The pair did not eat as much as they drank, and down their drinks with great fervor, they did.

Nan Xing meant to get Tang Jing sloshed because he discovered that there must be more to this woman than meets the eye.

For one, she was way too restrained. From the moment they met until now, there was nothing she presented that made him uncomfortable.

Every detail about her had been impeccable and well-executed. From her dressing to her mannerisms and the way she addressed him, he had found them all appropriate and delightful.

That was precisely what was wrong.

Nan Xing was nobody's fool, for he had been seeing the world since the age of sixteen or seventeen, and thus knew a fair bit about women.

More than anything, he understood everyone had their flaws. If one should ever encounter another without discernible ones, then the latter must be a fraud.

Only those who were intelligent and smart about it would conscientiously try to mask their own weaknesses.

Hence, at times, the absence of a problem was a major problem in itself.

Perfection contravened the laws of nature, for no one could be perfect, thus anyone who appeared to be so must most likely be faking it.

The desire to witness her true self was what prompted Nan Xing to try to get Tang Jing intoxicated.

Coincidentally, Tang Jing was of the same opinion. She was determined to get this playboy before her smashed, so he would not be conscious enough to discern whether she was speaking truthfully.

No one demonstrates less restraint than an agreeable drunkard.

Hence, both of them kept their thoughts to themselves while they sought to douse each other in drink, just to see who might be the first to fall.

The alcohol content of sake ultimately proved too much for Tang Jing, who was the first one to buckle, and at the rate that they were going at it, she feared she might collapse outright and be robbed of the chance to talk.

That was why she elected to throw in the towel first. “We might be going too hard. Shall we ease off a little, Mr. Xing?”
