Chapter 58: First Sight

The sun gradually set, leaving an afterglow. When Ren Yue got home, it was almost seven o'clock in the afternoon. He went to the kitchen to check the chef's progress. He found that the chef had finished the dishes on the menu and was waiting for dinner.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Mr. Bai finally came out of his study.

Ren Yue asked Mr. Bai to sit down and said, "You should be hungry after working all afternoon. Need not be so polite, just dig in."

Mr. Bai said, "Why don't you drink first?"

"Drinking on an empty stomach hurts the body." Ren Yue said simply, "Eat some food to fill your stomach first. You have plenty of opportunities to drink later, so don't rush it for a while."

Although Mr. Bai felt that he was in a hurry, since Ren Yue had said so, he could only give up. So he ate it one by one according to Ren Yue's recommendation. These dishes that were not special to him became extremely delicious with Ren Yue's introduction.

Mr. Bai was very satisfied.

Ren Yue was also very satisfied. The menu he listed was originally in line with his own taste. After all, he didn't know what Mr. Bai liked to eat. He thought that big people like Mr. Bai might rarely eat home-cooked dishes, so he simply arranged it according to his preferences. Although he hadn't seen which dish Mr. Bai liked to eat up to now, he seemed to be enjoying himself quite happily, so that's fine.

After the meal, it was time for the main event of the day.

Ren Yue brought a dozen beers to the table, and then said proudly, "There are so many liquors, drink whatever you want!"

Mr. Bai looked at the golden beer bottle and asked, "Beer?"

"If I invite you to drink, it's natural to drink our traditional beer." Ren Yue didn't mention his shortage of funds at all, but said righteously, "Why? Do you look down on beer and just want to drink century-old red wine? If that's the case..."

Mr. Bai shook his head and said, "It's good to try it once in a while." He really had never drunk beer.

Ren Yue pried off the beer cap with a bottle opener. He opened three bottles in a row. Then he pushed all the beer to Mr. Bai and said with a smile, "I heard that the father must dry three bottles by himself as a mark of respect."

Mr. Bai didn't have any objection. He just took a bottle and took a sip. It was obvious that Mr. Bai was doing such a bold thing, but his actions didn't look rude at all, and he was still as elegant as before. But after he finished drinking, his expression became a little strange.

Ren Yue noticed Mr. Bai's strangeness. He smiled and said, "No way? You fainted with just one bottle like this?"

Although his friends say that beer was the worst liquor and was for people who have no money, but Ren Yue thought that was not the case. He had drunk a lot of liquor. He thought beer was the most intoxicating.

Mr. Bai savored the beer he had just drunk. It tasted a little bitter and a little bit of alcohol. In addition... it just felt like boiled water with a little bitterness.

Mr. Bai looked at Ren Yue's bright eyes, and he suddenly felt that the bitter taste in his mouth had turned into sweet, so he couldn't help saying, "It's very good."

Ren Yue immediately raised his eyebrows happily and said proudly, "Right?"

Mr. Bai also drank the remaining two bottles upside down, but this time he did not drink the whole bottle, but poured it into a wine glass and drank it cup by cup. In the middle, Ren Yue played a little bit of thought and added many extra glasses of beer to Mr. Bai.

Mr. Bai noticed Ren Yue's little actions, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he allowed Ren Yue to sneak on adding beer like a funny child. Then when Ren Yue secretly wanted to drink, he reached out and touched his head and pulled him back gently.

Ren Yue really wanted to take a sip. Originally, he bought so much wine that he must have his own share. It's just that he used to drink when he wanted to drink in other places. Even if his father saw it, he just severely criticized him, and there was no way to stop him from drinking. But when he got to Mr. Bai's place, he had just opened a bottle of beer, and Mr. Bai reached out and took it and drank it. He wanted to taste it secretly, but Mr. Bai handed him a glass of milk.

Ren Yue: "..."

Although his goal tonight was to get Mr. Bai drunk and tell him something, but because he couldn't taste a sip of the beer, now he's itching to swallow a bottle.

Under the confusion of alcohol, Ren Yue forgot his original intention. He evoked a good-looking smile at Mr. Bai and said slowly: "Let's play Truth or Dare, a big adventure game where you can choose truth or various punishments if you choose dare."

Mr. Bai has heard of the game, but he has never played it. However, this does not prevent him from mastering the rules of the game, nor does it prevent him from playing the game. He nodded and said, "Rock-paper-scissor to decide the outcome?"

Ren Yue nodded.

So under Ren Yue's suggestion, the two of them played the game of Truth or Dare over an inexplicable drink. After a round of rock-paper-scissor, Mr. Bai lost, and he chose to tell the truth.

Ren Yue looked at Mr. Bai's reddish cheeks and silently calculated the number of bottles Mr. Bai drank tonight. After much consideration, he asked in high spirits, "When did you first see me?"
