The Beautiful Time With You

“Yaoyao, beer is only nice when you drink it in large mouthfuls. You’re being too reserved here…”

As Liang Mumu spoke, she gave a demonstration to Yaoyao. She lifted her half-drunk bottle up to her lips and gulped it down in one mouthful.

Smacking the empty bottle back onto the table, Liang Mumu turned to Shi Yao and said encouragingly, “Yaoyao, you should give it a try too!”

“Alright, I’ll give it a try then…” Looking at Liang Mumu’s expectant eyes, Shi Yao lifted up her bottle, and instead of her previous small sip, she took in a large mouthful in one gulp this time around.

“That’s the way to go!” Liang Mumu said as she opened up another bottle of beer. “Come, on, Yaoyao. Let’s continue!”

Before long, there was an empty beer bottle in front of Shi Yao and three in front of Liang Mumu.

Shi Yao felt that they already had enough for the night, so she tried to stop Liang Mumu, “Mumu, you already drank quite a bit…”

“This is nothing at all! Let’s have our fill tonight! It’s rare for us to get the chance to hang out with each other like this, so we should let loose and have as much fun as possible…” Liang Mumu said as she opened six bottles of beer simultaneously and placed three in front of her and three in front of Shi Yao. “Come on, Yaoyao. Let’s continue…”

Liang Mumu was the first to finish her three bottles of beer. When she finally started opening another new bottle, she didn’t open another beer bottle but the bottle of vodka instead, saying, “There’s really no kick from drinking beer. I want to have some vodka…”

It was only when Liang Mumu had two shots of vodka that Shi Yao finally drank to the end of her three bottles of beer.

Liang Mumu didn’t open any new beer bottles for Shi Yao and poured half a shot of vodka for her instead, “Come on, Yaoyao. Give this a try. This vodka is of really high quality, the taste is quite rich…”

But Shi Yao shook her head and said, “Mumu, I already drank quite a lot. I can’t have any more than that…”

“Trust me, you’ll be fine! Look how much I poured for you, and look how much I’ve had…” Liang Mumu gestured to their shot glasses. “… Come on, Yaoyao. After drinking this shot, I’m going to go dance for a bit…”

Shi Yao hesitated for a moment, but she eventually lifted the shot glass and drank to the bottom of it along with Liang Mumu.

After which, Liang Mumu really dived into the middle of the dance floor to join the crowd.

On the other hand, Shi Yao put on her gloves and began feasting on her duck neck. Staring at Liang Mumu on the dance floor, she began resting her head on one hand.

While staring intently at Liang Mumu’s figure, Shi Yao’s eyes gradually became a little glazed.

Sometime later, Shi Yao took off her gloves and headed to the bathroom.

When she came out, the area where she and Liang Mumu had been sitting at was already crowded with people.

Her footsteps halted for a moment. By then, Liang Mumu spotted her and beckoned her over, “Yaoyao, come here!”

Shi Yao gave a smile as she began making her way over.

When she came closer, Liang Mumu wrapped her hand around Shi Yao’s arm and introduced her to the crowd, “Shi Yao, my best friend.”

“Yaoyao, they’re my friends too. I met them earlier when I was on the dance floor, so I invited them over to hang out for a while…”

“… This young man over here is the eldest son of the Song Family. His uncle often appears on television, so you might have seen him before. It’s really no joke when I tell you this, but his background is not to be underestimated… This young lady over here is a daughter of the Xia Family. She has a Chinese-American background, and her mother’s family wields quite some influence in America…”

Liang Mumu quickly introduced everyone around her, and for each person introduced they would raise their cups and propose a toast to Shi Yao as a gesture of goodwill.

Out of politeness, Shi Yao could only raise her glass and reciprocate their gestures accordingly.

Liang Mumu had really met quite a few friends on the dance floor. Just halfway across the circle, Shi Yao could already feel her stomach getting bloated.

She glanced at Liang Mumu, who was still amiably introducing her other friends to her, and she pressed her lips slightly together. Then, she continued drinking toasts with the others, a polite smile on her face as she drank down cup after cup.
