Feng Qingyi said, "I don't think you're that ordinary either. You bought a gaming keyboard for tens of thousands, spend money on fan merchandise, and attend every concert."
"Exactly, and you feast on abalone and sea cucumber every day. You're the biggest spender among us," Qu Jingqiu added.
Shen Hanyue took a sip of red wine and said, "I don't have abalone and sea cucumber every day. It's just occasional. My family runs a small restaurant in the county, and I'll take you there sometime."
"Let's hurry and eat. We'll watch a movie together after," she said.
Shen Hanyue had already chosen the movie for the evening, but plans don't always work out.
Feng Qingyi felt dizzy after just a few sips of red wine. After the meal, she leaned on the chair and stared unblinkingly at Lou Xi across from her.
Lou Xi felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze. "What's wrong with you?"
However, Feng Qingyi remained silent for a long time. Lou Xi was at a loss, as it was her first time seeing someone get drunk from less than half a glass of wine.
Seeing this, Qu Jingqiu suggested, "Why don't we help her upstairs to sleep?"
"She's drunk already? I don't feel anything yet!" Shen Hanyue couldn't understand.
Lou Xi said, "You two take her to her room. I'll clear the table."
Shen Hanyue and Qu Jingqiu took Feng Qingyi to her room, helped her onto the bed, and covered her with a blanket before leaving.
"Her alcohol tolerance is really low. I thought she was quite the drinker with how boldly she drank earlier!"
Shen Hanyue remarked, "But you ladies of wealth and status should be used to Western cuisine and red wine every day. How can she get drunk after just a couple of sips?"
"When have you seen her go to a Western restaurant?" Qu Jingqiu retorted.
Shen Hanyue pondered, "Come to think of it, I haven't. Lou Xi once suggested going to a Western restaurant, but Qingyi said those high-end places weren't suitable for her, so we ended up going for barbecue instead."
"After that, whenever the four of us went out together, we never considered a Western restaurant again."
By the time they returned downstairs, Lou Xi had already cleared the table.
Shen Hanyue checked the time. "Should we stay here tonight or go back to school?"
"Let's stay here. We can wake her up tomorrow," Qu Jingqiu was a bit worried that Feng Qingyi might not be able to get up in the morning.
Lou Xi nodded, "Alright, let's do that."
"Shall we watch the movie now?" Shen Hanyue asked the two.
Qu Jingqiu nodded, "Sure, either way."
Lou Xi had already taken a seat on the sofa.
In the bedroom, the sound of a ringing phone woke Feng Qingyi up. She reached for her phone and answered it.
Qin Yuchuan stared at the white ceiling. "Qingyi, where are you?"
Feng Qingyi answered groggily, "I'm here."
"Were you sleeping?" Her voice sounded like she had just woken up.
Feng Qingyi sat up on the bed. "No, I wasn't sleeping."
"Then what were you doing?" Qin Yuchuan continued to ask.
Feng Qingyi rubbed her head. "I was sleeping."
"...But you just said you weren't sleeping."
Something seemed off. Had something happened?
Feng Qingyi picked up her phone and saw Qin Yuchuan on the screen. "Who are you?"
Qin Yuchuan also saw Feng Qingyi's current state - her disheveled hair, a few strands covering her eyes, and flushed face.
"You don't even recognize me now?"
Feng Qingyi asked in a daze, "Do we know each other?"
"Did you drink alcohol?" Aside from being drunk, he couldn't think of what could have happened to her.
Feng Qingyi shook her head vigorously. "No, I didn't drink any alcohol."
Qin Yuchuan pinched the bridge of his nose. Truly a handful. Drinking alone at home.
"Are you feeling unwell?" he asked.
Feng Qingyi continued shaking her head. "No, no."
Qin Yuchuan said, "Then lie down and sleep. I'll call you in the morning."
"I'm not sleeping. I haven't had class today. I need to go paint," Feng Qingyi started getting up from the bed.
Qin Yuchuan was a bit worried. In her state, she still wanted to paint?
"Good girl, paint tomorrow. Get some rest today."
Feng Qingyi looked at Qin Yuchuan. "Then you have to help me paint. Otherwise, it's not allowed."
"Okay, I'll help you paint. But you need to lie down and sleep now, covered with the blanket."
Feng Qingyi did as instructed, but less than a minute later, she sat up again.
"No, I need to take a shower first."
Qin Yuchuan sighed. If only he were with her now, he wouldn't feel so helpless.
"Take a shower tomorrow. It's already late. You should sleep now..."
After much persuasion, Qin Yuchuan finally got Feng Qingyi to lie down and sleep.
He felt this might be the most difficult situation he had encountered in his life. When she wakes up, he must remind her not to drink alcohol again.
Though she was adorable when drunk, like a child, she was truly hard to pacify.
...
At exactly six o'clock the next morning, Qin Yuchuan called Feng Qingyi with a voice call to wake her up.
Feng Qingyi rubbed her eyes and answered the phone. "It's already six o'clock. You said you'd call me at five."
"...Do you remember what happened last night?"
Feng Qingyi looked at herself and realized she had slept without changing her clothes.
She remembered having dinner with her roommates, but couldn't recall what happened after that.
"Last night, I just had dinner with my friends, and then I slept. Did something else happen?"
She had slept and forgotten everything.
"Did you drink alcohol last night?" Qin Yuchuan asked.
Feng Qingyi remembered the small glass of red wine. She had only taken a couple of sips.
"I had a little bit. How did you know?"
"Don't drink anymore in the future," he said, afraid he wouldn't be able to handle her again.
Feng Qingyi was a bit puzzled. "It was just a little red wine with a low alcohol content. It's even good for beauty and nourishment!"
"So you don't remember what happened after you drank alcohol last night?" Qin Yuchuan asked.
Feng Qingyi pressed her temples, wondering if something had happened that she didn't know about.
"Should I remember something?"
Qin Yuchuan sighed, "It's fine if you don't remember. Just don't touch anything alcohol-related in the future. Your alcohol tolerance isn't great."
She didn't say anything inappropriate to him when she was drunk, did she?
Feng Qingyi checked her phone and found a video call record. How did she manage to answer a video call while drunk?
"Did I say something I shouldn't have to you?"
Qin Yuchuan: "What shouldn't be said?"
"...I don't usually drink, but last night Lou Xi brought a bottle of red wine and said we should all try it, so I had a little bit."
"I really only had a tiny amount, I promise I definitely won't do it again."
It was the first time she realized she had such a low alcohol tolerance!
And why couldn't he just tell her straight out what they had said to each other last night, so she could understand?
