The girl was holding the card in her hand.

Fine sweat spread along the heat of his palm, and on the back of his hand were faint blue protruding blood vessels.

Li Nanli’s expression was calm. He supported his chin with one hand, and there was no change on his face.

However, it was Li Nanli’s unfathomable and distant expression that made the faces of the few girls across from him blush and their hearts beat faster.

Inside the private room were a lot of people. It was unknown which boy she had chosen. Suddenly, a whistling sound was heard. Then, someone said curiously, “Tsk tsk tsk. Fang Zhou, who are you going to kiss?”

“Damn, Fatty, are you blind? Her purpose and intentions are very clear. Her eyes are on the back of his head!”

“Wow… Shouldn’t she confirm whether it’s Li Nanli?!”

“Is there a need to ask? I have been in the same dormitory with Zhouzhou for a long time. She has never chased after stars, but the only male idol here is Li Nanli! This is simply a dream! It’s a big dream come true!”

“Is Zhouzhou’s male idol Li Nanli? I thought Zhouzhou only cared about studying…”

“Thank you, karaoke. Thank you, Yu City. Thank you, Young Master Song Fang, for making Zhouzhou’s dream a reality!”

“But doesn’t Li Nanli have a girlfriend?” Wang Yu, who was sitting at the table, muttered.

Fatty pulled Wang Yu’s sleeve. “It’s not a French kiss. This kiss is nothing. Li Nanli is different from us. He is tall and built and he is in this position at such a young age. We agreed to play the game, and he’s willing to admit defeat. Do you think he’s a person who wouldn’t keep his word?”

In the noisy room, the atmosphere was tense, and everyone was boisterous. It was probably because Li Nanli was too cooperative and had not been pretentious during the previous round. The people present were no longer as reserved as they had been at the beginning and they only cared about taunting others.

The noise drowned out Wang Yu’s last sentence.

Fang Zhou clenched his palms. His face was as red as a cooked shrimp shell, and even his gaze was a little erratic.

He had the bashful look of a little girl.

Li Nanli noticed and looked at Fu Zhi.

The girl touched the red strawberry candy jar on her legs and didn’t say anything.

In the dim room, her expression wasn’t very clear, so no one could tell what she was thinking.

The girl walked to stand in front of Li Nanli.

At the end of the day, as countless pairs of expectant eyes watched, she was still unwilling to take the next step.

She looked hesitant.

“Zhouzhou, don’t be a coward! If you miss this chance, you won’t get another!” someone reminded her in a low voice.

Then, some boys started to jeer.

“Exactly. Li Nanli didn’t say no. How can you be so shy, Zhouzhou?”

“Kiss him! Kiss him!”

“It’s a simple game. Zhouzhou, do you think you can’t play anymore?”

The boys did not mind the drama.

Their encouragement finally increased the girl’s confidence. She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and looked up at Li Nanli.

Li Nanli ignored her and played with the lighter in his hand, lighting a cigarette.

It was as if he could not hear the noise around him at all. He was just sitting there calmly, the smoke blurring his silhouette. His expression was indifferent, and there was not even the slightest change on his face. It was as if he did not care about what the girl was going to do next.

However, only he knew that his mind was actually filled with images of villains fighting.

He even automatically pictured a miserable figure holding a bouquet of roses. At the same time, the thought of Fu Zhi stopping him was born, and he began to tear apart the imaginary rose petals in his hand. She would… She wouldn’t…

She would, she wouldn’t, she would, she wouldn’t.

The roses were almost completely gone.

Fu Zhi hadn’t stepped forward to declare her sovereignty yet, but the girl was already well-prepared, and her heart was beating like the heart of a patient.

Fu Zhi noticed that she seemed to be bending over, and a hint of frustration flashed through her heart. Just as she was about to speak, the man sitting on the sofa flicked the cigarette butt in his hand.

The scarlet light flickered in the dim room before it was mercilessly extinguished.

The man’s eyes did not move. With one hand on his chin, he said, “I’m not playing anymore.”

His tone was extremely cold. Even though he had just said two words, they instantly pierced the girl’s fragile heart.

‘He’s not playing anymore. Why is he not playing? Is it because I wanted to kiss him? Is that why he’s not playing?’

Grief and embarrassment instantly surfaced in her heart. This was unreasonable. They were playing a game after all. Li Nanli had clearly joined the game, but just as she had been about to kiss him, he had withdrawn decisively.

The girl’s eyes instantly turned red.

Girls were thin-skinned. Although she had known that she would be embarrassed in public before doing this, deep down, she had more or less fantasized about becoming special in the heart of the male god that she liked.

Now, the fantasy in her heart was shattered, showing that she was actually no different from others. In fact, she was even more embarrassed than everyone else.

The atmosphere was heavy, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at her.

Even though their fazes did not carry any malice and were just awkward, she felt like they were mocking her.

She could not stay any longer. She turned around, took a few steps quickly, opened the door of the private room, and rushed out.

“Zhouzhou, wait for us!”

The girls in the room felt sorry for her and looked in Li Nanli’s direction. When they saw that the man’s eyes were cold and emotionless, their hearts sank. They sighed silently, retracted their gazes, and chased after her.

The door of the private room was pushed open and closed repeatedly. Four girls walked out at once, and the atmosphere instantly became cold.

“Um…” Song Fang, who was in charge of the group, wanted the Earth to open up and swallow him in the face of this situation.

He noticed that Li Nanli’s gaze was on Fu Zhi, and no emotions were visible in his eyes.

However, he seemed a little offended and annoyed, like a large dog that urgently needed to be appeased.

Meanwhile, Fu Zhi’s gaze fell on the candy in her arms. She frowned as though she was thinking about something important.

Song Fang was thinking about an emergency plan in his mind, but only a few words floated out of his little brain.

‘Life and death mean nothing to him. If he doesn’t like something, he won’t do it.’

He didn’t think about anything else. He just waved his hand. “President Li, don’t mind her. She only wanted to kiss you because she drank too much… Ahem… I mean, you’re her Prince Charming, but you’re older than her. Maybe she sees you as her father and wanted a father’s kiss…”

Wang Yu pulled Song Fang’s sleeve, hinting that if he couldn’t speak properly, he could donate his mouth to a mute person who needed it.

As expected, the gaze that fell on Fu Zhi was like a cold arrow aimed at her.

The man’s aura and expression were simply crushing.

Song Fang: “…”

If gazes could kill, Song Fang felt that he would’ve died 10,000 times!

Wang Yu helped him smooth things over. “She’s just a little girl. President Li, please don’t mind her. She didn’t mean anything by it. She was just infatuated for a moment. I wish you and sister-in-law 100 years of marriage!”

Everyone: “…”

They didn’t know why, but the words that came out of his mouth sounded like he was forcing President Li to marry someone.

However, Wang Yu was aware of the crux of the problem.

Li Nanli, who loved to nag others about how good Fu Zhi was to him, also liked it when others wished him a long time with her.

Li Nanli felt that he should add Wang Yu on WeChat.

The employees in his company had been slacking off recently. There were very few comments about President Li and Mrs. Li’s love on his WeChat moments, such as ‘President Li and Mrs. Li will be together for 100 years’, ‘Mrs. Li only loves President Li’, and so on.

However, upon remembering that Fu Zhi had not stepped forward to declare her sovereignty, Li Nanli could not help but feel that she did not love him anymore. Did she love him?

When a girlfriend was not jealous and did not beat up a third party, was it because she did not love her boyfriend deeply enough and she did not experience jealousy?

Forget it. In his opinion, any man who made a woman feel jealous was a dog.

But…

Li Nanli sighed.

His sadness was so obvious. Why hadn’t she coaxed him?

Fu Zhi had indeed noticed Li Nanli’s sadness, but she was still wondering what the flash of despair in her heart meant.

Before she could think of a definite answer to this question, she actually felt very upset.

She had always been someone who wanted a clear answer to every question. However, when it came to Li Nanli, she was obviously much more careless. Upon seeing that Song Fang and the others were like quails with lowered heads, all of them thinking of ways to coax this great Buddha, she asked him, “What’s wrong with you?”

Was it too late to ask now?

Li Nanli was expressionless. “I’m fine.”

“Oh.” Fu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

After a pause, she added a few words that she thought were very heartwarming. “I’m relieved to hear that you’re fine.”

Li Nanli: “???”

Everyone else noticed the situation. “???”

‘Sister Zhi, do you think that he’s really fine? Don’t you feel that President Li wants a girlfriend who would throw a tantrum? The more he says that he’s fine, the more upset he is!’

Wait!

A girlfriend who would throw a tantrum?

Why did they suddenly feel that President Li would like a girlfriend who would throw a tantrum when he was with Sister Zhi?

Shouldn’t this kind of situation be handled more smoothly by couples?

“Ah, I understand. No wonder I thought that President Li and Sister Zhi were a good match at the beginning. Now I know that President Li and Sister Zhi are a really good match. Sister Zhi is not afraid of President Li at all and dares to mess with him! President Li also likes to talk to Sister Zhi. I like watching them talk!”

“Sister Zhi is so silly. Can’t she see that President Li is suffering?”

“Sister Zhi only has an IQ, not an EQ. She’s too much like a straight man. She doesn’t have much of an EQ!”

“Her tone is exactly the same as my first love’s, who was a little boy. I am so moved and grateful!”

“Fortunately, these two people are not related. They are not boyfriend and girlfriend. Otherwise, they would definitely be happy till death did them part!”

“…”

The students next to him were chattering. Song Fang felt that sister Zhi and President Li were acting strange.. He picked up the card that had fallen on the ground, held his beer bottle, and shook it. “What are you chattering about? Since President Li isn’t playing, let’s continue! If we don’t let Wang Yu run, no one else will leave today!”
