Chapter 63: Drunk on Wine! Song Wanrou Meets Chen Xi

Chen Xi hated Song Mo with all his heart.

It was Song Mo who took An Yinuo away from him.

If not for him, Lin Weiwei would never have been so hard to approach.

Even Leng Wanqiu's attitude toward him had recently changed, and Chen Xi had keenly noticed this.

Or rather, it wasn't that he was perceptive enough—it was that Leng Wanqiu no longer bothered to pretend.

His current situation was extremely bleak.

Chen Xi thought of his present circumstances.

A sense of tension and unease rose within him.

He was reluctant to admit his fear.

Afraid of Song Mo, who didn't even see him, ignored him, yet he kept hitting walls, leaving only Leng Wanqiu by his side.

If Leng Wanqiu also came to despise him,

Chen Xi would lose all his support.

He would lose every source of financial support.

He had no skills; his admission to Modu University came entirely from Leng Wanqiu's connections.

If Leng Wanqiu stopped funding him,

Chen Xi might truly have to resort to selling his body for money.

Think of how terrifying that was!

A fat, old woman, even fatter than Leng Wanqiu, holding a steel wool pad and a small whip, grinning at him with yellow teeth.

Her tiny, squinting green eyes, barely visible beneath layers of fat, lewd and depraved, brimming with a cruel, unrestrained urge to dominate as she stared at him.

He would endure inhuman torture…

Chen Xi couldn't help shuddering!

Stop! Stop!

He couldn't think about it anymore!

【I still have a chance. Song Mo is so rich—his sister Song Wanrou must be wealthy too, and she's so beautiful; I wouldn't be losing out at all.】

【If I can reattach myself to Song Wanrou, my life still has hope—and for Song Mo, this would be a humiliating blow.】

【Heh, Song Mo keeps opposing me. If not for him, An Yinuo and Lin Weiwei would already be clinging to me, and I could have kicked Leng Wanqiu out outright.】

【Song Mo, don't blame me—it's all your own doing.】

Heaven's misdeeds may still be forgiven;

One's own misdeeds cannot be lived through.

Chen Xi strode quickly into the bar.

Inside the bar, amid dim, chaotic lighting and tangled shadows of men and women, Chen Xi searched with his gaze for Song Wanrou's presence.

Suddenly, Chen Xi's gaze froze.

A strange feeling rose in his heart.

It was like a line of poetry.

"I searched for her a thousand times among the crowd; suddenly, I turned my head—and there she was, where the lantern light faded."

Chen Xi saw Song Wanrou sitting upright in a corner of the bar, dressed in an elegant, spacious yellow floral dress, her demeanor serene, like a flower reflected in water.

Like a lotus blooming pure from the mud.

Chen Xi's heart quickened; he truly felt a stirring, forgetting to pretend for a moment, his eyes locked on Song Wanrou.

Coming to his senses, Chen Xi walked over.

"Sister Wanrou."

"Xiao Xi, you're here?"

Song Wanrou smiled when she saw Chen Xi.

She gestured with her finger, indicating he should sit across from her.

A look of melancholy appeared on her face.

"Xiao Xi, aren't you uncomfortable here?"

"Actually, this is my first time here."

"It's so chaotic, but when you're feeling down, a noisy place somehow makes you feel better."

"Sister Wanrou, are you troubled by something?" Chen Xi couldn't help glancing at Song Wanrou several more times.

Song Wanrou had applied light makeup, yet she looked naturally beautiful—no trace of cosmetics was visible, yet every feature was perfect.

Her lips were pink and glossy, like jelly.

Her nose and chin were equally exquisite.

An Yinuo and Lin Weiwei were equally beautiful to Song Wanrou.

But for some reason, Song Wanrou gave Chen Xi a uniquely stirring feeling, making him believe she was prettier than An Yinuo and Lin Weiwei.

Was it because she was Song Mo's sister?

No, not that.

Chen Xi felt Song Wanrou must like him too—he could sense the tender affection in her gaze.

——The three great delusions of life.

That's how a clown's confidence feels.

Song Wanrou took a small sip of wine.

【So bitter—it's nothing like the Sky Dream my brother made for me. If only Xiao Mo were sitting across from me.】

This place is still too noisy; if it weren't for the convenience of my plan, I truly wouldn't stay here even for a moment.

Women are undoubtedly born actresses.

The sorrow in Song Wanrou's eyes would break anyone's heart, and naturally, it would instantly outshine any acting champion…

She seemed a little drunk.

Taking advantage of the alcohol, she vented to Chen Xi.

When Chen Xi heard it was related to family matters, he couldn't help but feel joy.

Soon, Chen Xi learned.

Was Song Wanrou so troubled because her father and mother favored Song Mo?

She wasn't as close to Song Mo as everyone thought—this was all because…

Chen Xi desperately wanted to know.

But just then, Song Wanrou stopped speaking.

She said nothing more, yet Chen Xi looked even more anxious than Song Wanrou.

"So, what's the real reason?"

Chen Xi asked.

Song Wanrou smiled seductively, making Chen Xi's blood surge.

"Little Xi, it's not right to let only your sister drink, you know?"

Chen Xi's body burned with heat.

He picked up the cup and drained it in one bold gulp.

His alcohol tolerance was actually poor, but right now he didn't care.

"Sister Wanrou, you're like my own sister; seeing you so sad makes my heart feel just as blocked and painful."

Chen Xi hoped Song Wanrou would continue her earlier topic, but she seemed no longer interested in speaking further.

Chen Xi was desperate.

Song Wanrou lazily said, "Your sister is already drunk, but all you want is to hear my family gossip—you won't even get drunk with me?"

"I won't say a word. Let you die of curiosity."

She spoke with a coquettish tone.

Under the influence of alcohol, Chen Xi's blood surged, his head spun, and he drank the liquor as if it were water.

Drinking so much at once should have made him drunk.

But the alcohol hadn't hit him yet.

Chen Xi feigned pity: "Dear sister, can you tell me now?"

"Nasty little maggot."

Song Wanrou smiled faintly and murmured a few words, but her voice was too soft and the bar too noisy—Chen Xi didn't catch them.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

Song Wanrou told Chen Xi.

It was because her father and mother had always favored Song Mo since childhood, and now, as adults, they planned to leave him all the family assets, giving her only a few properties and a sum of money.

Therefore, she was heartbroken.

Chen Xi, having gotten his answer, smiled contentedly.

At the same time, a wave of drunkenness rose to his head, leaving him dazed and foggy.
