Chapter 637
When studying at Lincoln University, I saw how people drank there. They chugged their drinks, even going so far as to say that a real man finished his drinks in one go. Some went further and finished the whole bottle on their own. It was quite uncommon to see people drink like that in Jinovy.
Under the alcohol's influence, Colin became wobbly. He raised his glass shakily and finished it. His face was red, and his breathing became laborious. He couldn't be any more wasted, but he continued to drink. Mad and also upset at his stubbornness, I snatched his glass away.
There was a limit to everything. Colin had served his punishment, and the rest should know when to stop. Otherwise, they would go overboard. As his girlfriend, my instinct was to protect him. And at that moment, I turned into the most overprotective girlfriend anyone had ever met.
I couldn't sit there and do nothing when he needed my help. Today, this superpower of mine that even my parents were not aware of would dazzle everyone. Wine, was it? Bring it on. Let's see who could outdrink who.
"Colin has a class tomorrow. He can't drink that much. I'll drink on his behalf." Under everyone's bemused scrutiny, I pulled the glass closer to my lips.
Colin staggered toward me and tried to take it from me. However, I managed to dodge away. His alcohol tolerance was nothing compared to mine. His job right now was to close his eyes and sober up. I chugged the glass and then flipped it to show everyone I had finished every last drop.
While I acted like a tough woman before everyone, I personally wasn't a huge fan of alcohol. It tasted bitter and acidic. It had such a foul taste that my brows twisted into deep furrows. I covered my mouth instinctively as the scent of alcohol spread in my mouth.
I could hold my drink well, but that didn't mean I enjoyed it. Truth be told, I much preferred the sweet and sour orange juice.
Squinting his eyes, Colin stared at my adventurous self in disbelief. The shock from my action made him sober up immediately. He quickly asked me to sit down and told me ruefully that I shouldn't drink so much. Then, he asked if I felt unwell.
I shook my head casually and told him that I could hold my drink very well. To me, alcohol tasted like water with a bad aftertaste. I didn't mean to brag, but so far, I hadn't met anyone who could outdrink me. I was very confident in my alcohol tolerance.
Everyone around the table saw that I chugged my drink bravely with barely any negative reactions. They became intrigued and flocked to me, abandoning the drunk Colin to the side. Now that the boyfriend was down, they switched to his girlfriend.
But I was no quitter. Besides, I was Colin's girlfriend. He was the star tonight, and everyone present was Colin's work colleagues. I was not going to embarrass him in front of them. However, the drinking game was a party game, so I told everyone to drink with me.
A strange scene then played out at the dinner party. The quiet, meek woman in a beautiful dress drank like a barbarian with ten other people. The way she chugged down drinks was unheard of. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
The whole game lasted until 10:00 pm. When I finished the drink in my hand, the one who gave me a toast tried to do the same, only to spill the wine on himself. His white shirt was immediately dyed a crimson hue.
I looked at the guests with their round bellies, lying on the floor. Then, I let out a sigh of relief. "Finally, they've all passed out. If not, I might die from my bloated stomach."
