Before the assistant could finish his words, Lu Benlai had already interjected, "I'm fine. Just leave when I say so …"
After saying those words, Lu Benlai got off the bed and walked into the bathroom.
By the time he took a shower and washed away the smell of alcohol on his body, the assistant was no longer there.
He was the only one left in the huge apartment.
It was already late, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. He stared at the bowl of hangover soup that his assistant had placed by his bedside for a while before putting on a coat and heading to the balcony.
It was already deep into the night, and the entire neighborhood was eerily quiet. The sky was so dark that not a single star could be seen.
Lu Benlai silently stared at the endless horizon for a long time before he finally retracted his gaze. He took out his phone and lowered his head.
Unlocking the screen, he tapped into his phone's browser, and the first thing he saw was the official website of an internationally renowned jewelry brand.
This was the page that he hadn't logged out of when he was done searching for rings in the afternoon.
Every single ring in the page was expensive, and their designs were beautiful as well. He stared at the page for a long time, hesitating over which ring to give to her … But if he were to really buy it and give it to her, would she be willing to accept it?
Two and a half years ago, she made a bet with him. If it snowed on Christmas, she would consider him.
But it was a pity that the heavens weren't on their side that day. He created a fake snow in exchange for her consideration.
A year and a half ago, on Christmas Day, he made another bet with her. It was on the roadside of Chang 'an Street. He looked at the cars that sped past in the middle of the night and told her that within half an hour, if the number of the cars was an even number, she would grant him one wish. If it was an odd number, he would grant her one wish …
She agreed, and he won the bet. In truth, she was the one who won, but he had made preparations in advance. He had his assistant wait near Chang 'an Street, and at the last moment, he managed to change the situation.
The wish he raised was very simple. It was a wish that he had been looking forward to ever since the first time he saw her in G University — to be his girlfriend.
He could tell that she was conflicted and hesitant that day, but in the end, she still said, "I'll accept my loss."
Just like that, the two of them became the most unlikely couple in the world.
Over the past year and a half, even though they often saw each other and went on a date every weekend, they were like the most ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend. There was no interaction between them at all.
Yes, even the most basic holding hands, hugging, and kissing were not done.
At first, he thought that she might have warmed up slowly. He didn't think too much about it because he really liked her and it wasn't because of these intimate things. But after a long time, she was always so cold and indifferent, and he always felt bad.
She was thinking about him because of the gamble. She agreed to be with him because of the gamble … Maybe in her heart, she never had any thoughts of being with him … Not even a little bit. Otherwise, why would she still treat him like a stranger after so long?
Lu Benlai, who had been in a daze for a very long time, was jolted back to reality by the vibration of the phone in his hand.
He pursed his lips and glanced at the time. Seeing that it was already late, he returned to his bedroom.
