Li Weixi didn't wake up until noon. Fortunately, it was the weekend and she didn't have to go to work. Otherwise, she would have suffered.
When she went downstairs, Aunt Lin told her that Lin Yi had gone home. Apparently, he was having a family dinner tonight and probably wouldn't be back tonight.
Li Weixi felt that this was a good opportunity. If he didn't come back tonight, she could go to the alumni ball with Chi Zhihan.
She hesitated whether she should tell Lin Yi about this, but when she thought that he probably wouldn't come back tonight and he wouldn't know what she was doing outside, she didn't tell him.
In the afternoon, Lin Yi called and asked her what she was doing at home.
Li Weixi said, "Nothing much. I just read some books and watch TV."
Lin Yi said, "Be a good girl at home today. I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."
"Where?" Li Weixi asked instinctively.
Lin Yi said, "You'll know when you go there tomorrow."
He told her to be a good girl and stay at home … Should she tell him that she was going to the ball tonight?
However, before she could decide, the call ended. This was probably fate. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal. She was just going to the ball.
In the evening, she chose a relatively ordinary gown from the wardrobe. She put on light makeup and went out.
Downstairs, she bumped into Aunt Lin. Aunt Lin asked her hesitantly, "Miss, did you tell Sir that you were going out tonight?"
"I did," Li Weixi said guiltily.
Aunt Lin nodded and said, "That's good."
The so-called alumni ball, to put it bluntly, was actually a ball held by people who had graduated from the same school in the past. The people who attended were usually fellow students from the same school.
This kind of ball wasn't something that just students from the same school could attend. They also needed to get an invitation.
Li Weixi had once participated in an alumni association, which was organized by a senior in the past. The attendees were all students in the school. Li Weixi did not know who the organizer was this time.
Chi Zhihan called her and asked where she was. Li Weixi said that she was just about to go out.
Chi Zhihan said, "Where do you live? I'm going out now, so I'll go pick you up. "
"No need, no need …" Li Weixi quickly refused. "I'll take a taxi there myself. There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Chi Zhihan only knew that her family was in trouble. She didn't know what Li Weixi was doing now, and she didn't want her to know.
He didn't want his only friend to look down on him.
"Alright then." Chi Zhihan said helplessly, "I just called Gu Ze and asked him where he was. He said he was having dinner with friends."
Li Weixi knew that she was in a bad mood, so he comforted her, "Don't worry. Let's go to the ball first."
The ball was going to be held at a hotel near the school. It was very close, so Li Weixi planned to walk there.
Just as she walked to the side of the road, she suddenly saw a tall figure walking over. She couldn't see his face clearly, but she felt that he was a little familiar.
When he got closer, Li Weixi realized that the person was Huo Zhanbai.
"Hello, senior." Li Weixi instinctively called out.
Huo Zhanbai smiled and said, "I saw you walk out just now. You're wearing a gown. Are you going to the alumni ball?"
Li Weixi was a little surprised. "How did you know?"
"Because I'm going to the ball too." Huo Zhanbai smiled. "Let's go together."
"Ah, okay." In Li Weixi's impression, he had always been so gentle and elegant. He always made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.
Li Weixi couldn't help but think of her admiration for him when she was a student. She still had that feeling. When she was alone with him, she always felt a little lost.
"Will you be living here forever?" Huo Zhanbai asked her.
Li Weixi was stunned. She stuttered and said, "Not necessarily …" After all, she was just living under someone else's roof. When she would leave was not up to her.
"I remember that your family has a company?"
Li Weixi was a little surprised. "How did senior know about my family?"
Huo Zhanbai said, "Yes, I've heard about it before."
"I see." Li Weixi didn't take it to heart. She thought that he had just casually heard about it from others.
The two of them walked side by side on the road. Huo Zhanbai very gentlemanly let her walk on the inside and walked on the outside. He even asked her some things about work.
Li Weixi felt very happy to walk and chat with the person she once admired. However, she knew very well that she was no longer worthy of him.
When they arrived at the ball, Huo Zhanbai suddenly said to her, "I didn't bring a female companion today. Are you alone too? Can you be my female companion tonight? "
Faced with the sudden invitation, Li Weixi was a little happy. However, when she thought of Chi Zhihan, she hesitated for a moment. "But I might not be that free tonight."
"What else can you do if you're here for the ball?" Huo Zhanbai smiled and said, "It's okay. You just have to appear by my side when you're dancing."
"Alright then." Li Weixi finally agreed.
She saw Chi Zhihan at the entrance of the ball, so she waved at Huo Zhanbai and walked towards Chi Zhihan.
Chi Zhihan spied on her with a gossipy expression. "The one who came with you is senior Huo Zhanbai? When did you have such a good relationship with him? "
"We just happened to meet on the way here," Li Weixi explained.
"Happened to meet on the way here? How coincidental was it for you to meet on the way? Could it be that you live very close to each other? "Chi Zhihan asked.
Li Weixi nodded. "Yes, we live quite close to each other."
"Not bad." Chi Zhihan bumped her shoulder and smiled ambiguously. "The pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first."
Li Weixi smiled helplessly and said, "Don't joke around. Senior and I are not even friends, let alone have such a complicated relationship."
Chi Zhihan shrugged. "Your gown is not bad. What brand is it?"
"Uh, I don't know either. I just bought it casually," Li Weixi said guiltily.
"The material looks very good, but it's a little plain." Chi Zhihan took her hand. "Let's go. I saw Gu Ze go in just now. Let's go in now."
The two of them entered the ball hall. It was dazzling inside, and the crystal lights flickered above their heads, setting off the entire hall to be incomparably gorgeous.
Chi Zhihan saw Gu Ze at a glance and hurriedly pulled Li Weixi to the side of the pillar to observe secretly.
Li Weixi saw a beautiful girl beside Gu Ze. She was wearing a gorgeous gown and had decent makeup on. Her posture was elegant and her face was gorgeous. One look and she could tell that she was from a wealthy family.
Taking a closer look, the girl looked a little familiar. She stared at her for a long time before she remembered that she was Choi Won-joo.
She was the daughter of the upper-class society. Li Weixi knew her because she had seen her more than once when she attended banquets with her father.
The upper-class society was not big, and the people they often met at banquets were all acquaintances. Hence, even if they did not greet each other, they would have a rough understanding of each other.
Chi Zhihan's family background was not good enough to enter the upper-class society, so he did not know Choi Won-joo.
"Did you see that?" Chi Zhihan saw that the two of them were acting intimately and his eyes were burning with anger. He tugged at Li Weixi. "That girl is the one we met when we went on a trip previously."
"No way?" Li Weixi was a little surprised. "So you knew at that time too?"
"Of course I knew. She injured her foot at that time and it was Gu Ze who carried her to the hospital. I didn't expect that the two of them would hook up now," Chi Zhihan said angrily.
Li Weixi said, "I know that girl. Her name is Choi Won-joo. Her family is quite rich."
"Humph, so she's the daughter of a rich family. No wonder Gu Ze wanted to get close to her." Chi Zhihan sneered. "After interacting with him for so long, I didn't realize that he was such a person. I was really blind back then."
"No, I must rush up and make him give me an explanation." Chi Zhihan was about to rush toward them angrily.
Li Weixi quickly pulled her back. "Zhihan, don't be rash now. Maybe things aren't what you think?"
"It's already so obvious. Can't you see?" Chi Zhihan said in a low voice. "If we're friends, don't hold me back."
In front of them, Gu Ze hugged Choi Won-joo's waist and entered the dance floor. Chi Zhihan had no choice but to calm down first. He gritted his teeth and stared at the adulterous couple on the dance floor.
Li Weixi didn't know how to comfort her. "Let's wait first. After they finish dancing, we'll go over and ask them clearly."
Chi Zhihan gritted his teeth. "That's the only way now."
The two of them stood in a remote corner. Chi Zhihan's face was gloomy, and Li Weixi's heart ached when he saw it.
"I finally found you." A gentle voice suddenly sounded. Li Weixi turned around and saw Huo Zhanbai standing behind her. He said helplessly, "I almost searched the entire venue for you just now."
Only then did Li Weixi remember that she had promised to be his dance partner. She immediately said in embarrassment, "I'm really sorry. I forgot about it just now."
"It's okay. It's not too late to make up for it now." Huo Zhanbai glanced behind him. "My friends are laughing at me for not having a dance partner. You have to quickly make up for it now."
Chi Zhihan pushed Li Weixi and said in a low voice, "Sissi, hurry up. This is a good opportunity."
Li Weixi turned around and glanced at Chi Zhihan. Chi Zhihan gave her a reassuring look, indicating that she didn't have to worry.
Li Weixi then walked onto the dance floor with Huo Zhanbai.
"Was that your friend just now?" Huo Zhanbai asked softly.
His hand was around her waist, and his other hand was holding her hand in his palm. The warmth from his palm was about to make Li Weixi faint.
She stuttered a little and said, "Yes, yes."
