Red Wine Doesn't Get You Drunk

Su Yang chuckled at her words.

"Alright, alright, I'm a cricket, but when it comes to money, I definitely can't compare to you. Your cousin is Meng Wenzhou, others might not know, but I do."

"He's my cousin, not my brother. His wealth has nothing to do with me."

"Mm, that's true, but your family surely isn't lacking either. You have Lamborghinis and Ferraris."

"I can only say we're not short on money. We can't compare to my cousin's family."

"That's true. After all, his dad has assets in the hundreds of billions. Not many people can compare to that."

"But his style is too unlike a top-tier second-generation rich kid."

"Then what's he like?" Pan Ning asked.

"Hmm, how should I put it? You see those super-rich second-generation kids, guys like Ah Cong, always surrounded by beautiful women, and not exactly easy to get along with. But Meng Wenzhou is different."

Pan Ning smiled faintly. "He's been like this since he was a kid. He really doesn't have many of those rich kid tendencies. If you didn't know him, you'd think he was an ordinary person. You'll know more once you interact with him more."

As they spoke, they had already exited the elevator and arrived at Su Yang's doorstep.

He pressed the fingerprint lock and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, the lights inside automatically turned on.

"Please come in."

"Do you have slippers?"

"Yes." Su Yang said, taking out two pairs of casual slippers he had bought at the supermarket from the cabinet by the door.

Pan Ning changed her shoes and walked in.

Su Yang closed the door and followed. "Make yourself comfortable. Tell me what you'd like to drink, and I'll get it for you."

"Do you have alcohol?"

"What is it? Alcohol? You're drinking again?"

"I'm not drunk. If you can't drink, you can drink something else."

"I... alright, alright. This is my place, I'm not afraid of you. Today, I'll risk it all for a friend. Cheers!"

Su Yang walked towards the kitchen, opening the built-in double-door refrigerator.

He looked inside and then remembered he hadn't bought any beer.

"Um, I just moved in, so I haven't had time to buy beer. I only have red wine and white wine at home. What do you want to drink?"

"Either is fine. Is the white wine Moutai?"

"Yes, does that mean you only drink Moutai?"

"Not exactly. It's mainly because I've only ever drunk Moutai since I was a child. I can't get used to other white liquors."

"Damn, drinking Moutai since you were a kid. As expected of a rich person."

"Then, Moutai?"

"Moutai it is," Pan Ning said casually, plopping down on the sofa.

"I never expected you to choose white wine over red wine, drinking white liquor in such an atmospheric setting."

Su Yang had already set the living room lights to dim mode after entering, which was perfect for enjoying some red wine.

"Red wine won't get me drunk."

Su Yang: "..."

"You want to get drunk that badly?"

"If I get drunk, won't you have a chance?" Pan Ning leaned back on the sofa, looking at Su Yang with captivating eyes.

"Whoa! You're practically seducing me. If I can't help myself and do something later, don't blame me!"

"The premise is that you can get me drunk."

"Arrogant!" Su Yang pretended to be angry and walked over to the wine cabinet, opening a case of Moutai he had bought earlier.

He took out two bottles and walked back to the sofa, sitting down.

"Today, I will definitely get you drunk."

"Don't just talk the talk, show me some action."

"Alright, alright, just you wait."

"But it seems like there are no snacks to go with the drinks at home," Su Yang said, looking at the empty table.

"Some peanuts will do."

"Peanuts?" Su Yang's eyes widened as he looked at Pan Ning. He couldn't imagine what this beautiful woman would look like drinking white liquor with peanuts.

"You've really opened my eyes. I honestly didn't expect you to be so uninhibited."

"You didn't have any other snacks, so I wouldn't have chosen peanuts otherwise."

"It's just that I only ate a bowl of noodles earlier. I have steak, and also fruit and snacks, but I really don't have peanuts."

"Then you choose, I'm fine with anything."

"Alright, then wait here. I'll go pan-fry some steaks, and you can wash some fruit for me."

"Okay~"

Soon, Su Yang finished pan-frying the steaks. Pan Ning had already washed the fruit and was sitting on the sofa waiting.

"Here we go~"

Su Yang placed the steaks on the table. He picked up a bottle of Moutai and opened it, took out two small wine glasses from the box, wiped them clean, and then, mimicking how he'd seen others drink Moutai, pulled open the red ribbon.

This was actually the first time Su Yang had opened a bottle of Moutai in his life.

Seeing this, Pan Ning frowned and asked, "Using these small cups?"

"What else? This is Baijiu!"

"Change them. We won't get drunk even if we drink until morning."

Su Yang chuckled helplessly at her words. "Sis, you're my sister, I really admire you! Wait here, I'll get you bigger cups."

As he spoke, he walked to the bar next to the kitchen and took out two glasses for drinking whiskey.

"Will these do?"

"Mhm, yes."

"A true heroine!" Su Yang gave Pan Ning a thumbs-up.

After pouring the drinks, he picked up his glass. "Come, let's have one."

They clinked glasses. Su Yang took a small sip, while Pan Ning downed half the glass in one go.

Su Yang's eyes widened. "Sis, I'm telling you, this is Baijiu. What kind of normal person drinks Baijiu like that?"

"Why are you talking so much? I shouldn't have come. Are you drinking or not?"

"Fine, I won't say another word."

"How about you eat something to go with your drink?"

"Okay."

Pan Ning said this as she picked up a fork, speared a piece of steak, and put it in her mouth.

After chewing a few times, she said, "Where did you buy this steak?"

"The supermarket, why?"

"The taste is very ordinary, and it doesn't seem like it's whole-cut."

"Really? It says whole-cut on it."

"Try it yourself, but it's passable."

"Let me try." Su Yang said, spearing a piece and putting it in his mouth.

However, he couldn't really tell if it was whole-cut or not. He had only eaten steak a few times in his life, and he even found it quite delicious.

"I think it's fine."

"Then eat more. I'll stick to fruit."

Pan Ning said this as she picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth. "If you like steak, I can give you some another day."

"Sure, these things are convenient. By the way, where do you live?"

"Qianshan Peninsula."

"Where is Qianshan Peninsula? I've never heard of it?"

"It's just an ordinary villa area."

'No wonder. I thought I hadn't heard of it. In the past, my real estate work was all high-rise apartments and similar projects. I never dealt with villa projects.' Su Yang thought to himself.

"Is it far from my place?"

"About seven or eight kilometers. Not that far. Drink up, you talk too much."

Pan Ning said this as she picked up her glass and started drinking again.

Seeing Pan Ning's boldness, Su Yang was also inspired. This time, he took a bigger gulp.

However, after swallowing, he almost spat it out.

"Cough, cough, cough, damn, I drank too fast."

"Here, eat a cherry." Pan Ning picked up a washed cherry and brought it to Su Yang's lips.

"I'll do it myself."

"Open your mouth!"

"Alright, alright." Su Yang opened his mouth and ate the cherry Pan Ning fed him.

"How is it, delicious?" Pan Ning looked at Su Yang with a half-smile.

"Delicious... just a little scary."

"You think I'm scary?"

"No, no, no, come, let's drink."

Pan Ning shot Su Yang a glare, and the two slowly started drinking while chatting.

The lights were dim, the night outside the window was enchanting, and a gentle breeze occasionally blew in.

The Harman Kardon speakers in the living room played fitting music, and the two sat on the carpet by the sofa, drinking and laughing.

Su Yang looked at Pan Ning before him. The dim yellow light shone on half of her fair face, highlighting her delicate features to the extreme.

[Ding! Detected that the host is thoroughly enjoying this moment. Reward: Two million yuan]

Time quickly passed, and it was already four in the morning.

Su Yang had drunk a little over three liang, and Pan Ning finished the rest.

Su Yang's head was spinning. He was certain that if he drank another drop, he would vomit. He looked at Pan Ning, who seemed unfazed.

"Sis, I can't anymore. I really can't drink anymore. How about we drink again another day?"

"Alright, since this bottle is finished anyway, I'm going to take a bath. Where's the bathroom?"

"Bat...room." Su Yang's words were slurring.

He staggered to his feet. "Over there, I'll take you."

Pan Ning stepped forward and put an arm around Su Yang. "You're already like this after drinking so little? Such a lightweight."

"Yes, yes, yes, I admit it. I can't outdrink you."

Su Yang was thoroughly intimidated by Pan Ning's drinking ability. He remembered that back at the bar, Pan Ning had been the one who drank the most among everyone.

Even though she rarely lost when playing games, she always used thirst as an excuse to initiate drinking.

The losers didn't drink as much as she did.

And now, after drinking over half a jin of baijiu, she was still acting like nothing happened.

Su Yang truly admired her drinking capacity from the bottom of his heart.
