Two days later, at the bar.
Qi Huai'an had arranged a meetup with a bunch of friends, but after arriving himself, he had been drinking sullenly the whole time.
Hostesses dressed provocatively tried to cozy up to him but were pushed away by him.
"Hey, who has upset our Qi Er Shao, starting off with sulking drinks right away?"
"Who else could it be? Besides Ji Yao, the apple of Qi Er Shao's eye, who else could make Qi Er Shao unhappy?"
"What, Qi Er Shao, did your little darling reject you?"
Someone teased the speaker with a laugh.
"Don't talk nonsense, when has our Qi Er Shao ever been accepted? Hasn't it always been unrequited love on his part?"
Faced with the mockery from these bad friends, Qi Huai'an gave them a lazy glance and responded with a single, crisp word.
"Scram!"
The insensitive hostess, giggling and covering her mouth, said on the side,
"Who is so ungrateful as to have affronted our Qi Er Shao's face..."
Before she could finish, Qi Huai'an shot her a glare.
