Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rong Qi raised her gaze and said, “Sure, no problem. Are you okay now, Young Master Lu? Have you calmed down?”
“No,” Lu Chengzhou said and stood up. “I’m going to be angry about this for a long time. Even though you’re Rong Qi, you could have told me. I’m not a big mouth, and I wouldn’t reveal your secret! Hmph, you kept it from me; you didn’t treat me like a friend. 1 need to continue observing you for a while before deciding whether to forgive you!”
With that, Lu Chengzhou ran out in a hurry, afraid that Rong Qi might attack him. However, Rong Qi had no intention of doing so.
Lu Chengzhou was Rong Qi’s only friend when she was in Merica. Although they were online friends at the time, he was one of the few people who genuinely had good intentions toward her. Based on that alone, Rong Qi had cemented their friendship.
After Lu Chengzhou left, Rong Qi returned to the cla.s.sroom and resumed her cla.s.s.
Meanwhile, Lu Chengzhou, who had just run out of the instructor’s dormitory, suddenly stopped at a corner. The playful expression had long faded from his face, leaving only a look of sadness. He chuckled self-deprecatingly and took out his phone, looking at the person he had pinned at the top, with the nickname “Little Qiqi” still in the remark field.
Lu Chengzhou clicked on Rong Qi’s profile picture, found the remark, and hesitated and agonized over it with his finger on the screen. He choked back a sob and thought, ‘Why was fate so unfair to me? I had finally taken a liking to a girl, and it turned out she was my cousin-in-law! I’d rather the radiant, imperfectly beautiful red-dressed G.o.ddess from the Xihuang Bar I had met earlier be the one, not my cousin-in-law!’
Earlier, Lu Chengzhou had pretended to be nonchalant so as not to burden Rong Qi with guilt. But, now that he was alone, he felt really miserable. He took a deep breath, enduring the pain, and changed the “Little Qiqi” in the remark field to “Cousin-in-law” and then removed the pin.
Lu Chengzhou believed in the saying, ‘A man should never touch his friend’s woman.’
Even though Lu Chengzhou genuinely liked Rong Qi, he had his own principles and boundaries.
“This is really sad! I’ve been dumped! Boohoo!” Lu Chengzhou cried. After changing the remark, he put his phone back in his pocket and ran out of the campus.
Xu Yi came out from the shadows, watching the departing figure, and touched his own nose. He thought, ‘Can’t he return my phone to me…’
Xu Yi had just added several cutie pies who wanted their fortunes told, and he was waiting to do some business…
In a bar somewhere in the capital, Lu Chengzhou casually found a seat. He didn’t book a private room and just ordered several bottles of strong liquor. He opened the caps and poured them into his stomach. Only the fiery sensation seemed to help him forget his inner turmoil.
After a few bottles, Lu Chengzhou’s face had turned red. He sat silently in his seat, hugging the bottle and staring into the distance with lifeless eyes.
Not far away, several women exchanged glances and decided to approach Lu Chengzhou.
“Hey handsome, drinking alone in sorrow? Have you encountered some troubles? Why don’t you tell us about it?” one of the women asked.
A few women surrounded Lu Chengzhou, noticing his expensive wrist.w.a.tch and his luxurious suit, their eyes gleaming with curiosity.
Lu Chengzhou shifted his vacant gaze away and glanced at them. He said, “You’re not the person I’m looking for. Leave me alone!”
However, instead of leaving, those women got even closer. Their bodies were almost pressed against Lu Chengzhou’s, and they reached out to touch him. One of the women said, “Handsome, drinking alone can lead to getting drunk easily. How about we keep you company? Or we could book a room and chat there?”
As the woman spoke, she was about to touch Lu Chengzhou.
“Get lost!” Lu Chengzhou shouted and pushed them away. But due to his intoxication, he had much less strength, and he couldn’t push them away effectively..
