To avoid getting drunk and embarrassing herself in front of Zuo Xingyun again, Xiang Wan had been careful with her alcohol consumption and didn't drink much.
As the night wore on, Shi Nian'an danced wildly and got happily buzzed. She wasn't blacked out, but her speech occasionally slurred, and her thoughts seemed more straightforward.
Late at night, coming out of the bar, Xiang Wan suggested that Achen first take Shi Nian'an home. Shi Nian'an waved her hand grandly, "No need, I can just call a ride-sharing service myself. I'm not drunk, and if I run into any trouble, I know to call the police."
Achen nodded like crazy, "I think that's fine."
Xiang Wan sighed, "Then take care of yourself, and call me when you get home."
Shi Nian'an gestured an 'OK' sign, took out her phone to order a ride, and suddenly realized it was dead, "Xiaowan, can I borrow your phone? Mine's out of battery."
