"Then... two cups then."
Facing Qiao Xi's flickering eyes, Li Yan looked away slightly uncomfortably.
Hearing Li Yan's words, Qiao Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Is this guy shy?
She suddenly wanted to tease him, "Mr. Li, what if I drink two cups and still don't get drunk?"
"Then...then..."
"Then how about you promise me one thing?"
Li Yan thought about it and said, "It's okay as long as it doesn't violate the principle."
"Don't worry, it's definitely within Mr. Li's ability."
Jiang Yueyang glanced at the two of them. Things seemed to be developing in an unexpected direction.
Gu Lan said, "Miss, the bet is two-way. What if you are drunk?"
"Then I will also promise Master Li one thing."
"It's a deal."
Gu Lan responded on behalf of Li Yan, and then extended his hand to signal Jiang Yueyang and the others to take a seat. After everyone was seated, Gu Lan spoke again.
"Let's not talk too much, let's get started."
Qiao Xi moved his gaze towards the wine jar, then reached out to take it.
"Wait." Li Yan held down the wine jar, "Have you eaten?"
"Huh?" Qiao Xi tilted her head in confusion.
"Drinking on an empty stomach is harmful to your health. Eat something first."
Hearing this, Qiao Xi propped up her chin and looked at him with a faint smile, "Mr. Li is really considerate."
This deliberately teasing remark immediately made Li Yan's cheeks hot, and the atmosphere around them gradually became ambiguous.
Gu Ruo widened his eyes, and Wen Shuyan was also a little surprised.
[Ouch~] The system suddenly said, [Host, she is better at flirting than you.]
[Indeed, I didn’t expect Sister Qiao to have this side.]
Hearing this, Li Yan's cheeks turned even redder. Qiao Xi, who was just teasing on purpose, felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
The system glanced at Qiao Xi and said, "Host, your sister Qiao is not only good at flirting, but also has excellent acting skills."
【Um? 】
The system doesn’t say.
Just when Jiang Yueyang wanted to ask more questions, Gu Lan coughed heavily twice.
Hearing the cough, Li Yan immediately came back to his senses and quickly picked up the bowl beside him and filled it with rice as if nothing had happened.
He served a bowl of rice and placed it in front of Jiang Yueyang, "Miss Jiang, remember to take the hangover medicine."
Jiang Yueyang smiled and said, "I...I'll eat later."
Afterwards, Li Yan served food to Qiao Xi and the other two.
"Hmm... this chicken is really delicious." Gu Ruo's eyes were full of surprise.
Qiao Xi also tasted it after hearing this, "Hmm...it's delicious."
Wen Shuyan took a little fish and tasted it. She did not comment on the taste, but looked at Li Yan and asked, "Is the plaque outside the door written by Master Li himself?"
Li Yan nodded, "Yes."
"Mr. Li's handwriting is very good. I wonder what font it is?"
"Miss, you are too kind." Li Yan smiled slightly, "That character is a font I created myself, named Xingluo."
"Starfall? It sounds really nice. Is there any story behind it?"
Li Yan smiled and shook his head. "There is no allusion. I just wrote it down casually on a night when the morning star fell."
"The words he wrote casually can be so exquisite. Master Li is truly talented."
The two of them talked back and forth, having a very pleasant conversation.
"I have some knowledge of fonts, Mr. Li, can you..."
"I'm done eating." Qiao Xi interrupted Wen Shuyan's words, "Mr. Li, pour some wine."
Wen Shuyan swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and said no more.
Jiang Yueyang looked at this, then looked at that, and couldn't help but say to the system: [Little melon, why do I feel something is not right? ]
[The host can get rid of the feeling. The current situation is developing in a direction that the host could not have imagined. ]
【This...don't do it. 】
Li Yan and Gu Lan didn't quite understand what Jiang Yueyang and the system said. They just thought that Jiang Yueyang had a premonition that the bet would be lost, but Qiao Xi and Wen Shuyan seemed to understand.
Gu Lan looked at Qiao Xi and said, "This is the first time I've seen someone asking for defeat."
Qiao Xi cleared the thoughts in her mind and responded to Gu Lan's words with a smile, "It's not certain who will win or lose."
"You are so confident. Could you have taken the hangover medicine from Miss Jiang in advance?" Gu Lan looked at them suspiciously.
Hearing this, Gu Ruo glared at him unhappily, "We are here just to get drunk, why would we need to take hangover medicine!"
"Young master, please be careful with your words." Wen Shuyan was also slightly angry.
Li Yan kicked him.
Gu Lan apologized: "I made a mistake, please don't blame me, young lady."
"Forget it." Qiao Xi reached out and picked up the wine jar and poured himself a glass of wine. "Let's decide the winner sooner so that we can drink more."
She put down the jar of wine, picked up the glass and drank it all.
After drinking a cup of Yaoguangzui, there was no trace of blush on Qiao Xi's face and her eyes were clear and bright.
“This wine is really good.”
Seeing that she could drink one glass without getting drunk, Li Yan and Gu Lan looked at each other and found that she could really drink.
Under the gazes of several people, Qiao Xi poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Thinking that someone could also have a couple of drinks, she drank another one.
After three glasses of wine, Qiao Xi's expression remained unchanged. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Yan, "Mr. Li, I think I won."
"Hiss~" Gu Lan gasped in disbelief, "How is that possible? Three cups of Yaoguangzui are enough to make a big man drunk."
"I'm willing to accept the loss. What do you want me to do, girl?"
Qiao Xi held her chin with both hands and looked at him for a while, thinking, "How about we drink as much wine as we want today, Mr. Li?"
"Can."
"Then please ask Master Li to bring us some wine."
Li Yan responded and stood up, then dragged Gu Lan to get the wine.
After they left, Qiao Xi fell headfirst onto Jiang Yueyang's shoulder and said dazedly, "Yaoguangzui is indeed as famous as it is said to be."
"Sister Qiao, are you drunk?" Gu Ruo asked.
Qiao Xi waved her hand, "No, I just feel a little dizzy. I promised to get drunk with you, how can I get drunk before you?"
After saying that, she sat up straight and patted her cheeks, feeling a little more awake in the cold winter breeze.
Gu Ruo stretched out his hand to Yaoguangzui, "I really want to try if this wine is really that powerful."
"Don't." Qiao Xi hurriedly held the jar of wine in front of him, "If you drink this wine, we can go home directly."
Wen Shuyan opened her mouth several times, but didn't know what to say. Finally, she asked, "Sister Qiao, how come you can drink so much?"
"Maybe it's because of my dad." Qiao Xi smiled at her.
ps: I wanted to get this line back on track, but ended up with this situation...
