Ling Zheng, still gaping at the door, suddenly realized the trick his sister had played on him, momentarily forgetting his concern for the Wu siblings' health. He turned around to look at his smug little sister, cursing both his own gullibility, as well as his sister's deceptiveness. Ling Xiu sauntered into the room, and plopped down an empty couch, between the couches Wu Fan and Wu Lan were occupying. She gestured for Ling Zheng to take the final couch, which was coincidentally the one that offered the narrowest route of escape. Ling Zheng walked over, his reluctance growing more visible with every step. He sat down and crossed his arms, looking like a disgruntled cat, wondering what exactly went on in the minds of those inferior life forms called human beings.

Wu Lan and Wu Fan finally lowered their bottles from their mouths, exhaling deeply, both of their cheeks flushed. "Hahaha Wu Fan you lil' pedo, are you done yet? I can go all night! Whoaaa, Little Xiu, when did you get here, with Ling Zheng too! It's a damn party!" Wu Lan laughed, sounding every bit like a drunk college student.

"Lan, Lan, ignore them, we won't stop tonight until-" Wu Fan let out a belch while he was talking, "one of us passes out!"

"Fan, it'll be you that passes out today, I've been drinking longer than you even knew what alcohol was!'' Wu Lan declared, flashing a disarming grin.

"Okayyy, let's hold stop right here for a moment,'' Ling Xiu said, attempting, and failing, to snatch the bottles away from the drunk siblings, "Sis Lan, if you get any more drunk than this, you'll start fighting everyone, and I don't want to get knocked out again, so I think you should stop here." Ling Xiu tried grabbing Wu Lan and Wu Fan's bottles at lightning speed, but Wu Lan and Wu Fan just danced away, taking another swig.

The siblings grinned at each other, agreeing on a plan with just eye contact. Wu Fan began taunting Ling Xiu, "Lan will be fine, aren't you just afraid that we can drink more than you?"

"Who would want to be able to drink more than you monsters?" Ling Xiu huffed.

Wu Fan, not done yet, suddenly chuckled, "Oh, I see! Lan, Lan, look, she's too afraid that she'll be defeated if she joins us, I can't even believe it. After all, she is just a kid in the end… But what a shame, I had thought that someone you had taught would be able to do better than this," he said, emphasizing the fact that Ling Xiu was Wu Lan's student.

"Ah, I had thought a student of mine would be able to do better as well… I suppose that this is due to my own ineptitude. I'm so sorry, Ling Xiu!" Wu Lan dramatically said, sounding for all the world like she had accidentally switched the sandwich in her child's lunch for a fake plastic sandwich, and had no intention of doing anything about it.

Ling Xiu, easily being fooled by the siblings' taunting, picked up a bottle and roared, "Don't you talk bad about Sis Lan, I can drink as much as I need to!"

Ling Zheng interjected, "Little sister, they're clearly--"

Wu Lan's eyes gleamed, "Ohh, it's Little Xiu's brother! Fan, I see now that it's not my fault that Little Xiu can't drink, it's because her older brother isn't even man enough for a bottle of beer," she said, derision oozing from every word.

Wu Fan snickered, "Lan, you can't expect much out of someone like him, apparently both siblings are too scared to play with us!"

Ling Zheng smiled, a vein popping out on his forehead. He walked over to the small bar in the room and downed a shot of vodka. Looking back at Wu Lan and Wu Fan, he coldly huffed, "Just because I can doesn't mean I will, a shot or two may not be my limit, but it's all I'll do tonight."

Wu Lan, Wu Fan, and Ling Xiu all cheered.
