Chapter 212: Betting!
Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Was Old Jiang too terrifying? He finished off a whole vat of alcohol by himself. Was his stomach made of iron?
And, wasn't that way too much to drink?
After Old Jiang finished drinking, he wiped his mouth and provocatively looked at Hao Jian.
"See, how can my friend drink like that? Because he's a real man! Hao Jian, if you admit you're not a real man, then you don't have to drink," Yin Donghan said, deliberately using reverse psychology.
"That's just nonsense. If you're so incredible, why don't you drink it yourself instead of making your friend drink it for you?" Che Xiaoxiao sneered, suggesting that if Yin Donghan were really brave, he'd drink the alcohol himself.
"I'm not feeling well today, so I can't drink alcohol, sorry about that," Yin Donghan said pretentiously.
Your next chapter is on empire
Yin Donghan's words also brought a chorus of jeers from everyone, but Yin Donghan acted as if he hadn't heard, just staring fixedly at Hao Jian:
"Well? To drink or not to drink?"
"Teacher Hao, don't bother with him, he's just trying to mess with you," Zhao Yating hurriedly said, also fearing that Hao Jian might fall into Che Xiaoxiao's trap.
"If you're scared, let's just forget I said anything," Yin Donghan said, turning to leave.
"Wait," Hao Jian called out just then.
A sly smirk flashed across Yin Donghan's face, this fool, he's finally fallen for it all because of a moment of impulse.
If Hao Jian had refused, Yin Donghan couldn't have forced him, but now that Hao Jian had recklessly agreed, he had only himself to blame.
"Teacher!" Zhao Yating was startled by this and couldn't help but reach out to grab Hao Jian's arm, seemingly advising him against it.
"Hey, it's your birthday today, how can we spoil the mood? What's wrong with drinking a little?" Hao Jian said with a smile, indicating it was no big deal.
"But so much alcohol, if you drink it all, it's going to harm your body," Zhao Yating still looked very worried.
"Don't worry, if I can't handle it, I'll stop," Hao Jian laughed.
Hearing this, Yin Donghan thought snidely to himself: Stop? I'm afraid by then it won't be up to you.
"Hao Jian is really straightforward, truly a real man," Yin Donghan laughed heartily and then ordered another vat of alcohol.
Afterwards, everyone watched as Old Jiang dumped a variety of random alcohols into the vat, making them shudder at the thought of someone drinking it all; wouldn't he die?
"Hao Jian, it's up to you now," Yin Donghan handed the vat of alcohol to Hao Jian.
Hao Jian looked at the vat and smiled: "I'm not very good with alcohol. If I get drunk and make a fool of myself, please be forgiving."
"No problem, we must be forgiving," Yin Donghan laughed heartily, thinking to himself: That's exactly what I want, for you to make a fool of yourself!
Immediately, Hao Jian tilted his head back and under the astonished eyes of everyone, he began to slowly sip the alcohol from the vat.
But after only seven or eight sips, he started to sway and chuckled bitterly, "This alcohol is really strong!"
Nonsense, after drinking this, I'm staggering; not to mention you, rookie! Old Jiang sneered on the side.
"Teacher, maybe we shouldn't drink anymore?" Seeing Hao Jian like this, Zhao Yating immediately spoke up in advice.
"Hao Jian, you're now a real man; you can't back down halfway," Yin Donghan completely refused to give Hao Jian a chance to stop.
"I know." Hao Jian took a deep breath, picked up the jar of wine with some difficulty, and continued drinking.
Seeing this, Yin Donghan was almost bursting with laughter, this guy was about to be finished! He was almost down for the count!
"Wait a minute, it's just me drinking, and you're not, isn't that a bit unfair?" Hao Jian suddenly stopped again, staring at Yin Donghan with blurred, drunken eyes.
"Oh? So what do you suggest?" Yin Donghan asked with a playful smile, looking at Hao Jian.
"It's simple, if I drink this jar of wine, you don't need to drink, just strip naked and run around this KTV!" Hao Jian slurred.
"This..."
Yin Donghan hesitated, knowing that stripping and running naked would blatantly embarrass him. If he really did that, he would lose face completely.
"What are you afraid of? This guy is so drunk, and two-thirds of it is still left. By the time he finishes those two-thirds, he'll be completely sloshed like a dog, how could he possibly win against you?"
At that moment, Old Jiang urged Yin Donghan in his ear, encouraging him to place the bet with Hao Jian.
"Fine, I'll take that bet!"
Stirred up by his words, Yin Donghan immediately nodded in agreement, firm in his belief that Hao Jian wouldn't last that long.
"Fellow students, you are all witnesses!" Hao Jian, still drunkenly, looked towards the students.
Luo Tong and the others could only smile wryly upon seeing this, clearly believing that Hao Jian had no chance to defeat Yin Donghan, especially in his drunken state.
Suddenly, Hao Jian picked up the jar again and, tilting his head back, gulped it down even more fiercely than Old Jiang had.
It took Old Jiang a few minutes to finish a jar of wine, but Hao Jian finished it in just thirty seconds.
Old Jiang was stunned, so was Yin Donghan, and they suddenly had an ominous feeling—how had this kid suddenly become so fierce?
Hao Jian of course was tricking them. Ever since he was little, he had been steeped in wine. The head of the orphanage where he grew up was a real drunkard and a particularly nasty one at that, who would force-feed Hao Jian with potent medicinal liquor that made him sleep for three to four days each time he drank it.
Over time, his body developed a resistance to alcohol. Not to mention one jar, even six jars like this, he could ensure he stayed sober!
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yating was also dumbfounded, not knowing how Hao Jian had suddenly changed completely, drinking all the wine like that.
"Bang!"
Hao Jian slammed the wine jar down on the table, raised his eyes—none of the drunkenness from before remained, but instead a piercing, spirited gaze as he looked at Yin Donghan:
"Alright, now you can start stripping and do your naked run!"
The crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter—they finally realized that Hao Jian had been pretending to be drunk all along, just to bait Yin Donghan into making that bet, and then he completely outsmarted him!
"Yin Donghan, a bet's a bet, time to strip down," Luo Tong said with a cold laugh, initially thinking that Yin Donghan was scheming against Hao Jian, only now realizing it was Yin Donghan who had dug his own grave. It was really too amusing.
"Yeah, you made the bet yourself, I assume you're not going to back out now, are you?" Che Xiaoxiao also looked at Yin Donghan with curious eyes, feeling utterly delighted.
This fool, daring to challenge Hao Jian, was literally asking for it.
Yin Donghan's expression was dark, his gaze sharp as he stared at Hao Jian: "Are you playing me?"
