Ning Fengzhi was supposed to be the one getting drunk, but it seemed Yuan Feifei had entered that state of tipsiness instead.
"Let me tell you, even though I'm not from a noble background, ever since I started working here, I've had countless admirers. I'm not drinking with you because I fancy you!" Yuan Feifei slurred, leaning on Ning Fengzhi's shoulder.
Ning Fengzhi, holding the microphone, also appeared slightly tipsy.
It was his principle not to use his true qi to expel alcohol when drinking. What was the point of drinking then? Either drink properly, or don't drink at all.
When he was singing earlier, he had treated the alcohol like a beverage, downing a liter or two of foreign liquor. While it wouldn't make him completely plastered, the tipsiness would still set in, and over time, it would hit him harder.
He listened to Yuan Feifei's words, smiled gently, and for once, instead of singing, he said, "I know, as an outstanding woman like yourself, you'd naturally attract many people. I'm likely just one among them, and you have the luxury of choice..."
Huh?
Yuan Feifei covered her mouth. She had been about to burp, but upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, her already flushed cheeks turned an even deeper shade of red.
Did he mean he liked her?
Was this a confession?
"You, you, you... what are you talking about..." Yuan Feifei stammered, "What right to choose? I think you... I go by feeling, you know."
She had almost slipped up and directly admitted that she was quite satisfied with Ning Fengzhi. Luckily, she managed to correct herself. She wasn't someone who played games with people's hearts.
"Then, how do you feel about me?"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly put down the microphone and looked at Yuan Feifei. His expression was incredibly serious, his gaze fixed on her eyes. "Then, do you have feelings for me?"
"What?"
Yuan Feifei was taken aback by his sudden question. Why had he suddenly asked that? She wasn't ready yet! She had drunk so much precisely to muster up courage, and she hadn't had enough...
With that thought, she picked up her wine glass and said to Ning Fengzhi, "Here, let's have another drink first!"
Ning Fengzhi clinked glasses with her and drained his in one gulp.
"Here they come!"
The senior sisters waiting by the door heard this and instantly became excited. They had been waiting for this for so long; finally, something significant was happening!
However, Yuan Feifei's answer clearly left them dissatisfied.
"Feifei is too shy, isn't she? If you like him, say so. If not, reject him."
"Don't worry, this takes time. If it were you, could you give an answer on the spot?" another junior sister immediately chimed in. "Just wait patiently, Feifei is very shy."
"Exactly, exactly."
The group by the door waited eagerly for the drama to unfold.
After finishing the drink, she still couldn't answer the question. She looked at Ning Fengzhi and said, "How about another one?"
Ning Fengzhi was also straightforward. He picked up a newly opened bottle of foreign liquor, handed one to Yuan Feifei, and watched as she "glug glug"ed, finishing the entire bottle.
"..." Yuan Feifei gritted her teeth and drank hers as well.
