Since some things have already been made clear, it would be boring to pretend anymore.
Alex pulled Lucy to sit in the corner. He played with her slender fingers with his left hand and wrapped his right arm around her tiny waist, feeling extremely comfortable.
Lucy didn't resist. There were reasons for this. One was the effect of alcohol - she had drunk nearly ten glasses just now.
The other was that Alex's performance in the game was far better than what she had expected at best, and she was overjoyed at the moment.
Honestly, when it comes to men's fantasies about beautiful women, it's really not a big deal nowadays.
Girls nowadays, as long as they have a bit of experience, won't take men's reasonable daydreams seriously.
Lucy is just relatively innocent, not stupid or ignorant. She doesn't care whether Alex has had those thoughts or even actions. As long as he doesn't lie, they can continue to get along.
And Alex's performance really took her by surprise. He was honest, generous, and had a proper amount of dominance, which was extremely charming.
Especially when Alex asked "Do you like me?" and then directly drank the wine, Lucy felt her heart trembling.
His originally ordinary face now looked more and more attractive to her. Lucy knew that she was falling for him.
It wasn't a sudden love at first sight but a process of being conquered bit by bit.
It's not her fault for being so innocent. After all, all her girlfriends were full of praise for Alex. Weiwei said he was charming. Yuanyuan said he might be a playboy in relationships but was a nice person.
Sister Xue said one should seize the opportunity when it comes. Reyina Wu didn't say anything, but her eyes were fixed on him. Even Han Luzhou praised him for being rich and not being fussy.
He was good in every aspect and they had fate. So it had to be him.
Lucy, who was completely immersed in the sweetness, not only didn't avoid Alex's embrace but also snuggled closer to him.
The alcohol was taking effect, and she felt a wave of heat rising from deep inside her body, making her feel lazy and not wanting to move.
"Hmm..."
Actually, Alex wasn't the kind of person who always followed the rules. But the occasion wasn't right now.
If he went too far, it would be disrespectful. Moreover, he was already enjoying the current situation.
That tiny waist trained by years of dancing was really fascinating.
The two of them were being affectionate when everyone over there finally dispersed and started doing their own things.
Some were singing, some were drinking, some were chatting, and those who wanted to flirt with girls were looking for opportunities on their own, carrying out liberalism to the fullest.
There were many beautiful girls in the room. The new boys didn't seem to regard Lucy as their pursuit target, so few people came to disturb Alex. Well, few doesn't mean none.
First, Wang Xue and Han Luzhou came over with wine glasses in their hands to greet Alex and said they were leaving first.
Wang Xue was quite calm. "We are usually so busy that it's rare for us to get together. So we won't accompany you to have fun. We'll have lunch together tomorrow noon to see you off."
"Okay." Alex didn't say much. He just drank the wine and watched them leave.
When they were going out, Han Luzhou couldn't help sighing, "This guy really doesn't look like a high school student."
Wang Xue's comment was quite to the point. "Actually, he may not have seen much of the world.
It's just that he has good self-restraint and can hold his temper. In a few years, he'll surely be remarkable. Little Lucy is really lucky."
After Wang Xue and her husband left, a man and two women also left. Alex didn't know them.
Now there were five boys and seven girls left in the private room, and the space became much more spacious.
However, Reyina Wu thought it wasn't spacious enough. She ran over and sat beside Lucy, pushed her inwards a couple of times, and then pulled her out of Alex's embrace and hugged her herself.
"Come on, let me hug her for a while too!"
Not to mention that Alex was grinding his teeth in anger, even Lucy was quite unhappy and rolled her eyes vigorously.
"Go and hug Weiwei and Yuanyuan, okay?"
"They are not as cute as you!" Reyina Wu didn't care at all and even invited Alex to drink. "Come on, Alex, cheers!"
Alex was speechless and took a sip of wine. Before he could say anything, someone suddenly sat down beside him.
Alex turned around and was gently nudged by Lucy, and then he understood. So Reyina Wu came here to hide from someone.
The person who came was a young man in his early twenties. His hair was messy but stylish.
He wore a very individual earring on his ear. He was fashionably dressed, good-looking, and had a bit of a ruffian air in his expression.
Alex didn't know why Reyina Wu was hiding from him. But since he was already here, he might as well help deal with it. He couldn't just pull Lucy and leave, could he?
"Alex." He replied casually and raised his glass as a gesture. "Have a drink?"
"Guo Zihao, a native of the old imperial capital. You don't look like a local. Where are you from?"
Guo Zihao had a strong smell of alcohol on him. He was extremely excited. He wasn't drunk but obviously tipsy.
"From a small place." Alex took a sip of wine and responded indifferently.
Normally, if someone clearly doesn't want to interact with you, a sensible person would leave at this time.
But on the drinking occasion, there aren't many people who are that sensible when they are drunk.
As soon as Guo Zihao heard that Alex was from out of town, his sense of superiority couldn't be suppressed.
He asked condescendingly, "Young man, are you classmates with Reyina Wu and the others?"
"Friends of friends."
"What a coincidence! I'm a friend of Weiwei's brother. Since we meet, it's fate. Let's have a drink?"
Alex watched Guo Zihao finish his drink before he accompanied him with a glass.
Guo Zihao was the kind of person who would stir up trouble after drinking.
"Just drinking like this is so boring. Reyina Wu, young man, let's play something to liven things up!"
Reyina Wu and Lucy whispered to each other, pretending not to hear.
Alex directly refused, "Brother Guo, I can drink with you, but forget about playing games. I don't know how to."
After a while, a girl, probably An Lu, sat down next to Guo Zihao, sticking to him.
She pulled Fu Yushi, and after Fu Yushi sat down, another young man came over with a wine glass and stood on the opposite side of the coffee table.
There were seven people gathered around the corner area of the sofa.
On the other side of the private room, an unknown girl was pulling Lin Weiwei and Lu Yuanyuan to sing, and two boys were cheering them on.
It seemed that their target was the rich and beautiful Lin Weiwei.
Look at this! What a mess!
The nice little world for the two of them was suddenly broken and they became the focus again. It was all Reyina Wu's fault.
Alex glared at her angrily. She shrank her neck, stuck out her tongue, and showed a sweet smile as if begging for mercy.
This Xinjiang girl was really good-looking. She, like Fu Yushi and Lin Weiwei, had people chasing after her.
An Lu, on the other hand, could only take the initiative to flirt with guys, while Lu Yuanyuan was just singing on her own.
She was being cute to Alex, and neither Alex nor Lucy had the heart to blame her. Lucy pinched her on the waist as a punishment.
Everyone exchanged greetings and had another drink. Guo Zihao was just about to propose playing a game again when suddenly he was dazzled by the light reflected from Alex's watch.
"Young man, your watch is nice. Where did you buy it?"
"It's a fake. Just wearing it for fun."
The lights in the private room were dim. Although Alex was wearing Hermès, they were not basic styles and had no conspicuous logos, so it was hard to tell.
Guo Zihao didn't realize that Alex, the big spender, didn't want to bother with him. He just thought that the out-of-town kid was showing his timidity and was immediately happy.
"Good for you! Whether it's real or fake, knowing how to play with watches is stylish! People in the old imperial capital like to play with things.
In the past, it was flower-and-bird walnuts and bead strings of King Kong sandalwood yellow. But those are too old-fashioned. We young people should play with watches!"
The young man opposite timely complimented, "That's right, Brother Guo. Your Green Water Ghost watch can't be bought even if you add more money now."
A man of the world, so particular!
Guo Zihao was beaming with satisfaction. He took off his watch with his left hand and handed it to
Alex generously. "Young man, take it and have a look. If it gets scratched or bumped, it's on me!"
Reyina Wu and Lucy suddenly looked at each other, feeling that this sentence sounded familiar.
Huh?
It seemed that Alex had said something similar at noon. However, Guo Zihao's attitude was really unpleasant.
They were both novices when it came to watches and had no idea what the Green Water Ghost meant.
Looking at Guo Zihao's manner, they even thought it might be more expensive than Alex's Patek Philippe.
Alex was also a novice when it came to watches. After deciding to buy a watch, he only checked the top ten brands. There were so many watch models that he couldn't possibly look through them all.
So he directly set a price range for inquiry - between 200,000 and 750,000 yuan. Therefore, he had no impression of this watch with a very individual green dial.
Oh, could it be a million-yuan-class watch of someone's?
Of course, Alex wasn't worried. Spending money was nothing to him. Buying a million-yuan-class watch every month was like a piece of cake for him.
But in such a chaotic occasion, a normal person would definitely not get involved in this kind of trouble.
"No, it's not appropriate." Alex refused immediately and even leaned back a little.
Seeing that Alex didn't dare to touch it, the young man opposite sneered and took the watch, playing with it fondly.
"Brother Guo, this watch would cost 80,000 yuan even for a second-hand one now. Tsk, it's really beautiful!"
Guo Zihao was flushed with pride and looked extremely pleased with himself.
"That's right! Two years ago, on my birthday, I pestered my old man to ask the general distributor of Rolex in the imperial capital to get this watch for me. It cost 66,000 yuan at that time.
My old man even thought it was expensive. Now if you want to buy this watch at the official store for 80,000 yuan, you'll have to wait in line for at least two years!"
"Wow..." An Lu cooperated and let out an exclamation.
Alex, Lucy and Reyina Wu looked at each other in confusion.
Did we hear it right?
No, right...
Only 66,000 yuan?
Could it be in euros?
The three watch novices suppressed their doubts and didn't say anything, preparing to wait and see what would happen.
