121 SHAMELESSLY SWEET TONGUE (1/2)

Hu Lei found herself in a VIP private room two floors above the open Maven Restaurant a short while after Chen Li showed up. She settled in the room after instructing the hostess to bring in Carefree Dreams as soon as she showed up.

She looked at the drinks menu casually, though she intended to order a cup of ginger tea. However, her mind changed when she saw a familiar strawberry cocktail on the list. A wave of nostalgia encompassed her as she thought of the first time she had had dinner with Zhong Feng.

It was a long time ago, but the memory was clear. The happiness and freedom that she had felt on that night was one of the things that kept her sane for longer in that lab. She had tried to hold on to the feeling of laughing with him and to the image of his face looking at her with amusement.

She did not have a lot of happy memories. Everything was tainted by a life of darkness. The short period over which she had been with him had been the only source of comfort and hope in that bleak place. Though at the end she had begun to lose her grasp on her memories, she had never forgotten the feeling he gave her.

When she could not remember anything, she had felt his soul resonate with hers, comforting her. She had known that he would not harm her even though she could not clearly remember his identity.

A red cocktail with a little umbrella was placed in front of her. She nodded at the young lady and sipped on the drink. She felt a smile form on her face. Granted, it had nothing on Zhong Feng's homemade juice, but there was a certain satisfaction in a taste that was steeped with memories.

She happily kept drinking, choosing to immerse herself in the joy of her new life. There was no need to dwell on the unpleasant events of the past.

When Carefree Dreams showed up, Hu Lei had already downed quite a few. Her face had become a little flushed, and she was smiling without a care in the world.

”It seems that I am late for the party.” The gorgeous woman spoke in an amused tone.

”What are you talking about? We are just getting started.” Hu Lei responded.

Even though she looked drunk, she was actually still clear-minded. It seemed that her constant exposure to drugs had at least improved her tolerance.

”Are you sure?” There was doubt on the other woman's face.

”Of course, I am sure. Today, I am meeting my lifelong idol. We must make it a legendary night.”

Their server showed up at this point and Hu Lei made her order. Her appetite had improved a little, but she still ate small portions. However, she made an order of a range of dishes. She wanted her idol to feel comfortable with her.

The other woman made her order. She seemed to know her food, based on how she spoke confidently. Hu Lei only chose food from the menu arbitrarily while she put some thought into her choices. Finally, she ordered a bottle of wine.

”You seem to know a lot about food. Is Carefree Dreams a secret foodie?” Hu Lei asked with twinkling eyes.

The beautiful woman blushed at the question.

”You can call me Song Yin.” She responded.
