"The smell is so strong..." Liang Zhirou leaned closer to him and took a sniff, then frowned slightly as she spoke.

He smells bad; we need to make him take a shower before he goes to bed.

"It wasn't that good to begin with."

"Can I have a drink?" she whispered.

Chen Lu was taken aback. "Are you sure? Girls shouldn't drink alcohol when they're out."

How could they drink it?

"Someone will take them back later." Chen Lu reached out and poked the girl's cheek. "Besides, you're a good girl, you can't drink alcohol."

"We're both bad kids."

Chen Lu couldn't understand why this silly girl wanted to drink. Seeing that she insisted, he thought about it and realized that his alcohol tolerance wasn't a bad thing, so he simply poured Liang Zhirou a glass.

He said seriously, "Just think of it as a test of your drinking capacity. We've agreed that you can't drink a drop when I'm not around, no, even when I am, you can't. In short, we're not drinking this stuff."

I don't know if it's because of thin skin or alcohol intolerance, but this silly guy blushes all the time, and he blushes even after drinking a few sips of alcohol.

Before Liang Zhirou had even drunk her fourth cup, Chen Lu realized something was wrong.

This guy's alcohol tolerance seems to be outrageously low.

A moment later.

"Stop shaking me." Liang Zhirou suddenly leaned in and cupped his cheeks, looking at him with hazy eyes. "You keep shaking me, it's making me dizzy..."

"Be good!" the girl said, puffing out her cheeks as if she were disciplining a child.

Chen Lu blinked in confusion, “...I haven’t moved at all right now.”

......

As Jiang Chao and the designated driver drove all the girls home one by one, the party came to a complete end.

The living room is decorated very nicely.

"I feel like I need to exercise more, maybe do some yoga in my spare time. It's one thing to not be as pretty as Liang Zhirou, but my figure isn't as good either..."

Liu Yan pulled down the hem of her sweater a couple of times, turned around in front of the full-length mirror, and said dejectedly.

She reached out and touched her waist again.

It made me even sadder.

She was quite confident in her figure until she saw Liang Zhirou take off her coat at the karaoke bar, revealing a black turtleneck sweater...

Those legs, that waist, and...

Sigh, comparing yourself to others is just plain frustrating.

Jiang Chao, who was sitting on the sofa engrossed in his research, chuckled. "Alright, you're good-looking enough already, stop curling your hair. Instead of improving yourself, why don't you belittle others? Why don't you compare yourself to those who are inferior to you?"

He was certain that if he showed even the slightest sign of agreement or perfunctory attitude, he would be grabbed by this woman like a piglet and thrown out the window the next second.

Women are such terrifying creatures.

"Your answer sounds awkward no matter how I look at it. Oh well, I'll give you a passing grade." Liu Yan suddenly curled the corners of her lips.

Although she is young, she is still much older than Lin Miaomiao.

“Actually, I can help you.” Jiang Chao could tell what she was thinking at a glance.

"Just say you don't want your claws anymore."

Seeing Jiang Chao busy with the blue bubble gum wrapper, she asked with a look of disgust, "What are you doing?"

"I want to test if you can really not tell if you poke a few holes in this thing."

As Jiang Chao spoke, he took a safety pin and poked a few holes in the unopened bubble gum, grinning mischievously, "Haven't you heard those jokes? Years ago, some unscrupulous people would open the Durex condoms in hotel rooms, poke a few holes in them, and then repackage them. I want to see if it's really impossible to tell."

"Neuropathy."

Liu Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and then turned off the living room lights, saying, "I feel disgusted just thinking about how you used it with other girls before, let's break up!"

Seeing the door close immediately, Jiang Chao quickly grabbed a handful of chewing gum in the dark, got up, and followed.

"Liu Yan! If you don't want me to touch you, can you come up with another excuse? Aren't you tired of pretending to be angry every time?!"

On the deserted Binjiang Road, Li Sinian adjusted his glasses and forced a somewhat stiff smile at the short-haired girl in front of him.

"Um, Ruoxi, why did you suddenly think of asking me to come out to see a movie?" he asked tentatively in a low voice.

The girl silently put the movie ticket back into her bag, and said without looking up, "You called me crazy that day, shouldn't you apologize?"

"I thought you would ask me for Chen Lu's contact information."

Li Sinian gave a wry smile. Both Chen Lu and Jiang Chao had said that Qin Wenxi probably just wanted to use him to contact Chen Lu.

He refused to believe it at the time, but now the more he recalls it, the more ridiculous it seems.

“Maybe it’s because I’m just an ordinary person.” The girl crossed her arms behind her back and walked a few steps on the curb like walking on a tightrope. Looking at the taxi that had stopped in front of her, she turned around and waved to him gently.

"I have to go back now, my mom won't let me stay too late."

"Okay, goodbye."

Li Sinian stood by the roadside, watching the taxi's taillights gradually disappear into the distance, eventually transforming into one of the countless stars in the sky above.

In the somewhat dilapidated stairwell, Chen Lu was supporting Liang Zhirou with one hand, fumbling for the key to the apartment door in his pocket.

The long-haired girl looked at him with dreamy eyes, her beautiful eyes brimming with undisguised love.
