How Should I Drink?
"Is that so …. Brother Lin, tell me then. I'll pay attention next time!" Ganglou thought to himself. But it was too late!
"What I'm trying to say is that you can't hold your liquor well, so you should drink less. It's usually too much, a third is fine …." Lin Yi said.
"Wha?!" Ganglou felt his blood rush to his head, and the alcohol rushed to his head as well- he almost passed out. A third was fine? A third? Why didn't he say that earlier? Why ….
Jianwen, Taizao, and Taiwei were all looking at Ganglou with sympathy and indignation. It wasn't that Lin Yi didn't have the time to tell him- he could've said it when Ganglou was drinking, there was no need to wait for him to finish before saying it!
One thing was for sure: Lin Yi was toying with Ganglou! No matter how much Ganglou drank, Lin Yi would always say something to piss him off.
As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the game more clearly than the onlooker. Ganglou, on the other hand, couldn't see through Jianwen's ploy. He felt that he was a strategist, someone with superior intelligence, someone who specialized in scheming against people. But in the end, he'd never schemed against Lin Yi. How could he accept this?
He didn't need to drink that much, and yet he'd stupidly drank half a bottle! What a strategist!! Ganglou's eyes were seeing stars, and the alcohol kicked in when he got angry, causing him to collapse on the table.
Jianwen frowned- wasn't this Ganglou's mental fortitude a little too weak? How was he supposed to be a strategist like this?
But everyone else at the table had taken turns drinking with Lin Yi, and the kid had drunk six bottles of baijiu already! Why was he still acting like nothing had happened? Did he grow up in a wine vat? But Jianwen couldn't just let it go- there was no way he was going to stop now that the fight had started. Wouldn't stopping mean he was admitting defeat to Lin Yi?
Fuck! Admitting defeat was fine if no one was watching, but Lin Yi was playing with his phone, recording everything that was going on! His image would be ruined if Mengyao saw this!
"Let's continue!" Taiwei gritted his teeth- House Su wasn't like House An, and they had to rely on Jianwen for a lot of business. His cousin was one of the Songshan Young Masters, but his influence was far below House An's! House An had some influence in the province, while House Su's was limited to Songshan.
House An had some influence in the province, but Su's House Su's was limited to Songshan.
"Haha, I was just worried that I wouldn't have an opponent!" Lin Yi said as he eyed Taiwei. The guy was really putting his life on the line!
Taiwei opened a bottle of Maotai, hesitating for a bit before asking, "Three …"
His limit was five bottles, but that was limited to drinking slowly and steadily. He wouldn't be able to last much longer if he kept drinking like this! His stomach was hurting, and Taiwei had no choice but to show his weakness. He wanted to ask Lin Yi if he could drink one third of what he said earlier.
But Lin Yi didn't give Taiwei a chance to speak. "Wei Bro is the best, not like that weak guy from before! He passed out after drinking half a bottle! Wei Bro chugged it down to the bottle- nothing happened! How else would he call him Wei Bro? He'd just call him Weak Bro! Right? "
"I …" Taiwei's face was green. Can't you fucking wait until I'm done? Can you? Can you?! Taiwei was cursing, but Lin Yi's words had already goaded him to this point. He couldn't bring up the one third thing anymore, wouldn't that make him Weak Bro? Taiwei had no choice but to say, "Alright, but I didn't drink it in a rush, please forgive me!"
"Haha, it's fine!" Lin Yi smiled as he raised the bottle in front of him and downed it in one gulp.
Taiwei sighed. He had no choice but to copy Lin Yi, picking up the bottle and chugging it down one mouthful at a time. He had to change his breath a couple of times in between before finishing the bottle! It seemed like Taiwei was at his limit now.
Taiwei wanted to cry when he saw that Lin Yi was fine, his face still red and without a hint of tiredness. How the hell did he have to compete in drinking with a psycho like this? He wouldn't have competed in drinking if he'd known this was going to happen, even if he had to compete in eating shit!
"Should we continue?" Taiwei couldn't take it anymore. He'd downed four bottles already, and while five was usually his limit, he'd basically throw up afterwards. But he couldn't do that now, and could only hold it in.
"Not anymore." Lin Yi shook his head, and Taiwei let out a long sigh of relief. Jianwen and Taizao, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief as well. But they were a little weird- why wasn't Lin Yi continuing? Could he be at his limit as well? That couldn't be! But it was fine as long as he didn't continue- it didn't matter if he was at his limit or if he'd found his conscience!
"It's good that he's not continuing- there's no point in competing like this anymore- it's so boring drinking bottle after bottle!" Taiwei said in agreement.
"It is, and that's why I've decided to stop!" Lin Yi smiled. "Let's play something more interesting, shall we?"
"Wh … What's interesting?" Taiwei suddenly felt that something was wrong when he saw that bright smile on Lin Yi's face. Had he been tricked? What was Lin Yi up to?
"Waiter, bring me some red wine!" Lin Yi called out to the door.
"Oh? Red wine? "Taiwei blinked, but was overjoyed! The alcohol content of red wine was far lower than white wine, and he'd be able to hold out for a while if they'd switched to red wine!
Taiwei felt that Lin Yi was probably at his limit as well- he'd had four bottles, but Lin Yi had seven! What did seven bottles of white wine mean? He'd be lucky if he didn't drink himself to death!
Perhaps Lin Yi was just putting on a good show, making people think that he was fine. Otherwise, why would he switch to red wine? Taiwei was afraid that Lin Yi would change his mind again, and quickly called out. "Waiter, red wine! Hurry up! "
"Yes, coming!" The waiter carried a case of red wine into the room- he'd had experience with beer and white wine before, so he didn't need to be told to bring the case of red wine in.
Jianwen and Taizao breathed out in relief as well- they'd really been afraid that Taiwei wouldn't be able to hold out and collapse, but it was fine now. Taiwei would definitely be able to hold out for a while if they were competing in red wine.
Jianwen put the two bottles on the table- one for Lin Yi, and the other in front of Taiwei.
