Although Shi Lei felt like that this woman had some sort of reason which couldn’t be exposed to light, but Shi Lei couldn’t bear to see her shaking in the frosty wind after all. He took off his jacket and gave it to Wei Xingyue. 



“Put it on. Don’t catch a cold from this!” 

Wei Xingyue didn’t bother to be polite with him either and put it on straight away. She patted her chest and said: “Thanks, much better now.” 

Shi Lei saw her actions of patting her chest, he coughed in embarra.s.sment and quickly shifted his gaze away subtly. He said: “Don’t do that in the future. Oh, no, just don’t do it at all.” 

Wei Xingyue smiled enchantingly again. Now that she wasn’t cold anymore, her charisma also began to spread to those around her. 

There weren’t too many people at the barbeque stale but the owner was there. In this moment, he was holding a few skewers on the barbeque stand, but his head was turned 180°, facing Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue. He didn’t even blink and his face was blushing red as if a statue was shining from the fire. 

Shi Lei coughed dryly again and said to the owner: “if you don’t flip those, they are going to burn.”

The owner snapped back and flipped the skewers in panic without daring to look at them again. 

“You are fine with beers?” Shi Lei asked as he opened two bottles of beer and pa.s.sed her one. He even asked her in vain as they only sold beers there. 

Wei Xingyue watched as Shi Lei wiped the opening of the bottle carelessly with his hand and drank straight from the bottle. After a moment of hesitation, she mimicked his actions and drank a mouthful. 

It was actually a normal thing to drink beer straight from the bottle in a bar, but they were the small ones. She felt weird to hold a 500ml bottle of beer in her hands. 

After drinking a bottle of beer while eating peanuts and edamame, the skewers were also done. 

Without Shi Lei saying anything, Wei Xingyue picked up one. Although it was rather hot, but she happily munched on it. Icy beer, with the peanuts and edamame which turned cold, Wei Xingyue thought that she had become an ice statue. After two skewers, she finally felt alive again. 

She took the second bottle of beer which Shi Lei opened and gulped a large mouthful down. Seeing that Shi Lei was constantly staring at her but wasn’t drinking himself, she suddenly realised that it wasn’t very graceful for a girl to drink beer from a bottle. Even though she was such a charismatic woman, she couldn’t help but to blush. 

“Did you do that on purpose?” Wei Xingyue glared at him. 

Shi Lei didn"t seem to fake his blankness and asked: “What on purpose?” 

Wei Xingyue didn’t continue but her gaze subconsciously shifted to those beer bottles. 

Shi Lei stared at it for a long time and suddenly realised what she was saying. He quickly waved his hands and said: “I’m not as dirty as what you think. I really didn’t think about it. Sir, give me two disposable cups.” 

Wei Xingyue said: “Nevermind, I already drank like this for a while, I’ll just drink like this!” 

As Shi Lei ate skewers and drank beers, Shi Lei didn’t know what Wei Xingyue was up to as they didn’t talk at all. 

After they finished drinking a whole box of beers, Shi Lei saw that Wei Xingyue’s eyes were still clear and she had no traits of being tipsy or drunk. Even he was feeling slightly tipsy and Shi Lei secretly admired how much of a heavy drinker Wei Xingyue was. 

Seeing that Shi Lei got up and paid for the bill, Wei Xingyue was astonished: “Is that it?” 

Shi Lei noted down the sum of the bill and warned himself that there was a high chance that this amount of money couldn’t be counted within the sum and didn’t forget about that. 

“What else do you want? Do you really plan to be frozen into an ice cream here? Plus, it’s getting late, there are not many customers since it’s cold and the owner can clean up and go home.” 

Wei Xingyue frowned and said: “I didn’t drink enough!”

Shi Lei smiled: “Now I’m starting to believe that you are really in a bad mood. What, do I call a subst.i.tute driver for you, or do you want to catch a taxi home tonight and ask someone to pick the car up for you tomorrow?” 

Wei Xingyue was extremely dissatisfied and said: “How can you be like this? How can you stop drinking now that we’ve already drank this much? I’m not even done yet, how can you hang me  in midair?” 

Shi Lei was about to throw himself at her feet. He looked at the time and said: “Woman, first, it’s already past midnight. Although the night life at a bar is probably just about to start, but it’s about the end for places like this. Second, we’ve already drank six bottles of beer each. I don’t know what your limit is but I’m almost at my limit. Be careful, I might puke all over you if I’m drinking more. Third, there is a university around here, except for KFC and McDonald which are open 24 hours, everywhere else will close in about an hour or so. I’m afraid that there’s nowhere else which we can drink.” 

“Let’s go to the bar!” Wei Xingyue picked up the car keys and pressed it, pointing towards the Alfa Romeo which was parked at the entrance of the alley. The car’s light flashed and a clear beep was extra clear in the middle of the night. 

After walking away from him a few steps, Wei Xingyue turned around and said: “Don’t tell me that I can’t drive just because I drank. Whether calling a taxi, finding a subst.i.tute driver or driving myself, we must keep drinking! You just said that you believe that I’m not in a good mood, the person in the bad mood gets the priority, you don’t have the authority to speak!” 

Shi Lei was speechless and scratched his head: “But we really aren’t familiar with each other and I don’t have to comply to you. Uh, give me back my jacket. You can go wherever you want but I need to go back!” 

Wei Xingyue didn’t even turn around. Shi Lei couldn’t do anything else but to follow after her. The wind was howling more furiously than before. When he gave his jacket to Wei Xingyue, he was already shaking a little. Now he regretted that he shouldn’t have been so kind. Otherwise, she would’ve left after five minutes because she had rather thin clothing on. 

Wei Xingyue opened the door and waited for Shi Lei. She pointed at the car and said: “Get in!” 

“I’ll give you the jacket, I need to go back. I can’t drink anymore!” With that, Shi Lei turned around and left without giving Wei Xingyue the chance to react. 

Wei Xingyue’s eyes widened. Shi Lei was the least gentleman-like person she had ever met. Not to mention anything else, but when was she ever rejected by a man ever since she was young? Even without her incredible background, there were barely any men who could reject the temptation of her body and looks. 

But she had seen it today!

“What an unusual guy, how could he reject me?!” Wei Xingyue licked her lips. The lip gloss were long gone from devouring skewers and her lips were filled with the taste of it. 

She bent her back and climbed into the car. Although she wasn’t supposed to drive after drinking, but it was the middle of the night, there were barely any cars and since Wei Xingyue clearly knew what her limit was, she was going to be fine. Especially that she didn’t plan to drive too quickly and only needed to follow Shi Lei.  

Four wheels were obviously quicker than two legs. Soon, Wei Xingyue caught up to Shi Lei and followed him at a steady pace. She saw that Shi Lei was hugging his arms and shivering, she lowered the window and chucked the jacket out. 

“I don’t want your clothes, stinks like a bad man.” 

Shi Lei turned around and looked at her but put the jacket on in silence. Now that he was much warmer, he continued to walk. 

“Hey, are you really planning to take me to your house?” Wei Xingyue yelled in the car. 

Shi Lei ignored her and kept walking. 

“You are quite smart to guide me to your hosue like this, this surely stands out from the rest!” 

Shi Lei couldn’t hold it anymore. He turned around, cupped his hands and bowed: “Dear lord, please let me go, I really can’t drink anymore. You have a lot of friends so why don’t you just find one of them? I’m sure that most of your friends are still partying somewhere right now. And, first, I don’t want you to go to my house and second, I don’t have a single bottle of alcohol in my house. Although, I have plenty of water.” 

“But I have alcohol in my car!” Wei Xingyue happily said.
