Chapter 454 – Raise The Stakes
The man was flustered, ''It was good. French kiss. I grabbed her…''
''Shhh,'' Shi Luo waved her hand before taking off her glasses, ''Did I ask for the detailed smut?''
''Then…'' The man was confused. This lady seemed to be heartbroken and betrayed in love.
''Haish… do you think this pretty girl has lost her mind after some tragedy?" a man whispered to another.
''It looks like that.''
The girl beside them sighed, ''Most of the guys these days are jerks. Look at her getting all riled up by the details when she was the one who asked about the kiss in the first place.''
''After your first kiss… After your first kiss…'' Shi Luo suddenly lowered her head, her eyes welling up with tears, ''After your first kiss, did she hang out with another guy the next day?" she scratched the table before drinking another mouthful of beer.
''Uh… she didn't,'' the man quickly shook his head. He left when another customer called him.
Shi Luo pressed her face on the table.
''See, I told you,'' The people started discussing again.
''Yes, you were right. Some jerk surely broke her heart.''
''He fooled around with another girl after leading her on with a kiss.''
Shi Luo held the beer bottle in her hand, swinging it back and forth before taking a sip. A pair of brown leather boots caught her attention.
She tilted her head only to be greeted by the sight of a drop-dead gorgeous man busy on his phone. ''Gotta… hiccup… Gotta say that you are the most handsome man I saw in the last 24 hours,'' she gulped the remaining beer before looking at his straight brown hair which was coiffed to perfection, his eyes turned to look at her.
He placed his phone inside his pocket as he stared at her.
''Can I ask you something?'' Shi Luo blinked.
''Was that some kind of trendy pickup line, lady?" The man chuckled.
Shi Luo was about to nod but she ended up shaking her head as she hugged another beer bottle, ''If I knew how to nail pickup lines, do you think I would be sitting here, all by myself, hugging my lifeless soulmate?" she glanced at the beer bottle.
''Pfft…'' The man cleared his throat when she glared at him, ''Sorry, I was rude for laughing like this.''
''Laugh… laugh…'' Shi Luo rolled her eyes, ''Every dog has its day,'' she used to laugh at Yu Mei's love miseries and look at her now. She is being laughed at.
''Did you call me a dog?" The man was stunned.
''What do you think?" Shi Luo placed her cheeks on the table again.
The man was about to say something when the bodyguard behind him stepped forward and whispered something into his ear.
He glanced at the woman who was already at another bottle by now. ''I am in a hurry right now. If fate decides, we will meet again,'' with that said, he turned around and left.
''H-Hey, my question… I have yet to ask my question. Did the girl you kissed go to hang out with an..another guy the next day? What logic does it involve?" Shi Luo felt her medical degree can't be used in stuff like this. Sigh…What a pity!
The people in the bar shook their heads in pity. A young woman losing her sanity over a jerk. It sure is pitiful.
…
''Have you seen her around?" Jun Boyan showed Shi Luo's picture to a guard outside the bar.
The man who had just gotten on his night shift shook his head.
Jun Boyan rushed inside the bar to look for her. It was just half an hour ago when he called Shi Luo to talk to her.
The day has been quite busy and he did not get the chance to call her earlier.
But little did he expect her to start cursing over the phone. Whether those curses were meant for him or not, he had no idea but he could not stop worrying about her when he heard the noises in the background.
After lots of coaxing, she finally revealed her current location.
He was surprised to know that she was in Amaranthine. But he wondered why she did not tell him about it before.
His eyes roamed over the place and soon, he spotted the woman in a corner with her head on the table.
Jun Boyan sighed in relief.
He quickly approached her before patting her shoulder, ''Luoluo…''
Shi Luo sighed before moving. ''W-Who is it again?" she waved the beer bottle in her hand before looking in his direction, ''Oh, it's you. Jerk!'' she scoffed before turning her head to the other side.
Jun Boyan: "_" How am I a jerk?
The people around heard it as well and they concluded that he is the bastard who broke her heart.
Under their accusing glares, Jun Boyan raised an eyebrow, ''What makes me a jerk?"
''Now, you don't want to admit it?" Shi Luo looked like she would start crying anytime soon.
Jun Boyan felt a headache, ''Of course, I am a jerk. Who else is a jerk if not me?"
''Good for you that you…you know it…'' Shi Luo had a good alcohol tolerance but for some strange reason, she saw three Jun Boyan. It must be his jerky aura.
''Alright, let us go home now,'' He held her hand.
Shi Luo pushed herself to her feet, her body swaying back and forth.
Jun Boyan pulled her into his arms. His attention shifted to the empty bottles on the table, ''Why did you come to a place like this? And why would you drink so much?''
''You want to go home?" Shi Luo slurred in his arms without paying attention to his words.
Jun Boyan cleared his throat, ''Yes, let's go home.''
''Raise the stakes…''
''Huh?"
''You want to go to my place then r-r-raise the stakes. Humph!''
He was stunned. What did she mean by her place? And what stakes did he need to raise? ''Alright, what do you want?"
