Spring Night Kiss.

Xu Zhouye really had no way to deal with this girl.

As he handed the second glass of wine to Song Qingjia, he couldn't help but remind her, "Drink slowly, okay?"

Song Qingjia gave a lazy "hmm," it was unclear whether she had actually heard him.

Xu Zhouye reluctantly let go, but thankfully the girl was very well-behaved this time, taking small sips. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked the waiter to bring a fruit platter, placing it beside her.

Lu Yanbai watched from the side and couldn't help but sneer.

I really want to record it so that my friends in Beijing can see it.

After two drinks, even the best drinker gets a little tipsy. But alcohol is a wonderful thing; it can quickly numb the nerves and dull emotions.

Song Qingjia stood up, but swayed slightly from standing up too quickly.

Xu Zhouye reached out and supported her waist: "Where are we going?"

"Toilet."

"I'll go with you."

Song Qingjia was speechless: "I'm not a three-year-old child. Do I need someone to accompany me to the toilet?"

Xu Zhouye: "Even a three-year-old is more well-behaved than you."

However, despite saying that, he didn't intend to continue following, but instead gave Xu Wanran a wink.

Upon receiving the signal, the little girl immediately stood up and cheerfully helped Song Qingjia up, saying, "Sister, I'll go with you. I also just wanted to go to the restroom."

Watching the two figures leave, Lu Yanbai moved closer to Xu Zhouye and nudged him with his elbow.

"You're finished."

Xu Zhouye didn't respond, leaning back on the sofa and swirling his wine glass.

Lu Yanbai lowered his voice, his tone resolute, and emphasized again: "You're completely finished."

Xu Zhouye finally glanced at him and sneered, "I already said it was just for fun, why would you fall for it?"

Lu Yanbai truly admired this man's self-deception, but too lazy to expose him, he changed the subject: "Is the preseason testing in Bahrain about to start? When are you leaving?"

Next Wednesday.

"What about yours, which was just for fun?"

Xu Zhouye looked at him like he was an idiot: "What do you mean, what should I do? I'm just going abroad, not leaving Earth."

Lu Yanbai: "..."

-

The lighting in the restroom was so soft it was almost dizzying.

Song Qingjia leaned against the sink, closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, her reflection in the mirror showed a slightly unfocused gaze and a faint flush on her cheeks—signs that the strong liquor was starting to take effect.

She turned on the tap, and the cold water splashed onto her wrists, making her shiver.

Xu Wanran washed her hands next to her. After she finished, she didn't leave. Instead, she jumped to the sink and sat down, swinging her legs back and forth.

"Sister, how did you and my brother meet?" she asked with a hint of gossip.

Song Qingjia lied without batting an eye: "Introduced by a friend."

"You're lying." Xu Wanran chuckled, revealing two small tiger teeth. "My brother, would he go with someone a friend introduces him to? He used to be uninterested in any girls. My aunt was so angry she wanted to beat him up."

Song Qingjia did not respond.

Xu Wanran swung her legs and said to herself, "But I think he's different this time. The way he looks at you is like a dog guarding its food."

Song Qingjia chuckled and turned to look at her: "Does your brother know you're describing him like that?"

"He's not here," the little girl said matter-of-factly.

She jumped off the sink and moved closer: "Sister, how did you win him over? Teach me!"

Song Qingjia figured it out and glanced at her: "You have a target now?"

The little girl's face suddenly turned red, and she waved her hand in an attempt to cover it up: "No, no, I was just curious, please tell me."

Song Qingjia threw the tissue into the trash can and said lazily, "It's very simple."

Xu Wanran looked on with starry eyes, her face full of anticipation.

"Do you know how to walk the dog?"

"what?"

"That's how we got it."

"Um?"

Xu Wanran was completely bewildered, but Song Qingjia had already pushed open the door and left, so she had no choice but to jog to catch up.

The lights outside the corridor were dim. As soon as she ran out, she saw her sister Song stumble and was about to fall to the ground.

She was startled and quickly reached out to steady her. Before her fingertips could even touch her arm, another hand beat her to it, firmly gripping Song Qingjia's waist.

Thank goodness, I didn't fall.

She looked up at the person who had come, and paused for a moment.

He was a handsome man in a dark gray overcoat, with deep-set eyes, and his aura was completely out of place with the club's languid atmosphere.

Nie Yuhuai steadied Song Qingjia with a half-embrace and half-support, looking down at her; his expression wasn't good.

"How much did you drink?"

Song Qingjia had a bit of a headache and pushed him away: "Not much."

Nie Yuhuai withdrew his hand and looked at Xu Wanran, who was standing against the wall.

The little girl shivered, feeling a sudden chill.

She was spoiled by her family growing up and has always been unruly. The only person who can make her stand up straight with just a glance is her cousin Shen Yanhui, who is known as a tyrant.

Fortunately, the man only glanced at her before looking away and turning his gaze back to Song Qingjia.

"I'll take you back."

As he spoke, he put his arm around her again and led her out.

Xu Wanran's internal alarm bells rang: "Um... that..."

Song Qingjia was faster than her, shaking off the man's hand: "My boyfriend will take me home, no need for you to bother."

Nie Yuhuai's face darkened: "Boyfriend? A boyfriend who lets you drink like this and doesn't care?"

"It's none of your business." Song Qingjia didn't want to argue with him any longer, so she turned her head and called to Xu Wanran, "Ranran, let's go."

"Oh, okay." The little girl hurriedly followed.

She had only taken a few steps when Song Qingjia's wrist was grabbed again.

She turned around impatiently, about to speak, when a casual voice came from the other end of the corridor: "What are you all standing there for?"

The three of them looked over.

Nie Yuhua frowned, Song Qingjia had a headache, while Xu Wanran breathed a sigh of relief.

Her brother has finally arrived!

Xu Zhouye walked over with his hands in his pockets, his gaze falling on Song Qingjia's wrist that was being held. He had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Brother, we were just about to go back when we ran into this strange man..." the little girl whispered.

Xu Zhouye hummed in agreement and said slowly, "Sir, how much longer are you going to hold onto my girlfriend?"

Although she was speaking to Nie Yuhuai, her gaze remained fixed on Song Qingjia's face.

The woman's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were shimmering with moisture. She was staring intently at him, showing absolutely no embarrassment at being caught.

Right, how did the word "embarrassment" end up being associated with her?

Anyway, that's always how she acts, so self-righteous.

Song Qingjia herself didn't feel justified; she just wanted to leave this strange scene as soon as possible.

"Let go," she said coldly.

Nie Yuhuai paused for a moment, then released his grip as instructed.

Upon seeing this, Xu Zhouye immediately pulled her into his arms, placing his palm against her waist to assert his ownership.

Song Qingjia: "..."

Nie Yuhuai's expression darkened further; he clenched and unclenched his fists, his voice remaining indifferent: "Aren't you going to introduce me?"

Xu Zhouye spoke up again, "Xu Zhouye, her boyfriend."

Song Qingjia did not refute.

"Who are you?" he asked lazily again.

Nie Yuhuai looked at the two of them: "Nie Yuhuai, Qingjia's older brother."

Surname Nie? Brother?

Xu Zhouye frowned slightly, and in an instant he guessed the other party's identity: Nie Qingyuan's son, young and promising, with a net worth of billions.

That look in his eyes... he doesn't look like a brother at all.

"Honey, why have I never heard you mention this before?" he suddenly asked with a smile, looking down at her.

The sound of "baby" made the corridor even quieter.

This made Nie Yuhuai purse his lips even tighter.

Song Qingjia took a deep breath to suppress the urge to punch Xu Zhouye.

"Have you finished talking?"

Xu Wanran secretly gave this sister she had just met a thumbs up in her heart. In this strange and chaotic situation, she didn't even dare to say a word, yet this sister still dared to ask such a question.

How provocative!

"If my darling says we're done talking, then we're done talking," Xu Zhouye continued to laugh.

Song Qingjia: "Okay."

She pried his fingers off his waist one by one, pulled Xu Wanran away, and left. The two of them ignored each other.
