Have you tried it?

  "Mei Xuan? Are you Tan Mei Xuan's woman?"

  The boy heard Jian Tong cry out Mei Xuan's name and seemed surprised, so he leaned over to look at her.

  Those clear eyes were like a handful of cold spring water, extinguishing all the dizziness in Jian Tong's head. Jian Tong quickly turned her head to avoid his gaze. What was she doing, exposing her wounds in front of a stranger?

  Especially when she heard the man's tone, it seemed that he knew Mei Xuan. She only said Mei Xuan, but he mentioned Tan Mei Xuan by full name. She didn't like being seen in such a sorry state by his friend.

  "Who are you talking about?" "I'm talking about Wei Xian, the 'Wei' in maintenance and the 'Xian' in priority!" She could only use homophonic substitutions to avoid that boy's piercing gaze. Jian Tong brushed down her curly hair hanging over her shoulders, pinched the wine glass with her fingers, and poured the Kaiping wine into her mouth.

  Coolness enters the abdomen, suppressing the scorching tears.

  The boy didn't bother, just shrugged and turned back to drink his own wine. Jian Tong inadvertently saw that his fingers were long and slender, with a platinum ring on the little finger of his left hand. A very thin ring, under the dim light of the bar, flashed clearly for an instant.

  "What about Jing Lanquan, has he ever offended you?"

  Jian Tong was lost in thought when the boy suddenly asked another question. Jian Tong was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was talking to her.

  Jian Tong's face turned red with embarrassment. Anyway, Jing Lanquan was a student and she was the counselor, scolding her own student like that was indeed unbecoming.

  Jian Tong subconsciously licked his tongue. A faint red glow flashed lightly in the water-like cherry lips, "What's it to you?"

  Jian Tong felt a bit uneasy, unaccustomed to being hit on by strange boys in a bar. Moreover, this boy had a somewhat persistent tone, which made her even more evasive.

  "Hmph..." The boy couldn't help but laugh and turned his head to look at her, "You have to give a reason when scolding someone. You haven't even tried it, how do you know he's ED?"

  Jian Tong shot back, "How do you know I haven't tried?" Jian Tong deliberately raised an eyebrow in disdain, "Have you tried? Please, take a look at the AIDS public service announcements on TV, same-sex behavior is high-risk! Kid, turn back while you still can, there are plenty of good girls out there.

  "Pffft!" The boy was taken aback, spitting out a mouthful of wine as he laughed at her, "You think I'm gay?"

  "You're not gay, how would you know if another man is impotent?" Jian Tong said with a straight face, and his courage was boosted by the wine.

  "Hmph..." The boy could only raise his slanted flying eyebrows, helplessly smiling at her, "I've really lost to you. Indeed, it's not right to reason with a drunk woman."

  "Do you think I'm being unreasonable?" Jian Tong said, drunk, with all the unpleasantness in his heart turning into sharp words, "Did I invite you over to talk to me? Was it you who came on your own? If we don't see eye to eye, then leave me alone!"

  The boy was startled again and leaned in closer to take a look at her.

  This glance, Jian Tong's drunken eyes finally cleared up, and the boy in front of him had a pair of peach blossom eyes. The narrow and long eyes seemed cold and clear, but were actually full of charm and movement. His nose was straight and tall, with a curved red lip below it. The lip line was clear-cut, and his lips were very thin, which should feel cool and refreshing, like an iced watermelon. There was a small shallow dimple under his lower lip.

  It is said that such men are both romantic and unfaithful.
