Chapter 298: 298 Lu Qingyi: Why can’t we get drunk from drinking alcohol? _1

When Li Xiyi arrived at the Seaview Villa, she found Lu Qingyi collapsed on the living room floor, surrounded by beer bottles strewn haphazardly all around her.

A drama was playing loudly on the TV, and there sat Lu Qingyi on the floor, holding a bottle of beer. Her eyes were not blurry like those of a drunk, but rather exceptionally clear.

"Why can’t I get drunk?"

Hearing the door open, Lu Qingyi turned her neck to look at Li Xiyi and asked, a hint of a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"Stop drinking, don’t you know the state of your own body?"

Li Xiyi snatched the beer bottle from Lu Qingyi’s hands, scolding her harshly.

It wasn’t that Lu Qingyi couldn’t drink, in fact, she could drink a lot, and no matter how much she drank, she would not get drunk. Instead, the more she drank, the more sober she became.

However, the harm it did to her body was particularly severe, and the side effects would be significant later on.

Lu Qingyi had been hospitalized due to alcohol before, but even she didn’t know what her condition was, and the doctors were unable to diagnose her.

Physician, heal thyself.

"Xiyi, why can’t I get drunk? Why can others drown their sorrows in alcohol, have a binge, get drunk, but I can’t?"

Lu Qingyi looked up at Li Xiyi, her voice full of self-mockery.

Perhaps, she really was different.

"Qingyi, please stop drinking, you shouldn’t touch alcohol."

Li Xiyi squatted down, clasping Lu Qingyi’s hand.

Lu Qingyi seemed fine for now, indeed the more she drank, the clearer she became, but who knew what would happen the next day?

"It’s okay, I’m fine now, I just want to get drunk."

Lu Qingyi slowly shook her head, reaching for another unopened beer with an unusually calm expression.

She really wanted to get drunk. She had never experienced what being drunk felt like from childhood till now and really wished to experience it.

"Have you thought about the consequences?"

Li Xiyi snatched the beer from Lu Qingyi and hurled it onto the floor. The bottle shattered immediately, its contents spraying all over the place.

Lu Qingyi wiped the splashed beer off her face, a faint cold smile curling up at the corner of her lips.

What consequences?

She hadn’t thought about them, and she didn’t want to.

Slight pain didn’t mean anything to her. The mere thought of Xu Boyan caused her heart to ache terribly.

"Xu Boyan loves you very much."

Li Xiyi said, sincerity shining in her eyes.

Xu Boyan loved Lu Qingyi, and Lu Qingyi loved Xu Boyan too. What couldn’t they resolve between them?

They could reconcile with their enemies.

Lu Qingyi curled her lips slightly, "I know."

What saddened her the most right now was the fact that she had killed many of Xu Boyan’s people, and she wondered if he would hold it against her.

If they were simply enemies vying for interests, they could possibly reconcile.

But the current situation was a bit different.

"Got a cigarette?"

Lu Qingyun felt extremely irritable deep inside. She felt her pockets, where there was only a lighter, no cigarettes.

Probably from the last time, she had thrown away her cigarettes, but kept the lighter. Her pockets were now empty of cigarettes.

Li Xiyi asked, "Where are your cigarettes?"

She remembered that Lu Qingyi always carried cigarettes with her, though she rarely smoked. But, she never went without them.

"I quit, didn’t carry any. He said he would quit smoking with me."

Lu Qingyi looked up at the ceiling, speaking slowly.

Quitting smoking together was a promise between them.

Li Xiyi: "..."

Strangely enough, she felt like she had just been force-fed a dose of lovey-dovey display.

"Give me a cigarette."

Lu Qingyi extended her hand to Li Xiyi, her voice dull and indifferent.

"You’ve quit."

Li Xiyi looked at Lu Qingyi, not handing over the cigarette.

"I’m annoyed."

Lu Qingyi furrowed her brows, the expression on her face radiating frustration.

"Here you go, but only one."

Li Xiyi took out a cigarette from her pocket and handed it to Lu Qingyi, speaking in an indifferent tone.

Just one, not any more.

"Good."

Lu Qingyi took the cigarette, put it in her mouth, and lit it with a lighter, shrouded in a veil of smoke.

She took a puff, then slowly exhaled, the smoke spreading out, slightly choking.

"I met Xu Boyan today."

Li Xiyi was cleaning up empty beer bottles from the ground, casually sharing this as she did so.

Her voice was very soft; she felt it was necessary to tell Lu Qingyi about the meeting.

Lu Qingyi seemed as though she hadn’t heard clearly; she closed her eyes, taking in the fleeting pleasure of the smoke, not answering Li Xiyi’s statement.

"I met Xu Boyan today."

Li Xiyi heaved a gentle sigh, repeating her words as she looked at Lu Qingyi.

"Why?"

Lu Qingyi’s hand, holding the cigarette froze instantly. She stiffly turned to look at Li Xiyi, her voice slightly trembled.

Li Xiyi had gone to see Xu Boyan.

In Lu Qingyi’s mind, this phrase echoed repeatedly. She looked at Li Xiyi, her eyes lit up with expectation.

Li Xiyi: "..."

Lu Qingyi’s gaze - it was really hard to describe.

"He sought me out."

Li Xiyi pulled out a carton of beer bottles, placing the empty beer bottles one by one into the carton. Her voice was incredibly casual.

"So, he sought you out..."

Lu Qingyi looked at Li Xiyi, her eyes filled with confusion, interspersed with a faint sense of sadness.

In any case, Lu Qingyi felt very disappointed.

She knew that Xu Boyan had smoked a lot of cigarettes on the balcony; there were many extinguished cigarette butts on the balcony. She also knew that Xu Boyan had later gone out, but she did not expect that Xu Boyan went to find Li Xiyi.

She hadn’t anticipated that.

"He asked about you. I didn’t say anything."

Li Xiyi walked over, gently patting Lu Qingyi’s shoulder and softly said.

Lu Qingyi lowered her eyes, her expression one of evident disappointment. "Oh."

Li Xiyi asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Whether to speak or not, it all depends on Lu Qingyi’s mentality and the result will be determined the moment she speaks.

"Let’s see how it goes. I’m not too entangled yet, there might still be a way out."

Lu Qingyi lightly laughed, her words portrayed a casual attitude, although her thoughts were otherwise.

She had already been ensnared, and she wouldn’t be able to break free. Her heart was really small; when it came to love, she could only accommodate one person.

And that person was Xu Boyan.

Xu Boyan loved her dearly, this Lu Qingyi was very sure about.

However, love is love, everything else is everything else, the two things shouldn’t be confused.

She didn’t know whether Xu Boyan valued love or the life of his fellow comrade more.
