Ning Wei had both hands in her pockets as she walked through the corridor.
She had to admit that Fu Ming Shi had chosen a good place for them to gather. Even though he had reminded her to be careful, Ning Wei could tell that the security around the club was not that bad.
When she arrived, Ning Wei spotted a group of politicians coming in with their entourage.
Fu Ming Shi reminded them that they should not make trouble or offend anyone at the club. Most of all, they should pretend to be blind and deaf.
Ning Wei walked with her head down, not wanting anyone to recognize her.
The sound of footsteps coming in her direction made her look up.
Her brow rose when she saw the tall man. Looking at him from a distance, she estimated that this man should be reaching 200cm. Perhaps a bit more?
Her gaze fell on his legs. Ning Wei was a bit jealous of the man's long legs.
Unexpectedly, Ning Wei met the man's eyes when she looked up.
The light in her eyes flashed for a second.
As she was in the entertainment industry, Ning Wei had met a lot of good-looking men. Still, the tall man in front of her caught her eyes even though he had a look as if he wanted people to stay away from him.
The man frowned unhappily before he looked away.
They walked past each other.
Ning Wei glanced at the man's shoulder and sighed.
She had to raise her head slightly just to glance at the man's shoulder. She thought that with her height, her eyes would fall straight to the man's shoulder.
Why is this man so tall?
Is he a monster?
She lowered her gaze to stare at the man's long legs again.
Ning Wei wished that she could grow taller. At least her fans would stop teasing her as the shortest in the group.
From the corner of her eyes, Ning Wei watched as the tall man walked into one of the private rooms and closed the door.
"Hey, Wei Wei."
Suddenly, something heavy fell on her shoulder.
Her brow furrowed deeper.
Without turning around, Ning Wei was able to tell that the person who had suddenly appeared was Wu Lian Jie.
"You're going to the restroom?" Wu Lian Jie asked. "Why didn't you call me? Let's go together."
Ning Wei's face turned darker.
"I'm going to the restroom, why should I call you?" With one swift move, Ning Wei swung Wu Lian Jie's arm that was resting on her shoulder away.
This man liked to put his arms around her shoulder a lot.
Although Ning Wei had wrapped her chest properly, she was still worried that Wu Lian Jie might accidentally notice what he should not have noticed.
Wu Lian Jie clicked his tongue. "So heartless." He looked at Ning Wei unhappily as he was pushed away.
Ning Wei hastened her pace until she reached the restroom. The moment she entered, Ning Wei quickly went to one of the cubicles.
"Where are you going?" Wu Lian Jie asked as he watched Ning Wei walk further into the restroom.
"I'm taking a shit. Lian Jie, you better not peek."
"Why would I peek?" Wu Lian Jie looked disgusted. "I'm not a pervert."
Ning Wei closed the door behind her and sat on the toilet. She covered her face with both hands and heaved a long sigh.
As a woman posing as a man, the most difficult thing for Ning Wei was going to the restroom.
In the beginning, Ning Wei would find it awkward whenever she entered the men's room. But after a year, she was finally getting used to it.
Knowing that Wu Lian Jie was outside, Ning Wei did not dare to stay in the cubicle for too long.
To her surprise, Ning Wei could not see Wu Lian Jie when she came out of the cubicle. She washed her hands and finally found her group mate outside the restroom.
Wu Lian Jie pressed his phone against his left ear. Noticing Ning Wei's appearance, Wu Lian Jie raised a hand, signaling Ning Wei to wait for him until he finished his phone call.
Ning Wei sighed.
If she did not wait for this guy, he would definitely complain about it later.
She leaned on the wall and took out her phone to kill time while waiting for Wu Lian Jie to finish his phone call.
The door across her swung open and a woman in a black dress walked out from the women's restroom.
Ning Wei raised her head as the woman's perfume wafted to her nose. The scent was too strong and sweet, making her frown slightly.
The woman seemed in a hurry. The moment she walked past Ning Wei, a small packet fell from her purse.
Ning Wei bent down to help the woman pick up the packet. "Hey, Miss, excuse me. You drop your…"
The words Ning Wei wanted to say remained unfinished once she realized what was in her hand. Her brow furrowed deeper when she saw the tablet in the packet. She had seen them before.
They were a sort of drug a man would use on a woman. This type of drug was often seen especially at a club.
"Thank you."
The packet was snatched away.
With an anxious look on her face, the woman turned around and left in a hurry.
Ning Wei raised a brow.
She wondered why this woman was carrying something like the drug. But then, she reminded herself not to be a busybody. That woman's business was not hers.
Subconsciously, Ning Wei followed the woman with her eyes. Halfway through, the woman finally turned and entered a room.
That room… wasn't that the same room the tall man entered earlier?
"Wei Wei."
Wu Lian Jie's arms once again fell on Ning Wei's shoulder. Seconds later, Ning Wei pushed the arms away from her.
"I didn't expect this from you," Wu Lian Jie said with a teasing smile on his face. He raised his head to look in the direction the woman had gone earlier. "I thought you were not interested in a woman. Surprisingly, you like that type of woman."
Ning Wei tried her best not to roll her eyes.
"But…" Wu Lian Jie placed a hand on his chin. "Why does that woman look familiar?"
