evening.
Su Luo took a taxi to the agreed-upon star-rated hotel.
Led by a waiter, we arrived at a private room on the second floor.
The private room was empty; Ozawa Nami and the psychologist hadn't arrived yet.
Su Luo went inside to a window seat and waited quietly.
A short while later, the door to the private room was pushed open again.
"Lolo, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. There was a traffic jam on the way."
Nami Ozawa walked in with a smile.
She wore a beige wool coat, a matching cashmere scarf, and high boots. Her slightly wavy hair was loosely pinned up at the back of her head, making her look gentle and charming.
A woman in black casual clothes was following behind him. Although she was described as a woman, she had very short hair, a neutral appearance, and a flat chest.
He didn't quite look like a man; he was about the same height as Su Luo, and had a rather thin and slender build with sickly pale skin.
Moreover, it's hard to guess her age; her face is quite youthful, but her demeanor is very composed, especially her eyes, which have very dark pupils and a sharp gaze, as if they can see right through people.
Su Luo stood up and said with a smile, "It's okay, I just arrived too."
Nami Ozawa introduced the person behind her, "This is the friend I told you about, Lu Xi."
Su Luo was speechless. How could the name be so gender-neutral? Was the person male or female?
"Hello, my name is Su Luo."
Lu Xi nodded slightly.
The three then took their seats. Ozawa Nami sat opposite Su Luo, while Lu Xi sat next to Ozawa Nami.
The group ordered their food with the waiter.
Nami Ozawa poured tea for the two of them and then took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Lolo, could you briefly tell Xiaoxi about your daughter's situation? After all, your daughter's situation is special, so we need to understand it first."
Su Luo nodded and slowly spoke to Lu Xi.
“Dr. Lu, my daughter is twelve years old and has always had excellent grades. Although she sometimes gets into trouble at school, it's never anything serious. Recently, I've noticed that she's become very aggressive towards women I interact with, calling them bad women. And if I come home late, she gets angry and cries a lot.”
"You still refuse to see a doctor, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you."
Lu Xi looked surprised: "Your daughter is twelve years old?"
Su Luo looks to be in her early twenties, how could she have a twelve-year-old daughter?
"Oh, this daughter is my brother's. My brother passed away three years ago. His wife left home when the baby was a month old and has never been seen since."
“I see. I understand the general situation now. Since your daughter is against you interacting with women, she will probably be against it if I visit your house as a female friend. So, I'll wear men's clothing tomorrow, and you can tell your daughter I'm a boy. I think that should put your daughter at ease. What do you think?”
Su Luo nodded in agreement, "That would be perfect."
So Lu Xi is a woman.
However, to be honest, even if Lu Xi didn't wear men's clothing, his daughter would probably believe him if he told her he was a boy.
At this moment, the waiter brought in drinks and food into the private room.
Nami Ozawa picked up her chopsticks first and suggested, "Alright, now that we've finished talking about business, we can eat."
Su Luo obediently picked up the bowl and said, "Mmm."
Lu Xi didn't say anything, but picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his glass.
He poured a large glass of 53-degree Moutai straight in.
Su Luo secretly clicked her tongue in amazement. As expected of Lu Xi, who was good friends with Ozawa Nami, he could drink a lot just by looking at him.
Of the three, Su Luo was the man with the worst alcohol tolerance.
I didn't originally intend to drink, but I couldn't resist the urging from Ozawa Nami and Lu Xi.
Before I knew it, I was dizzy.
I ran to the bathroom and vomited for a while.
Staggering back to the private room, she found that only Ozawa Nami was left.
Where is Dr. Lu?
Nami Ozawa calmly replied, "She had something to do and went back first."
Su Luo rubbed his throbbing temples, looking at Ozawa Nami sitting upright at the table, his vision starting to blur. He really couldn't drink anymore.
"Well, let's go back too, it's getting late."
Nami Ozawa smiled and said, "Okay, there's still one bottle of Moutai left. Let's finish it and leave. It would be a waste if we didn't."
Su Luo pressed her numb tongue against her palate and stammered, "No, can't I cancel it?"
Ozawa Nami picked up the cap and shook it. "It's all opened now, so it can't be returned."
Su Luo slumped into a chair, pleading, "Sister Nami, I really can't drink anymore. Please, have mercy on me and let me go, okay?"
If he drinks another bottle, he'll definitely black out. How will he get home then? He has to go to work tomorrow.
Ozawa Nami said regretfully, "It costs more than 3,000 yuan a bottle."
Su Luo repeated, "More than 3,000!"
It's so expensive! It's such a waste to just leave it like this. Can I take it to go?
"You can fight..."
Su Luo hadn't finished speaking.
Nami Ozawa had already poured a glass and placed it in front of him, her peach blossom eyes filled with grievance, looking pitiful.
"Lolo, we've had drinks twice already, but you haven't let me have a good time either time. Aren't we good friends? I've helped you so much and patronized your business. Are you really going to refuse?"
Good heavens, they've gone this far.
If Su Luo didn't drink, it would seem really disrespectful. Ozawa Nami was absolutely right; she was helping him so much without asking for anything in return, she just wanted to drink to her heart's content.
If he can't even do such a small request, he'd be a real jerk that day.
I'll drink it!
Su Luo took the glass, steeled himself, tilted his head back, and gulped it down in one go.
"Cough cough!"
It's so spicy, oh my god, it's numb, completely numb.
"Great, another one, please."
Nami Ozawa refilled the empty cup and brought it to Su Luo's lips.
Su Luo tilted his head back, and Ozawa Nami slowly poured the drink into Su Luo's mouth.
After finishing the drink, Su Luo stared at Ozawa Nami for a few seconds, his lips moving slightly.
"Nami-nee, I... I feel like I can't feel my tongue anymore..."
"Really? That's amazing! Then I'll have another one."
Nami Ozawa poured Su Luo another cup.
Su Luo stared blankly at Ozawa Nami, her face flushed.
"This time, I can't feel my brain anymore..."
As soon as he finished speaking...
Thump!
Su Luo lay face down on the table, completely blacked out, and fell asleep.
Ozawa Nami immediately took out her phone and called Lu Xi, who was downstairs, back.
The two of them worked together to help Su Luo out of the hotel.
He threw it into the back seat of Ozawa Nami's car.
Lu Xi closed the car door, looked at Ozawa Nami, and said with concern.
Are you sure Song Ruhai won't be coming home tonight?
She was genuinely worried for Ozawa Nami. Song Ruhai was a big shot in the capital, and if they were discovered, she and Su Luo would definitely suffer a terrible fate.
Nami Ozawa said confidently, "No, don't worry."
Song Ruhai would go out to gamble and wouldn't return until dawn; this had been his habit for many years.
