Chapter 59: The Gambling Contract
After finishing his work, Colin actually took his colleagues to Lucy's restaurant.
"When did you start making supper?" Colin smiled and asked, "I remember someone didn't say that staying up late hurts a woman's skin the most." ”
"Restaurants are still the old rule, don't do late-night snack business." Lucy smiled and said, "Tonight is all about your face, so it will be a special exception." ”
"Why didn't you want to give me face before?" Colin pondered, "You're here for the human being today?" ”
"Let's all be considerate of each other." Lucy smiled flatteringly and filled the glass for him.
"That kid has a lot of temper today, and he didn't have any cowardice at all when he saw us." Colin picked up his glass and drank it down.
As the saying goes, he who does not know is not guilty. Don't mess with human kids. Lucy hurriedly explained.
Lucy saw Hu Xin walking out of the kitchen with a kebab, and hurriedly shouted: "Hu Xin, hurry up and make amends." ”
Hu Xin put the meat skewers on the table, and said with a calm and calm expression: "Why should I apologize?" They are the ones who should apologize, right? Trespassing on my house, vandalizing my room, breaking my belongings. I haven't settled accounts with them yet. ”
Lucy felt that she had really made a mistake, and that she shouldn't have let this kid help, and she felt that she was getting more and more helped. The fire she had just extinguished, now it was good, and the flames were rising again.
Colin put down his glass and looked at Hu Xin. "You kid really don't know about the Anti-HFA International League?" Cole asked.
"I don't know." Hu Xin said indifferently. Actually, he had no interest in that organization at all, all he wanted to know was news about his great-grandfather.
"I quite appreciate your arrogance." Colin burst out laughing and said, "Come, have two drinks with me." ”
Lucy hurriedly poured Hu Xin a full glass of wine, and Hu Xin took the glass and sat next to Colin.
"Hu Xin, do you have a bar?" Lucy was a little worried about how much he was drinking.
"Will drink a little." Hu Xin replied.
"If you can drink us, if you can drink us, today's incident will not happen at all."
"Really?" Lucy was pleasantly surprised. Although Colin said that the matter is over, they will file the incident on the record, and if there is any trouble in the future, the old case may be reopened.
"Lucy, what are you doing?" Colin laughed, "It's cheating to find someone to replace you." ”
"Drinking with you? Are you really mentally retarded? The people on the side also followed suit.
Lucy looked at Hu Xin with a helpless expression. "Come on!"
"Am I alone, do I drink down your table?" Hu Xin's expression seemed to be a little annoyed, "This seems to be a little unfair." ”
"Boy, if you can't do that, I'll have to do business. Today at school is also to give Lucy face, and I didn't take you away for interrogation. Colin said.
"Can I make a request about this gamble?" Hu Xin asked.
"You say."
"Wine, it's up to me to choose." Hu Xin said with a smile.
"Yes, you can pick the wine." Cole agreed.
"What wine do you want?" Lucy asked.
"Home-brewed rice wine." Hu Xin said, "There are a lot of Grandpa Mu's rooms, please ask Sister Lucy to ask for a few altars." ”
"Rice wine?" Cole was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
"The degree is so low, are you kid trying to cheat?" The strong man on the side got angry, "How can you be happy without drinking strong wine?" ”
"Our bet is on whether or not we can get you down. Why, is it possible that you are afraid of low-alcohol alcohol? Hu Xin asked with a smile.
Colin looked at Hu Xin silently, this kid didn't mean to admit defeat at all. It seems that the key to victory or defeat lies in this wine.
"Okay, just serve rice wine." Colin said, "If you fall first, I'll have to take you with me." ”
As soon as Lucy heard this, she immediately became anxious. "Colin, this kid's identity is absolutely fine, it has nothing to do with that organization."
"Lucy, this is a bet between our men, so don't interfere anymore." Colin interrupted Lucy.
Lucy glanced at Hu Xin worriedly, she was afraid that Hu Xin would really be taken away by them. Obviously, there are still a few days left, and he can go to the martial area. If something really happened at this time, Xian Xian should also have a lot of headaches.
"Sister Lucy, you go get the bar." Hu Xin said calmly.
"Are you really sure?" Lucy had never seen Hu Xin drink alcohol, and thought he didn't drink a drop of alcohol.
Hu Xin smiled confidently, he didn't dare to guarantee other wine, but rice wine was not less drunk on the days when they fled.
Lucy came to Grandpa Mu's room and had someone carry a few jars of rice wine to the restaurant.
"What's going on?" Grandpa Mu looked at Lucy with a confused expression.
"Hu Xin is fighting with people for the amount of alcohol." Lucy sighed, she felt that she could still have half the winning rate when she played, but Hu Xin was a hairy child in his twenties, how could he drink more than those old drunkards.
"Who is the other party?" Grandpa Mu continued to ask.
He knew that Hu Xin, the child, had quit drinking since he came to W City and was focused on studying. He really couldn't figure out why Hu Xin was drinking again.
"Member of the International Coalition Against HFA." Lucy had no intention of hiding Mu Ye, because if the situation was serious, Hu Xin might be taken away at any time.
As soon as he heard the name of this organization, Grandpa Mu's expression became extremely solemn. As the representative of the Human Army in the HFA organization, he was all too familiar with this organization.
"Why did Xiao Xin meet them?" Grandpa Mu's heart was full of questions. He should have hidden his identity well, why would those organizations still find Xiao Xin?
"It is said that someone reported that Hu Xin had close ties with the HFA organization." Lucy explained, "Mu Ye, you seem to know that organization very well. ”
Lucy found that Mu Ye's expression was a little abnormal, as if he was on guard as soon as he heard about the anti-HFA organization, and this kind of conditioned reflex was not formed overnight.
Lucy felt that Mu Ye must know something, and she could conclude that Mu Ye must have something important to hide from Hu Xin.
Several jars of wine were brought to the table, and Hu Xin opened the lid of the wine and directly filled the row of bowls on the table with wine.
Everyone picked up their bowls and drank the wine.
Hu Xin hadn't touched wine for a few days, and he felt that when the wine went down, his stomach was irritated, and even his throat became hot.
This feeling of pleasure fascinated him very much, and at that time he relied on alcohol to numb himself, and only when he was drunk could he not think too much about things, so that he could sleep peacefully.
But when he sobers up, he feels an inexplicable sense of emptiness and guilt. He especially hated this emotion, which made him feel very powerless to make any change in the world, powerless to change the miserable condition of humanity.
When he arrives in W City and has a group of trusted friends around him, his ideas seem to be less paranoid than before.
He wants to find an opportunity for humans and canines to coexist peacefully with him.
Bowl after bowl of rice wine, half of the people at the table had already fallen.
