Chapter 701 Night Tour on the Boat

Wan Qingzhou was extremely unhappy that she hadn't managed to shake off Yan Heli.

But these annoyances were somewhat balanced when he saw Wen Zhiyi sitting excitedly at the small table, picking out the pastries laid out on it, eating like a little squirrel, and even inviting him to eat.

She probably didn't even realize that her eyes would light up when she was happy, and her whole demeanor would radiate joy, which would even drive away any unpleasantness around her.

He took a deep breath, sat down next to Wen Zhiyi, glanced at Yan Heli across from him who was diligently peeling oranges for Wen Zhiyi, and thought to himself that he had to get this "troublemaker" drunk first today.

Thinking this, he pulled two jars of wine from under the table and placed them on it, saying, "Take a look."

Wen Zhiyi picked up the wine and examined it, her eyes instantly brightening: "Osmanthus wine and plum wine from Xitang Village, these wines are extremely rare, how did you manage to buy them?! It's not like one of your friends got them by working in exchange, is it?"

“This time it really isn’t,” Wan Qingzhou said, half-jokingly. “I know a little martial arts, you know. Not long ago when I was begging, I helped the landlady in Xitang Village out of a little trouble. She gave me this as a thank you.”

"You take it all? You're really shameless," Yan Heli said sarcastically from the side.

“You can’t say that,” Wen Zhiyi couldn’t help but speak up for Wan Qingzhou. “He helped people first, and they were genuinely grateful. There’s no need to be so calculating. Besides, if it weren’t for this, I don’t know when I would have been able to taste the osmanthus and plum wine that the proprietress brewed herself.”

“I can buy you some if you want to drink it, Zhiyi!” Yan Heli immediately said, “But alcohol is something that can lead to trouble if you drink too much, and it can also harm your health if you drink too much. We should still be moderate in our consumption. Although the osmanthus wine and plum wine don’t have a very high alcohol content, that’s precisely why it’s easier to accidentally drink too much…”

"Alright, alright," Wen Zhiyi said, her head starting to ache again as he kept nagging, "We've finally managed to get together, let's not worry about anything else, let's drink to our hearts' content first!"

She quickly poured a glass and shoved it into Yan Heli's hand, saying, "If you don't drink it, you're not giving me face."

Yan Heli rarely drinks, and this glass of wine was suddenly shoved into his mouth. He was caught off guard and looked troubled, unsure whether to drink it or not.

Wan Qingzhou found his expression amusing, then poured Wen Zhiyi a glass and filled her own as well: "If he won't drink, I'll drink with you. Let's drink until we drop!"

Wen Zhiyi loved Wan Qingzhou's straightforwardness and immediately raised her glass: "Alright, let's drink until we drop!"

Seeing that the two were about to clink glasses, Yan Heli couldn't hold back anymore: "Wait a minute, let's all three of us clink glasses together!"

The three wine glasses clinked together. Wan Qingzhou and Wen Zhiyi downed their wine with gusto, while Yan Heli stared at the wine glass for a long time before finally closing his eyes and gulping down the wine.

In an instant, the refreshing sourness of plums and the smell of alcohol rushed up and overwhelmed him, causing him to cough involuntarily.

Seeing that his face was red, Wen Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "How are you? Want to eat some pastries to calm down?"

Yan Heli waved his hands repeatedly, fanning his mouth with his hand, and said, "This isn't fruit wine, so why is it so spicy?!"

Wan Qingzhou smiled and said, "The fruit wine from Xitang Village is famous for its high alcohol content. Are you sure you can handle it? If not, then don't drink it. Zhiyi and I will take over."

Yan Heli had originally resolved not to drink a second cup, but upon hearing the words "Is it okay?", a surge of excitement rushed to his head.

Just kidding, how can a man be impotent?!

Especially... in front of a love rival, it's impossible for you to "not be able to"!

Without saying a word, Yan Heli poured himself another glass: "I just didn't get used to the first glass, but after a couple more, I'll be fine!"

He landed and downed another glass in one gulp.

Wan Qingzhou immediately adopted a look of special regard: "You really drank it? Impressive, impressive."

After downing two glasses of wine, Yan Heli felt a little tipsy: "It's just two glasses of fruit wine. I wouldn't mind if it were stronger."

"Wow, I didn't know you were such a hidden wine connoisseur!" Wan Qingzhou quickly poured him another glass: "Here, this one is for you. Zhiyi still needs your help and care when we're at school."

Yan Heli instinctively felt that something was off about what he was saying, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After all, he really needed to take good care of Zhiyi at school.

So he cheerfully raised his glass: "No problem, no problem. Zhiyi's business is my business. I'll drink it all, you...you can drink as you please!"

As he spoke, he brought his wine glass to his lips.

Wan Qingzhou, however, did not move. Just as he was about to drink, he realized something was wrong and asked Wan Qingzhou in a daze, "Why aren't you drinking?"

Wan Qingzhou exclaimed, "Ah! Didn't you say you'd do whatever you wanted with me?"

Yan Heli then said, "Oh, right, do as you please..."

After saying that, he downed a glass of wine in one gulp.

Wen Zhiyi, who witnessed the whole thing: "..."

She coughed lightly and looked at Wan Qingzhou: "That's enough, this wine is strong, it's his first time drinking it, he's probably already drunk."

Wan Qingzhou was having a great time flirting with Yan Heli when she heard Wen Zhiyi's words, and immediately clicked her tongue: "What, are you feeling sorry for him?"

Wen Zhiyi: "?"

Seeing the look in her eyes that seemed to say, "Are you sick?", Wan Qingzhou also felt that she was probably the one who was sick.

As soon as he said it, he felt a strange sourness in his voice, but he couldn't control it.

Annoyed, he simply downed a glass as well.

The alcohol hit his brain hard, and he was able to suppress the terrible emotions he had just felt.

Wen Zhiyi was unhappy that he had done it: "Why didn't you take me with you?!"

Wan Qingzhou, who was usually able to drink a lot without getting drunk, saw that Yan Heli had just drunk a cup and passed out on the table. He no longer had any reservations and looked at Wen Zhiyi: "Do you really want to drink?"

"What do you mean, are you worried about wasting the wine?!" Wen Zhiyi said, snatching the can of wine away and gulping down her own glass. Her eyes darted around, "It's kind of no fun just drinking like this, how about... we play a drinking game?"

This was exactly what Wan Qingzhou wanted to hear. He had been thinking about how to get her drunk, but she had actually taken the initiative to play a drinking game.

You should know that he used to have a nickname: the Casino King.

Rock-paper-scissors is the most basic and least technical game; he could beat her with his eyes closed.

Then his expression turned slightly sarcastic: "Are you sure you want to try? It's a deal, you can't cry if you lose."

Wen Zhiyi immediately objected: "Who do you think you are!"

She held out her hand: "Come on!"

Wen Zhiyi had only seen others play rock-paper-scissors before; this was her first time trying it herself, mainly because no one had ever played with her before.

Now that they've encountered a veteran like Wan Qingzhou, it's hard to guarantee they won't suffer losses at the beginning.

After losing three rounds in a row, she slammed her glass on the table, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Let's play again!"

Wan Qingzhou coughed lightly: "Again?"
