Chapter 512 - Indulging Gu Guang

CHAPTER 512
"Thanks. You really are saying I just have to go?"
"Yes, Gu Guang. Now hurry because I am lazy at this." Just then a serving boy walked up in their direction and Du Lanying blocked him. "Wait, please follow my friend and give her those drinks."
"Yes ma'am." He responded with a nod and turned to face the already tipsy girl. "Ma'am, where to?"
"Just come with me. Well from behind me." Turning to face Du Lanying, she smiled at her while wobbling on her feet a little. "Thanks."
Without a second to waste, she managed to find her way over to Li Jing and upon seeing her, she smiled brightly. "Li Jing!" She half yelled at her, earning her a few stares along the way.
But Gu Guang was already too tipsy to even bother with their pitiful look. Seeing that she finally got Li Jing's attention, she walked over fully, coming to a stop in front of her.
"Li Jing. Remember me?"
Watching the tipsy girl, Li Jing narrowed her eyes at her. "I am sorry but I do not know you."
"Why won't you know me? Is it because I am not famous like you?"
"Oh no. I mean we have not met before now, have we?"
"Well," she looked sullen all of a sudden. "We haven't I suppose but I always admire you from afar," the girl continued.
"Oh, thanks. I am not much. You can become what you want as well. It is good to set goals and achieve them, alright?" She looked around a bit, everyone was too busy with their own affairs or listening to the host.
Shaking her head, she looked at the girl again.
"Come, what is your name?"
"I won't tell you," she uttered like a little girl, causing Li Jing to laugh at her a bit.
"Really?" she titled her head up and brought it down again in a playful manner. "Why is that so, if I may ask?"
"It is…" she paused, closed her eyes and opened them many times. "Come and I'll let you on a very big secret."
For a second there, Li Jing was surprised at just how his girl behaved. It was cute and she got more curious. She had never been drunk in her life so she did not really know how it felt and seeing her behave this way was… Oh well.
Finally, she indulged her and brought her head closer to the girl. "So?"
"Umm, I am heartbroken!" She hit Li Jing lightly on the shoulder and laughed out loudly.
At that point, the host finished his speech and everyone went into another round of applause, so she was not heard neither did anyone bother with them.
"Oh, I see. Who would have had the guts to do that to such a beauty?"Shaking her head, Li Jing decided that it was time to get the girl somewhere else so she could sober up.
"Umm, come let me help you to take a seat."
"No. I do not want a sit. I want to have a drink with you." As she said that, she turned around. "Where is that serving boy with drinks I came across on my way here?'
She dimmed her eyes and searched until she saw him at a corner not far off. "Hey, over here."
Turning around to face Li Jing. "You will drink with me, will you not?"
"Umm, I think I have my fill already," Li Jing said, politely declining her offer.
"No. I see, you too do not like me like that loser boyfriend of mine. No one likes me. No one wants a drink with me. I just want to be happy. Why won't you drink with me?"
"No. It is not like that, trust me. I…"
Before Li Jing could speak, she was at it again. "Or do you not want me to be happy like you?"
"I do."
"They have a drink with me." She turned and took the drinks from the boy's tray. They were only two left, making it perfect for her.
"No, wait."
"I thought you said I do."
"That was to you being happy and not to the drinking." Li Jing was already having a headache with this girl.
"I am happy with the drink."
"You are already feeling tipsy enough. I do not want you getting drunk."
"Then just one. Just one. After this, I won't bother you with drinks again but just pour my heart to you. I see you are a good person. I just want someone to listen."
"Fine. Just one."
To Li Jing, a drink wouldn't hurt and then she would take the girl to rest in one of the rooms and leave her.
Since her heart was hurt, this was the best thing to do for her.
Taking the drink from the girl, she smiled at her and they both hit their glasses against each other carefully.
"To us mighty girls." She pursed her lips close and smiled genuinely at Li Jing. "Mighty girls, hehhehee…"
Smiling right back at her, Li Jing brought the cup to her lips and took a sip, before removing it from her lips. "There."
"No, you barely drank. Look, I almost finished mine."
To Li Jing's dismay, it was true. In one gulp she almost downed the whole content in the cup.
'What is in her mouth? A drum?' Li Jing thought, not understanding this girl at all.
"Okay let's go again. First to finish their drink. The loser would umm, sing and dance for everyone." She spread her free hand, taking it to the air with her genuine baby self on display.
"Alright. Here we go."
For Li Jing she was drunk, so even if she did not get to finish her drink, the girl wouldn't be able to pester her to dance. Indulging her one last time, both girls brought their cups to their mouths and poured the content in.
Just as planned, Li Jing did not empty her glass and drank just halfway. Gu Guang on the other hand stupidly finished it all.
"Yay! I won!"
