Liu Nian placed the wine on the table, then bent down slightly, about to leave, when someone spoke up: "Who said you could leave? Didn't your supervisor tell you why you were here?"
Liu Nian had a bad feeling and asked, "...They really didn't say that."
One of the men scoffed, assuming he was just playing around, and reached out to pull him into his arms.
Liu Nian dodged, but he lost his footing and fell towards the table behind him.
Suddenly, a loud cracking sound came from the table, and several expensive bottles of liquor fell and shattered on the floor.
Liu Nian fell to the ground, right at Jing Baisen's feet.
At first, he didn't look at Jing Baisen, nor did he stand up. He just stared at the wine on the ground, his eyes filled with blazing fear.
These drinks aren't cheap; even selling them wouldn't cover the losses.
Seeing Liu Nian smash so much alcohol at once, the men in the private room immediately became furious and started cursing at Liu Nian.
Liu Nian silently stood up and said, "...I can compensate."
The boy in the man's arms, who used to be one of Liu Nian's colleagues, feigned sympathy, but his eyes were full of schadenfreude, and said, "Liu Nian, even if I sold you, you couldn't afford to pay for it."
“How can you not afford to pay?” Liu Nian stood there, neither humble nor arrogant. “If you really think I can’t afford to pay, then you can go and call the police.”
Liu Nian's words immediately drew laughter from the crowd.
However, what Liu Nian said wasn't wrong; if you feel he can't afford to pay, you can indeed call the police.
“Why make such a big deal out of calling the police?” Another man thought Liu Nian was not only good-looking but also had a very interesting personality, and he really took a liking to him. “Come and have a few drinks with Brother Long, and this matter might be resolved. If you really call the police, you’ll end up in jail.”
Liu Nian smiled at Brother Long and said, "Going to jail is fine, I'll only be there for a few years and then I'll be out. That'll be the end of it. It's better than letting this little thing bother me for the rest of my life, Brother Long, don't you think?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Long's face turned extremely ugly. "A whore has already entered a place like this, what are you pretending to be, a chaste and virtuous man!"
“Even if I’m faking it, it’s because I want to,” Liu Nian said without ever glancing at Jing Baisen. “You don’t need to worry about how hypocritical this bitch of mine really is.”
For a moment, everyone in the room was at a loss as to what to do with him, and even felt a little embarrassed.
The crowd, now quiet, all turned to look at Jing Baisen without prior arrangement.
Liu Nian, who had been standing there the whole time, finally turned his foot and looked at Jing Baisen, waiting for his punishment.
He sounded so fearless, but if he really had to go to jail...
He was definitely going to fail at this mission.
If there is room for maneuver...
Jing Baisen stared at the boy like this, observing him for the first time.
Having been around for so many years, Jing Baisen had seen all sorts of people, so he could naturally see the slight unease in Liu Nian's eyes.
It was that slight tremor that made him feel somewhat lost in thought.
Liu Nian was putting on a brave face, but he was also afraid; he knew it.
Jing Baisen just looked at him, kicked the table with his foot, and said, "Drink all the wine on the table, and you can leave."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately found it interesting.
There were at least a dozen bottles of wine left, and they were all quite strong. Even someone with a high alcohol tolerance would probably not be able to handle it.
and……
It's easy to imagine what would happen to Liu Nian if he got drunk here.
But to everyone's surprise, Liu Nian smiled directly at Jing Baisen after hearing those words.
Jing Baisen stared at it, momentarily lost in thought.
Liu Nian smiled and said, "Then, Mr. Sen, if I get drunk, can you take me away? If not, then I dare not drink anymore. You'd better call the police directly."
Jing Baisen just sat there, with an emperor-like demeanor, looking down on everyone under his nose.
But this same person, faced with such a request, smiled and said, "If you can't finish it, then don't even think about me taking you away. If you finish it, even if you drink yourself to death, I'll bury you myself."
Liu Nian smiled and said, "Okay."
Then, fearing that Jing Baisen might not remember the way last time, Liu Nian seriously told Jing Baisen where he lived and told him to take him home if he got drunk.
After saying that, Liu Nian simply picked up two bottles of wine, sat down next to Jing Baisen, and started drinking.
Let's give it our all!
So what if I drink myself to death? I might as well just go to the next world.
Compared to water, this wine is quite harsh on the throat.
Liu Nian just sat there, gulping down bottle after bottle, not wanting to wait for the alcohol to take effect in his body, treating it like water.
Bottle after bottle went down, Liu Nian didn't even catch his breath. He didn't care what would happen after drinking all this; he had no intention of getting out alive.
He felt dizzy and his stomach was bloated. He vomited once, and while he was vomiting, he grabbed two more bottles of wine from the table. After he finished vomiting, he didn't even flinch and started drinking again.
Everyone was stunned.
When people say someone is reckless, it's usually just an exaggeration... but this person in front of me is genuinely reckless.
When Liu Nian held the last bottle of wine in his hand, he was almost unconscious.
All he knew was that once he finished this bottle of wine, it would be over. If he survived, there was still room for maneuver in this mission world.
But to everyone's surprise, the wine in his hand seemed to be snatched away and smashed on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he was picked up and carried.
Liu Nian felt his body being moved, as if he were in a car.
In his eyes, all he saw were the neon lights of the city.
Liu Nian had no interest in appreciating the scene. He vomited again in the car, saying, "The money... 3,000 yuan... the foreman hasn't given it to me yet..."
Jing Baisen: "..."
And so, Jing Baisen brought Liu Nian to the apartment building. He carried him through the building, which had no elevator, and they walked up six floors before finally arriving at what he called "home".
The doors to this rental room are all broken, and the lock is a chain.
Jing Baisen supported Liu Nian, and frowned repeatedly as he smelled the stale water in the building.
Why can people live in this place?
A perfectly good college student, instead of living on campus, chooses to live here. What good plans could he possibly have?
