“Yeah, Mr. Bloomer, I made a bet with him, and I don’t want to be a coward.” Rosemary tried to push Leo’s hand away again, but her strength was much weaker, and she felt a mix of emotions.
“I’ll drink for you,” Leo said decisively.
“Can you handle alcohol? You didn’t drink much during dinner.” Rosemary felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing his words.
It seemed that Leo still cared about her, or at least he was willing to stand up for her.
In truth, her self-destructive drinking bet with the self-obsessed man was also to attract Leo’s attention.
“I can’t drink, but I can drink for you.” Leo blinked his eyes playfully, jokingly saying.
Then he gently slipped his hand into her soft palm and took the glass from her hand.
Rosemary didn’t resist at all. She stared at Leo blankly, her eyes slightly reddened, filled with tenderness.
Perhaps any woman would be moved by hearing those words.
Although she didn’t know if Leo’s words came from the heart, even if he was just fooling her, she would be content.
“I’ll drink for her instead of you. It’ll be a one-on-one between us,” Leo said to the self-obsessed man.
“That won’t do. We made a bet,” the self-obsessed man wasn’t afraid of drinking with Leo, but he was afraid that Rosemary wouldn’t abide by the bet.
“Don’t worry, our bet still stands. If you manage to make him pass out, I’ll go with you.”
After saying that, Rosemary directly tossed her bag containing her ID and car keys into the self-obsessed man’s arms.
Then she turned and leaned against Leo’s side, lightly tracing her slender fingers on his arm, half-jokingly and half-seriously saying, “Mr. Bloomer, I’m giving myself completely to you now…”
Leo turned his head and smiled gently at her, jokingly saying, “Don’t worry, even if I have to risk my life, I won’t let you go with him.”
Rosemary’s hazy gaze suddenly became bright, a thin mist forming in her eyes, unable to distinguish whether Leo’s words were true or false.
“Fine, since the beauty has said so, let’s make it a deal!” The self-obsessed man put the bag aside and gestured to Leo, “Let’s begin!”
Leo didn’t rush to drink and asked him, “How’s your alcohol tolerance?”
“It’s great!” The self-obsessed man said arrogantly, planning to intimidate Leo with his confidence.
Leo continued, “Since you have such a high alcohol tolerance, let’s drink glass by glass. When will it end? Or should we switch to bigger glasses?”
“Whatever!” The self-obsessed man agreed with great confidence, thinking, You think I can’t handle it? Just wait and see.
“Waiter, bring bigger glasses!” The self-obsessed man quickly called the waiter.
The waiter immediately brought several tall glasses that could hold six ounces.
“The glasses are still too small.” Leo picked up one and looked at it, then said to the self-obsessed man, “With these glasses, how many can you handle?”
“At least eight or nine glasses!” The self-obsessed man boasted.
In his opinion, Leo wouldn’t last beyond three glasses with these glasses.
“Let’s get even bigger ones then.” Leo put the glasses back.
“Alright, as you wish!” The self-obsessed man remained unfazed and called out to the waiter again.
The waiter promptly brought four beer mugs that were about 20 centimeters tall.
“Dude, this should be enough, right?” The self-obsessed man was quite excited.
Each of these beer mugs could hold at least 1, 000 milliliters of liquid, equivalent to two pounds of alcohol. He estimated that Leo would pass out after one mug, and then he could take Rosemary home.
“It’s still too small.” What surprised the self-obsessed man was that Leo once again found the glasses too small.
He glanced at Leo, puzzled, thinking, Is this guy crazy?
Even with these large glasses, he still finds them small?
Even if he’s boasting, there should be some limit, right?
This is just shameless!
“Sir, this is the largest glass we have.” The waiter said helplessly.
Leo pondered for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and asked the waiter, “Well, do you have basins? Find two basins for us.”
“Basins?!” The waiter was taken aback, then nodded with a wry smile, “We do have basins in the kitchen, but they are too big…”
“It’s okay, just bring them. Hurry!” Leo quickly waved at him, signaling him to bring the basins.
“Dude, are you crazy?!” The self-obsessed man looked at Leo with shock, as if he were observing a lunatic.
A basin of alcohol would weigh at least 5 kilograms!
“What, are you scared now?” Leo raised an eyebrow at him.
“Scared? How could I be scared? I’m afraid you’ll end up in a bad state!” The self-obsessed man snorted.
He thought he had figured out Leo’s intention and believed that Leo was deliberately trying to intimidate him.
“Not scared? Then let’s do it.” Leo smiled mischievously.
“Leo, what are you doing?!” Rosemary suddenly became anxious and pulled Leo’s arm.
Leo patted her hand and smiled, reassuring her not to worry.
Soon, the waiter brought two shiny stainless steel basins, placing them on the table with a clatter. He said to Leo, “Sir, these are the basins we use to wash vegetables in the kitchen. I’ve cleaned them for you.”
“But let me tell you in advance, if anything goes wrong after you drink, our bar is not responsible.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t hold you responsible. Right, handsome?” Leo gave a signal to the self-obsessed man.
“That’s right, all you need to do is remember to call an ambulance for this guy when the time comes.” The self-obsessed man smirked and nodded.
Then Leo poured five bottles of beer and four bottles of vodka into the basin, almost filling it up. The strong smell of alcohol filled the air.
People around them saw this scene and curiously gathered around, expressing their amazement.
“Wow, I’ve never seen anyone drink from a basin before. What a hero!”
“Damn, this basin must weigh more than 5 kilograms. Drinking it all would surely be fatal, it’s a matter of life and death!”
“This guy is impressive. He’s willing to risk his life just to impress a girl!”
The self-obsessed man looked at the full basin of alcohol, his face turned pale.
Glancing at Leo, who remained calm, he inexplicably felt a sense of anxiety. This guy was really serious.
“Handsome, why are you still standing there? Pour yourself some alcohol into your own basin.” Leo smiled at the self-obsessed man.
Gritting his teeth, the self-obsessed man grabbed the bottles on the table and poured them into his own basin.
He thought Leo was just trying to scare him, thinking that Leo would collapse after a few sips. Anyway, he had a high alcohol tolerance, so there was nothing to fear.
After the basin in front of the self-obsessed man was filled, almost all the bottles on the table were emptied.
“The one who suggested it goes first!” The self-obsessed man gestured for Leo to drink first.
“No, let’s drink together. Whoever can’t finish it, loses. How about that?” Leo said with a smile.
“Fine!” The self-obsessed man reluctantly nodded, throwing caution to the wind.
