"Luo Ziling, what are you doing?" Ouyang Huihui was so anxious she was nearly in tears. She already knew that Luo Ziling could handle his liquor well, but no one with good tolerance could possibly drink nearly two bottles of strong baijiu in one go.

If anything really happened to him, not only would she be doomed, but the entire Ouyang Family would be in trouble, and it wouldn't just be a small mishap.

Although she wasn't fully aware of Ling Ruonan's means and how formidable she was, both her sister and grandfather were extremely fearful of that woman, so she could imagine just how formidable Luo Ziling's mother was.

There really were not many people in the world who dared to say they would have her and her sister buried with someone as a sacrifice.

Ouyang Huihui believed that if something happened to Luo Ziling, Ling Ruonan would indeed kill her.

"Luo Ziling, could you get alcohol poisoning?" She finally softened her tone, not daring to provoke Luo Ziling any longer, and said carefully, "Don't scare me, I won't compete with you in drinking anymore, I give up!"

"Don't harass me, that's better than anything," Luo Ziling let out a burp from the liquor and continued to eat, appearing as if nothing was wrong.

Ouyang Huihui's heart was still in turmoil, wanting to say something but at a loss for words.

She had anger in her heart but didn't know who to direct it toward.

Seeing that many people were watching, and some were taking photos with their phones, she finally found an outlet for her anger and stood up with a slam of the table, roaring at those people, "What are you taking photos for? Scram right now! If I see our photos posted on the forums, then I wish you a lifetime of being single, and even if you do find a girlfriend, may you wear green hats every single day, and may your sons and daughters turn out to belong to old Wang from next door."

Her words had a significant impact, and those being scolded were immediately taken aback. The ones ready to take photos quickly put down their phones, and those who had already posted the pictures online edited their posts to delete the photos as fast as they could.

Damn, if Ouyang Huihui's curse came true, not finding a girlfriend or being cheated on after finding one, and ending up raising children that weren't yours after getting married, then life would be truly miserable.

Seeing that her scolding had stopped the onlookers from taking more photos, Ouyang Huihui felt she had regained some face. She didn't say anything else and sat down with a huff, not touching the food. Her mood made the other people at the table lose their appetite for the hot pot as well.

In the end, without finishing all the dishes they'd ordered, they hastily concluded their late-night meal.

"Boss, we're going back to the dorm first. Why don't you take a walk outside, sober up a bit," Cao Jianhui prepared to direct the other two guys to sneak off. He sincerely said to Ouyang Huihui, "Or you could accompany our boss for a stroll, don't let him get into trouble."

"I have something important to discuss with him, you guys go ahead," replied Ouyang Huihui, annoyed and in no good mood.

Seeing that Luo Ziling was fine, Cao Jianhui, after hurriedly settling the bill, called Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang to run off, and meanwhile, shooed away a large group of onlookers who were there for the spectacle.

Seeing that Ouyang Huihui hadn't left, Luo Ziling coldly snapped, "Speak if you have something to say, if not, go back and sleep!"

"I have something to tell you, something important," said Ouyang Huihui. Although she was so angry that she wanted to stab Luo Ziling with a knife, she didn't dare to yell at Luo Ziling without restraint just like she had done earlier. The fact that Luo Ziling had downed two bottles of liquor in one go had truly terrified her.

"Then let's find a place to talk!" Under the gaze of many onlookers, Luo Ziling and Ouyang Huihui left the hot pot restaurant together.

"You've had so much to drink; are you okay?" After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Ouyang Huihui asked softly, "Why don't we find a place to have some tea? Tea can sober you up."

She already regretted having the drinking contest with Luo Ziling. Originally, she wanted to humiliate Luo Ziling by outdrinking him, to stop him from bossing her around and shouting orders. Dominating Luo Ziling was what Ouyang Huihui wanted most. Facing anyone else, she could always maintain her superiority, but when it came to Luo Ziling, she always ended up on the losing side, which infuriated her. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

After being scared by Luo Ziling today, she had given up on trying to keep the upper hand. All she hoped for now was that the guy wouldn't cause any serious trouble. So, while speaking, she no longer had the commanding tone she had earlier, and was even a bit cautious.

"Alright, let's find a place for tea," Luo Ziling didn't reject Ouyang Huihui's suggestion.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of many curious classmates, they found a nearby teahouse and booked a private room.

"Are you really okay?" Once they had sat down in the private room, Ouyang Huihui asked Luo Ziling again, her heart still in turmoil: "All that alcohol, chugged down in one go, do you need to go to the hospital to get checked out?"

"Have you forgotten who I am?"

"Alright," Ouyang Huihui finally remembered Luo Ziling's expertise and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The guy was a doctor, and a pretty good one at that. If he said he was fine, then he probably was.

"Is there anything else you want to talk about?" Luo Ziling didn't want to engage in trivial talk with Ouyang Huihui. Today's events had caused quite a scene, and having so many people stare at him made him extremely uncomfortable.

He was afraid of being misunderstood by Yang Qingyin. If Yang Qingyin thought he was involved with Ouyang Huihui, then it would be troublesome.

"The injury I sustained last time has healed, thank you for that. Those thugs definitely won't be able to get out for a while," Ouyang Huihui continued with a softer tone, whispering her thanks, "What I wanted to ask was if there's any possibility of aftereffects, and if I should get it looked at again?"

"That little sprain is nothing to worry about," Luo Ziling said with a frown and then asked doubtfully, "Did you come to me just for this?"

"No," Ouyang Huihui shook her head, "My grandfather wanted to ask when you're free to come over for a meal. The incident with Li Dongjun hasn't been fully resolved yet. He wants to hear your opinion, then have him and his father meet with you. Grandpa said he has already exchanged views with Ling... with your mom, and everything is up to you now, so he wants to talk to you in person. If you're free, I'll take you there."

After some thought, Luo Ziling eventually agreed, "Alright then, I'll see in the next few days. If I'm free, I'll let you know."

Since Ling Ruonan was involved in this matter and had discussed it with Ouyang Lingyun, Luo Ziling, initially irritated by the situation, decided not to act on impulse. It wasn't about giving Ouyang Lingyun face—though it was necessary to do so—but more because of Ling Ruonan. Since she was involved, he didn't want to embarrass her.

Ling Ruonan's fury over this matter made him feel her love for him. Although it wasn't a direct feeling but rather through what Ouyang Huihui had relayed, he was still somewhat happy.

Since she cared about him, he didn't want to let her down and gave Ouyang Lingyun some face as a courtesy.

This was the first time he had felt his mother's care, so he treasured it greatly!
