[Ding! The "Crazy Alcohol Metabolism" system is now equipped!]
A barely perceptible warm current, like hot spring water, instantly surged through Qin Xiao's body. He felt as if he had taken a warm bath, and for the time being, he didn't feel anything particularly strong.
very good.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Nie Beini, who had already set up her display and had several bottles of various colored liquors piled up in front of her. A confident and composed smile appeared on his lips.
"Since Miss Nie is so hospitable..."
"Then I, Qin, will accept the offer without hesitation."
"Tell me, how would you like to drink it?"
When Nie Beini saw that he had finally agreed, a hint of triumphant pleasure flashed in her green eyes, as if she could already foresee his ugly state of being drunk and muddled later.
"Good! That's refreshing!"
"Let's skip all the fancy stuff and start with the simplest thing!"
"Count to seven, and if you make a mistake or hesitate, have a drink!"
"good."
Qin Xiao readily agreed and picked up the full beer glass in front of him.
Then, the sound of crisp counting and clinking glasses filled the private room, interspersed with Nie Beini's smug giggles and Su Wanying's occasional attempts to dissuade her.
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
"Four!"
"five!"
"six!"
"Pass!"
"eight!"
...
At first, it was just ordinary beer. After several rounds, Qin Xiao remained calm and composed, as if he were only drinking bubbly malt water.
Nie Beini frowned slightly, realizing that things couldn't continue like this, and immediately increased the difficulty.
"Boring, let's change! Two brothers, huh! Five champions! Six six six!"
The sound of finger-guessing games then rang out, the rhythm getting faster and faster, and the atmosphere gradually became more and more lively.
Qin Xiao remained composed, handling both his punches and calls with ease, as if he were drinking sweet spring water rather than strong liquor.
Nie Beini got a little anxious and switched to guessing the dice to see who was bigger. The dice cup rattled loudly in her hand.
She refused to believe that this scoundrel could keep going like this forever!
However, half an hour passed quietly.
The table was piled high with empty wine bottles—white, red, yellow, and foreign—a complete and dazzling array.
Nie Beini herself felt a little dizzy, her delicate cheeks were flushed with two alluring blushes, her eyes began to become somewhat dazed, and her speech was even a little slurred.
But Qin Xiao, on the other hand, apart from his face being slightly redder than before and a few beads of sweat on his forehead, still had clear and sharp eyes, and even a calm and composed smile that made her angry just looking at him.
What happened?
Is this guy a reincarnation of a wine barrel?
How come he drinks without his face turning red or his heart skipping a beat? He hasn't even been to the toilet once!
Nie Beini became increasingly alarmed and resentful as she drank, and she drank even faster than before.
At this moment, Qin Xiao was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.
It feels numb when I squeeze it! System, you call this a tiny bit of improvement?!
I feel like I'm sitting right next to a huge, blazing furnace!
That indescribable heat was surging out of my body in a continuous stream, and the sweat on my forehead had gathered into streams that slid down my cheeks.
His shirt was already soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to his skin, and the collar made it hard for him to breathe, as if invisible flames were burning every inch of his skin.
He resisted the urge to immediately loosen his tie and tear his clothes, picked up a glass of ice water next to him and gulped down several mouthfuls, trying to suppress the increasingly intense burning sensation.
But the effect is minimal.
As the alcohol was rapidly metabolized, the enormous amount of heat generated far exceeded his expectations.
If this continues, before Nie Beini gets him drunk, he'll probably faint from the heat caused by this damn system side effect.
Qin Xiao took a deep breath and decided to make a decision.
If it's hot, just take it off! There's no one else here anyway!
He reached out and deftly unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt, then with a sudden jerk, ripped the soaking wet shirt off his body and casually draped it over the back of the chair next to him.
The movements were executed in one fluid motion, carrying a touch of wild untamed power.
Under the soft lighting inside the private room, the well-defined muscles of his upper body were instantly exposed to the air.
Smooth and powerful pectoral muscles, well-defined abdominal muscles, firm V-lines... The skin is healthy and snow-white, with a faint blush due to the rise in body temperature, and sweat slowly slides down the clear skin texture, reflecting an extremely alluring luster.
Even more strangely, as he took off his shirt, a faint, indescribable, cool and refreshing fragrance wafted out. The fragrance was not strong, but it was exceptionally unique. Mixed with the scorching heat emanating from his body, it created a strange and deadly attraction.
The private room fell silent instantly, as if the air itself had frozen.
Su Wanying and Gu Siqing were both stunned, their beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder, and they unconsciously softened their breathing.
They knew Qin Xiao had a good physique, after all, they had been "open and honest" with each other before, but now, under the influence of alcohol and lights, the visual impact was undoubtedly even stronger!
Especially that unique fragrance emanating from him, it was simply... enough to make one's heart tremble.
Nie Beini was also somewhat stunned. The alcohol had completely numbed some of her nerves, making her already bold and unrestrained nature even more out of control.
She stared dazedly at Qin Xiao's well-defined chest and abdominal muscles, her gaze almost glued to them. Then, instinctively, she reached out her hand and gently touched those warm, firm, and wonderfully textured muscles.
