"I heard that she moved into Yong Liwei's place," he replied.

"Well it's only normal since they're married," she informed.

Si Hongqi couldn't help but stretch out his lips into a straight line. He had always been suppressing his inner feelings, not allowing them to reach his face. He could still feel a prick in his chest whenever he heard about Lu Mengjie's marriage with another man. "Then you can just tell her about what you found out today. I will help you both concerning Bai Keran's matter. I have certain information that can help you concerning Bai Kai. I also know where he's been hiding his daughter."

Tian Ruyi's eyes sparkled in delight. She instantly grabbed both his hands and clasped them together. "I never thought that you could be such an angel, Si Hongqi! You just saved us from a lot of trouble! I'm sure that Mengmeng will also be glad once she heard of this."

She was shaking his hands up and down that the man ended up raising his brow in amusement. The tingling sensation when they touched was still there but it seemed like she was too delighted to even notice it.

"Can you do me another favor?" The man ended up asking.

"Depends if it's within my abilities or not," she answered, her arms crossed.

He paused. Seconds ticked by and he looked like he was reluctant to continue but he did when he finally opened his mouth and spoke, "I want you to warn Mengmeng not to trust her husband too much." 

"Are you busy today?" The woman suddenly asked.

He blinked a few times upon hearing her sudden question. "Not really." Although that didn't mean that he was free as well.

"Great! Let's go drinking tonight so give me your WeChat!" She grinned happily at him. "It will be easier for us to contact each other too!"

"Drinking…" He sweatdropped. "I only drink when there is an occasion."

"Well, there's one tonight. I'll accompany you sob for your broken heart. I'll even pay for the drinks! I know a good place!"

"..."

"Oh come on. I know that you have feelings for Mengmeng. I can easily tell you know~ I'll be your drinking buddy from now on!" She grinned happily at him. A friend of Lu Mengjie was a friend of hers. If one is down, it was only right for her to accompany him.

Si Hongqi sighed as he finally opened his mouth to retort, "You can't even hold your liquor."

She chuckled softly in response. "That doesn't matter. We're going to drink to get drunk."

He looked at his hands that she was still holding before he finally pulled them back. "You may be Lu Mengjie's friend but I don't even know you so I suggest that you should refrain from acting close with me."

"Don't be stingy. I also don't know you that well but that makes it easier for us to open up, right? Even if we don't know each other that much, we can trust each other that's because we are Lu Mengjie's friends."

Tian Ruyi's impression of him was good even if he was a two-faced person. What mattered to her was that he was someone who cared for his friends. Besides, he had already proved that he was someone worth trusting. He never took advantage of her at her weak point. 

She offered her hand to him for a handshake. "Friends?"

Si Hongqi's eyes landed on her hand and stared at it for a few seconds for a few moments. Lu Mengjie had a gift of befriending others who would stay loyal to her so it never failed to amaze him whenever she would introduce her new friends to him although this time, even if she was not given a chance to introduce Tian Ruyi, he still met her.

Lu Mengjie had the talent to charm her way through people's hearts... well, except for one. His brother.

He finally gave his hand and held hers. Those strange tingles were crawling up to his body again. 

Tian Ruyi could feel the static electricity that made her look at him. "Did you feel that?"

"Hn."

She chuckled a bit. She was still holding his hand with no plans of letting go. "I've read this in books."

He blinked a few times and once again, he was caught unprepared by her sudden words.

"It happens when two soulmates meet. They'll be attracted to each other and they would never be able to get each other out of their minds. But that's weird. I don't feel any attraction to you."

"..."

She continued to stare at him. Tian Ruyi even leaned close as if to check something on his face which only made Si Hongqi uncomfortable.

"What… what are you doing?" He stammered as he stared back into her eyes and as he did, he felt his heart jump and began racing. It must be because of the closeness of her face although, because of their closeness, he couldn't help but notice how dark her lashes were and how beautiful her eyes were. It was as if she had a galaxy of her own inside her eyes.

Thump!

Si Hongqi began to grow restless. He had always been a calm man and yet, he couldn't understand why he was reacting that way to her. His heart was pounding like crazy. What the hell was he thinking?

She pulled away and released his hand. "Just as I thought. You can't be my soulmate."
