Chu Yuzhou was used to seeing her distort the truth.
He approached her step by step and looked down at her with his height advantage, grabbing her ponytail.
“Do you want me to show you what it means to take advantage of someone?” He leaned over, almost kissing her on the cheek.
Pei Yilan was not to be outdone at all.
She crossed her arms and looked straight into his eyes. “Show me then, if you have the ball.”
“You said it.”
“I said…”
Pei Yilan was not the only one who was stunned when she felt a warm touch on her cheek . Everyone else present widened their eyes in disbelief.
Chu Yuzhou regretted it immediately after kissing her.
He quickly pulled a safe distance away from her, all his anger replaced by awkwardness. “You asked me to kiss you. I didn’t force you.”
“Chu Yuzhou!!” Pei Yilan was embarrassed and angry.
She looked around, picked up the bag on the chair, and threw it at him, looking like she wasn’t gonna let him live to see the sun rising tomorrow.
Chu Yuzhou ran around the long table and was busy dodging the objects she threw at him one after another.
“I am sorry, I am sorry!” Only when he got hit a few times did the show end.
Pei Yilan was finally appeased.
She sat down beside Lin Jiao and took two sips of wine. “What game were you playing just now?”
Lin Jiao smacked her lips.
Before she could speak, she heard Du Wei say, “Truth or Dare.”
Only then did Pei Yilan notice her presence.
She raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhou Yanshen. Zhao Yanshen introduced, “This is Du Wei, my girlfriend.”
“I knew it.” Pei Yilan really did not like the speed at which he changed girlfriends.
She greeted Du Wei politely.
“Yilan, do you want to join us?” Du Wei smiled and clinked glasses with her.
She already treated herself as a part of this clique.
“I’m good.” Pei Yilan put down her glass and replied politely, “I have something to say to Jiaojiao. You guys go on/”
She gave Lin Jiao a look, and the latter followed her into the room, leaving the rest to continue the game.
“Yilan, did you find him?” Lin Jiao was indeed her best friend. She could tell what was on Pei Yilan’s mind at a glance.
Pei Yilan sighed heavily. “I was deceived.”
“By him?”
“Not by him.”
“Then by whom?”
Lin Jiao frowned, confused.
“I posted his blurred photo on the photoshop forum, right? Then, a few self-claimed photoshop experts looked for me and asked me to pay a deposit and promised to give the fixed photo back to me in a few days.”
“Then they ran away with the money?”
“Yes.” Pei Yilan said in frustration, “It’s a small sum of money to me. I just feel frustrated.”
“It’s fine.” Lin Jiao hugged her gently and comforted her. “Let’s think of another way.”
“Jiaojiao…”
“Yes?”
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to find him.” Pei Yilan lowered her head with worries written all across her face.
It was rare for her to be so in love with someone, but her journey of finding him was full of obstacles.
Was there really no fate between them?
“How is that possible?” Lin Jiao wiped her wet hair. “Don’t let your imagination run wild. If you really can’t, get Uncle to help.”
“No!” Pei Yilan suddenly looked up and quickly refused. “I can’t let him know about this. Otherwise, he’ll give me a long and tedious lecture again.”
Lin Jiao asked, “Then should I get Brother Yan to help?”
