I awkwardly looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, I drank too much yesterday and was talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."
He shyly smiled and replied, "It's okay, sister."
I felt embarrassed. His smile was so charming that I couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.
Taking a deep breath, I explained, "I really did drink too much yesterday. I don't usually act like that."
"I understand," he nodded with a smile.
I wanted to cry but had no tears; how could he understand? Just by looking at his expression, it was clear he didn't get it.
"I'm going to work now," I said as I turned away, feeling dejected.
The whole day, I was restless.
I finally realized it wasn't the young man's fault; it was Fang Chu's fault! If he hadn't been mocking me all the time, I wouldn't have been so unsettled, nor would it have affected my work.
After work, Zhou Qingya approached me and asked, "Chen Yunyun, have you got a new boyfriend?"
"Huh?" I was taken aback. "No."
"I just saw a guy waiting for you downstairs."
Zhou Qingya winked at me and said, "If he's not your boyfriend, then who is he?"
"It's..." I found myself at a loss for words on how to explain.
I gritted my teeth and nodded, "He's my boyfriend."
"Look at you," Zhou Qingya teased with a smirk. "Quietly getting yourself another one."
"Shh," I quickly made a gesture for silence. "Don't say that."
After work, I took the young man out for dinner. After all, it was my fault, so I should treat him to a meal.
During dinner, Fang Chu passed by me with a gloomy face.
I felt awkward.
After finishing dinner, Chen Yueyue came to pick me up.
"Sis, what are you up to?"
He frowned at me and asked, "How did you bring him out?"
"Don't mention it."
I felt like crying without tears, "It's all the fault of the alcohol."
"Well, look at you."
Chen Yueyue clicked his tongue twice and said, "You really know how to have fun."
I nudged him with my elbow and replied, "Shut up."
Once I got home, I sent a message to the young man to let him know I was safe.
"I'm home now, don't worry."
"Okay."
As I looked at his reply, I felt like I had overlooked something.
After thinking for a while, I suddenly realized.
"Let's delete each other."
I stared at his WeChat profile picture, feeling like crying without tears.
It seemed he had taken me for a rich woman.
I opened his Moments and saw his location at the restaurant where I treated him to a meal. He had posted: "Eating with my rich sister can only happen in such a small restaurant."
Someone commented below: "Your rich sister must be carrying an LV bag, right?"
"Fake."
I spat blood.
My LV bag was a gift from Shen Yuqian; how could it possibly be fake?
I was deeply affected by this young man.
I need to make money!
I need to earn a lot of money!
The next day, I went to work with big dark circles under my eyes.
Shen Yuqian looked at me with disdain and said, "Are you a panda?"
"Shut up."
I was in a bad mood; don't provoke me.
Shen Yuqian twitched his lips and asked, "Did you eat gunpowder?"
"No."
I shook my head and sighed, "I'm just troubled by money."
"Are you in debt?" Shen Yuqian asked curiously.
"No."
I shook my head. "I was insulted by someone using money."
"What do you mean?"
Shen Yuqian didn't understand.
I briefly explained the situation.
Shen Yuqian burst into laughter. "You deserve it."
"Hey!"
I looked at her unhappily. "Aren't you my best friend anymore?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
She suppressed her laughter. "But this really is your fault; who told you to drink so much?"
"Sigh."
I let out a sigh. "I guess I've realized that alcohol isn't a good thing."
"Just as long as you know."
Shen Yuqian snorted lightly.
Suddenly, I thought of Fang Chu.
I had been avoiding him for the past few days, trying to minimize any one-on-one encounters.
Whenever I ran into him, something bad happened to me.
However, you can avoid the first day of the month but not the fifteenth.
I still bumped into him in the elevator.
He looked at me with a half-smile and asked, "Are you sober now?"
"Yeah."
I nodded, not daring to say another word.
Suddenly, the elevator shook and then plunged into darkness.
