"Clack!"
When Lin Fan set the glass on the table with a crisp sound, Qin Yuxuan hurriedly looked away.
Although Qin Yuxuan had not even had a drink yet,
her pretty face was already completely flushed.
As if trying to hide it, Qin Yuxuan hurriedly took a large gulp of wine.
Lin Fan commented, "Rich and smooth with a hint of freshness, along with a distinctive fruity aroma... Not bad. It's genuine Ace of Spades."
He had heard that many places often passed off counterfeit liquor as the real thing to make money.
Then, Lin Fan poured himself another glass and downed it in one gulp.
"Unfortunately, the fruitiness is a little too strong and the alcohol flavor is somewhat weak. Comparatively speaking, Louis XIII tastes better... Bring us another bottle of Louis XIII," Lin Fan said.
Clearly, tasting the Ace of Spades had stirred Lin Fan's craving for alcohol.
The waiter said apologetically, "We don't have Louis XIII here, but if you want it, I can go buy it from another store for you."
"Alright. I'll give you fifty thousand. Keep whatever is left as your tip. But I have one requirement: it must be genuine," Lin Fan said.
At those words, the waiter was so excited he nearly jumped up.
A bottle of Louis XIII only cost a little over thirty thousand.
Fifty thousand! He could pocket more than ten thousand as a tip! That was worth several months of his salary! The waiter immediately patted his chest and promised, "Rest assured, sir. I know the owner of that store. I guarantee it'll be genuine!"
Lin Fan nodded and directly transferred fifty thousand to the waiter.
If it had been anyone else ordering a bottle of wine worth tens of thousands,
Qin Yuxuan would definitely have thought they were deliberately showing off their wealth.
She would have felt disgusted.
But Lin Fan's gentlemanly manner while drinking, along with the clarity in his eyes as he bought the wine, left Qin Yuxuan without the slightest impression that he was flaunting his wealth.
It was a pure love and appreciation for alcohol.
Skill: Drinking Gentleman, infinite charm! Before long, the waiter came back panting, carrying a beautifully packaged bottle of Louis XIII and placing it on the table.
"Sir, your wine!" the waiter said excitedly.
With a soft pop, the bottle cap fell to the ground.
A pool of pale red liquor slowly poured into the glass.
Lin Fan first held it beneath his nose and sniffed it, then tipped it all into his mouth.
"Nicely done. It's genuine," Lin Fan said.
"Thank you for the praise, sir," the waiter said happily. In his opinion, he ought to stay nearby and wait on such a wealthy customer.
Who knew? He might get another bonus later.
But after glancing at Qin Yuxuan across from Lin Fan, the waiter tactfully said, "If you need anything else, just call for me."
Seeing how much Lin Fan enjoyed it, Qin Yuxuan also took a sip of the Louis XIII.
But it made her cough violently.
Lin Fan said, "Are you alright? Louis XIII is rich and full-bodied, but it's too intense. Girls are better off drinking Ace of Spades."
Qin Yuxuan ate a bite of grilled skewer before recovering. "I'm fine, I'm fine..."
At first, Lin Fan had no appetite at all and only drank a few glasses of wine.
But as time passed, the food in his stomach gradually digested.
So, he began eating grilled skewers as well.
Sitting across from each other, the two reminisced about high school, chatting and laughing in a relaxed atmosphere.
Qin Yuxuan had only drunk three small glasses, but by the time she left MISS Restaurant, her entire pretty face was as red as a ripe apple.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, showed no reaction at all.
It was as if he had merely drunk two bottles of Plain Water.
Standing outside MISS Restaurant, Qin Yuxuan gazed at the distant river scenery and praised, "It's so beautiful!"
Lin Fan pointed into the distance. "You can only see a small part of the river from here. From that hillside, you can see not only the entire river, but all of Jiangbei City as well."
"Then let's hurry over there!" Qin Yuxuan said eagerly.
Lin Fan nodded and walked ahead.
Standing atop the hillside and looking down, the banks on both sides resembled a flowing Milky Way, while the myriad lights of Jiangbei glittered like stars scattered across the sky.
Qin Yuxuan's bright, beautiful eyes shimmered as she exclaimed, "It's so pretty!"
"Splash, splash!"
At that moment, the sound of flowing water came from behind them.
Then, four men with hair dyed in various colors, reeking of alcohol and hitching up their pants, emerged from the shadows.
"Well, well, there's actually a hot chick here."
"Beautiful, interested in having some fun with us?"
"We guarantee you'll enjoy it."
"That's right!"
Looking at Qin Yuxuan's sweet face and perfect figure... under the influence of alcohol, the four seemed to turn into hungry wolves, their eyes filled with desire.
Qin Yuxuan's expression turned extremely ugly as she watched the four men draw closer.
The scenery here was indeed beautiful, but the surroundings were rather deserted, with no surveillance cameras at all.
And these four men did not look like people to be trifled with. They had been drinking too. What if...
At that thought, a thin sheen of sweat slowly appeared on Qin Yuxuan's face.
Lin Fan said coldly, "Get lost before I get angry."
Those words did not frighten the four men away.
"Beauty, this is your man, right? He looks like a silver spear with a wax head. Bet he's never satisfied you. Today, us brothers will let you have a real good time!" Red Hair grinned, exposing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Yeah! A real good time!" the other three laughed along.
Even as they spoke, the four continued moving forward.
Lin Fan said, "Qin Yuxuan, stand a little farther back."
After speaking, Lin Fan calmly rolled up his sleeves.
The next moment, he suddenly stepped forward.
His fierce, swift fist slammed viciously into Red Hair's face.
Bang!
The terrifying force sent Red Hair sprawling to the ground.
However, Lin Fan did not stop there.
Bang!
Bang!
Then, punch after punch, like a raging storm, crashed relentlessly into Red Hair's face.
He continued until Red Hair's nose bridge broke, his teeth fell out, his entire face became a bloody mess, and he completely lost consciousness.
Only then did Lin Fan rise and punch Green Hair in the chest.
Crack!
The ribs in Green Hair's chest snapped in response.
Crack!
Crack!
Lin Fan kept throwing punches, breaking more than a dozen ribs and leaving Red Hair collapsed on the ground like a heap of mud.
The other two were scared out of their wits and turned to run.
Then...
Like a cheetah, Lin Fan sprang forward, snapping one man's arms and breaking the other man's legs.
The entire process was incomparably brutal and bloody! Qin Yuxuan hated violence, yet she never looked away, watching every single movement Lin Fan made.
It was as if Lin Fan was not committing violence at all, but performing a graceful dance that captivated her.
Skill: Violent Aesthetics, the true colors of a man! Low-key and reserved in his dealings with others, witty in conversation, fashionable in dress, gentlemanly when drinking—he even fought with a sense of beauty! At last, Qin Yuxuan completely fell for him.
Ding! Charm Halo triggered Deeply Imprinted!
The next moment, unable to restrain herself, Qin Yuxuan threw herself into Lin Fan's arms.
