Shen Qingning watched Cheng Zhu from a distance until Lin Lu returned from the restroom and sat next to him, only then did she divert her gaze.
But she still observed Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu's interactions from the shadows.
Lin Lu patted her own cheeks with her cold hands and said to Cheng Zhu, "I just looked in the mirror, and my face is so red!"
"You don't drink pure alcohol often, do you?" Cheng Zhu looked at Lin Lu, her cheeks indeed flushed.
But the reddest part of her was actually her ears. The translucent, fair earlobes now felt hot to the touch.
Lin Lu replied, "I actually have a very low alcohol tolerance. Thankfully our team didn't lose much today, otherwise I would have sneaked back home after two rounds to avoid throwing up in the private room and embarrassing myself."
After she finished, she checked the time on her phone and said, "Oh! It's almost midnight! I'll probably leave after we eat the birthday cake."
