Luo Zhi looked at Gu Zhiye, who was still pestering her, and didn't understand what he was doing.

Gu Zhiye pulled out a nameless business card and said, "I'll give you two chances. If you can guess my profession, I'll hire you at twice the salary I just mentioned after you graduate. Also, you're allowed to have dinner with me."

Luo Zhi found Gu Zhiye's behavior very boring, especially since Zhao Shucheng had already posted photos of his ambiguous interactions with Chen Mohan, letting her know that Gu Zhiye wasn't as polite as he seemed.

"I never thought there would be such a new way to pick up girls these days. I'll offer you a job, money, and a candlelight dinner, but I'm not interested. Don't waste your time here, go find someone else. There are so many glamorous girls out there, I'm sure everyone would want to snag your business card."

Gu Zhiye was surprised that Luo Zhi was not interested, and said, "How about this, I'll guess. If I guess right, you'll countdown with me on New Year's Eve."

Seeing that Luo Zhi did not object, Gu Zhiye said, "You are a person who speaks with meticulous logic and acts with seriousness and rigor. You know exactly how many pieces of cake to take and where to sit to eat. Moreover, you are very quick-witted. I guess you are at least a law major. You are naturally indifferent to fame and fortune, quiet and not talkative. Although you seem indifferent on the outside, you are full of enthusiasm for the world inside."

"I guess you must be very devoted in love and have high expectations for family. Cancer, blood type A."

Luo Zhi looked at the other person with some surprise and asked, "How did you know?"

"It's almost time. I have to go to the sharing session. I'll tell you more during the candlelight dinner later."

Luo Zhi said, "You're a lawyer, right?"

Gu Zhiye was taken aback for a moment, looked at Luo Zhi, and said, "How did you guess that?"

Luo Zhi said, "Actually, it's easy to guess. Your logical reasoning and the previous list of alumni invited can be easily compared. However, I may have to apologize for your invitation, because you guessed half right. I majored in finance and minored in law."

As she spoke, Luo Zhi stood up and said, "Oh, right, there's one more thing. The salary and benefits you're offering might be very attractive to others, but they're nothing to me."

Zhao Shucheng had finished his sharing session and was chatting and laughing with Gu Senxiang as he prepared to leave.

When Gu Senxiang saw Luo Zhi, she waved and said, "Luo Zhi, over here!"

Luo Zhi greeted her with a smile and said, "You've finished your sharing session? I'm sorry, Qi Ming, I was eating something and forgot the time, so I missed your sharing session."

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "If you want to hear it, you can share it anytime. Besides, what I'm talking about is suitable for college students who haven't graduated yet and haven't found jobs. You're a senior executive in our company, so those things are no longer suitable for you. By the way, how did you end up with him?"

"He tried to chat me up with what he thought were some funny and novel tricks, but in reality, he was incredibly greasy."

As Luo Zhi spoke, she suddenly looked around and asked, "By the way, where is Zhan Yan?"

Gu Senxiang said, "I don't know. Qi Ming said she had something to do during the sharing session and didn't go. I thought she came to see you."

"Then let's call her and tell her we're leaving, and see if she wants to come with us."

As Luo Zhi spoke, she took out her phone and called Ye Zhanyan, but heard Ye Zhanyan's slurred voice on the other end, which sounded like she had drunk too much.

Zhao Shucheng told Luo Zhi and Gu Senxiang to wait outside, while he followed the address Ye Zhanyan had given him and found Ye Zhanyan sitting to the side drinking.

At this moment, Ye Zhanyan was already drunk, and her suitor Li Dawei was right beside her.

Ye Zhanyan raised her wine glass and said, "Let me tell you, I'm in a terrible mood today, and I feel incredibly ashamed. But I'm not reconciled. I really want to get rid of these burdens, so why can't anyone see my efforts? Why can't I get any recognition?"

"Zhanyan, you still have me. I can see that. You have me, and I'm willing to do anything for you."

Ye Zhanyan looked at Li Dawei and asked, "Then are you willing to die for me?"

Li Dawei said, "I'm willing. As long as you're willing to be my girlfriend, I'll do anything you ask."

As he spoke, Li Dawei started to grope her. Ye Zhanyan naturally objected and dodged away, saying, "Li Dawei, what are you doing?"

"Zhanyan, listen to me, I like you, I mean it, be with me!"

Zhao Shucheng naturally couldn't stand by and watch Li Dawei continue his harassment, so he stepped forward and kicked him to the ground, saying, "You've had too much to drink, you should sober up! Zhan Yan, Luo Zhi, and the others are waiting for you outside, I'll take you to meet them!"

"Qi Ming, you came to save me. I knew you cared about me too."

Li Dawei glared angrily at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Qi Ming, it's you again? You already have a girlfriend, why are you still bothering Zhan Yan?"

“This is our own business, it’s a mutual consent process, much better than you forcing someone like this. You’d better leave before I lose my temper, otherwise, given what you just did, if I call the police, you’ll be in big trouble.”

When Li Dawei saw Zhao Shucheng take out his phone, he was worried that Zhao Shucheng would actually call the police, so he had no choice but to flee in a sorry state.

Zhao Shucheng then looked at Ye Zhanyan, who was leaning against him, and said, "Ye Zhanyan, you're really something, drinking here all by yourself. Aren't you worried about getting into trouble?"

Ye Zhanyan smiled foolishly at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Qi Ming, I'm in pain. When will you see me? You can't just have eyes for Gu Senxiang."

Zhao Shucheng said, "It seems you really have drunk too much. Let's go, I'll take you back to your dorm."

Luo Zhi and Gu Senxiang saw Ye Zhanyan being carried out by Zhao Shucheng and asked, "What happened to Zhanyan?"

"He drank too much. He almost got taken advantage of just now. So you girls should drink less when you're out, and it's best not to get drunk. You should also keep some self-defense items in your bag in case you encounter any danger."

"We wouldn't get drunk outside. Zhanyan must have something on her mind to be acting like this. Okay, let's help her back to the dorm!"

As Luo Zhi was about to take Ye Zhanyan from him, she didn't expect Ye Zhanyan to be holding onto Zhao Shucheng's clothes so tightly that they couldn't separate for a moment.

"Never mind, I'll go with you to take her home."

As Zhao Shucheng was speaking, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Luo Zhi, where is your roommate?"

Luo Zhi then realized that it had been quite a while since she had seen Jiang Baili.

“Yes, I haven’t seen Belle since earlier. I’ll call her and ask if she went home first.”

When Jiang Baili received Luo Zhi's call, Gobi was already drunk and being forced to drink by a girl he once loved but could not have.

Chen Mohan, Gobi's current girlfriend, only felt ashamed and had no intention of helping Gobi at all. Although Jiang Baili loudly declared that she had broken up with Gobi, she still couldn't help but step forward to help him when she saw him being forced to drink.

"Gobi, drink less alcohol if you can't drink. Congratulations on the success of your exchange meeting!" Jiang Baili patted Gobi on the shoulder, then turned and left gracefully, while answering Luo Zhi's call at the same time.

"Luo Zhi, I was just about to come out, let's go back together!"

When Luo Zhi saw Jiang Baili come out, she noticed that the other woman's expression was off and asked, "Baili, what's wrong?"

“Luo Zhi, Gobi was being forced to drink alcohol earlier, and I couldn’t help but help him. Even though we broke up, I still felt uncomfortable seeing him being harassed.”

"Belle, you've done a great job. You didn't cry or make a fuss. Everyone must think highly of you."

Jiang Baili nestled in Luo Zhi's arms and cried loudly for a while before wiping away her tears and saying, "I don't care what others think of me. I only do what I like. Let's not talk about this anymore. Why are you leaving now? Qi Ming isn't a key guest at the sharing session. Isn't it inappropriate for him to leave now?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "No one stipulates that you have to stay until the end of the sharing session, right? Besides, other people attend the sharing session for resources. Our company is not in the same industry as them, so we don't need these resources, and there is no need for us to pretend."

"Let's go, you're all such a handful." Gu Senxiang couldn't help but look at Ye Zhanyan, who was clinging to Zhao Shucheng, and Jiang Baili, who had just wiped away her tears.

Jiang Baili then noticed that Ye Zhanyan was drunk and being carried on Zhao Shucheng's back, while his girlfriend was watching from the side, seemingly with no intention of interfering.

This made her very curious about the relationship between the group. If it was her idea to pretend to be a couple with Zhao Shucheng at the beginning, but they still haven't separated after so long, could it be that Luo Zhi has really fallen in love with him?
"Today is New Year's Eve, aren't you guys planning to countdown instead of going back to your dorms to sleep?"

Hearing Jiang Baili ask this question, Gu Senxiang and Luo Zhi exchanged a glance, then looked at Ye Zhanyan, who had already fallen asleep drunk, and said, "So what are your thoughts?"

Jiang Baili said, "Of course we'll ring in the New Year together."

Zhao Shucheng said, "It's easy to celebrate the New Year, but don't forget about the dormitory curfew. You don't want to be unable to get back to your dorm and have to sleep on the streets, do you?"

Gu Senxiang said, "That's easy. Let's go to the apartment. There are still some snacks and food that Qi Ming bought before. We can wait together until midnight. Zhan Yan is drunk, and we're worried about her being alone. It'll be easier to take care of her if she comes with us."

Seeing that the group had reached an agreement so quickly, what could Zhao Shucheng say? He could only take them to the parking lot and drive them back to the apartment.

But when they arrived at the apartment door, Gu Senxiang suddenly remembered something and said with a blush, "I suddenly remembered that the room hasn't been tidied up much. Please wait outside for a while while I go and tidy it up."

"No need, we'll help you pack, it'll be faster that way."

As she spoke, Luo Zhi took out her key and opened the door, leaving Gu Senxiang no time to refuse.

Zhao Shucheng also knew why Gu Senxiang said that earlier. After all, ever since they tasted the forbidden fruit, the two of them often came here to relive their old dreams. The kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom, and balcony were all their battlefields.

After Gu Senxiang rushed in, she hurriedly hid the things that had been scattered earlier, but Luo Zhi and Jiang Baili had already noticed something amiss.

The two of them immediately blushed, realizing they shouldn't have rushed in so rashly and should have agreed to let Gu Senxiang come in and tidy up first.

After putting everything away with her head down, Gu Senxiang looked at the others with a rosy face and said, "Please sit down for a while. Qi Ming and I will settle Zhanyan down and then go to the kitchen to cook."

"No need, we'll go to the kitchen. You guys just wait and eat," Jiang Baili volunteered.

Luo Zhi hesitated after hearing this.

"Luo Zhi, what's wrong? Don't tell me you can't cook?"

"No, it's just that we're all used to Qi Ming's cooking; it's so much better than mine."

Is it really that delicious?

"You'll know once you try it."

Every time Gu Senxiang and Luo Zhi came to the apartment, Zhao Shucheng would cook for them. They looked forward to eating Zhao Shucheng's cooking and naturally didn't want to miss it today.

After Zhao Shucheng escorted Ye Zhanyan to her bedroom, he left and asked Gu Senxiang to help her change her clothes. Zhao Shucheng then went to the kitchen to prepare tonight's supper.

Since it was New Year's Eve, Zhao Shucheng prepared only some simple dishes and a few bottles of drinks.

Although Jiang Baili was still chatting and laughing with Luo Zhi, after sitting down for a while, her eyes became a little glazed over, and the alcohol she had drunk earlier began to take effect.

Seeing Jiang Baili struggling to stay awake, Luo Zhi said, "Baili, why don't you go to the bedroom and rest for a while? I'll wake you up to make a wish at New Year's Eve."

"It's a promise then, you have to call me!"

"Okay, definitely!"

After Jiang Baili went to the kitchen to rest, Zhao Shucheng looked at Gu Senxiang and Luo Zhi, raised his glass and said, "Alright, it's just the three of us alone again. Do you remember the first time we met when we first entered university?"

"Of course I remember. At that time, Luo Zhi was staring blankly at Sheng Huainan when a persimmon fell from the persimmon tree and hit her on the instep. She looked quite embarrassed," Gu Senxiang said with a smile.

Luo Zhi, relentlessly throwing herself at Gu Senxiang, said, "Xiangxiang, you've brought up my embarrassing secrets again. Don't mention them again, or I'll say something back to you."

"I'm not afraid of you, and I have nothing shameful to hide that I'm afraid you'll tell me."

"Oh, really? Then the purple I saw on the sofa earlier..."

Gu Senxiang quickly covered Luo Zhi's mouth, but she didn't expect that even though she acted so quickly, Luo Zhi still saw it. She wondered if Jiang Baili had seen it too.

Thinking of this, Gu Senxiang couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhao Shucheng, making him feel somewhat confused.

But Zhao Shucheng quickly realized that the purple that Luo Zhi had mentioned earlier must be Gu Senxiang's underwear from before. He remembered that they were on the sofa at the time...

Zhao Shucheng coughed and said, "By the way, Luo Zhi, I saw you chatting with Gu Zhiye earlier, what were you talking about?"

"It was nothing, just some flirting talk. He thought he was being witty and humorous, but anyone could see through his intentions. But now I believe the photos you posted before; he definitely has something to do with Chen Mohan."

Jiang Baili seemed to have a stress reaction, rushing out of the bedroom and asking, "Where is Chen Mohan?" (End of Chapter)
