Shuang Yue's eyes darted, and she secretly sent a telepathic message to Yue Wuhua.
I stopped clamoring for the strongest liquor and instead cradled a glass of pale green juice, sipping through the straw in tiny little pulls.
My reflection in the glass showed me staring at Ye Qingxian.
I'd succeeded in provoking Ye Qingxian. Actually drinking the liquor was another matter.
I knew exactly how much Ye Xiaoyao could hold.

It was certainly quite delicious.
