Chi Yanchen's voice was cold, with only one short word.
"drink."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengxi drank all twenty-four glasses of wine in one breath without saying a word, and received applause from everyone.
The next second, under everyone's horrified eyes, Li Chengxi's face turned frighteningly red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then he fell to the ground unconscious.
Gu Erya hurriedly lined up people to take Li Chengxi to the hospital, picked up her sister Gu Yan and drove together to prepare to follow.
Ye Mingqian also wanted to follow the car, but was stopped by Gu Erya. He persuaded her earnestly: "My ancestors, you clearly knew that the two of them were at odds and yet you let Achen meet him. With Achen's personality, Li Chengxi would not die. If you want to save half your life, don’t follow me and cause trouble. Go home and if anything happens, I’ll ask Yan’er to send you a message.”
That familiar feeling of frustration came back to me.
Ye Mingqian looked at Chi Yanchen coldly.
"You deliberately."
"right."
Chi Yanchen affirmed unabashedly.
His eyes were cold and emotionless.
When his eyes swept over, Ye Mingqian felt the cold wind blowing above his head.
She knew that she had offended Chi Yanchen again, but this time she did it on purpose.
"He almost died."
Ye Mingqian's mobile phone screen lit up, and there was a message from Liu Fulong, saying that Li Chengxi was almost admitted to the hospital for alcohol allergy, and several critical illness notices from the ICU were issued one after another.
"Do you know he can't drink?"
she asked Chi Yanchen.
"Know."
Chi Yanchen asked indifferently: "Not dead?"
Ye Mingqian looked at the man in front of her again, as if it was the first day she met him.
She asked in disbelief: "Nothing happened. If something happens, it will be a human life. Chi Yanchen, I never thought you could be so indifferent to life."
"I didn't force him."
Chi Yanchen's lips were filled with sarcasm: "It was you and me who forced me to do this to him."
Ye Mingqian was speechless.
"You don't need to come to Tengtian tomorrow. Just stay in your own land. You don't need to interfere with M Li's affairs. It depends on my mood whether I can restart it."
Chi Yanchen's tone did not fluctuate when he spoke to her, and he changed to another expression when he lifted Shu Qiaoqiao's hand.
"I'll take you home first."
He said softly.
Smiling at Ye Ming arrogantly, Shu Qiaoqiao took Chi Yanchen's arm intimately and went out.
When something like Li Chengxi happened, everyone in the private room had already dispersed.
Gu Yan also sent Li Chengxi to the hospital with Gu Erya, and sent her several messages during the process, all of which told her not to worry too much.
Ye Mingqian did not go home directly after leaving the hotel. Instead, she asked Gu Yan the hospital and ward number where Li Chengxi was staying and went straight there.
When he arrived at Li Chengxi's ward, his face was still a little red and swollen, but his spirit was fine.
"Didn't the doctor say it will disappear tomorrow? Others can't see it, so don't worry about it. Don't worry."
He also spoke with a strong voice. Who would have thought that he was almost sent to the ICU just now.
"I'm annoyed? If you are obedient and don't touch the liquor, how can I bother you? I've told you repeatedly that you can't touch more than two bottles of beer, and you can't touch any liquor. You should not only turn a deaf ear to my words, but also drink twenty-four glasses in one go. Jiu, you want me to collect the body for you."
Liu Fulong has always been steady, but now he is roaring at Lee Seung Suk regardless of his image.
"Excuse me."
Ye Mingqian originally stood outside the door and wanted to wait for Liu Fulong to finish reprimanding Li Chengxi, but after she heard the words repeated over and over again, she calmly knocked on the door to interrupt his endless chatter.
Sure enough, Li Chengxi was as happy as the savior came when he saw her.
"A guest is here, go buy some fruit and something to drink."
He hurriedly sent Liu Fulong away.
"You know you can't touch alcohol physically, so why do you still drink it?"
Ye Mingqian stood beside Li Chengxi's bed and got straight to the point.
Li Chengxi's eyelashes fluttered and he whispered: "I owe him this."
"What do you owe him?"
This is what she wants to know urgently.
Li Chengxi's eyes flickered, he hesitated several times, and finally let out a long sigh.
"A life."
Ye Mingqian's first reaction was: "He saved you?"
"Don't ask, I won't tell."
Li Chengxi looked languid and lacked energy. One side of his rather handsome face was red and swollen, and he looked extremely funny.
Ye Mingqian didn't want to let him go yet, and was about to ask again when the door to the ward was kicked open violently, followed by a howl that scared her.
"Oh, who beat my idol like this?"
Huo Yiquan rushed in like a ferocious bear. If she hadn't escaped quickly enough, she would have been knocked to the ground.
"Do you feel any pain here? Do you want to call the doctor to check again? Is your brain broken? As long as it's not broken, you'll be fine."
He looked like a little fanboy, and didn't even notice Ye Mingqian next to him.
"Then I'll leave first."
Seeing that she couldn't ask any more questions, she said goodbye and left.
Huo Yiquan was well-informed, and judging from Li Chengxi's appearance, it seemed that this was not the first time these two had met.
Invite Huo Yiquan, a street kid, out tomorrow for a chat.
Ye Mingqian made up her mind after leaving the hospital.
Early the next morning, she made a frantic call to shake Huo Yiquan awake.
"What for?" he asked unhappily.
"Come out to dinner, I'll treat you."
Ye Mingqian reported the address without waiting for him to refuse, "Don't let the pigeon fly, or I will speak ill of you in front of Li Chengxi."
With the last sentence of threat, Huo Yiquan showed up at the coffee shop she agreed to on time.
"What are you doing, not letting people sleep so early in the morning?"
Mr. Huo was still angry when he got up, and his face smelled like an old lady's foot wrap.
"You think I do."
Ye Mingqian glared at him angrily and asked the waiter to take his order, "What do you want to drink?"
she asked Huo Yiquan.
"whatever."
Mr. Huo said very bachelorly that it didn't matter what he drank.
"A latte, an iced Americano."
Ye Mingqian didn't bother to think about it, so he ordered the two simplest and most common ones, so he served them very quickly. The waiter brought them to him in less than two minutes.
"I have met Li Chengxi so many times, but why didn't I hear him mention you? If I had known that you two knew each other, we would have gone out to eat together."
She put the latte in front of Huo Yiquan and drank the iced Americano herself.
"I've met him a few times abroad, at various university evening events. He also brought students from our school's fashion design major, but I know him, but he doesn't know me."
Huo Yiquan drank a large cup of coffee and his mind became clearer.
"You are Mr. Huo. It's not easy to get to know him." Ye Mingqian said calmly.
"That's so boring. If you use the Huo family name to fool people, it doesn't count as a real acquaintance. I'm not Huo Yian. I use my family name every day to show off."
He paused and then said: "Besides, Li Chengxi doesn't like to show off."
"Yes, I know this too." Ye Mingqian nodded.
