I happily tilted my head back and drank a glass of wine. Just then, a very familiar figure entered my field of vision.

I thought I was seeing things, but when I looked closer, it really was Fu Yanshen.

Why is he here?

However, he arrived at just the right time.

I deliberately lost the game, and amidst the cheers, I stood up.

"Miss, birthday girl, truth or dare, choose!" Luo Luo called out.

"Truth or dare!" I deliberately raised my voice.

Then, my gaze fell on the face of the gentle and refined male god across from me.

"When I was in high school, I had a crush on... Sinan!"

I said this on purpose for Fu Yanshen to hear. Doesn't he see me as a substitute? I want him to misunderstand that in my eyes, he's just a substitute for Song Sinan!

Song Sinan looked up at me, a faint smile playing on his lips, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Was he feeling embarrassed?

Indeed, I offended him. I will talk to him about it privately later.

"How come I didn't know you had a crush on Brother Nan? You're lying, aren't you? With your personality, wouldn't you have confessed?" Ji Yan asked in a low voice.

"Because Sinan is too outstanding, and I'm just a good-for-nothing who doesn't do well in school and has no special talents... I feel unworthy of him. The girls I used to date were all about the same level as me, and even my marriage was... a substitute for Sinan!" I deliberately raised my voice for the last few words.

My words shocked both Luo Luo and Ji Yan.

Their eyes were all fixed on the tall, upright figure that emerged from the shadows.

I'm sure he heard it.

I proudly straightened my back, looked at him, and brazenly smiled.
