Chapter 77 Like You
The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier. They were the only two people in the corridor. The raindrops fell violently, cleverly covering up the sound of their heartbeats.
Meng Shiyi's eyes became moist and she clenched her fists tightly, feeling aggrieved and angry.
What did He Xilou think of her? A kitten that he could just play with on the street?
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from far away.
"Hey, what are you two doing here?"
Lu Shijie drank a lot of wine, his face flushed with drunkenness. He staggered and then fell into He Xilou's arms:
"Brother Xilou, I feel a little uncomfortable, ugh..."
After saying that, he vomited all over the floor.
"I really owe you." He Xilou threw away the biscuits, pushed him away in disgust, and called a few male waiters to carry him away.
When he turned around again, Meng Shiyi was gone.
After the birthday, a group of people returned to school.
Meng Shiyi walked into the dormitory, but it was empty.
Xu Qingqing went back to her hometown to attend a wedding, while Sheng Wan went out for a two or three-day trip.
She was left alone, feeling empty and desolate.
Meng Shiyi recalled what He Xilou said in the KTV corridor, and her heart felt like it was blocked by a big ball of cotton, heavy and she couldn't breathe.
After thinking for a moment, she turned around and walked out of the school gate in annoyance.
I can’t describe how I feel.
She wants to drink.
There's a new bar near Imperial University that's very student-friendly. You can get a 20% discount with your student ID. Plus, the security is pretty good.
Meng Shiyi came to the bar holding an umbrella, sat quietly in the corner and drank, finishing one glass after another without realizing it.
The wine was not strong, but it was enough to make her addicted, and the tense nerves in her brain slowly relaxed.
The rain was falling heavily outside, the sound dull and powerful.
Meng Shiyi lay on the table, trying to numb herself with alcohol and forget her troubles for a short time.
Not long.
A man sat next to me, and a familiar and pleasant cold fragrance lingered at my nose.
Meng Shiyi was stunned, then immediately recognized the unique smell and turned her head.
He Xilou just sat beside her nonchalantly, glancing at her with his head slightly tilted, his eyes burning and surging, as if he wanted to suck her in.
Meng Shiyi's heart skipped a beat and she raised her hand to pat her little face.
This shouldn't be the case. Could it be that she drank too much and is hallucinating?
He Xilou supported his head with one hand and spoke casually, "What a coincidence, Sister Shiyi."
...It's not an illusion, it's real.
How come this elusive man appeared again? Why is he everywhere?
There were so many empty seats here, why did he choose to sit next to her? Was he secretly following her?
Meng Shiyi didn't want to pay attention to him, so she picked up her wine glass and left.
Unexpectedly, He Xilou grabbed her wrist from behind, pulled her in front of him, and asked slowly, "Why are you out drinking alone so late at night?"
Meng Shiyi was drunk and blurry, and asked in a muffled tone, "What does this have to do with you?"
"Why is it none of my business?"
The soft warm light in the bar reflected on He Xilou's face, adding a bit of ambiguity and excitement, and even his tough and sharp outlines became gentle.
He Xilou stared at her straight, with an imperceptible deep affection hidden in his eyes, which was particularly bewitching and provocative:
"Meng Shiyi, can't you see it?"
Meng Shiyi was puzzled: "Huh?"
Then, He Xilou pulled her closer, lowered his head deliberately to her ear, and spoke word by word:
"The person I want to date is you."
"The person I like is you too."
He Xilou put away his usual lazy and dissolute demeanor and spoke these words sincerely and genuinely.
His narrow eyes were filled with dark ink, almost swallowing her up, and the teardrop mole under his eyes was even more charming.
Meng Shiyi did not react as shyly as he had imagined.
Instead, it was as if he was struck by lightning, and his whole body seemed to be burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, almost cracking.
Meng Shiyi shrank her neck, her eyes were red and wet, and she looked pitiful:
"I hate you, stay away from me..."
"What did I do to deserve such dislike?"
Meng Shiyi bit her lip and choked softly:
"You already have a girlfriend, and you still want to pick me up. Don't you care about your girlfriend's feelings? You haven't considered my feelings either."
Meng Shiyi vented all her anger and cursed softly: "He Xilou, you scumbag, damn scumbag, sooner or later you will be struck by lightning..."
She was a little drunk and confused, but she still had a clear sense of boundaries and propriety.
You shouldn't get entangled with people who are in a relationship.
As soon as he finished speaking, He Xilou narrowed his eyes slightly, "Where did I get a girlfriend? Who named herself that?"
Meng Shiyi's eyes widened: "How dare you say you are single now?"
"Well, I'm single."
"I don't believe it, you big liar!"
"I'm not lying to you," He Xilou pulled her closer and leaned in front of her, "Tell me, which girl said she was my girlfriend? Who is secretly making up stories about me?"
Meng Shiyi: "The weekend before last, I saw you and her at the hotel entrance."
She added silently, "You still helped her in."
What a single man and a single woman can do in a hotel? You can guess it with your butt.
He Xilou's brows relaxed, he sneered, and searched Baidu on his phone and showed it to her:
"Is it this woman?"
Meng Shiyi looked at the photo on her phone and nodded: "That's her."
He Xilou leaned lazily against the back of his chair, "Would you like to take a closer look?"
Meng Shiyi carefully scanned her identity information. Her resume was very, very good. She was 25 years old and was the CEO of a new energy technology company. Then the information showed... she was married.
There are also photos of her and her husband being interviewed by CCTV reporters.
"Help her up because she couldn't stand steadily. Besides, she's pregnant and has a baby in her belly. You can't just stand there and watch her die."
He Xilou patiently explained, "She's just a partner. When did she become my girlfriend? Besides, she has a husband and children. Am I crazy to be a mistress?"
Meng Shiyi refused to give up: "...Brother Shijie said that. He said you have a girlfriend."
He Xilou finally figured out the whole story. After finishing his phone call with Meng Shiyi that night, he casually said "hmm" to Lu Shijie.
He laughed angrily and gritted his teeth: "Why are you asking Lu Shijie about my relationship instead of asking me? He is the worm in my stomach?"
Meng Shiyi rubbed his sore eyes: "He also said that you call your sweetheart every day!"
The next second, He Xilou suddenly hugged her waist, and his tone was extremely ambiguous:
"Don't you understand? You are the only one I have, my dear sister~"
“…”
So he really doesn't have a girlfriend now.
After a long time, it turned out that she was wrong. Meng Shiyi turned her head away silently, her face turned red in an instant, and she felt guilty.
"When did I become your sweet sister?"
He Xilou curled his lips in a wicked way, "You've held my hand, hugged me, molested me, and even nearly seen me naked. If this isn't flirting, what is?"
He pointed out directly: "Meng Shiyi, don't tell me, you don't really think of me as your 'brother'?"
