In BLUE bar, dazzling lights, crystal-clear bar counter, and elegant tall glasses all exude understated luxury. Glasses flying through the air in the adept hands of the bartender dazzle the onlookers.
At the bar, Tong Xi holds a glass filled with amber liquid, drinking intently without blinking.
"Another one!" Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
An Xiaoyu reaches out to stop her and snatches the glass.
"Tong Xi, enough, stop drinking."
This girl sure can pretend! Look at her, heartbroken again!
How many times has she been heartbroken? Oh no, more precisely, it should be dozens of times!
The men Tong Xi dates never last more than a week! Yet, every time it’s her who dumps them first, then she feels sorry for herself.
An Xiaoyu really can’t understand, what exactly are Tong Xi’s standards for choosing boyfriends? Why hasn’t she found someone compatible after all these years? However, matters of the heart are truly hard to predict.
"Xiaoyu, actually my standards aren’t high, but why can’t I find my true love?"
Tong Xi appears somewhat bleary-eyed.
"You will find the one. What’s meant to be yours won’t escape. Tong Xi, let’s go, we should head home!"
"I don’t want to go home, I want to sleep with you tonight!"
"Alright, alright, come to my place!"
Tong Xi hugs An Xiaoyu’s shoulder tightly.
"You’re always the best to me, maybe I should just marry you!"
An Xiaoyu can’t help but laugh, it seems she’s really drunk.
Supporting Tong Xi, they leave the bar but unexpectedly see a tall and familiar figure.
Qin Zixiao... he is here too.
The entrance is not that crowded, so... An Xiaoyu can’t just ignore him.
But, ever since that day Li Xin came with the invitation, she hasn’t contacted Qin Zixiao, and an inexplicable estrangement has grown between them.
Behind Qin Zixiao are neon lights, casting a mysterious hue over him.
Clearly, Qin Zixiao saw An Xiaoyu and the staggering Tong Xi, his handsome features immediately furrowed.
"Xiaoyu, what are you guys doing here?"
"Nothing much, just helping Tong Xi unwind!"
"Are you... heading home?"
"No need, Tong Xi has a car, I’ll just drive her home later."
Despite An Xiaoyu’s faint smile, their conversation was calm and harmonious, yet an invisible chasm had fully ripped open beneath their feet.
"Xiaoyu, do you really have to be so formal with me?"
Qin Zixiao’s voice is slightly husky and carries a hint of pain, his eyes also seem to be veiled with thick fog.
"Well then, help me get Tong Xi to the car! She’s so drunk she can’t walk. We came in that red smart car over there!"
She pointed as she spoke.
Qin Zixiao frowned but still lifted Tong Xi and headed towards the car.
An Xiaoyu followed closely behind and suddenly realized her phone was missing...
"Zixiao brother, keep an eye on Tong Xi for me. I need to go back and retrieve something, I’ll be right back."
"I think I left my phone on the bar!"
An Xiaoyu turned and headed back into the bar.
Just as she entered, a man walked towards her blocking her path and bluntly said, "Beautiful girl, are you free tonight? How about we become friends?"
An Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes.
Her lips curved up, but her face remained smile-less as she coldly said:
