That night.
Mike carried his collection to Ye Shenggeâs door and knocked, only to see Lin Qi smiling at him.
âI brought wine,â Mike said with a smile. âIs Ye in there?â
âIâm here. Can you give me the wine?â Lin Qi reached out her hand.
Mike thought for a bit and handed her the wine.
âThank you.â Lin Qi took it and smiled. She closed the door before Mike could react.
Mike was dazed.
...
Lin Qi couldnât care less. She walked to Ye Shengge with her wine and said, âSister Shengge, Iâve sent Mike away, but Iâve brought his wine. Letâs see if he still dares to ask you out on this excuse. Humph, I reckon he wants to take advantage of you.â
Ye Shengge had just come out of the shower. âWhereâs the wine? Give it to me.â
âWhat are you doing, Sister Shengge?â Lin Qi was cautious. âI can chat with you if youâre in a bad mood.â
âI just want to drink.â Ye Shengge was dazed. âI havenât been drunk in a long time.â
âSister Shengge, call Mr. Ji if you regret it.â
âIâm not trying to get back together with him.â She sounded like a little girl. âI just... I donât think we can just part like this. I still have a lot to say to him, but heâs already ignoring me.â
Lin Qi was about to cry.
She thought for a bit and went to the kitchen to get two glasses. âSister Shengge, Iâll drink with you!â
âNo need. Go back.â Ye Shengge took the wine and glass from her and said seriously. âI can hold my liquor well, and this might not be enough for me. Donât compete with me.â
Lin Qi was rendered speechless. She nodded and said, âOkay then. Iâll come to you early tomorrow.â
Before leaving, she listened to Ye Shenggeâs instructions and helped her lock her ankle to prevent her second personality from messing around after waking up tomorrow.
Mike had a lot of red wine.
Ye Shengge drank glass after glass. Although she had a good alcohol tolerance, she started to get drunk very quickly.
After getting drunk, people would feel as if the entire world was in their grasp, so many people would be mesmerized by the feeling of being drunk. Ye Shengge had rarely gotten drunk before. In the past, she would take medicine in advance to keep herself sober when she was attending social events. This was the first time she had drunk so openly.
However, it felt great.
Gradually, she saw double images, and the entire world was shaking. She couldnât help chuckling.
She didnât notice anyone walking in.
...
The moment Ji Shiting opened the door, he smelled alcohol.
He paused and looked at Ye Shengge. She was obviously drunk. Her chin was on the desk, and her face was flushed. She stared at the glass cup in front of her and giggled.
The man swallowed hard, took off his suit jacket and walked to her.
The woman stumbled to her feet as if she would fall to the ground in the next second, and Ji Shiting held her.
The woman fell into her arms, and the red wine in the glass completely stained his shirt.
âShiting?â She seemed to smell something familiar. She looked up and tried to see his face.
The man didnât say anything. He stroked her face and said, âYes, itâs me.â
