Zhang Man, drunk and frowning, kept tugging forcefully at the zipper of her dress. But no matter how hard she pulled, the zipper seemed to be welded shut and wouldn't budge an inch. The frustration almost brought her to tears.

Finally, she gave up the struggle.

"Er Gou, come help me take off my dress!" she yelled at Liu Ergou. "Something's wrong with it, I can't get it off! Did you hear me?"

Liu Ergou, who had his back to her, spun around at her shout. He saw Zhang Man slumped on the toilet, one hand yanking at her dress while the other flailed aimlessly.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou sighed.

This is tricky.

He stepped forward, crouched down, and examined the zipper. A piece of fabric was caught in the teeth, which was why it was stuck. He carefully worked it free, unzipped the dress, and helped her pull it off. After a moment's thought, feeling he should see the job through, Liu Ergou helped her out of the rest of her clothes.

As soon as he was done, Zhang Man eagerly sat down and relieved herself, the sound of running water continuing for several long minutes.

Once the sound stopped, Zhang Man started giving orders again.

"Er Gou, grab some paper and wipe me, then help me put my pants on!"

After speaking, she plopped back down on the toilet without a care, leaving nothing to the imagination. The sight made Liu Ergou's eyes widen as a flush of heat spread through his body. In the blink of an eye, his face turned red.

Gazing at Zhang Man, he instinctively reached out. But just as his hand was about to touch her, he snapped back to his senses. Looking at his own hand, he couldn't help but shake his head.

What's wrong with me? Why can't I control myself?

He inwardly berated himself, then took a deep breath and carefully pulled off a piece of toilet paper, preparing to help her.

Just as Liu Ergou reached out, Zhang Man suddenly shot up and threw her arms around his, bringing her lips close to his ear and exhaling a hot breath. That single puff of hot air nearly shattered Liu Ergou's composure. Fortunately, his willpower was strong, and he managed to keep himself in check.

It was then that Zhang Man whispered in his ear, "Er Gou~ do you want to... If you want to, you can do it now! I don't mind at all, Er Gou~"

Her voice, like a devil's whisper, echoed in his ears, eroding his will. As he watched the flushed woman before him, Liu Ergou couldn't help but swallow hard. For a moment, he desperately wanted to agree. But a second thought made him realize something was wrong.

It seems Zhang Man is deliberately trying to seduce me. There's no such thing as a free lunch; this temptation must have an ulterior motive. I absolutely cannot fall for it. If I do, I'll be in real trouble! Who knows what other schemes are waiting for me down the line? I can't sacrifice the big picture for a moment of pleasure. Besides, I'm not some guy who lacks self-control!

Thinking this, Liu Ergou took another deep breath. Without a moment's hesitation, he pushed Zhang Man away, retracted his own hand, and slapped the toilet paper into hers.

"You do it yourself!"

With that, Liu Ergou turned his back on her, refusing to look any longer.

When Zhang Man saw him turn away, a flash of annoyance flickered in her drunken, hazy eyes.

Why? After I've gone this far, how could he not take the bait? This is infuriating!

For a moment, she was so angry she felt her lungs would burst.

Staring at his back, a malicious thought crossed her mind: could it be that Liu Ergou is impotent? The moment the idea popped into her head, it seemed entirely possible. After all, plenty of men looked impressive on the outside but were useless in reality!

A smirk curled her lips, but it quickly vanished as she slipped back into her drunken stupor. She put her clothes back on, and with Liu Ergou supporting her, returned to their table.

As soon as she sat down, Ding Zhengyang piped up, "Wow, Er Gou, you were quick in the bathroom!"

Without turning his head, Liu Ergou replied, "It's just a trip to the bathroom. How slow do you expect me to be? I'm not going to spend an hour or two in there."

His words were unapologetically blunt, but Ding Zhengyang didn't get angry. Instead, he nodded in agreement.

"You've got a point, Er Gou!" He then picked up a glass and handed it to Liu Ergou. "Since you're back, let's keep going. Have another!"

With that, Ding Zhengyang downed his own drink in one gulp and looked expectantly at Liu Ergou.

Liu Ergou said nothing, simply taking the glass and copying Ding Zhengyang, downing it in one go.

He sat there for another ten minutes or so before Zhang Man, who had been lying quietly on the sofa, suddenly started throwing a drunken tantrum.

"AHHH, it's so noisy! So noisy! I want to sleep! Er Gou, take me home, I need to sleep! It's way too loud in here! Ugh, so annoying! Are you going to take me away or not?"

By the end, her tone had become outright coquettish. Liu Ergou initially wanted to ignore her, but her shouts grew louder and louder, until they eventually cut through the bar's music.

Left with no choice, Liu Ergou scooped up Zhang Man and prepared to leave. He couldn't let her disturb everyone else.

Watching Liu Ergou go, Ding Zhengyang and the other two men didn't stop him; they just sat there and watched.

It wasn't until Liu Ergou's figure had vanished that the smile on Ding Zhengyang's face faded, replaced by a dark expression. He stared in the direction Liu Ergou had gone and muttered, "Fuck, don't tell me the drug was fake."

"I put in a triple dose! How come that country bumpkin has no reaction at all? It's like he didn't take anything! I was hoping to use this to make that country bumpkin make a huge fool of himself… but… it was completely useless!"

Saying this, Ding Zhengyang slammed his fist on the table.
