EBE Chapter 49 Drinking
Chapter 49 Drinking
On the fire truck, Ace sat laughing between Di Xing and Ai Xiao, patting Di Xing repeatedly with his large hand, praising his bravery, and trying to recruit him into the fire brigade. Di Xing seemed quite reserved, while Ai Xiao was sullen because her older brother had forced her to separate from Di Xing. By this time, she had returned the cloak to Di Xing and changed into a Lolita-style outfit.
As Ace spoke, he pulled out a bottle of liquor.
Ai Xiao immediately huffed and puffed out, "Brother, you promised Mingzai you wouldn't drink so easily!"
"Hey, the fire's all out now, and I wasn't driving, so what's wrong with having a little drink to celebrate?"
After saying that, he swiftly pried open the bottle cap and was about to pour it into his mouth when Ai Xiao quickly grabbed the bottle. Because of the speed, some of the liquor spilled out. Ace, a tall man over 1.8 meters, immediately performed an incredible feat of flexibility, catching the liquor in mid-air with his mouth. "Wow, awesome!"
"Ah, this..." Di Xing exclaimed in shock.
Seeing that his sister was determined to stop him from drinking, Ace had no choice but to start trying to win over Dixing.
"Di Xing, you also think that you need a drink after a victory to feel more energetic, right? You just escaped death, you need a drink to calm your nerves."
Overwhelmed by Captain Ace's imposing presence, Di Xing instinctively answered, "Yes."
So Captain Ace immediately turned to his sister and said, "Look, Di Xing agrees with me. Let's just have a little. It won't be much for the two of us. We'll drink from cups."
Ai laughed angrily and agreed.
Captain Ace quickly took out a cup, a small wine cup, not very big, about 3 qian. Di Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the small cup. At this moment, the captain quickly filled Di Xing's cup, and then took out his own cup, a wine dispenser!
To Di Xing's astonishment, Ace poured himself a whole glass.
The last sentence was, "I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."
He tilted his head back, downed the entire glass of wine in one gulp, and then let out a blissful burp.
Di Xing was left standing there, bewildered in the wind, holding that small glass of wine.
"Hey bro, you cheated!" Ai Xiao was furious with her brother who had turned into a drunkard. Her brother was usually very steady and methodical, but as soon as he came into contact with Old Sam's liquor, he immediately turned into a drunkard. It could be said that although he was relatively resistant to ordinary liquor, he absolutely could not handle fine liquor.
He poured himself another glass.
Ai Xiao snatched the bottle and shoved it into Di Xing's mouth.
Di Xing was still gaping in astonishment at Captain Ace's guzzling, when Ai Xiao suddenly shoved the decanter into his mouth. The liquor instantly flooded his throat. It must be said, Old Sam's liquor was truly excellent; it wasn't as harsh as ordinary spirits, and it was smooth on the palate. So, as the liquor slid down Di Xing's throat and into his stomach, he initially didn't react. But then, the area where the liquor had flowed felt like it was on fire. Di Xing hurriedly pushed the decanter away; by then, more than half the liquor was gone. Di Xing tried to cough, but the liquor was completely in his stomach, and he couldn't cough it up anymore.
However, a single wine vessel only holds about two ounces of liquor. Di Xing's drinking capacity, and he's not bragging, is such that two ounces is enough to turn the wardrobe into a toilet. If his roommates hadn't held him down so tightly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
At that moment, Di Xing felt the world spinning before his eyes, and his face turned red at a visible speed. The car bumped, and Di Xing fell backward. Ai Xiao quickly released the wine dispenser and caught him. "Di Xing, are you alright?"
The wine dispenser slipped from Ai Xiao's control and fell from the air. Captain Ace nimbly caught it, carefully wiped himself with a tissue, and then secretly continued drinking.
Di Xing, who was being supported by Ai Xiao, finally had a chance to speak, "Captain Ace, I can't hold my liquor..."
Ai Xiao felt a little regretful. It goes without saying that Di Xing couldn't hold his liquor; it was obvious to everyone. Now, Di Xing's eyes were vacant as he looked at her. She couldn't help but worry: "Will something happen to him?"
But then he heard Di Xing murmur, "Ah Xiao, you're so beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Ai Xiao blushed and immediately covered her face, asking, "What are you saying?" Losing his balance, Di Xing fell to the ground with a thud, landing on the back of his head, writhing in pain.
Ai Xiao quickly helped him up, and Di Xing weakly said, "Water, water."
Ai Xiao quickly handed him a bottle of water, which Di Xing eagerly gulped down, but he choked and started coughing violently again.
Ai Xiao stood behind him, feeling somewhat guilty, patting his back. With Ai Xiao's help, Di Xing recovered quickly. He rinsed his mouth carefully with water and washed his face, feeling much better, but his head was still foggy.
"Are you OK?"
"It's alright. After you threw me, I actually feel much more awake."
"I'm sorry," Ai Xiao said somewhat embarrassedly.
Di Xing rolled her eyes at him. "I'd much rather you take concrete actions than just say sorry."
"Ah, take action? No, that's too early. I... I'll just kiss your cheek one more time."
"What are you thinking now? I meant I want you to be my network technology consultant in the future."
"I see," Ai Xiao seemed somewhat disappointed for some reason.
Just then, Ace let out a satisfied burp, and the two of them noticed him. He had already drunk most of the wine by himself, and then, perhaps because he was too tired from fighting fires recently, he leaned against the car wall and started snoring contentedly.
"Oh, he... he's asleep already?"
Helpless, Ai Xiao told Di Xing to lay his brother down, then tied him to the bed with straps. After finishing, Ai Xiao pouted, "I really don't know what's so good about alcohol."
Di Xing chimed in, "Exactly! It's spicy and awful. Soda is much better. But to be fair, this drink is pretty good. It's one of the best I've ever had. It's a shame you're underage, otherwise you could have a little."
"Who said I'm underage? I'm 18, okay?"
Ai Xiao angrily took the wine cup that Di Xing had just used, poured half a cup, and downed it in one gulp.
"Ugh, what's that smell? It's so spicy!"
Ai Xiao let out a mournful cry, and Di Xing kindly handed him a bottle of water, which Ai Xiao gulped down.
"Ugh, your breath reeks of alcohol, it smells awful!"
Di Xing handed her a piece of chewing gum and chewed one himself. Although Di Xing's Snickers had been completely taken by Li Fei Hua Yue, he still had a few pieces of chewing gum in his pants pocket. Chewing gum also existed in this world, but it didn't taste as good as in the real world. Just as Ai Xiao was enjoying her chewing gum, the fire truck was suddenly hit hard. Ai Xiao was caught off guard and fell into Di Xing's arms. What happened?
Di Xing steadied the fire truck, and Ai Xiao opened the window. They saw a very cool-looking vehicle repeatedly ramming into the fire truck from its left rear. The vehicle's overall shape resembled a snowmobile with four tires.
Ai Xiao seemed to recognize the motorcycle at a glance, quickly opened the sunroof of the fire truck, climbed out, and Di Xinglian hurriedly followed.
