“Ziming, just give thinking about Little Chili a rest. We’re all helping you look already. We’ll let you know once we have news. Right, Liao dumb bird, Mingxuan?”
In the suite, Mu Heng, who was holding a red and blue cocktail and sitting next to him, winked at the other two people in the room.
“Yeah, yeah. Don’t worry, Ziming. Not only I, but my friends are also helping with the search, too.” Liao Gaofei nodded without hesitation.
Meanwhile, Fu Mingxuan, who was sitting on the other side, merely continued sipping his drink wordlessly, as if he did not hear anything.
Mu Heng was dissatisfied by his lack of response.
“Ziming, don’t worry. We’ll definitely find Little Chili.” While he was saying this, his eyes were on the reticent man.
“Right, Mingxuan?” He prompted the other with a look, smiling. “We’ll definitely help Ziming find Pei Ge, right?”
Fu Mingxuan paused at his prompting, then set his wine glass down, and smiled at him silently.
His reaction confused Mu Heng even more. Since the last gathering, he kept feeling that something was off with this friend of his, and it unsettled him.
“Mu Heng, why are you staring at Mingxuan like that?” Liao Gaofei was shocked when he saw the two staring at each other.
“Nothing.” Mu Heng retracted his gaze and idly leaned against the sofa.
“That doesn’t look like nothing…” Liao Gaofei pouted and muttered.
“Eh, Ziming, did you ask auntie about Little Chili? Maybe she has a clue on where uncle sent your girlfriend.”
Mu Heng suggested, worried about the couple.
Unfortunately, he had no means of finding Pei Ge.
“My mom doesn’t know, either; dad didn’t tell her this time.” The man set his wine glass down. His usually flawless face was showing signs of exhaustion.
Clearly, he was having a hard time since she left.
“Ziming, don’t think too much about it! Things will straighten themselves out in due time. I believe that you’ll find her soon!” Liao Gaofei said comfortingly.
As the two strove to comfort him, Fu Mingxuan remained quiet, making things look weird.
At least, the perceptive Mu Heng thought that it was weird.
“Mingxuan, I keep feeling that you’ve been acting weird recently; something’s not right.” He raised a brow at the man, looking candid.
“What’s not right?” the other asked back, smiling.
“I can’t put a finger to it, but it feels weird.” He shrugged. “I just keep thinking that it has to do with Little Chili.”
Once he said that, not only Fu Mingxuan, but Ji Ziming’s attention was drawn as well.
“Tell me honestly; does your goddess have anything to do with our friend’s girlfriend?”
Fu Mingxuan felt relieved when he heard his question.
Thank goodness; they didn’t catch anything…
He almost thought that his friend had seen through him. In the end, thankfully, he did not.
“What are you thinking? They’re just from the same school,” he replied with a shake of his head and a smile.
“Right, Mingxuan, have you found your dream girl?” Liao Gaofei asked. His attention was also caught by their topic.
Perhaps, only Ji Ziming was in this suite was not attracted to this topic.
There was nothing but that woman on his mind right now.
Fu Mingxuan picked up his wine glass and took a sip. “It’s a secret.”
He was not the type to joke around, but this time, he just did to Liao Gaofei and Mu Heng.
“Tsk! Mingxuan, you’ve turned bad now, too!” Liao Gaofei scoffed.
“That means you’ve found her already. When are you bringing her over for us to see?” Mu Heng teased, looking at him with a half-smile.
He took another sip from his wine glass, mumbling, “When the time is right, I’ll naturally show her to you all…”
If the day comes, you all will likely be in shock.
The four of them sat chatting in the suite, but the ambiance was not very good. One pair conversed, and another pair remained reticent. They only listened as they drank.
Just as Mu Heng and Liao Gaofei were getting into the conversation, Ji Ziming’s phone suddenly rang.
Picking it up, his originally calm face turned into that of wild happiness.
“What?! You’ve found Pei Ge?!”
In the heat of the moment, the usually composed man spoke aloud.
The room suddenly quieted down as the other three people looked at him.
Especially Fu Mingxuan, his gaze at him was complex.
“Send me the address; I’ll be right over!”
The man quickly said over the phone. He then stood up after he hung up his phone.
“I have something to attend; I’ll take my leave first.”
Before the others could react, he took big steps toward the door.
The rest did not stop him from leaving. They were just amazed that their poker-faced childhood friend would lose his cool so easily over a woman.
“Tsk, tsk… Women are all trouble,” Mu Heng grumbled.
Liao Gaofei, who was by his side, nodded. “That’s right! Look at how far women have driven Ziming and Mingxuan!”
Speaking of Fu Mingxuan, the two realized that he had stood up and was heading to the door as well.
“Eh? Are you leaving, too? Where are you going?” Liao Gaofei asked curiously, looking at his back.
“I have something to attend.”
With that, he followed Ji Ziming out of the room without looking back.
“That’s not right! That’s too strange! Stupid bird, let’s follow them to have a look.”
