Inside Room 705, a group of youngsters hung out as they talked and sang songs. They were a group of girls that knew each other but weren't very close. The atmosphere was quite restrained and too polite.
Among them, there was one girl that seemed to lead the group, encouraging them to break out of their shells and bring their funk out. She was that sweet, energetic, and kind girl that made sure to include everyone in the activities.
She didn't want the party to flunk so early.
That would be embarrassing.
But you know what's more embarrassing?
For the host to be the only one left to arrive.
That Su Long was always careless with his time! The girl sighed helplessly.
Looking around, everyone seemed to be immersed in their phones. They held uninterested looks and didn't even want to choose a song to sing.
If they opened their mouths, the only phrases she would her would be:
"Lili, when are they going to come?"
"Are they even going to come?"
Poor Lili only smiled at them and answered in a bright smile. "Of course they are going to come!"
Only for them to become uninterested again.
Massaging her temples, Lili secretly cursed Su Logn out. She's just his cousin but the things he put her through... were just too much!
He had to raise her salary!
Suddenly, when everyone least expected it, the door was opened. The light shining into the dim-lit room with a man's shadow creating anticipation.
Sadly, it was just the waiter bringing the snacks they asked for.
"Hello everyone." The waiter greeted politely as he settled down a big plate of fried fries and chicken nuggets. "Can I get you anything else?"
"Can you bring another big plate?"
"Of course." The waited nodded before turning to leave.
The girl gave her gratitude and a smile as a farewell.
The lively atmosphere turned somber very quickly.
They were stuck with the sound system going off and girls reaching out for the snacks in silence.
Once again, the door opened, but the people weren't interested. They expected the waiter to come with the big plate and leave the room even more dead than it already was!
However... this time, sounds of glorious laughter and talking came through.
Glancing at the door, the girl's eyes brightened up but at the same time, an angry expression came through. Her eyebrow we twitching and her fists were itching!
Finally! That idiot cousin of hers was going to show up!
Ready to throw some sneaky punches, Lili started to roll her sleeve with a demonic smile.
She promises to not leave any bruises...
However, as soon as she saw the first boy come through. Lili was instantly starstruck and her sleeves came undone. The initial annoyance was washed away, and a pleasant surprise settled in.
There he was with his hair swaying cooly, a suave smile on his lips, and slanted eyes. Although he looked like a pretty boy, he didn't carry an aura of overconfidence and arrogance. Instead, he was like a gentle spring breeze with the way his eyes genuinely shone.
Lili didn't know her cousin had such... captivating friend.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Chen Jingyun, the girl in disguise, stole Lili's first love.
Ah, Lili if only you knew...
Seeing his cousin's hands on her sleeves, Su Long instantly knew he was going to be pummeled for his tardiness. Thinking of the punches and demonic pinches, Su Long could only flinch in fear.
That girl's strength was no joke!
So, of course, he had to approach her first and calm the waters!
With money.
"Oh hey, Lili." Sorry for the late arrival!" Su Long quietly pleaded. "I suppose you will ask for a raise? Don't worry, I can give you five percent more!"
However, contrary to his belief, Lili didn't touch that subject. Instead, she asked about Chen Jingyun.
"Who's that guy?" She pointed at Chen Jingyun with a little dazed look.
Turning his head, Su Long found the subject of her interest.
He simply said. "Oh? That's my new roommate Qin Yun. Heh, Isn't he incredibly short?"
"I think he has a perfect height."
Whipping his head at his cousin, Su Long feared for his life.
That was not the comment he was looking for!
"Don't tell me you... I mean, how? Wait, why? Nonono, how? You are the same height as me! Aren't you too..."
"Too what?" Lili turned fierce. "Tall for him? Does that even matter? You've got a problem with height and gender?"
"Well, some guys..."
Lili quickly turned worried. Other guys didn't matter! She wasn't interested in them. Right now, she only got eyes for Chen Jingyun!
And like anyone in love... they would worry about what their crush thinks about them.
"Does Qin Yun mind?"
Looking at his cousin act in a way he has never seen, Su Long's heart trembled in fear.
"I... don't know."
"Well, you better find out!" Lili harrumphed.
In Su Long's eyes, she was like Godzilla attacking the city!
Who knows what she would do if he told her... no?
Biting his inner cheek, Su Long looked for an easy way out of the conversation.
Thankfully, Lili had mercy on him and changed the subject.
"Oh, and I still want that extra money. twenty percent more or I am never going to do this for you again."
"What? This is daylight robbery!"
"Nah, it is just what I deserve. Hmmph!"
