James was truly intoxicated by the alcohol. Although he wanted to refuse Liza Wang's "kindness," his body's instinct made him accept the chopsticks she offered.
Of course, he didn't know how to use them. James had been in China for quite some time, but he still couldn't use chopsticks. So, he not only took the chopsticks but also the bowl of food.
Actually, this is a bit embarrassing... But, embarrassment is embarrassment. The feeling of being drunk is really unpleasant, to the point that James was a little slower than usual.
Even if you're only a tiny bit slower than usual, that's still slower.
So, almost subconsciously, I took the bowl and chopsticks, and then, in a very strange posture, I shoveled the food into my mouth.
Surprisingly, it's quite delicious.
Crispy and delicious.
that is……
It's too spicy.
The next second, James felt as if his tongue was on fire...
People from Xichuan love spicy food. Although Yun Dazheng's family are not native to Xichuan, they have lived there for several decades, so their eating habits are not much different from those of the native Xichuan people.
Since Liza Wang said she wanted some snacks to go with her drinks, and stir-frying dishes would take a while, the first thing Yun Qi made was a plate of cold cucumber salad.
Because it was freshly mixed, Yun Qi was worried that the dish wouldn't be flavorful enough, so she made it a little spicier on purpose.
James has been in Xichuan for quite some time now, and he occasionally eats a little bit of spicy food, but he still can't eat spicy food like a true Xichuan local...
So, my tongue, my throat, and finally my stomach all felt like they were on fire.
Liza Wang is a bit of a sly fox. The moment she saw the bowl of cucumber salad Yun Duo brought over, she knew it was going to be spicy. She enjoyed it, but a foreigner like James probably couldn't handle it.
However, he didn't remind him, but just urged James to eat some food to suppress the smell of alcohol, and then 'casually' poured half a glass of wine into James's glass.
He actually wanted to pour a glass, but in order not to make his intention to get James drunk too obvious, he only poured half a glass of wine.
James was already tipsy from drinking too much alcohol and couldn't stand the spiciness. All he could think about was water. He didn't even need Liza Wang to deliberately hand him the glass; James just picked it up and started drinking it in big gulps.
“Hey, James, no, don’t drink this, it’s not…it’s not alcohol…” Seeing James’s actions, Liza Wang couldn’t help but feel a little smug, but she still pretended to stop him. And then…as expected, she ‘failed to stop him.’
After downing several large mouthfuls of strong liquor, James belatedly realized that he hadn't been drinking water. He immediately spat out the last bit of liquor from his mouth, pointed at Liza Wang, and cursed, "Fuck!"
Liza Wang looked completely innocent: "James, you can't blame me for this. I tried to stop you, but I couldn't."
"Fuck!" James cursed again, then turned to confront Yun Duo.
After all, the food was brought by Yunduo.
Liza Wang was entrusted with helping Yun Duo, so of course she wouldn't let James cause trouble for Yun Duo. She quickly helped him up and said, "James, come, come, don't get angry. Sit down quickly so you don't get dizzy. But speaking of which, I never noticed before that you can't drink."
