When I received a call from Shao Ciyan, I was taken aback. This was the first time he had called me proactively in half a month.
"Today is my birthday, are you coming over?"
Amidst the noisy background music, I heard the boy's lazy voice. I paused for a moment.
"I didn't know today was... I'll be there soon."
Shao Ciyan made a nasal sound of acknowledgment. After giving me the address, he hung up the phone directly.
I hurried out the door, thinking about what birthday gift to bring him on the way. This was Shao Ciyan's first birthday since we started dating.
As I reached the entrance of the bar's private room, I was still preoccupied with his birthday gift. However, the moment I pushed open the door, a familiar male voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Jian Xi is your boyfriend; what are you doing hugging me?"
Hearing my name, I instinctively paused in opening the door. Shao Ciyan had his arm around my sister Jian Qingtang and frowned slightly.
"Don't use the term boyfriend; it disgusts me."
"If it weren't for him looking a bit like you, I wouldn't even glance at him."
"Being gay is just perverted, right?"
My body instantly stiffened. It seemed I couldn't comprehend the meaning behind Shao Ciyan's words. So it turned out... Shao Ciyan saw me as Jian Qingtang's substitute. Was that why he was with me?
In the next moment, Jian Qingtang turned her face slightly to meet my gaze.
"Say Jian Xi; Jian Xi is here now."
She smiled and had a few people nearby pull me into the spotlight without hesitation. The crowd began to jeer.
"Now you see it, what does your Jian Xi even count for?"
I looked up and met Shao Ciyan's indifferent eyes. He sat there calmly with Jian Qingtang in his arms, showing no intention of explaining anything.
Someone continued to poke at my wounds.
"You probably don't know, right? brother Ci mentioned you with such a look of disgust."
"Weren't you trying to kiss brother Ci before and got rejected?"
I widened my eyes in shock, my face pale as I looked at the person speaking.
"That afternoon, brother Ci was so disgusted that he couldn't eat a single bite."
After saying this, the onlookers burst into laughter.
I mechanically turned to look at Shao Ciyan.
"Shao Ciyan..."
"Do you think the same?"
But he merely smiled faintly.
"That's indeed the truth."
Shao Ciyan chewed on an ice cube and raised an eyebrow.
"Jian Xi, just as you see."
"Qing Tang is back, and I kicked you."
I was still reeling from this huge turn of events, but at least I knew I was being humiliated.
So I picked up the glass in front of me and splashed it onto Shao Ciyan's face.
"You really are a piece of trash!"
After saying that, I kicked out fiercely.
In the next second, Shao Ciyan's friends threw a punch at me without holding back.
"You think you're tough, huh? You dare to hit him."
Jian Qingtang hurriedly wiped Shao Ciyan's face and looked at me with reproach as I fell.
Shao Ciyan smirked slightly and stood up, looking down at me.
"Can you get lost? This time I owe you nothing."
After saying that, before I could make another move, I was dragged out of the bar by Shao Ciyan's people.
Suddenly, it started to rain at night.
The rain intensified, soaking me thoroughly.
Walking in the rain, I recalled the day Shao Ciyan confessed to me.
The boy was flamboyant and carefree.
"I need to tell you something."
"Uh-huh?"
"I like you; will you be with me?"
"But... but I'm a guy, and you're a guy too..."
"I don't care if you're a guy or a girl; I just like you."
It turned out to be a deception. I lightly trembled my eyelashes, and a drop of water, whether rain or tears, fell to the ground.
Inside the bar, Jian Qingtang noticed Shao Ciyan staring blankly at the entrance and nudged his shoulder. "What's wrong? Can't bear to leave?"
"You wouldn't actually fall for Jian Xi, would you?" Shao Ciyan snapped back to reality with a light scoff. "Did you come back just to disgust me?" After saying that, he lightly bit Jian Qingtang's lower lip. "It's the girls here that I like," Shao Ciyan told himself.
Jian Qingtang wrapped his arms around Shao Ciyan's neck and softly whispered in his ear, "Then let me make it up to you... okay?"
Shao Ciyan chuckled softly and lifted Jian Qingtang as they left together.
Meanwhile, I stepped into the Jian Family's door, drenched like a drowned rat, only to be met with sarcasm from my Stepmother. "You're really starting to resemble a young master of the Jian Family now, coming home late at night. Where have you been having fun?" The maids and servants also cast mocking glances my way.
This family, which had always treated me as an outsider, combined with the hurt brought by Shao Ciyan, hit me with a double blow. At that moment, I suddenly felt extremely tired. The next day, I requested to stay at school, wanting to distance myself from everyone I didn't want to see.
