World Seven (22) Signals (1/2)

The suite has an entire floor-to-ceiling window, and the curtains are not drawn, so you can overlook the bright lights of the city from a high place.

The light on the bar was not enough to illuminate the entire room, but the dim light made the woman lying on the sofa fall into a deep sleep.

Liang Yu spent five minutes taking a cold shower. Water was still dripping from his hair, so he wrapped himself in a bathrobe and opened the bathroom door.

The person on the sofa did not leave. Rather, she did not even change her sleeping position at all.

There was a half-empty bottle of whiskey on the bar. The outer walls of the two glasses were clean, with no condensation from the cold.

Although Lin Jiu said from the beginning that she didn't know how to drink, her drinking capacity was really bad beyond Liang Yu's expectation. What's more, someone who rarely even drinks red wine was coaxed into drinking half a glass today. Whiskey on the rocks without water.

Half an hour ago, Liang Yu chose a whiskey from a row of wines and shook it at Lin Jiu, "Want to try this?"

If it were normal, Lin Jiu would definitely refuse without hesitation, but now that he had just finished paying tribute to his teacher, it was obviously not within the ordinary category.

"Okay." Lin Jiu responded readily, sitting opposite Liang Yu and watching Liang Yu pour himself more than half a cup of golden wine.

When he picked up another cup, Liang Yu raised his head and asked Lin Jiu, "Do you want to add ice or water?"

Lin Jiu glanced at Liang Yu's cup hesitantly. As the heir of Li Hua, she didn't like drinking. Naturally, no unwise person would ask her to go to the wine shop. Even though she knew the whiskey was very strong, she didn't have any intuition at all. The experience, "Aren't you going to add it?"

"I won't." Liang Yu shook his head and waited patiently for Lin Jiu's answer.

"Then I won't join you either." Lin Jiu jumped into Liang Yu's trap without knowing anything.

Liang Yu poured Lin Jiu the same amount of whiskey as himself without any objection, and handed it to Lin Jiu who didn't notice anything was wrong at all.

In game theory, this is called information following. If the initial investors release negative signals, subsequent investors will also make negative judgments regardless of the positive signals they have received privately.

In short, this is a herd mentality, and someone as smart as Lin Jiu has fallen into the trap of the herd effect without knowing it.

"Please." Liang Yu's eyes looked darker than usual. He put the wine glass in front of Lin Jiu, then picked up his own glass, raised his head and took a sip.

Such a bold action undoubtedly sent another wrong signal to Lin Jiu. Lin Jiu picked up the wine glass, and the golden liquid was so spicy that it made Lin Jiu want to cough just by putting it under her nose.

Lin Jiu raised his head and glanced at Liang Yu, who had a normal expression. He smiled with some unknown meaning and said softly, "If you can't drink, don't force yourself."

It's a provocative method, but it works. Lin Jiu shook his head, imitating Liang Yu's example and pouring strong liquor into his mouth.

The wine was like a burning flame burning all the way down his throat. When Lin Jiu swallowed that big mouthful of strong wine, it was like he had eaten ten pounds of deviled chili peppers.

Lin Jiu couldn't hold back her strength and banged the glass heavily on the bar. The burning feeling quickly spread from her stomach to her whole body, and even her head began to throb.

This was Lin Jiu's first time drinking such strong wine. It would be better to say that she had almost never drank alcohol before today.

"Are you okay?" Liang Yu's voice seemed to be coming from a very far away place, but it was so close that he seemed to be speaking in his ear.

Lin Jiu held her forehead, coughed a few times, and subconsciously said "It's okay."

Liang Yu shook the cup in his hand, took a sip, and let the wine slowly dissolve in his mouth. Then he put down the cup and touched Lin Jiu's cheek with the back of his hand.

The alcohol had gone to her head and her cheeks were hot. Lin Jiu opened her eyes to look at Liang Yu, but did not avoid it. She just let Liang Yu's hand slowly go down, and finally clasped her chin.

"What, what's wrong?" Lin Jiu blinked her eyes, even stumbling over her words.

Liang Yu smiled silently, "Is this wine too strong? How about some wine instead?"

Lin Jiu thought about it with her already slow brain. The logic of this sentence seemed very reasonable, so she nodded, "Okay."

The person in front of him was so obedient that it was difficult not to have destructive thoughts. Liang Yu touched the tip of his tongue to the roof of his mouth, opened a bottle of red wine, took another glass, poured half a glass and handed it to Lin Jiu.

Drinking mixed wine is the easiest way to get intoxicated. Unfortunately, Lin Jiu could not clearly realize this at this time. She took the glass obediently and drank it for herself in small sips.

Liang Yu kept swaying his wine glass, staring intently at Lin Jiu's eyes that became moister every time he swallowed.

She was drunk. Liang Yu realized before Lin Jiu himself that the empty glass still carried the aroma of wine that had not been fully awakened. After being placed on the edge of the bar by the unconscious drunk, he shook it again. It shook and fell.

The quality of the glass was surprisingly good. After it hit the carpet with a muffled sound, it just rolled away.

"Nye, when people grow up, do they really become what they once hated?" Liang Yu put down the wine glass in his hand and watched the person lying on the bar in a daze.

"What...?" Lin Jiu mumbled out two words while rubbing her face against the cold marble countertop. She felt like she was about to burn up.

"Let me say," Liang Yu walked to Lin Jiu's side and gently stroked Lin Jiu's red cheeks with his fingers, "Because you love someone, you want to completely possess her. Is this emotion wrong?"

What is he saying? What errors are not errors? Lin Jiu's mind was groggy, and he casually said: "Isn't it...?" Lin Jiu tried hard to open his eyes wide, but the person in front of him was still a blur.

Liang Yu's fingers touched Lin Jiu's red lips and rubbed them gently, "This is what you said."
