“What are you worried about? As long as you don’t make a mistake, you won’t have to drink anything! Furthermore, it’s men who have to drink one glass. Women only need to drink half. It’s not that much.” Wu Ren laughed until his eyes were half-closed. He reached out for his wife and said, “I’m not showing off, but my wife alone can finish half that bottle.”

Everyone shushed him. They clearly didn’t believe his words.

Similarly, Li Jinnan didn’t believe him either. He retorted, “How is that even possible?”

“Well, you’ll know when it happens,” Wu Ren said. “Come on, let’s start!”

Ye Youyou had been dragged over. She had been having quite a bit of fun with the girl moments before and was willing to give the games a go. However, she became a little hesitant at the thought of having to drink such strong liquor.

The girl beside Ye Youyou nudged her and asked, “Are you able to drink?”

Ye Youyou thought for a moment before replying, “I guess so…”

She used to drink frequently and could hold her alcohol well. But, it had been a long time since. She wasn’t sure if her drinking capacity had declined.

While the girls were still whispering to each other, the game began.

There were many people in the main hall. After the crowd had been divided into groups of 15, there were three groups and one host.

Li Jinnan’s close friends took their respective other halves with them and formed a team with Li Jinnan and Ye Youyou.

Ye Youyou didn’t know anyone. Naturally, and without much thought, she stood by Li Jinnan’s side. The person on the other side of her was Wu Ren’s wife.

The lighting in the main hall dimmed and flashed. Upbeat and energetic music filled the air, getting louder as time passed. Soon, the balloons had been passed between many players. All of them were careful not to drop them.

When it was Ye Youyou’s turn, she was equally careful. She called out, “GM Li, come quickly!”

She retrieved the balloon carefully from the chest of the girl in front of her and gently clipped it between her chin and chest. She turned to pass the balloon over to Li Jinnan’s chest.

Ye Youyou kept her eyes on the balloon the whole time. Only when she finally sensed that Li Jinnan had gotten ahold of the balloon did she relax.

When she looked up, she was met with a pair of shiny black eyes. The colorful lights that flashed around them made his eyes seems even brighter and more dazzling.

Ye Youyou’s heart skipped a beat for some reason. Surprise flashed across her eyes.

Li Jinnan’s eyes didn’t linger for more than a moment. It was as if his gaze had been inadvertent. When he got a grip on the balloon, he turned to pass it to Wu Ren.

One round passed, and everyone was safe and sound. In the second round, a man dropped the balloon. He had clipped the balloon too tightly between his chin and chest, and the balloon had burst. The girl beside him got a shock and yelped out loud.

The guy shrugged his shoulders helplessly and commented, “I couldn’t help it. The girl beside me was too beautiful. My heart couldn’t stop beating hard.”

Everyone around him could not help but laugh. After he downed a glass of whiskey, his face was still relaxed, as if nothing had happened.

Another round of the game followed In the fourth round, someone made a mistake. As the balloon was being passed to Ye Youyou, Wu Ren’s wife had released it before she was able to grip it firmly.

With a yelp of panic, Ye Youyou reached her hands out to catch it. The moment her hands touched the balloon, someone yelled out, “Hey! That’s not allowed!”

“You broke the rule! You broke the rule!”

“Drink up! Drink up!”

Ye Youyou’s face burned with embarrassment. She hadn’t expected that the second person to receive a forfeit would be her.

When Wu Ren handed the glasses over to her, she accepted her fate resignedly.

The game continued. For some reason, Li Jinnan didn’t secure his hold on the balloon. Slowly but surely, the balloon drifted its way down.
