98 Pretending to Be Drunk
Lin Jiao thought so too.
She picked up the wine glass and tasted the fruit fragrance that entered her nose. âIs there any other way?â
Qian Yue gave her two ideas.
One of the most common ideas was to pretend to be drunk so that she could get what she wanted tonight. âGive the key to Yilan for safekeeping.â
âRight away.â Lin Jiao stuffed the door key into Pei Yilanâs bag.
After her problem was solved, it was Pei Yilanâs turn to ask, âWhat about me? I havenât kissed him yet.â
âDidnât you kiss him when you went to visit him on the shooting side?â
âI didnât get the chance.â
âNo hurry.â Qian Yue made a perfect plan based on her situation.
She took out an air cushion to touch up her makeup. âThatâs about it. Next time, Iâll have to ask you something in return.â
Pei Yilan understood what she meant. âWe donât have to wait for next time. Iâll introduce one to you now.â
âReally?â
âAbsolutely!â She swiped open her phone and scrolled through her WeChat list. âWhat type of men do you like as of now?â
âGentle and mature.â
âI think Shen Yi is not bad.â Lin Jiao immediately thought of him. âAnd heâs a doctor too. Heâs a good match for you.â
âShen Yi from Tongji Hospital?â
âYou saw him.â
Qian Yue pursed her lips. âI met him this morning when I went to sign the contract.â
âAre you going to work at Tongji from now on?â
âThatâs right.â
âWhat a coincidence.â Pei Yilan retracted her hand from the list and looked at her suggestively. âWhy donât you two try to develop a relationship?â
âForget it.â She said without thinking, âItâs especially awkward to remain colleagues after breaking up.â
âYouâre already thinking about breaking up before you even start dating?â
âI like to plan things ahead of time.â
Pei Yilan clicked her tongue and said, âIf you have feelings for him, you can give it a try.â
âBut I donât.â
ââ¦Then Iâll find someone else for you.â
Lin Jiao listened carefully to the male candidates and occasionally gave suggestions.
Unfortunately, Qian Yue did not like any of them.
âI only have so many single and unmarried male friends.â Pei Yilan shrugged and looked at Lin Jiao. âJiaojiao, do you have any?â
âI do, but I donât think heâs compatible.â
âWho?â
âBrother Yanshen.â
âWhat makes you think heâs not compatible?â Qian Yueâs curiosity was piqued.
âHe changes his girlfriends very often.â
âDoes he cheat?â
âNo.â
âDoes he hit women?â
âNo.â Lin Jiao listed his advantages. âHeâs very filial and kind. He never loses his temper for no reason.â
âFrom what you said, other than changing girlfriends frequently, heâs good in all aspects?â
âRight.â
âLet me see the photo first.â Qian Yue put out her hands. âIf heâs my type, it doesnât matter how often he changes girlfriends.â
Lin Jiao found a photo for her to look at.
When a familiar face entered Qian Yueâs eyes, she couldnât help but exclaim.
âItâs him!â She stood up excitedly. âJiaojiao, are you sure heâs single?â
âPositive.â
Lin Jiao was puzzled. âWhatâs wrong?â
âHe fits my criteria for a partner.â
âBecause of this photo?â
âNo.â
Qian Yue told them about how Yanshen helped her find her stolen phone in Lin City one evening in July.
She took a sip of wine to calm herself down. âI wanted to ask him for his contact number, but his girlfriend was present too, soâ¦â
âSo you fell in love with him at first sight?â
âYou could say that.â
âItâs the same between me and Jiang Ye!â Pei Yilan was even more excited than her when she heard of a similar encounter.
Lin Jiao, who was sandwiched in the middle, covered her ears when the other two screamed.
âJiaojiao, are you close to him?â
âHeâs my brother.â
âCousin?â
âNo.â She briefly explained her relationship with Zhou Yanshen and asked, âAre you really planning to develop a relationship with him?â
Qian Yue replied firmly, âI wonât leave after coming back this time anyway.â
âFine.â
âWhat kind of expression is that?â She held Lin Jiaoâs arm. âDonât you want me to be your sister-in-law?â
Lin Jiao shook her head. âIâm afraid youâll get hurt.â
Although Qian Yue had more romantic experiences than them, if she really fell in love with someone, she would do anything.
As for Zhou Yanshenâ¦
He did not even know what love was.
âDonât worry.â Qian Yue leaned on her shoulder, feeling a warmth in her heart. âI will walk away if I must.â
Seeing that she was determined, Lin Jiao did not stop her.
She opened the calendar. âItâs Uncleâs birthday on the fifth of next month. Iâll introduce him to you then.â
âHe wonât fall in love during this period, will he?â
âI donât think so.â
âTell him first.â Qian Yue was worried that she would be disappointed and quickly asked her to send a WeChat message.
Not long after, Zhou Yanshen called. âJiaojiao, why do you want to introduce a girl to me all of a sudden?â
âCanât I?â
âOf course you can.â With the cigarette in his mouth, he listened carefully to the song on the other end of the phone. âWhere are you guys now? Shall I come over and play?â
Lin Jiao glanced at Qian Yue.
âWeâre leaving soon.â
âAlright.â Zhou Yanshen collapsed on the bed and did not force her. âTell me when you get home.â
âOkay.â Lin Jiao hung up.
Just as she was about to ask Qian Yue, Pei Yilan asked first, âWhy donât you want to see him tonight?â
âI didnât dress up today.â Qian Yue looked down at the dress she was wearing and pointed at the tip of her nose. âThereâs another pimple here.â
âYour pimple isnât obvious.â
âItâs all the same.â She cared about her image. âI donât want him to see any flaws in me.â
Lin Jiao chuckled. âI understand.â
People who fell in love all wanted to show their best side to their loved ones, and she was no exception.
âCome, cheers.â Seeing that there was still so much wine left to drink, Pei Yilan immediately raised her glass.
The atmosphere was still lively.
After three rounds of drinking, all of them were red in the face.
Seeing that it was almost midnight, Qian Yue took the phone from Lin Jiao and called Pei Zhi.
She told him about the location of the bar. âDone!â
âHow soon will he be here?â
âAbout fifteen minutes.â
âThen should I hide?â Pei Yilan put down her cup, worried that she would be scolded later.
âNo need.â Lin Jiao held the mirror as Qian Yue helped her touch up her makeup, âJust pretend to be asleep.â
Pei Yilan crossed her arms and lay down.
She looked at Qian Yue again before closing her eyes. âDonât let him send me back.â
Qian Yue blinked. âOkay.â
