chapter 67 - Some thoughts are unspeakable and unfathomable.
With these thoughts in mind, Pei Youchuan’s gaze was as deep as an endless night sky, enveloping the completely unaware Qiao Chuchu.
He ignored Song Mingzhen and the others entirely.
Song Mingzhen’s girlfriend raised her gossip radar and whispered, “Is he the third young master of the Pei family?”
Song Mingzhen sighed, “Yes, he’s the CEO of that popular mobile game company now. He’s rich, capable, and good-looking. It’s impossible not to admire him.”
His girlfriend’s eyes gradually sparkled with excitement as she followed Pei Youchuan’s gaze toward Qiao Chuchu. “So, this girl is his…”
“Pei family’s adopted eighth sister,” Song Mingzhen glanced at Qiao Chuchu, “Don’t look at her. She seems sick and likes to play with her bones, a crazy woman.”
“Huh?” His girlfriend was surprised, “She doesn’t look like it.”
She acted like a little mouse, her eyes darting back and forth, sizing up the atmosphere between Pei Youchuan and Qiao Chuchu.
Pei Youchuan kept looking at Qiao Chuchu.
Every time she turned around, she would fall into his deep gaze.
But she didn’t.
She looked at flowers, the sea, the ship, and her phone, but not at the person next to her.
The girlfriend smiled slyly, her tone dripping with teasing, “Aren’t they sending out double arrows?”
Song Mingzhen: “…Of course not. Pei Youchuan is a confirmed anti-marriage guy.”
His girlfriend got even more excited, “So, is he keeping himself pure?!”
She spoke so loudly that both Qiao Chuchu and Pei Youchuan turned to look at her.
Song Mingzhen was startled and quickly covered his girlfriend’s mouth, “I told you to stop reading those ridiculous novels! Let’s go!”
His girlfriend, eyes shining, kept glancing at Qiao Chuchu and was dragged away forcefully.
Qiao Chuchu watched them leave, suddenly noticing the burning gaze from nearby.
She turned and was met with Pei Youchuan’s cold, stern eyes.
Qiao Chuchu shuddered, “What are you looking at?”
Pei Youchuan, with a blank expression, replied, “What are you looking at?”
Qiao Chuchu was taken aback. Realizing she couldn’t beat him, she immediately shut down her thoughts.
【What am I looking at? Well, congratulations, you’ve provoked the softest person in this world! Provoking me means you’ve provoked nothing!】
Pei Youchuan paused for a moment, then smiled, “You don’t need to wait for me when we drink tonight.”
She rolled her eyes, “Mm.”
【Who’s waiting for you? I’m not that free. Not only am I not waiting for you, but I’ll also pop two sleeping pills and sleep through it. You can dance on my head, and I still won’t care.】
Pei Youchuan: “?”
He was already irritated, and hearing this only made him more annoyed, his gloomy mood swirling in his chest.
Soon, it was evening.
The cruise sailed across the sea. Pei Youchuan sat in the KTV booth inside, turning his mood into alcohol and downing bottle after bottle with a group of men.
Pei Youchuan raised his glass and swayed it, “Cheers!!”
Song Mingzhen, his tongue swelling from the alcohol, held Pei Youchuan’s hand, asking in confusion, “I just don’t get it, how are you still single? So many girls like you. Why don’t you take a look?”
Song Mingzhen pointed at a short-skirted beauty singing nearby, “Don’t you like this one?!”
Pei Youchuan didn’t even look up, “No.”
Song Mingzhen was speechless, “How do you know you don’t like her if you haven’t looked? You’ll like her after singing a love song with her, trust me!”
Pei Youchuan, irritated, snapped, “Are you pimping me out? What’s wrong with not falling in love? Are you going to die if I don’t?”
Song Mingzhen rolled his eyes, grabbing his face to look at the girl, “Take a good look, I don’t believe you’re not interested!”
The girl, holding the microphone, looked at them shyly, smiling.
Song Mingzhen shouted, “Is she beautiful?!”
Pei Youchuan stared blankly.
Song Mingzhen shouted again, “Are your eyes really empty?!”
Pei Youchuan stared into the girl’s eyes, shook his head, “No.”
His words were swallowed by the background noise: “Not everything can be held in your hands. Some things, like ice cubes, melt the moment you touch them.”
Song Mingzhen beckoned to the girl.
The girl quickly ran over, smiling brightly at Pei Youchuan.
Pei Youchuan suddenly stood up, like a mountain, towering over the girl.
The girl, flustered, held the microphone in her hands.
Pei Youchuan extended his hand.
The girl, blushing, expected.
Pei Youchuan snatched the microphone from her hand and put it to his lips.
“Give me a song by Phoenix Legend, ‘All for Love!’”
The girl: “…”
Song Mingzhen: “…”
The others: “…”
Song Mingzhen quickly caught on: “Alright, perfect for a duet. Let the girl sing with you.”
Pei Youchuan staggered onto the stage, “No need!”
He pointed at himself, “I can sing the female parts in falsetto!”
Song Mingzhen: “…”
The girl: “…”
The others: “…”
Not long after, Qiao Chuchu, focused on her drawing in the room, received a call from the hotel front desk.
It wasn’t from the staff, but from Song Mingzhen’s girlfriend.
After introducing herself, the girlfriend said apologetically, “Miss Qiao, did I disturb your rest?”
Qiao Chuchu shook her head, “No, what’s the matter?”
The woman on the other end sounded embarrassed: “Well, your brother got everyone drunk and won’t let anyone leave. He’s forcing my boyfriend to sing old love songs with him.”
Qiao Chuchu’s mouth twitched: “Sing love songs?”
The girlfriend sighed: “Yes, my boyfriend is lying on the floor, and since no one would duet with him, he’s singing alone. He says he can sing the female parts in falsetto.”
Qiao Chuchu: “…”
“So, could you come help? None of us can convince him.”
Qiao Chuchu was speechless and stifled a sigh: “Fine.”
She hurried to the KTV.
Wasn’t Pei Youchuan only drinking when he was unhappy? How could he be unhappy on a luxury cruise?
She arrived at the booth, where a group of girlfriends were anxiously waiting to take their boyfriends home. When they saw her, they brightened up, “Miss Qiao, you’re finally here!”
Qiao Chuchu: “…”
She felt like a dormitory supervisor holding the key, waiting to let college students into their room.
She stiffened her neck and walked up to the door, about to push it open.
Song Mingzhen’s girlfriend shoved a microphone at her, “Please stall for a moment while we pull our boyfriends out.”
Qiao Chuchu: “...Can’t we reason with Pei Youchuan?”
The girlfriend’s eyes widened in shock: “Do you reason with drunk people?”
Qiao Chuchu: “...No.”
She pushed the door open.
Pei Youchuan, not noticing her entry, was still facing away from her, choosing a song: “I want a song, ‘Dangerous Charm.’”
Song Mingzhen, lying on the floor in a daze, mumbled, “I don’t know if I’m charming, but I’m definitely dangerous right now.”
Pei Youchuan didn’t care. He stood on stage, singing heartbreakingly, “Why are the most charming the most dangerous, why does love make us incomplete~~”
Qiao Chuchu, holding the microphone, stood behind him, her expression like she was facing a thesis defense, signaling the girls to quickly pull him away.
Pei Youchuan loved to get drunk and cause a scene. He was stubborn and pig-headed! You couldn’t move him even with ten stubborn donkeys!
Hurry up and end this quickly!
