Chapter 23 Shirley’s Invitation

“Carlisle, are you free this time? My treat?” Shirley gritted her teeth and said rather bitterly.

In the past, other boys had always begged to treat her to a meal, but she had never taken the initiative to treat any boy.

Yet, the first time she took the initiative, she was cruelly rejected by Carlisle, which dealt a huge blow to her pride.

However, this also aroused her competitiveness and curiosity. Carlisle’s indifferent attitude towards her made her feel that Carlisle was different.

Therefore, after some preparations, she invited Carlisle to dinner for the second time. If Carlisle rejected her again, she would really be angry.

Carlisle didn’t expect Shirley to be so persistent to insist on treating him to a meal. Why hadn’t such a good thing happened in the past?

However, he had already rejected Shirley in front of so many people. This time, Carlisle was too embarrassed to refuse.

“Alright,” Carlisle replied very calmly.

“Woah, when did Carlisle become so awesome? He’s so calm even when the school belle treats him to a meal?”

“He’s more than calm. I even sense a trace of impatience from him.”

Ignoring the discussions around him, Carlisle followed Shirley out of the school gate.

After successfully asking for a date, Shirley finally smiled in satisfaction.

But as she laughed, Shirley froze. When had she ever been excited about getting a date?

After thinking about it, perhaps the scene of Carlisle spending money in front of her last time had tempted her heart.

“Shirley, what are we eating?” Carlisle asked indifferently.

Even Alice had treated him to a meal. The school belle could no longer stir his heart.

“I’m here to thank you for the gift you gave me last time, so it’s up to you!” Shirley replied generously.

“Are you sure you want me to choose?” Carlisle revealed a malicious smile.

Shirley’s throat moved slightly, and she was a little nervous. She also knew that Carlisle must be a rich second-generation heir. If he really chose a restaurant she couldn’t afford, how awkward would that be?

Still, Shirley pretended to be calm. “Of course, choose whatever you want. I won’t be called Shirley if I ever frowned at it,” Shirley said generously.

Looking at Shirley’s bold appearance, Carlisle couldn’t help but laugh. Shirley’s personality didn’t match her quiet appearance, but it made her strangely cute.

“Alright, follow me then. Don’t cry later!”

“Fine, I’ll go. Am I that petty? Hmph!”

An hour later, Shirley was in tears.

It was not that Carlisle had chosen a luxurious restaurant to order a lot of expensive food. On the contrary, he had chosen the lobster restaurant that he had come to with Alice last time.

However, Carlisle ordered two sets of double extra spicy lobsters. He was very curious about how a beauty like Shirley would react to dealing with spicy lobsters.

Moreover, because of Carlisle’s extravagant splashing of more than a million dollars on strangers last time, the restaurant owner remembered Carlisle. To express his goodwill, the boss gave him two more lobsters.

Carlisle watched as Shirley ate the lobsters one after another. At first, it was fine, but gradually, Shirley couldn’t take the spiciness anymore. Her face was flushed and she kept panting.

Toward the end, tears flowed non-stop.

“Carlisle, who would bring a girl here to eat lobster and even order some double extra spicy ones!” Shirley said bitterly.

“I see you’re eating happily,” Carlisle said with a smile.

Carlisle realized that beautiful girls had unknown sides. Alice was like that, and so was Shirley.

Although Shirley complained, she was not slow at all in peeling the lobster, as if she was afraid that Carlisle would snatch it from her. “Carlisle, you’re too annoying!” Shirley pouted playfully.

It was hard to tell if her red face was from the spice or because she was shy.

“Do you need to order something to drink?” Worried that Shirley would go crazy from the spiciness, Carlisle asked with concern.

Shirley didn’t try to be brave. “Yes.”

Hence, Carlisle beckoned the waiter over.

“Hello, please serve us two bottles of juice,”

Carlisle instructed.

“Wait!” Shirley suddenly exclaimed.

“Juice? Why are you eating lobster and drinking juice? Please give me a box of beer! I want something cold!”

Carlisle was stunned. Looking at Shirley’s temperament, for a moment, Carlisle thought that a secret society boss was sitting in front of him. “What are you looking at? Have you never seen a lady drink?” Shirley said indifferently. Soon, a large box of beer was brought over.

Shirley directly took out a bottle and skillfully opened the bottle cap with a starter. Then, she filled up her glass.

Without another word, Carlisle watched as Shirley finished almost 500ml of beer in one go. “Burp~” After drinking it, she couldn’t help but burp.

Carlisle was really stunned. Was this really the second most beautiful girl in the faculty of arts, the goddess in the hearts of countless people?

As if realizing that she had lost her composure, Shirley laughed in embarrassment. “Hehe, I’ve embarrassed myself. Don’t let me drink alone!” With that, Shirley filled Carlisle’s glass.

Before Carlisle could react, the beer was already in front of him.

What happened next exceeded Carlisle’s expectations. He was forcefully pulled by Shirley and forced to drink at least half a dozen beers. Towards the end, he was a little dizzy, but Shirley acted as if nothing had happened. She even mocked Carlisle for not being able to drink and not acting like a man at all. How could Carlisle take it?

He picked up the bottle and drank it. In the end, Carlisle drank seven or eight bottles, and Shirley drank 15 bottles!

What goddess? This was clearly the God of Alcohol!

After leaving the restaurant, Carlisle could not even tell directions. He only felt that the things around him were spinning non-stop. Shirley was slightly better, but she was also slightly dizzy.

“Carlisle, you’re not good at this! You stopped after just a few bottles. And you call yourself a man!” Shirley mocked. Although he was already dizzy, Carlisle immediately went forward and grabbed Shirley’s shoulder when he heard her mockery.

“You… should never say that a man is no good!” Carlisle said domineeringly. However, before he could finish speaking, his head fell onto Shirley’s shoulder. “Sure, you’re the best! You still have to rely on a girl like me to carry you back!” Shirley criticized silently. Carlisle was really drunk. Shirley wanted to take a taxi back to school, but Carlisle’s body wouldn’t budge. “What should we do? Carlisle, wake up…’ “I Shirley gently slapped Carlisle’s face, but there was no reaction.

Just as Shirley was at her wits’ end, she noticed a hotel beside the restaurant.
