Luo Yuan sat by the bed for a while. Soon, Chen Xinjie’s voice came from the corridor.

”Thank you for sending me back.”

”Don’t worry about it. It’s my pleasure. How can I keep in contact with you?”

”I’m sorry but I will be leaving the New Capital City soon. We'll meet again if fate permits.” It was obvious that Chen Xinjie did not want to offend this unknown man and was trying to reject him politely.

”Sorry if I’m being too forward. I’m staying here for the next few days… perhaps we could meet again?” The man did not seem to give up yet.

Luo Yuan frowned and opened the door. He glanced at the man, looked at Chen Xinjie, and said, ”Do you need any help?”

He was a middle-aged man dressed neatly and his eyes were radiating with confidence. He appeared to be a real gentleman - the type which most women would easily fall in love with.

Looking at Luo Yuan, the man let out an embarrassed laugh and said, ”It’s a misunderstanding, sorry to bother the both of you!”

He left right away.

Luo Yuan looked at him and did not think further.

Chen Xinjie was holding two big bags which smelled like food. Luo Yuan took the bags and realized that there was liquor in one of them. As a soft-spoken woman who was going to sleep in the same room with a stranger, shouldn’t she have her guard up?

Luo Yuan asked in confusion, ”Why did you bring liquor?”

”I want to drink tonight!” Chen Xinjie responded after a short pause. What happened today was a little too much for her. She was strong enough not to collapse but mentally it was too much. Luo Yuan sighed and replied, ”Alright then, but you should only drink half a bottle.”

”Don’t underestimate me… I have passed my alcohol training.” Chen Xinjie grinned in reply.

Luo Yuan did not respond to her remark and removed three bottles of liquor from the bag. They were ‘Er Guo Tou’ which surprised Luo Yuan as he was not aware that they were still producing this brand even after the apocalypse. He threw two bottles into the dustbin without noticing that Chen Xinjie was observing him from behind.

”One bottle... Then go to sleep when you’re done.”

”You’re not drinking?” Chen Xinjie asked.

”I never drink.” Luo Yuan said. He lied though. He used to drink at social events as it would be ridiculous for him to drink juice while his colleagues drank liquor. It would be even more ridiculous if he was with his superior. Some would even consider it disrespectful if he did not drink. However, now that he was here, nobody could force him to.

”You’re such a nice guy.” Chen Xinjie teased.

”Nah, I’ve always been like that.” Luo Yuan chuckled in reply.

…

In reality, she was exaggerating when she said she could drink. Before she could even finish half a bottle, she was already tipsy and her cheeks were red. She started blabbering, ”Men… They’re the worst! If you touch me, I swear I would kick you.”
