Chapter 66
While thinking this, Pei Youchuan's gaze was as deep as the endless night sky, enveloping the oblivious Qiao Chuchu within it.
He completely ignored Song Mingzhen and the others.
Song Mingzhen's girlfriend activated her gossip radar and whispered, "Is he the third young master of the Pei family?"
Song Mingzhen sighed, "Yes, he's now the CEO of that popular mobile game company. Rich, capable, and handsome—it's hard not to admire him."
His girlfriend's eyes lit up with excitement as she followed Pei Youchuan's gaze toward Qiao Chuchu, "Then, is this girl his…"
"The eighth adopted sister of the Pei family," Song Mingzhen glanced at Qiao Chuchu, "Don't look at her. She seems to have some issues, likes playing incest games, and is a bit crazy."
"Ah?" His girlfriend was surprised, "She doesn't look like it."
She darted her sly gaze back and forth between the atmosphere surrounding Pei Youchuan and Qiao Chuchu.
Pei Youchuan kept his eyes fixed on Qiao Chuchu.
Qiao Chuchu, if she turned her head, could meet his deep gaze.
But she didn't.
She looked at flowers, water, boats, her phone—anything but the person beside her.
His girlfriend's lips curled into a smirk, her tone becoming suggestive, "Aren't they both into each other?"
Song Mingzhen: "…Of course not. Pei Youchuan is a firm believer in lifelong bachelorhood."
His girlfriend became even more excited, "So, is he staying chaste?!"
Her voice was so loud that it startled both Qiao Chuchu and Pei Youchuan, causing them to look at her.
Song Mingzhen was shocked and quickly covered his girlfriend's mouth, "I told you to stop reading those Hai Tang novels! Let's go!"
His girlfriend's eyes sparkled as she looked at Qiao Chuchu, but she was forcefully dragged away.
Qiao Chuchu watched the couple leave, then suddenly noticed the intense gaze beside her.
She turned her head and met Pei Youchuan's cold, piercing eyes.
Qiao Chuchu shivered, "What are you staring at?"
Pei Youchuan's face was expressionless, "What if I am?"
Qiao Chuchu was momentarily speechless, then remembered she couldn't beat him, so she just gave up.
【What if I am? What if I am? Congratulations, you've provoked the most cotton-soft person in the world! Provoking me is like not provoking at all!】
Pei Youchuan paused, then smiled, "You don't need to wait for me tonight if we're drinking."
She rolled her eyes, "Mmm."
【Who's waiting for you? I'm not that idle. Not only am I not waiting, I'll take two sleeping pills and sleep straight through. Even if you're dancing on my grave, I won't care.】
Pei Youchuan: "?"
He was already in a bad mood, and hearing this made him even more irritated. The gloomy feelings lingered in his chest, refusing to dissipate.
Before long, night fell.
The cruise ship sailed on the sea, and Pei Youchuan sat inside the KTV room, turning his emotions into alcohol, drinking bottle after bottle with a group of men.
Pei Youchuan raised his glass, swaying, "Cheers!!"
Song Mingzhen was so drunk his tongue was slurring as he grabbed Pei Youchuan's hand, puzzled, "I'm just curious, why are you still single? So many girls like you, why don't you take a look?"
Song Mingzhen pointed to the Little Sister singing in a short skirt, "Don't you like her?!"
Pei Youchuan didn't even lift his head, "No."
Song Mingzhen was speechless, "You haven't even looked, how do you know you don't like her? Sing a love song with her, and you'll like her, trust me!"
Pei Youchuan was impatient, "Are you a pimp or something? Does not fucking dating mean you'll die?"
Song Mingzhen was speechless, forcing Pei Youchuan's face to look at the Little Sister, "Look closely. I don't believe you're indifferent!"
The Little Sister held the microphone, looking at them, shyly smiling.
Song Mingzhen shouted, "Is she pretty?!"
Pei Youchuan's eyes were glazed.
Song Mingzhen shouted again, "Are you still indifferent?!"
Pei Youchuan stared straight into the Little Sister's eyes and shook his head, "No."
His words were drowned out by the background music: "Not everything can be held in your hands. Some things are like ice, they melt the moment you touch them."
Song Mingzhen gestured to the Little Sister.
The Little Sister quickly ran over, happily looking at Pei Youchuan.
Pei Youchuan suddenly stood up, towering like a mountain in front of the Little Sister.
The Little Sister, at a loss, held the microphone.
Pei Youchuan reached out his hand.
The Little Sister blushed with anticipation.
Pei Youchuan snatched the microphone from her hand and held it to his mouth!
"Give me a song by Phoenix Legend, 'All You Need is Love'!"
Little Sister: "……"
Song Mingzhen: "……"
Others: "……"
Song Mingzhen quickly reacted, "Alright, it's perfect for a duet. Let the Little Sister sing with you."
Pei Youchuan swayed onto the stage, "No need!"
He pointed at himself, "I can sing the female part in a falsetto!"
Song Mingzhen: "……"
Little Sister: "……"
Others: "……"
Not long after, Qiao Chuchu, focused on drawing in her room, received a call from the hotel front desk.
It wasn't an employee but Song Mingzhen's girlfriend.
After introducing herself, she apologized, "Miss Qiao, did I disturb your rest?"
Qiao Chuchu shook her head, "No, what's the matter?"
The voice on the other end was embarrassed, "Well, your brother has gotten everyone drunk and won't let anyone leave. He's even forcing my boyfriend to sing old love songs with him."
Qiao Chuchu's mouth twitched, "Singing love songs?"
His girlfriend sighed, "Yes, my boyfriend is already on the floor, and since no one is singing with him, he's singing alone. He says he can sing the female part in a falsetto."
Qiao Chuchu: "……"
"So, can you come and help? We can't persuade him at all."
Qiao Chuchu was speechless but agreed, "Okay."
She quickly headed to the KTV.
Isn't Pei Youchuan only supposed to drink when he's unhappy? Today, they're on a luxury cruise, so why would he be unhappy?
She arrived at the karaoke room, where a group of girlfriends were anxiously waiting outside, ready to take their boyfriends home. Seeing her, they all brightened up, "Miss Qiao, you're finally here!"
Qiao Chuchu: "……"
She felt like the dormitory auntie (dormitory manager) holding the keys, waiting to let the college students in.
She forced herself to approach the door, ready to push it open.
Song Mingzhen's girlfriend handed her a microphone, "Please buy us some time. We'll take our boyfriends away."
Qiao Chuchu: "……Can't we reason with Pei Youchuan?"
The girlfriend's eyes widened in shock, "Do you reason with a drunk person?"
Qiao Chuchu: "……No."
She pushed the door open.
Pei Youchuan, unaware of her arrival, was still choosing songs, his back to her, "I want to sing 'Dangerous but Alluring.'"
Song Mingzhen was in a terrible state, lying on the ground, mumbling, "I don't know if it's alluring, but I definitely feel dangerous right now."
Pei Youchuan didn't care, singing while standing on the stage, his voice breaking as he belted out, "Why is the most alluring the most dangerous, why does love make people incomplete~~"
Qiao Chuchu stood behind him with the microphone, her expression as if she had eaten excrement, signaling the girls to quickly take their boyfriends away.0
Pei Youchuan, when drunk, loved to act out and was stubborn, as stubborn as ten donkeys!0
Let's get this over with quickly.
