After speaking, Ding Zhengyang didn't give Liu Ergou a chance to respond and downed the liquor in his glass in one gulp.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou felt he couldn't object any further. After all, you don't hit a smiling face.

So, Liu Ergou picked up his glass again and finished it off just the same.

After this drink went down, for some reason, Liu Ergou started to feel a bit warm. He didn't pay much mind to it, though.

Just as he saw Ding Zhengyang preparing to offer another toast, Liu Ergou beat him to it and refused outright.

"Enough, enough, I can't drink anymore! I have a limited tolerance. One more drink and I'll puke! I don't want to vomit all over the place!"

With that, Liu Ergou decisively pushed Ding Zhengyang's hand away and plopped down onto the sofa.

To Liu Ergou's surprise, Ding Zhengyang didn't get angry at the rejection. Instead, he smiled, put the glass away, and began urging the others to drink.

Something feels wrong, Liu Ergou thought instinctively. But at the same time, everything seems perfectly normal. I can't put my finger on it.

For the moment, he could only sit on the sofa, staring blankly ahead.

Just then, Zhang Man suddenly reached out and tugged on his arm, snapping him out of his daze.

"What's wrong, Zhang Man?"

With bleary, drunken eyes, Zhang Man slurred, "I… I need to… go to the restroom. Er Gou, help me! Hurry!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Liu Ergou's arm, trying to pull him to his feet.

Liu Ergou looked at her in disbelief.

Take her to the restroom? Are you kidding me? That's the women's room, I can't go in there. How am I supposed to help her? Besides, even if I could get in, it would be completely inappropriate.

Thinking this, Liu Ergou looked around for someone else to help take Zhang Man to the restroom. However, a quick scan revealed the only other girl was already dead drunk, fast asleep on the couch.

Looks like I have no choice but to take her myself.

Still, he didn't want to go. There must still be a way out of this.

With that in mind, he said, "Zhang Man, I'm a guy. It's not right for me to take you to the restroom. Why don't you try going by yourself? If you really can't, I'll follow behind you."

Hearing this, the drunken Zhang Man cocked her head and thought for a moment. Without agreeing or refusing, she simply got up and began staggering toward the restroom.

Liu Ergou was about to breathe a sigh of relief when, before she had taken even three steps, Zhang Man suddenly lurched forward, falling directly toward a glass table. Her head was plummeting straight for a sharp corner.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Liu Ergou lunged forward and caught her. If he hadn't, she likely would have been killed.

Looking at Zhang Man in his arms, Liu Ergou let out a long sigh of relief, which was quickly followed by another long sigh of resignation.

Now I really have no choice.

With that thought, he reluctantly helped Zhang Man up and began inching his way toward the restroom.

The restroom wasn't far, only a few dozen meters away. Yet, that short walk proved incredibly difficult as he supported Zhang Man. This was because she was being incredibly restless.

On the way, one moment she was reaching out to touch his abs, and the next, she was on her tiptoes trying to kiss him. At her most outrageous, she even tried to poke the pressure point on his philtrum. If Liu Ergou hadn't been so quick, she might have succeeded.

After a Herculean effort, they finally arrived at the restroom entrance.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Liu Ergou opened the door for her.

"Alright, we're here. Hurry up and go." As he spoke, he gently nudged Zhang Man, signaling her to go in.

However, she had no reaction, continuing to slump in his arms.

Only after Liu Ergou reminded her several times did Zhang Man finally open her eyes, her bleary gaze falling on the restroom.

"Oh… we're here…" she said. "In that case… Er Gou, let's go together! I can't walk on my own!"

After saying that, she flashed a goofy smile at him.

Looking at the woman in his arms, Liu Ergou felt a headache coming on.

Drunk women really are the most troublesome. Now she wants me to go into the restroom with her? This is just asking for trouble! If anyone saw us, my reputation would be ruined.

Just as Liu Ergou was about to refuse, he heard voices from behind and instinctively turned around. A staggering couple, clinging tightly to each other, walked past without giving him a second glance and went straight into the restroom.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Well… what can I even say to that?

For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

Just then, Zhang Man spoke up. "Er Gou… don't forget, this is a bar. There aren't so many rules in a place like this! You get what I mean, right?"

At her reminder, Liu Ergou finally understood.

Even though I've never been to a bar, I've heard stories and have a general idea of what goes on. Putting what she said together with that… He instantly got the picture.

Without further hesitation, Liu Ergou carefully helped Zhang Man into the restroom. Finding an unoccupied stall, they went inside.

The moment she saw the toilet, Zhang Man eagerly plopped down on it, looking ready to go.

Watching her, Liu Ergou's face couldn't help but twitch.

She's going to use the toilet without taking her skirt off? What the hell is that about? I've never seen anything like it in my life.

After a moment's thought, he whispered a gentle reminder. "Zhang Man, I think you forgot to take off your skirt. You're not actually planning to go like that, are you?"

At his reminder, the drunken Zhang Man finally seemed to realize. She giggled sheepishly.

"Hehehe, ah… I almost forgot!"

With that, Zhang Man actually stood up and, right in front of him, began to take off her skirt.

This made Liu Ergou's face twitch again.

Just how much did she drink? Doesn't she have any sense of modesty?

Grumbling internally, Liu Ergou obediently turned around so he wouldn't see anything.

However, for some reason, Zhang Man chose that exact moment to fumble.
