Chapter 461. Drunkenness
Ning Chu still didn’t like alcohol, mainly because she hated the taste and was always worried about what might happen if she got drunk.
But today was Wen Yang’s birthday, and among the people present, there were two trustworthy roommates she spent day and night with, plus one who had already taken advantage of her and turned her into a daily milk bun, so having a little drink wasn’t a big deal.
The cocktails were quite drinkable, more like flavored beverages with a hint of alcohol; she didn’t mind them, but with the high alcohol content, her cheeks were already flushed after just a few sips, and a dazed, innocent expression began to show in her eyes.
She hugged her glass, swaying her upper body gently from side to side, occasionally bumping into Wen Yang’s shoulder. With her guard down, her naive and adorable appearance made her a perfect target for teasing.
“Hey, little maid! Bring up the cake we prepared!”
Zhang Shaoqing called to the maid in the private room: “And you, keep your distance from him. His girlfriend gets super jealous; you don’t want to get hit later. Come, sit by your brother~”
Wen Yang glanced at the maid sitting next to him: “When has Ning Chu ever hit anyone?”
“Are you saying you want the maid to sit closer?”
“I’m just spreading a rumor here.”
He wasn’t very comfortable with this festive scene and had been acting quite reserved, hardly touching his drink.
Suddenly, the drink in his hand was snatched away by the little demoness beside him. He was taken aback, glancing down at her as she guzzled her drink. He forced a smile and said, “Drink less, you usually don’t drink.”
“It’s your birthday~ Besides, it’s been ages since our dorm had a gathering~”
Ning Chu hugged her glass, swaying as she protested: “Getting drunk, you’ll take care of me…… hic!”
“Could you please bring me two cups of hot water?” Wen Yang could only turn to the maid and instruct, “Use a wine glass, tell her it’s white.”
“I heard that! So you’re plotting against me!”
He couldn’t help but pinch Ning Chu’s rosy little face, his eyes filled with affection: “Alright, don’t drink anymore.”
“I’m not drunk yet……”
Ning Chu pouted, reluctant to put down her glass.
“Then are you not planning to have a midnight snack tonight?”
She froze for a moment before hurriedly setting her drink on the table, sitting up straight and saying, “Of course! I’m definitely eating!”
“Are you two having a midnight snack tonight?” Zhang Shaoqing said enviously, “Qian Qian won’t let me eat. She says I’ll gain weight and insists I eat healthily……”
“Fortunately, it’s mainly because Ning Chu’s craving.”
“Damn it, not gaining weight is the best~” he cursed as he complained about Qian Qian, “I’m still under twenty, and Qian Qian’s already telling me to exercise more. No midnight snacks allowed, and she even restricts smoking, drinking, and staying up late. You’d think I’m eighty years old!”
“Maybe it’s because you’re too weak in bed?” Wang Jie weakly suggested.
Zhang Shaoqing jumped up in anger, exclaiming, “How can that be! I make her comply every time! Don’t think we all suck just because you do!”
“I’ve seen you looking weak all week……”
“That’s because Qian Qian is in good shape now! Once this period passes, I’ll reclaim the husband role!”
Zhang Shaoqing didn’t want to talk about his sad situation, so he turned to Wen Yang and asked, “Hey, is Ning Chu really like that? How do you handle it?”
“Probably too scared to even touch her now; Wen Yang is even more of a coward than me.”
“Not to that extent. I suspect Wen Yang has to take medication every time,” he said, patting Wen Yang’s shoulder earnestly, “You’re pretty sturdy, but relying on medication all the time isn’t good either~”
In front of their friends, Wen Yang proudly straightened his back: “I don’t even need to take medication! Ning Chu can’t handle me.”
“Get out of here!”
A few men gathered together, their topics mainly revolving around politics, games, or women.
Usually, when Ning Chu was around, they’d subconsciously tone it down, but after a few drinks, and with Ning Chu also tipsy, they simply let loose.
“As the saying goes, only a tired cow stops working! Women can really go wild! Wen Yang, you’re just full of it!”
“My girlfriend wears glasses, she’s a goody-two-shoes, but in bed, she surprises me with her wildness.”
“Qian Qian too! I used to think she was pretty conservative, but once she got into it, she was even wilder than me! Always wanting to do something thrilling! I swear~ Last time, she wanted us to go hiking; how could I let her suffer like that? Booked a five-star hotel right away!”
While they indulged in cake and alcohol, a few men kept talking on and on, while Ning Chu leaned against Wen Yang’s shoulder, hazily rubbing her cheek against him like a little cat.
Her mind a blank, she let their conversation go in one ear and out the other, retaining no information whatsoever.
“Should we book a room for Ning Chu later, then we can all go to the internet bar and play games?”
“Isn’t that bad?” Wen Yang shook his head in refusal, “I’ll stay with her. I’m worried she won’t find anyone when she wakes up.”
“She’s not a three-year-old kid.”
He knew that Ning Chu could easily feel anxious in unfamiliar environments, especially now that she had drunk alcohol, so he resolutely shook his head: “Forget it, I’m not comfortable leaving her alone after she’s drunk.”
He looked down and saw that, unbeknownst to him, Ning Chu was stealthily reaching for the wine glass in front of him on the coffee table.
Wen Yang couldn’t help but chuckle as he playfully swatted her hand away, which quickly retreated. Ning Chu still wore that innocent expression, looking up at him with dazed eyes.
“Here, have some plain water.”
Zhang Shaoqing handed her a cup of boiled water.
“Don’t want it.”
“Fine, good riddance.” He rolled his eyes at Ning Chu, “With your poor drinking capacity, it’s a miracle you’re not causing a scene.”
He turned to say something to Wen Yang, but suddenly, a mobile phone lit up on the table.
Zhang Shaoqing hurriedly waved his hand, signaling the singing maid to stop, and silenced the room: “Shh~ It’s my wife calling! Don’t speak!”
Then, he answered the call from Qian Qian, wearing a guilty grin: “Hello? Qian Qian? I’m out eating with Wen Yang.”
“Sorry, I can’t tonight. It’s my roommate’s birthday, we’re having barbecue, and I’m not drinking…… No, I mean even if I were made of iron, I still need a break of a day, right?”
Wang Jie and Wen Yang almost burst out laughing.
“Who’s that?” Ning Chu suddenly asked loudly, her face still look hazy.
“Not! That’s Ning Chu! Can’t you tell by the voice?!”
“Where are you sleeping tonight?”
Zhang Shaoqing quickly poured a glass of alcohol for Ning Chu and shoved it into her hands, then explained into the phone: “She’s had a bit too much; I haven’t touched a drop myself.”
Ning Chu happily held her glass, lazily leaning against Wen Yang, tilting her head and blankly smiling at his handsome face.
Wen Yang gently ruffled her hair and pinched her hot cheeks, softly saying, “Drink less.”
“I know~ I’m still having midnight snacks later~”
As expected of a succubus, she was still thinking about those naughty things.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, only to see Ning Chu clinging to his shoulder, making an effort to stretch her neck to whisper in his ear: “I drank tonight, my combat power will definitely be through the roof! Just wait and see~”
“Sure, sure, sure.”
