Why are you always thinking about dating me?

But just now she said... she slept with a man? Back in junior high, Xiao Chacha would tell her in front of her what men were all like.

However, there was a hint of sweetness in Xiao Chacha's eyes, as well as a strange feeling of indifference towards herself.

Su Yuejin had no idea how panicked Lin An was, fearing that Xiao Chacha might suddenly say something like, "The man next to you is of good quality and provides excellent service."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

As Xiao Chacha said this, she sighed softly after a few seconds. She didn't want to argue with Su Yuejin. After apologizing to those girls yesterday, she gradually realized that she was the one who had been wrong all along.

"I apologize to you, Su Yuejin," Xiao Chacha said, her eyes very serious.

"Why are you apologizing to me?" Su Yuejin asked, somewhat surprised.

"I was immature and selfish before. I always thought about satisfying myself and making the people around me happy. But later I realized that I was wrong. I ignored other people's feelings too much, which made them feel resistant."

Xiao Chacha was speaking very seriously and apologizing very sincerely. If she hadn't taken off her little leather shoes and was rubbing Lin An's calves with her beautiful feet encased in black stockings, Lin An might have been moved by her.

Is this guy trying to die?!

Su Yuejin stared blankly at Xiao Chacha's serious expression. After a few seconds of silence, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, no need to apologize, Chacha, it's all in the past."

Xiao Chacha suddenly smiled, as if she had seen a snow melt away. Sure enough, Su Yuejin was still gentle, and also lonely.

After all, the two of them used to be very, very good friends.

But now, Xiao Chacha has no intention of becoming friends with Su Yuejin.

Because if they are true friends, they shouldn't tear each other apart to fight for something that only one person can have. Xiao Chacha thought to herself, but she gently raised her leg. Under the table, her beautiful black-stockinged foot was rubbing against Lin An's leg, and then slowly lifted it up, even placing it on Lin An's chair.

Su Yuejin seemed slightly tipsy, and since the bar wasn't very well lit, she didn't notice. Xiao Chacha continued, "So, it seems Lin An is your boyfriend now?"

Xiao Chacha smiled, but she turned her gaze to Lin An. Before Lin An could speak, Xiao Chacha's beautiful foot suddenly exerted force and stepped forward, stomping on Lin An's buttocks.

Lin An really wanted to punch her.

"No." Lin An could only shake his head.

Su Yuejin looked at Lin An's profile, pouted slightly, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "What's wrong with saying it in front of her? Do you have a crush on her?"

Lin An didn't answer, so Su Yuejin gave him a resentful look before turning to Xiao Chacha and replying, "No."

"But you two seem quite sweet together." Xiao Chacha said, her eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of playfulness in them. She looked at Lin An, finally putting her leg down again, but still playfully rubbing it against his leg. Then she simply put it back up, resting it on Lin An's lap.

Su Yuejin sipped her drink, while Lin An reached under the table, grabbed the girl's soft, delicate black-stockinged foot, and squeezed it hard.

Xiao Chacha was lazily drinking when he suddenly pinched her, causing her to cough and spit out some wine. Su Yuejin asked her what was wrong, and she could only reply that she had choked, but Lin An still didn't let go.

"Sister Chacha, what would you like to drink today? It's on me."

Lin An's smile was very gentle.

Really? Really?

"Really." Lin An nodded.

"Can I have eighteen years in Yamazaki?" Xiao Chacha winked at him.

"Okay." Lin An nodded with a smile.

Then Xiao Chacha actually ordered a bottle of Yamazaki 18-year-old, and even made sure Su Yuejin saw the price list. Su Yuejin's eyes widened, and while Xiao Chacha was getting the wine, she reached out and pinched his ear, "What do you mean?!"

"What do you mean?" Lin An asked her.

"That wine is so expensive, are you crazy? You're buying her a drink?! You really like her?"

"No." Lin An spread his hands.

"Then you'll invite her?"

"It's alright... not too expensive, and it's just for the three of us. It's just to make it sound nice." Lin An reached out and gently stroked her nose.

Su Yuejin looked into his eyes with some suspicion, but after confirming that his eyes were not lying, she hummed softly, "I'll treat you then."

"No need," Lin An shook his head.

Su Yuejin looked at him.

"It's nothing, we'll talk about it later."

Xiao Chacha went and came back with the wine, along with three glasses, each containing a piece of ice.

Her eyebrows were curved, and she looked very happy. Su Yuejin couldn't figure out what Lin An was thinking, but at Lin An's suggestion, she tasted the wine and her eyes turned into stars.

Xiao Chacha took the initiative to chat with Su Yuejin, talking about Su Yuejin's recent situation, but did not deliberately ask how she met Lin An. There are always many topics that two girls can talk about. Meanwhile, Xiao Chacha kept drinking with Su Yuejin, and both girls were already six or seven drinks in.

Xiao Chacha would occasionally rest her calves on Lin An's legs, and Lin An would occasionally pinch her soft, beautiful feet. Xiao Chacha's face would turn slightly red, but her reaction was not as intense as before.

Until Su Yuejin said she needed to go to the restroom.

After Su Yuejin left, Xiao Chacha stood up from her seat, walked to Lin An's side, and put one hand on Lin An's shoulder. "Hmph, you drink with her but won't play games with me."

"Yeah yeah."

"Is she fun?" Xiao Chacha asked.

"It's quite fun." Lin An nodded.

But Xiao Chacha sat on Lin An's lap without any restraint, then wrapped her arms around his neck and moved closer to him. Lin An stretched out a finger and put it to his lips.

"Please have some self-respect," he said with a smile.

"Isn't this exciting? Hehe."

"Really? Xiao Chacha?" Lin An's voice was calm.

"Yeah, it's funny to think about. Su Yuejin would never guess... that the person on top of you last night was me."

Xiao Chacha pried Lin An's fingers apart with a little effort, then moved closer, her nose touching his. She whispered, "Isn't something this exciting? Just like wine."

Then she got her wish and kissed his lips. In just seven or eight seconds, they had already exchanged a kiss. Her eyes were bright and captivating. She stood up and laughed happily and freely.

But Lin An just watched her quietly and indifferently as she turned around gently, her skirt swaying and spinning like a blooming flower.

She seemed a little drunk. Then she sat back down, put her legs on his lap, and asked, "Is Su Yuejin more fun, or is it more fun with me?"

"Are you a deep-sea fish?" Lin An reached out and tapped her forehead. Xiao Chacha looked innocent and naive, pure and lovely.

Su Yuejin returned from the restroom quickly. Lin An handed her a tissue, and the group continued drinking. Su Yuejin's head swayed slightly, and then she suddenly turned around.

She looked at Lin An, her eyes glazed over with drunkenness.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Kiss."

"You've had too much to drink." Lin An rubbed her head.

"That's exactly what I want."

Why?

“Prove to me… that you don’t like her.”

"Ok."

Having received the promise, Su Yuejin immediately leaned in and hugged his neck, then kissed his lips. Her kisses were never just light touches; she would only separate when her heart was pounding so hard she could hardly breathe and felt suffocated.

Xiao Chacha watched silently, seemingly indifferent, but a burning jealousy raged in her eyes and fermented in her heart, like spilled poison, like a punctured unripe grape, its sour juice flowing all over the ground.

Su Yuejin stuck out her tongue and licked the glistening water stains from the corner of her lips. She seemed indifferent, but there was a hint of smugness hidden in her eyes and smile.

Xiao Chacha looked disdainful.

However, her leg stretched out from under the table again and stepped on it, but this time Lin An's hand firmly grasped it. Lin An just smiled gently, squeezed her toes, and then let go.

"It's getting late, let's go." Lin An put his arm around Su Yuejin's waist and stood up with her.

Then Lin An walked to the front desk, where the bartender greeted him, "Are you leaving, Xiao An?"

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"Just deduct the cost of today's drinks from my share of this month's earnings, Uncle Lin," Lin An said. The bartender at the front desk nodded and smiled at him, "The cocktails are free, and we'll charge you the cost price for that Yamazaki."

"Okay." Lin An smiled, and Su Yuejin looked a little dazed before walking out with him.

"Huh?"

“When my adoptive father was still alive, I used the New Year’s money he gave me to buy one of the chain bars owned by his friend. I used to work part-time here and learn how to bartend. At that time, I had some money, so I bought a 30% stake. Now the bar is doing quite well.”

"Wow...that's amazing." Su Yuejin gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Lin An smiled helplessly and casually said, "Your friend Xiao Chacha is even dumber than you."

"You know that's good, hmph... wait, did you include me in your insults?"

"Hahaha." Lin An laughed as he looked at Su Yuejin's resentful gaze.

........................

In the bar.

Xiao Chacha finished her glass of wine, gritted her teeth angrily. There was still a little more than half of the Yamazaki wine left on the table. She was drinking it all by herself, and she was already seven or eight tenths drunk.

She felt a pang of sadness, and the image of them kissing just moments before kept replaying in her mind.

"Five hundred, after you take her home, come pick me up and take me home." She sent this message.

"Lin An has enabled friend verification. You are not yet his/her friend. Please send a friend request first. You can chat after the other party accepts your request. (Click to send friend request.)"

Xiao Chacha's expression froze, and the red exclamation mark was particularly glaring.

Chapter Fifty-Five Stimulation

The night was hazy, and the dim light of the streetlights stretched Su Yuejin's slender shadow long.

She was drunk again. Lin An actually liked her like this because she was cute. Su Yuejin was very cute when she was drunk. She lost her usual cold arrogance in front of ordinary people and became as cute as a little doll.

Lin An pinched her cheek. It would take her about thirty minutes to get home from here.

"Shall we walk home?"

"Okay." Lin An grabbed her hand, but Su Yuejin seemed unsatisfied. She wanted to link arms with Lin An. Lin An smiled helplessly, but obediently let her link arms with him. With his other hand, he took out a pair of Bluetooth earphones, connected them to his phone, and put one into her left ear.

Then he put one on himself, on his right ear, with a song playing in the earphone, Eason's "Stockholm Lover".

Su Yuejin had never heard this song before, but she liked the melody very much. The two of them walked along like this. The city night was starless, but the moonlight was bright tonight, and the light from the streetlights shone on her clean profile.

"Xiao Chacha is a bad girl. I'm not jealous, I'm just... I'm afraid you'll be fooled by her," Su Yuejin muttered softly, her voice trembling.
