Today, I'm Going to Spend the Billionaire's Hundred Million Again-Chapter 519: Drinking
The boy was so upset over the phone that he almost cried, "My competition hasn’t ended yet, and my little brother insisted on going on a boat trip, so my dad booked tickets. I hadn’t even received my award when the three of them left."
"So, no one remembered my birthday, no one gave me flowers for being a champion, and no one even said happy birthday to me."
"I just called my dad to ask why they didn’t wait for me. He said, anyway, I get seasick, so I should return to the hotel alone after the competition. He said my brother wanted to see the sea at night, so he and my stepmom would take my brother to play on the ship for two days before coming back for me."
"Sister Qingqing, I don’t have any other friends here, I only know you, so can I invite you to eat my birthday cake with me tonight? After all, you’re the only one who remembered it’s my birthday today."
Listening to this, Rong Qingqing almost couldn’t hold back the tears from this boy’s sadness.
Hearing him sobbing and saying no one remembered his birthday made Rong Qingqing’s heart ache.
"It’s okay, they don’t remember your birthday, I do, I’ll celebrate your birthday with you," Rong Qingqing agreed. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Anyway, Shen Jue wasn’t coming back to accompany her.
It was just right for lonely her to pair up with the lonely birthday star.
After getting out of the cab at the hotel, Rong Qingqing took another cab to the agreed location.
On the way there, she bought a small ready-made chocolate cake that was only palm-sized from a bakery.
At the agreed restaurant, the boy had already been waiting for Rong Qingqing for quite a while.
"Sister Qingqing, thank you, if it weren’t for you accompanying me, I’d definitely have to spend this special birthday alone today." Sun Qi said, looking at the person sitting across from him holding a small cake, and his smile was completely genuine.
This joy was heartfelt.
"No problem, it’s just that I happen to be free, no need to thank me." Rong Qingqing waved her hand.
For Rong Qingqing, it was just a trivial matter, just a coincidence that she was also free.
If Shen Jue were coming back to the hotel tonight, even if Rong Qingqing had a good impression of Sun Qi, she wouldn’t have left Shen Jue alone at the hotel to celebrate Sun Qi’s birthday.
Sun Qi nodded, and when ordering, he asked for wine. Rong Qingqing glanced at him, and before she could refuse, Sun Qi quickly said, "I’m eighteen today, an adult now, so I can drink. Sister Qingqing, if you don’t like drinking, you don’t have to accompany me. I can drink alone."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing raised her eyebrow but said nothing.
Eighteen is indeed considered adult.
However, when she was eighteen, she still hadn’t touched alcohol. Rong Kuo had been very strict with her, only allowing her to drink after she graduated from college.
Although there was a few years’ age difference between them, because of their shared interests, along with Rong Qingqing taking care of Sun Qi, they never ran out of things to talk about.
When Sun Qi added wine to Rong Qingqing’s glass, she didn’t refuse. The two chatted and drank, and surprisingly, the night passed so quickly.
After Shen Jue finished his work and obtained what he wanted, it was already nine-thirty.
In the cab heading back to the hotel, Shen Jue called Rong Qingqing. He originally wanted to ask her if she wanted to have a late-night snack and if she had returned to the hotel.
As the cab passed through an intersection, someone ahead hailed a cab, and the taxi behind accelerated to overtake, forcing the cab Shen Jue was in to stop for a few seconds.
