Who the Hell I Drink With Is None of Your Damn Business
As soon as those words left his mouth, the words of gratitude Wen Shuang had been preparing, along with her slightly softening heart, instantly jammed in her throat.
She helped Tang Yan up, her expression indifferent. "Well, quite a mess indeed. Sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of Officer Ji!"
Ji Shen had intended to pull her up, but Wen Shuang completely ignored his outstretched hand.
"Miss Wen, you certainly have a stubborn mouth."
Wen Shuang took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the urge to snap right back at him.
After all, Ji Shen had indeed saved her just now, and she had no desire to bicker with him over this!
Tang Yan muttered drunkenly, "More than a mess! More than just not coming back! Or maybe... is he still being all cozy with his ex-girlfriend right now... Then what about me? What am I!"
Wen Shuang hurriedly coaxed her, "Yanyan, come home with me tonight, be a good girl now."
Tang Yan clung to her arm, swaying uncomfortably.
Ji Shen frowned.
"I'll drive you back."
Wen Shuang shook her head. "No need, Officer Ji. I don't want to cause you any more trouble!"
"I don't mind a little more trouble."
Wen Shuang had no wish to have any further entanglements with Ji Shen. After days of not seeing him, his tongue was even sharper than before, and listening to him just made her angry!
She opened the ride-hailing app on her phone. "I can call my own ride, so I won't bother you, Officer Ji!"
Ji Shen grabbed her wrist. "Hailing a cab in the middle of the night with just two young women like you, are you trying to make me handle another police dispatch?"
"Don't jinx me!" Wen Shuang turned her face away, still stubborn.
Ji Shen knitted his brows, feeling as though he were currently speaking to a little hedgehog. "Wen Shuang, being this stubborn is pointless. Are you really going to let yourself degenerate like this?"
"Who is degenerating? Taking a taxi back by myself is considered degenerating?"
Ji Shen said, "It's not about the taxi. It's dangerous for you and Tang Yan to be out drinking in the middle of the night."
"What's wrong with women drinking? Are only you men allowed to drink while we aren't?"
Wen Shuang was utterly speechless. Ji Shen was still holding her hand, so Wen Shuang shook him off.
Right now, she had a drunk Tang Yan on one side, and a sharp-tongued Ji Shen refusing to let her leave on the other. It was truly giving her a splitting headache.
At that crucial moment, Bai Yan finally arrived!
"Sister Shuang, so you were here all along! You gave me such a hard time looking for you! I was worried to death!"
Seeing him approach, Wen Shuang's eyes instantly lit up. "Bai Yan, what about He Zhi? Did you find him?"
Bai Yan shook his head. "Didn't find him..."
In truth, he had finally found him.
However, He Zhi refused to come back, and with Tang Yan right there, it wasn't easy to say!
Tang Yan grew agitated the moment she heard the name He Zhi. She grabbed Bai Yan's arm. "Then where is He Zhi? Where on earth did he go? Why couldn't even you find him? Did he go outside and get run over by a car?"
Bai Yan: "........"
"Well, the odds of that... probably shouldn't be very high. Sister Tang, you should get some rest first. Who knows, maybe when you open your eyes tomorrow, He Zhi will be back again!"
After saying this, Bai Yan caught sight of the uncleaned wreckage all around. "Did something happen in the bar just now? It's as messy as a battlefield!"
Wen Shuang briefly recounted what had happened!
Bai Yan immediately grew worried. "That's way too dangerous! Sister Shuang, Sister Tang, I'll take you both home."
He then thanked Ji Shen for arriving in time to rescue the two women.
"I don't need your thanks." Ji Shen's attitude toward this pretty boy was even colder and harsher.
"I still have to thank you, though..." Bai Yan blinked his large eyes. "Both Sister Shuang and Sister Tang are very important to me. Good thing nothing went wrong! Otherwise, I really would have been terrified."
"Can you talk like a normal grown man?"
Ji Shen felt this green-tea-like little milk-dog was rather scheming.
Wen Shuang said coldly, "What's abnormal about the way Bai Yan talks? Officer Ji, you really like minding other people's business! Bai Yan, let's go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Yan cast a smug look of triumph at Ji Shen.
Ji Shen was royally pissed. "He's not the person you think he is!"
"Then what kind of person is he?"
Wen Shuang completely missed the look Bai Yan threw at him.
Every time she turned her head back around, Bai Yan instantly reverted to looking perfectly well-behaved.
"Officer Ji, don't be so demanding! Bai Yan is still young, and besides, he isn't as fake as you."
Bai Yan smiled brightly on the inside.
He proudly glanced over a few more times.
Cunning flickered within his fox-like eyes, yet in front of Wen Shuang, he put on an appearance of utmost obedience.
Ji Shen was burning with rage!
He wanted to grab Wen Shuang, but alas, he could only watch helplessly as she walked away!
Shortly after, Little Zhang called to say that the sleazy men who had gotten drunk and harassed Wen Shuang had now all been detained as required.
At the end of the call, Little Zhang even asked insouciantly, "By the way, Captain Ji, how are things going between you and Sister Shuang now? Any hope of getting back together?"
The mere thought of this infuriated Ji Shen!
In this day and age, how could such green-tea milk-dog men still exist!
"None! Go mind your own business."
Ji Shen hung up abruptly, unable to stem his anger whenever he recalled how Wen Shuang had argued with him over Bai Yan just moments ago.
He remembered that initially, Wen Shuang hadn't been this stubborn!
Little Zhang felt wronged.
He twiddled his fingers.
Clearly, Captain Ji was just useless himself, missing such a great opportunity. Captain Ji was no real man!
After getting drunk, Tang Yan drunkenly called out He Zhi's name the entire night.
After returning home, Wen Shuang received a text message sent by Ji Shen.
[Let me know when you get home safely.]
She let out a cold snort.
She tossed her phone aside and completely ignored it.
The phone screen lit up again: [Don't let Bai Yan come over!]
Wen Shuang rolled her eyes with haughty detachment.
Still, she couldn't help replying: [None of your damn business.]
With that reply sent, the other end instantly went quiet!
Ji Shen was hopping mad.
He ended up not sleeping well the entire night after returning.
He had responded to the police call the fastest, yet got scolded the most miserably.
He just couldn't understand it!
When Tang Yan woke up the next day with a splitting headache, her very first reflex was to call He Zhi, and the line finally connected!
"He Zhi, you jerk, where the hell did you go yesterday!! Do you have any idea how many calls I made to you, how many messages I sent? Are you blind? I was just about to report you as a missing person to the police station! Where were you? I thought you went out and got run over by a car!"
Having held it in for an entire day, Tang Yan's explosive force was at maximum capacity.
He Zhi's momentum on the other end was somewhat weaker. "Sorry... Yanyan, I made you worry."
"At least tell me where you went!"
"Xueyuan came back yesterday and ran into some trouble at the airport, so I went to find her."
Though she had prepared herself for this long ago, hearing that name still made Tang Yan's heart plummet heavily!
"Who is Xueyuan? He Zhi, we've been together for almost half a year, and this is the first time I'm hearing this name!"
After a long silence on the other end, the man finally said with bitterness, "Tang Yan, Lin Xueyuan is my ex-girlfriend, and also my first love!"
"Oh, so that's how it is." Tang Yan forced herself to remain calm, though Wen Shuang could see her fingers trembling continuously. "So because of your first love, you're breaking up with me, is that it?"
