Watching Lai Yuqi down half a glass of alcohol without even taking a breath, Cui Hao mustered his courage to sit beside her. Silently, he filled her glass to the brim, and seeing that Lai Yuqi didn't shoo him away, his heart blossomed with joy as he sat down, his voice so excited it trembled, "You've been abroad for nearly a month, you couldn't have been avoiding me, could you?"
"When have I ever had so much free time that I could afford the boredom of avoiding you?" Lai Yuqi swirled the red liquid in her glass, her question dripping with irony.
Cui Hao, looking a bit sheepish, said, "Last time, you yourself told me not to appear in front of you again... I thought you really wouldn't see me anymore!"
Lai Yuqi slammed down her glass, "Do you think I want to see you?"
Were it not for their inextricable circle of friends, how else would they have run into each other?
