He used to be that greedy, opportunistic man who practically had the word "greed" written all over his face.

Now they've switched to a more understated, unassuming, and unassuming image?

Song Xijin scoffed inwardly.

They're putting on quite a convincing act.

Unfortunately, he had already seen through Lu Yu's true nature.

What kind of good person is someone who can act for half a year for money?

At most, it's just that we haven't seen each other for half a month, so I've changed my approach to catching him.

it's useless.

What kind of person hasn't Song Xijin seen?

He'd seen this kind of feigned indifference trick many times before.

This breakup is definitely happening tonight.

Song Xijin could already imagine Lu Yu's reaction after she broke up with him.

Shocked, unwilling, eyes reddened, lips trembled, and then she began to act pitiful and aggrieved.

Say things like, "We've been together for six months, how could you do this to me?"

Once they realize that playing the victim won't work, they'll reveal their true colors and start demanding a breakup fee.

That beautiful face will surely display a calculating and greedy expression.

It's a bit of a pity about Song Xijin.

He didn't really want to see that kind of expression on Lu Yu's face.

It's not that she still has feelings for Lu Yu.

I just think it would be a waste to ruin such a beautiful face with that kind of expression.

Lu Yu noticed Song Xijin's gaze and turned her head to look over.

Their eyes met unintentionally.

Lu Yu has beautiful eyes.

The pupils were a deep color, and at this moment they were quiet and calm, black and bright, without a trace of emotion.

Lu Yu looked at Song Xijin with a calm and composed gaze, devoid of any flattery or scheming, and lacking the clingy eagerness of before.

He thought something was wrong with Song Xijin, and his eyes held a hint of inquiry.

Song Xijin felt inexplicably uncomfortable under that gaze and subtly looked away.

He picked up his glass and took a big gulp.

The liquor was very strong, and even though it was diluted somewhat by the water that had melted the ice, it still burned his throat.

Seeing that he had finished his drink, Lu Yu poured him another cup.

Song Xijin didn't even look at it, picked it up and drank it again.

Feng Zhounan was telling a joke about some new project, talking about the internet bubble.

Tan Yao joined in the commotion, while Zheng Ke chimed in with jokes.

Song Xijin didn't listen to a word he said, and just sipped the wine in his glass half-heartedly.

Ever since Lu Yu arrived, he's been a little distracted tonight.

Lu Yu drank two more glasses of wine for him.

When Lu Yu pressed down on his wrist again, Song Xijin finally looked up at him.

Lu Yu's fingers pressed on his wrist bone, the pads of his fingers warm and dry, the pressure light, just a gentle touch.

His hands were wide with distinct knuckles, and his nails were neatly trimmed.

They are a very beautiful pair of hands.

"You've had a bit too much to drink tonight," Lu Yu said, looking into Song Xijin's eyes, her voice clear and crisp. "Let me drink."

As he spoke, he naturally took the cup from Song Xijin's hand.

Fingertips brushed across Song Xijin's palm, leaving a fleeting warmth.

Song Xijin's hands were now empty.

Watching Lu Yu tilt his head back and drink the glass of wine for him, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and then he put the empty glass on the table.

Pick up the bottle and refill it.

The whole process was natural and skillful.

Song Xijin leaned back on the sofa, tilting her head to look at him for a while:

"Okay, you can do it."

He didn't argue with Lu Yu.

After all, Lu Yu is still her boyfriend, so it's only right that she takes a few drinks for him.

Even on the last night before the breakup, that identity still existed.

The obligations that must be fulfilled must still be fulfilled.

I've spent a lot of money on him, so this is the kind of treatment he deserves.

Song Xijin hadn't yet noticed that he had unknowingly drunk twice as much alcohol as usual tonight.

It was almost 1 a.m. when the show ended.

When Song Xijin stood up, he swayed slightly, and Lu Yu quickly caught his arm.

With his other hand, he supported his lower back and steadied him.

Song Xijin leaned against Lu Yu and smelled a very faint scent of laundry detergent.

It's not perfume or any expensive spices.

Clean and light, mixed with a little body heat.

It smells quite nice.

Previously, when he was near Lu Yu, he could only smell the pungent odor of those high-end perfumes.

He sometimes wondered if this person had sprayed half a bottle of perfume on himself before going out.

Song Xijin's eyelids were so heavy she could barely open them, her head was spinning, and a burning sensation was churning in her stomach.

He frowned uncomfortably, his forehead resting against Lu Yu's shoulder, his breathing becoming somewhat heavy.

Lu Yu put one arm around his waist and the other on his arm, supporting him firmly.

Song Xijin is about 1.8 meters tall, but she is still a little less than half a head shorter than Lu Yu.

When she leaned in like that, she was almost embedded in his arms.

"Did Young Master Tan call a designated driver? Would it be convenient for you to give Xi Jin a ride?" Lu Yu looked up at Tan Yao, who was walking over.

Tan Yao saw Song Xijin leaning on Lu Yu's shoulder with her eyes closed, and his gaze swept back and forth between the two of them.

He casually asked, "Xi Jin, how about I give you a ride?"

Song Xijin didn't open her eyes and waved her hand casually.

His voice was somewhat slurred due to the alcohol, and his tone remained as distant and indifferent as ever.

"Need not."

Tan Yao shrugged and didn't say anything more.

He knew Song Xijin's temperament; once he made up his mind, no one could persuade him otherwise.

Besides, her real boyfriend is right here, so it's not his place to worry about her.

The designated driver had arrived, and Tan Yao and Feng Zhounan got into their respective cars.

Before leaving, Tan Yao rolled down the car window, stuck half his head out, and shouted to Lu Yu:

"Take good care of Xijin."

The words were meant to be caring, but the tone lacked sincerity and sounded more like a perfunctory explanation.

Lu Yu nodded without saying anything else.

Luxury cars drove away from the bar entrance one after another, their taillights slowly turning into halos of light in the night.

When the car arrived, Lu Yu helped Song Xijin into the car he had called.

Song Xijin leaned back in her chair, her head tilted to one side, and stray hairs fell down, covering half of her eyebrows and eyes.

His breathing was slightly heavy, and his chest was rising and falling, making him appear to be asleep.

"The last three digits of the phone number." The driver glanced at them in the rearview mirror.

Lu Yu gave the last four digits of his phone number.

The address he filled in was a single-story apartment under Song Xijin's name, which was nearby.

The original owner had been there twice in his memories, but was unable to stay overnight either time.

Song Xijin owns several properties in the capital, and this one is the closest to the bar, so he sometimes goes there to stay overnight when he's had too much to drink.

The car drove smoothly into the night.

Song Xijin remained silent, her breathing even as she leaned back in the seat.

Lu Yu turned her head and glanced at him.

The light streaming through the window occasionally brushed past his profile, revealing a faint blush on his cheeks.

Beautiful things always make people want to look at them more, and Lu Yu was no exception.

Song Xijin has beautiful brow bones and long eyelashes. When she is quiet with her eyes closed, she has less of the aloofness she usually has when she is awake.

Lu Yu turned her gaze away and looked at the receding street scene outside the window.

He was already planning what to do next.

Song Xijin will definitely break up with him tonight. What should he say?

Would it seem too hasty to agree immediately?

Should I pretend to be sad for a bit?

Forget it, he acted too much in his past life. If he has to act in something like this again, then he's too pathetic.

In any case, they both really wanted to end the relationship.

Just agree.
