[Host, are you really drunk?] The System curiously asked.
'No! Why would I be drunk? Who on Earth could beat me in a drinking battle?' Xu Jiaqi replied, thinking that the System was being ridiculous.
She was just playing the role of an accidental drunkard.
[Then, why are you..]
'It's called strategy. Just trust me on this one, alright? I know what I'm doing.'
The System didn't feel relief at all. Instead, he continued to worry about her, wondering if this would really be okay.
Instead of evading Gin, Xu Jiaqi was approaching him on her own, like playing with fire.
He knew that he wasn't supposed to interfere with her decisions too much. That she also had her own free will and the freedom to act upon it. He was just very worried. Like a distraught parent seeing their troublemaker child.
Xu Jiaqi didn't regard the System's worry as anything serious and continued on drinking.
