Chapter 50: Lu Jingqing Goes to Find Her

~7 min read 1,240 words

Seeing how close Zhou Xian and Su Yun Jiao were sitting across from them, Qin Xue couldn't help but say to Lu Chi beside her, "Look how good the relationship between Jiao Jiao and Zhou Xian is; the two are just a match made in heaven."

Lu Chi hated hearing such talk, and his face darkened.

Across from them, Su Yun Jiao specially ordered a few expensive but low-alcohol special drinks.

Anyway, since Lu Chi is paying today, she won't hold back.

Tonight, she will definitely make Lu Chi's monthly pocket money run out.

In just a moment, Su Yun Jiao ordered another ten cups of alcohol.

"I just tried them; these drinks are pretty good, let's have everyone drink these later."

Qin Xue could tell at a glance that the alcohol content in these drinks is not high.

Only the most expensive cup has a higher alcohol content, so she immediately placed it in front of Lu Chi and said, "Lu Chi, drink this cup; this one looks more suited to your temperament."

Qin Xue handed the cup to Lu Chi with an expectant look.

Lu Chi lowered his head to glance at it, said nothing, which counted as agreement.

Qin Xue said, "Then let's continue."

Qin Xue shuffled everyone's cards again, but Su Yun Jiao said, "Or we could switch games; this game always makes people do strange things, I can't play it."

Upon hearing that, Lu Chi let out a cold snort: "How come? Are you scared?"

"Who's scared?"

"Alright, then let's set a rule: later, no matter what excessive demands are made, one cannot go back on them, nor can one drink alcohol."

Su Yun Jiao furrowed her brows, not knowing what fit Lu Chi had thrown.

"Everything was fine; why would he suddenly like playing this boring game?"

Qin Xue had been waiting for Lu Chi to say that.

As long as we can't drink alcohol or go back on our word, we can do anything later.

At the same time.

Lu Jingqing had finished work and returned to Jingyuan.

Inside Jingyuan, it was empty; there was no sign of Su Yun Jiao.

Lu Jingqing walked to the living room, glanced at Liu Ma who was cooking, and asked, "Has Jiao Jiao not come back yet?"

"Miss Su? Miss Su went out during the day, saying she was going to the library to study with classmates."

Lu Jingqing didn't expect Su Yun Jiao to act so quickly, preparing to review for the College Entrance Exam.

He lowered his head to look at his watch; it was already ten o'clock at night.

Lu Jingqing raised his head and asked, "When did Jiao Jiao leave?"

"It seems like it was around three or four in the afternoon."

"You mean she's been studying outside for six hours?"

"Seems about right."

"The library is already closed at this time, unless one has special privileges."

"No matter what, it really shouldn't be this late without coming back."

Lu Jingqing suddenly felt uneasy.

"What if something happens?"

"This child has no sense of importance at all."

"Xiao Li, call the library over there and find out what's going on."

"Yes, Boss Lu."

Secretary Li immediately called the City Center Library.

The other end of the phone quickly relayed the message.

"Boss Lu, they said three hours ago, Miss Su left with the young master of the Zhou Family, and also Lu Chi and another female classmate went together."

"Lu Chi?"

"……Yes."

Secretary Li nodded.

Lu Jingqing pondered for a moment.

This girl keeps saying she doesn't like Lu Chi, yet she ended up going out with him.

"Did they say where they were going?"

"The staff only heard a rough idea; it seemed that one of the female classmates who left together said she wanted to go to a nearby bar."

When he heard that Su Yun Jiao and three others had gone to a bar together, Lu Jingqing's brows furrowed even deeper.

"A bar?"

"Everything was fine; why would they think of going to a bar?"

"That kind of place is not only expensive, but also not tasty."

"In that kind of place, most people are there to drink."

"Which female classmate?"

"No matter who it is, this intention is clearly ill‑hearted at a glance."

Secretary Li shook his head; he also didn't know who it was.

"Go check the bars near the City Center Library."

"Boss Lu, this isn't appropriate; Miss Su is just going out to eat with classmates. If you go now, she'll definitely lose face in front of her friends."

"No matter how you say it, she's still a senior high school student; students at this age care most about face."

Lu Jingqing said, "What kind of meal takes three hours and still isn't enough? Are they going just to eat?"

Upon hearing that, Secretary Li also felt it made some sense.

Who eats a meal for three hours?

Besides, it's at a place like a bar.

Go drive.

Yes.

Here.

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head to check the time; twenty minutes had already gone by, and it was nearly eleven.

Lu Jingqing should have already gotten off work.

But this drinking party seems not to be over yet.

3, deep kiss 4.

When Su Yun Jiao looked up, she saw Lu Chi's eyes constantly staring at her like a tiger eyeing its prey.

Zhou Xian flipped over his card, revealing a 5, and Qin Xue also flipped over her card, revealing a 6.

Seeing this, Qin Xue couldn't laugh.

How could such a coincidence happen?

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head to glance at her own card, which happened to be a 3.

Su Yun Jiao, you lose the bet—accept the penalty.

Lu Chi's eyes stared straight at Su Yun Jiao, waiting for her reaction.

Su Yun Jiao's face darkened.

Just now Lu Chi had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and now his face showed a slight flush.

Zhou Xian said: "Lu Chi, your demand is excessive."

When we were playing the game earlier, everyone just took a sip or at most offered a toast.

But Lu Chi went ahead and made such an excessive demand.

Su Yun Jiao knew Lu Chi must have done it on purpose.

But… why her?

Lu Chi, this demand is indeed a bit excessive—you and Su Yun Jiao are friends; how can friends deep‑kiss each other?

Qin Xue was a little anxious.

She indeed wanted to do that to Lu Chi, but Lu Chi can't do that to other girls!

Qin Xue said again: "Lu Chi, that doesn't count; pick something else."

"As agreed, loser must accept the penalty—whatever demand is made must be carried out, no backing down. Su Yun Jiao, are you unable to handle losing?"

Lu Chi's words were all provocations toward Su Yun Jiao.

Zhou Xian frowned and said: "Jiao Jiao, let's leave; we're not playing anymore."

Having said that, Zhou Xian grabbed Su Yun Jiao's hand.

Seeing this, Lu Chi let out a cold snort and said: "What? Do you feel sorry for Su Yun Jiao? Or is the class monitor jealous?"

Zhou Xian's brows furrowed even deeper: "Lu Chi, you…"

"Exactly, I just can't handle losing."

Su Yun Jiao bluntly interrupted: "We weren't even planning to play; you forced us to join, and now you make such an outrageous demand, Lu Chi… could it be that you did this on purpose?"
