Linghu Jiu: "Hahaha, I won't stand on ceremony then."
He proceeded with a bowing greeting: "Brother Ning Zhuo."
Ning Zhuo reciprocated the gesture, his tone upbeat: "Brother Linghu!"
The two changed their forms of address, which brought them even closer.
Both were extremely pleased and couldn't help but lift their bowls, clink them together, and then down the contents.
Lin Bufan: ...
Linghu Jiu set down his wine bowl, and Ning Zhuo immediately filled it with Ice Jade Wine.
As Ning Zhuo poured, he said, "Since Brother doesn't know how to play the finger-guessing game, let me teach you."
"It's actually very simple. We both extend a hand and form a gesture that represents the numbers zero to five. At the same time, we guess aloud the sum of the numbers our hand gestures represent."
"Whoever guesses correctly wins. The loser has to drink a bowl as a penalty."
Linghu Jiu curiously remarked, "Eh? Isn't that penalty more of a reward?"
Ning Zhuo paused, then burst into laughter.
