Chapter 1366: That Alcohol Tolerance Isn't Very Good Either

Thinking this, Qin Yiyan could only dismiss the thought.

He kissed Liu Xin'ai's forehead with lingering reluctance, then quietly left her room.

The next day—

Liu Xin'ai was woken up by a phone call.

She answered the phone lazily, and then heard an unbelievable voice from the other end: "You're actually still sleeping? Do you have any idea that I barely slept all night!"

Liu Xin'ai yawned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's just... sigh, never mind me for now, Sis, are you alone in the room right now?"

Liu Qingze asked cautiously, terrified of hearing a negative answer.

But Liu Xin'ai felt her brother was doing something unnecessary, frowned, and said, "Does that even need asking? Who else could be here?"

"Ah... Xu Xiaoxiao, obviously."

Poor Xu Xiaoxiao, not only having to take the blame at a critical moment but also serving as a shield.

Fortunately, she knew nothing and was sleeping soundly at this moment.

But Liu Xin'ai was completely out of the loop, asking, "Is Xiao Xiao at the Qin Family?"

Liu Xin'ai's counter-question made Liu Qingze go silent.

A moment later, he asked, "Sis, do you not remember what happened yesterday?"

"I remember, everyone ate together, chatted, the atmosphere was really good."

"Then do you remember what happened after drinking?"

"This..."

Liu Xin'ai tried hard to recall, but discovered...

She didn't remember anything!

This made Liu Xin'ai panic; she clutched her forehead and muttered uneasily, "What's going on, did I lose my memory again?"

"No, you just drank a lot and blacked out."

Liu Qingze's tone was helpless; he felt his sister was becoming increasingly unreliable.

But Liu Xin'ai could not accept such a result.

She raised her eyebrows and argued, "Xiao Xiao and I just had a taste, how could I have blacked out? Stop spouting nonsense."

Heh, just had a taste?

Liu Qingze corrected the person on the other end of the phone: "You two drank three or four bottles of wine; many people saw it, I'm not spouting nonsense!"

What!?

That much wine!!

Liu Xin'ai was stunned, finding it unbelievable.

Liu Qingze continued: "That wine has a high alcohol content, and your tolerance isn't good, so it's normal to black out. By the way, does your head hurt?"

"It didn't hurt before, but now that you mention it... it's starting to."

"That has nothing to do with me saying it; getting drunk just makes it easy to have a headache, but the pain will disappear in half a day at most."

Liu Qingze sounded like an experienced veteran.

This aroused Liu Xin'ai's suspicion, and she asked, "How are you so clear about this?"

"Of course, because I've been drunk before."

"I'm afraid it wasn't just once, right?"

"... Back in my reckless youth, I would occasionally fail to control how much I drank."

Liu Xin'ai did not accept this explanation and said with a serious face, "You are not allowed to get drunk in the future; it's very bad for your health."

"Oh."

"Especially since your stomach isn't good, you should be even more strictly teetotal."

Strictly teetotal? That would be very difficult.

Besides, the bad stomach... was just a pretense.

In fact, Liu Qingze felt his health was perfectly fine.

But to put his sister at ease, Liu Qingze made a promise: "Yes, I'll remember that."

"You must keep your word; I will be checking up on you."

"Don't worry, Sis, I definitely..."

Wait a minute.

What is happening right now?

Weren't they talking about her sister being drunk? How did it turn into him obediently making promises!?

Liu Qingze felt everything was a mess!

Or rather, from the moment this call started, everything had gone haywire.

But there was one point Liu Qingze was relatively satisfied with:

Qin Yiyan had acted like a gentleman for once and didn't stay the night in his sister's room.

However... whether he stayed the night and whether something happened were two different things.

Liu Qingze prepared to be thick-skinned and ask one more time.

But before he could figure out how to bring it up, Liu Xin'ai found a random excuse and hung up the phone.

The feeling of having blacked out was not good.

But fortunately, her drinking companion was still at home.

At this moment, Liu Xin'ai was going to find Xu Xiaoxiao and ask her clearly!

When Liu Xin'ai went to knock on the door, Xu Xiaoxiao came out with a bird's nest of messy hair.

One of her eyes was closed while the other was open.

But before Xu Xiaoxiao could say a single word, she was pulled back into the room by Liu Xin'ai.

Xu Xiaoxiao was completely dazed and asked, "What's wrong, why the rush?"

Liu Xin'ai didn't have time to explain much and asked right away, "How much did we actually drink last night?"

"Just... quite a few bottles, I don't really remember clearly."

So they really did drink that much...

Liu Xin'ai had originally held onto a tiny sliver of hope in her heart.

She hoped that Liu Qingze had remembered wrong.

That they hadn't actually drunk that much.

As it turned out, her hope was dashed.

Liu Xin'ai also completely resigned herself to her fate.

But there was one thing she didn't quite understand: "Why did we drink so much?"

Regarding this, Xu Xiaoxiao was quite carefree: "We drank it, so we drank it. Why ask so much? It was enough that we were happy at the time."

"But I drank so much that I don't remember anything!!"

"Ah, you had a blackout? Oh my, your alcohol tolerance really isn't great."

Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's smiling face, Liu Xin'ai asked, "Do you still remember?"

"Of course I do!"

"Then, did Qin Yiyan get angry when he saw me drunk?"

"He..."

Liu Xin'ai stared at Xu Xiaoxiao without blinking.

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled around in circles again and again.

Finally, she smiled guiltily: "I didn't pay attention."

This result made Liu Xin'ai drop her shoulders, and she said somewhat anxiously, "I think you don't remember either!"

"Who says I don't remember? I just remember that I threw up after coming back last night, and an auntie took care of me!"

After Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she closed her lips.

She thought to herself that this kind of experience... it would have been better to remember nothing at all!!

At this moment, the two women sat there blankly with each other.

A moment later, Xu Xiaoxiao was the first to speak and suggest, "How about we just pretend that what happened yesterday never happened?"

"I think that works."

The two of them nodded in unison, and then sighed in perfect harmony.

In the quiet, a servant came to knock on the door: "Miss Xu, are you up? You can come eat breakfast."

"Oh, coming."

Xu Xiaoxiao responded to the maid outside the door, then cheered herself up with Liu Xin'ai and pulled herself together.

However...

When the two of them, now tidied up, saw Qin Yiyan in the dining room, they both couldn't help but avert their gazes.

Of course, the reasons for their guilt were different.

One was afraid of being scolded.

The other... was afraid of having made a fool of herself.

But Qin Yiyan's expression was as usual.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai, he even asked considerately, "Does your head hurt?"

"No, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"That's good."

Qin Yiyan responded in a gentle tone, then let his gaze fall upon Xu Xiaoxiao.

Although it only lingered for two or three seconds, Xu Xiaoxiao felt it was so long!

Fortunately, Qin Yiyan spoke up quickly, breaking the silence: "I heard Miss Xu threw up quite badly last night. Since there's no food in your stomach now, drink some porridge first to settle your stomach."

Qin Yiyan's voice was still gentle.

But Xu Xiaoxiao felt... that Qin Yiyan had brought this up on purpose!
