It's a pity we can't eat it usually.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi said, \"Then eat your fill today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui filled both their cups, drank another cup with Chu Zheng, and then each ate a four-happiness meatball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like this, the two drank cup by cup. In less than twenty minutes, each had drunk eight cups. These eight cups of liquor looked unhurried, but that was eight liang of liquor down! The other three couldn't help but click their tongues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui was naturally fine, and Chu Zheng's drinking capacity was truly remarkable; his eyes were still clear, and he was still chatting and laughing with everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui poured liquor again. Chu Zheng stared closely at his hand pouring the liquor. He saw that Su Xinghui's hand was as steady as ever, just as if he hadn't drunk a drop of liquor, steadily pouring the two cups full without spilling a drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng gave a thumbs up, \"Fine, impressive. Don't say you've drunk so much liquor; even when not drinking, being able to pour liquor like this is impressive enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui smiled slightly, raised his wine cup again, and drank this cup with Chu Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three were also quite self-aware and didn't drink with the two who were betting on drinking; they just drank with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, after Su Xinghui and Chu Zheng each drank twelve cups, he actually took the initiative to attack the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui poured himself a full cup, raised it to Han Xiangdong, and said, \"Brother Monkey, come, I'll toast you a cup! I'll have to thank you for helping me later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Xiangdong couldn't help but be stunned. He had already drunk over a jin of liquor, and he still dared to take the initiative? But since Su Xinghui was toasting him, he naturally couldn't be impolite. He hurriedly raised his cup and said, \"I'll finish mine, you drink as you please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui raised his cup and smiled, still drinking it all in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking a cup with Han Xiangdong, Su Xinghui drank another cup each with Geng Bo and Yu Ruizhi. Only then did Chu Zheng realize that Su Xinghui's drinking capacity was unfathomable. He also really wanted to be like Su Xinghui and drink a cup with each of the other three, but he really didn't dare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could drink at most two jin, he had already drunk one jin and two liang. If he drank another cup with each of the other three, that would be one and a half jin. Looking at Su Xinghui's nonchalant appearance, he didn't know how much more he could drink. Did Chu Zheng dare to do that? If he didn't save some drinking capacity to deal with Su Xinghui, he would definitely lose today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only blush and pretend to be a coward, at least to get through this bet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui drank another five cups with Chu Zheng unhurriedly. Chu Zheng's face was already a bit red, and his speech was a bit slurred, but Su Xinghui was still the same as when he started, without changing his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng said, \"Xinghui, pour, pour, pour the liquor! Drink again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui held down Chu Zheng's hand, \"Brother Little Five, don't drink anymore! If you drink more, you'll be drunk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng said, \"It's fine, I can, I can still drink, pour the liquor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said, \"How about this, let's just end the bet today. It doesn't count. Brother Little Five, you really can't drink anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Su Xinghui knew that if he let Chu Zheng off so obviously, an unreasonable person might say he wasn't giving face. However, he knew that Chu Zheng was already almost drunk. If he really let him get dead drunk, it would not only be a loss of face but also harmful to his body, so he couldn't let Chu Zheng drink anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi naturally could see that Chu Zheng was reaching his limit. He also held down Chu Zheng's hand, \"Forget it, Little Five, don't drink anymore. Xinghui said the bet doesn't count. If you drink more, you'll really reach your limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng said, \"How can that be? Drink again, willing, willing to bet and admit defeat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi was both angry and amused, \"Alright, Little Five, just don't drink anymore. Xinghui has an alcohol-immune constitution; he's fine no matter how much he drinks. If you don't believe me, I'll drink a few more cups with him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi then drank three cups in a row with Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui drank the three cups one after another as if nothing had happened, which stunned the other three. The most critical thing was that Su Xinghui had drunk so much liquor without his face turning red or his heart beating faster, and between breaths, there wasn't even a hint of alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Xiangdong said, \"Good heavens, Xinghui, are you really alcohol-immune?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui smiled, \"I guess so. Anyway, I've never been drunk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng was convinced now. No matter how much someone can drink, there's always a limit, but this person had no bottom when it came to drinking. How could he drink with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, \"Fine, I'm convinced. I lost this bet today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Xiangdong and Geng Bo also admitted defeat one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui removed the wine cup for Chu Zheng and placed a cup of tea in front of him. Chu Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he could only accept Su Xinghui's kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui smiled, \"Brother Little Five, give me your hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng didn't understand his intention, but he was already very convinced by Su Xinghui, so he handed over his right hand as told.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui grabbed Chu Zheng's hand and pinched the Guanchong acupoint on his ring finger a few times with force. Chu Zheng was in great pain, but he still endured it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said, \"Brother Little Five, this can make you feel a bit more comfortable. How is it? Do you feel anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng really felt his head clear up a lot and wasn't as dizzy. He nodded, \"This trick of yours is really miraculous; I really feel a lot more comfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui pointed to the place he had just pinched, \"This is the Guanchong acupoint. Pinching this with force can refresh your mind. If you drink too much in the future, just pinch this with force yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng said, \"Fine, I've learned another trick today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said with a smile, \"I'll teach you another trick. On your wrist, there is an acupoint called the Neiguan acupoint. Pressing this with force can induce vomiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zheng and the others burst into laughter. After laughing, Chu Zheng said, \"Then I'll go to the restroom and try it now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui nodded. Chu Zheng didn't have the ability to be alcohol-immune. He had drunk nearly two jin of liquor; even if he wasn't drunk, his stomach would be burning. It was better to vomit it out, or it would hurt his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few minutes, Chu Zheng returned. He said with a smile, \"I feel much better now, but I'm just a bit hungry and need to eat something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi said, \"Eat, it's all you can eat today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1242,"2026-06-16T17:50:43.208Z","2026-06-16T17:54:34.477Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5f7daebb87df9af4e2dd06e295ea5f4c9db76b07f1f7e33afcab76eba268e48d","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-554","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-552",572,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-romantic-path-to-success-cover.jpg"]
