Sitting next to her, Xu Qu Qing slightly glanced at her. Her eyes are calm with no emotions in sight.
The game continued round after round until it reached Xu Qu Qing’s turn and the person asking her is Idle Person.
Xu Qu Qing chose the truth.
Idle Person stared at her for a long time before he asked, his voice tense, “Uh...Yan Xiao Sha, what type of person do you like?”
His intentions are obvious to everyone.
While everyone is making jeering sounds, Xu Qu Qing doesn’t seem the least bit surprised by this question. She smoothly and emotionlessly answered, “I like someone who is strong and calm and can make me feel safe.
Strong, calm, make her feel safe.
The person she is talking about, only Lu Wei Xi knows who it is.
Everyone is playing around happily all the way to ten in the evening. After playing truth or dare, everyone started talking about all kinds of KTV songs from “To Love Even in Death,” “Love in a Millennium,” and even “Pomp and Circumstance”.....it simply made her mistake that they have come to a KTV.
While in a state of confusion, Lu Wei Xi’s phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw Jian Chi’s name on the caller ID.
Feeling that the room is too noisy, she took her phone and walked out. Next to her, Xu Qu Qing noticed her movements and her eyes involuntarily dimmed. Idle Person who had been eying her for a long time saw that Lu Wei Xi walked out, immediately sat in her seat and racked his brain on how to get her attention.
Xu Qu Qing’s responses are cold, treating him like air. She looked down and finished her cup of beer. She stood up, walked to Purple Glass to bid her goodbye and arrogantly walked out of the room.
She already saw her and said her piece. There is no reason for her to stay any longer.
She doesn’t want to see him look at Lu Wei Xi with a rarely seen gentleness or see him hold her hand as they walk past her.
Her pride doesn’t allow herself to keep him.
If she can’t keep him….it’s time to let go.
——
Outside the room, Lu Wei Xi walked through the relatively quiet corridor. She coughed quietly a few times to clear her throat before she picked up the phone.
“Is the meetup over?” His low voice rang in her ear, like the vast clear spring flowing to her heart.
“Not yet, but it is almost over. Some people already left.”
Jian Chi paused for a second before a made a swift decision, “I’m coming to pick you up now. I’ll be there in around fifteen minutes.”
“En, okay. Be careful on the road.”
Lu Wei Xi revealed a satisfied smile before she hangs up.
When she returned inside, everyone is in upheaval. Lu Wei Xi pulled Xia Nuan away who was in the middle of playing Legends of the Three Kingdoms and whispered to her, “Jian Chi is coming to pick me up later. Do you want to return to the dorm with me?”

Drunk Xia Nuan’s brain crashed for a few seconds before she quickly reacted, “I don’t want to be the third wheel. I just told my cousin that I will stay over at her house tonight. Don’t worry about me.”
Lu Wei Xi stared at her blankly before she remembered that Purple Glass is Xia Nuan’s cousin. Feeling a little dizzy, Lu Wei Xi rubbed her eyebrows. “All right. I’ll go back in a little while, don’t stay out too late.”
When she returned to her seat, Xu Qu qing who was sitting next to her had disappeared. Lu Wei Xi silently stared at her vacant seat for a while and vagueness understood why she wanted to leave ahead of time.
It’s….probably because she doesn’t want to see her with Jian Chi right?
The alcohol began to rush up. Lu Wei Xi shook her head and began to pack up.
Free Magic Star notices her movement and regretfully asked, “Wei Xi you have to go too?”
“En….it’s getting late. The dorm will close soon.”
“Oh, okay. Let’s go out next time.”
“For sure.”
……
Lu Wei Xi originally planned to go outside and wait for Jian Chi before he came so that no one will see him.
However––although this idea is good, the next second, Lu Wei Xi heard the door open.
At this moment, the familiar man stood in front of the door, his dark and clear eyes carried some innate pride and alienation. His aura immediately killed the mood at present, so dazzling that it is unable to be ignored.
Lu Wei Xi had always known that Jian Chi’s features are very exquisite but for some reason, he looks very charming tonight. So charming that she wants to hide him so that no one can see him but her.
The earlier lively room at this moment is eerily quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Everyone’s eyes are focused on him but the object of everyone’s attention still remained unperturbed as if they are all empty air.
Lu Wei Xi stared at him in a daze. Only one phrase came to mind–––attention focus by millions of people.
