Chapter 125: Chapter 119: Do You Really Just Think of Me as a Sister?_2

It's just as hard to drink as ever.But now, this harsh taste brought with it a different kind of feeling in his heart.

It was as if the harsher the drink, the more it could dilute the discomfort within him.

"Slow down, eat some food!"

Zhou Yujie quickly blanched a few dishes and put them in Wu Wei's bowl upon seeing this.

While eating, Wu Wei placed another bottle of beer in front of Zhou Yujie, "Senior, have a drink with me."

"Okay."

Zhou Yujie picked up the bottle and poured the beer into her glass.

She actually hated drinking and hated it when others urged her to drink, but today, she agreed very promptly.

"Come on, let's toast."

Wu Wei handed over the bottle, clinked it with Zhou Yujie's glass, and then took a big gulp.

Zhou Yujie frowned and took a sip before asking Wu Wei, "What's the actual situation with you and your girlfriend right now?"

Wu Wei gave a bitter smile and said, "She probably can't be considered my girlfriend anymore, can she?"

"Really?"

Zhou Yujie's face was full of surprise, "You guys broke up just like that?"

"I guess so."

Wu Wei's expression was bitter, "She won't see me or listen to me, and I can't explain this clearly either."

"How come you can't explain it clearly?"

Zhou Yujie somewhat anxiously said, "If you tell her the whole story, she should be able to understand."

Zhou Yujie didn't know that Sun Yi had already found out about Wu Wei buying her a phone and a car and thought she wanted to break up just because she saw them both in a hotel room together, mistaking that they had gotten a room.

"It won't work."

Wu Wei looked at Zhou Yujie, hesitated a bit, but still said, "She knows I bought a car for you, so she's convinced there must be something between us."

Zhou Yujie furrowed her brows deeply, her face clouded with worry, "Didn't you tell her that you only think of me as a sister and there's nothing more?" Discover hidden tales at M V L

Wu Wei shook his head, "I think she wouldn't believe it."

Zhou Yujie wanted to say more but suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

If her boyfriend bought another woman a car, a shop, a house, and then told her that he only saw her as a sister, that nothing had happened between them, she would definitely not believe it either.

Thinking about this, Zhou Yujie felt somewhat dejected, "So... you guys are really breaking up just like that?"

"It seems like it."

Wu Wei sighed, "She has already returned the car and the house I bought her, and she also sent back the money I gave her. She probably doesn't plan on being with me anymore."

"Ah, what a pity."

Zhou Yujie picked up her glass and downed a full glass in one go, her face filled with guilt, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to come over that day, none of this would have happened!"

"This really has nothing to do with you."

Wu Wei earnestly said to Zhou Yujie, "You don't need to feel guilty at all."

This really had nothing to do with Zhou Yujie.

Because even without her, he would have found another goddess to spend money on, and when Sun Yi found out about the car and house he bought, it would have led to the same outcome.

"How could it not be related to me?"

Zhou Yujie felt very guilty inside, desperately trying to think of a way to fix things between them.

"Stop overthinking, come on, let's have another toast!"

Wu Wei knew it was nearly impossible to get her to change her mind on the spot, so he said nothing more.

"Alright, cheers!"

Zhou Yujie raised her glass, clinked it with Wu Wei's, and then drank the entire glass in one gulp.

If it weren't for having to take care of Xuanxuan, she'd like to get completely drunk tonight.

The two of them continued eating and drinking.

Soon, the two bottles were empty.

Zhou Yujie then grabbed a few more.

Since she couldn't hold her liquor and dared not get drunk, she stopped after one bottle and switched to juice.

But after the alcohol hit her, her face was flushed red, looking extra lovely.

Wu Wei, who usually didn't drink, kept downing beer after beer until his head started to feel a little woozy.

"Senior, you get red so easily when you drink. It looks really red," Wu Wei commented, looking at Zhou Yujie's crimson face.

"Yeah, my face gets especially red when I drink," Zhou Yujie nodded.

Wu Wei stared blankly at her and said word by word, "Senior, you look really pretty with your face all flushed like that."

"Ah, really?"

Zhou Yujie was moved by his words.

She had never heard Wu Wei so straightforwardly compliment her looks before.

It seemed he was already a bit drunk.

But the words spoken when drunk are often the truest.

"Mmm, pretty,"

Wu Wei nodded, "Like an apple, makes one want to take a bite."

Hearing Wu Wei's words, Zhou Yujie's heart throbbed even more intensely.

She suddenly wanted to take advantage of his intoxicated state to ask a question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

This question, because he previously had a girlfriend, she hadn't been able to ask.

Now that he was single again, she could finally ask him.

Zhou Yujie's eyes gleamed as she looked at Wu Wei, took a deep breath, and began to speak, "Wu Wei, you..."

However, she had only spoken a few words when she saw Wu Wei suddenly lean forward onto the table.

It seemed he had fallen asleep.

Zhou Yujie froze for a moment, then let out a helpless sigh.

It looked like she wasn't going to get an answer to her question today.

"Wu Wei, Wu Wei,"

Zhou Yujie called his name a few times and then tried pushing him.

Beyond his heavy breathing, there was no response.

"Sleeping so soundly?"

Zhou Yujie was now somewhat at a loss.

What should she do next?

Wait for him to wake up?

Given the way he was, there was no telling when he might come to.

And it was getting late, the hotpot restaurant was about to close for the night.

She couldn't possibly wait here forever.

And if she were to take him home, she didn't know where he lived.

After thinking it through, the only option was to take him to the hotel where she was staying.

Zhou Yujie immediately took out her phone and called the hotel's butler.

Before long, two tall bellboys from the hotel arrived.

With their help, they managed to get Wu Wei into a room in the hotel smoothly.

Looking at Wu Wei, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Zhou Yujie felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of relief and satisfaction.

After asking the butler to add an extra bed in the living room, Zhou Yujie moved the already asleep Xuanxuan to the bed there.

Then she returned to the bedroom and took the phone out of Wu Wei's pocket.

Using his fingerprint to unlock it, she opened his call log.

After finding Sun Yi's number, she dialed it with her own phone.

The call connected quickly, and Sun Yi's voice came through the receiver, "Hello, who is this?"

Zhou Yujie's emotions inexplicably tensed up as she replied, "It's Zhou Yujie."

Zhou Yujie?

Sun Yi, who had just returned to her dorm from the laboratory, looked surprised. She had not expected Zhou Yujie to call her!

Her voice brimming with irritation, she said, "What do you want?"

Zhou Yujie glanced at Wu Wei on the bed and said, "Wu Wei got drunk today."

"So what if he's drunk, what's it got to do with me?"

Sun Yi replied coldly, "You're calling just to tell me this? You can hang up now."

"Of course not, I wanted to say that he really loves you and cares about you. I don't want our relationship to cause any misunderstandings between you two."

Zhou Yujie spoke earnestly, "Sun Yi, nothing happened between us. That day in the hotel, we were discussing business regarding the hotpot restaurant."

"What hotpot restaurant?" Sun Yi furrowed her brow.

If it had been Wu Wei calling, she would have instantly dismissed it as an excuse he concocted to appease her and would not have even wanted to listen.

But coming from Zhou Yujie, even if she didn't believe it, she would let her finish speaking.

Zhou Yujie had already thought about how to reply and spoke calmly, "Wu Wei bought a hotpot restaurant and wanted me to help him manage it, offering me a share of the ownership. At that time, we were signing the partnership agreement."

Zhou Yujie modified a few details, but it was more or less the truth.

"Partnership agreement?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yi felt a strong stir of emotions.

She remembered seeing a stack of documents on the coffee table.

Zhou Yujie said with an open and honest tone, "Yes, if you don't believe it, we can add each other on WeChat, and I can take a picture of the agreement to send to you."

With those words, Sun Yi believed her to a large extent.

Yet, she still had many doubts and knots in her heart that hadn't been untied.
