Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 443 - 212: Reap What You Sow_3

Was she overthinking things?

She glanced at Ding Xiang again. Ding Xiang’s typically innocent expression was unchanged; she maintained about two fists’ distance from Han Lie, her attention fixed on the snacks on the coffee table.

It seemed she had indeed overthought it—maybe the scoundrel had just sat down randomly.

Random or not, it wasn’t acceptable!

She got up again and patted Han Lie’s shoulder. "You sit here. I can’t relax if Xiang Xiang isn’t glued to me."

I reckon it’s you who can’t relax, right?!

Han Lie complained inwardly, yet his actions were decisive—he promptly moved over.

"Sure, I’m fine with anything. Hey, drink less."

Han Lie sat back to Chen Yanfei’s right, and Chen Yanfei now sat between him and Ding Xiang.

Although her little maneuver hadn’t worked, she had at least managed to gauge a definite attitude.

This woman, seemingly easy-going, was guarding against Han Lie as if he were a thief. Or was she guarding Ding Xiang? It amounted to the same thing.

No doubt about it, if Han Lie really dared to pursue Ding Xiang, she’d absolutely try to sabotage it.

She was way too overbearing! So, you get to enjoy your "dog meat," but you won’t let our dear Xiang Xiang satisfy her cravings?!

However, it’s human nature to be a little base, and Han Lie actually found this side of Chen Yanfei quite adorable...

"Don’t worry, I can hold my liquor really well."

Chen Yanfei wrapped her arm around Xiang Xiang and raised an eyebrow at Han Lie.

Truly, there was a hint of provocation in her look, practically begging for a smackdown.

So Han Lie, without a word, filled her glass with beer, then raised his own, gesturing to her.

"Talk is cheap. How about a drink?"

"Heh!"

Chen Yanfei scoffed disdainfully, clinked glasses lightly with Han Lie, then boldly tilted her head back and drained it in one go.

Honestly, she was pretty alpha. But against me, being alpha is useless!

Brother Lie silently chanted, Get drunk!

The very next second, a crimson flush suddenly bloomed on Chen Yanfei’s fair neck, spreading upwards rapidly until her entire face glowed like a soft, ripe peach.

Incredible! That alcohol hit her incredibly fast. What a divine skill...

As Han Lie marveled, Chen Yanfei suddenly slammed her glass down on the coffee table, snatched up the microphone, and jumped to her feet!

Before Han Lie could react, she planted her left foot on the coffee table, leaned forward, braced her left arm on her knee, gripped the mic upside-down in her right hand, shut her eyes, and bellowed—

"Silence! And now, please welcome the Mandopop scene’s ultimate diva, Chen! Yan! Fei! Taking the stage in a blaze of glory!"

Silence.

You asked for silence, and silence you received.

Everyone in the room, down to the last person, was utterly dumbfounded.

Whatever they had been doing, they all froze in place, petrified, and turned their heads in unison.

Yet Chen Yanfei remained lost in her own world, eyes still closed.

"A rendition of *Love Even After Death*, dedicated to my fans! Band, cue the music~~~~~~"

She stretched that one "cue" for 3.85 seconds, with eighteen vocal runs.

The classmates were even more bewildered.

Their eyes widened as they stared at Chen Yanfei, then, one by one, they turned towards Han Lie.

Brother Lie, what the hell is going on?! many of them thought.

Many had seen the two of them toast, and then, after just one drink, Sister Fei had transformed...

Sweat trickled down the back of Han Lie’s neck as their stares bore into him.

Damn it! First time using this skill, I misjudged the strength. It’s too potent! How am I going to fix this? Definitely can’t admit it...

Brother Lie gritted his teeth and suddenly called out to Xiao Qing, who was seated by the karaoke machine, "What are you spacing out for? Queue the song!"

He then whipped out his phone, started recording, and jumped back a good distance, aiming the camera at Chen Yanfei.

"Brothers and sisters, the birthday girl is taking the stage herself! Where’s the applause?!"

"Yay! Go, Sister Yanyan!"

Ding Xiang, oblivious to everything, was the first to clap, cheering happily.

Then everyone else dazedly followed suit, and the atmosphere, strangely enough, became quite lively...

Brother Lie quietly wiped away a bead of cold sweat, his phone still aimed at Chen Yanfei, who was getting into her performance. He felt like he’d just survived a celestial calamity.

As for whether Chen Yanfei survived this... Not my problem! She clearly can’t hold her liquor but insisted on showing off. You brought this on yourself, kiddo! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The scoundrel, having tossed his shame aside, reveled in her misfortune as he began to record this precious moment.

However, the very second the music began and Chen Yanfei opened her mouth to sing the first line...

Han Lie’s head buzzed, and it felt as if the very blood in his bones surged.

Fuck! Sis, you’re my actual, biological, long-lost sister from different parents! Your little bro was so, so wrong!
