Jin Rongyan said, “You don’t actually have to stay at the dormitory. It’s so near from home.”
“I’ll come home after the contest. Saves me the hassle of traveling to and fro.”
Jin Rongyan remarked, “How lazy can you get? It’s such a short distance.”
“You don’t have a girlfriend right now, do you?” she asked at the thought of Li Xiaoxiao’s words.
“No, I’m too busy with work for a girlfriend.”
“Stop using work as an excuse. Ji Gui said that you’re carrying a torch for someone but you haven’t had the chance to confess to her yet. Is she your colleague?” asked Long Xiaoxi.
She could not think of anyone else apart from his colleagues. After all, he probably did not have the time to meet other girls.
“She’s a classmate of mine from university and she does work in the same hospital as me too. I’ve never had the chance to confess to her because she’s always had a boyfriend.”
Long Xiaoxi looked at him and asked, “Are you waiting for her to break up with her boyfriend before you’d be willing to confess?”
“I don’t know.”
“My friend said that she’s in love with you.”
Jin Rongyan said with a straight face, “Don’t you find her to be very superficial and casual?”
“Love at first sight does happen.”
“I don’t have a good impression of her.”
Long Xiaoxi shrugged her shoulders and said, “You’ll only get to know her better after interacting with her more often.”
“Well, I don’t feel like interacting with her.”
“…”
Jin Rongyan pulled over at an entertainment joint.
When she alighted from the car, she asked, “Is your brother here too?”
“Yeah.”
“…”
“From now on, I must ask you guys beforehand if he’s joining us.”
Jin Rongyan smiled and said, “He’s been very busy lately too. It’s rare for him to have the time to hang out with us. Since you can’t stand the sight of him at all, why don’t you just ignore his presence?”
Long Xiaoxi stuck her thumb up and said, “Good idea, I shall do just that.”
The two of them entered and walked toward a private room. Long Xiaoxi took a deep breath and opened the door.
To her surprise, there were other women inside whom she did not recognize.
She looked at Jin Rongyan and asked, “What’s going on? Why are there strangers?”
“You’ll have to ask Ji Gui. I have no idea.”
Long Xiaoxi shifted her gaze onto Ji Gui, who was walking toward her with a microphone in hand. He put his arm around her shoulder and said softly, “These girls are undergraduates I’ve invited. They’re fun-loving and bubbly. Don’t mind them, we’ll play and enjoy ourselves.”
Glaring daggers at him, Long Xiaoxi wished she could kill him with her gaze. Without another word, she took a seat on the couch beside Jin Rongyan. She subconsciously leaned back against the couch and took a casual glance at the spot opposite her, only to make eye contact with Jin Yiheng.
He was sitting on the couch with a cold and aloof expression on his face and a cigarette between his slender fingers. He kept his eyes fixed on her for a long time. Peeved by the way he was staring at her, Long Xiaoxi questioned, “What are you looking at?”
“You.”
“You’re nuts.” Long Xiaoxi looked away and gulped a large glass of beer, after which she instantly regretted her decision.
Her stomach could not tolerate cold foods because of her gastritis.
As expected, her stomach began churning the moment she downed the entire glass of beer and a sudden discomfort arose.
