88 Gu Quan Called Her Jiaojiao When He Was Drunk
“Two glasses.” Even if Gu Quan won, he still drank, as if he was determined to get stoned tonight.
After Song Zhen finished singing a few songs with the pretty chicks, he collapsed on the sofa. “Are you two competing in drinking? Why did you drink so much?”
“Brother Quan wants to drink.”
He Qi’s face was all red from the effects of the wine.
He kicked away the empty wine bottle on the table. He was so tired that he just wanted to lie down. “Help me get a room.”
“It’s only eleven o’clock and you’re already sleeping?”
“I’m too sleepy.”
Song Zhen found two friends and asked them to carry him to the hotel next door to prevent him from catching a cold.
He sat beside Gu Quan and patted him on the shoulder. “Are you still in the mood to drink?”
Gu Quan glanced at him and finished the wine in his glass.
He leaned back and looked at the colorful lights on the ceiling, his thoughts chaotic.
The voices around him were like mosquitoes buzzing in his ears, making him dizzy. In just a moment, he had the urge to leave.
“I’ll go back first.”
“Can you go back alone? I’ll get Su Tian to pick you up.”
“No need.” He stood up and slowly put on his jacket before walking out.
Song Zhen followed worriedly.
Holding Gu Quan’s arm, he walked to the door of Bo Yu Club and called for a designated driver. “Tell me when you get home.”
“Yeah.” Gu Quan rubbed his eyebrows.
He opened the back window to get some air, but he only felt drunker. When he returned to Lufu Bay, his eyes were totally unfocused.
“Why did you drink so much?” Su Tian, who had received Song Zhen’s call, waited for him at the door.
She raised his right arm and placed it on her shoulder. She hugged his waist and walked upstairs.
“I didn’t drink too much.” Gu Quan walked into the bedroom before remembering to answer her question.
The smell of alcohol on him made Su Tian blush.
She looked up at him and deliberately tripped over the moment he fell onto the bed.
“Quan,” she called out to him softly.
Gu Quan opened his eyes with difficulty.
He looked at her for a long time, then subconsciously tightened his grip on her shoulder.
“Do you want to kiss me?” Su Tian raised her chin and rubbed it against his ear.
Her charming voice made Gu Quan, who was not in his right mind, fall for her.
He turned his head and kissed her red lips.
The ambiguous atmosphere was about to induce Gu Quan to do something when she suddenly pushed him away.
“Give me a minute.” Su Tian returned to her room and found the red ink that had not been used yet.
She placed the ink bottle on the bedside table and held his hand close to her back. “Quan, can you help me unbutton it?”
Gu Quan narrowed his eyes, exhausted.
He lowered his hand to touch his dry throat and kissed her lips again. “Jiaojiao, get me a glass of water.”
“What did you call me?”
Su Tian’s mind went blank.
She straightened up and asked again while staring at his face, afraid that she would miss a word.
“Jiaojiao.” Gu Quan held her hand and pulled her into his arms. He stroked her cheek gently. “Be good. Don’t throw a tantrum.”
Su Tian was trembling with anger.
Even though she could not see the emotions in his eyes, she could clearly feel his feelings at this moment.
She got out of bed with red eyes. Unable to accept being treated as someone else, she took the bottle of red ink and slammed the door.
“Jiaojiao…” He went on muttering.
“I’m not her!” Su Tian roared at the white wall that isolated them.
She swept away the bottles on the dressing table in a fit of anger.
She only calmed down when the glass shards hit her ankle and cut her skin.
After a long time, she went downstairs to pour a glass of warm water and pushed open the door next door.
“Quan, I brought you water.”
Gu Quan was about to fall asleep.
He was helped up and leaned against the bed to drink half a glass of water.
“Jiaojiao, good night.” He looked at her again and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
Su Tian tightened her grip on the glass.
She suddenly laughed, the ruthlessness in her eyes terrifying under the night light.
“Jiaojiao, It’s time I settle the scores with you,” she put down the glass and said to herself.

At noon on the day of work.
Pei Yilan carried the thermos to the planning department.
She sent Lin Jiao a WeChat message and walked straight to the resting area. Looking out the window and facing the warm sun, she revealed a happy smile.
“What are you smiling foolishly at?” Lin Jiao happened to catch the smile on her face when she came over.
“This is called a sweet smile, okay?”
“How sweet?”
“Especially sweet.”
Pei Yilan opened one of the thermos containers and pushed it in front of her. “We hugged many times when we were skiing.”
“Isn’t that normal?”
Lin Jiao scooped up a spoonful of rice. “Wrestlers hug each other too when they are wrestling.”
“But we’re not wrestlers.” Pei Yilan recalled the scene and smiled even more brightly.
“Other than hugging?”
“They even held hands.”
Lin Jiao smiled and teased, “Didn’t you find a chance to kiss him secretly?”
“I did.”
“How you failed?”
Pei Yilan nodded. “That’s my only regret.” If she had kissed him, she would probably be jumping around joyfully.
“Anyway, if you plan to chase him for a year, you’ll definitely get a chance to get what you want.”
“I should be able to get it this week.”
“Are you guys going out to play again?”
Lin Jiao clicked on the message that popped up on the screen. When she saw that it was from Yan Jingshun, she lost interest.
She replied “I’m eating” curtly before checking if Pei Zhi had replied to her.
Seeing that he still hadn’t replied to her message, she was silent for two seconds before turning off the screen.
“He’s going to join the film crew the day after tomorrow.” Pei Yilan said, “I plan to kiss him when I go visit him.”
“Aren’t you afraid of scaring him away?”
“Don’t foreigners always kiss each other on the cheek when they meet?”
At the mention of foreigners, Lin Jiao recalled Ven Olle’s expression when he found out that she had never kissed anyone.
She suddenly asked, “What does it feel like to kiss?”
“It depends on who you kiss.”
Pei Yilan took two sips of pork trotter soup. “When I was in a relationship with my ex-boyfriend, I found it very strange when he leaned towards me.”
“Then why did you kiss him?”
“I wanted to try that feeling.” She couldn’t help but frown. “Maybe I don’t like him, so I can’t stand it after trying it once.”
Lin Jiao asked, “I heard from others that kissing is sweeter than eating candy.”
“Is that so?”
“I’ve never tried it before. I’m not sure.”
The more Pei Yilan looked at her, the more she felt that something was not right.
She looked puzzled. “Why do you want to kiss after coming back? Did Yan Jingshun say something to you?”
“No.” Lin Jiao was calm when she heard her mention Yan Jingshun. “I’m just curious.”
