Chapter 75: Just Good Brothers?

The staff, being observant, followed Jian Li’s steps and brought several large glasses of ‘Deep Water Bombs’ to the two men.

Seeing Lu Siqi’s dark expression, Jian Li curved his lips into a smile, “What’s wrong, are you scared?”

“If you’re scared, just say it, kneel down and call me ‘Sir,’ and Brother Li will definitely let you off!”

“I just love how Brother Li is so cool and awesome, it totally matches my current state of mind!”

“Can we just drink him to death? I really don’t want to see him act up anymore!”

“Hold on, did you sign a waiver? Don’t come crying to Brother Li if you die from drinking!”

Lu Siqi, a seasoned drinker with some capacity, picked up the glass, “If you insist on going all the way, then I won’t hold back.”

Hearing this, Jian Li sneered, “Wasn’t it you who challenged me to this?”

“Now you’re pretending to care about me?”

“Who taught you to be so manipulative and deceitful?”

“Could it be Lu Yuanhang?”

Lu Siqi’s face turned completely black, and he said no more, picking up the glass and starting to drink.

Beside him, Jian Li didn’t fall behind, gulping down the drink, catching up quickly.

After a few rounds, Lu Siqi finally couldn’t hold on, shaking his head and looking at Jian Li with blurred vision, “Can you still drink?”

“So what, are you backing out?” Jian Li raised an eyebrow in response.

Lu Siqi, “I—”

He wavered for a moment, about to fall forward.

Jian Li nimbly dodged, letting Lu Siqi fall flat on the stage, “So weak?”

“Still have the nerve to challenge me?!”

“Jian Li—” A sharp voice came from the dining area, “Why didn’t you catch Brother Qi when he fell?! What if he gets hurt?!”

“What if he sues us?!”

Lu Yuanhang shouted as he rushed over, ready to start berating.

“Why should I catch him?” Jian Li pursed his lips, “What if he tries to extort me?”

“These days, anyone can be a scoundrel, especially someone like you two.”

“No, I love how Brother Li talks! I’m really impressed!”

“Right, we can help anyone but not a scoundrel! Scoundrels extort people!”

“Lu Yuanhang knows how to play the guilt card, but our Brother Li doesn’t have a moral bone in his body, hahahaha—”

Jian Li ignored the aggressive Lu Yuanhang, jumping off the stage and returning to his seat.

“Brother Li, you’re so cool!” Yuan Feng gave a thumbs-up, eyes full of admiration.

Luo Xiaohong pouted, “You’re such a drinker, why didn’t you tell us before?!”

She pushed two mugs of beer towards him, “Make me a Deep Water Bomb, it looks so good!”

“Ha, I thought Miss Invincible was going to complain about Brother Li, but you’re giving him two Deep Water Bombs?!”

“True to form, always thinking about drinking!”

Jian Li didn’t waste words, taking a small glass and pouring strong liquor into the beer, then slamming it down, “Drink up.”

“Thanks, bro,” Luo Xiaohong smiled contentedly, picking up the beer mug.

Jian Li suddenly thought of something and turned to Huo Xiao, “Do you want one? Should I make one for you?”

This drink was potent, and even he felt a bit dizzy, his eyes shimmering with a dreamy haze, reflecting the colorful lights around them, almost hypnotic.

Huo Xiao stared intently, licking his dry lips, his voice low and hoarse, “Sure.”

“Put more strong liquor, I like it stronger.”

Jian Li grinned, his bright teeth flashing, “I didn’t expect you to be so...”

“Quiet about what?”

“Quietly seductive?”

Jian Li’s heart skipped a beat, “I didn’t say that, you did!”

His hands moved faster, preparing a drink to hand over, then suddenly decided to joke, “Should I taste it first to check the strength?”

“Sure,” Huo Xiao’s eyes were dark, “That would be best.”

Jian Li took a sip from the rim of the glass, “It’s strong enough to get you drunk.”

Huo Xiao nodded, taking the glass and adjusting it to touch the spot where Jian Li had tasted...

The other guests were stunned, their eyes wide with shock.

Yuan Feng, “...” Holy crap, can it get any more intense?!

Zhou Nan, "..." So flirtatious? Did I just see that wrong?!

Shi Huayi, "..." Damn, really good at it!

Nan Nan, "..." I’m shipping them hard!

Luo Xiaohong, "..." What does that alcohol taste like? Give me a sip!

---

Lu Siqi went to the restroom and vomited out all the alcohol in his stomach before he felt slightly more sober.

Without turning around, he grabbed the hand supporting him, "Did you do this on purpose? Just wanted to see me in such a sorry state?"

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Do you want me back now?"

Lu Siqi suppressed his voice, about to turn around, but then he heard a voice that made him feel an immense sense of disappointment,

"Bro Si, what are you talking about? I didn’t leave, and I won’t leave," Lu Yuanhang’s voice was filled with concern, soft and overly sweet, "As long as you need me, I’ll always be by your side!"

"That Jian Li was too much, getting you so drunk that he didn’t even bother to help you up, and then went back to his seat to cozy up with Huo Xiao. I couldn’t stand it!"

Lu Siqi’s face turned cold instantly as he pulled his arm back and leaned against the stall, turning his head to ask with a snort, "It was always you?"

"Jian Li didn’t care about me at all?!"

"Yes," Lu Yuanhang blinked his innocent eyes, "The moment I saw Bro Si fall, I rushed up to the stage."

"I scolded him, but he wouldn’t listen, and said you were..."

"What did he say?" Lu Siqi pressed.

Lu Yuanhang whispered, "He called you a waste of space."

"And said we’re both scum."

"Bro Si, I didn’t exaggerate at all. If you don’t believe me, you can check the live stream replay."

Lu Siqi fell silent, but the aura around him grew increasingly violent, scaring Lu Yuanhang into stopping.

"Bro Si, don’t be angry."

"He’s just a dog that can’t be tamed, why bother..."

Lu Siqi glared at him, "Shut up!"

After saying that, he forced himself to walk out.

By now, the drinking competition had ended, and the lights on the stage lit up.

Zhou Nan and Shi Huayi stood together, giving the sound engineer a nod.

The speakers connected to their phones played a familiar electronic tune from China.

The chat messages suddenly flooded in,

"Wait, what song is this? The intro sounds so familiar, controlling me for twenty seconds!"

"No way, no way, they’re actually going to sing 'Sad Pacific'?!"

"It feels like we’ve gone back to the era of Little Qi, full of gangster vibes!"

"Hahaha, exposing our age!"

"Is leaving really cruel, or is gentleness the real danger?"

The two sang in perfect harmony, and the atmosphere on the scene exploded instantly.

Yuan Feng excitedly raised his hands, "Aaaaaah—"

"Bro Huayi, Bro Nan! I love you guys—"

Jian Li’s lips curved into a smile as he looked at the two singing "deeply" on stage. Suddenly overcome with emotion, he draped his arm over Huo Xiao’s shoulder, "Good brother, let’s have one together!"

The scent nearby made Huo Xiao’s Adam’s apple bob, "..." Just good brothers?
