Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Taking the Initiative to Challenge Luo Ziling spoke thickly with the scent of alcohol, because he was so close, Ouyang Feifei couldn’t help but wrinkle her brows, but she didn’t turn her face away, just slightly turned it to the side. Yet Luo Ziling’s words made Ouyang Feifei turn her face back to him, looking at him incredulously.

The music had already started, but the two of them didn’t move and just stood there talking.

“Dance with me,” Ouyang Feifei didn’t know what else to say, so she just ordered Luo Ziling to dance with her.

It was a slow four-beat rhythm dance, Luo Ziling recognized the four-beat rhythm, but he didn’t know how to dance to it.

“Didn’t you say that you would teach me?” Luo Ziling was a bit dumbfounded.

“Didn’t you just dance quite well?” Ouyang Feifei gave Luo Ziling a contemptuous look, blaming him for feigning ignorance, pretending he couldn’t dance when he obviously could.

“Just now I was only following the rhythm and walking, any slight complication throws me off,” Luo Ziling said with a bitter smile, “You’ll have to teach me, otherwise, I don’t know how to dance to this rhythm.”

“Just follow the rhythm and walk.” Ouyang Feifei sighed helplessly, finding it hard to say what she felt about the guy in front of her. She really wanted to stomp on his foot hard to vent her frustration.

Having no other choice, Luo Ziling wrapped his arm around Ouyang Feifei’s waist and took her hand to start dancing. Ouyang Feifei’s waist was very supple, her hand exceptionally delicate and smooth, and as they danced, Luo Ziling distinctly felt these two characteristics about her.

Being so close, the two often looked each other in the eyes, Ouyang Feifei’s facial details all visible to Luo Ziling, and he could also smell the fragrance coming from her body, making Luo Ziling feel slightly intoxicated.

Added to that, he had indeed drunk a little too much, and Luo Ziling accidentally stepped on Ouyang Feifei’s foot.

Although he quickly moved away, Ouyang Feifei still frowned slightly.

Then it happened again, Luo Ziling, becoming nervous, got even more tangled up, ending up in a tight embrace with Ouyang Feifei.

“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” Ouyang Feifei was getting a bit angry.

“I really can’t dance, the alcohol is getting to me, and my steps are unstable,” after saying this, Luo Ziling suddenly feigned instability again.

His only intention was to make those observing him think he was drunk to the point of not being able to walk steadily, but the act failed and his arm accidentally collided with Ouyang Feifei’s chest. A bouncy sensation hit him, and Luo Ziling froze for a moment, as did Ouyang Feifei, who immediately showed her anger and glared at Luo Ziling.

“Let’s just forget it,” Luo Ziling felt extremely awkward and was ready to stop right there.

But the dance hadn’t ended yet, and Ouyang Feifei didn’t intend to stop halfway. She whispered for Luo Ziling to continue.

Luo Ziling had to stiffen his neck and continue the dance steps while still holding Ouyang Feifei, but he made the same mistake again. In his nervousness, he almost picked her up entirely. Although he did not lift her off the ground, the two of them ended up in a close face-to-face encounter. Luo Ziling then distinctly felt the sensation of Ouyang Feifei’s soft body pressed against his own, and even though it was only for a moment, he felt it clearly.

What surprised him, however, was that Ouyang Feifei didn’t continue to get angry but rather leaned back slightly, reminding him, “Just follow the music rhythm, and walk as you please.”

With her reminder, Luo Ziling came to his senses, quickly stood upright, and after some effort, managed to finish the remaining minute and some of the dance.

After the music ended, Ouyang Feifei pulled on his hand, “Do you really have the capability to get them all drunk?”

“I’ll give it a try,” Luo Ziling didn’t expect Ouyang Feifei to even take the initiative to pull his hand, and he couldn’t help but be a little elated.

Ouyang Feifei didn’t say anything else, and after releasing Luo Ziling’s hand, she went to talk to Ouyang Huihui.

Actually, before Luo Ziling, Chen Jiahai had asked Ouyang Feifei to dance, but Ouyang Feifei didn’t agree.

Latterly, she took the initiative to ask Luo Ziling to dance, the difference in her attitude towards the two men was starkly clear.

Naturally, Chen Jiahai saw it all and felt it in his heart.

Ling Haining also went to ask Ouyang Feifei to dance, but he received the same treatment as Chen Jiahai.

Ouyang Feifei declined Ling Haining’s invitation, citing the reason that she felt dizzy from the breath Luo Ziling exhaled during their dance earlier.

Actually, if Ouyang Feifei hadn’t taken the initiative to ask Luo Ziling to dance, nobody would have minded her rejecting anyone else’s invitation, because everyone understood that was just the kind of person she was.

But after Ouyang Feifei took the initiative to ask Luo Ziling to dance, and then refused the invitations of Chen Jiahai and Ling Haining, the meaning was completely different. This caused both Chen Jiahai and Ling Haining to feel disrespected. Although they harbored resentment towards Ouyang Feifei, they ultimately blamed Luo Ziling.

By this time, Luo Ziling himself had already taken the initiative to come over and offer a toast.

Following behind Luo Ziling were Cao Jianhui and Wu Longjiang, who were exceedingly admiring of him by now.

They each carried two bottles of Maotai liquor and several empty glasses.

When Luo Ziling had gone over and called them to help, saying he was preparing to offer a toast and needed them to carry the liquor, Cao Jianhui excitedly expressed his admiration, which was as endless as a flowing river.

Luo Ziling had drunk so much alcohol and had danced with two stunning beauties, Ouyang Huihui and Ouyang Feifei.

Though Ouyang Huihui had danced with other people too, Ouyang Feifei had danced only with Luo Ziling and rejected everyone else’s invitations.

After turning down the others, Ouyang Feifei sat down like a goddess in her own spot, ignoring everyone else.

Luo Ziling had danced exclusively with Ouyang Feifei, a goddess with a cold demeanor, and had even taken advantage of her during the dance. This invoked extreme admiration from Cao Jianhui and the others.

“Boss, you’re incredible, truly the man amongst men,” Cao Jianhui was eager to pay a tuition fee to learn the art of picking up girls from Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling invited him to join in offering the toast, and naturally, he was bouncing over happily.

Those rich young masters, whose moods were already soured, though too concerned with saving face to just walk away, were stunned to see Luo Ziling actually coming over to offer a toast. Just now, during his dance with Ouyang Feifei, everyone had noticed his unsteady steps, and they thought that Luo Ziling was about to collapse from being drunk.

That was also one of the reasons they hadn’t left immediately, wishing to see Luo Ziling embarrass himself.

But unexpectedly, the guy took the initiative and came over to challenge them, carrying four bottles of white liquor for the challenge.

“I’ve come to return the toast,” Luo Ziling had Cao Jianhui open the liquor and fill the glasses, and he first toasted Ling Haining and Ling Haijun, “Mr. Ling, it’s impolite not to reciprocate. I offer this toast to you both as thanks for your hospitality. Let’s drink together some other time when we’re free.”

Ling Haining pondered for a moment but still accepted the glass. Ling Haijun, who did not have a strong tolerance for alcohol, appeared to be a bit nervous, but he eventually took the drink anyway. Luo Ziling drained his glass in one gulp then held up his empty glass to gesture to them.

Ling Haining and Ling Haijun had no choice but to drink theirs as well.

After drinking, Ling Haijun actually choked, and his handsome face turned beet red.

“Why don’t we make it a pair,” Luo Ziling had Cao Jianhui pour another round, continuing to toast Ling Haining and Ling Haijun.

“No, no, I can’t drink any more,” Ling Haijun surrendered first. He had already consumed roughly a jin of yellow wine earlier, plus the additional three ounces of white liquor, which was more than he could handle.

Ling Haining was also reaching his limit with alcohol but didn’t want to concede in front of so many people. He ultimately grit his teeth and accepted Luo Ziling’s toast.

The others were all dumbfounded.
