The more Wei Xingyue interacted with Shi Lei, the less she understood him. She thought that since he was someone with a simple background and not a lot of experience, she would be able to see through him with her intelligence.
But after she successfully created the car accident to get to know him, the charisma that Wei Xingyue was proud of seemed to be nothing in Shi Lei’s eyes. Even if she wasn’t his type and he had an eighteen-year-old girlfriend, he shouldn’t be completely unmoved by her beauty.
The encounter at the bar was actually unexpected, but after that, she intentionally tailed him, successfully making him drink with her privately. Wei Xingyue unleashed her charisma and attempted to seduce him as much as possible, but he seemed to be scared of her, continuously avoiding her and acting as if he wasn’t willing to even speak a single word to her.
In the end, even Wei Xingyue became gloomy. This was the second time that her charisma didn’t work. She purposely wanted to see whether or not Shi Lei would tell the truth when drunk, but she ended up being played by this cunning brat. Wei Xingyue calculated afterwards that three and a half bottles of the wine went into her stomach while Shi Lei, at most, drank half a bottle. It seemed that he was taking big gulps, but in reality, they were only tiny sips.
She drank spirits at the bar, beer at the barbeque stall, and then wine at Shi Lei’s apartment. Even Wei Xingyue couldn’t keep herself sober after consuming three different types of alcohol.
It was fine that she was drunk. It was also not a big deal that she fell asleep on top of Shi Lei, since she really didn’t care about that level of intimacy. The most outrageous thing she remembered was when she climbed onto the bed and tried to push Shi Lei off, mumbling to him to sleep on the couch. Except he firmly refused and their bodies intertwined with each other, and without realizing, as did their lips.
She would’ve forgotten about it if it was just a simple touch, but at that time, Wei Xingyue didn’t know what was wrong with her. She teased Shi Lei with her tongue and naturally, they kissed passionately for more than ten minutes. Luckily, Shi Lei was so intoxicated that Wei Xingyue didn’t lose her virginity. Otherwise, although he blacked out, Wei Xingyue clearly knew that she might’ve just done it with him.
Of course, Shi Lei didn’t know that. From his perspective, a flirtatious woman like Wei Xingyue probably already had a taste of a man. But in reality, the kiss she had with him was her first.
Shi Lei not remembering anything after he woke up made Wei Xingyue gloomy. She couldn’t even argue with him and could only pretend that she was muddled as well.
Good thing he listened to her and wandered outside for a day, letting her take a good, long nap. Who knew that things would deteriorate after she woke up? She was drying her body in the dark and that idiot came back.
He! Came! Back!
Wei Xingyue thought that God was playing a joke on her. She was about to throw Shi Lei’s towel over the bed and put on her own clothes when he turned on the lights.
If everything was scheduled by God, then she could only say that he really spent a lot of effort on them. Such a coincidental coincidence that was part of Korean dramas actually left the screen and came into her life.
Shi Lei wouldn’t know that Wei Xingyue really was furious in that instant and the consequences of incurring the wrath of the lady of the Wei household were severe. Shi Lei just happened to mention the story about Xingyue Puti and Wei Xingyue calmed down instantly, not even understanding why she did so herself. She even put the cheap chain of beads around her neck.
Now that Wei Xingyue understood that it was ill-fated destiny and everything was caused by that man with the surname of Yu.
It was indeed a coincidence. She had asked randomly before she left and Shi Lei said that his friend was Yu Banzhi.
Yu’s Agarwood Shop Of course Wei Xingyue knew about it. There was not a single fuerdai in Wu Dong city who didn’t know about it.
Yu Banzhi wasn’t a fuerdai, but a third generation of soldiers, since all his family members worked in the military. He was a single child and stubbornly refused to join the military because he didn’t want to continue the Yu family tradition. Rather, he was like a wild crane soaring in the sky and displayed extraordinary interests in the art of tea and antique collectables.
In the beginning, the Yu family and Wei family intended to arrange a marriage for their children since Yu Banzhi and Wei Xingyue were rather close in age, so they agreed verbally.
That year, Wei Xingyue was fifteen years old and Yu Banzhi hadn’t graduated from university yet.
After Wei Xingyue found out about it, she looked for Yu Banzhi at the university he was studying at, but Yu Banzhi said that he wasn’t interested in their arranged marriage at all and Wei Xingyue was greatly embarrassed. Although she was only a fifteen-year-old girl, her beauty already exceeded others. After she was rejected by a man face to face, she felt furious and wronged at the same time.
When Wei Xingyue was in her early twenties, she went to the Yu family and provokingly declared that she wanted to stop the arranged marriage. Although it was only a verbal agreement between both parentst was valid in their social class. Hence, Wei Xingyue’s actions provoked and agitated her father immensely.
But Yu Banzhi appeared and lightly said, “Oh, an arranged marriage? Was there something like that? Then cancel it.”
He didn’t have any reaction and was so cold, expressing that he didn’t even know about it. Both families were speechless and since neither of them wanted it, they couldn’t do anything about it and gave up.
That was the first time Wei Xingyue failed to capture someone’s heart with her charisma and that person was Yu Banzhi.
So it was easy to imagine what Wei Xingyue was feeling when she heard that Shi Lei was friends with Yu Banzhi. The so-called saying of: if people aren’t of the same kind, they wouldn’t be in the same family. Although it didn’t mean friendships, it served the same meaning. If Yu Banzhi and Shi Lei weren’t like-minded, how could a thirty-year-old man be friends with a brat who was barely twenty-one years old?
And Wei Xingyue felt the same towards Shi Lei as she did Yu Banzhi. That guy was especially strange. Clearly, he had the ability to reach further, but he never did anything proper and hid amongst the norm. How similar was that to Yu Banzhi’s personality?
Wei Xingyue thought that she would always end up falling for this kind of person her entire life.
And the chain of Xingyue on her neck. Although it definitely wouldn’t be something from Yu Banzhi’s shop, he was most certainly part of it. There was now an answer as to why Wei Xingyue calmed down after seeing it. It was something she would do, as this chain of Xingyue was connected to both men she fell for.
Wei Xingyue wanted to throw the chain of Xingyue into the lake, but after hesitating for a while, she eventually put it around her neck.
”
“Yu Banzhi, you really are my nemesis, aren’t you? It’s not enough for you to embarrass me alone. Now you have a pupil to embarrass me more? Just you wait I’m going to your shop to find you tomorrow!”
Wei Xingyue clenched her teeth tightly. In the end, she was just letting out her anger. How would she actually do that? Going to Yu’s Agarwood shop, telling him how she tumbled into Shi Lei’s hands and was embarrassed by that young man just like how she was embarrassed by him years ago?
It was impossible for her to do that, being as proud as she was.
Feeling the Xingyue Puti in her hands, she knew its worth wasn’t even enough for any of the ornaments she owned, but as she touched it, she unexpectedly calmed down.
Looking at the tranquil lake water, a peaceful smile appeared on her face.
