Tang San's Drunken Mistake with Erlong

It was already night. The moonlight was hazy, yet some taverns remained open.

Tang San glanced at the tavern named "Drunken Dream" and felt a little tempted.

His thoughts were in complete chaos, and the pressure on him was immense. He needed alcohol to numb himself for a while.

But reason told him he could not. The competition was imminent; it was not the time to drink himself senseless.

"Young man."

"Hm?" Tang San looked over again and realized the waiter was calling him.

The waiter was a young man around twenty, fair and clean-looking, with decent features.

Moreover, the young man's harmless smile made him easy to like.

"Were you calling me?" Tang San asked, pointing at himself.

"Yes, young man. It's late. Why not come in for a drink to warm yourself up?" the young man invited with a smile.

"I'd better not. If I get drunk, wouldn't I end up sleeping on the streets?" Tang San shook his head slightly in refusal.

"Don't worry, young man. You look burdened by worries, which is exactly when you need a little drink. And though our establishment is small, we do have guest rooms for customers to rest in." The young man invited him again without the slightest sign of impatience.

Heh, so my mood was already written all over my face?

Tang San laughed at himself, then entered the tavern.

After taking a seat, he saw that the tavern was completely empty. He was the only customer.

He stopped the waiter, who was about to fetch the wine, and asked, "Why is there no one here?"

"Young man, it's late. Naturally, the customers have gone home or gone upstairs to rest."

Tang San nodded with a faint smile, feeling that he had been overly suspicious.
