Chapter 86

Just after meeting, he went out to eat with someone, which wasn't a good idea, so Liu Hao politely declined Xu Shaoqin's enthusiastic invitation. After all, eating someone's food and accepting their favors would make one feel indebted. Even if it was just a casual meeting, there should be a proper atmosphere and process, right?

Moreover, although Xu Shaoqin's current goal was very clear, who knew if he was using public funds to go out and drink? If someone with ill intentions exposed the matter online, Liu Hao would be accused of violating the Central Eight Provisions.

However, a subsequent phone call changed Liu Hao's mind.

Xu Shaoqin actually knew Li Xiaopeng and called him personally to explain the situation. As a result, Li Xiaopeng called Liu Hao, and the situation changed.

Li Xiaopeng also attended the dinner...

Yinzhoushi was a small city, but Qingdao was a well-known big city. How come it seemed so small, where everyone seemed to know each other?

If Xu Shaoqin's school was a private aristocratic school, it would be normal for him to be familiar with Li Xiaopeng, but it was just an ordinary school. Liu Hao couldn't understand how Xu Shaoqin managed to invite Li Xiaopeng.

Li Xiaopeng should be full from eating and be buried in his study, researching tactics for the match against Shandong Luneng tomorrow, right?

There's a match against Shandong Luneng tomorrow. Could he have forgotten? Liu Hao thought to himself, even though Shandong people are very generous with drinking, they should still know the priorities, right?

Since the head coach had made the decision, what could he say? Liu Hao always listened to his superiors and was very good at eating, having done so for ten years, which was why he had his current physique.

However, the few female doctors and nurses Chen Yiyun called to accompany them had some unromantic ideas.

Perhaps they thought they were called to drink, so the three young, well-endowed women kept toasting Liu Hao.

Liu Hao, of course, refused and signaled to Li Xiaopeng.

How could Li Xiaopeng help? He had already been drinking with Chen Yiyun.

Was it that he couldn't control himself in front of beautiful women? This didn't seem like Li Xiaopeng. The rumors weren't true...

While they were chatting and laughing, Liu Hao was pushing his glass around.

"I really can't drink strong liquor; I have a match tomorrow." He deliberately raised his voice, hoping Li Xiaopeng would hear, but Old Li seemed like a caged bird, his eyes bright, like an underground party member who had been deep in the enemy's ranks for years, with no sign of wavering, staring straight at Chen Yiyun.

It's over... Liu Hao sighed inwardly.

Don't old men usually like young girls? Why is his taste a bit different?

"I'll just have some cola."

"That won't do. What man drinks cola? Besides, cola can reduce sperm count, hehe." One of the nurses laughed, not avoiding any topic, clearly used to such situations.

"Then can I have some milk tea?" Liu Hao smiled bitterly.

"Artificial or natural?" Another nurse with a prominent chest asked, deliberately swaying in front of Liu Hao.

"Does milk tea come in artificial and natural forms?" Liu Hao was confused. Could milk tea be squeezed from trees?

"Ha ha, Little Brother Liu," Xu Shaoqin, in high spirits, explained, "This beauty's milk tea is artificial, and this beauty's milk tea is natural. Which one do you prefer? Ha ha, ha ha ha."

Xu Shaoqin pointed at the two nurses and laughed wildly.

Liu Hao suddenly felt his tongue dry. It seemed that drinking some milk tea wasn't bad?

...So that's how it is. It turns out that whether artificial or natural, it's all milk squeezed out...

The conversation at the dinner table couldn't escape such vulgar and yellow jokes.

"Shall we have some Tian Di No. 1?"

"Hey, we in Shandong don't drink Tian Di No. 1. If you're worried about drinking affecting your state, we can have some local drinks. Qingdao has a medicinal wine, only 11 degrees, the same as beer, but it doesn't get you drunk and has health benefits." Xu Shaoqin laughed.

Medicinal wine?

Drinking a bit would be beneficial.

From Liu Hao's experience, drinking a couple of cups of medicinal wine was indeed good for the body. More importantly, this medicinal wine could dilute his grape medicinal wine, reducing the dosage, achieving two goals at once. In other words, one bottle of grape medicinal wine, after exchanging with medicinal wine, could become two bottles.

"This can work..." So he agreed readily, but he didn't notice the mischievous glint in Xu Shaoqin's eyes.

Xu Shaoqin didn't lie to Liu Hao; the wine indeed didn't get him drunk.

But it made him feel hot.

After the first cup, Liu Hao found the taste of the wine much better than the Haiwang wine from Yinzhoushi, not sweet, not strong, not light, but smooth and fragrant.

So he drank the second cup, since it didn't get him drunk and didn't affect his physical state.

But after eating, he found something was wrong with his body.

His head was clear, but he felt very hot. If it was just the heat from drinking, Liu Hao could understand, but the heat he felt was like a surge of blood.

He must have taken the wrong medicine, a 'spring' medicine. That was his first reaction.

As soon as he thought that, his body immediately responded, and a certain part quickly reacted.

What a powerful effect!

Although he was very clear-headed, looking at the fragrant and alluring women in front of him, he felt a burning fire.

Damn! Not possible! A 30-year-old man, although a bit older, after such a dose, the reaction was no worse than a young man's.

This medicinal wine must have a problem!

Street medicine...

He could even hear his heavy breathing.

After several deep breaths, he barely suppressed the urge and went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water.

But the clearer he became, the stronger the feeling.

A tent suddenly rose, the construction speed could be listed in the Guinness World Records.

If it weren't for the bag in front of him, he wouldn't know how to leave the bathroom.

"Little Brother Liu, you're not drunk, right?" Xu Shaoqin asked knowingly, with a deep and meaningful smile.

"Nothing, just feeling a bit tired, want to go back and rest early. There's a match tomorrow." This sentence was said with great difficulty.

"Right, the match is important. Xiao Fang, you'll have to work hard and help me send Little Brother Liu back." Xu Shaoqin turned and instructed.

This sounded like a conspiracy.

If this girl sent him back, and he couldn't control himself in the car, he would be pinned down directly.

"No, no, I can't trouble you. I'll take a taxi back." Liu Hao broke out in a cold sweat, feeling something was off, but he couldn't figure it out.

"What are you talking about? It's no trouble at all. If I don't send you home safely, I'd be worried. Xiao Fang, you take Little Brother Liu back. It wouldn't be good if he couldn't rest properly."

"No, no, she drank, and driving after drinking is dangerous. I'm more worried. I'll take a taxi!" Liu Hao firmly refused, "You should send Coach Li back. He seems to have had a lot..."

Li Xiaopeng indeed looked a bit dazed, his eyes unfocused. Was he really that happy today?

"..." Xu Shaoqin didn't expect Liu Hao to be so stubborn, refusing to budge. If it were another man, the outcome would be obvious.

"Alright, but for safety, Xiao Fang will take a taxi to send you back. That should be fine, right?"

Xu Shaoqin was determined to send him! He had planned everything.

Liu Hao almost fainted, but if he kept arguing, his body might get even more out of control, so he finally gave in...
