Once Da Tou, Ye Zi, and Xiao Bei left, only Chen Yang and Qiu Menglei remained in the not-so-small bar of the estate.
Soft, lyrical music played through the speakers. The bar was quiet without being noisy, and with no one else around, the atmosphere was ripe with mood and sentiment.
Qiu Menglei held a glass of red wine in her hand. She'd already drunk quite a bit, her cheeks flushed, and she stole glances at Chen Yang from time to time, her gaze slightly blurred and brimming with allure.
Chen Yang observed Qiu Menglei and thought to himself, "This girl, unexpectedly, is quite charming."
As he was thinking this, Qiu Menglei suddenly reached out her hand and clung to his arm, blurrily saying, "Chen Yang, since we last parted, it's been such a long time since we saw each other... Have you... have you missed me?"
There's a saying that alcohol boosts courage, and that's exactly what happened with Qiu Menglei.
