“Psst! Gu Junlin, you’re dead meat.” Wen Xinya burst out laughing. She laughed so hard that her body curled up on the sofa. Gu Junlin and Zhou Tianyu always had a love-hate relationship. They could not stop teasing each other.

Upon hearing that, Zhou Tianyu pounced on Gu Junlin on the sofa and started bashing him up. Gu Junlin yelled hysterically. “Don’t hit my face. Don’t hit my face… I go out in the streets if you punch my already ordinary-looking face…”

“Damn it. I can’t forgive myself if I don’t punch the acne out of you.”

Gu Junlin and Zhou Tianyu started the ball rolling, and the entire ambiance in the room instantly became lively.

As Wen Xinya had consumed a fair bit of alcohol, Zhou Tianyu quickly brought her a bowl of fish soup. “Drink slowly, or you will get drunk easily. If you get drunk, I shall not be responsible for sending you home.”

Gu Junlin gently glanced towards Xu Zhenyu. “That’s alright, someone else will take the responsibility to do it.”

Understanding what he meant, Zhou Tianyu glared at him and said, “He’s always the one who drinks the most and get drunk first.”

Xu Zhenyu watched Wen Xinya and his gang happily chatting away. It reminded him of his dream. Though it was only a dream, it was intense, and his emotions felt so real that he could hardly breathe.

“Xu-er, Xu-er…”

When Xu Zhenyu finally came out of his daze, he saw everyone looking at him. “Why aren’t you guys eating or drinking? Why are you staring at me?” He shouted.

Wen Xinya took a piece of fish for Xu Zhenyu and removed all the bones before placing it in his bowl. “We’re all here to have some fun. Why are you sitting and looking gloomy all by yourself?”

“Oh, I’m fine. I was just deep in thought.” Wen Xinya’s actions startled Xu Zhenyu. How did she know that he liked to eat fish but hated the bones? It seemed like… she had already done these actions during his previous birthday celebration.

Zhou Tianyu and the rest saw something fishy was going on between them and wanted to tease Xu-er. Wen Xinya continued to give them food; their favorite food. Including the previous round, this was only the second time she joined their gathering.

“Hey, have you watched the latest movie, ‘Young Memories’? It is a small production. The supporting actor did an awesome job winning the audience over.” Wen Xinya conversed casually as she held on to her wine glass.

According to what Wen Xinya remembered, the male supporting actor in “Young Memories” was trying to get into Hollywood together with a group of local superstars. He became famous overnight and was a highly sought-after actor 10 years later. Ling Qingxuan had rendered her a great help this time, and she wanted to return him the favor.

Indeed, Ling Qingxuan showed great interest. “He must have been pretty good to be able to earn our Young Missus Wen’s praise. I’ll look into it in more detail later.”

Wen Xinya was not worried that Ling Qingxuan would miss this opportunity. She had spent time with them and got to know them better. On the surface, they appeared to be like rich playboys. But other than Xu-er, who was more of a pushover, the rest excelled in their own industries.

As they continued chatting happily, the conversation shifted to the real estates in the West Coast area. Wen Xinya mentioned a little about the future growth in that area. When she noticed Gu Junlin deep in thought, she smiled and stopped elaborating further.
