I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 356 Music Bar
How did you two meet?

Lin Ying had been staring at Xiang Wen. After seeing her send the message, a rare smile suddenly bloomed on her pretty face. She couldn't help but ask again, "Where is he from? Where did you two meet? And, you two... slept together, didn't you?"

Lin Ying had too many curiosities.

She had initially thought Xiang Wen was in a bad mood because her relationship with Li Lan had broken down, but now she didn't think so anymore.

She and Xiang Wen grew up together and knew each other very well. She had never seen Xiang Wen so anxious and insecure because of a man.

Xiang Wen is using her as a cover; she doesn't plan to go home tonight, clearly intending to stay with that man.

Clearly, something must have happened between the two of them.

"Yazhou. When Li Lan and I went there, he was sitting next to me on the plane."

Xiang Wen blushed, and even her fair and slender neck was tinged with a faint blush.

She didn't say whether she and Wei Lin had slept together, but only said, "Lin Ying! I'm only telling you this, so please don't tell anyone else!"

If it weren't for needing Lin Ying's help to cover it up, she would have even kept it from Lin Ying as well.

"I'm just asking you, have you slept with him or not?!"

Lin Ying snorted lightly, unwilling to give up easily.

Xiang Wen nodded softly, her voice barely audible, and gave a gentle "Mmm".

Lin Ying suddenly became excited and asked, "Where?!"

"It's in Yazhou."

Xiang Wen answered softly.

Lin Ying looked at her intently for a few seconds and said, "Wow, Xiang Wen! You went to Yazhou with Li Lan and the others for the New Year, met a man on the plane, and then actually got together with him!"

"Now I'm even more curious!"

"What kind of man could have made you have a relationship with him in Yazhou while you were traveling with Li Lan?!"

Lin Ying knew better than anyone that Xiang Wen was not a casual girl.

The thought that Xiang Wen would do such a thing aroused Lin Ying's curiosity even more, and she was filled with anticipation for Wei Lin, who had not yet appeared.

……

The two returned to their seats.

Before Xiang Wen could speak, Lin Ying said first, "Lu Dawei, Wenwen has a friend who happens to be in Jinling City. She'll be going to a music bar with us later."

"Sure, it'll be more lively with more people," Lu Dawei readily agreed, then asked with a smile, "Men or women?"

Lin Ying explained, "He's a man, a friend Xiang Wen met while traveling in Yazhou. Don't overthink it, they're just ordinary friends!"

Everyone: "Oh."

Everyone wasn't stupid; they could all see that Xiang Wen's expression was off. Sometimes she was overjoyed, and other times she looked worried, behaving even more strangely than before.

Without Xiang Wen needing to say much, everyone guessed that she had an ambiguous relationship with that man, and concluded that the person who had been making Xiang Wen feel bad lately was the man who was about to appear.

Everyone's curiosity was piqued, and they all wanted to know about the man's condition.

……

Nine p.m.

Feilin Music Bar.

Having booked a hotel but not yet checked in, Wei Lin drove straight there.

From the moment he left Mingji Hospital, Wei Lin felt depressed and gloomy. It wasn't until the plane took off that his tense nerves finally relaxed.

Now, he needs to relax.

He noticed Xiang Wen's movements through the affection value system and saw that she had drunk a lot of alcohol, so he decided to meet her on a whim.

"Her distress and worries have been going on for a while now. Let's put other things aside for now and not worry about them too much!"

Wei Lin strode in.

On nights when I miss you, I wish you were by my side...

On the bar's stage, a resident singer was shouting at the top of his lungs, and various beer and spirits sets were laid out on tables that were very close together.

The neon sphere at the top rotates, scattering bright stripes of light that illuminate every corner.

Inside the smoke-filled bar, patrons chatted animatedly or shouted along with the live singer.

Wei Lin sniffed, finding the smell somewhat pungent, and scanned the area, searching for his target.

corner.

A group of seven men and women had just opened a few bottles of beer and filled them up.

Xiang Wen neither listened to music nor talked to anyone; her gaze remained fixed on the entrance and exit of the bar.

The moment Wei Lin appeared, she saw him first.

A beige trench coat, a simple white shirt, and a pair of shiny black leather shoes.

Wei Lin's fashion sense is always on point.

His tall figure appeared suddenly, and many women in the bar subconsciously looked over.

With his high nose bridge, handsome face, thin lips, and bright, piercing eyes, he easily became the center of attention.

"It's him? To be honest, he's definitely much more handsome than Li Lan!"

Lin Ying commented.

Xiang Wen seemed not to hear, and had already stood up and waved at Wei Lin, her face filled with uncontrollable excitement.

She hadn't expected Wei Lin to actually come and be willing to attend her class reunion, but she was still a little nervous, unsure how to introduce Wei Lin later.

Boy friend?
It doesn't really seem like that, since Wei Lin has never acknowledged it. Just ordinary friends?
She could say that, but she was worried that people would see through her and keep asking her questions.

"If he doesn't have a girlfriend, if he's willing to admit it, if..."

Xiang Wen sighed inwardly.

"Wenwen's friend is quite good-looking; she's the kind of person you'll never forget at first glance!"

Jiang Yao, also Xiang Wen's high school classmate, has a cheerful and outgoing personality. With a lovestruck smile on her face, she said, "I don't know why, but I feel a kind of masculine strength and masculinity in him!"

"I don't know what's wrong with this society. There are many men who are clearly very handsome, but they give off a very effeminate feeling."

"Handsome men are already a scarce resource, and they're always hanging out together, making it hard for us women to find suitable partners."

Jiang Yao recently met someone she was attracted to. Before getting to know him, she liked him very much. But after getting to know him better, she discovered that the man actually knew how to put on makeup.

Jiang Yao lowered her head in a second.

Lately, every time she sees a handsome man, she secretly suspects that he is effeminate.

But Wei Lin gave her a different feeling.

She only glanced at it once, and even from a distance, but she immediately felt a raw, masculine aura emanating from it.

"Xiang Wen."

Wei Lin walked over, stopped next to Xiang Wen, and introduced himself loudly: "I'm Wei Lin!"

The bar was too noisy, so he kept his voice down, worried that the people at the table wouldn't be able to hear him.

“They were all my high school classmates, and we were the closest of the few of us.”

Xiang Wen pulled the chair next to him closer, gesturing for him to sit down first, and then introduced them to him: "Lin Ying, my best friend, childhood friend, and old classmate. Lu Dawei, our good older brother. Jiang Yao, our good older sister."

"This is Qian Yu, this is Zhang Meng, and this is Li Xing."

She only briefly mentioned the other three.

There were four women and three men. Among the pretty women, Xiang Wen and Jiang Yao were the only two. Zhang Meng was a chubby girl.

The three men were all of average appearance, the kind that would blend into a crowd and not attract much attention.

All six people looked at Wei Lin, and Wei Lin, under Xiang Wen's guidance, smiled and nodded at each of them before sitting down.

"Hey bro, can you drink?"

Lu Dawei, who initiated the dinner and drinking party, smiled casually and pushed a glass full of beer over before Wei Lin could even speak.

"Yes, you can drink it."

Without any hesitation, Wei Lin picked up his wine glass and stood up again, saying, "I'd like to toast everyone!"

"Great! That's awesome!"

Lu Dawei smiled broadly and winked at Qian Yu and Li Xing.

Next.

The three men reached a tacit agreement and frequently sought out Wei Lin for drinks.

Jiang Yao also noticed that they wanted to get Wei Lin drunk, so she kept picking up her glass and joining forces to drink with Wei Lin.

Wei Lin never refused anyone's offer of a drink; no matter who invited him, he would drink it all in one gulp.

It's just beer, nothing to worry about.

Given his current alcohol tolerance, beer is nothing to him, and he didn't drink any alcohol when he arrived, unlike Lu Dawei, Qian Yu, and others who had already downed several glasses of baijiu.

He was naturally not intimidated.

However, he also clearly sensed that the people at the table harbored malice towards him.

Through the images displayed by the affection value system, he could tell that Xiang Wen was in a bad mood. The people at the table seemed to care about Xiang Wen and knew that their relationship was quite good.

He already felt guilty, and these people didn't have any ill intentions towards Xiang Wen, so he accepted their malicious toasts with equanimity.

The wine was poured down glass by glass.

The group of people, who had drunk too much, saw that Wei Lin was behaving quite well, and gradually became less polite and distant, and started talking more.

"Wei Lin, Wenwen is our little sister. Did you betray her?"

Lu Dawei pulled up a stool and sat close to Wei Lin, his eyes still blurry with drunkenness. "Wenwen seemed really off when she heard you were coming. I've known Wenwen for years, and I've never seen her act like this with any man. Wei Lin, Wenwen is a good girl, don't let her down!"

Nobody's a fool. After Wei Lin sat down, Xiang Wen kept busy.

She poured wine for Wei Lin and brought him fruit from the table. When Wei Lin clinked glasses with everyone, her gaze towards him was like a drawn thread.

Anyone with eyes can see that she is deeply in love with Wei Lin, to the point of obsession.

Everyone immediately recognized that the man who had been making Xiang Wen so depressed recently was Wei Lin, who was sitting at the table.

They felt sorry for Xiang Wen and naturally wanted to stand up for her. Making her drink was only one aspect; another was that they wanted to give Wei Lin a warning.

"Brother Dawei, we're just ordinary friends, don't talk nonsense!"

Xiang Wen panicked, afraid that Wei Lin would be unhappy because of Lu Dawei's wording, and explained, "It's really not what you think! We met while traveling in Yazhou, and his mother and I are actually close friends despite our age difference. We just went to visit a few scenic spots together, that's all, please don't overthink it!"

However, no matter how she explained, the look in her eyes when she looked at Wei Lin betrayed her.

Jiang Yao smiled and teased, "Wenwen, are you really just a regular friend?"

Xiang Wen: "Just friends!"

Jiang Yao teased her on purpose, suddenly standing up from her seat, holding a wine glass, and walking up to Wei Lin, smiling brightly, "Wenwen, you'd better not regret this! Let me tell you, I also like men like Wei Lin! If you two are just ordinary friends, then I'm going to make my move on Wei Lin!"
