Suddenly, a voice interrupted her thoughts: "Xingyu, congratulations on winning the street photography competition. Come on, cheers!"
She looked up to see an editor from Cloud Magazine holding up a glass, smiling at her to clink with her juice. She couldn't help but smile too, mustering the energy to clink glasses and down the juice.
People laughed and heckled, one after another coming to clink glasses with her.
Su Xingyu then realized she still lacked experience at the drinking table. She thought not drinking alcohol would be fine, but who knew these people could be terrifying even with juice, as if they wouldn't stop until she was down? "No more, no more," she laughed, pleading for mercy, "If you keep going, I'll burst from all this juice even if I don't get drunk!"
"That's what you get for dodging alcohol! Haha, serves you right!" They relentlessly plied her with drinks.
