"I was childhood friends with her for over ten years... Actually Pei Qi wasn't like this before, she was just a bit proud and liked to speak sarcastically, stubborn, and wouldn't intentionally bully people."

"I remember when I was bullied as a child, she got beaten up trying to avenge me, she was covered in bruises, but she wouldn't admit it. Her dad had a bad temper, and if I hadn't gone to her house to explain, I'm afraid he would have been beaten to death."

"Probably after junior high, I heard from my parents that her mother had an affair, was found out by her father, and was beaten, she went to stop it and got beaten too. It was a disgraceful matter, and their family changed afterwards... Pei Qi, she started to go astray."

"Later, in that game of truth or dare, that's when she started to dislike me."

Li Xiaoran tapped her glass against mine: "It's okay, you've put up with her for so many years, that's enough. She walks her own path, she'll deal with it."

I didn't say anything, just lowered my head and took a sip of wine.

But the next second, she grabbed the glass from me: "Stop drinking, you're not some rich second generation."

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, you shouldn't drink too much either, rich second generation."

I laughed and leaned in closer to her: "If I get drunk, I won't be able to drag you back home."

Li Xiaoran blushed, backed away, and muttered:

"Why are you so close to me, can't you have some male decency?"
