Qiao Xiao’s smile froze for a moment.
“You can quit halfway, but I have to bear the amount lost by everyone next, that’s the rule. Baby, do you know how much it costs to book the venue?”
Li Qiqi didn’t speak again. Qiao Xiao had been in the entertainment industry for many years, and he only had a playful teasing intention towards her. The sweet words in his mouth were three parts true and seven parts false.
That sentence of being reluctant was not really reluctant, and it was even more impossible to spend a sky-high venue fee just to take her away.
She could only rely on herself for winning or losing.
The relationship between the two suddenly stiffened, and the ambiguous atmosphere cooled down.
Qiao Xiao looked lightly at the pure and innocent girl in front of him, watching the light that had just risen in her eyes fall little by little, tapped the wine bottle in her hand lightly with his index finger, and restrained some tenderness.
“The competition continues.”
The following games almost became Diana’s personal performance competition and a ruthless elimination competition for the other participants who were trembling with fear.
The chips on the glass table piled up into a small mountain. The hot music sounded, and the explosive stone platform “performance” stirred everyone’s emotions, opening and closing the curtain again and again.
Li Qiqi always ranked third.
Five bottles of wine went down one after another, and only Qi Xiaoye, Qiao Xiao, and another unfamiliar noble young master remained in front of the table.
According to the previous competition, if there were no accidents, the next person to be eliminated would be Li Qiqi.
The hand holding the wine bottle trembled slightly. Even with her head down, she could clearly feel that everyone around her was staring at her in unison.
Hissing sounds, whistles… They had already sounded before the competition even started. Some of the bolder ones even went directly to the table, flattering Qiao Xiao with flattering expressions.
“Brother Xiao’s woman is really a treasure.”
“If you let us see this look today, I will be your slave and horse in the future without any complaints.”
“If Brother Xiao gets tired of such a beautiful girl one day, can you give me a sip of the soup?”
……
The chattering voices rose and fell, and Qiao Xiao accepted them all. The men had no scruples, and the explicit and lewd words became more and more excessive.
Li Qiqi’s hand holding the wine bottle gradually tightened, and a piercing pain came from the wound in her palm. Finally, she couldn’t bear it any longer and slammed the wine bottle on the table.
“Pa—”
The sound was so loud that it startled everyone into silence.
Little guy, finally lost her temper… Qi Xiaoye almost raised his eyes at the same time, hooked his lips and looked at Li Qiqi, and said playfully.
“Miss Li, don’t want to play anymore?”
He asked implicitly, but Li Qiqi could see the teasing in the man’s eyes, as if he was asking her—
Is this the Brother Xiao you’ve been thinking about?
Li Qiqi knew that Qi Xiaoye had been waiting for her, waiting for her to say that “no” word.
She also knew that as long as she said she didn’t want to, Qi Xiaoye would definitely take her away.
Although the man had not expressed anything from beginning to end, she was very sure.
But… if she accepted Qi Xiaoye’s help and left with him in front of everyone, it would be equivalent to publicly announcing that she had rejected Qiao Xiao’s face, and that there was an unknown relationship between her and Qi Xiaoye.
Then in the future… they would never be able to disentangle.
Li Qiqi restrained her emotions and pursed her lips, smiling at Qi Xiaoye with restraint and shyness.
“Master Qi misunderstood, I’m just a little drunk and didn’t hold it steady. Brother Xiao dotes on me and allows me to lose casually, how can I back down at a critical moment? Let’s continue.”
She looked at Diana, who was as stable as Mount Tai next to Qi Xiaoye, and then looked at the woman on the right hand side, whose body was shaking badly and whose eyes were also beginning to blur.
The fruit wine prepared by Qiao Xiao was indeed high in alcohol. Normal people would definitely not be able to hold on for a few bottles. Li Qiqi’s advantage was truly brought into play after drinking all the way to the present.
She was the only one of the remaining three who had not had any drunkenness after drinking several bottles, so it was really uncertain who would be third in the next round.
Li Qiqi unhurriedly held the wine bottle again.
The waiter pressed the timer, and Diana’s performance was still strong. Although it was a little slower compared to the previous rounds, she drank a bottle of wine in twenty-one seconds, but she still ranked first.
Everyone’s eyes naturally fell on Li Qiqi and another woman.
Li Qiqi’s speed had not changed much compared to before, and the difference between her and the woman was probably only four or five seconds.
They were chasing each other very closely.
Seeing that a bottle of wine was about to bottom out, Li Qiqi still couldn’t catch up. Qi Xiaoye’s eyes sharpened, and he suddenly stood up from the chair.
Almost at the same time, the woman rolled her eyes painfully, and the wine bottle in her hand loosened, and she vomited on the noble young master next to her with a “wow”.
The noble young master’s face turned pale in an instant.
“Ah!!”
“Damn it! Go vomit somewhere else!”
“艹！Someone, someone!! Quickly drag this woman away!! It stinks!”
……
The scene was in chaos, and Li Qiqi took the opportunity to finish the remaining wine, bent over to pick up the wine bottle that the woman had dropped on the ground and hadn’t finished drinking, and shook her arm high in front of everyone.
“I won!”
Her peripheral vision caught Qi Xiaoye, who had stood up at some point, his face so gloomy that he could no longer remain calm.
The man looked at her motionlessly, his eyes full of anger, surprise, disappointment, and also heartache… Seeing this, Li Qiqi’s heart tightened suddenly.
Don’t be afraid, Qiqi… It’s almost over. If this continues, Qi Xiaoye will soon lose interest in you.
Li Qiqi kept comforting herself, pretending to be relaxed and turning her face to look at Qiao Xiao, smiling sweetly at him.
“Brother Xiao, there’s only one last round left.”
“Baby is awesome!”
Qiao Xiao’s interest in Li Qiqi’s body far exceeded the win or loss of the competition. He didn’t have much hope for her, but he didn’t expect this girl to be able to hold on to the end.
The originally indifferent emotions were inexplicably infected, and Qiao Xiao finally had a little more interest in the outcome of the competition. He lay on the back of the chair and looked up at Li Qiqi.
“You seem to… always surprise me.”
“I will later too.”
The two’s eyes met, and Qi Xiaoye on the opposite side slowly sat back in the chair, raising his right hand lightly.
Lin Ke stepped forward behind him and bent over.
The man told him something with a dark gaze, and Lin Ke was shocked. He subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Li Qiqi and Qiao Xiao, and nodded without hesitation.
“Yes, Master Qi, I’ll go arrange it.”
The woman who got third place next to him was already drunk, and this group of people still didn’t plan to let her go. Several bodyguards forcibly dragged the woman to the stone platform at Qiao Xiao’s signal.
Two men, one on the left and one on the right, helped the woman complete the “performance” in a leisurely manner.
As the wine party reached the final battle, Diana, who had always been reluctant to talk to her opponents, opened her mouth calmly and indifferently.
“This lady has a large capacity for alcohol and is better than me. It’s a pity that we’re not just competing for alcohol capacity, but also speed. If you meet someone who can drink as well as you, you can only admit that you’re unlucky.”
Li Qiqi was too lazy to talk nonsense with Diana, and didn’t tell Diana that after being eliminated all the way, the last round was actually the easiest for her.
“Let’s start directly.”
Li Qiqi raised the bottle and authorized the waiter, and the waiter nodded and pressed the timer.
Li Qiqi didn’t rush to drink, holding the wine bottle, she quickly shook it counterclockwise for one second, and the wine formed a strong vortex in the bottle.
She raised her head and drank, her mouth and esophagus were vertical, and the wine in the bottle poured down at an extremely fast speed.
In just six seconds, a bottle of wine was bottomed out.
Li Qiqi lightly put down the wine bottle, ignoring the unstoppable exclamations and cheers from the crowd, and looked lightly at the half bottle of wine in Diana’s hand, and chuckled.
“I won again.”
