Chapter 155: Half-baked

The night on the mountain was pitch black. Liu Mazi discussed the matter and, since everyone hadn't relaxed like this in a long time, they decided to light a fire outside and eat meat and drink wine around the campfire.

"This bowl of wine is a toast to the second-in-command!"

Wang Pangzi stood up and, without waiting for Yuan Siyin's response, downed the entire bowl in one gulp.

"Good! Fatty's got guts!"

Upon seeing this, everyone cheered and applauded.

There was no reason not to return a toast offered by someone, so Yuan Si smiled, picked up the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

"The second-in-command really has a good capacity for alcohol!"

The atmosphere around her was warm and cozy, and with the warm wine she had just drunk, Yuan Siyin's cheeks quickly flushed, making her look stunningly beautiful.

Yu Shiyan was originally sitting opposite her, but Fatty Wang wanted to tease her, so she got up and switched seats with him, waiting to see the second-in-command make a fool of himself.

"Second-in-command, you've worked so hard these past few days, everyone has seen it, and I respect you too!"

Yuan Siyin didn't refuse, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, then put down the wine bowl and smiled: "I didn't actually do anything, you guys are just making things too hard for me."

Fatty Wang poured another full glass of wine, but this time he didn't drink it himself. Instead, he handed the bowl to Yuan Siyin and said, "Second Master, you're being disrespectful by saying that. You should be punished!"

Since she was in a rare good mood today, Yuan Siyin glared at him with a smile and readily took the bowl: "If you're so capable, come back tomorrow to drink the penalty wine again."

The fat man snorted irritably, "Goodness, everyone saw it. They're trying to trick me. They're making me go tomorrow, aren't they just determined to teach me a lesson?"

Everyone burst into laughter. Yu Shiyan watched silently as she drank half a bowl, then pressed her hand down, forbidding her from drinking any more.

The noise around her was too loud, and Yuan Siyin only saw his lips move, but she couldn't hear what he said.

Helpless, she could only tilt her body and bring her head closer to him: "What did you say?"

Yu Shiyan frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his handsome eyes, and said softly, "Don't drink anymore."

Yuan Siyin was somewhat dismissive: "It's just one bowl, I'll finish it and stop drinking."

After waiting for a long time, Fatty Wang finally saw the two interact. He quickly gestured for everyone to quiet down: "Oh my, our Second Master finally has someone who cares about him! Second Master, you'd better keep an eye on him. How can we let him keep drinking like this!"

"Fatty, are you itching for a beating?"

Yuan Siyin gave him a smile that concealed a dagger, her words carrying an unspoken threat.

I still haven't played enough.

Faced with her threats, the fat man subconsciously swallowed, but then he thought that since everyone was there, even if he angered the second-in-command, he wouldn't be the only one to take the blame.

At the very least, Liu Mazi should be dragged down with him.

Liu Mazi had already seen through his intentions, and hurriedly went to stand behind Yuan Siyin to take his side.

Yuan Siyin could only sigh helplessly.

The fat man went a bit too far, making such a joke in public. Not only would he be embarrassed, but Yu Shiyan would also be embarrassed.

Yu Shiyan pursed his lips, took the remaining half bowl of wine from her hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Good! That's a real man!"

Fatty Wang immediately led the applause: "Not bad!"

Yuan Siyin panicked a little, kicked the fat man, and helped him away without saying a word.

Drinking in the village is not like drinking in the palace. The small cups are delicate and exquisite, and they use large bowls. Just that half bowl was enough for him to drink several cups.

She remembered clearly that Yu Shiyan was only a half-baked drinker; a few drinks were fine, but he couldn't handle any more than that.
