Zhang Luo's restaurant chain is spread across various districts of Haishan City. Each branch has its own specialty dishes. The Guanglin branch mainly serves Sichuan cuisine, but there are also some local dishes and signature dishes available. After eating there a few times, Wang Bai already knew the two girls' dietary restrictions and preferences, so he ordered the dishes quickly and confidently.
After confirming the order, he asked for a box of beer. Today, he was well-prepared and not at all afraid. When Liu Yan and Jin Xiaoli arrived at the restaurant, they called to ask where he was. Finding the private room, they saw him sitting there calmly. Jin Xiaoli put down her bag and smiled, "Oh, you're really putting on airs today, too lazy to even come out and greet us. What if I make you drink as punishment?"
Liu Yan exchanged a glance with her, both remembering the last time he was almost begging for mercy after being forced to drink. They giggled. Wang Bai said nonchalantly, "I was just ordering the dishes. If you want to make me drink as punishment, go ahead. I'll drink until you're satisfied today."
Jin Xiaoli deliberately looked around and then under the table. Wang Bai asked curiously, "What are you looking for?" "I'm looking for Lu Yan," she said seriously, "I'm afraid no one will come to your rescue later, and you won't be able to go home."
"Haha..." Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh, then she played the peacemaker, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. Let's have a peaceful meal. Xiaoli, don't always provoke Wang Bai. You know how he drinks. What if he really gets drunk?"
"It won't happen!" Wang Bai waved his hand. With his new drinking skill, he was very confident, "I'm not boasting, but you two won't be able to outdrink me, even if you drink beverages."
Jin Xiaoli snorted, "Yan, did you see that? It's not that I don't want to let him off, but he's asking for it. I have to make him submit today."
"Wait a minute," Wang Bai raised his hand, "Even if I have a good tolerance, I can't drink endlessly. If you want to make me drink, fine, but you have to set a limit. How much do I need to drink today to satisfy you and put this matter to rest?"
"Let's see how it goes," Jin Xiaoli waved her hand impatiently, "I'll drink with you, three for you and one for me."
Wang Bai's eyes lit up, and he had a mischievous idea, but he still sounded hesitant, "That doesn't seem right. What if I make you drunk..."
Liu Yan calculated in her mind. Jin Xiaoli could handle one bottle of beer, and Wang Bai could handle about two bottles. If Jin Xiaoli drank one bottle, Wang Bai would have to drink three. Wang Bai would definitely be the first to fall. So she said, "Alright, let's agree on this. Three for you and one for her, I'll be the witness. If you get drunk, it's your own fault, not his."
Jin Xiaoli also said, "What do you think, Wang Bai? It's not too late to back down. I'm not easy to deal with. If you accept, you can't back out or make any discounts."
"There's one more thing," Wang Bai thought for a moment, "Who goes first?"
Jin Xiaoli wanted to say, "Of course, you go first," but then she thought that if she went first, she could take the initiative and see his pained expression, forcing him to beg for mercy. So she smiled slyly, "I'll go first. I'll drink one, and you'll drink three. How about that?"
This increased the difficulty. Three for one was already unfair, and drinking continuously was even harder. The old Wang Bai would have frowned and cried, "Spare me, lady!" But now, he was very confident, so he slowly said, "Alright, three for one, you go first, and Liu Yan will be the witness!"
At this moment, in the dance club classroom of Guanglin Middle School, a girl was doing warm-up exercises, occasionally glancing at the clock. The hands pointed to 6:05.
When the food and drinks arrived, Jin Xiaoli saw that Wang Bai had ordered a box of beer and looked at him as if he were an alien, her eyes full of disbelief. She chuckled, "Wang Two Bottles, you don't plan to go home today? Can you finish all this beer?" Wang Bai's drinking capacity was about two bottles of beer, and the girls had given him the nickname "Wang Two Bottles" in private.
Liu Yan interjected, "If you can't finish, you can return them. Come on, let's eat. I'm starving." She had been waiting impatiently, but she didn't want to eat alone while the other two didn't start.
So the three of them started eating. After tasting the chef's specialties, Jin Xiaoli tapped her empty glass with her chopsticks and smiled provocatively, "Wang Bai, shall we start?"
"Sure," Wang Bai, having eaten enough to pad his stomach, was eager to avenge his previous defeat and had been waiting impatiently, "Liu Yan, please open four bottles of beer. Three for me and one for her."
Seeing that they were about to start, Liu Yan wiped her mouth and helped, opening the beers and passing them over. Then she sat down and said, "Drink within your limits. Don't ruin the harmony. Hehe, you two go first, I'm still eating."
Jin Xiaoli filled her glass and looked at Wang Bai with a sidelong glance, then took a sip and quickly drank it down.
While she was drinking, Wang Bai was pouring the beer, and as soon as she put down her glass, he quickly drank one, poured another, and drank it, finishing three glasses without flinching.
"Smooth!" Jin Xiaoli was pleased, then took a bite of food, "But this is just the beginning." She needed a break to let the alcohol take effect before continuing, confident that he wouldn't last past the third round. Wang Bai calmly invited them to eat, and he also kept eating.
"Wang Bai, you didn't just look at Xiaoli yesterday. Just apologizing to her isn't enough, right?" Liu Yan suddenly spoke and exchanged a glance with Jin Xiaoli. They both laughed slyly at Wang Bai.
"Then draw the line," Wang Bai, nonchalant, popped a peanut into his mouth. From his demeanor, it seemed he could handle even another Liu Yan.
"I won't make it hard for you. So, I'll drink a beverage, one for one. How about that?" Liu Yan tilted her head and negotiated, but this was already the lowest standard. She still disapproved of Xiaoli's approach and didn't want to push Wang Bai too hard.
But Wang Bai didn't appreciate it. Today, he was determined to turn the tables on them, so he said, "How about this? You know my limit. If Liu Yan also drinks, I'll drink two for one. How about that?"
This way, he would drink five for two, and the two girls would share the load. Jin Xiaoli slapped the table, "Alright! Yan, agree to it!" She also gave her a meaningful look. This was a great opportunity, and they had to make him drink until he begged for mercy!
Liu Yan hesitated. She really couldn't drink, but with Jin Xiaoli pushing her, she thought: Wang Bai has already had about one bottle. If I drink one more with him, he'll be close to his limit. If Xiaoli drinks with him again, he'll have to give up before I have to drink a second time. Good! So she agreed to the plan.
Next, it was Liu Yan's turn to drink with Wang Bai. Yanzi struggled with her drink, clearly not a regular drinker. After finishing, she stuck out her tongue, "Wow, so bad."
The two girls looked at Wang Bai, who remained as calm and composed as ever, drinking two glasses in quick succession and then continuing to eat. Jin Xiaoli started to doubt: Wang Bai should be close to his limit, but he doesn't show any signs. Was he faking it last time?
Despite her doubts, she now had a partner and was still confident in making Wang Bai beg for mercy. She estimated that she could drink four to five glasses, and Yanzi could drink two, totaling at least eighteen glasses, or about six bottles, which would definitely exceed his limit.
Feeling confident, Jin Xiaoli smiled smugly, thinking that Wang Bai would definitely fall to her this time. Ten minutes later, her expression turned serious. After another round, Liu Yan's face was already flushed, but Wang Bai, after five glasses, just burped and looked normal.
By now, he had already drunk at least three bottles with no reaction. Jin Xiaoli felt she was being toyed with but still held out hope and didn't want to admit defeat.
After a five-minute break, she picked up her glass again. This time, she drank more slowly because her tolerance wasn't much better than Liu Yan's.
After she finished, she wiped her mouth and pointed at Wang Bai, demanding that he drink. Wang Bai looked at their faces, made up his mind, and was about to pour the beer when his phone buzzed with a text message.
Wang Bai didn't rush to check the message. He first poured the beer and said hesitantly, "You know, I don't have a great tolerance. This round will probably be my limit. I hope you two will stop here."
Then he drank a glass of beer and shook his head, "Ah... I can't... I need a break." Jin Xiaoli didn't see through his act, thinking victory was near and couldn't let it slip away, urging him to drink faster.
So he drank each glass slowly, complaining that he couldn't drink any more and would vomit. But after three glasses, he still showed no signs of being affected, just frowning and pretending to have a headache.
Jin Xiaoli was getting anxious, thinking, "Why aren't you falling yet?" She urged, "Yanzi, just one more, just one more, and he'll definitely be done."
Liu Yan, feeling dizzy and not eating, shook her head, "I don't know if he can, but if I drink one more, I definitely can't."
Jin Xiaoli sat next to her, poured her a glass, and held it out, "Just one more, just one more. Come on, I know you can do it."
"Ugh..." Liu Yan was almost in tears but pouted and took the glass, saying to Wang Bai before drinking, "Wang Two Bottles, are you really, really done? You're not lying, right?"
After drinking like this, she still called him "Wang Two Bottles." Wang Bai thought, if I were "Wang Two Bottles," I could drink two more bottles after everyone else is done.
"Yes, I'm really, really almost done," Wang Bai secretly added a word, which made a significant difference.
But Liu Yan, in a daze, didn't hear clearly and nodded with a pained face, "If you lie to me, I won't let you off..." She then drank the glass of beer like it was bitter medicine, putting the glass down and immediately covering her mouth to stop herself from vomiting.
Wang Bai shook his head, seemingly helpless, and started pouring the beer, checking his phone, "Why, why, I said to stop, but you kept pushing... Oh no! I have to go!"
