Lin Jin was feeling sleepy.
Although he went to bed early last night, he was woken up early in the morning and put through a series of activities and scares by Teacher Lin. After that, he spent over forty minutes on the dance machine, and now he was so tired that he could barely keep his eyes open.
He had his legs draped over Lin Chen's thighs, and now only a small part of his butt could touch the sofa. However, he didn't mind. He was already beginning to doze off and lacked the energy to care about anything else.
Wen Xuan stood up and walked over to the tablet-like device for song selection. "Wu Min, what do you want to sing?"
"You go first."
As Wen Xuan walked away, Lin Jin had more space and shifted to a more comfortable position, resting his head on Lin Chen's shoulder, his eyes half-closed as he watched Wen Xuan.
Suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open. A waiter, pushing a small dining cart, came in. He arranged snacks on the coffee table and then took out about a dozen beer bottles from under the cart. The already small coffee table was now completely filled with snacks and beer.
"Open one for me" Lin Jin, who had been falling asleep, suddenly widened his eyes, looking excitedly at the beer.
These past few days, Lin Jin had been feeling frustrated due to the tasks assigned by the Black Cat. Particularly, the punishment for today's task was so disgusting that it significantly increased his stress. As a result, he desperately needed to drink some alcohol to alleviate the pressure.
Lin Chen, very obediently, nodded and used a bottle opener to open a beer for Lin Jin, placing it in front of him. He whispered, "Drink less."
"It's fine, I can't hold my liquor." Lin Jin, always aware of his limits, took the opened beer and gulped down two mouthfuls before speaking in a slurred voice, "I usually start feeling it after three or four bottles. I can't drink much."
"Then you can only drink up to three bottles today" Lin Chen said helplessly, shaking his head as he watched Lin Jin quickly down half a bottle.
"You can't learn bad habits from me and start drinking" Lin Jin warned after finishing half a bottle, remembering Lin Chen. He advised with concern and then threatened, "Otherwise, I'll tell Mom you've started to pick up bad habits outside, drinking, gambling, and so on and so on."
Since when did he become learn to drink and gamble?
Lin Chen thought his brother might already be drunk.
Wu Min watched the brothers' interaction with a smile, shaking his head. He casually bit open a bottle his teeth and took a sip of beer before setting it aside. Although he could handle his liquor well, he didn't want to get tipsy during the day and embarrass himself on the streets, so he planned to drink just a little.
Wen Xuan finally picked a song. He grabbed the microphone from the table, stood up, and began to sway his body in the manner of a rock musician as the music started.
"Bro you've lost weight, you look tired!"*
Wen Xuan seemed very excited, his loud voice causing a ringing in Lin Jin's ears. However, his voice was completely unsuited for the somewhat courage song he chose. Even with the original track playing, it sounded like a ghost crying.
"Little bro, in the future, when you go to KTV, don't hang out with these kinds of microphone hogs. It's ear rape" Lin Jin complained, covering his ears and frowning. He felt like his ears were about to go deaf from Wen Xuan's relentless assault.
Lin Chen was also not comfortable in this noisy environment. Frowning slightly, he leaned over the coffee table, picked up a few strands of dried squid and started eating them.
"Wen Xuan, pick 'Blue and White Porcelain' for me" Wu Min suddenly shouted, standing up from the sofa and sitting down on a high stool in the corner, also grabbing a microphone. He joined Wen Xuan in on the ghost cries.
However, truth be told, Wu Min's voice was much more pleasant than Wen Xuan's.
Lin Jin quickly finished one bottle of beer. After just one bottle, he felt his head getting heavy. Already a bit sleepy, he became even more drowsy and a bit disoriented.
However, he didn't show it outwardly, only a slight flush appeared on his face. In the dim lighting of the KTV, it was hard for others to notice. He grabbed another bottle, opened it himself, and gulped it down in a few swigs, feeling even more lightheaded.
"Brother, maybe you should stop drinking?" Lin Chen, who had stuffed his mouth with squid strips, looked worriedly at Lin Jin's listless appearance.
"It's okay, I can still drink seven or eight more bottles" Lin Jin laughed, quickly finishing his second bottle.
Then he felt a painful bloating in his stomach, which made him slow down a bit. Lin Jin started alternating between sips of beer and snacks, taking it a bit easier.
Wu Min and Wen Xuan finished their first song, and without much delay, the intro of "Blue and White Porcelain" requested by Wu Min, began to play.
Lin Jin, watching Wen Xuan sit next to him eat snacks, glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said unhappily, “Your singing is an insult to KTV.”
“What?”
“I said you sing terribly and too loudly, like you’re yelling" Lin Jin retorted, sticking his pinky in his ear and twisting it a couple of times to alleviate the ringing caused by Wen Xuan’s loud singing.
“Isn’t singing in KTV all about yelling?” Wen Xuan, looking up at Wu Min singing "Blue and White Porcelain" in a soft voice, shrugged his shoulders. “Anyway, it seems like I’m the worst singer in our dorm now. But it's just for fun, right? Why does it have to sound good?”
Lin Jin used to be the worst singer in the dorm, but with the Black Cat’s help, he had at least reached the level of a KTV enthusiast. Now, Wen Xuan had taken the spot as the worst singer.
“Lin Jin, how about you sing one?” Wu Min finished his song, stood up, took a few sips of beer to moisten his throat, and smiled at Lin Jin, “Want me to pick a song for you?”
"Let's go with Little Sloppy then?" Lin Jin said, proud of his performance of this song. His loli voice, combined with Little Sloppy, was a perfect match.
"Sure."
After the song was selected, Lin Jin unhesitatingly took the microphone from Wen Xuan. He didn't stand up but just cleared his throat slightly, switching from his current mature voice to a almost cloyingly sweet loli voice.
"Little Sloppy, really really sloppy~"
Honestly, Lin Jin's loli voice was so overly sweet it could almost make himself nauseous. However, back in his first year of high school, he liked to use this voice online to trick men, pretending to be an underage girl. This guise allowed him to make excuses for his gaming mishaps.
But Lin Jin's favorite voice to use was his youthful, energetic girl voice. If it wasn't for his current mature appearance when dressed as a woman, he wouldn't have resorted to using a mature woman's voice when talking.
After finishing his song, Lin Jin, feeling tired, drank a few more sips of beer and then lost interest in doing anything else. He just sat there, foolishly holding the bottle and drinking it sip by sip.
He felt dizzy... but it was a comfortable sensation.
His mind gradually emptied, and he only thought about drinking more to reach a state where he wouldn't think about anything. That way, he could temporarily forget all the unpleasant things.
Lin Chen kept urging Lin Jin to drink less, but to Lin Jin, Lin Chen was just a younger brother of lower status, so his advice was ineffective.
Wen Xuan, on the other hand, enjoyed the spectacle without concern for the consequences. Wu Min did advise restraint, but he thought that the worst outcome of Lin Jin's drunkenness would be falling asleep on the spot, so he didn't intervene much.
Thus, in just two hours, Lin Jin had consumed nearly half a box of beer.
