The Buggiest System

126 - Two Cans

In an apartment, the one beside Wen Hui's...

A teacher was typing out a quiz for his students. It was a science quiz for fifth graders.

However, as he was extremely sleepy, he didn't notice that his questions bordered on the boundary between elementary and middle school...

The teacher's head was slowly going down before coming back up again. This happened a number of times, until eventually, he fell asleep.

Someone knocked on the door, waking the teacher up.

"Bai Peng, open up the door!"

The knocks gradually escalated from casual taps with her knuckles, to violent banging.

Bai Peng stood up as he readjusted his glasses and pushed back his chair. "Coming!"

He opened his door, and outside was Wen Hui, carrying 2 cans.

She let herself in and made herself at home.

Sitting on the sofa, she put one can down on the table and opened the other, with it making a hissing sound. She put it on her mouth and drank it.

The can on the table was of coffee, while the one in Wen Hui's hand was beer.

Seeing this, Bai Peng remained unfazed, closing the door behind him as he walked back to his computer.

He grabbed the can of coffee on the way and drank it, making him feel reinvigorated.

"Ah... thanks."

Bai Peng sat down as he took another sip of the ice cold coffee. He continued typing questions for the elementary school quiz.

The taps on the keyboard were the only sound that Wen Hui could hear, aside from her own gulping noises.

"Hey. Hey, Bai Peng." Wen Hui could not bear the quietness anymore, and with her drunkenness spurring her on, she decided to bother her friend.

"Hai... what is it?" Bai Peng was already used to this.

"You know, I encountered a student during the past three days..." Wen Hui recalled the events. "He... asked if he could sleep with me."

Bai Peng certainly did not expect this, as the coffee inside his mouth got spit out!

"What... what the hell?" Bai Peng uttered under his breath.

Wen Hui turned her head, concerned. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Continue."

"Okay... well, I agreed."

Bai Peng certainly did not expect this, as the saliva inside his mouth got spit out!

"What... the f**k is she thinking?"

"So... the day that we agreed on came."

Bai Peng certainly did not expect this, as the whatever-was-left-inside-his-mouth got spit out!

"You already did it?!" This time, Bai Peng could not keep his calm anymore.

"Geez, calm down! We didn't do it in the end, okay? He probably realized that what he did was... wrong?"

"But you agreed in the first place!"

"That's because he had pictures of me! Black. Mail. Material." Wen Hui emphasized that he had blackmail.

At that point, Bai Peng's flustered eyes turned dark. "...He dares to threaten a teacher?"

"I know, right?" Wen Hui agreed as she gulped more of the beer.

"But wait, how did he acquire those in the first place?" Bai Peng questioned.

"Oh, that? I sent him those pictures." Wen Hui was already drunk.

Bai Peng certainly did not... ah, whatever. There's nothing left inside of his mouth to spit out.

Anyway, he was dumbfounded.

Why. The. Hell. Did she send the pictures?!

Bai Peng composed himself before he continued. "So I suppose you had a prior relationship with him?"

"No, it was the second day we met. He asked to sleep with me, and I sent him pictures just in case I change my mind." Wen Hui said matter-of-factly.

At this point, Bai Peng did not even know what to say anymore. His brain juice had run dry. He had no more energy left to type, let alone listen to Wen Hui getting crazier and crazier.

He walked to his bed and crashed onto it, nullifying the effects of the coffee.

"Hey," Wen Hui said as she hiccuped, "Bai Peng."

"Shut up. Don't talk to me." Bai Peng could not handle her craziness anymore. She needed to wait until tomorrow.

In fact, Wen Hui herself found the matter peculiar. She would never do that, even if she was drunk.

Speaking of drunkenness, Wen Hui did not expect her tolerance to be this low. Before, she could take ten or so bottles before becoming drunk.

Why did she get inebriated from just one can?
