“I’m fine,” said Zhao Ran, then she turned around walking away too, but she still looked very upset. She said to herself that she would steal Mu Ke away from Yu Mixi one day in the future!
When Gu Ning and the others walked far away, Gu Ning said, “The girl called Zhao Ran likes Mu Ke.”
“What?”
Hearing that, Chu Peihan and Mu Ke were surprised, but Yu Mixi stayed calm.
“No way!” Mu Ke felt it couldn’t be true, because he had only met Zhao Ran a few times. They seldom talked with each other and she was Yu Mixi’s schoolmate, while he was Yu Mixi’s boyfriend. How come she liked him?
Anyway, since Gu Ning said that, it should be true.
“Right, I found it out by accident. We had a good relationship, but I became unwilling to hang out with her after knowing that she admires Mu Ke,” said Yu Mixi. She sounded and looked unhappy and was clearly in a bad mood.
“Oh, no wonder she wouldn’t stop asking to go with us. It’s because of Mu Ke!” Chu Peihan said angrily, her impression of Zhao Ran decreasing even more.
“Mixi, don’t worry. My heart is yours. You can just stay away from her from now on.” Mu Ke held Yu Mixi’s hand to comfort her.
Yu Mixi wasn’t mad at Mu Ke because Mu Ke had no idea that Zhao Ran liked him. He had no interest in Zhao Ran either, but Yu Mixi still felt displeased because of Zhao Ran.
“Oh, please. Stop showing off your affection for each other in front of me. I’m single,” said Chu Peihan with dissatisfaction.
“If you don’t want to be single, find yourself a boyfriend,” said Gu Ning.
“Forget it, I prefer to be alone. It’s freeing.” Chu Peihan immediately shook her hand. She still wanted to be alone.
In fact, she stayed single because she hadn’t met someone she liked. If she met someone, she wouldn’t be willing to be alone.
At 9 pm, Gu Ning and the others arrived at Song Nan’s bar. Song Nan was absent today, but the manager remembered Gu Ning, so he arranged seats for them once they came.
It was still early, so there weren’t many people.
About a dozen minutes later, Zi Beiying showed up with Mengda and Nan.
Because of their job, Mengda and Nan didn’t drink. They would drive later, so Gu Ning could enjoy drinks too.
They weren’t alcoholics, so they only drank a little, then chatted and played games with each other.
In a bar, there were always drunk people having conflicts.
Chu Peihan was quite unlucky today. A group of men just tried to cause her trouble that afternoon, and now a man tried to sexually assault her again on her way to the washroom in the bar.
The man who tried to sexually assault Chu Peihan was sitting at the table next to the washroom. When a young man with a plain look saw Chu Peihan walking over, he directly grabbed her hand and said, “Come on, beauty, have a drink with us.”
Chu Peihan had a quick temper and she was in a terrible mood now, so she didn’t hesitate to grab the man’s wrist and break it. The man screamed at once.
Seeing that, other people around the table were scared. To their surprise, a girl could easily break one’s wrist.
Anyway, their friend was hurt, so five people around the table stood up glaring at Chu Peihan, ready to fight.
Because she was a girl, they hesitated. If she were a man, they wouldn’t hesitate to punch her.
“How can you be so evil?” A man criticized Chu Peihan.
“He touched me inappropriately first.” Chu Peihan retorted.
“He was drunk. He didn’t do that on purpose.” The man argued.
“Can I kill you when I’m drunk and pay no price for it?” Chu Peihan sneered and looked very unkind, frightening those men. It seemed she was really going to kill.
They were ordinary men, and they felt stressed in front of Chu Peihan. Therefore, they were struck dumb all of a sudden and didn’t know what to say.
Although the man was really drunk, he was unkind to women so he tried to sexually assault Chu Peihan.
In addition, why should Chu Peihan accept his sexual insult just because he was drunk?
The manager stood not far away, so he ran over once he saw that scene.
The manager knew that Chu Peihan came with Gu Ning, so he undoubtedly sided with Chu Peihan.
The other men knew it was their friend’s fault, so they stopped causing trouble, but Chu Peihan broke their friend’s wrist, so she had to pay the medical fee.
Chu Peihan refused to do that, but she helped the man move the wrist back to its original position.
Their friend was fine after the wrist was moved back, so they didn’t dare to say anything further.
“What a bad day today!” Chu Peihan was still mad after going back to her seat. She heavily sat down on the sofa, then drained her glass.
“What happened?” Gu Ning asked and others also stared at Chu Peihan with concern.
They couldn’t see the situation at the washroom from their seats, so they didn’t know what had happened. If they had seen, they wouldn’t have sat here quietly.
“I was walking by a table on my way to the washroom, when a drunk man pulled my hand and asked me to drink with them. I was mad so I broke his wrist,” said Chu Peihan angrily and drank up another glass.
“And next?” asked Mu Ke.
“The manager came to mediate. I reset the man’s wrist to its original position. He’s fine, and I’m back,” said Chu Peihan.
In fact, it wasn’t a big deal. Although she was grabbed by the hand, she was fine. She was just in a bad mood today.
Since Chu Peihan was fine, her friends were relieved.
At 11 pm, they left the bar.
After leaving the bar, Zi Beiying said she wanted to have night snacks, so they went to eat some night snacks.
When they finished and went back to Century City, it was already 1:30 am. They washed up and went to bed.
The next day, they got up to run in the morning, meeting Baili Zongyang and Baili Zongxue by chance.
“Hi, handsome man, we meet again!”
Once Chu Peihan saw Baili Zongyang, her eyes lit up and greeted him with great enthusiasm.
“Oh, hi, Miss Chu.” Baili Zongyang treated Gu Ning’s friends kindly, so he didn’t despise Chu Peihan.
