127 bottles of liquor

  The recent plot has been quite dull, so it's hard to write, sorry for the late update.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－

  The product development department of Omras Image Media Co., Ltd. recently had a clever developer who developed a great mobile APP, which received widespread user praise after its launch and achieved excellent results among similar APPs.

  To celebrate, after being publicly praised and encouraged by the company, members of the development department, under the call of their team leader, privately went to a nearby barbecue night market with good taste to drink and eat meat.

  As the host of this dinner party, Li Luocheng drank with great enthusiasm, one bottle after another without any interval. Of course, whether it was an active or passive thing didn't matter, in short, everyone tonight used the excuse of praising and encouraging him to continue his efforts to toast him, no matter what he said, he had to drink up.

  He had a bit too much to drink, but he was exceptionally clear-headed, his face flushed and hot, and the autumn breeze blowing past him was palpable.

  The only drawback is that he has a particularly large gallbladder, with no inhibitions or worries in his heart, thinking what to say and do, several female colleagues have been taken advantage of by him, due to his heavy drinking and now his identity and status are different, so it's not easy to calculate anything.

  But in public, it's really embarrassing. The awkward and slightly annoyed eyes of several women who have been taken advantage of make the atmosphere increasingly oppressive. Before, men could talk about anything, but now they want to say something, they all have to think carefully in their hearts.

  The women then took their leave one after another, using the excuse that it was getting late. They left behind a group of men, some single and others married with children, cheering and clinking glasses, without any further worries.

  Someone whispered that Li Luocheng was quite lucky, and suddenly a burst of laughter erupted. Then, one by one, the dirty jokes came pouring in, but Li Luocheng, this single man, felt a bit left out - all the women had run away, so who could he flirt with?

  Just as he was feeling depressed, a man stared blankly in a certain direction, attracting attention, and people laughed and shifted their gaze to look over, only to see a small table on the pedestrian street, surrounded by three exceptionally beautiful student sisters. What's even more surprising is that whether it's the aloof beauty or the two cute lolitas, they're all smoking, giving off an air of being promiscuous and unscrupulous.

  Especially the blonde-haired, cold and beautiful girl, wearing a white tight-knit sweater on top and a beige floral skirt that's above her knees, is particularly eye-catching. The elegant and languid look of holding a cigarette in her mouth has a kind of enchanting and seductive charm. Adding to this, the night's temptation, the chaotic atmosphere unique to the barbecue night market, further stirred up men's evil thoughts.

  "That chick is pretty good... " Someone sneered with a bad smile, and the people on the scene raised their eyebrows.

  "Haha, don't be fooled by her pretentious act now, once she's in bed, she's just a water buffalo."

  "I'm going to take a look. That one next to it is so cute..." Li Luo Cheng flared his nostrils, gazing at a certain sweetly smiling little loli over there.

  "Heh heh heh...... Xiao Luo, are you interested? Go and try to pick her up."

  Everyone burst out laughing at once.

  "How's your Mandarin?"

  "I'm going, this kid is too evil."

  "Remove the hair..."

  Li Luocheng was drunk, but that didn't mean he wasn't rational enough. What if those three sisters with their flirtatious and uninhibited behavior were members of some underground gang? That would be absolutely unacceptable to provoke.

  "This kid's got too little guts, drinking won't help him either."

  "It's destined to be a lonely life."

  ……

  On the other hand, Ye Cai naturally noticed that the rough men nearby were casting sideways glances at them. At this time, they basically couldn't show a trace of disgust or weakness, otherwise those thugs would be like they had taken stimulants and burst forth with courage.

  Calmness and mystery are often the most unexpected weapons.

  As for the men around them peeking, Ye Cai and Liu Youyou didn't take it seriously, at most they would just shout "rape" a few times, but Xue Xiao, who was dizzy from her first taste of tobacco, felt a bit apprehensive and fearful.

  Due to Ye Cai and Liu Youyou's indifferent attitude, she had been holding back without saying a word. She was suddenly startled by the movement of a rough man who often glanced over here getting up from his seat, and when she realized that he wasn't coming over, her lingering fear made her even more uneasy.

  "Or else... how about we change places? Go to a hotel and get a private room?"

  She pinched the already extinguished cigarette butt between her long fingers under the table with her right hand, and with her left hand, she swept her bangs aside, pretending to be calm and composed as she proposed.

  Ye Cai's round eyes suddenly cast a contemptuous and strange gaze, her chubby face with a hint of baby fat slightly furrowed in fatigue, as she fed the cigarette butt to her small, delicate, and rosy lips, taking a shallow puff, exhaling a ring of white smoke that floated and danced before her medium-length messy hair.

  Liu Youyou used her long, slender white index finger to deftly flick away the cigarette ash, then took a drag and slowly exhaled a ring of smoke. Her curved, beautiful eyelashes and pink crystal eyeshadow rendered her eyes with an endless enchanting color, staring at Xiao Xue's slightly flustered pretty face, saying: "You're scared?"

  Under Xiao Xue's awkward smile, she picked up the cigarette box on the table in front of her chest and lightly tossed it over, raised an eyebrow and said: "It's nothing, we're on a big street, being looked at a few times won't make us lose flesh..."

  "It's true, looking so cute and beautiful is for others to see."

  Ye Cai picked up the lighter and gestured to Xiao Xue to throw away the cigarette butt that had already been smoked. Xiao Xue felt a pang of discomfort in her heart, furrowed her eyebrows, took out a cigarette from the pack on the table, endured the unpleasant feeling, put it to her lips, and let Ye Cai light it up with a chuckle.

  "It's all gone."

  It seemed like he sensed something, and Ye Cai, who was holding a cigarette and hadn't taken a second puff, smiled warmly at her with pursed lips. Upon hearing this, Xiao Xue felt a pang of guilt instead, pretended to be nonchalant, took a drag on the cigarette, and said with a wave of his hand: "It's nothing, it's fine, this taste..."

  "What's going on? I'm about to pass out..."

  Liu Youyou tossed a playful glance, picked up the box of cigarettes and put it in her bag. She looked at Ye Cai and said seriously, "We should smoke less, it's not good for us..."

  "Hehehe..."

  To everyone's surprise, Ye Cai suddenly burst out laughing. Under their slightly surprised gaze, she looked down with a guilty conscience and rubbed her forehead, saying "Actually, I'm a bit dizzy too."

  "Depend on..."

  Liu Youyou seemed a bit annoyed and disappointed, took a hard drag, then threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped on it, shouting loudly: "Forget it, forget it, stop smoking, making me seem like..."

  She seemed to have some reservations and her tone gradually weakened, finally letting out a resentful sigh.

  Xiao Xue laughed with a sweet and radiant smile, exchanging a comforting and sparkling glance with Ye Cai. She turned to look at Liu Youyou, who seemed to be sulking, and said: "Youyou, next time we have the chance, you must come find me to play, don't always stay alone..."

  "Hmm, Xiao Xue is right, you're just too depressed. When you smoke, it makes people feel empty and lonely..."

  Ye Cai's face turned solemn as she lectured, and Liu Youyou heard the word that symbolized hunger and thirst, and immediately muttered a "fart". She let out a strange "eh" sound, and then said: "You'd better not take it lightly, whether you're really empty or not, but in men's eyes, you're like this. Be careful one day when you're smoking and being taken advantage of..."

  Liu Youyou's face turned pale, but before she could react, Xiao Xue made a mischievous face and stuck out her tongue, then turned to look at Ye Cai, and they both burst out laughing at the same time.

  The soft, sweet laughter was filled with kind contempt and ridicule, causing Liu Youyou's face to turn alternately pale and red. She waved her hand in a show of nonchalance and said, "Hey... don't mention it, today is Xiao Cai's day to cast aside worries, we should get some beer to celebrate, how about it?"

  "Beer..." Xiao Xue was the first to show fear and hesitation, while Ye Cai also looked stunned.

  "You have to drink five bottles!" Liu Youyou angrily pointed at Ye Cai and demanded.

  Subconsciously shrinking neck, reacting to Ye Cai patting her small chest, the pink and tender face was filled with an unyielding expression, saying boldly: "Five bottles is five bottles, that's final."

  Satisfied, Liu Youyou put on a smile again and said to Xiao Xueyao, who was smiling awkwardly: "How about we drink a bottle together?"

  Xiao Xue hesitated for a moment, turned her head to look at Ye Cai, and indeed Ye Cai slammed the table in anger, saying: "Damn it, how can I drink five bottles while you two only drink half a bottle?"

  She turned her firepower towards Liu Youyou and ordered: "You have to drink at least two bottles!"

  Liu Youyou's dissatisfied expression was suppressed by her icy, annoyed gaze, and she turned to look at Xiao Xue, then smiled sweetly and said: "You still drink half a bottle, the rest is fine for me."

  "That's okay... drinking so much, it doesn't matter, does it?" Xiao Xue said worriedly.

  With a wave of her small hand, Ye Cai said loudly: "No problem!"

  Then he slapped the table again, turned his head to look at a distant barbecue stall and shouted: "How come it's not ready yet!? Hurry up!!"

  "Ah ah ah, almost there, almost there..."

  A staff member in charge of serving dishes nearby responded with a distant greeting, and was found by Ye Cai, who beckoned him to come over. He raised his small face and said with a smile: "Bring me a beer, zero degrees."

  The young staff member with a stunned expression stared at Ye Cai and the three girls at the table, seemingly surprised that they were gathering to drink beer. After being coaxed by Ye Cai to hurry up, he came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly before retreating.

  Before long, the beer arrived and the barbecue was served one by one.

  After sprinkling pepper powder and cumin seasoning, it's fragrant, smelling it makes people's fingers move greatly.

  Ye Cai drank a lot and ate the most happily, Liu Youyou was relatively reserved, while Xiao Xue couldn't keep up with the atmosphere, and only picked up the nearest barbecue food to eat after being reminded by them. However, the conversation at the dinner table was quite scarce, and they couldn't find any common topics worth discussing.

  The wine had been drunk, Ye Cai was already drunk and staggering, with a slight movement, she fell forward and backward, barely able to pour half a bottle of wine before falling onto the table like she was snoring loudly. Then, two women who had drunk but were exceptionally clear-headed and bold, chatted idly on the messy table littered with leftover dishes.
