Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Li Beibei returned home, she was stopped by Lin Jinghe. “It’s so late. Where did you go?”

Li Beibei said truthfully, “I went to see Godfather.”

Lin Jinghe said, “Why didn’t you tell me that you were going to visit your godfather? Jingmo waited for you all afternoon.”

Li Beibei looked confused. “Fu Jingmo? Why is he waiting for me?”

“Didn’t I say that I asked someone to teach you how to swim? It was Jingmo who saved you the last time, so I sounded him out. I didn’t expect him to be willing. But you didn’t even let him know you weren’t going and just stood him up.”

Li Beibei protested, “Mom, I don’t need anyone to teach me how to swim, let alone Fu Jingmo.”

Lin Jinghe frowned. “Actually, I’ve always wanted to ask you… Do you dislike Jingmo?”

“Of course I don’t like him.”

“Why?”

“No reason. I don’t want to be in a relationship.”

Lin Jinghe said, “I’m not forcing you to date. I just wanted you to interact more with Jingmo. Jingmo is an outstanding child; whether it’s his character or capability. Besides, he has always liked you.”

Li Beibei had heard these words in her previous life. She knew that no matter what she said, she could not waver her parents’ love for Fu Jingmo.

Li Beibei was unwilling to disobey her parents in this life. She could only say perfunctorily, “Alright, alright. Mom. I’m going to bed.”

In the end, Lin Jinghe said, “Then you have to go over tomorrow—at 9 a.m.. Don’t be late again.”

What? She still wanted her to go over tomorrow?

Li Beibei covered her head and fled to her room.

Li Beibei lay on the bed with mixed feelings.

The scene of Chu Xiubai deliberately stripping to please the guests played back in her head.

She shook her head. Why did she fancy such a person in her previous life?

After a while, her cell phone vibrated and a message popped up.

It was from Su Qingdai: “Beibei, did you go out with Xiubai today?”

There was even a gossipy emoji at the end of the sentence.

It was as if she could not wait to share in her best friend’s thoughts.

Li Beibei stared at that expression for a long time. Suddenly, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her little head instantly hatched another plan.

Li Beibei replied: “I drank a lot today… Feeling dizzy. I’ll tell you tomorrow. I’ll pick you up at nine tomorrow morning.”

Su Qingdai looked at Li Beibei’s reply and felt inexplicably excited.

She did not expect Chu Xiubai to be able to coax Li Beibei into drinking the first time they met.

Did something happen between the two of them tonight?

Things went unexpectedly smoothly.

Su Qingdai hurriedly replied: “Rest well then. See you tomorrow.”

The next day.

Li Beibei drove to pick up Su Qingdai.

As soon as Su Qingdai got into the car, she asked impatiently, “Beibei, why are you up so early? Where’s Xiubai? Did anything happen between you and him last night?”

Li Beibei glanced at her and said half-jokingly, “What do you wish had happened between me and him?”

Su Qingdai was shocked. Was she too eager?

Su Qingdai hurriedly explained, “Beibei, what are you talking about? Didn’t you say that you drank yesterday? I was worried about you, so I spoke without thinking.”

Li Beibei smiled. “It’s nothing. I was drunk and a friend of my father saw me when I went to the washroom. So, my father brought me home.”
