"I wouldn't say I like him, and besides, he's too young..." Chen Lan murmured softly.
"How small? High school?!" Liang Xueting exclaimed, drawing the attention of those around her.
"Keep your voice down," Chen Lan pulled her back. "That person is a junior in college, still a student."
"Hmm, junior year. Junior year for girls... wait, no, junior year for girls, wouldn't they be holding even more gold bricks?" Liang Xueting chuckled.
Chen Lan glanced to the side and whispered, "You make it sound so easy. If I really got together with him, wouldn't I just be a laughingstock?"
Liang Xueting said casually, "That's not true. People are just jealous that you have a young boyfriend, that's why they're gossiping. Other people's thinking is just too outdated."
Chen Lan shook her head. "That's because you're young and don't think about as many things. But I have to think about the future and what other people think."
Liang Xueting rested her chin on her hand and said, "I don't understand what you're worried about. Relationships are clearly a matter between two people, so why involve other people?"
Chen Lan shook her head; her mind was in a mess.
Relationships are really complicated and annoying, which is why she hasn't wanted to date for so many years.
Emotions are far more complicated than work...
bar.
Wuming took Suchen to a quiet bar with only music, singers, and alcohol. The people weren't too mixed, and the environment was very peaceful.
Wuming wanted to order her an island iced tea, but Suchen quickly stopped him.
"Don't think I don't know that Island Iced Tea is the strongest cocktail!"
This was an experience she gained in her first world, and she made up her mind then never to drink Long Island Iced Tea again!
"Heh, you know quite a lot." Wuming raised an eyebrow, truly regretting not seeing her drunk.
Su Chen was so flattered by his praise that she almost snorted at him. "Of course, what don't I know?"
Wuming chuckled and leaned close to her ear, "There are still many things you don't know. Do you want me to teach you?"
Su Chen's ears were very ticklish, and the fact that he was speaking right next to her ear made her feel numb all the way down to her thighs.
"No need!" Su Chen quickly pushed him away, putting distance between them. This guy really is... always flirting with her! Disgusting.
"Alright then." Wuming grabbed Su Chen's hand that was on his chest. "How are my pecs doing? Not bad, right?"
Su Chen quickly tried to pull her hand back, but he held it and she couldn't get it out.
Wuming took a swig of the wine on the table and lowered his head to kiss it.
Wine trickled down Su Chen's lips to his chin, and Wuming reached out a large hand to wipe it away.
"Cough cough cough...Are you sick?!" Su Chen coughed and cursed.
"Do you really want me to be with other women?" Wuming's eyes were deep and unfathomable, completely different from his usual self.
"Yes, how is it?" Su Chen frantically wiped her lips with a napkin.
Wuming held her hand down, "You wouldn't care if I married someone else or not."
“Yes, I don’t care,” Su Chen replied, her eyes red.
"Fine, as you wish." Wuming took a swig of wine and left without looking back.
Su Chen cursed him in her heart for being crazy, and deliberately took a walk outside to get rid of the smell of alcohol before returning home.
For the next few days, Wuming did not log on, as if she had vanished from the face of the earth, disappearing from her world.
For some reason, Su Chen always felt a tightness in her chest, and she couldn't enjoy playing games. Sometimes she would think of Wuming's laughter, how he would deliberately make her angry, and he would say, "Wouldn't you care if I married another woman?"
