When the party began, Ning Xuan unsurprisingly became the center of attention. He stole the limelight not only from Tu Yu, but even from Jiang Chan. After she stood to toast Ning Xuan, the atmosphere of the gathering instantly reached a climax.
For the rest of the evening, everyone took turns toasting Ning Xuan. He accepted every toast, and it was impossible to tell how much he had drunk. He drank until he was swaying back and forth. He couldn't even stand properly, and when he sat in the seat Cheng Dabao had occupied, he wobbled all over.
Yet, he still tried to talk tough. "What are you all staring at? Keep... keep drinking!"
"Ning Xuan, Ning Xuan, you're drunk!" Cheng Dabao exclaimed, snatching the wine jar from him.
"I'm not drunk! Who do you think you are? Why are you telling me what to do? Get lost!" Ning Xuan yelled, snatching the wine jar right back.
