When Bai Zhizhan awoke, he realized he was already lying in a hotel bed.
He hadn't blacked out this time, he clearly remembered walking back to the hotel, where the receptionist even offered to help him upstairs, which he declined. After returning to his room, he hadn't forgotten to wash his face and rinse his mouth, but he couldn't remember how he got into bed, took off his clothes, or pulled up the covers.
In fact, he hadn't drunk much last night, at most half a bottle.
It wasn't that Bai Zhizhan couldn't hold his liquor; it was that the chef was a bit stingy. Seeing how quickly Bai Zhizhan was drinking, he hid the other bottle.
The main issue was that sorghum liquor had a particularly strong lingering effect.
You wouldn't feel it as you drank, but once it hit, it was overwhelming.
After washing his face with cold water, Bai Zhizhan felt much more awake.
