A Valiant Life

At the table.

Wu Huan Yue sat next to Lin Fan.

“The appearance, fragrance, and taste are all complete. It really tastes pretty good,” said Lin Fan praisingly. The six dishes and soup were very plentiful. Also, he had to admit that these two ladies’ skills were really pretty good.

“Thank you for the praise, Brother Lin. This is the result of us working for the whole day,” said Xu Zi Le with a smile. Then, she picked the bottle of red wine. As she was about to open it, she hesitated for a moment, then she put it down. Instead, she took out the white wine.

“Let’s drink white wine instead today. These dishes would clash with red wine.”

Xu Zi Le was all smiles as she opened the bottle of white wine and she filled everyone’s cups.

Lin Fan looked at his wine glass, then measured it with his finger. “This is going all out. With so much in one glass, it’s easy to get drunk. I have to be careful.”

Right now, with his Wuxia class of knowledge, he would be fine no matter how much he drank.

“What? Are you scared?” said Wang Ming Yang as he looked at Lin Fan.

“Alright, alright. Since it’s like this, let’s do it. I’m not afraid. But if you guys get drunk, don’t blame me for now taking care of you,” said Lin Fan. Then, he looked at Wu Huan Yue and said, “Huan Yue, you shouldn’t drink. You’ll still have to sing. This wine isn’t good for your throat.”

Xu Zi Le nodded. “Yeah, Huan Yue shouldn’t drink. Let us drink with Brother Lin. But it’ll be fine if Huan Yue drinks a bit of red wine.”

“It would help to add to the fun.”

She placed particular emphasis on that final sentence.

Thinking back to what they had said in the kitchen, Wu Huan Yue’s face turned red. Then, she sneaked a glance at Brother Lin. When she realized that he didn’t look peculiar, she let out a breath of relief.

“Come, let’s have a toast.”

At that moment, Wang Ming Yang raised his cup. He looked at Lin Fan with challengingly as if to say ‘I’ll take it as my loss if you can walk out of here peacefully tonight.’

“Ming Yang, you really want to play for real,” said Lin Fan with a smile.

“What do you mean by that? It’s just a casual drink,” said Wang Ming Yang. He looked at his cup and his heart felt a little weak. If he were to drink this much in one go, he’d definitely be in trouble. He could only drink a small sip.

“Alright, then let’s have a drink.” Lin Fan smiled. He didn’t argue with Wang Ming Yang. Drinking was about adding to the atmosphere. If the were to get drunk, it would really be meaningless.

Wang Ming Yang looked at Lin Fan. “Those songs you wrote for Huan Yue are getting waves of good comments. Their sales are much higher than the previous albums.”

“That’s because Huan Yue’s voice is good too.” Lin Fan nodded. You must be joking. Those songs were from the Encyclopedia. How could they be average?

Moreover, he only picked from the golden songs.

Wu Huan Yue giggled happily. She had incomparable faith in Lin Fan. Also, she knew that all those songs were good songs. They couldn’t be compared to those typical pop songs.

“Brother Lin, I’ll drink to you as well.” Xu Zi Le smiled as she raised her wine glass. As she looked at Wu Huan Yue from the corner of her eyes, she let out a small grin.

Lin Fan said, “Are you two taking turns to try and get me drunk today?”

“Brother Lin, what do you mean by that? How could there be something like that?” Xu Zi Le laughed. Then, she kicked Wang Ming Yang under the table.

Wang Ming Yang instantly came to his senses. “Come on. We’re just beginning. You can’t be done already, right?”

Lin Fan smiled and didn’t say much. He immediately took another gulp of wine. He already knew how tonight’s dinner would end up.

Wang Ming Yang and Xu Zi Le would have to kneel tonight.

Wu Huan Yue sat by the side as she occasionally placed some food on Lin Fan’s plate. As she saw the two of them getting Brother Lin to drink nonstop, she couldn’t quite bear it.

However, just as she spoke, Xu Zi Le interrupted.

After three rounds of drinks.

Lin Fan’s face was still calm. He hadn’t changed at all.

On the other hand, Wang Ming Yang and Xu Zi Le’s faces were both red and they looked a little drunk.

“Brother Lin, how do you feel?” Xu Zi Le asked. She hadn’t expected Brother Lin’s alcohol tolerance to be so high. It wasn’t the same as before.

In the past, she had drunk with Brother Lin before. She knew that Brother Lin’s alcohol tolerance was just average.

But now, it was already the second cup and even she had started to get muddle-headed. However, Brother Lin still looked perfectly fine.

Lin Fan shook his head, then rubbed his head. “I’m a little muddle-headed. If I drink a bit more, I’ll really be drunk.”

Wang Ming Yang waved his hand. “Since you’ve come tonight, you’re not going anywhere. Just stay here tonight. I have lots of rooms here and you can choose any of them. Let’s go for another round of drinks.”

“Alright then. Let’s drink another round,” said Lin Fan with a smile.

These two were obviously trying to get him drunk. But that was good. He was going to let the two of them experience true terror.

“Brother Lin, you don’t have to drink too much,” said Wu Huan Yue worriedly. However, she saw that Brother Lin’s face hadn’t changed at all. Instead, Sister Xu and Brother Wang were all red and they looked slightly drunk. The way they spoke was not like how they had been at first.

Moreover, their conditions were still constantly changing.

“Brother, I have to tell you that I’ve never really admired anyone in my life as much as I admire you. Let’s drink,” said Wang Ming Yang with a smile. He then flicked his head as he cursed in his heart.

He wondered how could his brother drink this much? When he just got to know him, he couldn’t even drink a few bottles of beer. Why does it seem like he wasn’t affected at all?

Lin Fan smiled. “This is just beginning. In the future, you’ll have a lot more chances to admire me. But Ming Yang, if you can’t drink anymore, you should stop. It wouldn’t feel good if you drink too much.”

Wang Ming Yang waved his hand. “No. I’m happy today. Even if I’m drunk, I’d still be happy. But you mustn’t take photos of me.”

“Yeah. Even if we get drunk, we’d be happy,” said Xu Zi Le.

However, she was just as shocked as Ming Yang.

She had also realized that something wasn’t right. They were taking turns to drink but they still couldn’t get Brother Lin drunk. Could the wine be fake?

But it’s not possible. If it is fake, why are the two of us drunk?

It must be that some people just don’t turn red when they’re drunk. Brother Lin must actually be drunk too.

Right. That must be the case.

After thinking it through, Xu Zi Le started drinking freely as well. For Huan Yue, she was going all out.

As a celebrity, she attended many banquets. If she couldn’t tolerate alcohol, she wouldn’t be able to make it.

Another three rounds of drinking passed.

“Lalalala…” Wang Ming Yang started singing. Moreover, he was singing strange things and he was laughing idiotically every once in a while.

Lin Fan blinked a few times. “Are you okay?”

“Ah. I’m okay. Why wouldn’t I be? Let me rest for a moment. We’ll continue in a while.” Wang Ming Yang was weak and powerless as he waved his hand.

Xu Zi Le had her head lowered. She was so drunk that she didn’t want to talk anymore. She seemed to be thinking about something. In reality, her head was spinning and turning. She was so dizzy that it was hard to take.

Wu Huan Yue quickly poured three glasses of water.

“Sister Xu, Brother Wang, drink some water,” said Wu Huan Yue.

Xu Zi Le placed her hand over Wu Huan Yue’s shoulder. Her eyes squinted as she said, “Huan Yue, let me tell you. Tonight, Sister Xu said she will help you, so she will help you. Trust Sister Xu, okay?”

Wu Huan Yue was embarrassed. “Sister Xu, you drank too much.”

“No. I’m fine. This bit of alcohol isn’t even enough to warm me up. I’ll drink again in a bit.” Xu Zi Le waved her hand. She probably didn’t even know what she was talking about anymore.

Lin Fan looked at the time. “It’s getting late. Let’s end this here for tonight.”
