Chapter 922: Drunk Again
I was on guard and thought that I could stop Ai Mi from secretly drinking wine as long as I prevented her from entering the kitchen, but it turned out to be a diversion. The French chef never promised to give her the red wine, but she saw a half bottle of red wine in the underground laboratory (leftover from my antidote), so she stole it and took it to room 101 while I was guarding the kitchen.
Ai Mi was a smart-ass and thought that the colors of red wine and blueberry juice were very similar, so she emptied several blueberry juice bottles from the refrigerator and poured red wine into them, thinking that she could enjoy it slowly.
The entire scene was witnessed by Xiong YaoYue. She promised me she wouldn’t let Ai Mi drink, but she was afraid that Ai Mi would be angry and didn’t want to expose Ai Mi’s deeds in person, so she told me instead to make me expose her, but said don’t tell Ai Mi that she was the one who told me.
While the class leader was happily cooking in the kitchen and explaining the essentials of cooking to Xiao Qin and Gong CaiCai, I wandered into room 101 and saw Ai Mi sitting on the carpet watching TV and the wine-powered tablet sat unattended on the coffee table.
“Didn’t you say you were going to take some 97 Lafite from the kitchen and start up the tablet to play with it? Why don’t you play it?”
I asked knowingly.
“I’m suddenly not interested anymore, it’s none of your business!”
Ai Mi had a guilty conscience, so when she talked to me, her eyes involuntarily drifted to the refrigerator in the corner of the room.
“Speaking of which, it’s really hot!” I pulled on my collar and fanned myself, “Winter solstice passed a couple days ago, so technically it’s winter right now… but it’s still very hot in the kitchen! It’s so hot, I need a drink!”
I said as I walked towards the refrigerator.
“What are you going to do?!” Ai Mi naturally panicked.
“I’m going to get a drink, what’s the big deal?” I opened the refrigerator and said while looking for the bottle of blueberry juice, “Are you not even willing to give your brother a drink when he’s thirsty? I guess you don’t love me anymore!”
I said Ai Mi’s common phrase back at her and it left her speechless.
I took out two bottles of blueberry juice from among the three bottles that were in the refrigerator without hesitation —— one of them was probably filled with red wine.
Ai Mi frowned angrily when she saw that I had to choose the tampered drinks. She glared at me fiercely as if she wanted to bite me.
“As siblings, we should share the same hardships and blessings, so you have a drink too!” I handed over one of the bottles of blueberry juice. I noticed the cap hasn’t been opened before after I opened it, so it should be real blueberry juice.
I always thought that blueberry juice would be blue, but it was in fact a deep red color similar to red wine. No wonder Ai Mi tried to hide it in these bottles.
I was sitting on the couch while Ai Mi was sitting on the carpet, and the Powerpuff Girls cartoon was playing on the TV.
“Huh? Why does my bottle of blueberry juice smell a little weird?”
I unscrewed the bottle cap and took a whiff. Sure enough, the smell that penetrated my nose was the smell of wine.
I had to pretend that I discovered it by chance and wasn’t informed by Winnie.
Maybe it was my poor acting skills, but Ai Mi was trembling with anger at my fake acting.
“Don’t tell me the juice is spoiled?” I continued my bad performance, “I heard that if wine is stored improperly, it will turn into vinegar. Maybe if juice is stored incorrectly, it would turn into wine? How about I use it to see if it could turn on your tablet…”
I said as I poured the wine from the blueberry juice bottle into the tablet’s ‘fuel tank’ and I assumed that was how it was activated.
“Asshole! Stop it!”
Ai Mi jumped up from the carpet and used all her strength to hit me who was still pouring the wine.
There was a saying ‘A tiny insect trying to shake a mighty tree is ludicrously ignorant of its own weakness’, which was applicable to the current situation —— after Ai Mi hit me with her body, I didn’t move at all, but she bounced back and almost fell.
I lifted the wine that was in the blueberry juice bottle, just like when I teased her with chips before, to a height that Ai Mi couldn’t reach even if she jumped.
“Minors are not allowed to drink! Although I don’t know where the wine came from…”
Ai Mi jumped twice in front of me in vain, trying to grab my arm, but it was wishful thinking.
At this time, Xiao Qin suddenly opened the door and came in. She wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief and complained: “The kitchen is so hot! It would be weird if I got a heat stroke during winter…”
My attention shifted slightly to Xiao Qin. Ai Mi took advantage of my distraction and suddenly ran at me and charged towards my abdominal area with her head.
“Damn manservant! How dare you stop me from trying new things! Take this! —— Ai Mi Torpedo!!”
Ai Mi’s ‘torpedo’ attack made me laugh, but I was also worried that she wouldn’t be able to control herself and fall down, so I reached out to help Ai Mi and threw the blueberry juice bottle towards Xiao Qin. I also told Xiao Qin: “Don’t let Ai Mi get her hands on this! You too…”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qin, who had just come out of the kitchen, didn’t listen to what I said. She caught the juice bottle and said happily: “Ye Lin is so considerate! I was thirsty! Gulp, gulp…”
Don’t drink it! That’s not blueberry juice! If you get drunk, then the Little Tyrant’s going to come out again!
It was too late for me to stop her. Maybe it was because the wine she drank this time had a higher alcohol content, so the effect was almost immediate. Xiao Qin’s expression changed after a few seconds.
“Where is this place?” Xiao Qin threw the empty bottle onto the carpet and the empty bottle rolled under the sofa.
“Oh, I remembered, it’s the territory of the wild donkey’s pampered sister…” Xiao Qin put her hand over her face and her eyes that could be seen from the gaps between her fingers were full of ridicule and disdain.
“Hey! What’s going on with maid Qin!?” Ai Mi asked in surprise, “Does wild donkey refer to you? How dare she say that I’m pampered?!”
“Shut up! You’re just a worthless little girl who has nothing other than your beauty!” Xiao Qin pointed at Ai Mi’s nose and shouted, ‘The most disgusting thing is that you still want to have an inappropriate relationship with your brother! I know all about it!”
“…worthless?” Ai Mi’s eyes widened in shock, and she turned to me and said, “Did you hear that manservant? Maid Qin actually dared to scold me! It seems that China is really prone to peasant uprisings! She’s about to rebel within a few days of swearing allegiance to me…”
“What does this have to do with the peasant uprising? Xiao Qin is just drunk! Although it’s unfortunate, it’s a good example. When people get drunk, they would do things they don’t normally do. Don’t you think that Xiao Qin is acting different than normal?”
Honestly, I wasn’t sure which version of Xiao Qin was her true self.
“Isn’t it interesting?” Ai Mi, who was standing by, didn’t learn her lesson, “If you can’t release your true self when you’re drunk, it would be boring! Why don’t we take a video of maid Qin when she’s drunk? After she sobers up, she will be embarrassed when we play it…”
However, as soon as Ai Mi took out her phone, Xiao Qin took a step forward and quickly captured Ai Mi.
She didn’t take the phone, but she took Ai Mi who was beside me and the phone fell on the carpet.
“What are you doing?! Let me go!” Ai Mi, who was forcibly taken to the bedroom by Xiao Qin in a princess hug, shouted angrily.
Xiao Qin completely ignored Ai Mi’s struggle. Instead, she closed the bedroom door with her feet and gave me a smile of ridicule:
“From today on, your sister is mine! You’re so weak, so it’s easy for me to take anything away from you…”
“Asshole! Scumbag! Put Ai Mi down!”
I was pissed.
Even though they were both girls and Xiao Qin couldn’t really do anything to Ai Mi, but taking my sister into a bedroom and closing the door right in front of me made me feel very unhappy.
I rushed to the bedroom door and stopped Xiao Qin from closing the door.
“Xiao Qin, put my sister down! That way we can still be good friends!”
Xiao Qin gave me a look of disdain.
“Who wants to be friends with you? Friends are a term used between people of similar strength. Have you ever heard of any country establishing diplomatic relations with gorillas?”
“Stop being so arrogant! Do you really think I can’t beat you? I’m simply letting you win!”
When Ai Mi saw me approach, she struggled even harder and looked at me for help, but she was still very mean.
“Damn manservant, why are you still standing there! Maid Qin seems to have changed into a man’s personality after she got drunk! Knock her down! If you can’t beat her, I won’t acknowledge you as my brother anymore!”
“Tsk, since the wild donkey wants to die…”
Xiao Qin suddenly threw Ai Mi onto the pink bed. Ai Mi was in a daze, but she wasn’t injured.
Xiao Qin then assumed a more masculine fighting posture and she provoked me with her gaze.
“Come on! Let’s fight again in front of your sister! Let your sister see how useless her brother is!”
“You’re the one who’s useless! You’re a worthless and unqualified maid!”
After Ai Mi composed herself on the bed, she threw a stuffed teddy bear towards Xiao Qin.
Xiao Qin chopped in the space behind her with her hand without even looking and she easily cutting off the teddy bear’s head. The teddy bear fell to the ground and the cotton filling inside was revealed.
“Alex!” Ai Mi shouted the teddy bear’s name in shock, “You… you murderer! You actually killed Alex! Manservant, hurry up and avenge Alex!”
