Desensitization therapy inevitably involves some initial discomfort; you'll get used to it after hugging this warm, soft body two or three times.

With the help of the beautiful woman, Zhou Yanhuai downed three glasses of Chivas Regal in a row.

This isn't beer, it's whiskey.

For Zhou Yanhuai, who had only ever drunk beer, this thing was no less significant than an atomic bomb.

After three glasses of foreign liquor, Zhou Yanhuai was completely drunk.

At first, he was able to sit upright without looking to the side, just like Liu Xiahui, who remained unmoved even with a woman in his lap.

Later, at some point, his arm was no longer stiff, and his hand moved off his knee. Once, a girl in black whispered something in his ear, and he didn't flinch; instead, he blushed and smiled.

Zheng Hao took in all of this, and finally felt relieved.

He said, there's no such thing as a real Liu Xiahui; it's just that he hasn't reached the right level yet.

Later, Zhou Yanhuai was able to take the wine glass offered by the girl on his own initiative, and he no longer stuttered when he spoke. Although his eyes would still occasionally drift to places he shouldn't be looking at, he was no longer looking furtively but openly.

Alcohol not only emboldened him, but also completely opened up this top student's mouth.

The girl in black had only casually complimented him on his intelligence, but Zhou Yanhuai, emboldened by alcohol, started seriously discussing college entrance exam questions with her while holding his glass.

Seeing his absurd behavior of explaining physics problems in the KTV room, the girl was not annoyed at all; instead, she laughed heartily.

Having some unusual hobbies is normal!

No matter what Zhou Yanhuai talked about, the girl in black would chime in, occasionally looking at him with the eyes of someone who admired an idol.

Although Zhou Yanhuai's ears were still red from being looked at with such admiration, he was clearly enjoying the vanity of being worshipped, especially by a beautiful woman.

Zheng Hao watched from the side, shaking his head repeatedly. He secretly laughed at this bookworm for wasting his talents. The girl was practically clinging to him, and he was still spouting nonsense about Lorentz force and electromagnetic induction.

"You see, when a charged particle enters a magnetic field..."

Zhou Yanhuai let out a burp and gestured with his finger on the glass coffee table, indicating the name.

The girl in black casually clung to his shoulder, bringing her face close. "Oh dear, this is so complicated, it's making my head spin. How about you teach me something else, Young Master Zhou?"

Unfortunately, alcohol only dismantled his social defenses; it did not change his core.

Faced with the girl's sweet, suggestive hint, Zhou Yanhuai became anxious, his brow furrowing. "This is the final question of the year! You...you need to get your attitude right, look at the blackboard...no, look at the desk!"

After saying that, he grabbed the girl's hand and insisted on drawing lines on the coffee table with her to solve the problem.

The girl in black had never seen anything like this before. Her fingers, adorned with exquisite manicures, froze in mid-air, and her once charming face was now filled with astonishment.

She looked at Zheng Hao pleadingly, only to find him already doubled over with laughter, clutching his stomach and convulsing on the sofa.

"Oh no, I can't take it anymore..."

Zheng Hao laughed so hard he could hardly breathe, pointing at Zhou Yanhuai and laughing heartily.

"Old Zhou, Old Zhou, coming to a KTV to tutor those hostesses in high school physics? You're absolutely the first person in Jiangyang County to do that! How are you planning to pay them for this tutoring?"

Zhou Yanhuai was clearly so drunk that he was oblivious to the time. When he heard the words "tutoring fee," his sluggish brain actually took it seriously.

He stared at the girl for a long time with his reddened eyes, then suddenly waved his hand and said in a slurred voice,

"Talking about money... talking about money is vulgar! You, if you just recite Newton's three laws of motion for me, I'll treat you to today's lesson for free!"

The girl in black completely broke down, and took the opportunity to pull her hand away abruptly, rubbing her reddened hand as if she wanted to cry.

"My dear brother, I'm here to keep you company while you drink, not to take the Tsinghua University entrance exam! Fine, I won't keep the fee, okay?"

After saying that, she shrank to the other end of the sofa as if fleeing, afraid that this living devil would catch her again and test her on the conservation of momentum.

Seeing the girl in black run away, Zhou Yanhuai's hand, which was raised in mid-air, paused awkwardly for a moment. He frowned and sighed with heartache.

"Rotten wood... utterly hopeless!"

He mumbled something with a thick tongue, then shook his head and turned around, his hazy gaze precisely locking onto another girl in white who had been playing a background role.

The girl in white was originally eating sunflower seeds and watching the show when she was suddenly stared at by this oppressive, headmaster-like gaze, which made her tremble all over.

"Um...Young Master Zhou, I've never passed physics since junior high..."

She made a last-ditch effort, hoping that this young master Zhou would let her go.

Unfortunately, she was overthinking it.

"You're weak in one subject, huh? That makes things even easier! Physics and math are closely related, so I'll tutor you in math first—do you know trigonometric functions? sin, cos, draw a unit circle, and you'll see, when the angle approaches zero, the sine value also approaches zero..."

As he spoke, he dipped his finger into the water stain on the table and drew a crooked coordinate system on the glass coffee table.

The girl in white watched helplessly as he gripped her wrist, and a drunken bookworm began drawing function graphs on the coffee table. Her expression shifted from fear to numbness, and then from numbness to a resigned acceptance of the inevitable.

She knew money wouldn't be easy to get, but she never imagined she'd have to trade her intelligence for it!

"Young Master Zhou..."

The girl in white's eyes were red, and her voice trembled with tears. "Can I sing for you? Can I sing 'Conquer'?"

"Singing? What songs? What time is it and you're still thinking about singing?"

"Can singing help you find the extreme value of a parabola? Can singing help you establish yourself in this complex and ever-changing society? Do you know how dangerous your attitude of avoiding the important issues in learning is?!"

The girl in white completely resigned herself to her fate. "Dangerous, too dangerous... Young Master Zhou, I really know I was wrong. Please tell me, I'm listening carefully..."
