341 The Majority Are Compliments (1/2)

Shortly after they placed their orders, the waiter served them their drinks first. Fang Jiayin had a cup of coffee, while Xuxu had hot chocolate. Soon enough, the sweet smell of hot beverages

permeated the air.

Fang Jiayin stirred her coffee with a teaspoon. She glanced at Xuxu and asked, ”Do you want some red wine?”

Xuxu shooked her head lightly. ”I have a low tolerance for alcohol.”

She jolly well know her threshold for alcohol.

”I know. I am just teasing you.” Having said that, she took a sip of her coffee and continued blasting Xuxu another question. ”Are you now able to drink beyond one glass of wine without getting drunk?”

Xuxu smiled in her response. ”I don't get drunk but just a little tipsy.”

”You are really bad in holding your alcohol,” Fang Jiayin commented, ”but be it one glass or one bottle, the extent of your drunkenness is almost the same.”

This was indeed very true. Xuxu couldn't help but break into a burst of laughter. ”You're right. I will be struggling to keep my balance and would need someone to hold on to. I'll also be spouting gibberish.”

Although she had a very low tolerance for alcohol, she had yet to be intoxicated to the point of unconsciousness.

”The most memorable was during Ah Heng's farewell party. According to Ah Sheng, that was the only time where you had a drop too much.” Fang Jiayin was sipping her coffee and casually talking at the same time. ”He said that you must had felt heartbroken and the next day, he was nagging incessantly 'Wen Xuxu, that dumb and useless woman'.”

At the mention of this matter, Xuxu had an awkward smile on her face. She sighed and then said, ”Those are embarrassing matters of the past and they're not worth a mention.”

She lowered her head and stirred her hot chocolate with a straw. Feelings of insecurity and inferiority bubbled up to the surface, and she tried her best to hide it.
