Chapter 139 - Looks Like Wei Xingyue

Meeting someone with a sense of familiarity wouldn't go wrong in a situation between two people of the same gender, and they could even become friends.
However, if it happened between a man and a woman, it was unlikely to progress any further. After all, when a man used the phrase “I think I've seen you somewhere before,” it would automatically be judged as an old fashioned pick up line.
Although Shi Lei thought that she looked familiar, he didn't stop walking. He only glanced at her temporarily and left with Sun Yiyi.
On the contrary, the sexy woman in red stopped after she walked in and was lost in thought, staring at Shi Lei and Sun Yiyi for a long time.
It was only after he sat in the car that Shi Lei suddenly realised something and slapped his leg. No wonder that woman seemed familiar. She looked liked Wei Xingyue. There was an obvious difference between them, though. If Wei Xingyue didn't move or smile, she was like a goddess who had transcended from above while this woman in red seemed hot and sexy upon first glance, as if a part of his heart already was disturbed by her beauty.
Their similarities were mainly displayed by the shape of their face and nose. Their eyes were different. The outer corner of the woman in red's eyes were inclined upwards in a seductive manner while Wei Xingyue's were big and clear. Their lips were also different. Wei Xingyue's lips were rather thin.he woman in red's lips were plump like Angelina Jolie, which gave people the desire to kiss them.
Their heights were approximately the same and even the style of dressing was similar. Although one was fire red and one was pure white, they were both monochromatic. Wei Xingyue loved to dress in all white with a black scarf as the highlight, butthe woman in red had a red hair tie with a pair of black stockings.
Another difference he noticed was the age.
The woman in red seemed to be around the same age as Shi Lei. However, Wei Xingyue looked four or five years older than him.
Sun Yiyi was bewildered by Shi Lei's action. "Shitou ge, are you okay? Why are you slapping yourself so hard?" she asked.
Shi Lei snapped back to reality and smiled. "Nothing. I just figured something out."
"What is it?"
Shi Lei didn't conceal it from her and said, "When we walked out of the door, did you think that the woman in red looked rather familiar?"
Sun Yiyi frowned as she tried to remember, but she could not think of anyone.
It wasn't anything strange, as she only met Wei Xingyue once. Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue had already touched physically and hewas naturally more familiar with her looks.
"Do you remember the night when I picked you and your mother up to go to the hospital? A girl's car hit me and she wanted me to go to the hospital and check my injuries..."
Sun Yiyi nodded. "I remember now, you are talking about sister Wei. Aiya, really, that girl in red looked like sister Wei. But their styles are completely different. Sister Wei is a fairy and the girl just then was more like a goddess."
Shi Lei laughed and thought that Sun Yiyi was way too naive. She didn't know that beneath Wei Xingyue’s looks, she had the heart of a crazy woman and he had had enough of her.
"I just thought that the girl in red seemed familiar but I couldn't remember where I saw her before. After I got in the car, I realized that I've never seen her before, but found her to be familiar simply because she looks like someone else."
"Mhm, they really do look alike. The more we talk about it, the more I think they look like each other."
After sending Sun Yiyi home, Shi Lei didn't have anything to do. He wanted to find a bar and kill time, but he was afraid of bumping into Wei Xingyue again. Maybe he was overthinking it. Wei Xingyue was the daughter of a super wealthy family and it was already a miracle within a miracle that she was at the bar. How could she possibly be at the bar everyday?
But Shi Lei's purpose in going to a bar was nothing other than wanting to spend more money.
Excluding the money which he spent while Wei Xingyue was messing around, he only used a bit over 3,000 yuan tonight with Sun Yiyi. He still had more than 96,000 yuan lying in his bank account, untouched.
Shi Lei looked at the luxurious apartment. He lit a stick of incense, feeling that he was lacking something.
Oh right. He was missing a set of good quality speakers. If there was music in the house, it would been perfect.
When Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue were chatting, he’d gained the knowledge of something called a cigar, which was a hundred times more expensive than normal cigarettes. He was contemplating whether or not he should learn how to smoke for the sake of pretending to be cool. Or, he could get into the habit of drinking wine. After all, the wine called Romanee Conti was at least 200,000 yuan per bottle.
Well, he was just thinking about it, but speakers were definitely possible.
But it was too late and he didn't have any places to go to spend money, he decided to do it tomorrow.
After he woke up in the morning, Shi Lei went straight to the sound equipment market. On the way there, he looked up the brands of speakers. Without considering the price in comparison to its functions, he quickly bought a set of speakers at the price of 50,000 yuan within twenty minutes.
After all, he only rented the house and there weren't any sound proof equipment, he could only buy a beginner level speaker.
When he looked around the market, Shi Lei knew that top quality speakers for home use were at least 350,000 yuan. In professional shops, there were even speakers up to a million.
This was another way to spend money, except Shi Lei could not afford it just yet. When he didn’t know where to spend money next time, he could buy the 50,000 yuan speakers or even the million yuan speakers.
He could even refurnish the house and add sound proof walls or glass. He would just buy as much as he could because he had the money to do so.
Shi Lei left after confirming that they would come and install it on the second day.
On the way back, his phone rang continuously. He didn't even have to check to know that they were from those three in his dorm. Today was Wednesday, the so-called party day. Just because Shi Lei didn't care about it didn't mean that those three would forget.
Shi Lei saw them as soon as he got off the car. They complained that they'd waited for half an hour in the frigid weather with chilly winds. Shi Lei awarded them with a kick each. Although the security guards wouldn't let them into the apartment, that didn't stop them from entering the main gate and they could even sit on the couch to wait for him. The words about chilly winds were just made up accusations as they wanted to rip Shi Lei off more.
He initially thought that they would drag him straight to the restaurant, but surprisingly, they dragged him upstairs and called for food delivery because they wanted to stay at his place today.
Shi Lei was surprised but agreed to what they wanted.
After a while, they revealed their real purpose.
Zhang Mo dragged his feet and approached Shi Lei. He spoke shyly and in embarrassment: "Shitou, can I discuss something with you?"
Shi Lei really couldn't stand a fatty acting like this in front of him. If a beauty did it, it was called acting cute, but Zhang Mo was scaring him.
"Don’t act like this. Spit it out!"
