Chapter 6:
I went to the party, but Lu Yanchen wasn't there.
Gu Qingling greeted everyone loudly, 'Hey, let's stop talking about the past between me and Achen! Otherwise, Mimi will get jealous.' I forced a smile and said, 'I won't get jealous.
Have fun, everyone.' I maintained a good temper throughout, regardless of how Gu Qingling tried to provoke me.
I was indifferent.
Gu Qingling punched a cotton pad, unsuccessfully trying to find comfort for herself, 'Mimi, if you want to listen, I can tell you.
There's no need to be so reserved, be more open.' She then pointed at the low-alcohol cocktail in front of me and said, 'Pass it to me, will you?' I handed her the cocktail.
Gu Qingling poured herself a glass.
The girl with short hair next to her continued, 'Actually, it's nothing.
We were just talking about embarrassing stories from our childhood.
When Ling Ling had her first period, she thought she had a serious illness and refused to go to school.
Achen comforted her, a grown man searching online about the menstrual cycle.
But Ling Ling didn't believe him and cried, saying she would die before getting married.' Everyone burst into laughter.
Gu Qingling laughed uncontrollably, 'I was young and didn't understand at the time.
Achen even joked that I could marry him.' After she finished speaking, she lifted her glass and playfully said, 'He's always like this, always trying to control me.' As if to prove her words, before the glass reached her lips, a hand with distinct knuckles intercepted it.
Lu Yanchen furrowed his brow, touching the temperature of the glass.
With a displeased expression, he scanned the room, 'Didn't I say not to let her drink cold beverages? Who gave it to her? Don't they know she has painful periods?'
