Don't let me dig my grave.

Lan Mei was stunned at how brilliant Toa Fen kept her room when she passed her gaze around. It was simply rich because there were gaming devices and a home theatre. Also, this home theater had adjunct mini karaoke. All the devices lay bare before her; it was really a high-end room. This situation showed how rich Toa Fen was. She was never average, and her parents must love her to the moon to enrich her room like this. Lan Mei's mind churned.

It couldn't be more apparent that Lan Mei had never visited Toa Fen's room. Everything they did must be outside their personal space. Perhaps, for her to invite her must show their growing closeness. At the same time, she must be lonely or in need of something. Lan Mei didn't want to dwell on this thing. She comfortably sat on one of the sofas. At this moment, Toa Fen brought a container full of Apple juice. She set the cup on the table. On the same table, there were other soft drinks; however, Toa Fen mixed alcohol with them.

Toa Fen poured the cold juice into the glass cup and gulped suavely. She smiled at the refreshing taste the drink offered her.

"Lan Mei, you should drink," She urged.

Lan Mei didn't know what storm she brewed but still poured herself the same juice and drank too. "So, sister Fen, why are you eager to drink." She questioned softly, still smiling. She couldn't let this opportunity pass her. She had to interview her while she could.

Although Toa Fen understood that Lan Mei was acting weird and curious, she didn't bother to be serious about it, so she smiled.

"Must there be any need to drink? I merely feel like it."

"Hehe, Sister Fen, was there any need to drink this alcohol too?" Lan Mei had already seen some alcohol brands among the mixtures of drinks. Although she knew that Toa Fen had no intention of hiding them, she didn't make them too obvious.

"Alcohol is also part of the enjoyment, don't you think?"

"But we are minors, so aren't you afraid of being caught?" On a typical situation, Lan Mei would have sealed her mouth without speaking up. But they were just a little over fifteen years to sixteen.

Toa Fen picked a can of alcohol and opened it with a puff. She downed it like a champion. As she drank, she blushed. And in no time, she finished the opened can, but she opened another one. Even at this moment, Toa Fen didn't know why she wanted to drown herself in alcohol. She wondered if she was inferior to Li Min. She worried whether she could subdue Guang Fang if she tried her best. She continued to drink because she felt her emotions jumbled these few periods. She especially noticed these changes after that test. Perhaps she was confused. So she was going to settle her heart quickly. She thought that maybe, just maybe, after drinking with her good friend, she could figure it out.

Lan Mei didn't know what plagued the heart of Toa Fen, but she felt intrigued by the scene. She gazed at her and resolved herself to follow up. In fact, Lan Mei had concluded her mind wouldn't compete with Toa Fen on who could drink more because her mouth would savor very little, at the very least not as much as Toa Fen. She picked a can of alcohol and began to drink. She frowned at the taste of it. And that's because that damn thing never tasted sweet but tasteless and somewhat bitter. However, the constant pungent taste of ethanol assaulted her throat. She could only endure; her eyes teared because of that reaction.

"Lan Mei, tell me the truth: do you also love him?" Toa Fen muttered out of nowhere. Her expression and word never specified her words meaning because she appeared serious yet unserious.

Lan Mei gazed at her—she knew her leader was getting drunk; she sighed and thought a little more. "What if I say I like him; who wouldn't like astute people?"

"That's what I thought. Then do you think you have a chance to be with him? What about Dayu?"

"Don't get me wrong. I do like that person, but that's the only thing. I have no confidence nor the intention to go for his heart. As for Dayu, I'm afraid he doesn't want her hurt too. I believe he's just doing all that out of protection. However, I can never be sure because Guang Fang never follows conventions." Lan Mei laughed in self-derision. She didn't know why she was even talking about all these things. She didn't think she could trust herself enough not to act around him, but she had noticed that the guy didn't have much spare time for women's stuff as he loved scheming games. So it was a high wall for any lady to conquer him. And that's because that person must be brilliant enough to suppress him. In fact, she believed that person should be shameless if she wanted to have the chance.

"Why can't he belong to me? Can't I control him enough? Should I buy him?" Toa Fen mumbled under her breath. Of course, Lan Mei heard her. But she could only laugh at her words.

'You have to be shameless enough to trap him. Are you more prestigious than Miss Li? Or, are you more financially able than her?' she questioned Toa Fen in her mind. Of course, it was only her thought. People hurt, but what could she do to alleviate their pain. She was most loyal subordinate to Toa Fen; she owed her for shielding her since her arrival at this school. So she wouldn't betray her by loving who she loved. Neither would she watch her suffer emotionally.

"Sister Fen, the guys sorting him are already out of your gamut. He is talented, after all. Moreover, he is fearless; every lady desires such men that could uproot the sun from its pillar. We yarn for such men that would overturn the cloud. Do you understand what I mean? We love troublesome and unreasonable guys! So you have to think in new directions. I believe that even people like Miss Li (who already have high qualification) still relies on cunning tricks to get close to him. So you should also try some," Lan Mei said.

"But what should I do?" She muttered to herself. It was as if Toa Fen existed between reality and dream; she laughed at herself.

Seeing this part of her, Lan Mei thought to her mind that there should be more to Toa Fen than the eyes beheld. And it was no wonder she perceived another air around her when she came in. Lan Mei: a person who had encountered bullies almost all her life before her path crossed with her salvation, was really keen on her environment, just like Boazhai Dayu. At this moment, she thought of something.

"Sister Fen, how do you behave before your dad?"

"My dad?" She gulped her alcohol in one go and picked another like she was drinking for some championship. "That old thing had disturbed my life to marry (marriage preparation) for a long time. But he can't bear to deal with his cute daughter." She drank and laughed at her stupidity.

'That's it! So you are a spoilt brat in front of your dad—cheeky and cherry. That will do!' At this moment, Lan Mei thought she got it. "Sister Fen, do you always use your cheeky and cute nature to take advantage of your father?"

"Of course, can he bear to see me suffer? Why are we even talking about this?" Toa Fen transited from reality to dream? If on an ordinary occasion, she wouldn't have shown that she had two bearing in her life because that's her secret! And besides, she always believed that her cheeky side was uncool for public use. So she always preferred her bossy and possessive side. However, she had underestimated the alcohol in her system. She couldn't control the alcohol that's why she still worried about why she discussed that topic.

"Sister Fen, you asked me what you should do, didn't you? What if I told you to behave cheeky and spoilt in front of him. What if I told you to behave shameless and morally demented."

"What do you mean by that?" Toa Fen downed another can. However, Lan Mei still drank a can. In fact, she was already drinking juice.

"Just behave the way he would see you as cute, a manner that he couldn't resist half of your requests."

However, hadn't this girl underestimated me?

...….

I opened my eyes and yawned tiredly. I've been assimilating various data; I haven't had a single moment of rest. I went to the water dispenser and filled my glass cup. I drank, but my stomach didn't feel great. I took my brush to the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I returned refreshed from the privy, I decided to pick up my phone. Since the cafeteria wouldn't allow take-out, I wanted to ask Changming Quan to help me get some snacks. However, I saw a phone call from Lan Mei.

"What the hell do these people want now? Can't they understand I have no time to play around?" I muttered with widened eyes.

"What is it, Lan Mei?"

"It's like this, Guang Fang. Sister Fen needs help. It's an emergency, and you're the one I can reach out to."

"What happened to her?"

"Just come to the C dormitory block." Lan Mei wasn't willing to divulge any more information.

"Okay, wait for me," I hung up. However, Just as I picked up my jacket, my sixth sense whacked me. I was sincerely alarmed: 'What the hell! Wasn't that the dormitory block of Li Min?' I immediately sweated for no committed crime. 'Or should I call it a preemptive crime? Sigh, forget it—it's an emergency. However, these girl schemes a lot. God, please don't allow me to dig my grave today.' My mind churned useless thoughts.
