Endless Fall

She picked up the wine glass and tasted the fruit fragrance that entered her nose. “Is there any other way?”

Qian Yue gave her two ideas.

One of the most common ideas was to pretend to be drunk so that she could get what she wanted tonight. “Give the key to Yilan for safekeeping.”

“Right away.” Lin Jiao stuffed the door key into Pei Yilan’s bag.

After her problem was solved, it was Pei Yilan’s turn to ask, “What about me? I haven’t kissed him yet.”

“Didn’t you kiss him when you went to visit him on the shooting side?”

“I didn’t get the chance.”

“No hurry.” Qian Yue made a perfect plan based on her situation.

She took out an air cushion to touch up her makeup. “That’s about it. Next time, I’ll have to ask you something in return.”

Pei Yilan understood what she meant. “We don’t have to wait for next time. I’ll introduce one to you now.”

“Really?”

“Absolutely!” She swiped open her phone and scrolled through her WeChat list. “What type of men do you like as of now?”

“Gentle and mature.”

“I think Shen Yi is not bad.” Lin Jiao immediately thought of him. “And he’s a doctor too. He’s a good match for you.”

“Shen Yi from Tongji Hospital?”

“You saw him.”

Qian Yue pursed her lips. “I met him this morning when I went to sign the contract.”

“Are you going to work at Tongji from now on?”

“That’s right.”

“What a coincidence.” Pei Yilan retracted her hand from the list and looked at her suggestively. “Why don’t you two try to develop a relationship?”

“Forget it.” She said without thinking, “It’s especially awkward to remain colleagues after breaking up.”

“You’re already thinking about breaking up before you even start dating?”

“I like to plan things ahead of time.”

Pei Yilan clicked her tongue and said, “If you have feelings for him, you can give it a try.”

“But I don’t.”

“…Then I’ll find someone else for you.”

Lin Jiao listened carefully to the male candidates and occasionally gave suggestions.

Unfortunately, Qian Yue did not like any of them.

“I only have so many single and unmarried male friends.” Pei Yilan shrugged and looked at Lin Jiao. “Jiaojiao, do you have any?”

“I do, but I don’t think he’s compatible.”

“Who?”

“Brother Yanshen.”

“What makes you think he’s not compatible?” Qian Yue’s curiosity was piqued.

“He changes his girlfriends very often.”

“Does he cheat?”

“No.”

“Does he hit women?”

“No.” Lin Jiao listed his advantages. “He’s very filial and kind. He never loses his temper for no reason.”

“From what you said, other than changing girlfriends frequently, he’s good in all aspects?”

“Right.”

“Let me see the photo first.” Qian Yue put out her hands. “If he’s my type, it doesn’t matter how often he changes girlfriends.”

Lin Jiao found a photo for her to look at.

When a familiar face entered Qian Yue’s eyes, she couldn’t help but exclaim.

“It’s him!” She stood up excitedly. “Jiaojiao, are you sure he’s single?”

“Positive.”

Lin Jiao was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

“He fits my criteria for a partner.”

“Because of this photo?”

“No.”

Qian Yue told them about how Yanshen helped her find her stolen phone in Lin City one evening in July.

She took a sip of wine to calm herself down. “I wanted to ask him for his contact number, but his girlfriend was present too, so…”

“So you fell in love with him at first sight?”

“You could say that.”

“It’s the same between me and Jiang Ye!” Pei Yilan was even more excited than her when she heard of a similar encounter.

Lin Jiao, who was sandwiched in the middle, covered her ears when the other two screamed.

“Jiaojiao, are you close to him?”

“He’s my brother.”

“Cousin?”

“No.” She briefly explained her relationship with Zhou Yanshen and asked, “Are you really planning to develop a relationship with him?”

Qian Yue replied firmly, “I won’t leave after coming back this time anyway.”

“Fine.”

“What kind of expression is that?” She held Lin Jiao’s arm. “Don’t you want me to be your sister-in-law?”

Lin Jiao shook her head. “I’m afraid you’ll get hurt.”

Although Qian Yue had more romantic experiences than them, if she really fell in love with someone, she would do anything.

As for Zhou Yanshen…

He did not even know what love was.

“Don’t worry.” Qian Yue leaned on her shoulder, feeling a warmth in her heart. “I will walk away if I must.”

Seeing that she was determined, Lin Jiao did not stop her.

She opened the calendar. “It’s Uncle’s birthday on the fifth of next month. I’ll introduce him to you then.”

“He won’t fall in love during this period, will he?”

“I don’t think so.”

“Tell him first.” Qian Yue was worried that she would be disappointed and quickly asked her to send a WeChat message.

Not long after, Zhou Yanshen called. “Jiaojiao, why do you want to introduce a girl to me all of a sudden?”

“Can’t I?”

“Of course you can.” With the cigarette in his mouth, he listened carefully to the song on the other end of the phone. “Where are you guys now? Shall I come over and play?”

Lin Jiao glanced at Qian Yue.

“We’re leaving soon.”

“Alright.” Zhou Yanshen collapsed on the bed and did not force her. “Tell me when you get home.”

“Okay.” Lin Jiao hung up.

Just as she was about to ask Qian Yue, Pei Yilan asked first, “Why don’t you want to see him tonight?”

“I didn’t dress up today.” Qian Yue looked down at the dress she was wearing and pointed at the tip of her nose. “There’s another pimple here.”

“Your pimple isn’t obvious.”

“It’s all the same.” She cared about her image. “I don’t want him to see any flaws in me.”

Lin Jiao chuckled. “I understand.”

People who fell in love all wanted to show their best side to their loved ones, and she was no exception.

“Come, cheers.” Seeing that there was still so much wine left to drink, Pei Yilan immediately raised her glass.

The atmosphere was still lively.

After three rounds of drinking, all of them were red in the face.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Qian Yue took the phone from Lin Jiao and called Pei Zhi.

She told him about the location of the bar. “Done!”

“How soon will he be here?”

“About fifteen minutes.”

“Then should I hide?” Pei Yilan put down her cup, worried that she would be scolded later.

“No need.” Lin Jiao held the mirror as Qian Yue helped her touch up her makeup, “Just pretend to be asleep.”

Pei Yilan crossed her arms and lay down.

She looked at Qian Yue again before closing her eyes. “Don’t let him send me back.”

Qian Yue blinked. “Okay.”
