In the bar, Jiang Yirui was sitting at the counter. He drank glass after glass, all of them colorful cocktails made by the bartender.

The dim light reflected on his pale skin, making his fingers look longer than more slender. His head was lowered slightly, and his side profile was as elegant as jade with a cold aura exuding from his body.

“How many girls have already gone up to him to strike up a conversation?” Wang Qiming and the group of them had not gone into the box, but decided to sit down at a table near a corner where they could see Jiang Yirui from.

Tang An took a sip from his corn juice, and couldn’t help but think about it when Wang Qiming mentioned it. “Probably about ten, I can’t remember, there’s just too many.”

“Thirteen.” Jiji glanced at Jiang Yirui, taking a sip of its own wine. “If you add this one, then it’s a total of fourteen.”

“Tch, it’s only been half an hour since we sat down, and so many people have gone up to him. They really dare to go even with the pressure that he’s exuding.” Tang An took another sip of corn juice. “But our Egg only has eyes for one person.”

“But, why did he suddenly want to drink?” Tang An slid his finger around the top of his glass. “Doesn’t his own house have a bar counter?”

“I’m not sure. You were with him the entire day, Jiji, what happened to him?” Wang Qiming turned his piercing gaze to Jiji.

Jiji ate a piece of watermelon as it replied, “Heartbreak.”

“Heartbreak? He had such a thing? Tang An almost choked on his drink.

“I’ve never seen anyone who comes to the bar and drinks corn juice,” Jiji replied instead, looking at Tang An with contempt clear in its eyes.

Tang An shot him a deadpan look. “I’ve never seen a robot that can eat and drink. Just wait, I’ll be sure to send you into a research lab one day!”

“I can’t help but ask for that too, it’s sad that I can’t change my body.” Jiji’s eyes lit up when it heard this, its eyes sparkling like stars in the sky!

Tang An: “…” It was his loss.

“Wait a minute.” Wang Qiming suddenly made a pause gesture with his hands. “It can’t be that the person our Young Master Rui likes, is that girl, Beini, right?!”

He pulled out his phone, sending the files in it to Tang An to see. “Look at this girl, although she looks pure and beautiful, her reputation is seriously bad. This is something one of my good friends specifically told me in confidence. Has Young Master Rui’s taste gotten so bad?”

“No, no.” Tang An waved his hand. “I had the same thought as you before this, but then I realized today and it wasn’t.”

“How do you know?” Wang Qiming asked as he poured himself a glass of wine.

“I guessed it.” Tang An smiled. “I think the person that Egg likes looks like Yang Beini.”

“Pft!” Wang Qiming spat out the wine that he had just taken a sip from. “Do you think this is a haunted movie?!”

Tang An merely smiled in response, not saying anything else. His eyes were narrowed slightly, as though seriously pondering the possibility of what was just said.

Jiji took a big gulp of wine, before looking at Tang An silently.

“Speaking of which.” Tang An said, a bright smile on his face. “Egg seems to be getting along really well with Yearning in the online game?”

“Enough, let’s not guess anymore.” Wang Qiming put away his phone. “I always thought that Young Master Rui has a story behind him.”

“Let’s go, Jiji.” Jiang Yirui stood up. He had drunk countless glasses of wine tonight, but his eyes remained as clear as ever.

The bartender had watched and was well aware how many glasses this young man had drunk, but seeing him able to stand without staggering, and how clear his eyes were, he started to doubt whether or not the drinks he made were not strong enough, and were just water!

In the girls’ dormitory in A University, Xiao Yichen had just returned today after she had taken leave. She saw Tan Yongsi with her hand bandaged up the moment she stepped into the room. “Sisi, what happened? Who beat you?”

“Pui!” Ye Xuan almost spat out the water that she had been drinking. “You need to read more books, big sis. Do you know what this is? These are burn marks! Burn! Marks!”

“Okay, burns. I get it.” Xiao Yichen nodded her head. “What did you do to get such serious burns!”

“I just got careless, I’m fine.” Tan Yongsi waved her hand at them, assuring them that she was indeed fine.
