Chapter 299 - A Drinking Contest!

On the other side.

Zhou Yu and Wang Xinyue arrived at a bar.

Inside one of the bar’s booths, two men and a woman were already seated.

“Yueyue, you’re finally here, we’ve been waiting just for you.”

The girl immediately welcomed her, hugging Wang Xinyue’s arm; evidently, they were very close.

“Eh?

Yueyue, who is this?

How come I’ve never seen him before?”

The girl noticed Zhou Yu and curiously asked.

The two men beside her also sized up Zhou Yu.

A sly look flashed in Wang Xinyue’s eyes.

She pulled Zhou Yu in front of her and said,

“Zhou Yu, let me introduce my friends to you.”

“This is Xuanxuan, my bestie, isn’t she pretty?

She has loads of admirers.”

“This is Yuan Long, and the one next to him is Ding Yang.”

“Both of them are my classmates.”

After that, Wang Xinyue said to the three,

“This is Zhou Yu, and let me tell you, he can really hold his liquor.

He insisted on coming with me to the bar when he heard I was coming.”

“I mentioned that you guys can drink a lot, and he said he could drink you under the table single-handedly.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was utterly astonished.

This girl could lie without batting an eyelid.

When had he ever said such a thing, and besides, what does drinking have to do with one hand or two hands?

Yuan Long and Ding Yang immediately felt aggrieved when they heard this.

The two got up and approached Zhou Yu.

“Dude, you’re quite bold.”

“Originally, we were going to show some respect for a friend brought by Xinyue, but since you’re being so arrogant, don’t blame us for not holding back.”

Duang!

Yuan Long put two crystal bottles of foreign liquor heavily down on the table in front of Zhou Yu.

“Kid, if you’re a man, let’s see you prove it.”

“Whichever one of us chickens out has to kneel and call the other ‘big brother’.”

Zhou Yu chuckled,

“I’m afraid of drinking too much and causing trouble, let’s forget it.”

“Heh, chickened out pretty quickly.”

Ding Yang looked at him with contempt.

“Xinyue, why did you bring such a coward?

Yet you talked him up so much.”

“Exactly.”

“Since you’re such a coward, we won’t force you, just call us ‘big brother’ twice to entertain us.” Yuan Long said with a playful look at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu’s eyebrows arched.

“What I meant was I’m afraid of drinking you guys under the table.”

The faces of Yuan Long and Ding Yang stiffened, and then they angrily said,

“Hey, kid, you’re challenging us?”

“Come on, today the coward is the loser.”

Finished speaking, Yuan Long directly picked up the bottle and started chugging.

He gulped down half of it in one go.

Afterward, he looked at Zhou Yu challengingly.

“What’s the matter?

Chickened out?”

Zhou Yu just shrugged.

“Since that’s the case, then I’ll just join you for a drink.”

After saying that, Zhou Yu picked up the bottle and began to chug.

After a few gulps, he had finished the bottle.

This shocked everyone present.

“Got some skills, eh.”

Yuan Long paused for a moment, not wanting to be outdone, he quickly finished what was left in his bottle.

“Another round.”

Yuan Long snapped his fingers, and the waiter hurried over with two more bottles.

At this point, Wang Xinyue became somewhat nervous.

They were drinking too fiercely, and at this rate, something was bound to go wrong.

All she wanted was to get Zhou Yu drunk and take the opportunity to ask about the Yongle Palace affair, yet she did not want either of them to get hurt.

“Alright, alright, stop it.

I was just kidding earlier.

Zhou Yu didn’t say he wanted to drink you under the table,” Wang Xinyue stood up to intervene.

However, Yuan Long was clearly already in over his head.

He picked up the bottle and started drinking again.

Zhou Yu cracked a slight smile and downed his bottle as well.

In a blink, both of them had finished another bottle.

Yuan Long was already unstable on his feet, his eyes red as he looked at Zhou Yu.

“Another round.”

Ding Yang knew Yuan Long’s tolerance, and he also knew this alcohol had a strong aftereffect, so he quickly helped Yuan Long to sit down at the side.

“I’ll do it.”

After saying that, Ding Yang grabbed the bottle and started chugging.

Clearly, they were planning a tag-team strategy.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned, and nonchalantly drank another two bottles.

This time, Ding Yang couldn’t take it anymore either.

He too started swaying, barely able to stand.

But Zhou Yu was unaffected.

Wang Xinyue and Xuanxuan at the side were utterly astounded.

“Wow, Yueyue, your friend is too incredible,” Xuanxuan exclaimed.

Wang Xinyue replied blankly, “I had no idea he…

he was this fierce!”

After finishing his drink, Zhou Yu directly said to the waiter:

“We’re short on drinks; bring us ten more bottles.”

Pfft—

Ding Yang spit out his drink.

“Big brother, please, stop, I give up…”

“You’re my big brother!

I admit defeat.”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, looking toward Yuan Long.

“Your turn?”

Yuan Long was also startled.

If Zhou Yu had shown any signs of drunkenness, he would have fought to the end, even if it killed him, but Zhou Yu was still like nothing was wrong.

Yuan Long no longer had the courage to continue.

“I also give up, big brother, I’ll call you big brother.”

Zhou Yu chuckled.

These two men were certainly quick to concede.

Wang Xinyue promptly pulled Zhou Yu to sit down.

“Fine, fine, no more jokes, let’s just sit down and chat,” she said.

Once seated, Xuanxuan was clearly curious about Zhou Yu and kept chatting with him.

It wasn’t long before Yuan Long and Ding Yang were clearly feeling the full effect of the alcohol and showed signs of discomfort.

This wasn’t surprising; anyone would feel sick drinking like that.

“Yueyue, I think they can’t take it anymore, we should leave,” Xuanxuan suggested.

Wang Xinyue had not yet achieved her goal for coming today, but seeing that the two were truly out of sorts, she relented,

“Alright then.”

The two of them supported Ding Yang and Yuan Long, preparing to leave.

But at that moment, a large group of youths walked up to them.

The leader of the group laughed and said,

“Xinyue, long time no see.

I didn’t expect to run into you here.

How about joining us for a drink?”

When Wang Xinyue saw this man, she instinctively backed away.

“My friend is drunk, I need to take him home,” she said.

She was about to go around them and leave when from behind the man, a bald man in his thirties stepped forward with a sneer.

“I’m giving you face by inviting you, don’t be disrespectful,” he said.

Originally, Zhou Yu had no intention of getting involved in this matter.

After all, the youth inviting Wang Xinyue to drink didn’t seem to be doing anything too outrageous, and he didn’t know the relationship between Wang Xinyue and these people.

But upon seeing the bald-headed man, Zhou Yu furrowed his brows.

“Is it him?”
