Accidental Harm and Rongrong in Action
However, as it turned out, Ning Rongrong was overthinking things. Although Lu Yuan was an alchemist, he was not a god. Since the medicine had no taste and its color was completely masked by the wine, Lu Yuan naturally wouldn't notice anything.
I took a gentle sniff, and it was filled with the aroma of wine.
"It smells quite nice," Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.
"Then hurry up and drink it, see if it suits your taste?" Ning Rongrong looked closely at Lu Yuan and urged him.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look at Ning Rongrong with some confusion. This girl seemed to really want him to drink the wine quickly. Did she care a lot about his opinion?
Want to hear if you're satisfied with this wine?
Well, considering the girl's good intentions, even if the wine tastes mediocre, I should still give it a good review so as not to hurt her feelings.
Lu Yuan thought to himself.
However, what Lu Yuan didn't know was that he had miscalculated this time. Ning Rongrong didn't care about Lu Yuan's opinion on the wine; what she cared about was that Lu Yuan should drink it as soon as possible.
Even with Lu Yuan's intelligence far surpassing that of ordinary people, he never imagined that Ning Rongrong would dare to drug him.
After all, Ning Rongrong had always been well-behaved and her temper had been tempered quite a bit, so Lu Yuan wasn't very wary of her.
This, in turn, gave Ning Rongrong an opportunity.
Without hesitation, Lu Yuan immediately took a sip.
It's cool and slightly sweet at first, followed by layers of spiciness that instantly open your mind, making you swallow the drink and feel a warm current flow from your mouth straight down your throat.
After the initial spiciness comes a burst of fragrance, and the smooth texture surges forth like ocean waves, lingering in the mouth for Jiujiu.
This is indeed a very good drink, and it certainly lives up to its price.
Seeing Lu Yuan take a sip of the drink, Ning Rongrong's sapphire-like eyes lit up. Suppressing her excitement, she asked, "What do you think?"
"Not bad." Lu Yuan smiled slightly and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Upon seeing this, Ning Rongrong's eyes immediately lit up with intense surprise.
"Come on, Lu Yuan, have some food. Drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health." Seeing that Lu Yuan finished a glass, Ning Rongrong Lu Yuan poured him another glass and kept putting food on his plate.
"Lu Yuan has already finished a cup, so the effects of the medicine should be almost gone. However, to ensure things go smoothly, I need to make him finish the whole bottle," Ning Rongrong thought to herself.
However, things don't always go according to one's wishes.
"Lu Yuan, is this wine really that good? I'd like to try it." Seeing that Lu Yuan was quite satisfied after finishing it, Flender immediately became interested.
"Dean Flander, here you go, there's still quite a bit left." Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately handed over the bottle containing the Blue Sprite.
Before Ning Rongrong could stop it, the drink was already in Flender's hands.
Flender first poured himself a large glass, and then poured one for Liu Erlong. Such good stuff should naturally be shared with Erlong!
Because the wine glasses are very large, once four glasses are poured out, there isn't much wine left.
Watching Flender's actions, Ning Rongrong felt her heart bleed; this was meant for Lu Yuan to drink.
However, remembering that she had poured herself a cup in front of Lu Yuan, two cups should be enough to ensure everything was safe. With this in mind, Ning Rongrong gradually felt relieved.
However, looking at Flender and Liu Erlong who were already drinking, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that she had accidentally hurt them this time. She hoped that nothing serious would happen.
However, they all live alone, and nothing should happen if they stay together alone, Ning Rongrong comforted herself.
"Zhu Qing, I'd like to toast you." Ning Rongrong took the Golden Gilded Years she had snatched from Lu Yuan, poured herself a glass, and then got up from her seat to pour one for Zhu Zhuqing.
She was ready to begin her plan, starting by dealing with Zhu Zhuqing.
"I can't drink much." Zhu Zhuqing's alcohol tolerance is not very high. Yesterday, she only had two small sips and was already feeling the effects. If she drinks this much today, she'll definitely get drunk.
"It's okay, we have a day off tomorrow anyway, so it's fine if you get drunk. I can just take you home then," Ning Rongrong said with a smile.
"Xiao Yuan?" Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but turn her gaze to Lu Yuan.
"Drink if you want," Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.
"Oh." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then picked up her wine glass and took a small sip.
As soon as she swallowed the wine, Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed red. Her usually cool and pretty face was covered in a blush. She was the kind of person who would blush after drinking just a little bit of wine.
However, her cool and aloof demeanor paired with her rosy cheeks is actually quite alluring.
"It seems we still don't have enough drinks. Rongrong's liquor is strong, but there are so many of us and we only have five bottles. Let's bring some more."
Seeing Zhao Wuji and the others sharing a bottle of Flame Rose, Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then drank the blue liquid in his glass in one gulp, and left to find a waiter to ask them to bring more drinks.
With Lu Yuan gone, Ning Rongrong became even more unrestrained, frequently clinking glasses with Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing is an honest person. She drinks one sip at a time without hesitation and would never fake drinking.
Moreover, she and Ning Rongrong had always had a good relationship, so she couldn't possibly guess that Ning Rongrong wanted to deliberately get her drunk.
So, sipping it little by little, I soon finished half a glass of wine.
Moreover, this liquor has a high alcohol content and can easily cause a hangover, so Zhu Zhuqing was already swaying a bit.
Lu Yuan returned shortly afterward, bringing with him a considerable amount of wine.
"Zhu Qing, how much did you drink? You're so drunk." Looking at the swaying Zhu Zhuqing, Lu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He had only been gone for a short while, and Zhu Zhuqing was already so drunk.
"I didn't drink much, just this little bit." Zhu Zhuqing stretched out her delicate hand, spread two fingers, and gestured slightly, her expression carrying a hint of coquettishness; she was indeed a little drunk.
"Your alcohol tolerance is really bad. Never mind, I'll take you back first." Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's appearance, Lu Yuan said softly.
"No, I won't go back. I'll just stay in your arms." Zhu Zhuqing said, and actually snuggled into Lu Yuan's arms, then quickly fell asleep.
"You silly girl!" Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who was asleep in his arms, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh softly, gently stroking Zhu Zhuqing's long black hair, his eyes full of tenderness.
Ning Rongrong, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and her sapphire eyes gleamed with even stronger envy. She looked at Lu Yuan and a smile appeared on her lips.
The effects of the medicine would begin to kick in about an hour after taking it, so it would be time for her performance shortly after the banquet ended, Ning Rongrong thought to herself.
