In the evening, Xu Qian invited me to his house for tea. I went, but upon arrival, I discovered that Zhou Hong was also there. She was wearing a bathrobe, just coming out of the bathroom. When she saw me, she calmly sat on the sofa and started applying body lotion. 0
 
I said, "..." 0
 
I turned to look at Xu Qian, my expression turning cold. "Did you lie to me?" 0
 
"How did I lie to you?" Xu Qian replied innocently. "I just invited you over for tea; I never said no one would be here." 0
 
"…" 0
 
He smiled mischievously, and I gritted my teeth in anger. Xu Qian poured me a cup of tea. "Try it; I just brewed it." 0
 
"I'm not interested." 0
 
"Why not?" Xu Qian looked at me. "Afraid I'll poison you?" 0
 
"…" 0
 
I walked over and sat down next to Xu Qian, picking up the teacup and taking a sip. 0
 
Xu Qian smiled proudly. "My tea skills are pretty good, right?" 0
 
"Just okay." 0
 
"Heh," Xu Qian chuckled, "better than your acting skills." 0
 
"What do you mean by that?" 0
 
"Isn't it true?" Xu Qian looked at me. "Your acting is far worse than your tea skills." 0
 
"…" 0
 
I gritted my teeth in frustration. Xu Qian poured more tea for me. "Drink more; it will help." 0
 
"…" 0
 
As Xu Qian poured tea for me, Zhou Hong, unwilling to be outdone, sat across from us and began pouring tea as well. 0
 
 
"President Fu, please." 0
Xu Qian looked at her, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Miss Ji, are you trying to compete with me?" 0
"Is President Fu unwilling?" 0
"How could that be?" Xu Qian chuckled. "I'm in for the long haul." 0
With that, the two of them began to brew tea. 0
I thought to myself: "..." 0
They exchanged banter back and forth while I sat beside them like an outsider, feeling awkward and uncomfortable. 0
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, I stood up. "I'm leaving first." 0
"President Qin, don't go," Zhou Hong said, grabbing my arm and smiling at me. "See you tomorrow." 0
I replied: "..." 0
She picked up a teacup and handed it to me. "President Qin, please have some tea." 0
I looked at her, smiled, took the teacup, and sipped. "Not bad." 0
"Thank you." 0
I set down the teacup, stood up, and looked at Xu Qian. "I'm leaving." 0
"No need to see you off." 0
I turned to walk out, but as I reached the door, Xu Qian suddenly called out to me. 0
I turned back to look at him. "Is there something?" 0
"Nothing," Xu Qian said as he looked at me. "Be careful on the way." 0
"Thank you." 0
I stepped outside, got into my car, and started the engine. 0
As I drove down the road, I suddenly spotted Li Rong. 0
He was walking alone, swaying unsteadily; it seemed he had drunk quite a bit. 0
I stopped the car and walked up to him. "Li Rong?" 0
 
 
Li Rong looked at me, squinting for a long time, and then suddenly hugged me tightly. 0
 
He clung to me, "Sister, you're back?" 0
 
"Why did you drink so much?" 0
 
"Sister, you smell so good." He sniffed me and then frowned, "There's the scent of another man’s perfume." 0
 
"..." 0
 
I sighed, "You're drunk." 0
 
"I'm not drunk!" He looked at me, "Sister, you smell like another man." 0
 
"..." 0
 
I didn't know how to explain it to him, so I could only say, "Let's go home first." 0
 
"Okay." He nodded obediently. 0
 
I took him to the car and drove back to my house. 0
 
Once home, I gave him a bowl of hangover soup and helped him lie down on the bed. 0
 
I looked at him, "You can sleep now." 0
 
"Sister," he looked at me, "don't go." 0
 
"I won't leave." I smiled, "I'm going to take a shower." 0
 
"Okay." He nodded obediently. 0
 
I went to take a shower, and when I came out, I saw Li Rong sitting on the bed. 0
 
His eyes were dazed, looking quite drunk. 0
 
I walked to the edge of the bed and was about to speak when he looked up at me with confused eyes for a long time and then reached out, calling me, "Sister." 0
 
My heart ached. 0
 
I thought how nice it would be if he were just a little pet I raised. If he were my little pet, I could take care of him for a lifetime. 0
