Ni Yue was holding Qiao Jing's arm, pulling her towards the bar, "Last time you helped me get my bag back, I haven't formally thanked you yet. This time, I have to do it anyway."
Thank you very much!"
"You have already thanked me. You helped me once before at the Yueji Pavilion and bought me coffee. Have you forgotten?"
Qiao Jing had no interest in places like bars, so she rejected Ni Yue in euphemistic ways.
Ni Yue shook her head and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, these two things are not mutually exclusive. The design draft in my bag is very important. If you hadn't helped me get it back, I don't know what would have happened.
I have to do it, so I must thank you solemnly."
"Let's go, don't refuse anymore, I'll treat you to a drink!"
With that said, Ni Yue continued to pull Qiao Jing towards the bar.
Qiao Jing pursed her lips slightly, with a helpless look on her face.
When she came out of the research institute just now, she happened to bump into Ni Yue before she had even taken a few steps.
As soon as Ni Yue saw her, he was extremely enthusiastic. He invited her to greet her for a while and expressed that he wanted to formally thank her.
Immediately afterwards, she was pulled into the car by Ni Yue without any explanation and came to the door of the bar...
Feeling Qiao Jing's resistance, Ni Yue's hand holding her arm tightened slightly, "Oh, little Jing Jing, go ahead and go, we're already at the door, there's no reason to go back!"
The sound of "little longing" made both of them startled.
Qiao Jing reacted quickly, because Ni Yue had called her this before when she recognized the wrong person.
Therefore, she knew that Ni Yue's "little longing" call was not her.
Ni Yue herself didn't expect to blurt it out, so she couldn't help being stunned.
When she came back to her senses, she said a little sarcastically: "I'm sorry, you are so similar to Xiao Jingjing, so I accidentally called you that. I really miss her so much."
"Although I don't want to think about the worst outcome, the possibility of her surviving in that situation was very, very low."
"Moreover, if she was still alive, she would have come back long ago. There is no way she would still be silent until now..."
At the end of the sentence, Ni Yue's voice became lower and lower, and her face showed unconcealable sadness.
Seeing her sad look, Qiao Jing's mood was inexplicably affected.
After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Jing said, "Okay, I'll go in with you and have a drink."
After hearing this, Ni Yue's depressed mood improved.
She hugged Qiao Jingjing and said excitedly: "You are so kind! Thank you, little Jingjing!"
"This title..."
Before Qiao Jing finished speaking, Ni Yue immediately started the conversation.
"I'm used to calling you this name, and I miss her so much that I can't change it for a while. Can you let me call you that?"
After saying this, Ni Yue looked at Qiao Jing with expectant eyes.
Seeing her like this, Qiao Jing couldn't say no for a moment, and finally just said: "It's up to you."
Anyway, it's just a title, it's not a big deal.
Ni Yue was very happy and pulled Qiao Jingjing into the bar. As she walked, she urged, "Little Qiao Jingjing, hurry up, come with me..."
At this time, Lu Zijiao was looking around with a wine glass in his hand. When his eyes turned to the entrance, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Ni Yue.
This discovery made Lu Zijiao raise his eyebrows in surprise, "Huh? Isn't that Ni Yue!"
Zhan Qi Pei was drinking alone and had no interest in what Lu Zijiao said.
His indifference did not affect Lu Zijiao at all.
Lu Zijiao continued to stare at Ni Yue, "Hey, Ni Yue is also holding on to someone. This person seems to be..."
Halfway through the words, Ni Yue's loud voice came over, "Xiao Jingjing, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"
Hearing this title, Zhan Qipei's hand holding the wine glass suddenly stopped.
The next second, the wine glass slipped from his hand and fell on the carpet at his feet.
In an instant, various emotions intertwined in Zhan Qi Pei's heart.
He slowly turned his head, his complicated and difficult-to-discern eyes scanning the crowd inch by inch, searching for the figure in his memory.
Soon, his eyes caught Ni Yue walking towards the bar.
And the person behind Ni Yue...
Under the flickering lights, for a moment, Zhan Qi Pei really thought he saw the woman he thought about day and night.
However, when he took a closer look, he realized that it was his extravagant wish.
The person following Ni Yue is Miss Qiao San whom he just mentioned to Lu Zijiao...
Ni Yue pulled Qiao Jingjing to the bar and sat down. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Xiao Jingjing, what do you want to drink? Red wine? Or champagne?"
"Red bar." Qiao Jing replied lightly.
"Then let's have a bottle of red wine first. We won't go home until we get drunk today!"
Hearing Ni Yue's words, the corner of Qiao Jing's mouth twitched slightly.
What she just said seemed to be about drinking two glasses of wine, but when it came to Ni Yue's mouth, she immediately became completely drunk?!
At this time, Lu Zijiao, who was sitting in the booth next to him, said with some suspicion: "It's strange, why does Ni Yue call her Xiao Jingjing? Isn't Xiao Jingjing Ni Yue's special nickname for Qiao Jing?"
Zhan Qipei looked away and continued to drink with his head down, with a stern look on his angular face, as if he didn't care about anything.
Over at the bar, Ni Yue took Qiao Jingjing to drink while chatting with her about "little Jingjing".
While chatting and drinking like this, after a while, Ni Yue became a little drunk.
"No, I feel like vomiting. Xiao Jingjing, please wait for me here for a while while I go to the bathroom..."
Before she finished speaking, Ni Yue got up and went to the bathroom.
Qiao Jing raised her hand and pressed her temples, feeling a little dizzy.
This Ni Yue not only drank heavily, but also kept making her drink. She really went with the goal of never getting drunk and never coming back!
If Ni Yue asks her to drink again in the future, she must think carefully...
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Ni Yue still didn't come back. Qiao Jing was worried that something had happened to her, so she planned to get up and look for her.
As soon as he stood up, a dizzying feeling suddenly came over him. Qiao Jing swayed and sat back down.
Over at the booth, Zhan Qi Pei put down his wine glass, stood up suddenly, and said indifferently, "Let's go back."
"Ah?" Lu Zijiao was a little surprised, "Going back so soon? Are you serious? What is this? The wonderful nightlife has just begun, right?"
As he spoke, he tapped the surface of the watch on his wrist to signal Zhan Qi Pei to check the time.
Zhan Qi Pei didn't look at the time, but glanced at him, "Then you can take your time and play by yourself."
"Brother, I didn't take you like this. You called me out. But I was just about to have fun, and you were about to leave. This is not okay. You must stay and have a few more drinks with me!"
Just as Lu Zijiao finished speaking, the voices of several men talking next to him suddenly came from next to him.
"Look, that woman seems drunk. I've been staring at her for a while. She seems to have come alone!"
"Don't tell me, although this woman has some acne on her face, her figure still looks pretty good!"
