Her unexpected words fl.u.s.tered Ye Jie as he lost his equanimity for a while. He coughed a little when he heard her amusing voice again, "Did I just catch you checking me out?" He looked up at her narrowed eyes staring right back at him.

　　"It-It's a misunderstanding," His words faltered a bit which caused an amusing smile to linger on Xu Mey's lips.

　　"Relax, It's not like I'll eat you or something," She turned back to her drink and continued, "I didn't mind you checking me out. I check myself out all the time."

　　Her words lead another coughing fit to follow as he looked at her calm face again. Seeing his widened eyes, she added, "Don't you check yourself out in the mirror every morning?" Ye Jie nodded his head hesitatingly. "So, how do you checking yourself out in the mirror is different from me checking myself out?" She raised her arched brow in a questioning manner.

　　"Is it a rhetorical question?" After a period of time, Ye Jie succeeded in uttering a few words.

　　"Maybe... Maybe not."

　　Ye Jie trudged and settled himself beside her while he observed her features. Other than having a delicate clear skin, she had the most alluring black eyes. Ye Jie asked for red wine while she mixed soju with the beer in a gla.s.s. They didn't interact any further.

　　Eventually, she left the bar when Wu w.a.n.g dragged her to the dance floor. His eyes trailed behind her to the dance floor while she happily laughed displaying her beautiful dimple. Her dance steps were unhurried as she swayed her body a little letting herself lose to the beats of music. Her soft curls bounced forming an enchantment of dark clouds hiding her small beautiful face.

　　Observing her dance moves triggered a smile on his grim face. Alcohol was not Ye Jie' strong suit but her smiling face and dance moves enthralled him and he didn't realize how many gla.s.ses he downed.

　　'Ahh, my head hurts.' That was the first thought that came to Ye Jie's mind as he rubbed his temples to soothe the pain. His eyelids felt like holding tons of weight and it took some effort for him to open his eyes. In his groggy state, he saw the wall length gla.s.s windows through which the blazing sunlight fell on him making him shut his eyes again.

　　"Finally, you're awake," When Ye Jie heard that soft voice, his heart shook a bit and opened his eyes, instantly. There she was leaning against the door frame with a tray in her hand. She walked towards him and noticed his abashed look. She placed the tray on the side table and offered him the ginger drink to ease up his hangover.
