Chapter 53: Fourth Brother, You Truly Hide Your Talents Deep Within
“Senior... what a coincidence.”
Upon seeing Mo Siyu, Ma Xiaoshuai and the others nearby sobered up immediately and eagerly gathered around.
Wu Di looked at Chen Fan and asked, “What’s going on?”
Chen Fan briefly explained the situation.
Once he understood the whole story, Wu Di smiled and stepped forward.
“Bro, judging by your outfits, you’re students of Yunhai University too, right?”
“We’re all classmates; there’s no need to get angry over something so trivial.”
“How about this, I’ll apologize on their behalf and make it up to you.”
“Also, I’ll buy you a whole case of beer as a peace offering. How’s that sound?”
With that, Wu Di raised his hand to call the waiter.
“Waiter, bring us another case of beer here...”
“Damn, who the hell do you think you are?”
The young man who had just lost his temper shoved Wu Di, causing him to stagger.
“Who the hell left their zipper down and exposed themselves?”
“And you want to buy me a case of beer?”
“Do you really think I’m short on cash? Like I need your beer?”
In an instant, Luo Wenjie and Ma Xiaoshuai stepped forward, looking ready to fight at any moment.
Wu Di stretched out his hand to stop them.
With a cheerful smile, he looked at the group across the table.
“Bro, sometimes you just have to show mercy.”
“There’s no need to make everyone unhappy over something so minor.”
The young man scoffed.
“Who the hell do you think you are? What the hell does this have to do with you?”
“Get lost!”
Wu Di pointed to the two girls beside him.
“They’re our friends, so naturally their matters are ours too.”
“Bro, tell me, how do you plan to settle this today?”
The young man’s gaze swept over Chen Fan and the others standing behind Wu Di, then he sneered.
“A bunch of freshmen rookies...”
“If you want to meddle, fine. I want to see how you’re going to handle this.”
“Are you going to settle this with words or with fists?”
Wu Di frowned.
“So what if it’s with words? And so what if it’s with fists?”
The young man replied coldly, “It’s simple. If it’s with words...”
He glanced down at the T-shirt he was wearing.
“See this? It’s a brand name.”
“It got stained when she accidentally knocked over my drink.”
“Compensate me a thousand yuan, and we can forget about it.”
Hearing this, Sun Hao immediately got angry.
“You’re extorting us?”
“Extortion? This is a brand name! Do you even know what a brand name is?”
Ma Xiaoshuai sneered.
“Isn’t that just Adidas? You think I’ve never worn it before?”
Wu Di stopped Ma Xiaoshuai with a hand and stared at the other party, continuing to ask.
“And if it’s with fists?”
The young man replied coldly, “Fists are even simpler.”
He grabbed a bottle of white liquor nearby and poured a full glass into the beer mug in front of him.
With a loud thud, he set it on the table.
Then he pointed to the girl beside Mo Siyu.
“Have her drink this all in one go, and apologize to me personally. Then this matter is settled.”
Wu Di’s expression darkened somewhat but he gritted his teeth.
“I’ll drink it for her.”
No sooner had he spoken than the man across the table laughed.
“Oh, a hero wants to save the beauty?”
“Fine, I’ll make it easy for you.”
He grabbed two more glasses and poured them all full.
“Drink up. If you down these three glasses, today’s matter is over.”
Wu Di was stunned.
He wasn’t good at drinking white liquor, and he had already had quite a lot tonight.
“Damn, this guy is deliberately picking a fight.”
“Don’t waste your breath talking to him...”
Just as the drunken Luo Wenjie was about to make a move, Chen Fan quickly stopped him and stepped forward, standing beside Wu Di.
“I’ll drink it for her.”
Wu Di was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting Chen Fan to step up.
Chen Fan didn’t explain but simply waved at the waiter, asking him to bring two large bowls.
In front of the other table’s people, Chen Fan poured all three glasses of white liquor into the bowls, then grabbed another bottle and emptied it clean with a “duang duang duang” sound.
While pouring, expressionless, he said, “Don’t say I’m bullying you. If you’ve got the guts, pick someone to face me today.”
“If he can finish before I do, I’ll not only apologize but also compensate you a thousand yuan for your ruined clothes.”
“If you lose, then just apologize honestly to the young lady.”
Bang!
Chen Fan slammed the empty bottle on the table, looking at the opposite table with a mocking gaze.
“What, chickened out? Are you even a man?”
“Damn! Who the hell are you insulting?”
“Brother Ming, go against him!”
Provoked by Chen Fan, the group immediately got angry.
The Adidas-wearing youth, egged on by his friends, gritted his teeth and stood up.
“Damn it, I’ll make sure you die a clear death today.”
“If you don’t pay, I’ll kill you.”
He then opened a bottle of white liquor and poured it all into a large bowl in front of him.
Wu Di and Ma Xiaoshuai had sobered up and stood beside Chen Fan, their eyes filled with concern.
After all, Chen Fan had already drunk at least six bottles of beer earlier.
They really didn't know if Chen Fan could still drink.
“Start!”
At the command, Chen Fan and the Adidas youth simultaneously lifted their bowls.
Gulp gulp gulp...
The young man drank quickly, but after just a few big gulps, his expression instantly turned uncomfortable.
This was 42-degree white liquor; drinking so much at once was unbearable for his stomach.
After only two sips, he felt his stomach churn violently.
By contrast, Chen Fan’s drinking speed was not fast but steady and rhythmic.
He didn’t pause even once and downed the entire bottle of white liquor as if it were water.
If it weren’t for the fact that they bought the liquor, these people might have suspected Chen Fan was drinking plain water.
Chen Fan flipped his bowl upside down, signaling he had finished.
Seeing this, the Adidas youth immediately lost his temper.
Pfft.
He couldn’t hold back any longer and spat it all out.
Then he crouched down, retching violently.
“Brother Ming, are you okay?”
Knowing he had lost face today, the Adidas youth struggled to suppress his gagging and gestured for his friends to help him away.
“Bastard, we’ll see about this.”
“If you’ve got guts, leave your contact info. I won’t let this go... ugh...”
Hearing this, Wu Di stepped forward and put his arm around Chen Fan’s shoulder.
“Listen up. My name’s Wu Di, a first-year marketing major at the School of Economics and Management. I live in Dorm 8. Feel free to come find me anytime.”
Luo Wenjie pointed to himself.
“My name’s Luo Wenjie. You’re welcome to find me anytime too.”
The Adidas youth covered his mouth, nodded to them, and said,
“Fine, we’ll see about this... ugh... yuk!”
He didn’t finish speaking before turning and running off, vomiting as he went.
“Tsk tsk, what a spectacle. Shame I didn’t bring a camera.”
Wu Di clicked his tongue mockingly, then turned excitedly and slapped Chen Fan’s shoulder.
“Damn. Didn’t expect that.”
“Old Four, you’re really hiding your strength. So you were holding back on the drinking just now.”
At that moment, Chen Fan felt his stomach churning wildly and his head spinning.
Wu Di’s slap nearly made him vomit on the spot.
Mo Siyu came over excitedly.
“Junior Chen Fan, I didn’t expect you to be so impressive. You’re amazing.”
Chen Fan smiled wryly and shook his head, forcing himself to stay clear-headed.
At this moment, Mo Siyu’s friend stepped forward, her beautiful eyes fixed curiously on Chen Fan.
“Thank you.”
“For helping with my matter.”
Chen Fan waved his hand.
“This was really our fault. If my friend hadn’t thrown up just now, you wouldn’t have bumped into their table.”
Mo Siyu smiled brightly, linking arms with her friend.
“Oh? So polite?”
“Could it be that you’re only so courteous because my friend is pretty?”
Chen Fan shook his head with a wry smile, no longer wanting to say anything for fear of vomiting.
Mo Siyu continued cheerfully.
“By the way, you guys don’t know each other yet, right? Let me introduce you.”
“This is my good friend, Xu Qiuzi...”
