Chapter 71 New Love
-
Chen Jiabai hadn't gone out for drinks with his buddies for quite a while; it had been over a month. On Saturday, Ye Qingchi called him out to hang out, saying, "Are you dating someone again? You really prioritize your girlfriend over your friends. You didn't even bring her over to meet us. I was worried sick here, thinking you were heartbroken and hadn't gotten over the hurt Wen Yining caused you."
Chen Jiabai patted Xia Wei, who was naked in his arms, and said, "I have to go out for a bit. Be good, get up."
Xia Wei wrapped her arms around his waist and said in a coquettish tone, "No, I won't get up. Take me there. Didn't your buddy say he wants to see me?"
Chen Jiabai pulled her hand away, picked up the short-sleeved shirt from the ground and started putting it on, scenes from the ward flashing through his mind...
Richard the Black Knight watch… a restrained, ambiguous moan…
It's uncertain whether Wen Yining has gotten involved with someone else, and it's also impossible to confirm whether that person is Shen Yueze.
He didn't want to doubt his good brother... Shen Yueze hadn't contacted him recently, and he hadn't seen the two of them in contact.
Xia Wei sat naked on the edge of the bed, dissatisfied with his attitude, and frowned as she asked, "Can't you still forget Wen Yining? She wasn't your first love."
It's said that boys can't forget their first love. Xia Wei had seen their conversations on her phone. Chen Jiabai didn't have the habit of deleting messages; he could see every single word of their flirting and flirting.
I knew he had a past before we got together, but for some reason, I still couldn't help feeling jealous when I saw those things.
Chen Jiabai's attitude turned colder. He was wearing casual pants with a drawstring. "These days, everyone has a past. You knew I had an ex-girlfriend before we got together."
Xia Wei was sullen the whole way and chose a very revealing dress.
Upon entering the private room, Ye Qingchi saw some familiar faces. Busy pouring drinks for everyone, she also recognized the girl. After thinking for a moment, she said in surprise, "Isn't this Youyou from the pool party? When did you two get together?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xia Wei's face as she smiled and greeted them, "Actually, we didn't keep in touch for a long time."
Chen Jiabai put his arm around Xia Wei and sat down.
Shen Yueze glanced over indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the two of them before lingering on the ambiguous marks on Xia Wei's neck. Things were progressing faster than he had expected; they had already slept together.
Chen Jiabai didn't seem that reluctant to part with her, but he did visit her in the hospital a while ago. I wonder if Xia Wei knows about it.
Li Xiayi noticed that he seemed lost in thought while staring at Xia Wei, and couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong? Do you know her too?"
He then took a few more glances at her. The girl had a good figure and a pretty face, which should be his type. But he couldn't possibly have fallen for Chen Jiabai's girlfriend again, could he...?
Xia Wei didn't show anything unusual. She didn't even exchange glances with Shen Yueze. She was reserved and nervous, silently drinking her cocktail. She chuckled when she heard something funny. She didn't talk much and didn't seem like the kind of person who would act pretentious.
Chen Jiabai took out a cigarette case from his pocket and handed one to Shen Yueze. His gaze subconsciously swept over Shen Yueze's wrist; he was wearing a 600,000 yuan watch today.
"You haven't been to Hangzhou yet."
"Um."
"Your dad must be pretty worried."
Shen Yueze said lazily, "Who cares?"
Ye Qingchi noticed their conversation and his expression became somewhat subtle. He sensed that something was off, but he didn't say anything and continued playing his game with his girlfriend in his arms.
Xie Yuchen laughed heartily, having drunk quite a bit of alcohol. With her arm draped over Chen Jiabai's shoulder, she said flatteringly, "Xia Wei is much prettier than Wen Yining, really. I think Wen Yining is pretentious, immature, and always threatens to break up. She's too difficult to please. Who could stand her?"
Chen Jiabai didn't speak, and Xia Wei turned to look at him, but didn't speak either.
"Besides, you've spent a lot of money on her, haven't you? When she looks for another boyfriend, she definitely won't find one as good as you. Breaking up is actually a good thing. It's a good thing she broke up with you, otherwise you wouldn't have met Xia Wei, right?"
Chen Jiabai smiled and unconsciously looked over at Shen Yueze. Shen Yueze was playing dice, with his legs crossed, looking lazy and relaxed. A scantily clad beauty was sitting next to him, but he seemed uninterested and didn't interrupt their conversation. It was unclear whether he hadn't heard them or what, as his attention was elsewhere.
The girl's name is Li Jiahe. She is from the same school as Ye Qingchi and Shen Yueze. Ye Qingchi was brought back by Ye Qingchi.
Seeing that Shen Yueze didn't pay much attention to her, Li Jiahe took the initiative to ask him out several times at school, and even asked her friends for advice on how to get a guy like Shen Yueze to take the initiative.
Finally realizing there was no other way, she had to take the initiative herself. But even after starting several conversations that night, Shen Yueze wouldn't respond. He seemed heartbroken, with a sense of dejection and gloom, and he was completely indifferent.
Li Jiahe had drunk some wine, and her stomach was burning and her heart was also burning. She couldn't sit still and wanted to kiss and hug him right now. She kept pressing herself against him, but he didn't react and continued to roll the dice without making a sound.
Ye Qingchi couldn't stand it anymore. She felt there was something fishy going on, and it was probably related to Wen Yining. But she hadn't seen her for a long time, so she guessed that they should have broken up by now.
He teased, "What are you doing? Heartbroken?"
Xie Yuchen overheard this and was quite puzzled: "What do you mean by 'love'? When did you start dating?"
Ye Qingchi didn't explain, but deliberately shoved Li Jiahe hard. The two were already sitting close, and Li Jiahe was pushed directly into Shen Yueze's arms. He raised his hand to block her, but Li Jiahe's hand landed on his leg. Her heart raced, and she gasped, "Ah..."
I felt a little embarrassed, but I couldn't help feeling secretly pleased.
Ye Qingchi said, "Don't be so gloomy. What are you thinking about? Li Jiahe is prettier than that other girl. Lots of people in our school are pursuing her."
Li Jiahe said modestly, "Not too much, really."
"Not many yet. I remember you were the most beautiful girl in your department or the most beautiful girl in the school. Wow, you could have debuted as a star."
This girl is quite generous. In order to get to know Shen Yueze and try to get information out of him, she even gave him a bottle of perfume. This time, she even bought Shen Yueze a limited edition jersey.
Before coming,
Li Jiahe asked Ye Qingchi, "I feel like he's never dated any girls at school. I heard his ex-girlfriend was someone he met in high school. She was incredibly beautiful, a real beauty, and from Fudan University. He's single now, is it because he wants to get back together with her?"
Ye Qingchi: "Is he the kind of person who gets troubled by love? No, he's just a rich young master who indulges in a life of pleasure and debauchery, and he's very casual about relationships."
Otherwise, how could she have gotten involved with Wen Yining? She only lasted a few days before she was done with him.
Li Jiahe was skeptical. "Is he so casual? Then why didn't any of the girls who pursued him succeed? He must have high standards and high expectations, right?"
"Just tell him some dirty jokes when he's drunk. Guys are really easy to pursue, and I think he's no exception."
Li Jiahe knew that the two were childhood friends. She had heard that Shen Yueze had a thing for legs, so today she specially wore a sexy and revealing strapless dress. It was a tight-fitting dress with the hemline reaching her upper thighs, exposing her bony shoulders, her curves, and her long legs.
Just as she entered, he glanced at her indifferently, his gaze not lingering for long. She sensed that he wasn't the type of guy who was overly lecherous. Based on past experience, if she had given him such a subtle hint, he would have already put his hand on her thigh.
Shen Yueze picked up Xie Yuchen's phone from the table, took a short video, and then posted it on Xie Yuchen's WeChat Moments.
In the corner of the video, Chen Jiabai had his arm around Xia Wei's slender waist, unaware of the camera. Their posture was ambiguous and intimate. After hearing Chen Jiabai's whisper, Xia Wei smiled, hugged his neck, and kissed his cheek, clearly in the state of a couple.
Xie Yuchen asked, "What did you send? Let me see."
I didn't understand, and I'm not playing dice. I was called away, so I didn't pay attention to it.

While Chen Jiabai went to the restroom, Xia Wei stealthily called Shen Yueze out. She went to the balcony, looking guilty, and kept glancing back to see if anyone else had followed her. After a moment of hesitation, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you still have that aromatherapy diffuser you gave me last time?"
"What kind of aromatherapy?"
Shen Yueze leaned against the railing, his arm casually draped over it, his messy black hair blowing in the night wind. He exuded a lazy air and his expression revealed an indescribable melancholy.
I drank quite a lot of alcohol and felt restless. Seeing that everyone was in pairs, I had nowhere to vent my desire. I held a cigarette in one hand, lit it with the other, took a deep drag, and suppressed the indescribable restlessness in my chest. Smoke rose and spread around me.
"It's erotic fragrance."
"Oh, it was a gift from my cousin. Does it work?"
Xia Wei recalled the scene and felt a little embarrassed to talk about it, but still said briefly, "Chen Jiabai reacted very quickly after smelling it, even faster than I expected. It must have been quite effective. He didn't drink or watch any movies that day. I just put it in the living room and didn't do anything to seduce him, but he couldn't resist after smelling it..."
Shen Yueze focused his thoughts, becoming slightly interested, and suddenly asked, "Does it work on girls?"
The aromatherapy diffuser was a gift from Shen Kuo. This distant relative was quite the enthusiast. He said it wasn't widely available in China, and Shen Kuo thought it was just a nice-smelling product. He never expected it to have this function, making it sound like a medicinal pill.
Xia Wei thought about it for a moment and felt a little embarrassed about the topic, "Girls also can't control themselves after smelling it."
He chuckled, "What you're saying sounds like drugging someone."
"You'll know once you try it, but I haven't seen it for sale either; I can't find this brand online."
He flicked his cigarette ash and glanced casually at the luxury items on her body. Wen Yining also had a similar dress, probably bought by Chen Jiabai. Boys don't like to be picky when buying things, it's more convenient.
"I think he treats you quite well, so why do you need this?"
"There always needs to be some novelty, right? It gets boring after a while, whether you're a boy or a girl. Besides, it's not easy to be noticed."
Xia Wei didn't want to seduce him directly, like by wearing sexy lingerie or sending messages, as that would be too obvious. But aromatherapy was different; if placed in the living room or bedroom, who knew what special effects it might have? A straight man like Chen Jiabai wouldn't even notice.
Shen Yueze nodded, planning to go back and ask Shen Kuo for some more of this stuff.

Although he wanted to end the relationship, he also wouldn't let the two rekindle their old flame.
It was just for Ning to see.
