There were still some people who didn’t recognize Su Lu.

“Who are you?” Zhuo Kang asked with confusion.

Li Jin muttered softly, “She looks somewhat familiar.”

Wu Borui clicked his tongue and lowered his voice. “You don’t remember? It’s her!”

Zhuo Kang and Li Jin were confused.

Wu Borui sighed and spoke even lower, uttering two words, “The reaper!”

Suddenly, everyone understood.

Su Lu hesitated and said, “Um, sorry to disturb you.”

“It’s fine. Come in quickly,” Zhuo Kang hurriedly replied.

The expression on Bo Jingshen’s face gradually became composed. He turned his head and said to Lu Feichi, “Got it. Let’s not talk about this for now.”

Then he waved his hand and said, “Su Little Lu, come here.”

Su Lu walked towards him, scrutinizing his eyes and face, unable to discern any signs of alcohol. She then directed her gaze to the cup on the table in front of him.

Bo Jingshen said, “I didn’t drink.”

“Really?” Su Lu looked skeptically at the cup on the table.

Bo Jingshen brought the cup to her lips.

Several pairs of eyes were focused on them, causing Su Lu’s face to grow warm.

She took a sip of the tea-colored liquid in the glass, which didn’t possess the spicy aroma of whiskey, but rather… the mild sweetness of green tea?

It turned out that he didn’t drink alcohol.

Actually, the project department’s gathering was not over yet, but she had come early because she was worried that Bo Jingshen would drink.

After all, he seemed like someone who didn’t take injuries seriously.

“You believe me?” Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.

She nodded obediently and held the cup with both hands as if she wanted to bury her face in it.

Zhuo Kang was a big-mouthed person. His voice was loud, and this made it difficult for him to keep secrets.

“After all these years, their relationship is still so good. Our female classmates from the University of Science and Technology still haven’t had a chance,” Zhuo Kang remarked.

Su Lu wanted to bury her face into the cup even more.

“Is the dinner gathering over?” Bo Jingshen asked.

Only then did Su Lu put down the cup and replied, “More or less. I left the gathering early.”

Just as her words fell, she heard a gentle male voice, tinged with a slight smile, say, “Reaper, long time no see.”

Su Lu felt helpless when she heard this nickname. But to be honest, ever since she heard it from Old Zou, she had started to get used to it.

She looked up and glanced at the person sitting next to Bo Jingshen.

Su Lu didn’t recognize him at first, but gradually, she realized who he was, and her expression froze.

“Do you remember? I’m Lu Feichi, Bo Jingshen’s former roommate,” Lu Feichi said, his expression gentle and his voice soothing.

However, Su Lu’s face changed. She recognized the person in front of her.

One of Bo Jingshen’s former roommates.

She didn’t hold a grudge, but people always had a fresh memory of pain.

She still remembered the attitudes of Bo Jingshen’s three roommates at that time.

Rong Yu, with his round eyes and baby face, appeared the most well-behaved, but he had the most explosive temper. He threw away all the gifts she had once given to Bo Jingshen, as well as some of their couple items, into the trash station.

Luan Siyuan had a calm and silent disposition. He didn’t say much, but his gaze was devoid of warmth.

On the contrary, Lu Feichi, who usually had the most gentle demeanor and tone, spoke like a sharp knife, like a slap in the face.

“Su Lu, where have you been all this time? You treated Bo Jingshen as if he were nothing, and now you come running to see him. Who are you trying to impress? Is it interesting to play both sides? Don’t tell me you consider yourself the victim now?”

Every word felt like an earful, striking her face.

She felt powerless to argue, and she had no way to argue.

Because what Lu Feichi said was true. She had indeed hurt Bo Jingshen, and she did come running to see him.

After that, she searched through the things for a long time that Rong Yu had thrown away at the trash station. The memory was not as deep as before. It was so dirty and tiring, but the memories did not seem to be as strong as Lu Feichi’s words.

What she remembered clearly wasn’t the process of searching, but the ultimate result of finding nothing.

She couldn’t find anything. In the time they were together, all the surprises she had prepared for him, and half of the couple items they had, belonged to Bo Jingshen.

Everything was gone. Disappeared from her world.

Just like him, he disappeared from her world back then.

Lu Feichi felt helpless when he saw the change in Su Lu’s expression.

He raised his cup to Su Lu, without saying much, and simply drank it all in one gulp.

Perhaps actions spoke louder than words.

Su Lu pondered for a moment, but she didn’t use the green tea to fill the cup. Instead, she poured amber-colored liquor into the cup and raised it to drink.

Bo Jingshen leaned against the sofa.

Everyone didn’t know if it was an illusion, but they all felt that after the reaper arrived, the aura of the big boss didn’t seem so intimidating.

Zhuo Kang, with his thick skin, took the lead to toast Bo Jingshen, and everyone no longer felt restrained.

They all began to drink together.

Su Lu didn’t let Bo Jingshen touch the wine, so she did it for him.

She didn’t have a high alcohol tolerance, but fortunately, these old classmates didn’t have a habit of excessive drinking or any intention to get someone drunk.

They were just enjoying a few sips.

Jiang Minhui’s job required her to socialize. She had practiced her alcohol tolerance and was probably used to drinking. She relied on drinking more to build relationships.

So initially, she had the intention to drink more with Su Lu. She grabbed a bottle and was about to fill Su Lu’s glass.

But soon, her enthusiastic smile froze on her face.

A man’s slender hand reached over from the side and covered the mouth of the cup.

Bo Jingshen remained silent, calmly looking at Jiang Minhui.

Jiang Minhui suddenly felt her throat dry up and awkwardly stopped her action.

“I just wanted to toast her…” Jiang Minhui stammered.

Bo Jingshen said calmly, “If you enjoy drinking so much, should I buy a dozen cases for you to drink to your heart’s content?”

Jiang Minhui opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a word.

Lu Feichi stepped in with a smile, trying to defuse the tension. “Minhui, we’re all old classmates. Let’s not bring the drinking culture here, okay? Let’s just have a great time today. Do we have to leave in a drunken state?”

Jiang Minhui reluctantly nodded. “You’re right.”

Fortunately, the atmosphere of the gathering wasn’t affected by this incident.

After leaving the private room, Lu Feichi even arranged for a bath upstairs.

However, Bo Jingshen and Su Lu decided not to participate, so a group of old classmates sent them to the door.

Bo Jingshen hadn’t been drinking and drove over from the parking lot.

Lu Feichi hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t hold back and whispered to Su Lu, “Su Lu, I spoke harshly to you back then. Don’t take it to heart.”

Su Lu was taken aback. She blinked rapidly and gently shook her head. “Considering the circumstances back then, what you said wasn’t wrong.”

“In any case… I’m sorry.”

Su Lu shook her head and was about to say it was fine when she suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, “You… You didn’t tell Bo Jingshen about this, did you?”
