Xia Yanyu had imposed too many restrictions, but Xia Xiaodie had no other options now.

She wanted to see Xu Fan one more time, just that.

She nodded, and under Xia Yanyu's lead, they drove to the Prosperous Dynasty.

Earlier, Xu Fan had mentioned the location of the birthday party in a WeChat message to Xia Xiaodie.

They parked the car outside the Prosperous Dynasty, and Xia Yanyu led Xia Xiaodie into the venue.

There was only one VIP room available, and quickly under Xia Yanyu's lead, they arrived at the door.

Peeking through the crack of the door, Xia Xiaodie's face instantly turned pale with shock.

Indistinctly visible were tables laden with empty bottles, and even the floor was strewn with many.

Chen Dongdong and his group had already been knocked out by Xu Fan, who had contributed to all these empty bottles and now seemed to be drunk as well.

Xia Xiaodie knew exactly why Xu Fan would get drunk on his own, and in a moment of impulsiveness, she bit her tender lip and subconsciously planned to rush in to persuade him not to drink anymore.

However, before she could open the door, Xia Yanyu immediately grabbed her.

"Xiaodie, did you forget what you promised me before we came?"

"But, sister..."

Xia Xiaodie looked troubled, not wanting to break the promise with Xia Yanyu, but she was afraid that Xu Fan would get into trouble if he continued drinking!

Xia Yanyu glanced faintly into the room and observed Xu Fan continually pouring himself drink, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes.

"Don't worry, he just wants to get drunk, this amount of alcohol won't hurt him."

Xia Yanyu had witnessed Xu Fan's capacity before; with his tolerance, such amount was unlikely to harm him.

"Huh? Xia Yanyu, Xiaodie?"

As time for the flight was running out, Xia Yanyu was about to forcibly pull Xia Xiaodie away when unexpectedly, a voice came from behind them.

"Zhou, Teacher Zhou?"

Xia Yanyu turned around in panic, and upon seeing Zhou Keren, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaodie, weren't you already..."

Zhou Keren looked at Xia Xiaodie with confusion.

After receiving a call from Guan Shimeng about the matter between Xia Xiaodie and Xu Fan, she was entrusted by Guan Shimeng to come over and advise against drinking.

Seeing Xia Xiaodie, who was supposed to have left Jinling, Zhou Keren was truly confused.

This girl, what was she thinking...

"Teacher Zhou, I just want to see him one last time, can you keep it a secret for me..."

"This..."

"Teacher Zhou, please."

Seeing Zhou Keren hesitate, Xia Yanyu looked at her imploringly.

"Alright, I'll pretend I haven't seen you."

Telling Xu Fan now might complicate things further; Zhou Keren sighed helplessly and agreed.

Once Zhou Keren entered, Xia Yanyu turned to Xia Xiaodie.

"Xiaodie, it's about time we left."

"But, sister..."

Even though Xia Yanyu assured herself that Xu Fan wouldn't get hurt, Xia Xiaodie still couldn't help worrying.

Looking anxiously into the room at Xu Fan, she hesitated and then said, "Sister, maybe I should go to the airport alone."

"Could you stay here and make sure Xu Fan doesn't get into any trouble..."

"…"

Xia Yanyu could only smile bitterly; staying here might just anger Xu Fan even more if he found out.

But unable to resist her sister's pleading eyes, she could only nod.

"Okay, you be careful on your own, I'll stay here."

"I promise you, I'll take good care of him for you," she assured.

...

From the end of Xia Yanyu's call until now, Xu Fan had lost count of how much he had drunk.

Right now, he was deliberately letting alcohol numb him, and everything before his eyes was becoming blurry.

"Drink, everybody, keep drinking..."

In his haze, Xu Fan reached out for the bottle on the table.

But just as he got the bottle in his hand, without even taking a breath to chug it down, suddenly a hand seized the bottle from him.

"Give it, give it here!"

Burping, Xu Fan started babbling at the person, while Zhou Keren looked at Xu Fan, who was drunk like a skunk, feeling furious,

"Xu Fan, are you trying to kill yourself? Drinking so much?"

Looking at the densely packed bottles at his feet and the students strewn around him that Xu Fan had knocked out, Zhou Keren really felt a headache coming on.

These guys, instead of stopping him, were actually drinking with him, wasn't this adding fuel to the fire?

"You, who are you?"

Belching, Xu Fan squinted and looked at the person before him.

Suppressing the urge to smash the bottle on his head, Zhou Keren huffed, "Zhou Keren!"

"Zhou, Zhou Keren? Why, why are you here?"

"School's out, give me the bottle, or else, I'll just lie down on your bed when I get home."

Taking advantage of his drunken boldness, Xu Fan spoke without consideration, making Zhou Keren's heart tighten instantly—after all, Guan Shimeng and the others weren't drunk yet.

This guy, he wouldn't spill the beans about them living together, would he?

"Ms. Zhou, what do we do now..."

Guan Shimeng watched from the side, feeling heartbroken.

She had known from the start that tonight's birthday party wouldn't end happily, but at this moment, letting Xu Fan get hurt alone was something she couldn't accept.

Zhou Keren was called over hoping she would persuade him to stop drinking, but now it seemed utterly ineffective.

"Hey! You!"

Just then, Xu Fan took advantage of Zhou Keren's momentary distraction, snatched the bottle back from her hand, and started guzzling it down again.

Zhou Keren, seeing his greedy drinking, stomped her foot in anger and directly sat down opposite Xu Fan.

"Fine! You want to drink, right? Then I'll drink with you enough today!"

Zhou Keren seemed to have no other option, and so she just gave up and resigned herself to her fate.

Thinking to herself, she would get Xu Fan drunk and then take him home. By then, letting him sleep for a few days, he'd probably be fine.

Now sitting across from Xu Fan, holding the bottle to her mouth, she began matching him drink for drink.

"This..."

Guan Shimeng watched as the two of them went back and forth, bottle after bottle, neither of them yielding, and felt like crying.

Couldn't Ms. Zhou see all those people passed out around them?

You see, their idea before was to get Xu Fan drunk, but now? They all had fallen...

During this tense moment, Zhou Keren and Xu Fan had each downed five bottles.

Xu Fan still looked completely drunk while Zhou Keren, who wasn't much of a drinker herself, had almost reached her limit.

Probably one more bottle, and she would pass out.

Guan Shimeng bit her lip, thinking that if Ms. Zhou couldn't drink Xu Fan under the table, she might just have to keep drinking with him.

Bang!

At that moment, someone fell down...
