Chapter 6: Drinking Contest
"It's still early, how about we go for a drink. -- --" Xiao Ran, who had just finished dinner, suddenly suggested.
Without waiting for Lu Wanqi to speak, Tang Shuo said, "Let's go back. With two beautiful ladies like you here, it would be bad if we ran into bad people."
He went shopping with the two girls after breakfast in the morning.
In one day, he had visited four large shopping malls alone, and his bodyguard naturally became free labor. If it weren't for the spacious back of the Wrangler, the things he bought would have been too full.
Just as the ordeal was about to end and he could go back to rest, Tang Shuo never expected that such a disaster was waiting for him.
"Okay." Lu Wanqi ignored Tang Shuo's suggestion and nodded, "It just so happens that we haven't been out playing for a long time."
Tang Shuo made a bitter face and asked, "You've been walking around all day, aren't you tired?"
"Of course not." Xiao Ran said proudly. "Hurry up and drive. I heard there's a new bar up ahead. The environment is pretty good. Let's go check it out."
Tang Shuo sighed and then walked towards the parking lot.
Seeing Tang Shuo walking away, Lu Wanqi pulled Xiao Ran and asked, "Are we really going?"
If Xiao Ran hadn't desperately winked at her just now, she would definitely not have agreed.
She and Xiao Ran are both public figures. If they were recognized in the bar, it would not be good for them at all. Lu Wanqi believed that Xiao Ran must know this.
"Of course." Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously and replied. "Why not?"
"What exactly do you want to do?" Lu Wanqi asked suspiciously.
Xiao Ran hugged Lu Wanqi and whispered in her ear, "How about we get Tang Shuo drunk?"
"Ah..." Lu Wanqi covered her chest and said in surprise: "What do you want to do? Don't do anything rash."
"I heard that people often speak the truth when they're drunk. Let's find a way to get him drunk, and then we can find out his background." Xiao Ran said with a smile, "Don't you want to know where this guy came from?"
Lu Wanqi's eyes lit up and she nodded, "What if this guy has a good alcohol tolerance?"
"Don't you know how much I can drink?" Xiao Ran said proudly. "Besides, can't the two of us handle him alone? At worst, we can just resort to some tricks later."
Lu Wanqi thought about it and then slowly nodded.
Xiao Ran's grandfather was the director of a winery, and her family used to live in the winery. It can be said that she grew up surrounded by the smell of alcohol.
The last time she brought Xiao Ran to her home, Xiao Ran ended up getting her father, who was always drinking, drunk.
Hearing the sound of a car horn nearby, Xiao Ran nodded to Lu Wanqi, and then the two of them walked towards the car.
The Bense Bar that Xiao Ran mentioned was not far from Tang Shuo and the others. They arrived there in less than ten minutes by car. After Tang Shuo parked the car, he led the two women inside.
This bar named "Bense" has always been a boutique bar, and its main customers are white-collar workers working nearby. Therefore, compared with the smoky and chaotic atmosphere of ordinary bars, the environment here is better.
But this is only relative. After all, places like bars are still a mixed bag.
There was a huge dance floor in the center of the bar's hall. When Tang Shuo and his companions entered, a little-known folk singer was sitting on the stage and singing.
Tang Shuo looked around at the surroundings and then walked towards the second floor with the two women.
The slightly dim environment seemed unable to conceal the radiance of the two women. Although both of them wore sunglasses that covered their cheeks, their unconcealable figures were enough to make the surrounding beauty hunters salivate.
Faced with the pairs of shining eyes around him, Tang Shuo had no choice but to stand beside the two women and unnoticeably block the big-headed flies that squeezed over to take advantage of them.
The second floor of the bar is composed of separate booths. Due to the lighting, the second floor cannot be seen from the first floor, but the second floor can have a panoramic view of the entire first floor environment.
After the three of them walked to a booth in the corner of the second floor, Xiao Ran directly ordered two bottles of White Horse whiskey and a fruit plate from the waiter.
Although the White Horse Whisky brand is well-known, it is relatively niche in China and not many people know about it.
When Tang Shuo heard Xiao Ran's words, he smiled with a hint of amusement.
White Horse Whisky is a strong liquor, and is known for being the most rustic. Its aroma is particularly noteworthy, as it's a scent few people would appreciate except for the most avid drinkers, let alone two women.
He originally thought that the two girls just wanted to have some fun, but he didn't expect that they were targeting him.
"I want to see what you are planning to do." Tang Shuo thought to himself.
The waiter put down the wine and fruit plate neatly and then left. Xiao Ran immediately took off his sunglasses that covered most of his face, opened the bottle of wine and asked, "Tang Shuo, how much can you drink?"
When it comes to curiosity about Tang Shuo, Xiao Ran is just as curious as Lu Wanqi.
As for Tang Shuo's excuse that he was just an unemployed vagrant, Xiao Ran wouldn't believe it even if he tried to think with his butt.
How could he be an ordinary person with such abnormal fighting power?
"Not bad," Tang Shuo replied. "I can't drink much."
"Oh." Xiao Ran nodded, poured two glasses of wine, and immediately handed one to Tang Shuo, saying, "Then let's drink less. Let's have a toast first."
Tang Shuo picked up the wine, clinked it with Xiao Ran's, and then deliberately frowned and said, "This wine looks a bit strong. Let's switch to beer. It would be bad if he gets drunk."
"It's okay." Xiao Ran said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not afraid of a woman like me, so what should you, a grown man, be afraid of?"
After saying that, Xiao Ran put the wine glass to his lips, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Tang Shuo secretly praised in his heart, then poured the wine in the glass into his stomach with a bitter look on his face.
The two girls' little conspiracy was not very clever. After Xiao Ran drank a glass of wine very happily, Tang Shuo had already seen through it.
They probably planned to use Xiao Ran, who seemed to have a good alcohol tolerance, to get them drunk and then harm them.
It turns out that it was because I was too handsome that I got into trouble! Tang Shuo thought helplessly.
Xiao Ran and Lu Wanqi exchanged a glance, then poured two more glasses of wine. Xiao Ran picked up the glass and said to Tang Shuo, "Come on, good things come in pairs, let's have another drink."
Tang Shuo, who had just picked up a piece of watermelon, shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, the alcohol is a bit strong. You guys drink first, don't worry about me."
Whatever you do?
Seeing Tang Shuo showing weakness, Xiao Ran would not let Tang Shuo go, and said generously: "I'll do it first."
Under the gaze of the two women, Tang Shuo had no choice but to pick up the wine and continue drinking.
Xiao Ran looked at Tang Shuo who had downed two cups in a row and asked doubtfully, "Are you okay? Didn't you say you couldn't drink much?"
Whiskey has a strong aftertaste, especially when consumed straight without any soft drinks like now. After two glasses in a row, even Xiao Ran felt a little uncomfortable, but Tang Shuo was as calm as ever.
Tang Shuo shook his head and said, "It's okay, but I can't drink too much."
Xiao Ran winked at Lu Wanqi beside him, poured Tang Shuo a fresh drink, and then poured a little more for Lu Wanqi beside him. "Wanqi, you and Tang Shuo have a drink."
Lu Wanqi bit her teeth lightly, picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's have a drink."
Tang Shuo picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Lu Wanqi's. Without exposing the other person's trick of there being only a bottom of the wine in the glass, he drank it all in one gulp.
Then Xiao Ran helped Tang Shuo pour...
As they drank and chatted, a blush appeared on Xiao Ran and Lu Wanqi's faces, making the two already beautiful people even more charming.
"Tang Shuo, can you still drink?" Xiao Ran burped, suppressed the smell of alcohol, and asked with a frown.
The two bottles of wine were almost empty. Lu Wanqi, who had a low alcohol tolerance to begin with, had drunk the least, but she was already on the verge of losing consciousness. Even she was about 70% tipsy, but Tang Shuo, who had drunk the most, sat across from her calmly.
How can this be considered as not being able to drink alcohol?
Tang Shuo smiled secretly in his heart and replied, "No, I'll get drunk if I drink any more. Let's go back."
"No. I'm going to the bathroom. We'll continue when I come back." Xiao Ran refused, then stood up and walked towards the bathroom unsteadily.
How can I give up now when I am about to succeed? Otherwise, all the drinking will be in vain.
The restroom was not far from the booth, and Tang Shuo's position was just right for seeing the whole picture, so Tang Shuo did not follow, but just observed carefully.
After Xiao Ran left, Lu Wanqi picked up her wine glass again and said to Tang Shuo, "Come on, let's..."
Before she could finish her words, she fell headfirst onto the table.
…………
"Brother Qi, do you think that woman looks like Xiao Ran?" A young man with a pointed chin and monkey-like features pointed at Xiao Ran who had just come out of the bathroom and said to a bald man in his forties who looked quite strong next to him.
"Who?" The bald man known as 'Qi Ge' stopped and turned around to ask.
"It's Xiao Ran who sang 'Lovesickness Becomes a Thread,'" the young man said excitedly, "Brother Qi, it's her, it's Xiao Ran."
"Are you seeing right?"
"No doubt about it." The young man said with certainty, "I didn't expect Xiao Ran to come here."
"You guys go collect the bills first." Brother Qi touched his bald head and said to the men in black behind him. "I'll go over and toast the big star."
The men in black standing behind Brother Qi nodded, then walked towards the third floor of the bar. The young man who spoke first took Brother Qi to the booth where Tang Shuo was.
…………
"Hello Miss Xiao Ran, nice to meet you."
Xiao Ran was about to pour the wine when he was interrupted by the voice of a strange man next to him. He looked up at the man with dissatisfaction and then said politely: "I'm sorry, this is just a private party. Could you please not tell others?"
"No problem." Brother Qi smiled and said to the young man beside him, "Go get two bottles of wine. I'll toast Miss Xiao."
The young man nodded and immediately walked towards the waiter.
"Sorry, this is just a private party."
Brother Qi seemed to have missed the refusal in Xiao Ran's words. He glanced around and, upon seeing Lu Wanqi, already passed out drunk in the booth, his smile widened. "Miss Lu, I didn't expect you to be here too. I like you, too."
"..." Lu Wanqi, who was already unconscious, naturally would not answer the other party's questions.
At this time, the young man who was first called out to get wine came over with two bottles of wine.
Brother Qi took the wine and said to Tang Shuo, who was sitting alone on the other side of the booth, "Brother, come inside and have a drink together."
Tang Shuo frowned and said coldly, "Get lost."
