Chapter 533: Chapter 534: Will Not Be Fooled Again

He Xing’s stomach was already full, although he wasn’t drunk yet, he was struggling to drink any more. He leaned slightly back, hesitating whether to continue drinking.

He watched Ji Liangchuan gobbling down barbeque with a sneer in his heart. This guy had previously mocked him for needing to eat something with his drinks. Now it looked like he was about to give in, which is why he reached for food to settle his stomach.

With that thought, He Xing felt quite pleased with himself. He smiled and was about to pour himself another drink when suddenly, a tumultuous wave surged within his stomach. If he hadn’t covered his mouth with his hand, he feared he might have vomited on the spot.

Ji Liangchuan, with his sharp eyes, caught sight of He Xing’s embarrassing moment. Pointing at He Xing, he burst into laughter, "That’s so embarrassing, He Xing. Are you going to vomit? Go ahead if you need to. Either way, you won’t beat me."

Who would have thought that no sooner had the words left his mouth, Ji Liangchuan himself threw up, in a worse state than He Xing.

One after the other, they rushed toward the restroom, vomiting so violently it was as if they were about to bring up their bile.

He Xing finished first. He rinsed his mouth with water and washed his face under the faucet with cold water, feeling much more refreshed. Indeed, vomiting had made him feel much better.

Looking down from his height at Ji Liangchuan not far away, who was still hugging the toilet and vomiting ceaselessly, his stomach seemed like a bottomless pit.

Pleased with himself, He Xing spoke in a chilly tone, "Ji Liangchuan, if you can’t drink, then just quit. Giving up on pursuing Fu Han is a good thing. No matter how you chase her, she will never like you, so whether you pursue her or not really makes no difference."

On hearing this, Ji Liangchuan seemed to suddenly gain tremendous energy. He abruptly stood up, his eyes wide as bells, "We both vomited; neither of us is better than the other. What right do you have to judge me? Let’s go back and continue drinking. I want to see on what grounds you think you can outdrink me."

"Then just wait and see," said He Xing, now brimming with confidence. He had just checked his complexion in the mirror. Though pale, his face was still a bit better than Ji Liangchuan’s, whose paleness made him look like he was about to go meet Yama at any moment.

They walked back to the lobby, one after the other, still turning heads all the way. However, with "do not disturb" written all over He Xing’s face, no one dared to bother him; but Ji Liangchuan was flirting with everyone he met as if they were all his boyfriends and girlfriends.

Because people were greeting him, he fell a few meters behind He Xing; but he believed He Xing would not expect that he was doing so deliberately.

At the corner of the corridor, he encountered a waiter. He whispered to the staff member, "Is it done?"

The waiter replied right away, "All set, please rest assured."

Those words seemed to work magic, energizing Ji Liangchuan instantly. He no longer felt a stomach ache and even believed he could drink even more Vodka.

When he returned to his original position, He Xing was staring blankly at the bottle of booze in front of him. He picked up the bottle, looked at it, sniffed it, then pushed the bottle towards Ji Liangchuan, "I opened this bottle but didn’t drink from it. Here, it’s yours; you get your staff to bring two more bottles of Vodka over. That way, we’ll be even."

"Why?" Ji Liangchuan frowned deeply, pushing the bottle of Vodka back to He Xing, "You’re the one who opened it. What are you worried about? We agreed on a crate each, let’s finish the crate first."

Initially, He Xing’s eyes showed concern, but seeing Ji Liangchuan’s reaction, his belief only strengthened. His voice cutting like ice, "Why? Do you think I’m some greenhorn who’s never been out in the real world? We were only gone for a few minutes. If someone added something to my bottle in that time, couldn’t I suspect you instigated it?"

"What did you say?" Ji Liangchuan got up quickly, looming over He Xing, "He Xing, we’ve known each other for so many years, is this what you think of me?"

Their argument attracted a crowd. There’s nothing a bar fears more than trouble, and for those who come to bars to drink and enjoy themselves, witnessing a bar fight is like getting more than their money’s worth, right?

He Xing’s gaze swept coldly across the crowd, and he handed the opened bottle of Vodka to Ji Liangchuan once more. "All your words are useless. Drink up this bottle, or I have every right to suspect you of cheating."

Whistling erupted, someone in the crowd leading the chant followed by many others shouting, "Drink! Drink! Drink!"

A flush crept up Ji Liangchuan’s cheeks. For the first time, he experienced what it meant to be caught between a rock and a hard place, what it felt like when stealing chickens does not lead to the gain of rice.

The current scene before him was something he hadn’t anticipated, nor had he foreseen He Xing’s vigilance.

Ji Liangchuan’s brain was whirring at full speed, but the audience was growing larger, the crowd’s voices nearly flipping the roof off.

Suddenly, a loud "smack" resounded. Bottles shattered, a rich aroma of alcohol wafting through the poorly ventilated bar.

Ji Liangchuan had just seized the bottle from He Xing’s hands and smashed it to the ground, his eyes unusually large as he looked at He Xing, not hiding his anger, "You suspect me of unfair play. Now I’ll have someone bring you an unopened bottle of Vodka, okay?"

"Of course that’s not a problem." Compared to his anger, He Xing, speaking with a cool demeanor, almost seemed refreshing.

They took their seats once more, this time surrounded by a horde of onlookers. The crowd had learned they were betting on alcohol, and the stakes included a woman; who wouldn’t be curious to see the outcome of a normal alcohol consumption PK?

He Xing sat casually in his original spot. He took a bottle of Vodka from the crate, carefully checking the seal all over to ensure the bottle had not been opened before, before he felt a bit relieved.

Just a few days ago, he had been tricked by a cup of coffee, so this time he was not going to be fooled again; therefore, before heading to vomit, He Xing had carefully noted the position of the bottle’s label, and on his return, he found the logo was facing the wrong way, which meant someone had tampered with it.

Ji Liangchuan’s reaction just then had confirmed He Xing’s suspicion.

In high spirits, He Xing naturally performed well. This time he finished a bottle first, and even when Ji Liangchuan was halfway through his third, He Xing had already taken a commanding lead.
