Chapter 29 Drinking
"Hey Shenxu, stop drinking alone like this. Tell me, what happened? Is it about Mu Xiaoyu again?" The speaker was Liang Yi, a longtime friend of Li Shenxu.
Unlike Li Chenxu's resolute and handsome face, Liang Yi has a pair of peach blossom eyes and long hair. His features are delicate, but when combined, they have a kind of androgynous beauty.
He had originally invited Li Chenxu out for drinks and fun tonight, but Li Chenxu arrived and ended up drinking alone in silence. Even without Li Chenxu saying anything, he could roughly guess that it was because of Mu Xiaoyu.
He just couldn't understand what was so good about Mu Xiaoyu that made Li Chenxu love her so wholeheartedly for so many years.
From a man's perspective, Mu Xiaoyu is indeed quite good-looking. I've met her before, and she's certainly accomplished in comics. Considering all that, she's quite attractive among women.
Even so, a man as outstanding as Li Chenxu could have any woman he wanted, and it would be even easier for him to find a woman better than Mu Xiaoyu.
However, Li Chenxu, that kid, just had to stick to one thing.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu glanced at Liang Yi indifferently. In fact, Li Chenxu was already somewhat drunk at this point. However, unlike others who would make a scene when drunk, Li Chenxu was more composed than usual when drunk.
Hearing Liang Yi's words, it was unclear what Li Chenxu was thinking. A look of confusion, distress, and bewilderment suddenly appeared on his handsome face. This was the first time Liang Yi had seen so many emotions on Li Chenxu's face, which made him feel somewhat moved.
Having been friends with Li Chenxu for so many years, almost every emotional change in Li Chenxu was related to Mu Xiaoyu.
I really don't know whether to say this is a good thing or a bad thing.
“Liang Yi, you used to always ask me what was so good about Mu Xiaoyu. To be honest, even I couldn’t say… She has her strengths, but she’s not the most outstanding one. Yet, I just love her, so much so that… I can’t live without her now…”
At this moment, Li Chenxu suddenly spoke, as if talking to himself, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.
After all, they were friends for many years, and Liang Yi couldn't bear to see Li Chenxu so heartbroken and distraught. So he reached out and gently patted Li Chenxu's shoulder twice, saying, "Chenxu, take my advice. Don't hang yourself on one tree. I'm not you, and I don't know what's so great about Mu Xiaoyu, but one thing I'm very clear about is that the one who loves the most suffers the most. Besides, Mu Xiaoyu doesn't even like you."
Instead of getting hung up on one person, why not look at other people around you? After all, you only know if someone is right for you after spending time with them. What if… someone else is better than Mu Xiaoyu? Don't you agree?
Li Chenxu didn't speak, but stared intently at the crystal-clear liquid in the wine glass, it was unclear whether he had actually heard what Liang Yi said.
Seeing him like this, Liang Yi sighed again. However, the next moment, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly chuckled, took out his phone, and dialed someone's number.
Li Chenxu continued drinking alone, oblivious to Liang Yi's actions.
Time ticked by, and about half an hour passed. Suddenly, a tall woman appeared at the bar entrance. She had long, light brown curly hair that reached her waist. Although she was wearing a mask, making it impossible to see her face, almost every man who saw her was drawn to her the moment she appeared.
Any man who understands women even a little knows that even without looking at a woman's face, her figure alone is enough to drive people crazy.
Everyone's eyes followed the woman, and when they saw her enter the second floor, they immediately showed a look of regret.
Bars like Mirror are frequented by influential figures, and those seated in the booths on the second floor are even more unapproachable VIPs.
If the woman who just came in hadn't gone to the second floor, they might have been able to strike up a conversation and get to know her. But since she went to the second floor, forget about it.
"Wow, you're here so quickly."
Upon seeing Lin Xia arrive, Liang Yi gave her a flirtatious whistle. If it were anyone else doing that, Lin Xia would have already done something horrible to them behind their backs.
But she couldn't afford to offend Liang Yi. Although the Lin family was considered a wealthy family, they were still far inferior to Liang Yi and Li Chenxu. More importantly, if she wanted to take her relationship with Li Chenxu to the next level, she had to rely on Liang Yi.
So Lin Xia immediately took off her mask after entering.
Her face, as alluring as her figure, immediately came into view. After all, she was a big star; even at this late hour, she still wore exquisite makeup, which added to her charm under the dim lights.
At least in Liang Yi's opinion, Lin Xia is no worse than Mu Xiaoyu.
Thinking of this, Liang Yi gestured with his chin toward Lin Xia and said in Li Chenxu's direction, "What are you still standing there for? Chenxu finally gets to go out for a drink, aren't you going to come and keep him company?"
Lin Xia never expected that Liang Yi had asked her to come out to drink with Li Chenxu. Upon hearing this, she was delighted and quickly sat down next to Li Chenxu.
"Young Master Li?"
Lin Xia's voice was tinged with caution. In the past, whenever Li Chenxu came out, whether it was her or any other woman, as long as they got even slightly close to him, they would be chased away by Li Chenxu. Even if they were women, he would not show them the slightest bit of mercy.
Having had such an experience before, she was terrified that Li Chenxu would treat her the same way again, so she was very careful with her words.
Seeing Lin Xia's cautious demeanor, Liang Yi couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, you can drink with him without worry. Shen Xu is a bit drunk today. Lin Xia, don't you like Shen Xu a lot? This is a rare opportunity. If you don't seize it, don't blame me for not giving you this chance."
Liang Yi's words carried a hint of disdain. In terms of appearance, Lin Xia was no less attractive than Mu Xiaoyu, but she gave him a different feeling. He couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, but compared to Mu Xiaoyu, she did seem to lack a certain something.
It's like... the difference between a genuine product and a counterfeit. If you had to choose between these two, it's no wonder Li Chenxu would choose Mu Xiaoyu.
However, in order for his brother to escape his misery as soon as possible, he had no choice but to let him suffer for the time being. After all, once he gave up Mu Xiaoyu, there were plenty of good women waiting for him in the future.
