Chapter 2: A Chance Encounter at the Bar

How much do you love someone to be indifferent to your own parents, but all your senses are awakened when you hear that person's voice? Feeling Xue Jingrong's excitement, Jingrong sighed slightly. How stupid must you be to love someone so wholeheartedly who doesn't care about you at all.

Jingrong suddenly felt that Xue Jingrong was a pitiful woman, but when she thought about what she was going to do, she put away her sympathy. There must be something hateful about pitiful people. This sentence is indeed an eternal truth.

It was quite dramatic that his girlfriend, whom he hadn't seen or had any other contact with for several days, actually ran into him in a bar. What was even more dramatic was that his girlfriend was holding a handsome boy in her arms at that time - G-Dragon just smiled and went over to say hello with his teammates, just like meeting a friend who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Xue Jingrong had calmed down, and seemed to have some evasive attitude. Her consciousness fell into silence again. Jingrong remained silent during this period until she could no longer feel any emotional ups and downs. Then she put her emotions in order and smiled indifferently at Quan Zhilong: "What a coincidence."

"Our president organized a gathering here. Jingrong, why are you here too?"

Jing Rong answered nonchalantly, "I just got out of the hospital, and everyone is having a party here to celebrate my survival."

G-Dragon seemed to be choking. He was right. No matter how much he didn't care, his girlfriend was so sick she had to be hospitalized, and as a boyfriend, he only found out afterward. It would be hard to say he didn't feel guilty. G-Dragon is a real showbiz talent, his acting is impeccable. His hesitation and silence made it easier to believe he was truly sorry than some men who just started to speak in sweet words. Of course, it's also possible that G-Dragon wasn't incapable of sweet talk, but simply felt it was unnecessary.

Jing Rong didn't say anything either. Firstly, there was nothing much to say, and secondly, she was always cold and taciturn in front of people she didn't know well.

In this situation, Seungri, who plays the role of atmosphere adjuster in Big Bang, stepped out to break the awkwardness. He patted G-Dragon on the shoulder and said, "Brother, why don't you introduce such a beautiful sister to us?"

Quan Zhilong smiled, walked to Jingrong and put his arm around her shoulders: "Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Xue Jingrong. Jingrong, these are my teammates."

In fact, this couple was as unfamiliar as strangers, and the other members of Big Bang gradually felt awkward. They greeted Jingrong stiffly and stopped talking.

Jingrong was not used to being touched by strangers. He broke away from Quan Zhilong's hand and walked to the front of the sun and held out his hand: "Hello, we meet again. I am Xue Jingrong. What is your name?"

Sun stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xue Jingrong. His brilliant smile seemed to dispel all the haze in people's hearts. He laughed heartily: "Since we know each other, there's no need to use honorifics. Just call me Sun."

Jing Rong withdrew his hand and bowed very formally to the sun: "Thank you very much for yesterday, Sun-kun!"

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor."

"No, Mr. Sun really helped me a lot. If possible, please let me do something to express my gratitude to you!" Jing Rong never owes favors to anyone. Yesterday, the Sun helped her so much. It would be fine if she couldn't find the benefactor, but now that the benefactor is right in front of her, she really can't feel at ease if she doesn't express her gratitude.

Taiyang was confused by Jingrong's serious and formal attitude. He had always been the ideal type for women, but this was the first time he was treated as a hero. He was speechless and had to look at his captain for help.

Ever since Jingrong walked towards the sun, G-Dragon has been paying attention to her every move. Although the two have been together for no more than two months and have not had many opportunities to be alone together, in fact, they have known each other for more than two years, and G-Dragon has a certain understanding of Xue Jingrong. Not to mention that every time Xue Jingrong sees him, she is either enthusiastic or cold and noble, and has never appeared with such a casual and cold attitude. This proud and willful woman probably treated a stranger so politely for the first time, although this stranger may have really helped her a lot.

How many days had they not seen each other? Five days or ten days? Quan Zhilong couldn't remember, but he was amused by Jingrong's contrast. Of course, it was just a fleeting thought. He didn't have the mood or the time to guess what a woman was thinking. If they were compatible, they would be together. If they were not, they would break up. It was such a simple thing, no need to worry about it.

Of course, the current priority is to rescue his teammates who are at a loss.

Quan Zhilong walked forward and hugged Jingrong's waist: "Jingrong, stop joking. Look how scared Yongpei is. You told me last month that you liked Yongpei's smile, but now you don't recognize him?"

A hint of surprise flashed through Jing Rong's eyes, so much so that he didn't notice the hand on his waist, but he quickly returned to normal and smiled naturally, "It's just a joke, Sun-kun, please don't mind." Fearing that his benefactor really minded, Jing Rong added, "But I am really grateful to Sun-kun, please let me do something for you!"

"What did Yongbae do to make you so grateful?"

"I accidentally lost my wallet while shopping. Luckily, Sun-kun found it. He contacted me through the business card in the wallet and returned the wallet to me."

After listening to Jingrong's words, Quan Zhilong looked at Taiyang with a smile: "Yongpei, you are honest and trustworthy. You are indeed worthy of gratitude!"

The atmosphere was finally a bit more lively. The other three members of Big Bang also came forward to tease Taeyang. Then Seungri put his arm around Taeyang's neck and smiled at Kyungyoung, saying, "Sister is our sister-in-law. If you really want to thank Taeyang, why don't you treat us all to a meal?"

Dacheng couldn't help but pat Shengli on the head: "Ms. Xue should thank Brother Taiyang, it's none of your business!"

Jing Rong nodded readily: "No problem, as long as you have time."

"As long as there's food, I'll make time even if I don't have time!" Seungri said in an exaggerated manner.

Jingrong lowered his head and smiled.

Quan Zhilong raised his wrist to check the time, then let go of Jingrong's hand and said, "Jingrong, I'm going to the box to say hello to the president and the others first. I'll come to accompany you later. You wait here for me."

"No need, we'll go home after we're done." Jing Rong smiled politely, "Have fun."

Quan Zhilong smiled, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then rubbed the top of her head. His attitude was as matter-of-fact as if they were an ordinary couple in love: "I'm going to go first, wait for me to come back."

Looking at the backs of Big Bang as they left, Jing Rong frowned unconsciously, feeling a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't figure out what the problem was for a moment. It wasn't until the boy who had just bumped into her arms called her timidly from behind that she realized something was wrong - from beginning to end, G-Dragon didn't even glance at the little boy who had a close relationship with his "girlfriend"!

This is unscientific! Jing Rong raised the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether Quan Zhilong was too generous or simply did not care at all.

Jingrong sat back in her previous seat, and the boy followed her down, persistently chatting her up: "Nuna, was that G-Dragon just now? Is he really your boyfriend?"

"Are you also a fan?"

The boy nodded shyly, and immediately explained: "Actually, I'm not really a fan of celebrities, it's just that G-Dragon is so outstanding."

Jing Rong smiled and asked, "You're still in high school, right? Is it really okay to come to the bar?"

"No, I'm already a freshman!" The boy puffed out his chest, not realizing that Jingrong had already led the topic to another corner.

Jing Rong smiled again: "Okay, freshman little brother, do you want to drink?"

"I have a name, Noona!" The boy bowed to her, "Please call me Li Sixian!"

"What a nice name, Brother Sixian!" Jing Rong couldn't help but tease the innocent boy. Seeing his earlobes turn pink, he even reached out and pinched his cheeks. "So cute."

"Nuna!" Li Sixian tilted his head back, trying to avoid the hand that was dominating his face. "I don't even know Nuna's name!"

Still with a teasing smile, "Brother Sixian, just call me Nuna."

"Oh, has our Miss Xue changed her taste?" A sexy woman with big wavy golden hair walked up to Jing Rong and sat down opposite her. She flirted with Li Sixian and immediately felt better when she saw his face flush. "When did you start liking this kind of young boy? He's quite interesting!"

While alone in the hospital, Jingrong took the trouble to get to know the original owner's friends. She had almost met all the others who were even slightly close to Xue Jingrong, leaving only this strange but surprisingly familiar woman in front of her. She thought it was Jin Lina, who was said to be studying in the United States. Thinking of this, Jingrong smiled and said, "When are you going back to China? Are you willing to leave your foreign handsome men?"

"I heard that some idiot took sleeping pills as cold medicine. I was so surprised that I couldn't help but fly back to see the expert. I have to say, Xue Jingrong, it's really not easy for you to live to the age of 24!"

The smile on Jing Rong's face froze for a second as he was being watched. Suddenly, he said coldly, "Since you're here, you can get out of here."

Jin Lina didn't mind Jing Rong's attitude at all. She even continued to drink leisurely and admired Jing Rong's gloomy face - this was how the two of them had always gotten along.
