Chapter 72 You're Drunk
Lu Jiunian was holding a glass of wine. Upon hearing this, he glanced down at Shi Nianzhi.
Ding Qianqian was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Shi Nianzhi, because Shi Nianzhi, being such a well-behaved child, didn't seem like she would drink alcohol.
He wanted to get Shi Nianzhi drunk and then embarrass her.
I never intended to involve Lu Jiunian.
So Ding Qianqian quickly smiled and smoothed things over, "How can that replace drinking? Playing games requires a spirit of the game; you can't ask for outside help."
Lu Jiunian finished the wine in his glass and placed it on the table with a light touch. "Okay."
Ding Qianqian didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly. He had just finished trying to smooth things over for Lu Jiunian, thinking he had a high EQ, when Lu Jiunian himself stepped in.
Ding Qianqian: "......"
Shi Nianzhi gently touched the dice cup lid with her finger. "But he said we can't ask anyone for help."
Ding Qianqian immediately fawned, "I must have remembered the rules wrong. It's okay, right?"
He even specifically asked the people who were there to play with him.
The others dared not contradict Lu Jiunian and readily agreed, "Yes, that's fine."
The game has begun.
The people who were playing with Shi Nianzhi exchanged glances, meaning they should give way.
If they let Shi Nianzhi lose the first round right away, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to Third Master and make them seem like they don't know how to handle things?
After several rounds, Shi Nianzhi did not lose.
Shi Nianzhi scratched his head; this was not quite what he had expected.
He had also planned to use this game to get Lu Jiunian drunk, but he didn't expect to be so lucky tonight, not losing a single game.
After Jiang Kai finished singing, he went out to answer a phone call. When he came back, Shi Nianzhi was playing games.
After hearing that Shi Nianzhi had lost to Lu Jiunian in drinking, Jiang Kai snapped his fingers and said, "Come on, let's change a few people."
It just so happened that someone else also thought the game was boring, so they did him a favor by saying, "Brother Jiang, you play, I'm going to go sing karaoke."
"Okay, go ahead."
Fresh blood has joined the ranks.
Sitting next to Shi Nianzhi, Jiang Kai received a cold look from Lu Jiunian and then pouted, "I know."
There was a person's distance between him and Shi Nian.
Then the game started.
Shi Nianzhi gloriously lost the first game.
He tugged at Lu Jiunian's sleeve, and Lu Jiunian picked up his wine glass and drank the wine.
The second game, the third game...
After drinking several cups in a row, Lu Jiunian stopped chatting with others. He let Shi Nianzhi sit on his lap, held him, and stared at the game.
"continue."
A man's low, cold voice.
Some of those present, who weren't mentally strong, even trembled a little.
If Third Master finds out that they were deliberately making things difficult for Jiang Kai at his behest, they're probably doomed.
Jiang Kai's men all looked at him.
Jiang Kai coughed and laughed, "Why are you all staring at me? Am I exceptionally handsome today? Just have fun as you please. Don't make it seem like we're targeting Third Master's wife. There's nothing going on here, are you feeling guilty?"
Everyone shook their heads, none of them daring to admit it.
Lu Jiunian curled his lips into a smile that carried a hint of coldness. He shook the dice cup with Shi Nianzhi's hand in his, "I'll call out first since I'm the loser."
The situation reversed instantly.
Shi Nianzhi did not watch Lu Jiunian drink another glass of wine.
In reality, Shi Nian is a poor student, but when it comes to games, his mind is incredibly sharp and quick-witted.
He has already mastered the rules and has even started calculating the dice rolls and point rates present.
I don't know how someone with such a poor academic record could calculate all this, but Shi Nianzhi could always calculate precisely which number to call in a round to guarantee a win, which number to call to guarantee a loss, and which number was already the limit and would be called even if he didn't want to. He would also look at his dice and guess whether the odds of winning or losing were higher.
After Lu Jiunian played a few rounds, Shi Nianzhi whispered, "I want to play by myself."
Lu Jiunian looked down at Shi Nianzhi, who was well-behaved, quiet and harmless.
He probably still feels some guilt about what happened before. After all, he's the kind of person who wouldn't openly apologize to Shi Nianzhi, but he might tolerate it.
For example, in drinking games, he has a high alcohol tolerance, so it's not that he can't afford to play.
Consider it a chance for Shi Nianzhi to practice.
Lu Jiunian leaned back lazily on the sofa and nodded, "You can play."
Shi Nianzhi regained control of the game.
"16 fives."
"open!"
"Enough, Young Master Shi, you lost. With so many of us, we definitely have 16 fives."
"I... I'm not very good at it, but... then drink it."
Shi Nianzhi handed the wine glass to Lu Jiunian.
Jiang Kai: "Sixteen sixes."
Shi Nianzhi said, "Open! Two cups."
Jiang Kai: "Four cups."
Shi Nianzhi shouted enthusiastically, "Eight cups!"
Jiang Kai was about to shout again when Lu Jiunian reached out his long, slender hand and took the wine glass. "Eight cups, I'll drink."
Shi Nianzhi quietly stuck out her tongue, "I, I still wanted to call for sixteen cups, why did you give up?"
Lu Jiunian gave Shi Nianzhi a cold look, and Shi Nianzhi quietly shut up.
Ding Qianqian said in a disdainful voice, "Shi Nianzhi, you just lost to us last time. Everyone told you that with so many of us, we definitely have 16 fives."
"But this time it's a 6."
"......"
Ding Qianqian rolled his eyes, but out of respect for Lu Jiunian, he didn't say anything more.
How can someone so stupid even play games?
Then......
Shi Nianzhi kept losing, but he didn't care. When they were drinking, he shouted the loudest and worked the hardest.
He had a fierce attitude, like, "I may be stupid, but I can overwhelm you with my aura."
This left Lu Jiunian with no other option.
He had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and because he hadn't eaten dinner, his stomach was burning up. He rubbed his stomach with his hand.
Lu Jiunian read the numbers very carefully, he hesitated for a long time every time he called out a number, but it was all useless, he would basically lose as soon as he called out a number.
He doesn't know how to play at all. He insists on calling out numbers until no one else can, then they have to open his dice cup, and then he loses, or he opens the dice cup that everyone else clearly has won.
He has no brains at all and can't be flexible. If he weren't so stubborn and had chosen a conservative number, he wouldn't have lost every single game.
Lu Jiunian drank another glass of wine. He turned his face away, not wanting to look at Shi Nianzhi, that idiot, any longer. He was afraid he would lose his temper and yell at her the next second.
Today was the first time he had brought Shi Nianzhi out, so no matter what, he couldn't yell at him in public; he still had to give him face.
Jiang Kai suddenly burst into laughter while playing.
As he shook the dice, he looked at Shi Nianzhi's serious profile and figured out something.
Jiang Kai asked intentionally, "Little Niannian, what's wrong with you? Why do you lose every single game?"
Shi Nianzhi mumbled, "Maybe I just don't know how to play, my luck is bad..."
Taking advantage of Lu Jiunian's absence, Jiang Kai leaned close to Shi Nianzhi's ear and whispered with a hint of teasing, "Alright, stop losing. Do you think your husband is stupid? If you keep losing like this, everyone will know you're doing it on purpose."
He's clearly a master, but he doesn't scheme to win; he schemes to lose every single game.
There is a certain probability involved in rolling dice. Even if you are a complete novice or have the worst luck, you won't lose every time.
In this kind of game, the one who wins every time isn't necessarily a master, but the one who loses every time definitely is.
Jiang Kai added, "I never would have guessed, Xiao Nianzhi. Your husband says you're clumsy, but it turns out you're quite the expert."
Shi Nianzhi was not good at lying, and since Jiang Kai had seen through him, he could only remain silent.
However, what Jiang Kai said made Shi Nianzhi take it to heart. From then on, Shi Nianzhi started playing the game casually and did not continue to lose.
Strong liquor has a strong aftereffect, and Lu Jiunian felt slightly drunk. He pressed his temples and said, "It's about time to dissipate."
Jiang Kai was still somewhat unsatisfied, but Lu Jiunian had already spoken.
Jiang Kai pushed the wine cup and dice cup forward, "Alright, alright, hurry up and disperse. Don't wait until Third Master comes to his senses and finds out that you ganged up on his people, and then he comes after you."
The group dispersed noisily.
Ding Qianqian was fairly satisfied, after all, seeing how stupid Shi Nianzhi was, he felt relieved.
So he stopped causing trouble and dispersed.
At the entrance of the Drunken Master.
Lu Jiunian took Shi Nianzhi's hand and got into the car.
Shi Nianzhi noticed that although Lu Jiunian reeked of alcohol, he showed no signs of being drunk, which made him frown slightly.
How can someone have such a high alcohol tolerance?
He deliberately forced him to drink for so long, but he still had clear eyes and acted as if nothing had happened.
Shi Nianzhi felt that all those brain cells she had died for nothing.
It's better to save it for homework.
He died a worthy death, at least.
Shi Nianzhi rested her chin on her hand, watching the scenery rushing past the car window, feeling somewhat dejected.
Lu Jiunian held Shi Nianzhi's hand, their fingers intertwined, and placed it on his knees. His head rested against the soft chair, and he closed his eyes as if he were asleep.
The car arrived at the villa's entrance.
Shi Nianzhi was about to open the car door and get out when she found that her hand was being held tightly by Lu Jiunian.
Helpless, he stepped back and shook Lu Jiunian, "We're home. Go home and sleep."
After a long while, Lu Jiunian opened his eyes and stared absently at a spot.
The driver glanced back and chuckled, "Third Master is drunk."
"Drunk? How did you know?"
"I've driven for Third Master for so many years, I can still tell the difference."
The driver got out of the car and helped Shi Nianzhi help Lu Jiunian out of the car. Lu Jiunian then leaned on Shi Nianzhi's back.
It was quite a struggle for Shi Nianzhi, with her small frame, to carry Lu Jiunian; she almost collapsed under the weight.
With a driver helping out, Shi Nianzhi carried Lu Jiunian back home.
bedroom.
After the driver left, Shi Nianzhi closed the door.
He turned to look at Lu Jiunian, who was leaning against the bed.
Shi Nianzhi walked over and poked his cheek. "Hey, are you drunk?"
Lu Jiunian suddenly reached out and grabbed Shi Nianzhi's hand in his palm, squeezing it tightly, and said in a very serious tone, "Don't leave me."
Shi Nianzhi felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart, pain that Lu Jiunian was drunk, and pain that he was about to get close to the truth.
“Look at my face.”
Shi Nianzhi stood in front of Lu Jiunian, his hand, which was not in Lu Jiunian's grasp, was clenched into a fist.
Lu Jiunian looked up, his eyes somewhat unfocused, as if shrouded in a thick fog, obscuring both the outside world and his thoughts.
Shi Nianzhi reached out and cupped Lu Jiunian's face in her hands, her voice incredibly gentle, "Who am I?"
