Ruyi bit into a meatball, didn't use a bottle opener, and bit the cap off the beer bottle.

This boldness startled Liu Meng, but he didn't back down. He had a good tolerance for beer and had chugged before. He clinked bottles with her and said with a grin, "Alright, let's do it. Don't overdo it. I'll drink a bottle, you drink half."

"Don't give me special treatment," Liu Ruyi said and gulped down half a bottle quickly.

Is Liu Ruyi a bottomless pit? How can she drink so fast? By the time Liu Meng had finished half a bottle, the girl had already finished one. He was amazed. This was too much.

"Alright, alright, just half a bottle. If you get drunk, no one will drink with me," Liu Ruyi said generously, waving her hand.

Liu Meng's tolerance was good. On a good day, he could drink eight or nine bottles of beer. This was the first time he felt so embarrassed, unable to outdrink a girl. He still didn't believe it and touched her forehead, saying, "Are you okay? Do you want me to take you back now?"

His hand was slapped away. "What kind of man are you, being so hesitant? Another one."

Liu Ruyi opened another bottle and gulped it down. Liu Meng hurriedly finished his half bottle, drank too fast, and started coughing.

Liu Ruyi patted his back and scolded, "If you can't drink, don't drink so fast. Take it slow."

Liu Meng smiled bitterly. He felt like he had lost all his dignity. Today, he had met a goddess of alcohol and was truly in awe of this girl.

He exaggerated, using a line from a Stephen Chow movie, "My admiration for you is like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River in flood, once it starts, it can't be stopped."

"Stop flattering me, drink up," the girl scolded.

He had flattered the wrong person.

Not only did she have an astonishing tolerance for alcohol, but her appetite was also amazing. Soon, they had eaten 20 skewers and drunk five bottles of beer, and then ordered ten more.

Liu Meng kept staring at the girl's flat stomach, so obviously that Liu Ruyi noticed and scolded, "What are you looking at? Keep staring and I'll pluck out your eyeballs."

Liu Meng said with a forced smile, "I'm just wondering how you can fit so much in such a flat stomach."

It was indeed strange. Liu Meng had eaten many skewers and drunk two bottles of beer, and he already felt the urge to urinate, but the girl showed no signs of it.

"Heh, you've seen nothing. You haven't seen my dad. He drinks liquor like water, over ten pounds a day."

"Blowing it, right? Drinking ten pounds a day, he'd be dead drunk," Liu Meng didn't believe it. There was a drunkard in his village who drank a pound of liquor every day. Once, he drank two pounds in one go and passed out.

He didn't wake up for a month. His family prepared for his funeral, but he miraculously woke up and immediately started looking for more alcohol.

"You've seen nothing. Some things you wouldn't understand," Liu Ruyi said mysteriously.

"You're just boasting. Bragging doesn't cost anything," Liu Meng didn't believe it but didn't dare say it out loud. He was afraid the girl would go berserk. She had already drunk three bottles, and the fourth was almost finished.

...

Half an hour later.

The ground was littered with empty beer bottles.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be such a drinker. This is the seventh bottle, and you're still standing," Liu Ruyi took another bottle, bit the cap off, and drank it down.

Liu Meng was swaying but still standing, though his tongue was thick. He knew he was done for the day.

He had a good drinking character. When drunk, he just wanted to sleep. He could still manage to walk back to his dorm.

"Don't pretend to be dead. Another one," Liu Ruyi handed him another bottle.

At some point, the girl had ordered five more bottles.

The boss was amazed. They had drunk twenty bottles and eaten over 60 skewers. He was curious how they could fit so much, especially since neither of them was fat.

Liu Ruyi was in a bad mood, so Liu Meng had no choice but to drink with her. He gulped down another bottle, feeling the beer in his throat, determined not to vomit, which would be embarrassing.

He drank two more bottles in fits and starts. After the ninth bottle, Liu Meng was completely out, passing out from dizziness. This was thanks to his recent training; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to drink so much.

Liu Ruyi bit open the last bottle and drank it down, her speed astonishing the boss.

"Boss, the bill!" Liu Ruyi searched Liu Meng's wallet, muttering, "You promised to treat me. Even if you're drunk, you can't welsh on the deal."

The bill came to over 100 yuan for the spicy hot pot. If Liu Meng hadn't been asleep, he would have been shocked.

He had eaten there with his dorm mates before, and it usually cost about ten yuan per person.

Supporting the unconscious Liu Meng, Liu Ruyi's small figure walked briskly. Fortunately, it was nearly midnight, and the campus was deserted, or it would have caused a stir.

The scene was quite odd, like a child pulling a cart.

When they reached Dormitory 7, it was already closed.

Liu Ruyi had to drag Liu Meng to the back gate, looked around to ensure no one was around, and then threw Liu Meng up, jumped, grabbed the second-floor windowsill, and pulled him inside.

She didn't know which room Liu Meng lived in, but as the class life committee member, she had been to the boys' dorm before and had a general idea of the location. She found the third floor but was unsure which room it was.

Fortunately, it was nearly midnight, and most of the boys were asleep. Liu Ruyi hid in the shadows and wasn't seen.

In a hurry, she remembered seeing Liu Meng's accommodation card when she paid the bill. She slapped her forehead and said, "How could I be so stupid?"

She took out the card and saw it was Room 307.

She made sure no one was around, ran to Room 307, knocked on the door, put Liu Meng on the ground, and quickly hid in the shadows.

The action was smooth and fluid.

The dorm leader, who was a night owl, was just lying down, chatting with his high school classmates. Hearing the knock, he got up and opened the door, seeing Liu Meng lying on the ground, snoring softly, and reeking of alcohol.

"Damn, you drank so much. How did you get back?" He dragged Liu Meng inside, finding him too heavy, and called out, "Dongdong, come help. This is the top bunk. How can I get him up there alone?"

Dongdong, half-asleep, mumbled and turned over, going back to sleep.

...

Today, I was out checking and didn't bring my computer. I just got back, and my eyes are tired. I quickly fixed the typos and uploaded it. If there are any typos, please bear with me. I hope for more recommendations, dream votes, and donations.
