Chapter 168: Second Drunk

When Qin Ge left the library, he still took a few books with him, after registering them with librarian Mei Ling; together with Ou Gen Qin Wang, they left the library amid Mei Ling's enigmatic smile.

After leaving the library, the two did not go straight back to the Reception House; instead, they walked together to a nearby shop, picked up a few bottles of wine and some snacks, and then returned together to the Reception House.

Since the shop in the school charges no fees, the two also chose alcohol they had never drunk before—for example, brandy, chilled whiskey, and Donghuang baijiu, and so on.

After returning to the second floor of the Reception House, Qin Ge glanced at the common area and said, "Um, Ou Gen, I don't think drinking here is a good idea; otherwise, let's change the place?"

"That's true, after all there are children in our Fleet; if we lead them astray it wouldn't be good. Commander, where do you think would be more suitable to move to?" Ou Gen Qin Wang said in agreement.

"How about we just stay in the room?" Qin Ge said to Ou Gen Qin Wang.

"The room?" Ou Gen Qin Wang smiled, "Then why not my room? Besides, it's closer to the stairs, so when her Commission Group returns we can hear them and go greet them promptly."

Qin Ge thought for a moment, "That works."

Thus Qin Ge followed Ou Gen Qin Wang to her room.

Actually, Qin Ge was still quite curious about Ou Gen Qin Wang's room, because Ou Gen Qin Wang usually had a steady demeanor, so he wondered what her room was really like.

As Ou Gen Qin Wang opened the door, Qin Ge found the room's furnishings neat and orderly, completely unlike the relatively messy arrangement in Ling Bo's room across the hall; moreover, it was very simple, giving off a somewhat military bearing.

"Commander, please sit wherever you like," Ou Gen Qin Wang said to Qin Ge, who was looking around.

"Oh." Qin Ge nodded and sat down on the Sofa to the side.

"Ou Gen, why does your room have a Sofa? I don't recall that rooms are supposed to have a Sofa."

Sitting on the Sofa, Qin Ge said somewhat doubtfully to Ou Gen Qin Wang.

"The stools here are rather hard, and I'm not used to sitting on tatami like the Sakura Empire girls do, so I got a long Sofa and a coffee table; when I have nothing to do I can even lie on it, which is quite nice," Ou Gen Qin Wang explained to Qin Ge.

"I see." Qin Ge nodded, "The habits of the shipgirls differ by faction—for example, Ling Bo and Nengdai's rooms have tatami and low tables, while several Royal shipgirls' rooms each have a small round table and a few chairs."

Thus Ou Gen Qin Wang having a Sofa here also fits her personality rather well.

Immediately afterward, Ou Gen Qin Wang took out the books Qin Ge had borrowed from the library earlier, as well as the wine and food the two had picked up at the shop.

"I didn't pay attention and ended up with all this stuff at once," Qin Ge said, looking at the pile on the table, and couldn't help but let out a wry laugh.

"Hehe, if we can't finish it this time we can save it for next time; besides, there are also some snacks here that we could give to Ling Bo and the others, but as for this alcohol, we two will have to polish it off together," Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

Qin Ge glanced at the wine on the table and said, "We'll do our best."

"Hehe, Commander, are you scared?" Ou Gen Qin Wang taunted.

"How could I be afraid? It's just that you can't hold much liquor and end up passing out like last time, leaving me the only one drinking," Qin Ge said to Ou Gen Qin Wang, his words full of amusement.

"Hmm? It seems the Commander doubts my drinking capacity; if so, let's have a match today to see how much we can drink. Besides, the loser must promise the winner a condition," Ou Gen Qin Wang said to Qin Ge.

"A condition?" Qin Ge blinked, "Can it be anything?"

Ou Gen Qin Wang rolled her eyes, smiling narrowly, and said, "Of course, any condition is fine."

Qin Ge chuckled, "Then you're definitely going to lose."

"We haven't compared yet, who knows." Ou Gen Qin Wang said, then sat down, twisted open a bottle of whiskey, took out two glasses, and poured each of them half a glass.

"Come on, Commander." Ou Gen Qin Wang raised her glass and smiled at Qin Ge.

"Come." Qin Ge smiled and nodded, raised his cup and lightly tapped it against the Forehead Warm Clear King's cup, then drank it in one gulp.

"Hiss... impressive." Qin Ge shook the empty whiskey cup in his hand, looked at the empty cup and said, "Whiskey is still quite strong."

Meanwhile, Ou Gen Qin Wang also drank a cup of alcohol, a faint blush rising on her face.

Seeing this, Qin Ge laughed and said to Ou Gen Qin Wang, "Ou Gen, if you admit defeat now, you don't have to fulfill the condition."

"Huh? Commander, are you looking down on me?" Ou Gen Qin Wang said, "This little bit of alcohol could defeat me? You're really underestimating me, Ou Gen Qin Wang."

Qin Ge shrugged, "Well then, shall we go again?"

"Of course!" Ou Gen Qin Wang said firmly.

Thus it went, after three rounds of drinking, Ou Gen Qin Wang lay completely on the Sofa; at this moment her shoes had also been taken off, her whole face was very red, and even her gestures were filled with a different kind of allure.

Qin Ge had also drunk quite a bit by then, but his mind was still clear. So he said to Ou Gen Qin Wang lying on the Sofa, "Ou Gen, you can't drink anymore; let me help you to the bed to sleep."

Ou Gen Qin Wang seemed not to have heard, still reclining sideways on the Sofa. Qin Ge, unable to do anything else, could only approach her and gently pat her.

"... Huh? What is it? Oh, it's the Commander." Ou Gen Qin Wang opened her eyes and saw Qin Ge patting her.

Qin Ge said to Ou Gen Qin Wang, "Ou Gen, you're drunk; let me help you to the bed to lie down."

"I'm not drunk…" Ou Gen Qin Wang casually patted Qin Ge's arm, then looked at him with a seductive gaze and said, "Could it be that the Commander wants to take advantage of my drunkenness to do something to me? Hehe…"

Qin Ge looked at Ou Gen Qin Wang, who was hiccuping and wearing a seductive expression, and his face involuntarily reddened as he said, "Who would want to do anything to you…"

But it seemed that Ou Gen Qin Wang hadn't heard his words at all; instead she went on saying to Qin Ge, "Hehe… Commander, you're showing an unpromising expression… your face is so red, are you drunk~?"

Qin Ge couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that if he had known not to drink like this with Ou Gen Qin Wang, he wouldn't have let her become like this.

"You're drunk, I'll take you to sleep." Qin Ge suddenly lifted Ou Gen Qin Wang from the Sofa and walked toward the bed.

However, holding soft jade in his arms, even though Qin Ge showed no signs of drunkenness on his face, this touch and Ou Gen Qin Wang's exhaled breath also gave him a somewhat intoxicated feeling.

"Hmm? Commander, do you want to sleep with me? You're such a little lecher, hahaha~"
