My Life with Narration

Chapter 705: Chapter 696: Drink This and Even an Atomic Bomb Won’t Scare You

So awkward, the official language couldn’t be recognized, and it was quite dismissive.

Indeed, Su Qing’s English proficiency, how to say, after four years of university’s laissez-faire lifestyle and over a year post-graduation life, his mind probably only has some simple words left, not even able to form a coherent sentence, so he adopted a Sino-Western fusion method, but now it seems, the effect is not very apparent.

"I told you to mess with motherpiuter, I told you you’re from the suburbs, you’re trying to piss me off, aren’t you!"

Outside the private room

Because it was a bit awkward just now, Su Qing couldn’t help but use the excuse of needing to pee to calm his mood, unexpectedly, Shen Yi followed him out, and started pinching him, making him grimace in pain.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but her pronunciation really is different from my elementary school teacher’s, a bit tongue-tied, and my English teacher had actually lived abroad!" Su Qing argued in defense of his teacher.

After all, he had pronounced it like that since he was a child, how could it be my fault? It must be that Shavanna, she’s from the suburbs.

Just like some local dialects in our country, for example, Sichuan dialect, Hunan dialect, Cantonese, anyway, he doesn’t understand a word, maybe what Shavanna speaks is a dialect, the pronunciation’s not standard.

Anyway, Su Qing doesn’t admit there was anything wrong with the way he learned to pronounce in elementary school, it was too much of a blow for him.

"You... you still say that, she’s a foreigner, do foreigners not understand? Would a foreigner not know her own native language? Why are you being so stubborn.

Alright, I’ve seen enough, I’m done hoping with you, later just play your part as the silent boyfriend, don’t open your mouth, just watch me perform, got it?" Shen Yi said, rubbing her forehead.

Su Qing nodded repeatedly, not for anything else, but because he was afraid Shen Yi would get angry to the point of no return, after all, a woman’s desire to win can be terrifying, stepping out at this crucial moment is asking for trouble, just like how explosive a gas cylinder can be.

Soon, the two returned to the room, Shen Yi continued serving tea for the two of them, chatting in a mix of English and Chinese without barriers, discussing school days and recent experiences over the years.

"Shen, you’re getting prettier and prettier, I really like your style!"

"Really, I like it too, you’re not bad either!"

"Yeah, just that you’re a bit short, if you were a bit taller that would be great, your country’s people are all kind of small, lacking a bit of sensuality!"

Shen Yi: ...

Su Qing: slurp (drinking tea watching the scene)

Indeed, although Shen Yi is a full 1.7 meters tall, Shavanna stands tall at a full 1.8 meters, anyway, standing with Su Qing, the two are almost of the same height, and she’s wearing flat shoes.

As for their body types, both have the slender figure, but in terms of curvy silhouette, Shen Yi falls slightly behind, it’s no wonder, that’s a racial advantage, plus Shavanna’s skin is even fairer.

"Ahem, this is our country’s oriental beauty, you wouldn’t understand, let’s have some tea. By the way, are you still single after all these years? Haven’t you had a boyfriend?" Shen Yi said defiantly, ready to counterattack.

"Nonono, how could that be, I’ve had several boyfriends, if not business elites then muscular male models, all top-notch in physique and looks, I heard this should be your first boyfriend, right?"

Shen Yi took a sip of tea and chuckled lightly: "Yes, maybe we’ll get married this year."

Shavanna: ???

"Cough cough cough, so soon? Shen... have you thought it through?"

"Of course, my boyfriend, in terms of height and appearance, he’s good, but the key is, he built himself up from scratch and by 23, had amassed a wealth worth hundreds of millions, if converted to US dollars, it should be tens of millions, so I’m very satisfied."

Shen Yi, who never cared about his financial condition, surprisingly showcased her boyfriend’s economic situation today, showing how much she wanted to win.

Hearing this, Shavanna couldn’t help but widen her eyes: "Oh my God, is this for real? This is unbelievable. Did he really build it up from scratch and not inherit it?"

"Of course, last year when the two of us just started dating, he was just an ordinary office worker!"

Then, before Su Qing could be modest, Shen Yi briefly told how he traded stocks in the market last year, dabbled in real estate projects, and now invests in films.

This wasn’t a secret, after all, Shen Yi was involved in almost every part, whereas Shavanna listened wide-eyed, she had seen many business elites, even her own mid-sized company was built with family help and years of hard work.

Looking at Su Qing beside her, who remained silent pretending to be deep, Shavanna couldn’t believe such a tiny guy could be so capable, but she knew Shen Yi well, Shen Yi wouldn’t lie to her about something so baseless.

"Oh, right, my boyfriend is also a public figure, he has over a million followers on his social media account, he’s quite a popular influencer."

"Oh my God, over a million? That’s more than the population of the city where I was born, is he a celebrity?"

"No, he’s just an ordinary person!"

Hearing this, Shavanna turned to look at Su Qing and said, "I know people in your country like traditional women, I’m good friends with Shen, if you don’t mind, I can be the little one..."

Su Qing: Pfft~~~

He was leisurely watching the scene, but the next second, he almost choked on tea, Goddamn traditional, what the hell do you mean by little one.

Your country’s openness in this aspect, don’t drag me in, we’re traditional here!

"Cough cough cough cough~~"

Seeing this, Shen Yi glared at Shavanna and then quickly patted his back and explained: "She didn’t mean what you think, when she says being the little one, it’s like little sister-in-law, meaning she lets you call her missy in the future!"

"Missy? Yep, looking at her outfit, she looks like a wealthy family’s pampered daughter!" Su Qing quickly wiped his mouth and said.

"Oh, shut up, stop being cheeky!"

But despite saying this, her face still wore a delighted smile, finding it very pleasing.

"Su, why don’t you come with me and let’s go back to my country together, then our family can take on Hollywood!" Shavanna said happily.

Su Qing: ???

Hearing this, Shen Yi covered her forehead and explained, "What she means is, why don’t you collaborate with her? She has some connections over there, and then you can invest in Hollywood scripts!"

Su Qing patted his chest repeatedly, somewhat startled. It seems this woman’s Chinese isn’t that great, about the same level as my English.

"No, no, I’m doing quite well here, I don’t want to go abroad!" Su Qing quickly declined.

Upon hearing this, Shavanna looked a little disappointed. If it was really as Shen Yi said, then this young man in front of her would definitely be a talent, and her attempt to poach him had failed. However, she wasn’t too upset.

Soon, just between the three of them, they drank almost three pots of tea. As for tea drinking, among the three, there was one foreigner and two young locals. Who here really understood tea? They just found a place to chat and at the same time gave their foreign friend a little introduction to Chinese culture.

Clearly, during the chat later, Shen Yi took the upper hand thanks to her dual success in career and love, especially with the capabilities of Su Qing supporting her, which gave her a boost in front of her opponent.

Few people become billionaire entrepreneurs from scratch at such a young age, let alone someone with decent looks. How many of those exist worldwide?

"Shen, do you have any plans for the evening? How about we go to a bar?" Inside the car, the two sat in the back seat, and Shavanna suggested.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi shook her head, "Let’s skip the bar. I’m not really into it. How about we go for dinner later? I’ve arranged an authentic Chinese restaurant, guaranteed to be a feast for you!"

"Really? That’s great!"

The group left the teahouse and went directly to the restaurant Shen Yi had arranged. Indeed, there were many elements of Chinese culture, captivating Shavanna.

The table was filled with Cantonese cuisine: roast pigeon, silky fish balls, sweet and sour pork, rich soup, roast suckling pig, crispy roast goose, treasure melon bowl, baked lobster, and Abalone.

When it comes to food, there’s no competition worldwide, after all, in this field, we are the ancestors.

"Su... do you have any dreams?" sitting on the chair, Shavanna suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was a little stunned, what is this, suddenly turning into a voice competition?

"The old order has died, the new one rises, it’s the year of the Jiazi cycle, and all’s well in the world, get it?"

Shavanna: ???

"I don’t understand~~"

"To put it simply, forget it, you wouldn’t get it even if I explained it. What do you want to say?"

"I want to say, isn’t your country known for its drinking culture at the table? How about we have a drink?"

"Wow, I thought you were a genie who could grant me three wishes. Is it drinking? Let my girlfriend join you, I’m not good with alcohol!" Su Qing replied.

[Because of her national background and her job, Shavanna had quite a high tolerance for alcohol. Vodka was like water to her, capable of drinking eight rounds against you, even capable of drinking you under the table. She felt disadvantaged by Shen Yi today, so she wanted to regain some ground with you.]

Listening to the narration in his head, Su Qing would certainly not fall for it. It’s not that there aren’t people who can outdrink him in eight rounds, but it’s not necessarily true they have high tolerance. However, he could easily handle her.

"Yes, Shavanna, his drinking tolerance is particularly low. He hardly drinks usually, I will drink with you!"

"Nonono, there’s a saying in your country that goes, having friends coming from afar, isn’t it delightful? I still want to talk with your man!"

The two of them: ...

Isn’t it said that outsiders are bold? Is this the way you should be speaking so frankly? Even if you have such thoughts in your heart, you shouldn’t say it out loud!

"Uh... are you sure?"

"Of course, do you have vodka?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing laughed, "Vodka, no, you wait!"

Saying that, he directly got up, went to the counter, and soon came back holding two bottles of 62-degree Erguotou, placed them on the table, opened them, and at once transformed into a cheeky war god smiled and said:

"This is called Erguotou, the best baijiu in our country!"

Shavanna: "Isn’t Moutai the best baijiu in your country?"

"Oh, so you know about Moutai, but that’s what you foreigners think. We only drink this, dare to try it? This stuff gives you courage, even if an atomic bomb came, you wouldn’t be afraid!"

"Whatever, fill it up for me!"

"Drinking with cups has no thrill, switch to bowls. If you drink it, I’ll... I’ll... consider you awesome!"

Shavanna: ???

"What does ’consider you awesome’ mean, is there any saying?"

"’Consider you awesome’ is the highest honor we men can bestow on someone in our country!"

"Alright, then I’ll drink!"

Shen Yi: ...
