142: tacit understanding

The game began, and of course, the first thing to do was pour the drinks.

Although everyone present wanted to try the Belle-Epoque or the Armand de Brignac, no one dared to open them.

They were too expensive.

In bars, there were actually many people who showed off like this; after ordering the Dasan Yuan and the Da Shen Long, they would just display them as a formality, not open them, and only drink ordinary beverages.

Bars allowed storing liquor, so every time they came, they could create a spectacle.

These types were usually second-generation rich kids who came to bars to pick up girls.

With a display of wealth and driving luxury cars, young girls who hadn't experienced much of the world would easily fall for them.

As they were about to open the drinks given by the sales staff, Xu Zimo stopped them, saying, "Wait."

With that, he decisively and smoothly opened all of the Dasan Yuan and the five bottles of Armand de Brignac.

The popping sounds of the bottle caps made their eyes light up more and more, and they felt their heartbeats quicken.

Opening one bottle meant at least tens of thousands of yuan were gone.

"Pour whatever you want; I'll order more when you finish," Xu Zimo said casually.

"Thank you, Brother!"

They beamed with joy. After Xu Zimo poured himself a glass of Armand de Brignac, they also began pouring their own drinks.

Xu Zimo took a whiff.

He had to admit, the aroma of Armand de Brignac was quite pleasant.

So, he took a small sip.

Tsk!

How to describe this taste?

The acidity, when drunk, was no different from a few hundred-yuan champagne; it was very prominent, not very balanced. Aside from the mineral-flavored aftertaste and a hint of fruitiness, there was a slightly bitter and astringent sensation on the back of the tongue, and the aftertaste in the mouth was that of a rather rough yeast.

Overall, the aromatic advantage of Armand de Brignac outweighed its taste.

Xu Zimo now understood why there were always rumors online of people washing their hands or hair with Armand de Brignac.

Because it really wasn't that good to drink.

So much so that regulars at the bar who ordered Armand de Brignac wouldn't open it even if the paint on the bottle had chipped off.

Xu Zimo didn't pour it away, but he did pour himself a glass of Belle-Epoque in another cup.

He tried it.

He had to admit, this taste was really good. Perhaps it was because he had just tasted a sip of Armand de Brignac, but he was actually a little surprised.

No wonder it was called "cup never stop."

However, this wine was not cheap in the bar; the à la carte price was 24,999.

martell cordon bleu and Louis XIII were even more expensive.

The taste, well, it was quite good, after all, the price was there.

In comparison, Armand de Brignac was completely driven by marketing; it felt like it was at least dozens of times overpriced.

It wasn't very interesting.

When he continued ordering drinks later, Xu Zimo thought a few more sets of Dasan Yuan would be fine, but the Da Shen Long could be skipped.

As for the money... that wasn't an issue at all. It was Huang Yuqing's birthday, so he could certainly use her settlement funds.

"Come on, come on, roll the dice, whoever gets the highest number draws a card."

Huang Yuqing began to invite everyone to play a game.

After all, with the drinks opened, everyone's enthusiasm was quite high.

In the first round, Yang Ru rolled the highest number and drew a card named 'Flirty.'

Everyone took out their phones, opened their usual video app, and scrolled through ten videos. For every flirty video they encountered, they had to drink a glass of wine.

That was a bit harsh.

From left to right, surprisingly, their phones really didn't show many flirty videos.

Most were about fashion, luxury goods, makeup, travel... and so on.

After six people from the left, only one person had taken a sip.

It was clear that the Socialite group really had no interest in flirty content.

Because Guan Yanchu was right next to Xu Zimo, as she scrolled through ten videos—fashion, luxury homes, cars... Xu Zimo roughly understood her interests.

What she yearned for, Xu Zimo wasn't surprised by it either.

Who wouldn't yearn for such a life?

Then it was Xu Zimo's turn.

He knew his own situation well.

He used to frequently scroll through international affairs, Fox, Prism, Mochi, and alsoAo Debiao, donkey hoof trimming, carpet washing, but now, because he had spent hundreds of thousands, the algorithm mostly pushed him various beautiful women.

There was nothing to hide anyway.

"My alcohol tolerance is average; can I just take a small sip? Of course, I'll compensate you in other ways... I'll send you a small red packet."

Xu Zimo spoke truthfully.

Playing was one thing, but he didn't want to get drunk; there was no need for that.

Everyone agreed.

After all, it was fine if they got drunk, but getting Xu Zimo drunk was not their goal.

So, they asked Huang Yuqing to create a group chat.

He opened Mouyin.

Oh, wow, the very first one was flirty.

If it were their simps, it might be considered a turn-off, but at this moment, their eyes were all sparkling.

What they feared most was that Xu Zimo wasn't interested in lust.

Xu Zimo took a small sip, then opened the group chat.

There were ten people, and the maximum amount for each person was two hundred, so he sent a 2,000 yuan lucky red packet.

"Wow, a big red packet!"

"Thank you for the red packet, Brother."

Yi Yi clicked on it and actually snatched 345 yuan.

She hit the jackpot!

She was so happy she didn't know what to do with herself.

Next, Xu Zimo scrolled through nine videos, seven of which were flirty, causing an immediate uproar in the booth, filled with the girls' laughter.

This also meant that in this round of activity, Xu Zimo had given out 16,000 yuan just in red packets.

How rich and powerful!

Guan Yanchu observed the gazes of these so-called 'sisters,' and they all seemed to want to devour Xu Zimo alive.

Moreover, compared to her cool and reserved demeanor, the 'sisters' were much more proactive and enthusiastic.

This created a sense of urgency in Guan Yanchu's heart.

Fortunately, she had a positional advantage; her legs, intentionally or unintentionally, began to move closer to Xu Zimo, occasionally touching and rubbing against him.

Xu Zimo pretended not to notice, and after taking a final small sip, his hand landed on Guan Yanchu's leg as he put it down.

She had a figure rated at 92 points; the flesh on her shapely legs was very substantial and firm.

This made Xu Zimo unable to resist gently squeezing his palm to feel it.

Guan Yanchu's leg muscles tensed up at that moment, then relaxed again.

She didn't make a sound, nor did she move her leg away, as if nothing had happened.

After the previous incident, she no longer dared to hold back; if she dodged again, she might lose the opportunity entirely.

Xu Zimo's lips curved slightly, and he didn't hold back. He didn't move his hand away; instead, he gently stroked back and forth, savoring the sensation.

Guan Yanchu's usually cool face flushed slightly, perhaps from the alcohol. She gently bit her lip, and her sharp gaze softened into a shimmering, rippling autumn water.

Next, it was naturally Yi Yi's turn, who was to Xu Zimo's right.

She opened another video app and was about to continue scrolling when Huang Yuqing said, "Yi Yi, everyone else is on Mouyin; you should be too."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Yi Yi's expression clearly changed a bit, becoming somewhat unnatural.

"Oh, could it be that there's something you don't want people to see...?"

As everyone started to egg her on, and given that Xu Zimo had openly scrolled through seven flirty videos, she gritted her teeth and opened Mouyin.
