It was drizzling in Wannan City at night, washing away the last bit of summer heat.
In a corner of the bustling area, a KTV with a sign that read "Customize" was ablaze with colorful lights.
Inside, the lights were swaying and the music was rocking.
The crystal - clear glasses sparkled under the light. People were sitting in twos and threes, chatting in low voices.
A group of people drinking in the corner felt that just drinking and chatting was a bit boring, so they asked the waiter to bring over some dice and decided to play "Truth or Dare".
The three of them chatted for over an hour and occasionally took a few sips of wine.
Shen Tingsi, who had the best alcohol tolerance, looked helplessly at the other two who could barely handle a single glass.
He nudged Lin Jinran, who was still somewhat sober beside him, and looking at Xu Jiaxin, who was propping herself up to maintain her composure, he stifled a laugh and said, "Jiaxin has only had one glass and she's already down. It's supposed to be your farewell dinner, but she's the first one to give up."
Tomorrow was the day when Lin Jinran would start school at Wannan No. 1 Middle School. As her childhood friend, Xu Jiaxin had flown all the way from the imperial capital to see her off.
Since their families were rather strict and they weren't allowed to go to bars, this was the first time the three of them had come to a KTV to drink.
They didn't expect that the other two had such poor alcohol tolerance that they were already tipsy after just one or two glasses.
Lin Jinran had only one more glass than Xu Jiaxin tonight. Her face was flushed like a peach, and her eyes were a bit dazed as she looked up at Xu Jiaxin.
As soon as she looked up, Xu Jiaxin completely lost her balance and lay face - down on the table. She waved her hand repeatedly, indicating that she really didn't want to drink anymore. It tasted awful.
Shen Tingsi burst out laughing and deliberately took out his phone to take a picture of Xu Jiaxin's embarrassing state.
Lin Jinran wasn't really sober either. She burped, patted Shen Tingsi on the shoulder, and then pointed in the direction of the restroom.
"Go ahead. I'll watch over Jiaxin here." Shen Tingsi smiled.
Compared to Lin Jinran, Xu Jiaxin really needed someone to watch over her.
Lin Jinran nodded and staggered to her feet, holding on to the table.
"Hey, Jinran, are you sure you're okay?" Shen Tingsi was skeptical. With Xu Jiaxin already lying on the table, he couldn't leave her alone.
"I'm really okay!" Lin Jinran patted her chest to assure him, "You'd better take care of Jiaxin. She can't even stand up."
Seeing that she was still relatively conscious and knew to protect Xu Jiaxin, Shen Tingsi let out a sigh of relief and nodded.
Thankfully, the restroom wasn't far from their table. Lin Jinran groped her way there and smoothly reached the restroom door.
Only... Lin Jinran looked at the restroom signs in a daze and had a hard time telling them apart. The signs in front of her eyes were blurry.
Men on the left, women on the right... Women on the left, men on the right...
Lin Jinran burped again. She lost her balance and staggered back a step.
Instead of hitting a cold wall, she bumped into a person?
"Ouch..."
Lin Jinran was startled. She turned around and looked at the person she had bumped into in a daze. The person's face was blurry and she couldn't see clearly.
But just based on the hazy face, Lin Jinran couldn't help but let out a silent gasp in her heart. What a beautiful girl. At the same time, she wondered why this girl was so tall.
She tried to open her eyes wider to see what this beautiful girl really looked like.
Lin Jinran stared with wide eyes and leaned forward. The stench of alcohol on her body made the person can't help but take a step back.
Su Qinian frowned and looked at the crazy - looking girl in front of him speechlessly.
She didn't even apologize after bumping into someone and kept muttering to herself. He had no idea what she was saying.
Now she even seemed to want to kiss him?
The world was going downhill. As a girl, she was being too bold. Did she think he, Su Qinian, was someone to be trifled with?
Su Qinian endured it and dodged Lin Jinran's drunken antics.
"Hey!" Lin Jinran let out a sound of regret for not seeing the beautiful girl clearly. She was really dizzy. She stumbled and hit her forehead against the cold wall with a crisp sound.
"Ouch..." Lin Jinran squatted down, covering her forehead in pain. Unconsciously, a layer of water welled up in her eyes.
The place where she had hit her head really hurt.
She was still thinking about the restroom. Through her tear - filled eyes, she seemed to see the beautiful girl enter the restroom on the left.
Lin Jinran got up, holding on to the wall, and rubbed her forehead as she walked.
When she fully stepped into the restroom, she found that the facilities were completely different from those in a regular women's restroom.
Then, she saw the beautiful girl with his back to her, standing in front of the urinal.
Half of Lin Jinran's consciousness was instantly scared away.
"Miss, don't scare me. Did you go into the wrong restroom?!"
Lin Jinran was sober, but not completely.
Miss?
Half of Su Qinian's face darkened. Without even thinking, he knew it must be that girl from before.
How dare she follow him into the men's restroom and call him "miss"?
In just a few seconds, several cases of restroom molestation flashed through Su Qinian's mind.
"Please take a good look. This is the men's restroom." Su Qinian said coldly. He was glad that he had just entered.
Lin Jinran was stunned. She knew this was the men's restroom, and the overly beautiful "miss" in front of her also knew. Then wasn't he a hermaphrodite?
Oh my god.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lin Jinran apologized repeatedly.
Su Qinian turned around with a cold smile: "Aren't you leaving yet?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were a hermaphrodite. I'm really sorry." Lin Jinran accidentally blurted out her inner thoughts.
Su Qinian: "..."
He had been dragged here by his friend. How could he have run into such a strange person?
Footsteps gradually approached outside the restroom. Lin Jinran was startled. Before anyone could enter the restroom, she covered her eyes and fled in a hurry, turning into the women's restroom next door.
Su Qinian: "..."
He hadn't even had the chance to explain that he wasn't a "hermaphrodite".
About ten minutes later, Lin Jinran came out of the restroom. She was completely sober.
Xu Jiaxin had drunk a bottle of water and was mostly sober too.
She saw that Lin Jinran looked a bit dazed after coming back from the restroom. She nudged her and asked, "Hey, Jinran, Tingsi said you went to the restroom. Why do you look like you've lost your soul?"
That's right. She had lost both her soul and her face.
Lin Jinran covered her face with both hands and mumbled, "I accidentally went into the men's restroom."
"Did you see something you weren't supposed to?" Xu Jiaxin became excited.
Shen Tingsi beside them coughed awkwardly.
Lin Jinran thought carefully. At that time, there was only that "hermaphrodite" in the restroom. Thankfully, there was no one else.
After the alcohol wore off, Lin Jinran belatedly realized that the person wasn't a hermaphrodite at all, but a normal guy.
And she had accidentally blurted out her inner thoughts.
Woohoo, it was so embarrassing.
Lin Jinran opened a small gap between her fingers covering her face and said dejectedly, "Thankfully, I didn't see anything I wasn't supposed to. It's just that... I mistook him for a hermaphrodite."
"Hahaha..." Xu Jiaxin laughed so hard that she pounded the table and tears came out of her eyes.
Shen Tingsi couldn't help but smile: "It's okay. You don't know him, and he doesn't know you. Let's just forget about it."
But it was still so embarrassing.
The waiter had already set up the dice. To end this embarrassing topic, the three of them started playing "Truth or Dare" again.
The three of them had grown up together and knew each other inside out. Telling the truth too much was boring. Shen Tingsi suggested, "How about we skip the truth part and just play dare? Otherwise, it'll be so boring."
The other two readily agreed.
As a result, Lin Jinran lost the first round.
"Please go easy on me, you two." Lin Jinran pleaded.
Xu Jiaxin propped her chin with one hand and smiled wickedly: "Don't worry. I'll definitely go easy on you."
"Jinran, you've never been in a relationship, right?" Shen Tingsi asked deliberately.
"What? What are you two up to?" Lin Jinran sensed something was wrong and looked warily at the two conspirators.
"Jinran, I'm going to get you a boyfriend today!" Xu Jiaxin declared boldly. She casually pointed at a good - looking guy behind Lin Jinran, "Go and ask for his WeChat."
Lin Jinran: "?"
Lin Jinran turned her head and saw the guy walking towards the KTV door.
He was really good - looking.
Only... the more she looked, the more he seemed to resemble the "hermaphrodite" in the restroom. No, no, no, the guy in the restroom.
"Go quickly. He's about to leave. Lin Jinran, if you can't get his WeChat, I'll look down on you!" Xu Jiaxin urged.
"Hurry up. It's for your own happiness." Shen Tingsi grinned wickedly.
Poor Lin Jinran: "..."
Lin Jinran gritted her teeth. She thought, "Fine, I'll go. It can't be the same person. It can't be that coincidental."
And the guy couldn't possibly remember her.
Little did she know that the guy had already remembered her because of her astonishing words.
The lights in the KTV were swaying, and everyone's eyes were blurred.
Lin Jinran saw that the guy was about to reach the door and leave. In a hurry, she quickened her pace.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Please wait..."
Hearing the urgent voice, Su Qinian really stopped in his tracks. He turned around and took a closer look. Isn't this the girl who had called him a "hermaphrodite" in the restroom?
What, was she coming over to apologize?
Thinking of this, his gloomy mood improved a bit.
At least she still had a conscience.
Su Qinian stood there, crossing his arms and waiting for the girl's apology.
Seeing that the guy had really stopped after hearing her words, Lin Jinran's eyes lit up. She chased after him even more eagerly.
When passing a corner, she slipped on the floor. Lin Jinran's mind went blank instantly, and she rushed straight towards the guy.
Su Qinian was stunned. The image of Lin Jinran in his eyes kept getting bigger and bigger until it filled his vision.
"Help!" Lin Jinran didn't know why she kept embarrassing herself in front of this guy.
In mid - air, she desperately tried to grab something, but she couldn't grab anything except the guy in front of her.
In a hurry, Lin Jinran only managed to grab the guy's pants. With a "thud", she fell down.
"What are you doing?!" Blushing with anger, the guy shouted in a fit of rage with so many people watching.
He was still holding his pants up to keep them from falling.
First, she peeked at him using the restroom, and now she was grabbing his pants?
Are there so many female perverts these days?
