Deng Qi was preparing to join the team, Bai Shiyun was recovering from his injuries, Chu Jingshuo was in class, Xun Feng was playing badly, and Shi Yuan was free.
She suddenly remembered that Xu Lan asked her out some time ago and she happened to be free, so she sent Xu Lan a message.
The two made an appointment for dinner, and after dinner they went to a bar to drink.
Xu Lan stared at Shi Yuan for a while and asked, "Have you lost weight recently?"
Shi Yuan: "Probably not. I haven't missed a meal."
Xu Lan smiled and said, "Slimness is not necessarily caused by hunger. You must be under a lot of pressure recently."
Shi Yuan took a sip of wine and said carelessly: "It's okay. I have a good attitude. I don't care much about things on the Internet."
"I was worried that you would be affected before, but now it seems you are fine," Xu Lan asked, "Did you know that Fang Yuechuan would help you?"
Shi Yuan was stunned and said, "No, I didn't want to care about it at first."
Xu Lan slowly suppressed her smile, looked at Shi Yuan silently, and said after a moment: "It seems that your relationship is indeed extraordinary."
Shi Yuan: "...After all, we were old classmates."
Xu Lan: "I always thought we were the same kind of people before, but I was wrong."
Shi Yuan raised her eyes to Xu Lan and asked, "What kind of person?"
Xu Lan leaned closer, looked at Shi Yuan with a smile on her face and said, "You really can't see that I like you?"
"..."
The two looked at each other for a while before Shi Yuan said, "I had doubts."
"Is it just suspicion?" Xu Lan said in a relaxed tone, "I thought I made it obvious."
Shi Yuan's mood did not fluctuate greatly: "What do you want to do when you tell me this now?"
Xu Lan: "What else can be done?"
Shi Yuan looked at her without speaking.
"I thought you were a very ambitious person, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it, so I thought about boiling the frog in warm water, but I didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin, who was so powerful in combat, would come out halfway."
Xu Lan paused as he spoke, looked at Shi Yuan and asked, "Am I running out of chances?"
Shi Yuan lowered his eyes and said, "I actually don't care much about men and women, but Fang Yuechuan is a very special existence to me."
Xu Lan nodded: "Okay, I understand, can we still be friends?"
Shi Yuan: "Of course."
Xu Lan smiled: "That's good."
Objectively speaking, Shi Yuan has always liked Xu Lan, because Xu Lan's behavior style is the type that she admires. Otherwise, the relationship between the two would not be so good based on Shi Yuan's character.
I don't know if it was because of a premonition that Xu Lan's sudden coming out did not cause an uproar in their relationship. The two of them could still sit together and talk.
Shi Yuan was gossiping about the crew with Xu Lan when he accidentally glanced at a familiar figure and immediately said to Xu Lan, "I saw an acquaintance. Let's go over and say hello."
Xu Lan: "Okay."
Without hesitation, Shi Yuan immediately stood up and walked over, sat down opposite the little girl and said, "Why are you drinking here alone?"
Zuo Lan looked at Shi Yuan with red eyes, and said in a pitiful and stubborn voice: "You don't have to worry about it."
Shi Yuan could see that Zuo Lan was in a bad mood and didn't take her words to heart. He glanced at the empty wine bottle in front of her and asked, "Is it because of Ren Jue?"
As soon as these words came out, the little girl burst into tears as if her disguise had been exposed.
Shi Yuan looked at her dejected look, frowned and asked, "What did he do to you?"
"He, he," Zuo Lan sobbed a little and began to speak awkwardly, "he is getting engaged."
Shi Yuan: "With Bai Lewei?"
Zuo Lan nodded: "Yeah, yeah."
No wonder Bai Lewei is so proud, it turns out it's because of this matter that the villain succeeded.
Shi Yuan: "When will they get engaged?"
Zuo Lan: "Next, next month."
Shi Yuan thought for a while and comforted: "It's okay, there is still time."
Zuo Lan looked at Shi Yuan with red eyes and asked, "What, there's still time for what?"
Shi Yuan took out a tissue from the table, wiped Zuo Lan's tears and said, "How about I help you get Ren Jue back?"
"Huh?" Zuo Lan's eyes were full of confusion, "Why do you want to help me?"
Shi Yuan: "Because I don't like Bai Lewei. Of course, I would be more happy if you were willing to help me deal with Bai Lewei. Can you think about it?"
Zuo Lan sniffed and immediately made up his mind: "Okay, I promise you, what should I do?"
Shi Yuan: "Please help me keep an eye on the events or parties that Bai Lewei and Ren Jue will attend together recently, and find a way to attend them when the time comes."
Zuo Lan: "Then what?"
Shi Yuan curled her lips: "Then just let Ren Jue see Bai Lewei bullying you. The bigger the blame she takes, the greater your chance of success."
Zuo Lan: "But why does she bully me for no reason?"
Shi Yuan: "It depends on you."
Zuo Lan: "What are you looking at me for?"
Shi Yuan: "Let's see how you use to make her angry."
Zuo Lan: "...I know."
Shi Yuan: "To facilitate communication, please add my WeChat account first."
Zuo Lan: "Okay."
After chatting about business, Shi Yuan changed the topic: "You've drank a lot, it's time to go home."
"I don't, I feel bad, I still want to drink." Zuo Lan said and drank another drink.
Seeing this, Shi Yuan said, "Then you go to my table to drink. It's not safe if you get drunk."
Zuo Lan was about to cry again: "Thank you, you are so kind. No wonder Brother Yuechuan likes you."
Shi Yuan was startled when he heard this, glanced at Zuo Lan and said nothing.

Xu Lan saw that Shi Yuan had brought back a crying little drunk, and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"
Shi Yuan: "I have a friend, her name is Zuo Lan."
Zuo Lan was already a little drunk. When she heard Shi Yuan introduce herself to others, she also said hello: "Hello."
Xu Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Hello."
Shi Yuan whispered to Xu Lan: "She's in a bad mood, just let her drink."
Xu Lan nodded.
Zuo Lan didn't keep the door open while drinking. He drank himself down in a short while and lay motionless on the table.
Shi Yuan shook her, but there was no response at all.
Xu Lan: "What should we do? Do we want to send her home now?"
"It's okay, I'll find someone to take her." Shi Yuan said and dialed Ren Jue's number on her cell phone.
Since the last cooperation between the two ended, Shi Yuan has not contacted Ren Jue for a while, and she feels a little guilty when she thinks that he is getting engaged to Bai Lewei.
Ren Jue: "Hello?"
Shi Yuan: "It's me."
Ren Jue: "I know, why are you calling me so late?"
Shi Yuan glanced at Zuo Lan who was drunk and said, "I met Zuo Lan while drinking at Mile Clear Bar. She was drunk alone."
Ren Jue's calm tone changed from shock to anger: "What? Did she go drinking alone?"
Shi Yuan: "Well, I drank a lot, and now I'm drunk."
Ren Jue: "Send me your location and I'll go pick her up now."
Shi Yuan: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Yuan sent Ren Jue the location of Qingba.
Shi Yuan made this call because he wanted to test Ren Jue's concern for Zuo Lan. Based on the current situation, Shi Yuan felt that Bai Lewei had no chance of winning, so he was more relieved.
Ren Jue came very quickly, frowned at Zuo Lan who was drunk, but didn't say anything. He just thanked Shi Yuan and left with him in his arms.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Yuan said to Xu Lan, "Let's go back too."
Xu Lan: "Okay."
While waiting for the bus, the two of them stood on the side of the road enjoying the breeze, just in time to sober up.
Shi Yuan's car arrived earlier. When she got on the car, Xu Lan said behind her: "Baby, if one day you give up on Fang Yuechuan, come find me."
