The four of them played Go Fish.

Qi Heng lost the first round.

He poured himself a cup of wine and drank without a word.

“You should all learn from me. Losers should know what to do and not be reminded by others.”

He’an lost the second round.

He immediately poured himself a cup. He had not drunk before and his parents were very strict with him at home, and did not allow him to drink a drop.

Now he finally had the opportunity to have a taste.

He picked up his cup and was about to gulp his drink when Hexin took it from him.

“My wine…”

Hexin darted him a look and finished it with one gulp.

Qi Heng clapped and praised, “You can really hold your liquor well, Lady

Hexin!”

When Hexin put down the cup, she quietly frowned.

She realized that this wine was quite strong, unlike the usual ones she had.

It took only a cup for her to feel her tummy burning uncomfortably, but she did not show it.

Long Yin’s gaze fell on her face and when he saw her looking a little uncomfortable, he frowned and gave a glance at Qi Heng.

Qi Heng pretended not to notice the warning look in the Crown Prince’s eyes. He thought, “I’ve taken so much effort for whose sake? Please don’t punish me for my well-meaning efforts, Crown Prince.”

The next to lose was Qi Heng and he downed another cup without a word.

When he put down the empty cup, he said with a slight bitterness, “Your Highness and Lady Hexin are playing really well. Both of you have been playing steadily and haven’t lost a game yet.”

“We won’t say anything against you if you choose to back out now, ” Long Yin said nonchalantly.

“Are you kidding? How can I leave after only losing two rounds? The next person to lose might be you,” Qi Heng said with a huff.

Hexin glanced at Long Yin and when she saw him holding his cards steadily with no sign of being flustered, she could not help contemplating the situation.

She had almost won the last few rounds, but Long Yin was different. He was always the first to finish his cards.

What Hexin did not expect, was that she ended up losing the next round.

When He’an saw that she lost, he could not stop smiling. “You’ve finally lost, Big Sis. Let me pour you the wine.” With that, he poured her a full cup mischievously.

Hexin looked at the almost overflowing cup and glanced at him.

Was this really her younger brother? How dare he do that to her.

There was nothing Hexin could do as she watched the full cup of wine. Losers needed to accept defeat and she had to finish the wine.

However, she had just reached out for the cup when another hand took it away from her.

She looked over in surprise and met Long Yin’s smiling, dark eyes. “You just had a cup before. You should slow down. I’ll help you with this cup.”

With that, he finished the wine before Hexin could stop him.

Hexin bit her lip. She had drunk from the cup previously.

However, she had no idea that she would lose the next round as well.

This time, she quickly picked up the cup and finished the wine before Long Yin could make a move.

Long Yin laughed softly when he saw the girl’s cheek turn red from the alcohol. “I wanted to drink on your behalf, but this wine is pretty strong and I need to slow down as well.”

Hexin felt even worse with another cup of wine down her throat. When she heard his words, she frowned gently. “I didn’t ask you to help me with the wine. I can drink it on my own.”

“Oh, I guess I must have been too much of a busybody if you can drink it on your own.” Long Yin smiled.

Hexin massaged between her eyes as she felt a slight headache.

What was unexpected was that Long Yin, who had been playing a steady hand, actually lost the next round.

Qi Heng poured him a cup of wine immediately. “Please have your drink, Your Majesty.”

Long Yin leaned back in this chair and glanced at Hexin. He pushed the wine toward her. “Since you can hold your liquor well, may I ask you to help me with this cup?”

Hexin frowned. She was about to reject him when he said gently, “I did help you with a cup just now.”

She had no choice but to pick up the cup and finish the wine. The twinkle in Long Yin’s eyes grew brighter when he saw this..
