Chapter 142: Why are you wearing a high collar shirt?

“O-of course! What do you mean?”

“Nothing. I was just thinking about how you were last night. You drank the most out of all of us. Yet, you were determined not to get escorted home. So, I was wondering whether you actually made it back.”

“I did make it back… but did I leave by myself last night?”

“Yeah. You were insane! You couldn’t even walk a straight line. I’m surprised you made it back!”

“Where are you?” Suyang was already changing to go find her.

“Guess!” Lin Yixin ran over and began to hug a lamppost. “If you guess correctly, I’ll tell you!”

“Did you drink too much or are you suffering from aphasia? How could you tell me to guess?” Suyang gasped as he tried to quickly pull up his pants.

“I can’t tell you I’m around the company building or you’re going to come find me! Do you know that we’re not supposed to see each other?” Lin Yixin slurred. She happened to see a floating ghost dressed in white and ran back to the BBQ shop.

The new hirees were about to have a toast. Lin Yixin took the cup from Guo Zijun’s hand and drank it all down in one gulp.

“Woah! So good!”

Guo Zijun’s glass was stolen from him and his hand was still in mid air. Someone tapped his arm next to him and gave him another glass. But no one noticed his flushed face as he began to dry cough.

Suyang was fully dressed now. He sighed. It was actually good that Lin Yixin had such a low IQ at times. At least, now he knew where she was.

He warned, “Be good and remain where you are. I’m coming now.”

“No! You can’t come!” Lin Yixin sat back at her original spot and began to stomp her feet. However, the new hirees assumed she was still speaking to air so they continued to dismiss her behaviour.

“Didn’t you call me because you wanted me to find you?”

“No! I -I just don’t understand how you’re a marketing manager here!? Do you know how awkward I felt when I saw you today? I was so shocked, I was speechless. I foolishly stood there like a pole. So silly.”

Guo Zijun stared at Lin Yixin from the corner of his eyes. Lin Yixin’s back was facing him.

“Actually, I felt like you were quite good at talking back.” Suyang had arrived at the parking lot. He was about to drive to the work building to find Goldfish.

“Huh…why am I on the phone?” Lin Yixin asked herself out loud. Then, she hung up; leaving a speechless Suyang. All he heard was the “dut dut dut…” sound of a discontinued line.

In no time, Lin Yixin drank another three bottles of beer. Just as she was about to consume her fifth bottle, she was dancing alone in her head.

“The little girl carried her doll and went to the garden to see cherry blossoms. The doll cried for mama and the birds on the tree went haha….” Lin Yixin was humming a song as her mind wandered off into Lala Land.

At this moment, Suyang called. Lin Yixin was brought back to reality and wanted to hang up on him. However, she slid her finger in the wrong direction and ended up picking up the call.

“Where are you? I’m already at the work building.”
