Courtyard House: In this life, I have a new home!

6

Let's not even talk about these few cups.

Even if you bring a truckload of alcohol, the worst that happens is you'll have to go to the toilet a few more times; nothing serious.

Lu Zhenxing took the wine glass, a smirk playing on his lips.

He tilted his head back and downed it in one gulp.

Yi Zhonghai smiled broadly, then raised his hand as if to fall again.

Lu Zhenxing reached out and blocked it directly.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"Today is my wedding day. You toast me, and I'll drink. No problem."

"But it's not fair for me to drink alone while you guys don't touch a drop, is it?"

"How about this—you toast me, and you all drink one too."

After he finished speaking, he added another sentence.

"If you don't agree, then I won't touch a single drop of your wine."

He said that.

Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao were all stunned.

We looked at each other, and our brows furrowed instantly.

broken.

If Lu Zhenxing refuses to drink, what's the point of forcing him to drink?

Sha Zhu nudged Yi Zhonghai's arm.

"Uncle Yi, what should we do?"

"Shall we drink or not?"

Xu Damao also looked troubled.

"Yeah, sir, are we going to drink or not?"

Xu Damao's alcohol tolerance is average; one bottle is usually enough for him to reach his limit.

Sha Zhu can really drink; he downed three bottles and was perfectly fine.

The worst off is Yi Zhonghai, who is getting old and can only drink half a bottle of wine at most.

Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao huddled together, frowning and pondering for a long time.

Suddenly, Sha Zhu slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Let's go for it! Let's drink! Who's afraid of who?"

The three exchanged glances and agreed that what he said made sense.

They took turns toasting Lu Zhenxing. With three people on their side, each person would drink one cup, which would mean Lu Zhenxing would have to drink three cups.

No matter how you look at it, you're not losing out.

A 3 to 1 ratio, this deal is a sure win.

They refused to believe that three people couldn't outdrink Lu Zhenxing.

One cup after another, three cups after three cups, it won't be long before this guy is completely drunk and passed out.

Thinking of this, all three of them couldn't help but smile.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Lu Zhenxing with a smile: "Zhenxing, today is your big day, you can say whatever you want."

After saying that, Chong Shazhu and Xu Damao exchanged a glance: "Come on, let's each toast Zhenxing with a glass."

Then he turned to Zhenxing and said, "Zhenxing, you have to finish these three cups."

Lu Zhenxing smirked, casually took the three glasses of wine, and downed them all in one gulp.

And believe it or not, he personally selected this wine.

It tastes really good, like fruit juice, and the more you drink, the more invigorating it becomes, making you feel relaxed and happy.

One cup after another, Lu Zhenxing drank with great relish.

He couldn't remember how much he had drunk; his stomach was churning with alcohol.

But he didn't blush at all; his eyes shone like light bulbs, and he stood ramrod straight without even swaying.

After finishing his last glass, he smacked his lips, frowned, and shouted angrily to Yi Zhonghai and the other two, "Where's the wine? Keep toasting!"

"Hurry up! Bring the wine!"

"I'll drink three glasses, and you each drink one, don't stop!"

As he spoke, he reached out and shoved the three people opposite him.

Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao, and Sha Zhu lost their footing and fell flat on their backs.

"Splat!"

"Ouch! My old back!"

"My ass!"

"You bumped your tailbone!"

The three men rubbed their buttocks and got up, wincing in pain.

"Ouch!"

"It hurts so much!"

They stared at Lu Zhenxing, their eyes filled with resentment.

There's still so much I don't understand.

They really couldn't understand why Lu Zhenxing wouldn't get drunk, even though they watched him drink one cup after another.

The three of them were almost at their limit, with only a sliver of consciousness remaining.

He watched helplessly as Lu Zhenxing downed another cup without changing his expression.

Lu Zhenxing acted as if nothing was wrong, cheerfully holding his glass and chugging down his drinks, urging them to keep going.

Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao watched helplessly as he drank cup after cup of water, their hearts filled with bitterness.

My stomach felt like it was on fire, my lips were numb, my face was as red as a monkey's bottom, and my eyes started to glaze over.

My head was spinning, and my legs started to tremble.

The three of them were filled with hatred!

Who would have thought Lu Zhenxing could drink so much?

They thought they were guaranteed to win in a three-on-one fight, but the other team was completely unharmed, while the three of them were almost crippled.

The more I think about it, the more I regret it. How could I have come up with such a terrible idea?

Trying to get others drunk? Now look what's happened, you're the one who can't handle it anymore.

Trying to slip away? Lu Zhenxing didn't give them a chance at all.

Lu Zhenxing stared at them with a cold smile: "So, you're offering a toast? Why aren't you?"

"Didn't you just say you were genuinely happy for me? I'm really touched. Let's keep drinking."

"A deep bond is a bond for one gulp! You guys are so generous, I can't spoil the fun. Come on, let's have another one!"

As he spoke, he poured himself three full glasses and placed one in front of each of the three people opposite him.

He reached out and pushed, saying, "Drink, drink, don't be shy!"

"Let's drink this down in one gulp! Aren't you genuinely happy for me? Come on!"

"Suffocate! Suffocate! Suffocate, suffocate!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhenxing tilted his head back and gulped down all three cups of wine.

After finishing his drink, he smacked his lips, looking thoroughly satisfied: "Tsk, that was great!"

Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao stared wide-eyed.

Was it fun?

The three of them were almost drunk to the point of throwing up, okay?

My stomach is churning, how can I feel satisfied?

It tastes absolutely awful!

The three men stared at the glass of wine in front of them, beads of sweat dripping from their foreheads.

I saw stars before my eyes, and I swayed like a straw in the wind.

When Lu Zhenxing saw that they didn't move, his face immediately fell.

"Hey, why aren't you drinking anymore? I've already finished mine."

"If you don't drink, then you're disrespecting me."

"Or was it all a lie when you said you were genuinely happy for me? Was your feelings not strong enough, so you couldn't stay silent?"

Lu Zhenxing's face immediately darkened, his expression filled with displeasure.

Yi Zhonghai and his two companions shrank back, their faces full of distress. They were thinking to themselves that they should simply tell Lu Zhenxing directly—they weren't drinking anymore; they really couldn't drink any more. That way, they could escape their current torment and avoid this predicament.

But to everyone's surprise, the surrounding guests erupted in uproar, shouting and yelling:

"Drink up, don't stop! Brother Zhenxing is right, deep friendship means downing it in one gulp!"

"Yi Zhonghai, weren't you guys just saying you were happy for Zhenxing? Were you all just pretending?"

"Exactly! If you're truly happy for Zhenxing, then drink it! Hurry up!"

"You were the ones who insisted on getting Zhenxing drunk first, and now that he's already drunk it, you're trying to renege on your promise. What kind of logic is that?"

The people around them all cast disdainful glances at Yi Zhonghai and his companions. Their looks made it seem as if Yi Zhonghai had committed a grave mistake if he didn't drink the wine, and no one would condone it.

It makes sense. Yi Zhonghai and his two friends first forced Lu Zhenxing to drink, using the excuse of giving him a red envelope and genuinely being happy for him to insist on toasting him. Back then, if Lu Zhenxing didn't drink, it was considered disrespectful. They used this tactic to force him to drink. Now that Lu Zhenxing has finished it all, they refuse to drink anymore. What kind of behavior is this? It's definitely not acceptable. The onlookers couldn't stand it anymore.

Besides, everyone present wasn't stupid; everyone could see that Yi Zhonghai and his two companions had ulterior motives. To put it bluntly, they wanted to get Lu Zhenxing drunk and embarrass him at the wedding. That way, Yi Zhonghai and his friends could make fun of Lu Zhenxing later. Typical malicious intent.

Of course, everyone wanted to stand up for Lu Zhenxing, so they all cheered and made things difficult for Yi Zhonghai and the other two, forcing them to drink.

Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao were indeed restrained. With so many people making a fuss, if they said they didn't want to drink anymore and tried to back out, what kind of people would they be? Wouldn't they be laughed at to death? That wouldn't do!

All three of them are very concerned about their image, so there's no way they can avoid drinking.

Drink up!

The three of them adopted a "go all out" attitude, picked up their glasses, tilted their heads back, and chugged the drinks down.

After just one drink, the three of them swayed and staggered. If they hadn't been holding onto the table, they would have collapsed on the spot. Judging by their condition, one more drink and they'd definitely be passed out. Right now, they were barely clinging to their last shred of consciousness, their heads practically drooping.

Lu Zhenxing glanced at the three people in front of him, a slight smirk playing on his lips, his face full of mockery.

He was about to continue drinking, and the words were already on the tip of his tongue.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Her face was flushed, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to get drunk and cause a scene.

She was probably confused herself and thought she was dreaming.

Qin Huairu staggered unsteadily toward Lu Zhenxing and buried herself in his arms.

He mumbled indistinctly, "Zhenxing, I like you so much!"

The voice was quite loud; the entire room could hear it clearly.

Everyone was stunned.

Their mouths were agape, wide enough to fit eggs, and their eyes were bulging like copper bells.

But his eyes were full of excitement, as if he were watching a good show.

Gee!

What earth-shattering secret have they stumbled upon?!

That's amazing!

We Chinese are inherently fond of watching a good show, and we're all incredibly enthusiastic.

They all craned their necks, widened their eyes, and stared intently at Lu Zhenxing and Qin Huairu.

Just waiting to see the show!

Yi Zhonghai didn't show much expression, since Qin Huairu had nothing to do with him anyway.

But Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were different; they were so frustrated they were about to explode!

Both Xu Damao and Sha Zhu have a bit of a crush on Qin Huairu.

Xu Damao was a bit better; he just wanted to flirt with Qin Huairu.

If you don't manage to seduce her, then it's all the same.

At this point, Xu Damao couldn't save face, and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

But Sha Zhu is different.

He'd been Qin Huairu's devoted follower for years, yet he'd never even laid a finger on her.

Who in the compound doesn't know about this?

To be honest, if you're going to be a simp, so be it. We're all men, and everyone can understand.

At most, they'll just laugh at Sha Zhu behind his back and that's it.

But now?

Sha Zhu has been fawning over his goddess for so many years, but the one he actually likes is Lu Zhenxing!

He even threw himself into her arms!

Judging from Qin Huairu's appearance, she has clearly developed genuine feelings for Lu Zhenxing.

Compared to Sha Zhu, isn't this just a joke?

After years of trying to win over someone he couldn't, Sha Zhu turned around and went straight for Lu Zhenxing.

Isn't Sha Zhu becoming the biggest laughing stock in the world?!

That idiot Zhu is so embarrassing!

"Hahaha!"

The people around him pointed at Sha Zhu and laughed so hard they were doubled over.

"That blockhead Zhu is hilarious!"

"That's right, Qin Huairu completely ignores him; her heart is only with Lu Zhenxing!"
