Chapter 177 - 104: Seductive Woman [6,000 Words!] (2)
Li Younan nodded with some frustration, "In your current state, you definitely can’t beat me. How about this, if you’re really dissatisfied, we can play again tomorrow. You’ll be in better condition then."
Liao Xinchun took a deep breath, slapped the table, and stood up. She staggered over until she was nearly face to face with Li Younan, her breath, tinged with the scent of red wine, gently sprayed onto Li Younan’s face. Staring into his eyes, she said earnestly, "No way, one last game. I won’t believe it today."
Seeing this, Li Younan felt a bit helpless, thought for a moment, and realized he had to let her win a bit.
Halfway through the game, Li Younan deliberately made two mistakes, but probably because Liao Xinchun was drunk, she didn’t notice them, and instead made two bad moves herself.
Li Younan sighed repeatedly, finally couldn’t help but make another big mistake, which Liao Xinchun did notice.
Her eyes lit up, and she said triumphantly, "Finally caught the opportunity, didn’t I?"
She tapped the screen with her finger, ready to make a move.
Li Younan patiently waited for her to make the move, but at that moment, Liao Xinchun’s smile slowly faded. She stared at the digital chessboard, then looked at Li Younan across from her. Her expression suddenly turned solemn, "You let me win."
Li Younan blinked and quickly shook his head, "No, no, don’t overthink it. I just didn’t play this game well."
Liao Xinchun was silent for a moment and said again, "You let me win."
Still a bit upset, she sat down and didn’t speak for a long time.
Li Younan blinked, "Uh, are you okay?"
Liao Xinchun looked at Li Younan and suddenly took the still quite full bottle of red wine and drank two large gulps straight from the bottle.
Li Younan was startled and hurriedly went over to stop her.
Liao Xinchun said discontentedly, "A loss is a loss; I accept the consequences. Give it to me."
She held out her hand.
Li Younan said helplessly, "There’s really no need for this. How about this, I’ll drink the rest, okay?"
Liao Xinchun tilted her head, her gaze already a bit blurred, suddenly furrowed her brow and said, "You... you want to snatch my wine."
At this moment, Li Younan felt like slapping himself. Had he known she had such poor drinking habits, he shouldn’t have let her drink wine, nor should he have made a bet with her.
"That’s not it," Li Younan said.
"Then return my wine to me," Liao Xinchun demanded.
Li Younan sighed slightly, "I’m a bit thirsty."
He then took half the bottle of wine and drank it straight, "glug-glug." This wine wasn’t of great quality; it was a bit sour.
After drinking it, Li Younan placed the empty bottle on the table, "There, it’s finished."
Liao Xinchun was still repeating her earlier words, but this time with a tinge of grievance, "You snatched my wine."
Li Younan finally couldn’t help but tap her head lightly and said, "Yes, I snatched it, what now?"
Liao Xinchun, perhaps due to the intoxication, had a delayed reaction, and after a moment of surprise, widened her eyes in disbelief that Li Younan had actually tapped her head.
Li Younan asked, "What’s your room number? I’ll take you back."
Liao Xinchun lowered her head, "333."
Li Younan thought for a moment, 333, well, that’s the same floor as his.
Li Younan said, "Alright, I’ll take you back to your room to rest."
Liao Xinchun nodded.
At this point, Liao Xinchun was still quite drunk, but not to the point where she couldn’t stand up steadily.
Li Younan didn’t have to exert much effort to get her back to her room.
Liao Xinchun’s room was the same type as his; if he had bought a ticket himself, it would cost over 5,000 yuan.
The same king-size bed, the same private little balcony.
Though the room was small, it was fully equipped with facilities.
After taking Liao Xinchun back to her room, Li Younan naturally prepared to leave.
At this moment, Liao Xinchun suddenly seemed a bit more sober and said, "Since you’re here, have some fruit."
Li Younan chuckled, "No need for fruit, right?"
Liao Xinchun suddenly furrowed her brow.
The two stood in the room, with Li Younan backed up against the door.
Liao Xinchun looked at Li Younan and suddenly kicked the door shut with a "bang."
Liao Xinchun looked at Li Younan, "Are you really a man?"
A trace of bewilderment appeared on Li Younan’s face.
Hmm?
...
Strictly speaking, the schedule on the cruise was quite packed.
The anticipated scenario of being bored while dazing on the ship most of the time hadn’t happened.
The next day, passing through Zhong County, they could watch the live performance of "Smoke and Fire of the Three Kingdoms."
When Li Younan woke up, it was already nine o’clock.
After washing up, he prepared to get some food at the restaurant.
As he passed room 333, he hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door.
After a while, a groggy voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
Li Younan softly asked, "Are you okay?"
Hearing Li Younan’s voice, Liao Xinchun inside obviously hesitated.
She paused for a moment, and her voice regained a bit of clarity, saying, "What could be wrong with me?"
Li Younan replied, "As long as you’re fine."
Recalling the scene from last night, Li Younan felt a bit stressed.
He walked leisurely to the restaurant, but remembering the scene from yesterday, he couldn’t help but find it amusing.
To be honest, Liao Xinchun did have some intentions towards him yesterday.
After kicking the door shut, she directly approached him.
After all, Li Younan had drunk half a bottle of wine, there was some attraction since he’s a normal guy.
It got a bit hectic, and he almost went with the flow.
The most chaotic thought in his mind then was that he didn’t have a girlfriend, and emotionally and rationally, it seemed not wrong. He even thought perfunctorily that a mutual delight was just an encounter with romance.
