Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 356 Xia Yiyi's One-Day Trip to Beijing! (Two Chapters Combined)

"Just get him completely drunk. Who knows, there might be some unexpected surprise?"

The meaningful sentence Bai Ling uttered near the end of their last video call has been on Xia Yi's mind for two whole days.

For the past two days, Xia Yiyi has been constantly pondering what Bai Ling meant by those words.

Of course, she did try to verify this with Bai Ling.

However, because Ximen Lang was watching from the side, Bai Ling ended the topic abruptly before she could even ask the question, diverting the conversation to something else entirely.

It's obvious that there are concerns.

Helpless, Xia Yiyi could only suppress her doubts.

He spent the next two days deep in thought, trying to decipher the mystery in Bai Ling's words.

However, because Bai Ling suddenly took a step forward and then abruptly ended it, Xia Yiyi racked her brains for two whole days but still couldn't figure out what she meant by those words.

Therefore, inevitably, this question that had been lingering in Xia Yiyi's mind and which she could not find an answer to directly affected Xia Yiyi's life.

then
Xia Yiyi, who was always absent-minded, half-hearted, and extremely careless, was caught red-handed by Ximen Lang.

Seeing that not much time had passed, her personal trainer Xia Yiyi started to drift off again and became out of sorts.

After two days of intensive training, Ximen Lang, who had gained some control over his suddenly improved physical abilities, couldn't help but sigh.

"Big sister, are you ever going to stop? Are you still thinking about what Bai Ling said? Seriously, instead of wasting your time pondering these trivial things, you should focus on helping me gain control of these powers as soon as possible. That's what's important, you know?"

Yes, as time went on, Simon Lang gradually changed his attitude towards these tedious training sessions.

From initially feeling extremely averse to it and not wanting to spend any effort or time on it, I changed to still being extremely reluctant, but I had to force myself to accept it and try my best to complete these tedious and boring training sessions.

As for why this sudden change occurred...
nonsense!

Of course I was holding it in!
For the past few days, Xia Yiyi has been pushing her own limits in various ways to help herself meet some of her needs and relieve some of her stress.

But it's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause!

This thing might seem novel for a day or two, but once it's been around for a while...
Especially since I can only look but not eat, I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt them and leave them with lifelong trauma, so I never get to fully enjoy myself.
This situation had only lasted for two or three days, and before Xia Yiyi could even speak, Ximen Lang couldn't take it anymore.

There was no other way; Simon Lang had to place all his hopes on scientific training, which seemed impressive but was actually boring, tedious, and useful.

Especially after two or three days of scientific training, Ximen Lang has clearly felt his improvement in controlling his strength.

In this situation, Ximen Lang would naturally be dissatisfied with Xia Yiyi's absent-minded attitude.

He truly thought her passive attitude of going the long way around was incredibly foolish. Holding an egg, he threw a punch, and Ximen Lang punched right through the specially made wooden board that was one centimeter thick in front of him.

He showed the perfectly intact egg in his hand, letting the facts speak for themselves.

Ximen Lang continued.

"See? This is what you call useful! Once I practice to the point where I can do this every time, ensuring the egg remains intact every time, playing however I want will be a piece of cake! Why would I need to resort to these underhanded tricks and ruin my reputation as a modern-day Liu Xiahui, the great official Ximen!"

After the demonstration, Xia Yiyi finally snapped out of her deep thought.

When Xia Yiyi saw that Ximen Lang actually believed she was thinking about that kind of thing and even compared her to Liu Xiahui in modern times, she was speechless.

That was utterly despicable, Xia Yiyi said with utter contempt.

"You're shameless! Someone like you dares to call yourself a modern-day Liu Xiahui? Don't tarnish Liu Xiahui's reputation! If your thoughts were any healthier and your motives any simpler, I wouldn't despise you so much!"

The spray hit Ximen Lang's face so hard it couldn't stay on.

Ximen Lang immediately retorted.

"Hello! Hello, can you keep thinking about Bai Ling's words all day long? Don't think I don't know what you secretly went out to do yesterday. You went to buy alcohol! If you didn't want to, would you have gone out to buy alcohol so late?"

They started hurting each other directly, which made Xia Yiyi's face visibly embarrassed.

"I really think this can't go on any longer," Ximen Lang earnestly advised.

"Really, just listen to me. Focus your energy on important, legitimate things, and stop thinking about those trivial matters. It's useless, you know?"

Originally, the conversation should have ended there.

In addition, he simply couldn't fathom the secret behind Bai Ling's words.

Xia Yiyi had originally planned to give up.

But, of all things considered, Ximen Lang made the terrible mistake of adding another sentence.

"Besides, what's so great about alcohol? Baijiu tastes awful, and beer makes you feel bloated. The worst part is that drinking too much can easily lead to trouble! Didn't I do that last time? Just because I was happy, I drank a little too much, and I almost messed up something big. It was terrifying!"

It's no wonder Xia Yiyi made all sorts of connections based on this.

Then, Xia Yiyi immediately thought of the incident where Bai Ling took a day trip to the future.

Furthermore, since then, Simon's alcohol intake has plummeted, to the point where he almost never drinks.

Now, Xia Yiyi finally understood what Xia Yiyi meant by her meaningful remark, "Maybe there will be some unexpected gains!"

It's no exaggeration to say that after figuring out these key points, Xia Yiyi was immediately jolted awake.

then
You have to drink this wine, whether you like it or not!

And in order to make this drinking session happen, a reasonable and plausible reason must be found.

Even when Ximen Lang slandered her, saying that she was just like him and thought about that kind of thing all day long, Xia Yiyi gritted her teeth and chose to acquiesce.

He made the decision immediately.

"No! We have to try this method no matter what! Otherwise, I will never be satisfied!"

"Perfect timing! I bought all the liquor yesterday! Moutai, Wuliangye, and Mendao Lv—you name it!"

"And they're all high-proof spirits from older vintages! Their strength speaks for itself!"

"Let's mix them all together—white wine, beer, and red wine—and drink them in all sorts of different ways!"

"I refuse to believe I can't get you drunk!"

Originally, seeing how well-prepared Xia Yiyi was and how ruthless she was, Ximen Lang was about to sigh.

"You're really ruthless! You can be so cruel to yourself, you're outrageous!"

It's clear that after taking such a big detour, Xia Yiyi's target is actually herself!

After all this fuss, it turns out these things were prepared for him! It was a complete reversal of expectations, and Ximen Lang was immediately unhappy!

"No wonder people say the most poisonous heart is a woman's! You really are vicious! You even mixed the drinks together, trying to make me drink them in different ways. Aren't you afraid of making me sick?! And why are you forcing me to drink? Why don't you drink some yourself?!"

Xia Yiyi is so smart!
From the moment she made up her mind to get Ximen Lang drunk, she had already anticipated this situation and found countless reasons to deal with it.

Therefore, he saw that Ximen Lang was indeed throwing a tantrum as he had expected.

Various reasons came to mind without hesitation, and Xia Yiyi immediately explained them with reason and emotion.

"I'd like to, but there's nothing I can do. You're the modern-day Liu Xiahui, after all. With your integrity, you would never do such beastly things!"

"I was afraid of wasting this opportunity, so I had no choice but to harden my heart and make things difficult for you. I'll take the blame!"

As for whether drinking like this will cause any problems...
"You're overthinking it!"

Xia Yiyi continued, patting Ximen Lang's muscular body, which seemed almost inhuman.

"With your robust physique, which is no different from that of a large animal, even if a large animal gets into trouble after drinking, you won't! At most, you'll have a headache for a while the next day. It's not that easy for you to get seriously injured!"

Ximen Lang was left speechless, unable to express his bitterness or shed tears. His finger trembled slightly as he pointed at Xia Yiyi, unable to utter a single word.

He remained silent.
"Then I'll take that as a yes!"

Perfect timing, after practicing for so long, it's time to finish training.

They didn't want to delay at all and couldn't wait to verify their guesses.

Holding onto the reluctant Simon Lang's arm, Xia Yiyi jogged along and pulled him directly to the garage. Then, they sped off and drove back home.

It arrived at the same time as the takeout!
Without a word, he grabbed a few large bowls, mixed this with that, and quickly filled Ximen Lang's bowl to the brim!

Seeing that Xia Yiyi was actually going to such lengths, Ximen Lang couldn't hold back any longer.

In just a short while, empty wine bottles had already littered the ground.

Ximen Lang protested directly.

"No way, you're really treating me like an animal! People drink from small cups, but you're serving me huge bowls! Tell me, is this even fair?!"

This is certainly outrageous.

"But who told you to be so healthy? A small wine cup isn't as efficient as a big bowl. If we used a small wine cup, you could drink until tomorrow and still not get drunk, which would be such a waste of time! This is much more practical!"

They've really annoyed Ximen Lang.

Seeing that she had indeed gone too far, Xia Yiyi resorted to her tried-and-true trick.

Taking advantage of Ximen Lang's weakness of being easily swayed by soft words and not by force, she grabbed his arm and began to speak pitifully as if it were a real story.

"Just take pity on me and satisfy my curiosity! I promise you, as long as you satisfy my curiosity, no matter whether this matter ultimately succeeds or not, I will listen to you from now on! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west! If you tell me to beat a dog, I will never chase a chicken!"

"If it really doesn't work, I'll drink with you! I'll finish a bowl too, is that alright? Is that okay now?"

Having said that, he was truly determined.

In order to make the performance convincing and pave the way for the future.

He picked up the large bowl in front of him and gulped down two big mouthfuls.

This startled Ximen Lang, who quickly stopped him.

He snatched the large bowl, which had clearly shrunk in just a short while, from Xia Yiyi's already flushed face.

Seeing that this woman was truly fierce, Ximen Lang pointed at her and said irritably.

"What are you doing? Are you out of your mind! What if you drink yourself into a stupor?! Who's going to take responsibility then?!"

"But you drink it like that too."

"You think you can compare to me? What's my physical condition compared to yours? With my physique, I could take on a lion, a tiger, or a bear one-on-one. Can you even do that?!"

A series of smooth, overlapping moves completely outmaneuvered Ximen Lang.

Without Xia Yiyi needing to persuade him any further, he had already accepted that he would inevitably be drunk by Xia Yiyi today.

I made a comment.
"With all of you like this, I'm sure I'll suffer a great defeat at your hands sooner or later!"

Then, without further ado...

With Xia Yiyi's endless flattery and meticulous service, Ximen Lang picked up the large bowl in front of him and started drinking as much as he could, indulging in a hearty and unrestrained manner.

They truly drank like guzzlers, guzzling alcohol as if it were water.

And then.
Because he drank too fast and too much, Ximen Lang quickly became completely drunk.

And then
Xia Yiyi was immediately disappointed.

Because unlike others who cry, make a scene, and act crazy when drunk.

After Ximen Lang got drunk, he neither cried nor made a fuss.

What stands out is his excellent drinking habits. He skillfully leans back on the sofa and immediately falls asleep, yawning loudly.

And she slept so soundly!
Forget about him taking her on a tour of Beijing like he did with Bai Ling, just as she hoped. Even if you took advantage of this moment to cut off their two kidneys, he wouldn't react at all!
Seeing that this guy was sleeping so fast and so soundly!
Before I could even react, he had fallen into a deep sleep!
Even Xia Yiyi didn't know whether she should praise Ximen Lang's excellent wine or express deep regret.

After waiting a while and trying again, he still couldn't get any response from Ximen Lang.

Helpless and with no other options, Xia Yiyi had no choice but to give up those chaotic ideas.

While inwardly cursing
"I shouldn't have trusted that guy! Now look what happened, I've made things worse!"

One side.
She really used all her strength, supporting Ximen Lang's arm, and slowly made her way to the bedroom.

Then, Xia Yiyi suddenly realized that she had overestimated her strength.

Yes, because Ximen Lang weighed 150 kilograms, Xia Yiyi was exhausted after only a few steps.

It looked like he was about to lose his balance and fall.

A sudden remark.
"Stop it, honey~"

A sudden dizzying sensation!
The next second, Xia Yiyi was surprised to find that the scenery around her had changed!

And then.
Without warning, a dark gun barrel was pressed directly against Xia Yiyi's head!
