Have you heard of the blue whale?

Immediately following, a pleasant, mature female voice came through: “Hello, handsome. I’m from Qinghe Winery. I saw you tasting our red wine just now.”

“Just from your movements and expressions, I can tell you’re an experienced red wine connoisseur. I wonder if I might have the honor of inviting you to taste a few of our red wines.”

At this, the Photographer looked at the beautiful Girl and froze.

“Holy crap?!”

“He can tell I’m a master just from my expression?”

“Damn, is that how everyone looks when they drink red wine—like a dead person?”

“So Lin Yuan wasn’t messing around; he was really teaching him!”

The netizens in the live stream, seeing the stunning Girl before them, all started drooling.

“Qing He?”

Lin Yuan was startled for a moment. This name felt a bit familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he’d heard it.

After two seconds ofstunned, he shook off his thoughts and smiled at the Girl: “Sure, as an exchange, shouldn’t you report your measurements… ah, no, your name!”

The Girl’s expression stiffened for a moment, then she covered her mouth and chuckled: “My apologies, I was presumptuous. My surname is Liang, and Qing He is my given name.”

“Lin Yuan! A pleasure to meet you!” The two smiled and shook hands, while the Photographer was completely ignored.

Lin Yuan then found a seat and snapped his fingers at a nearby waiter.

“Snap~~”

“Handsome, please get me some food, the more the better.”

Qing He looked at Lin Yuan, dressed in his sportswear, and his unconventional actions, a mixture of surprise and amusement on her face.

The nearby waiter, without a word, brought a large plate of snacks and placed them in front of him, making a gesture of invitation: “Sir, your dessert.”

“Thanks!” Lin Yuan picked up a piece and popped it into his mouth, then raised an eyebrow at Qing He: “Aren’t you afraid that if I eat dessert, I won’t be able to taste the wine?”

Qing He smiled and shook her head: “It’s fine.”

Lin Yuan smiled faintly, picked up a stemmed glass, and placed it on the table: “Pour the wine!”

As a pleasant gurgling sound began, a layer of foam floated on the red wine in the glass.

Seeing that it was about to reach one-third full, Qing He withdrew the bottle and made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Yuan held the stemmed glass and carefully examined it through the light.

Then he swirled it a few times on the table to allow the red wine to fully oxidize and aerate, saying to himself: “Many people say that when pouring red wine, you must only fill the glass one-third of the way.”

“Why is that?”

“Because filling it to that level allows the red wine to come into contact with air, which can quickly decant it, and you can also swirl it to smell the aroma.”

After speaking, he even picked it up and gently sniffed it.

“Floral, fruity, oak barrel.”

“But I think that’s because their alcohol tolerance isn’t good!”

He then looked at Qing He, made a gesture of invitation, and smiled faintly: “Fill it to the brim!”

Qing He was stunned by Lin Yuan’s actions; it was the first time she had encountered someone who wanted a red wine glass filled to the brim!

If you were to say he was an amateur, judging by his speech and actions, he didn’t seem like a novice.

But if you were to say he was a wine expert, who drinks red wine filled to the brim?

However, since she was the one who invited him, despite her confusion, she still smiled and nodded, pouring the red wine.

The gurgling sound of red wine passing through the bottle’s opening continued.

As the red wine slowly filled the stemmed glass, which was larger than a fist, the Photographer’s eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.

He said with a hint of confusion in his tone: “Bro, didn’t you say that drinking red wine is about showing off with language and actions? I feel like you’re here to drink a beverage.”

Lin Yuan waved his hand and smiled confidently: “You don’t understand this, do you? What I taught you was the first level of showing off, but now I don’t need to show off like that anymore. Have you heard of ‘returning to simplicity’?”

“It’s not me bragging, bro, but with red wine, I can taste a single sip and even tell you the rainfall of that year and the pH value of the soil. Do you know what my nickname is in the wine circle, bro?”

The Photographer shook his head blankly: “What?”

“It’ll scare you, ‘Big Blue Whale’!”

Qing He looked at Lin Yuan, who was confidently bragging, and was also a bit astonished. Could you really taste rainfall when tasting wine? This brag was too exaggerated.

The Photographer was also bluffed by Lin Yuan’s nickname. Connecting it to how just showing off had attracted the beautiful Girl earlier, he secretly decided to pay close attention to the details, so he could learn it and use it to show off later.

Lin Yuan, with a smile, grabbed the glass with one hand, slowly raised his arm, brought it to his mouth, and chugged it down.

“Gulp, gulp~~~”

The red wine in the stemmed glass visibly decreased at a rapid speed, leaving Qing He and the Photographer dumbfounded. Was he really drinking it like a beverage?

As the red wine was about to run out, both of them were filled with shock, unconsciously swallowing their saliva.

However, being cool only lasted for three seconds.

Before they could react.

Suddenly!

“Pffft~~~”

Lin Yuan, as if gravely injured, spat out a large mouthful of red liquid.

The wine liquid drew an elegant arc in the air, like fiery red lava, directly hitting the Photographer, spraying him in the face on the spot.

Feeling the chilling cold on his face, the Photographer wiped his face with his hand, utterly bewildered!

Qing He next to him wasn’t much better; she stood there blankly, mouth agape, her eyes almost popping out.

At this moment, the Photographer felt his worldview collapsing.

Was this really something a person could do?

He even suspected he was dreaming.

Just a second ago, he was thinking of learning it well later so he could use it to show off.

But this is how you show off? By spitting on me?

Lin Yuan looked at the Photographer’s expression of existential doubt, quickly rushed over, and helped him wipe his face with his hand, saying apologetically: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, brother, I really couldn’t hold it in!”

The Photographer’s mouth twitched. Looking at the red wine on him, he was speechless for a moment.

After several seconds of holding it in, he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: “Didn’t you say you could drink a lot? That your alcohol tolerance was as big as a Big Blue Whale?!”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan’s face stiffened, and he showed a shy expression: “Ahem~~ You misunderstood.”

“They meant that when I throw up, I spray as far as a blue whale.”

“Pffft~~”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Qing He, standing nearby, couldn’t help but burst out laughing on the spot.

Realizing hergaffe, she quickly covered her mouth and turned her head away.

After hearing Lin Yuan’s explanation, the Photographer felt like dying.

Now he finally realized that he had been fooled by Lin Yuan from beginning to end.

This guy couldn’t drink red wine at all; spitting wine was more like it!

The netizens in the live stream were all cracking up at this moment.

—【This guy is really a weirdo. Looking at his posture before, I was really bluffed, thinking he understood red wine. But he chugged it in one go! You treat this like beer or a beverage! Can’t stop laughing!】

—【Asking for the Photographer’s psychological shadow area. He must feel like dying. If it were me, I’d definitely fight Lin Yuan on the spot. Big Blue Whale, that nickname really isn’t a joke.】

—【Come on, this isn’t the first time. One has to bow their head when under someone else’s roof. Besides, he didn’t do it on purpose, he just couldn’t help but want to laugh.】

—【We are professionals; generally, we don’t laugh, unless we can’t help it! When I heard that nickname, my first reaction was that he could drink a lot. Who the hell would think it meant he could spray a lot!】

The Photographer looked at the unreliable guy in front of him, opened his mouth, and swallowed his words several times.

In the end, he could only give a helpless bitter smile: “You have to come with me to the restroom to wash up, right?”

Lin Yuan quickly nodded in agreement: “No problem, let’s go now!”

The two took some napkins from Qing He and found a nearby restroom to wash their faces.

Lin Yuan stood by patiently watching.

While waiting, he unintentionally overheard a Girl in a suit in the corner of the wall talking on the phone in a low voice.

Although her voice wasn’t loud, he could generally hear everything clearly.

“Hello! I’m at work. Why are you only calling me back now?”

“I’m telling you, you must not tell anyone, I’m pregnant. The doctor said it’s been 40 days.”

“The baby’s father? It should be the section chief, or maybe the director.”

“Never mind, I’ll just ask each of them for a breakup fee when the time comes!”

Listening to the Girl in the suit’s conversation, Lin Yuan’s eyelids twitched as he looked at himself in the mirror, as if he had heard some incredible gossip.
