Luo Di’s red eyes stared unblinkingly at Tang Xi.
Her slender hands clasped together nervously.
Her emotions were complicated and conflicted.
She wanted Tang Xi to agree to her request, but at the same time, she did not want him to.
This would make her feel that his feelings were cheap.
Tang Xi’s bright eyes looked back at Luo Di. Without any hesitation, he said, “I’m sorry, I can’t lie to myself or you.”
Luo Di’s heart sank.
She looked up, forcing back the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.
“Then I’m sorry, but I can’t give you the life-saving pill. You know that my father has many children. For power and wealth, others will occasionally plot against my brother and me. At those critical moments, the life-saving pill can save our lives!”
Tang Xi pursed his thin lips. “I know. If you can give me a life-saving pill, I’ll owe you and your brother a favor in the future. As long as it doesn’t go against my morals, I’m willing to do anything you want me to do!”
Luo Di felt an invisible hand tighten around her heart.
He liked that woman so much that he seemed to have been bewitched!
Luo Di sniffed and asked as she choked a little, “You’re willing to do all of this for her even though she doesn’t like you?”
Tang Xi looked down, took out a lighter from his pocket and played with it with his fingers. He was silent for a while before he said lazily, “I did all this for her not because she likes me, but because I want her to be happier. Tenth Princess, do you know how it feels to see the person you like smile from the bottom of your heart?”
Luo Di looked at Tang Xi, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.
How could she not know?
She liked him. Every time she saw him smile, she was like a child who had stolen candy, her heart bursting with pink bubbles!
“Tenth Princess, I’ve liked her for more than ten years. I’ve liked her since she was still a young girl. All these years, I’ve had countless girlfriends. Every time I dated one, I would look for her shadow on them. Sometimes, I would look for someone with eyes like hers. Sometimes, I would look for someone with a mouth like hers. Sometimes, I would look for someone with hands or a figure like hers…”
As Tang Xi spoke, he laughed self-deprecatingly. “But every time night falls, I still feel very empty. No matter how much others look like her, they’re not her.”
Luo Di stared at Tang Xi in disbelief.
She had not expected his feelings for that woman to be so deep!
Compared to his feelings for that woman, her feelings for him seemed insignificant!
“Brother Tang Xi, I’m very touched by your deep feelings for her. But I won’t give you the life-saving pill so easily, unless…” Luo Di’s eyes were red, and the words she said sounded like she was angry and trying to scare him.” Unless you finish all of the wine in the wine cabinet! ”
There were bottles of strong alcohol on the cabinet: whiskey, brandy, vodka, rum, duds…
The alcohol content was as high as 75.5 percent.
It was impossible to finish the dozens of bottles of wine in the wine cabinet!
If an ordinary person drank two bottles, they would already be unable to tolerate it!
Tang Xi glanced at the wine cabinet and his lips curled up slightly. “Okay!”
Luo Di widened her eyes and looked at Tang Xi like he was a monster. “Are you crazy? This is an impossible mission and you actually agreed?”
Tang Xi took off his black leather jacket and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his firm and strong forearms.
A smile that Luo Di could not understand appeared on his handsome and devilish face. “Tenth Princess, you only asked me to finish this wine. There is no time limit. Don’t worry, I will finish it all within three days!”
Luo Di frowned.
After drinking all this alcohol, he would probably lose half his life!
Luo Di did not want him to drink this wine at all. He could have just given up. Why did he have to make that woman, who did not like him, happy?
Was it really that important to see her smile from the bottom of her heart?
The tears that had been circling in Luo Di’s eyes for a long time fell uncontrollably.
If he liked her, it would be unbearable for her to let him suffer like this.
However, he did not like her!
“You have to finish it before dawn. Otherwise, I won’t give you something so precious!”
Tang Xi pursed his lips into a tight line.
When he did not speak, Luo Di thought that he had given up and was about to let him go back to his room to rest when she heard him say with a slightly hoarse and firm voice, “Okay!”
Seeing that he would not give up no matter what, Luo Di was angry and hurt. However, she could not do anything to him. He wanted to complete an impossible task for another woman. Could she stop him?
It was only a few hours before dawn. It was impossible for him to finish all of this alcohol!
Luo Di closed her eyes and adjusted her emotions. She said, “I won’t go back on my words. If you finish it before dawn, I’ll give you the life-saving pill.”
Tang Xi did not say anything more. He put down the lighter in his hand, walked to the wine cabinet and took out the three bottles of hard liquor from the top.
Opening the bottle, he aimed the bottle at his lips.
The spicy liquid entered his throat like a knife. Even from a distance, Luo Di could feel the intensity of the alcohol.
But the man kept drinking it like he was drinking water.
Luo Di knew that he used to hang out at various entertainment venues, so his alcohol tolerance was naturally good. But who could stand drinking like this?
Luo Di’s eyes were red when she saw him finish one bottle and then the second. She turned away from him.
When he drank the third bottle, his handsome face was flushed red from the alcohol and the corners of his eyes were red. The veins on his neck were protruding and his hand that was holding the bottle trembled slightly.
Luo Di knew that this was the limit of a person.
“Brother Tang Xi, you can’t drink any more. Do you want to die?”
Tang Xi wiped the spicy liquid from the corners of his mouth and looked at Luo Di with red eyes. “Who said I can’t drink anymore? All these years, I’ve drunk more wine than you have.”
Luo Di bit her lip with her teeth. She had used too much strength and could taste blood. “Alright. Continue drinking if you can!”
After another hour, Luo Di saw that the man’s eyes were bloodshot and his face was extremely red. She knew that he was dying.
When he opened another bottle of wine and was about to gulp it down, Luo Di walked over and snatched the bottle away from him. “Enough!”
Tang Xi wanted to take the bottle back from Luo Di, but his burning stomach suddenly felt terrible.
He pushed Luo Di away and stumbled toward the washroom in the lounge.
Luo Di heard the painful sounds of vomiting and flushing.
She knew that he had to be feeling terrible right now. It probably felt worse than death.
After a few minutes, seeing that he did not come out, Luo Di went into the washroom.
Pushing open the door, she saw that he was lying on the floor, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
…
