Chapter 777: Chapter 780: Drinking Contest Chapter 777: Chapter 780: Drinking Contest “You!” A’Liang was at a loss for words, his teeth clenched as he said, “Anyway, please stay away from Liu Yiyi. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

“Is this what you call love?” Xiao Han laughed coldly, then said, “Threatening others with words?”

“You’re nothing but a rich playboy,” A’Liang said, looking at Xiao Han. “I just don’t want Yiyi’s youth to be ruined by people like you.”

“I used to respect you as a man of passion, able to write such good songs, lyrics with such atmosphere,” Xiao Han began by complimenting A’Liang. On hearing this, A’Liang couldn’t help but look proud as he glanced at Xiao Han, his eyebrow raised as if to say, I am that impressive.

However, Xiao Han’s tone shifted as he continued, “But now, I’ve lost respect for you. If you really like Liu Yiyi, go ahead and pursue her. Convince her with your sincerity, your earnestness, and your true feelings. If you move her, if she is willing to go with you, I will step aside without any complaint. However, you threaten others with words and malign them. That makes me look down on you.”

“You!” Xiao Han’s words were incisive, leaving no cracks to exploit. A’Liang was very annoyed; he hadn’t expected to be outmaneuvered by Xiao Han on his own turf. Taking a deep breath, A’Liang said, “Fine, those are your words. I will touch Liu Yiyi’s heart with my sincere actions and true feelings. I just hope you’ll let go gracefully when the time comes.”

“No problem!” Xiao Han nodded. “I love Yiyi, I love her, so I will give her the greatest happiness. If someone else can offer her more, why wouldn’t I let go?”

After being addressed this way by Xiao Han, A’Liang suddenly felt like he was the villain.

“Hmph!” A’Liang snorted coldly.

Liu Yiyi had been clinging to Xiao Han’s arm all along, like a delicate bird relying on him, looking every bit the obedient girl. But within her heart, there lurked a burning passion.

A’Liang sat down next to Xiao Mei and seeing her boyfriend drunk, asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

“He had a drinking contest with him,” Xiao Mei said, pointing to Xiao Han nearby.

Seeing Xiao Han appearing unaffected, A’Liang grew curious and challenged, “Come on, I’ll drink a bottle with you too. Do you dare?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Xiao Han retorted. “Let’s do it!”

“That guy already drank one bottle, another round with you, that’s hardly fair, isn’t it?” A’Ya quickly asked.

“Doesn’t matter!” Xiao Han shook his head.

Immediately after, the waiter brought over two bottles of 54-degree baijiu. A’Liang had wanted to get drunk to begin with, and seeing the woman he loved arm in arm with another man, nestled in another man’s embrace, he felt extremely displeased.

After just a few sips, A’Liang choked, mainly because he drank too quickly.

“Slow down!” Xiao Mei hurriedly said.

With a heart set on getting drunk, A’Liang kept pouring alcohol into his stomach. Many onlookers felt pained for him.

“He can’t handle his liquor,” the drummer of the band said anxiously.

“Right!” The bass player nodded hurriedly. “He doesn’t drink, now we’re in trouble.”

A bottle down, A’Liang was slurring his words. Slightly inebriated, he looked at Xiao Han and asked, “You… why aren’t you drinking?”

“I am drinking!” Xiao Han nodded.

“Don’t…” Liu Yiyi quickly pulled Xiao Han’s hand. “You just drank a whole bottle, you’re drinking more?”

Xiao Han smiled and then said, “If someone gives me a toast, how can I refuse? Don’t worry, I can’t get drunk.”

After saying that, Xiao Han tilted his head back and guzzled down the drink.

Gulping noises ensued as Xiao Han drank as if it were water. In a flash, he had finished the drink completely.

“Incredible!” The crowd watched Xiao Han in astonishment.

There were many who could drink two jin of liquor, but to see someone like Xiao Han drink it so quickly and remain completely unaffected was truly astounding.

Bang…

Xiao Han tossed the empty bottle onto the table, and the qi within him quickly absorbed all the alcohol he had ingested. His face remained unflushed, his heart steady, with not a single sign of intoxication. The corners of his mouth lifted into a slight smile.

“How’s that?” Xiao Han sneered.

A’Liang, not well-versed in drinking, suddenly consumed a full jin of baijiu and started foaming at the mouth,
“Oh no!”

“It’s finished, A’Liang has alcohol poisoning!”

People were terrified. The band members immediately lifted A’Liang and ran outside. As they ran, they started making emergency calls. The bar erupted into chaos as everyone was startled by the scene.

“Let’s go,” Xiao Han said, wrapping his arm around Liu Yiyi. “The farce is over.”

“Ah…” Liu Yiyi anxiously asked, “Xiao Han, he… he is okay, right?”

“Don’t worry, he’s fine,” Xiao Han shook his head, then said, “Once he reaches the hospital, he’ll be okay. So, you can rest easy.”

“Hmm!” Liu Yiyi sighed with relief upon hearing this.

The two stepped out of the bar, and Liu Yiyi was feeling much lighter. She was glad the issue was resolved, but was displeased by the fact that Xiao Han had agreed to let A’Liang pursue her. Didn’t he know that she had no feelings for A’Liang whatsoever?

Liu Yiyi pouted her red lips and was downcast all the way.

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Han took her hand.

“Why did you say those things to him just now?” Liu Yiyi asked.

“Which things?” Xiao Han asked.

“You even told him to pursue me in the future?” Liu Yiyi suddenly looked at Xiao Han, clearly displeased.

“Silly girl.” Xiao Han laughed, and said, “Whether he pursues you or not in the future, I can’t dictate that. If he truly loves you, how could he give up so easily? If he’s just looking for a fling, naturally he won’t be interested in continuing the pursuit.”

“Really?” Liu Yiyi blinked and looked at Xiao Han, then said, “But what if he really keeps pursuing me? What should I do then?”

“It’s perfectly normal for a girl to have admirers,” Xiao Han laughed and said, “Wouldn’t you feel inferior if you didn’t have anyone courting you at all? Every pretty, charming girl has a bunch of loyal admirers. Right?”

“Heehee…” Liu Yiyi giggled and said, “There are quite a few people chasing after this young lady.”

“Of course, who could resist our Yiyi’s natural beauty?” Xiao Han laughed again and then added, “It’s normal to have people chase after you. I’m not jealous!”

“Aren’t you afraid of someone whisking me away?” Liu Yiyi suddenly asked curiously.

“If someone really manages to whisk you away, I’d actually be happy!” Xiao Han said seriously.

“Why?” Liu Yiyi looked puzzled.

“Because…” Xiao Han laughed and then explained, “at least it means someone is more deserving of your love than I am, and he can give you more happiness.”

Touched by his words, Liu Yiyi felt even more moved.

“You!” Liu Yiyi pursed her lips and said, “Are you really willing to just watch me go off with someone else?”

“Deep down, I of course wouldn’t want that, after all, having a girlfriend as beautiful as you is something to be proud of, something cool,” Xiao Han laughed and said, “But rationally speaking, if there’s a man who’s worth leaving me for, it means he’s better, more excellent than I am. If there’s someone better and more excellent than I am, why would I stop you?”

“Sigh…” Snuggling into Xiao Han’s embrace, Liu Yiyi said, “Don’t you know that women don’t need all this rational analysis? I just need… your kiss!”

Liu Yiyi looked up at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han gently tasted her red lips, but restrained himself from more.

“Let’s get going,” Xiao Han said.

“Okay!” Liu Yiyi nodded.

Liu Yiyi drove Xiao Han back to the university, then drove home alone.

The surroundings were quite dark, Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, originally planning to return to his dorm. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Xiao Han, are you looking for me?” A gentle female voice came through the other end of the phone.

“Sis, do you…” Xiao Han chuckled, then asked, “Do you have a spare room?”

“Sure,” Li Xiaoya heard him and laughed, “Why don’t you stay at my place?”

“Would that be okay?” Upon hearing this, Xiao Han felt a hint of seduction in her voice.

“What’s wrong with that?” Li Xiaoya replied, and then said, “Where are you? I’ll come and pick you up, I just got off work.”

“Ah…” Xiao Han said sheepishly, “I’m… I’m at the university gate.”

“Wait for me, I’ll be there soon,” Li Xiaoya said.

Xiao Han stood at the university gate waiting after hanging up the phone.

At Huihong Group.

Li Xiaoya was busy in her office; after hanging up the phone, she immediately stood up.

“Director Li…” The secretary hurriedly approached her.

“Finish up the rest of the work for me,” Li Xiaoya glanced at him and said, “I’ve essentially completed the main tasks; the remainder just needs some minor fixes. I have something urgent; I’m leaving now.”

“Okay,” the secretary nodded.

Li Xiaoya glanced at the time; it was already nine thirty.

She hadn’t expected to work so late today, and hurriedly said, “Actually, don’t rush with the work; go and rest. It’s already so late.”

“Alright!” The secretary nodded.

Li Xiaoya quickly grabbed her bag and hurried out.

Work wasn’t finished, but Xiao Han was waiting for her, so Li Xiaoya immediately put her work aside. She wasn’t sure when it started, but she began to long for Xiao Han. She had always forcefully suppressed this longing in the depths of her heart as if it were a caged wild beast. Now, it seemed like this beast was awakening, and once awoken, it would be unstoppable.

She had intended to gradually forget Xiao Han, but his single phone call made her eager to see him.

Her car sped on, her longing heart as if it had sprouted wings and flown away.

Outside Shuimu University.

A black BMW car pulled up in front of Xiao Han.
