Backstreet, bar.

The lights were bright, the dance floor was noisy and bustling.

When Qin Wan and Lu Yao arrived at the private room, Qin Luo and his group were already drinking and having fun.

Upon seeing Qin Wan's appearance, Qin Luo's eyes suddenly lit up.

But the next second, when his gaze fell on the familiar figure beside Qin Wan, a trace of irritation and frustration immediately appeared in his eyes.

It's that persistent ghost, Lu Yao, again.

"Sister, why did you bring him?" Qin Luo stepped forward to greet Qin Wan, looking at Lu Yao with a displeased expression.

"Qin Luo, watch your attitude." Qin Wan glared at Qin Luo.

"Knowing it's your birthday today, Lu Yao came here especially to celebrate with you, and he even brought you a gift."

Qin Luo pursed his lips. Although he really wanted to send Lu Yao away, he held back because Qin Wan was there.

"Sis, let's hurry over there, my classmates have been waiting for you for ages."

As she spoke, Qin Luo excitedly pulled Qin Wan towards the group of boys.

Lu Yao's eyes darkened, and a glint of light flashed across them.

"Sis, let me introduce you. This is my best buddy, Guo Kai."

"It's quite a coincidence, Guo Kai is also nineteen years old this year, born in the same month and year as Lu Yao." As he spoke, Qin Luo didn't forget to look at Lu Yao provocatively.

"Hello, Sister Qin, I'm Guo Kai. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Guo Kai's words immediately darkened Lu Yao's eyes, and he turned his unfriendly gaze in their direction.

Sister Qin...

Does he even deserve it?

"Hello." Qin Wan nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Qin Luo and Guo Kai didn't find her cold, after all, Qin Wan's reputation as an arrogant young lady had already spread throughout Faston Business School.

Not to mention, everyone who came today is on good terms with Qin Luo.

Qin Luo had been complaining to them a lot these days, saying that his sister ignored him and favored a little green tea bitch.

They were so cold to their own younger brother, so it was already a great honor for them to receive a response from Qin Wan.

"Sister, let me introduce you again. This is Zhou Yi. He has been to our house before, so you have met him."

"Long time no see." Qin Wan nodded slightly.

Hello, Sister Qin.

Hehe, it's Sister Qin again.

"And this is Liao Zhijie. He's the youngest in our group, just turned eighteen this year, exactly three years younger than you, sister."

Three years old...

Does being three years older than your partner mean you'll have a golden brick in your life?

Is this what Qin Luo was trying to imply?

Oh!

"Sister Qin is so pretty." Liao Zhijie smiled sweetly, her two little tiger teeth flashing, making her look very endearing.

For this reason, Qin Wan's gaze lingered on his face for a fleeting, almost imperceptible second...

Unfortunately, this momentary pause was caught by someone.

I like younger people...

I still prefer this so-called sweet, adorable puppy...

Lu Yao stood in the corner, watching without blinking as Qin Luo took Qin Wan to meet one "good younger brother" after another.

With so many younger brothers, and so many different types, she must be overwhelmed...

Well-behaved, sunny, refined, introverted and shy, lively and cheerful, and even fit, athletic men...

To win Qin Wan's favor and to oppose him, Qin Luo really went to great lengths and racked his brains...

As he pondered this, Lu Yao couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Sister Qin, drinking alcohol is not suitable for girls. This is juice I poured for you."

"Sister Qin, I heard from Qin Luo that you like strawberries, so I bought these specially. They were just picked from the strawberry field before I came, so I guarantee they are fresh, sweet and fragrant."

"Sister Qin, nice to meet you. This is a small gift I brought for you. I hope you like it."

As soon as Qin Wan sat down, several boys, following Qin Luo's signal, swarmed towards her.

Each one of them displayed their unique skills, all in an effort to win a single glance, a smile, or a response from Qin Wan...

"Sister Qin..."

"Sister Qin..."

"Sister Qin..."

Sister Qin...

Lu Yao parted his thin lips slightly, silently uttering the affectionate nickname he had called out countless times.

He once thought he was the only one who called her that...

Lu Yao lowered his eyes to conceal the turbulent emotions within them, and the aura around him grew increasingly oppressive...

In the dimly lit corner of the private room, Lu Yao's already fair complexion appeared even paler than before...

Qin Wan was surrounded by these young people and couldn't get away for a while.

Of course, she didn't really want to get away.

She is waiting...

Waiting for an opportunity to provoke Lu Yao.

Only in this way will he take the initiative to break through that barrier.

Only in this way will his stagnant popularity begin to soar.

This is why, even though he knew Qin Luo had ulterior motives, he still brought Lu Yao to the birthday party.

She ignored him for a minute...

Three minutes have passed...

Ten minutes have passed...

She drank the juice that Liao Zhijie handed her, the one with two sweet little tiger teeth when he smiled.

She accepted the gift Guo Kai gave her upon meeting him.

She ate the strawberries that Zhou Yi had specially bought for her.

Ha ha……

It turns out he wasn't irreplaceable.

Yes, she's so kind, how could she bear to refuse these adorable, sweet, and dear little brothers of hers...

[Lu Yao's favorability decreased by 10, current favorability is 71.]

[Lu Yao's favorability increased by 20, current favorability is 91.]

[Lu Yao's favorability decreased by 10, current favorability is 81.]

In just a few breaths and three brief notification sounds indicating improved favorability, Qin Wan was clearly witnessing the incredibly complex inner monologue Lu Yao was going through.

The chilled liquor sipped down one glass after another...

The madness in his eyes grew even stronger.

Mo Seyou stared intently at Qin Wan and the boys, watching their every word and action...

More and more empty wine bottles piled up in front of him...

He didn't know when it started, but his vision began to blur, yet his mind remained unusually clear, extremely clear!

"Bang!"

"Clang..."

Everyone was chatting happily when suddenly a loud noise came.

Turning around, I realized that Lu Yao had smashed the wine bottle...

His handsome face was flushed, and he was holding a freshly opened bottle of red wine. His tall figure swayed as he walked towards them.

"Is he... drunk?" Qin Luo was stunned for a moment.

"How could he not get drunk? Look at the pile of empty bottles in front of him, he's downed at least two cases of liquor..." As he spoke, Guo Kai's gaze fell on Lu Yao's flushed handsome face.

"I don't know how his stomach can hold so much wine..." Qin Luo exclaimed in amazement.

During the conversation, Lu Yao walked up to Liao Zhijie.

Then……

In full view of everyone, he snatched the wine glass from Liao Zhijie's hand and, without saying a word, poured it into his own chest...

The next second, he forcefully shoved the empty wine glass back into Liao Zhijie's hand, turned to look at Qin Wan, his eyes reddening and his lips pouting.

"Sister Qin, he bullied me, he splashed red wine on me..."

Qin Wan: "..."

Qin Luo: "..." Damn it!

Liao Zhijie: "..." He was dumbfounded.

Guo Kai: "..." Speechless.

Zhou Yi: "..." He was completely dumbfounded.

The other onlookers: "..." Exciting!!!
