The three of them sat down, while Sheng Qiming stood. He glared at Shao Huaizhi with his red and swollen eyes, refusing to believe that Shao Huaizhi would dare to say anything.

Shao Huaizhi did not tell the whole story. He said casually, "Last time I ran into him by the lake, he stopped Lin Su and said a lot of nasty things."

Sheng Qiming's eyes flashed. "That was all in the past. I will never do it again."

Zong Yan ignored him, and while pouring the wine, said, "You'd better not know how."

After finishing his drink, he clapped his hands, said goodbye, and left.

He Zaizhou lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought, and then left.

Sheng Qiming caught Shao Huaizhi, who hadn't left, and questioned him, "What do you want to do? Why are you bringing this up again after all this time?"

Shao Huaizhi showed no sign of leaving. He frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Why do you like her?"

Sheng Qiming instantly bristled, "I would never like her! Who said I like her?"

Shao Huaizhi: "..."

Shao Huaizhi smirked, "Is it fun to lie to yourself?"

Sheng Qiming's eyes darted around in panic. He protested, "I really don't like her. Stop slandering me."

Shao Huaizhi: "If you don't like her, why kiss her?"

Sheng Qiming: "I'm just curious, is it wrong to be curious?"

Shao Huaizhi looked at him. "So, has your curiosity been satisfied?"

Sheng Qiming's eyes darted around, and he stammered, "No." Could he really say that the more they kissed, the more he wanted to kiss her?

Shao Huaizhi poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then asked, "What did it feel like to kiss you?"

"It's so sweet..." Sheng Qiming's belated drunkenness kicked in. He had been forced to drink quite a bit by Zong Yan earlier, and now his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were filled with a clear, watery light, and his expression was beautiful and longing.

He seemed to be reminiscing, recalling the sweetness of his kiss with Lin Su.

Shao Huaizhi finished the wine in his glass. The wine tasted a bit astringent at first, but it seemed to have a sweet aftertaste, which made his expression darken.

"Was she there voluntarily?" he asked in a deep voice.

Sheng Qiming lay on the table, pursed his lips, and said, "Even though she doesn't want me, I don't mind that she's not good-looking."

"You forced her?"

"I didn't, she wouldn't let me kiss her..." Sheng Qiming said, already crying. Large, glistening tears slid down his cheeks. Even a handsome man crying was pitiful.

Unfortunately, there was no one here to pity him. Shao Huaizhi didn't want to take care of the drunkard. Anyway, it was safe to stay here, so he got up and left.

Sheng Qiming lay on the table and cried for a while. When he felt pain in his eyes, he touched them, but the pain woke him up.

He clutched his right eye, sat on the ground and cried out in pain. When he looked up, he saw that he was the only one left in the private room. "A bunch of heartless bastards," he cursed inwardly.

Sheng Qiming got up from the ground, then sat on the sofa next to him, feeling dizzy. After enduring the dizziness for a while, he took out his phone and made a call.

After returning home, Lin Su washed a plate of grapes for herself and is now sitting cross-legged on the floor of her study, reading and eating grapes at the same time.

She had just turned a page of her book when her phone rang. She answered, "Hello?"

"Zong Yan hit me, it hurts so much, please come and save me..." A man's tearful, coquettish voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Su was taken aback. "Sheng Qiming?"

"It's me, please come and save me." Sheng Qiming lay on the sofa groaning. He was still drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a sound.

"Where are you? Let me call 120 for you," Lin Su said after thinking for a moment.

"I don't want an ambulance, I want you. Your boyfriend beat me up, shouldn't you comfort me?" Sheng Qiming snorted.

"...If you don't need it, I'll hang up."

"Hang me? You dare..."

"Beep!" The sound of the phone being hung up came from his ear. Sheng Qiming's eyes froze, his hand loosened, and the phone hit his high nose bridge.

He cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face again, and the redness and swelling around his eyes intensified.

"Ouch..." He cursed everyone in pain.

After Lin Su finished eating the grapes, she took the fruit plate to the kitchen to wash and put it away. When she returned to her study, her phone rang again. She answered, "Feeding?"

Shao Huaizhi: "Are you free? Let's meet at the school dormitory."

"Is there something wrong? I..." Lin Su was fidgeting with her fingers when he interrupted her before she could finish speaking, "Yes, there is."

"Okay." His tone was somewhat forceful, and Lin Su subconsciously agreed. After hanging up the phone, she pursed her lips.

Lin Su felt something was off about Shao Huaizhi during their last meeting, and she was inexplicably scared, so she didn't want to meet him alone again.

But she was the one who took the initiative to befriend him, and now that he needs her help, she can't refuse.

Half an hour later, Lin Su stood at the dormitory door and knocked. After knocking twice, Shao Huaizhi opened the door from the inside.

There was a faint smell of coffee in his room, which Lin Su noticed as she passed by. He was wearing a white sweater today, and he looked quite handsome with a gentle smile.

The cup of water that Shao Huaizhi handed her also contained coffee. "Try it, it's freshly picked up from the coffee beans."

Lin Su relaxed a bit because of his normal attitude today. She lowered her head, took a sip, and praised it with somewhat limited words: "It's very delicious."

Shao Huaizhi laughed and said, "Don't you find it bitter? Would you like some sugar?"

Lin Su looked up and handed him the cup. "Then let's add some sugar."

Shao Huaizhi added a piece of rock sugar to her drink, stirred it, and handed it to her. Lin Su drank it and it wasn't so bitter anymore. After drinking it, her mouth felt a little sweet.

"I heard Sheng Qiming gave you an apartment?" Shao Huaizhi asked casually.

Lin Su knew he would know, and that he probably called her over today to ask about this. She stammered, "Yes."

"An apology? That's a good reason." Shao Huaizhi looked up at her, "But the real reason shouldn't be that, right?"

Lin Su lowered her head. "I don't know either."

"He kissed you, and you didn't know?"

"That was an accident," Lin Su explained softly. "I've made myself forget it, so you should forget it too."

"I was just talking to Zong Yan and the others about what happened by the lake that day."

Lin Su looked up at him, her eyes wide. "You promised you wouldn't tell."

Shao Huaizhi: "I didn't mention that you two almost kissed."

Why did he bring this up? Was it just to scare people?

Shao Huaizhi was right. He thought he was really getting bored, and his daily life seemed to really need some changes.

"Sheng Qiming is still bothering you, right?" Shao Huaizhi looked at her. "I'll take care of him for you."

"How do we solve this?" Lin Su was startled, and her mind instantly conjured up a number of brutal images, although these brutal images did not match the handsome man in front of her.

Shao Huaizhi laughed and said, "Let him go out and play for a few more months."

"Thank you." Lin Su expressed her heartfelt gratitude, realizing that she had truly misunderstood him; he was still as kind as ever.

Shao Huaizhi glanced at her, then lowered his eyes. "You're welcome."

He's been finding fault with Sheng Qiming lately, making a ruckus and trying to get attention.
