Lan Ziye's drunken face froze for a moment before he said, "I want to go home!"

"Go home? Now?" Why did he suddenly say he wanted to go home? He just refused to leave no matter how much I tried to persuade him!

Lan Ziye nodded heavily and said, "I need a lot of essence stones to activate the magic circle before I can go home!"

Chu Xixuan finally realized that the home Lan Ziye mentioned was different from what he knew. He instantly became nervous and asked tentatively, "Where is your home? Why do you need a magic circle to get home? What kind of magic circle is it?"

Lan Ziye pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you asking so many questions? This has nothing to do with you!"

Chu Xixuan thought for a moment and then said gently, "Tell me, and I'll help you find the Essence Stone."

"Liar!" Lan Ziye gave Chu Xixuan a cold look and said, "Don't think you can trick me just because I'm drunk. I won't fall for that."

After saying that, he picked up the big bowl and started drinking.

Chu Xixuan's face was filled with black lines in an instant: Are you drinking alcohol or drinking water?

After realizing what was happening, Chu Xixuan quickly stood up and snatched the big bowl from Lan Ziye's hand.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late, Lan Ziye had already drunk up the wine in the bowl!

Lan Ziye wiped his mouth contentedly and said with a chuckle, "This wine is pretty good!"

Chu Xixuan looked at the empty bowl in his hand and felt as if a row of crows were flying over his head. He was speechless.

Just when Chu Xixuan was frowning, Lan Ziye had already set his eyes on his bowl, which was half full of white wine.

Chu Xixuan was busy protecting the bowl in front of him and said seriously, "This is mine, you can't drink anymore!"

"Tsk! How stingy!" Lan Ziye sneered and began to focus on the food in front of him.

Chu Xixuan breathed a sigh of relief. If Lan Ziye drank like that, it would be strange if someone wasn't dead. (ー_ー)!!

How nice it is now! Just eat your food obediently!

Chu Xixuan looked at Lan Ziye with a doting look on his face.

After a moment, Lan Ziye suddenly put down his chopsticks and met Chu Xixuan's gaze. He said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you looking at me?" Then he looked away and once again fell on the large bowl in front of Chu Xixuan. His eyes lit up, "You don't want to drink this wine?"

Chu Xixuan: ...It's really hard to guard against!

"Drink, of course I drank! You eat the food, eat the food!" Chu Xixuan hurriedly picked up some food for Lan Ziye and said perfunctorily.

But he felt extremely depressed: You know, he couldn't drink this big bowl of white wine!

Lan Ziye curled his lips and said, "You clearly don't have that ability, yet you're still hoarding the wine. How immoral!"

Chu Xixuan: ...What does this have to do with morality?

Chu Xixuan picked up some more dishes and placed them on Lan Ziye's small plate. He said, "Eat quickly! Once you're done, we'll leave early!"

Lan Ziye thought for a moment, tapped his head again, and said suddenly, "That's right! There's a competition this afternoon!"

Chu Xixuan: ...How rare, even after all this, you still remember the competition this afternoon!

The two of them ate for a while longer. Chu Xixuan saw Lan Ziye put down his chopsticks and sat blankly in his seat. He looked at him and asked, "Are you done eating?"

Lan Ziye nodded hesitantly.

Chu Xixuan stood up and said, "Then let's go!"

Lan Ziye nodded hesitantly again, stood up, and followed Chu Xixuan obediently.

Just as the two were about to walk out of the private room, Lan Ziye suddenly turned around, rushed to the table behind him, picked up the big bowl of white wine, and started drinking it.

Chu Xixuan was stunned. Is this still the Lan Ziye he knew?
