Chapter 1274: The Vicious Yet Adorable Mascot
There seemed to be an invisible magnetic field between Si Yiyan and Xu Zhenyu that repelled everyone else around them. It was as if it was a battlefield that belonged solely to the two of them. Others… seemed irrelevant at this point.
Even Wen Xinya was excluded.
Xu Zhenyu poured the wine attentively and slowly. His every action seemed natural and graceful. The red wine that he poured into the gla.s.s was beautiful and alluring. It looked extremely dreamy, aloof and posh beneath the bright lights, its aroma slowly wafting into the air.
Moments later…
The six gla.s.ses were arranged in a single row, looking extremely captivating beneath the light.
The bright red liquid set the mood for everyone. Xu Zhenyu then gestured for them to begin while everyone cheered on. “Drink up! Drink up! Drink up!”
Si Yiyan remained composed while staring at the ruby-like wine. “Pour six more gla.s.ses!”
Wen Xinya’s eyes widened in shock that she was unable to recover from.
Everyone began cheering excitedly. “Pour the wine, pour the wine, pour the wine.”
Zhou Tianyu arranged six gla.s.ses in a row again.
Xu Tongxuan then grabbed the bottle of red wine and began filling the gla.s.ses with wine gracefully and joyously. Everyone could hear the melodious sounds of the wine being poured into the gla.s.s.
Wen Xinya frantically s.n.a.t.c.hed the wine away from Xu Tongxuan and snapped. “Hey, hey, I haven’t agreed to it yet. Why are you guys pouring the wine?”
She would never allow Si Yiyan to drink on her behalf. Twelve gla.s.ses of wine would take a huge toll on his health and he definitely wouldn’t be able to take it, especially since he was advised against alcohol during this period of time.
Besides, it was clearly stated that we would be done after chugging three gla.s.ses each. Why does Si Yiyan have to down 12 gla.s.ses in one go? That’s how much four people are supposed to drink. Since Si Yiyan knows that Xu Zhenyu is out to give him a hard time, is he really just going to fall into the trap? That’s so silly!
Gu Junling guffawed and said, “Xinya, it’s cooler over there. Go sit there. Don’t get involved when men are drinking.”
Ling Qingxuan chimed in loudly. “Yeah! You women are in no place to interrupt. Go over there and watch us.”
Han Mofeng chuckled and said, “Women only deserve to pour the wine.”
Xu Zhenyu whistled at Wen Xinya smugly.
Turning pale in exasperation, Wen Xinya glowered at them and said, “You guys are a bunch of narcissistic male chauvinists. We’re already in the modern era. Cut it out.”
Xu Tongxuan and Zhou Tianyu were laughing uncontrollably. Frankly speaking, they had never seen Wen Xinya so angry before. Indeed… women often become brainless when in love.
Of course, they did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
“What’s wrong with women? Women can conquer the world too!”
Xu Tongxuan added, “All of you will be bachelors without women.”
Indeed, three women made a market four a fair.
Si Yiyan glanced at Wen Xinya and said, “Be good, go and play with Tianyu and Xuanxuan. Leave the drinking to us men.”
He then ordered some snacks that Wen Xinya usually liked eating.
Wen Xinya was extremely exasperated. “Who said that drinking is men’s business? Us women can drink too. Quit the gender discrimination. Since we can drink on behalf of each other, I’ll drink on behalf of him.”
Xu Tongxuan and Zhou Tianyu immediately cheered excitedly.
Zhou Tianyu said, “Xinya, you really are a strong woman.”
Xu Tongxuan smiled and said, “Xinya, why don’t you just say that you’re taking pity on your man and that you want to drink on his behalf? You made yourself out to be so high-sounding.”
Wen Xinya ignored them and instead grabbed the gla.s.s of red wine in front of Si Yiyan in a bid to chug it.
At this moment, Xu Zhenyu gibed. “Mr. Si, you’re really capable, huh? You’re making a woman drink on your behalf.”
Hence, Wen Xinya could not bring herself to continue drinking the wine. She could tell the malice in his words.
She seemed to have embarra.s.sed Si Yiyan with her behavior.
Si Yiyan grabbed the gla.s.s in Wen Xinya’s hand and said, “You’re right. I’m indeed very capable to have found a woman like Xinya who’s willing to drink for me.”
His words had struck a sour note within Xu Zhenyu, whose face grew sullen.
Everyone could not help but find the battle intense.
Si Yiyan chugged the gla.s.s of wine in one go.
Everyone applauded and cheered. “Hooray!”
He proceeded to chug his second, third, fourth and fifth gla.s.s…
In the blink of an eye, Si Yiyan had already finished six gla.s.ses of wine and still remained as composed as ever. He did not turn red at all.
Everyone would cheer on whenever he finished a gla.s.s of wine.
He proceeded to finish his sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth gla.s.s…
There were only three gla.s.ses of wine left on the table and Si Yiyan was still calm and collected. He continued to drink the gla.s.ses of wine unhurriedly.
Xu Tongxuan and Zhou Tianyu were incredibly amazed by Si Yiyan’s a.s.sertiveness when he drank the wine. They cheered loudly. “Press on! Press on! Press on!”
Wen Xinya stared at Si Yiyan nervously, for fear that something would happen to him because he had downed a great amount of wine on an empty stomach.
Si Yiyan placed the ninth gla.s.s on the gla.s.s coffee table while Xu Tongxuan and Zhou Tianyu continued to cheer him on.
Xu Zhenyu had a complicated expression on his face and he no longer felt as thrilled as he was at the start.
Staring at the remaining three gla.s.ses of wine, Si Yiyan stood up and walked towards Xu Tongxuan gracefully. He asked, “May we exchange seats?”
“S… Sure!” Xu Tongxuan instinctively sprung up from the couch and sat down beside Zhou Tianyu.
Si Yiyan slowly sat down beside Wen Xinya and placed his head on her shoulder. “What do I do? My head is spinning!”
Xu Zhenyu was just getting ready to declare that Si Yiyan had broken the rules and was preparing to punish him by making him down another three gla.s.ses. However, he almost bit his tongue after hearing his words.
Wen Xinya immediately said, “Leave the last three to me.”
The few of them were dumbfounded. Were we just hallucinating? What happened to that uncompromising G.o.d who was drinking the wine with gusto just now?
He’s probably just a vicious but adorable mascot.
Gu Junling and the guys could not help but call him shameless in their head.
Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan were extremely dizzy and bewildered. They watched as Si Yiyan leaned on Wen Xinya’s shoulder and played cute. How adorable!
He can be dominant but he can also be cute. What a perfect man!
They chose to forget the fact that he had let Wen Xinya drink on his behalf.
