Chapter 224: Chapter 145: Eat Xiao Yao Elixir When Heart Fire is Excessive

Mengyao looked like it had been a really long time since she last sang karaoke. Once she started, she never put the microphone down, singing five or six songs in a row and still not satisfied. No doubt a microphone hog.

Her singing skills were mediocre at best, not out of tune or breaking, but nothing spectacular either.

It was only after singing for at least half an hour and feeling thirsty that she paused to have a drink.

"This drink isn’t soothing at all, not as good as beer."

Mengyao took a sip of watermelon juice then promptly put it down and picked up a bottle of Snow Beer from the coffee table, guzzling it down. Soon the bottle was empty, drunk in one go.

Chen Feng and the other two were stunned by her boldness.

Chen Feng had ordered a large room and got a complimentary case of twenty-four small bottles of Snow Beer Ice Cool, along with a fruit plate and various snacks. Initially unaware, he only found out when it was delivered but was too lazy to return it and just left it there.

None of the three men intended to start drinking, so Mengyao went ahead and downed a bottle herself.

"Mengyao, you can really hold your liquor, just downing a bottle like that. Impressive!"

Chen Feng said jokingly.

"This Snow Beer tastes just like plain water. And it’s such a small bottle, what’s impressive about that? Come on, everyone take one."

Mengyao grabbed two bottles and handed them to Chen Feng and Wu Mengting.

Chen Feng chuckled as he took it, a man like him certainly couldn’t be outdrunk by a woman, and indeed the small bottle of Snow Beer really did drink like water.

Wu Mengting quickly shook her head in refusal, "I shouldn’t; I have to drive later."

"What about you?" Mengyao then handed one to Lin Yujiao.

Lin Yujiao smiled and accepted it.

"OK, let’s the three of us have a drink."

Mengyao, holding a bottle, said to both, then took another swig, downing yet another bottle.

Chen Feng was somewhat taken aback, as he had never known Mengyao to drink.

Of course, back in high school, to be honest, he hadn’t known her that well since he was entirely focused on studying and getting into university.

Besides, "Women change," they say, and after eleven years, it wasn’t surprising she’d become good at drinking.

"Drink up!"

Prompted by Mengyao, Chen Feng downed a bottle as well, soon awakened from the spell.

To be honest, Snow Beer didn’t taste as rich as Budweiser, nor as refreshing as Harbin Beer, but it was passable.

Lin Yujiao also drank a bottle. Seeing her so composed, it was clear she knew how to handle her liquor.

This was new to Chen Feng too; during their last meeting here, neither had drunk.

"Good! Keep going."

Mengyao said and opened another bottle for herself, making Chen Feng a bit scared. He hurriedly intervened, "Hold on! Who drinks like that? Take it easy, drinking so much so fast especially when it’s this cold, it’s definitely not going to feel good."

It was December after all, and although it was the south, temperatures could drop below zero at night; not the best time for icy beer.

"It feels great," Mengyao said with a smile. "Some recent issues have made me quite irritable; the cold beer helps cool me down."

Chen Feng teased, "For a woman’s heart fire, you should take Xiao Yao Elixir."

Mengyao grinned at him, "You really know a lot, pretty knowledgeable about women, huh?"

Chen Feng shrugged, "I’ve had... girlfriends before, of course, I know a thing or two about women. Trust me, if you’re feeling upset or distressed, take Xiao Yao Elixir, not cold beer."

"Thanks for the concern, but I’d rather have the beer."

After saying that, Mengyao opened another bottle and gulped it down quickly.

Seeing her do this, Chen Feng knew her words were true, she really was feeling agitated, otherwise, she wouldn’t drink like that.

Thus, Chen Feng no longer tried to stop her, only saying, "Come, sit down and eat some snacks to absorb the alcohol."

This time, Mengyao didn’t refuse, sitting next to Chen Feng and picking up some snacks from the coffee table to eat.

"Chen Feng, you still care and look after others just like back in school," Mengyao said while eating, looking at Chen Feng with a light smile.

Chen Feng wasn’t a rookie, and recalling Qin Zhen saying she had a crush on him in high school, he replied with a broad smile, "Your laugh is still so sincere and beautiful. Seeing you smile always lifts my spirits."

"Pff!"

That was Wu Mengting, who had just taken a drink, spraying it out. Both Chen Feng and Mengyao were shocked by her reaction, abruptly shattering the nostalgic atmosphere.

She quickly stood up, grabbed a tissue from the table to wipe her mouth, then sheepishly said to Chen Feng and Mengyao, "Sorry about that, that was just too cheesy, I couldn’t help myself."

"Your brother?" Mengyao looked bewildered at Chen Feng. "Didn’t you say she was just your friend? When did she become your sister?"

Before Chen Feng could respond, Wu Mengting hurriedly said, "I’m his sworn sister. We met in Xiu Zhou, we’re all from Lu City, and just got to know each other well over time. Initially, I wanted to be his girlfriend, but he didn’t agree, so I became his sworn sister."

"Oh, really? Ha, are you serious?" Mengyao clearly didn’t believe it and looked at Chen Feng again with a laugh.

Since it was the truth, Chen Feng found it hard to deny outright, but he really hadn’t expected Wu Mengting to be so upfront about it, which was somewhat embarrassing.

"It’s true," seeing Chen Feng not denying it, Mengyao knew it must be true and, slightly surprised, laughed at Wu Mengting, "I don’t know whether to compliment you on your taste or to call you a fool for it."
