Meeting Pei Zhi Again While She Was Drunk

This way, they quickly finished half of the two sets of cocktails on the table.

Although the alcohol percentage was not high, it was inevitable that they would get drunk.

Pei Yilan's face was extremely red.

She pushed the plate of snacks to Lin Jiao and leaned back lazily. "Jiaojiao, eat something before continuing."

"Are you drunk?"

"How is that possible? This is just beginning."

Seeing that she was still clear-minded, Lin Jiao was relieved.

She picked up the silver fork and put a piece of fruit into her mouth. "We're not here to get drunk. It's enough."

Pei Yilan waved her hand. "We don't get the chance to gather like this. Let's get stoned." As she spoke, she ordered another set of cocktails.

This kind of cocktail was extremely deceptive. It looked harmless but in fact, it was very strong.

When she drank it, she did not feel anything, but after half an hour, Lin Jiao started to feel dizzy.

She patted her hot face and said while she was still in her right mind, "Yilan, we really can't drink anymore."

The surrounding music drowned out her voice. Pei Yilan, who was staring at the singer, did not hear her clearly.

She muttered, "Jiaojiao, this song is nice."

Lin Jiao turned around and looked at the singer.

He strummed the guitar and hummed a sad melody into the microphone. "Maybe love makes this moment gray. We're still as distant as ever…"

Outside the window, it started to rain again.

The raindrops, blown by the wind, slipped in from outside the window and splashed on Lin Jiao's shoulder.

She was immersed in the song, and her eyes, for some reason, turned red.

After the song ended, Pei Yilan, who was still not satisfied, looked at Lin Jiao from the side and her smile gradually froze.

She leaned forward. "Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"

Lin Jiao came back to her senses. "I'm fine." She held back her tears. "He sang very well."

"You like him?"

"Yeah."

Pei Yilan said, "Then I'll get him to come over to keep you company."

"What?"

"I'm going over there."

She pointed in a direction. Lin Jiao thought she was going to the washroom. "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need."

Pei Yilan took two steps before returning to get her bag. "Wait, I'll be right back."

She walked around the second floor but didn't see that singer. Just as she was about to go downstairs to look, she saw that singer from the corner of her eye.

The man sat in the booth on the left. The light and shadow separated his figure into two.

The closer she got, the easier it was to be attracted to him.

Pei Yilan found him a little familiar.

However, with her vision blurry and the light dim, she could not dredge up memories about him.

She thought of Lin Jiao, who was still waiting for her. She took out a card from her bag and threw it in front of him.

"Handsome, do me a favor."

Pei Zhi paused in the middle of lighting a cigarette.

He looked up and saw it was his niece. Seeing that she was so drunk that she could not even recognize him, he frowned.

"Hey, didn't you hear me?" Pei Yilan's attitude was extremely arrogant, and she did not notice his dark expression at all.

Her 'bold' behavior amused Chu Yuzhou. "Beautiful, what do you want him to do?"

"Drink."

"With whom."

Pei Yilan ignored him.

She took out another bank card from her pocket and threw it at Pei Zhi. "Here! Go and have a drink with my friend."

Pei Zhi was so angry that he almost laughed.

He slapped away the card on his lap and said in a cold voice, "Say that again?"

"Say what? Hurry up and go."

"Yilan!"

Lin Jiao rushed over to stop her from causing trouble.

She held Pei Yilan and was too embarrassed to look at them. "I'm sorry, my friend drank too much."

The moment she appeared, the anger in Pei Zhi's eyes was replaced by gentleness.

His voice softened. "How about you?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you drink too much too?"

This voice was overly familiar. Was he…

Pei Zhi?!

Lin Jiao suddenly opened her eyes wide as he looked at the man.

When their gazes met, she let out a gasp of surprise. "Uncle, you're here too."

"Jiaojiao, do you know each other?"

"What are you talking about? Isn't he your uncle?"

Pei Yilan was overly concerned about finding her a handsome man and helping her get over the break out. She did not even look at Lin Jiao.

She pushed Lin Jiao. "Go over and wait. I'll get you a handsome boy very soon."

The moment that figure pounced on him, Pei Zhi reached out and grabbed her waist. He helped her sit down and moved to the side like a gentleman.

He curled his knuckles and rubbed his thumbs.

In his heart, he was reminiscing about the touch that belonged to her, but his face was as cold as ice. "Pei Yilan, are you done messing around?"

Pei Yilan rolled her eyes. "Shut up."

She was so sleepy that she fell onto the sofa. Before she fell asleep, she didn't forget to remind Lin Jiao, "Jiaojiao, grab the opportunity."

"What opportunity?"

"Man, you know."

Pei Zhi glanced at Lin Jiao and asked casually, "Lin Jiao, just the two of you tonight?"

"Yes." Lin Jiao picked up the glass of 'water' on the table. She took a sip of it and started choking nonstop.

Pei Zhi quickly placed his palm on her back and patted her gently.

"This is vodka." He snatched the glass away, his face filled with worry and concern. "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's so spicy." Lin Jiao pursed her lips, feeling the spiciness rush from her throat to the top of her head.

She looked at him eagerly. "I want water."

When that pair of eyes were fixed on him, Pei Zhi lost his rationality and his heart softened.

"Okay, wait a minute." With that, he went to fetch water.

Chu Yuzhou shook his head, not knowing what to say about their interaction.

He puffed on his cigarette a few times. When Pei Zhi came back, he suggested, "Do you want to send her back first?"

Pei Zhi looked at Lin Jiao inquiringly.

"I can't walk." She held the glass with both hands and spoke slowly, as if she was a kitten that needed protection.

"Are you tired?"

"Yes, I can't even raise my hand."

Pei Zhi chuckled.

He knew that she was stoned, so he didn't even say anything like "You don't need hands to walk".

"Come on. I'll give you a piggyback."

"What about Yilan? Aren't you going to give her a piggyback?"

Lin Jiao's vision turned blurry. She was still thinking about Pei Yilan and did not want to leave her behind.

"Yuzhou will carry her."

"Where's Yuzhou?"

"I"m here," Chu Yuzhou said.

He walked up to Pei Yilan and wrapped her in a blanket before carrying her up. "I have to say, your little niece is quite heavy."
