Li Che studied fashion design, so this question could be regarded as something that belonged to his specialized field.

Ten minutes later, her phone’s notification prompt sounded. In a matter of seconds, Ye Yuqing returned to her senses and quickly looked down.

Li Che: Blue.

Ye Yuqing was stunned. After sending so many messages, he only replied with one word?

Oh well, “something” is better than nothing. After all, she was taking her time in pursuing him.

“I hesitated for a long time and couldn’t make a decision. If you say so, then I think blue is indeed better. Studying designs is definitely worthy!”

“Tea making is for connoisseurs, so is this profession! Brother, you are simply too good! I envy you!”

Just praise! An appropriate compliment is a bridge to a good relationship.

However, it is proper to praise the other party in their area of expertise. That way, it will be more genuine and sincere, and not just having a false mouth.

***

Li Che felt ridiculous. In the end, she just patted the horse on its stomach.

(T/n: “patting a horse’s belly, butt, or leg” is a Chinese idiom for flattering or praising someone)

""

As the owner of the club, he does know how to make tea, but he is not a connoisseur. He has invested in light luxury brands, and his aesthetics are always on point, but how come merely choosing a color was this praiseworthy?#[email protected]

Li Che laughed.

He has always hated stupid people, but this woman is clearly not. She has a sense of propriety and approaches carefully so as not to make him feel unpleasant.

But to say that she’s smart, this and that are two completely different things.

Rather, “simple-minded” is the right term for her.

Li Che thought about it a few times and finally decided to reply to her message.

“You, did you know that you were drunk?”

He has been waiting for the other party to take the initiative to explain, but he did not expect this woman to be so calm and even pulled some kind of nonsense.

On the other hand, Ye Yuqing felt that her heart seemingly went up and got stuck in her throat.

Li Che actually asked! Wait, first, don’t panic! There must be a way to handle this.

“Sorry, I didn’t know that my alcohol tolerance was so low. You were the one who sent me to the hotel midday to rest, right? I’m really sorry. I’ll transfer the room fee to you as soon as possible.”

With a poker face, Ye Yuqing transferred 1,588 yuan to his account.

Li Che raised his eyebrow: “You have nothing else to say?”

Ye Yuqing has decided to play dead. As long as she forgets that incident, there’s no need for her to feel embarrassed anymore.

“Why? Did I do something while I’m drunk? Am I such a bad drinker? If so, I must’ve troubled you a lot!”

Feeling her scalp hardened, she finished the sentence and let out a long sigh of relief,

Fortunately, she ran home first. If by any chance, she had to face a confrontation with him, she would surely die.

Li Che was completely convinced. Was she really that wasted during the day?

So when she turned around after that kiss, did she already forget all about it?

Then who do I need to settle accounts with?

Li Che took a deep breath. This is ridiculous.

He felt a sense of discontentment, as though he had been abandoned and had no place to argue logically for.

Ye Yuqing, your character is very promising.

Li Che thought for a few moments before finally sending a message with a dark expression: “It’s nothing. It’s just that you’ve gone crazy back there, suddenly pouncing on people for kisses. Therefore, I transferred you to the hotel room to protect the others from harm.”#[email protected]

Ye Yuqing: “You’re kidding me… T-that’s impossible.”

She is a drunkard with principles, so how could she possibly kiss others? Obviously, it’s just one person. This is an exaggeration!

Li Che: “What do you remember?”

Ye Yuqing certainly couldn’t confess everything. She was determined to completely bury that incident away.

“Oh, my God! I’ve gone too far! I won’t dare drink again next time!”

“That… I didn’t do that to you, did I…?”

Three minutes had passed since Ye Yuqing’s message was sent, but there was still no reply from him.

Li Che: “No, you didn’t. I was sleeping at that time.”

Ye Yuqing was relieved; however, at the same time, she felt conflicted again.

Why didn’t Li Che tell the truth?

Did he think that that kiss was nothing and didn’t want to dwell on it? Or did he accept it calmly?

Feeling complicated about it, Ye Yuqing just replied “Good Night” to the other party. Anyway, this incident is considered over.

She has a good memory, and, in the future, there’s no more indiscriminately drinking for her.

***

The next day, Ye Yuqing sent yet another message to the other party and greeted him “Good Morning”.  She also sent the illustration that had been guided by Li Che, and once again, expressed her gratitude for the second time.

But no matter what she sent, the other party did not reply.

It seems that this matter is really over. Had she known this would happen, she would have admitted it right away…

On the fourth day, Ye Yuqing was completely anxious.

She felt that this won’t do. If this deafening silence continues, even if they talked later, the friendship between the two of them would be impossible. They will become nothing more than acquaintances.

Ye Yuqing got up very early and thought of going out today. She became more efficient in painting that she already finished up a day’s worth of progress at 12 noon.

After changing her clothes, she came out of her bedroom when her phone that was on the coffee table suddenly rang.

Ye Yuqing glanced at the caller ID. Usually, she doesn’t answer calls from strangers; however, thinking that it might be from Li Che, she hesitated for a second before accepting the call.

“What are you doing?” A man’s voice came out from the other side, slightly adjusted, and possibly from an older man.

Ye Yuqing was stunned and didn’t know who it was, but it was definitely not Li Che.

""

Although a little disappointed, she still asked out of courtesy: “May I ask who you are?”

There was a pause for a few seconds before the caller raised his voice and angrily said: “Ye Yuqing, you did not save my number? Don’t you think you’re going too far? Who do you think I am?
