Sun Yiyi didn't speak. She blinked a few times, her wide eyes expressing her confusion.
She didn't understand what was going on. Although she understood everything Shi Lei had just explained, what he said had nothing to do with why Wei Xingyue was in his apartment and why she was wearing his bathrobe.
"Then I gave her a present and treated her to a meal. She wanted to drink some wine after dinner, so I initially suggest a bar or karaoke place, but she said she felt restrained in those places and it was better to drink at home. Since I didn't have any alcohol at my place, I went to buy some. It's cold outside. There was no need for her to tag along, so I gave her the key and told her to wait for me inside."
Sun Yiyi nodded. "I understand. So that's why she's in your house and why you came back with wine."
She obviously wanted to say something else. Shi Lei obviously knew what she wanted to ask, but he also knew that with Sun Yiyi's personality, she would never ask.
"I'm also clueless as to why she's only wearing a bathrobe. For that, I think we can ask her directly."
Sun Yiyi was hesitant and seemed to be struggling with the idea, since she didn't have enough courage to hold a normal conversation with a domineering woman like Wei Xingyue.
Shi Lei pulled Sun Yiyi to the door and knocked lightly.
Wei Xingyue quickly opened it, dressed neatly in her white dress. Although that she was still barefoot, everything else seemed to be normal.
"Did you explain everything?" Wei Xingyue beamed and asked. At the same time, she studied Sun Yiyi once again and realized that the other's facial features were just as refined as her own, except she was still young and had limited interaction with the outside world, so it felt like she wasn't fully developed. At most, Sun Yiyi was a flower waiting to bloom. She wasn't even fully grown as an adult. But even so, Sun Yiyi's youth and purity were enough to capture many a man's heart.
Sun Yiyi bit her lip and didn't speak. "Almost," Shi Lei replied. "Everything except for why you were wearing my bathrobe. Let's talk inside."
After they went in, Sun Yiyi timidly took a seat next to the dinner table and didn't dare look at Wei Xingyue directly. This woman was too dazzling, like the sun. The sun's brightness was enough to obliterate those of all other stars, causing them to disappear.
"It looks like I need to give an explanation, right?" Wei Xingyue crossed her legs. Her skin tone stockings appeared extra smooth under the lighting and were extremely tempting.
Shi Lei turned his gaze away. "I'm also curious about that. Why did you change into my bathrobe? And it's even something I've worn before."
"You went to get wine and gave me your key. We also had Xiang cuisine and the smell of spices was clinging to me. I thought that you would take at least twenty minutes to get the wine. You also didn't have your key, so I knew that you couldn't enter even if you were back. So I took a shower. But as soon as I dried off, I heard the sound of a key turning. I panicked because I thought you had a spare key. People who live in apartments usually keep a spare key somewhere near it, so I didn't have a choice but to put your bathrobe on. Do you think I want to wear it? It has the scent of a gross and stinky man. The thought that it would be your girlfriend instead of you didn't even cross my mind. Haha, let me introduce myself. I'm Wei Xingyue."
When Sun Yiyi saw Wei Xingyue's outstretched hand, she felt that she was even more dazzling. She didn't dare look up and could only reach out her tiny hand and shake it. "I'm Sun Yiyi," she said, her voice so soft that even she couldn't hear it clearly.
"If I knew it was a girl, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to put on the bathrobe." Wei Xingyue returned to the couch, sat down, and crossed her legs again.
Shi Lei rolled his eyes. "I would be in more trouble if you didn't wear it. Seriously, a woman suddenly appearing in a single man's apartment isn't something you should expect. But it's not your fault. We were too used to it, and I also neglected the possibility of Yiyi coming over."
Their words reassured Sun Yiyi. Actually, they didn't. It would probably be impossible to feel reassured when seeing the man she liked be with a woman like Wei Xingyue.
As expected, Wei Xingyue understood women more. She smiled at Sun Yiyi and said, "I'm quite a few years older than him. Your age is closer to his, so you don't need to worry. I just like the relaxing feeling I get when hanging out with him. I've never been friends with anyone like this ever since I was little, so please let me continue being friends with Shi Lei. Just ordinary friends and nothing more, okay?"
Although it was a question, in Sun Yiyi's mind, it sounded more like a statement that left no room for argument.
She was a girl who didn't know how to reject others anyway. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been pestered by Wu Haoyuan for so long. She was even more lost facing a woman with such a strong aura and could therefore only nod mechanically.
"Alright, I think our explanation has been very clear. So I'm going to continue with our original plan: drinking. Where's the wine you bought?" Wei Xingyue stretched out her hand.
Shi Lei smacked his forehead and said, "Aiya, I forgot! It's still outside the door!" He quickly got up and brought the wine and Sun Yiyi's thermos inside, passing the wine to Wei Xingyue and placing the thermos on the table.
Sun Yiyi also stood up and said, "I'll get you a bowl. Sister Wei, you should also have a bowl. We simmered it for a whole afternoon, and the taste isn't bad."
Wei Xingyue laughed charmingly. "Okay, I'm up for some!"
Sun Yiyi brought over two bowls and poured one for Shi Lei and another for Wei Xingyue. Wei Xingyue started drinking it, not even bothering to keep up her polite act. "Mhm, it's really good," she said, nodding. "It's better than the one Aunt Wang makes at my house."
Shi Lei looked at Sun Yiyi and whispered, "Why aren't you drinking it?"
"There wasn't much to begin with. I already had a lot at home and I'm still full. Brother Shitou, go ahead and drink. Don't worry about me."
Wei Xingyue sighed deeply when she saw this. "Can a woman not even drink soup without being tortured by your romance? I can hear everything and I'm not blind."
"How do you have so many useless words to say? Even the soup can't stop you from spouting nonsense!" Shi Lei replied unhappily and downed big mouthfuls.
The atmosphere finally returned to normal, but Sun Yiyi couldn't help but feel ill at ease.
"Shi Lei, can you stop being stupid?" Wei Xingyue asked in dissatisfaction. "Don't you know that you don't have a bottle opener at home? How do you not know to get one when you went to get the alcohol?" Sun Yiyi froze at her words.
She suddenly realized that it wasn't the first time Wei Xingyue had come to Shi Lei's house. And it wasn't even her first time drinking here. It looks like they are really close, she mumbled silently.
"I'll open it," Shi Lei said lazily. "I really forgot. I should've bought a few more wine glasses too. Always using plastic cups makes us look like country bumpkins."
"It's still early. Go buy it." Wei Xingyue ordered rudely.
Shi Lei did want to go buy it, but he didn't want to let Sun Yiyi stay in the apartment with Wei Xingyue. He didn't forget that Wei Xingyue was a crazy person. What if she said something when he was gone? Wouldn't the world turn to chaos? Although she acted fine just then, caution had to be exercised when dealing with women.
Sun Yiyi stood up shyly. "I'll get it for you…"

At a time like this, Shi Lei had hoped to hear Wei Xingyue say it instead of Sun Yiyi.
A couple is here in a small enclosed space like this! Aren't you being a little too bright as a more than fifty kilogram giant being? Why can't we drink another time? Or maybe you can go find someone else. Even if you don't have many friends, you should have a few drinking buddies! If you are that desperate, then you have a younger sister! Ask her to drink with you!
But Wei Xingyue didn't see herself as an outsider and made Shi Lei and Sun Yiyi seem like the people who should leave. She was half-lying on the couch with her legs crossed and shaking them lazily.
You're not a horse, so stop shaking your legs!
Shi Lei really wanted to ask Wei Xingyue whether they could drink tomorrow. However, he was scared that it would make him look guilty if he asked, since Sun Yiyi could get the wrong idea.
Left without a choice, Shi Lei stood up and looked at Sun Yiyi. "Never mind, I'll go with you. A certain someone likes to take possession of other people's houses."
Shi Lei stole a glance toward Wei Xingyue, but she seemed unconcerned. He didn't have a choice but to drag Sun Yiyi downstairs.
"Brother Shitou, I think I'll go home after getting the wine glasses with you," Sun Yiyi said as they were in the elevator. "I think my mom's still waiting for me at home. You should go and drink with Sister Wei."
What she offered was indeed a solution to the problem, since Sun Yiyi couldn't really hold her liquor anyway. But no matter how much of an idiot he was, at least he knew that there was no way he'd agree. At least, not so quickly.
"You just give auntie a call. She won't be worried if you are here with me."
"Okay," Sun Yiyi agreed sweetly, but when the elevator arrived at the first floor, she spoke again. "But I can't really drink and it would be boring to just watch you two. I think that it would also be inconvenient for you guys to chat when I'm there."
"It's fine. We usually just talk about random stuff. It's nothing serious." Shi Lei didn't feel guilty saying this at all, since they really never talked about anything serious, but telling Sun Yiyi just how unserious their conversations could be was inconvenient.
Sun Yiyi nodded again and followed Shi Lei out of the elevator.
When he saw the two of them walking out, the guard nodded specifically toward Shi Lei. Shi Lei rolled his eyes and knew that this guard was definitely getting the wrong idea. He was probably thinking that this brat definitely had some skills to be able to handle the chaos and still leave one behind.
Shi Lei specifically bought four wine glasses and a wine opener. He intentionally picked the most expensive ones in the shop, since he knew that it would definitely count toward the total.
Sun Yiyi seemed to finally make up her mind when they left the shop. She smiled at Shi Lei and said, "Brother Shitou, I still think I should go back. Don't worry about me. You should go drink with Sister Wei. I think she's good person, but I'm worried that mom will worry about me."
Shi Lei hesitated for a while. "Are you really not questioning anything?" he asked seriously when he saw her bright eyes. "Are you sure you want to go back?"
She nodded eagerly and smiled. Shi Lei ruffled her hair. "Alright," he said softly. "I don't know until how late that crazy woman will drink, and you shouldn't go to sleep that late anyway. I'll walk you out. But you must promise me not to overthink and get the wrong idea. I really have nothing serious going on with her."
"I won't. I believe you." Shi Lei held Sun Yiyi's hand and walked her to the bus stop. He took a glance at the bus schedule and said, "There's only one bus left and you need to walk a long way after you get off. I think you should catch a taxi back instead."
Sun Yiyi didn't oppose, so Shi Lei caught a taxi, shoved the money to the driver, and urged her a few more times to go home quickly and be safe. After watching the taxi drive out of sight, he turned around and headed back to his apartment.
Sun Yiyi sat in the taxi with her head tilted to one side. She didn't completely believe that there was really nothing going on between Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue. Even if there was nothing right now, the fact that they could drink at his apartment at such a late hour and that Wei Xingyue could use a his bathroom to shower said a lot.
The reason she decided to leave was because she could see that Shi Lei was very nervous around her. In her naive heart, she was satisfied as long as Shi Lei treated her nicely.
"I'm only Brother Shitou's little maid right now, so I can't mind his business. I'll wait until I'm back at university to confirm our relationship. Then I won't let other women drink with him. Especially this late! Mhm!" The little girl clenched her fist and encouraged herself.
Shi Lei knocked on his door and almost had a breakdown when he saw that Wei Xingyue had changed into the bathrobe again.
"Didn't you say that the bathrobe stinks? Why are you wearing it again" Shi Lei hadn't felt good at all when he saw Sun Yiyi's doubting expression. He felt somewhat guilty, since he and Wei Xingyue did indeed have some instances in which they had crossed the line.
Unconcerned, Wei Xingyue crawled back onto the couch and stretched out her long, soft legs. She fixed the bottom of the bathrobe. "Why else?" she asked lazily. "Did you want me to say that I have slept here before and hugged you while we slept, so I consider this as half my house? Of course I'll do whatever makes me feel comfortable at home. Although it stinks a little, I can wear it after I spray some perfume on it."
Shi Lei was speechless.
"Alright, lil'man, stop looking so angry. That little girl is quite naive and won't be mad at you. Hurry up and open the wine. We've wasted so much time already!"
Shi Lei wanted to fume at her words, but he could only open the wine and pass a glass over. "But I only went down to get the glasses and the opener with Yiyi. How did you dare change back into the bathrobe?"
Wei Xingyue beamed as she took it and touched glasses with him. "I'm a woman. I understand women better than you. I also went through that naive stage, so there's no way I can't see it. Since she left, she definitely won't come back again."
"Why not?"
"Empty the glass and I'll tell you!" Wei Xingyue's eyes were shining so brightly that the lights in the room seemed to lose their glow. She had a trace of cunning in her eyes, as if she was up to no good.
Shi Lei could only chug down the glass. "Fine, I did it. Tell me."
"She's just a small girl and would be somewhat intimidated by an exceptionally beautiful woman like me."
Shi Lei made a vomiting gesture. Wei Xingyue sure was shameless. At the same time, he couldn't deny it because what she said was true.
Wei Xingyue didn't care about Shi Lei's attitude and continued. "She probably felt like she would lose competing against me, so she decided to keep me out of sight, out of mind. I don't know what excuse she used to comfort herself, but I do know that when I made myself clear that I'm not leaving, she definitely wouldn't follow you back. Perhaps what she thought was that if I was going to take you away from her, she didn't want to be here witnessing it herself. Avoiding reality is human instinct."
"But we really don't have anything going on and nothing will happen between us, right?"
"Really? Do you want something to happen?" Wei Xingyue's tongued swept past her plump lips alluringly.
Shi Lei was immediately embarrassed and quickly waved his hands. "Let's drink," he said, changing the subject.
After saying that, he took a big gulp, only to choke on it. Wei Xingyue laughed loudly at that. She seemed extra enchanting in the reflection of the wine.
