LWMBCFD: Chapter 6

Dark Night’s soundproofing was superb in quality. As soon as you step into the karaoke booth, all disturbances outside disappear without a trace.

“Jiu Jiu, Qian Qian, let’s go get some food. You and Xihe can stay here and chat, remember to watch our bags.”

“I-” He Qianyu wanted to stay, but Shui Nen pulled her away.

Outside of the booth, Shui Nen talked to He Qianyu: “Qian Qian, you know Guo Chuhan only has eyes for Xihe. Why do you continue to make yourself suffer? Although love can be cultivated, some men aren’t so easy to conquer. Instead of hanging on a tree that isn’t yours, why not go into the forest and find a better one?”

He Qianyu didn’t reply, quickly switching the topic.

Stubbornness is a fatal illness for those in love, it can’t be cured with just a few words.

……

Inside the booth.

Lin Xihe and Guo Chuhan sat diagonally from each other, nobody talked. For some time, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Soon as Guo Chuhan would ask a question, Lin Xihe would give a brief response. It was like they were playing a question-and-answer game.

I’m afraid that nobody would believe they’ve known each other for eight years.

Lin Xihe was uncomfortable, readily drinking from the wineglass in her hand. Guo Chuhan intended to remind her that she’d had a lot to drink. Although it wasn’t a strong drink, she has a bad alcohol tolerance, so she was already a bit tipsy.

“The delicious food has arrived! Hurry and lend me a hand!” Shui Nen stands in the doorway, carrying a large tray of crabs and lobster. 

Guo Chuhan quickly walked over to assist.

Lin Xihe inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn’t accept Guo Chuhan’s feelings for her, but she didn’t want to hurt him. Just as Shui Nen said, Guo Chuhan was truly a rare and excellent specimen!

“Shoot, I need to go use the restroom.”  Lin Xihe, using the bathroom as an excuse, left the karaoke booth.

“Ah-” Shui Nen wanted to call out to her, but she’d already left the room. Shui Nen turned towards Guo Chuhan, cheering him on, “You know, I’m really optimistic about you!”

Guo Chuhan smiled gracefully. “Thank you.”

Instead of going to the bathroom, Lin Xihe walked to the courtyard. It was a small garden in the center of Dark Night, but there weren’t many people there. It’s fun to play around at Dark Night, but it’s too boring to look at the scenery.

Tonight is the 15th day of the lunar calendar, the moon full. Sitting alone and admiring the moon, it truly has a very special feeling. Only the full moon represents reunion, she can’t help but think of her mother and Jiang Junxun. Thinking of him, she becomes somewhat dispirited.

The death of her mother made it clear to Lin Xihe, that marriages between the rich and powerful have always, only been for the benefits. Compared with those benefits, love isn’t even worth mentioning.

So she had chosen an ordinary but ambitious, Jiang Junxun. But she didn’t pay attention, and in return, she was thoroughly deceived.

Gradually, Lin Xihe felt the alcohol taking effect.

To avoid a bad situation, she adjusted her emotions and stood to walk back to the booth. Her mind was still clear, but her limbs were being somewhat disobedient.

The light was dim and she couldn’t see the ground properly, so her steps were a bit shaky. Because she couldn’t see well, her next step was on empty air, making her body fall forward.

Lin Xihe, who was mentally prepared for the bruises, found something holding her up. Steadying herself, she looked up hazily, subconsciously narrowing her eyes. “Thanks.” In order to show her gratitude, she gives a faint smile.

As Pei Yiheng looked down at the intoxicated woman, a single thought flashed through his mind: slightly drunk is very charming!
