Those words sounded so harsh to Yi Pin's ears.
Why was she always like this towards this boy who she'd always harbored negative feelings towards? Did she really have some prejudice against him?
Feeling a twinge of annoyance in her heart, she looked at the sparse stars twinkling in the sky.
Gu Yang was her childhood idol. In her world, he represented justice. Then why was he so close to Shen Yu?
Gu Yang smiled and kept his eyes on the stars in the sky, a faint smile on his lips.
On the way back, Yi Pin's mind was full of thoughts. Thinking about Shen Yu's matters, she suddenly realized that recently her thoughts had always revolved around Shen Yu.
When she got back to her place and looked at her room, she suddenly felt a bit dazed.
The words Gu Yang said, that Shen Yu was a very kind person, kept echoing in her mind.
At this time, she looked at her phone and saw a message. The second court session would be in a few days. Suddenly, she felt a bit nervous.
She felt a surge of annoyance in her heart.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
Just then, her phone suddenly rang. It was Wang Xiangyang's call.
"Speak!" Yi Pin said coldly.
"What's wrong with you these days? You're always like a ticking time - bomb." Wang Xiangyang's tone was teasing as he laughed.
"I'm in a bad mood. Don't bother me!" Yi Pin said coldly and lit a cigarette in the darkness.
"If you're in a bad mood, come out and have a couple of drinks." Wang Xiangyang laughed. "The more you bottle it up, the worse you'll feel."
Yi Pin thought for a long time before saying, "Where are you now? Come to the law firm's entrance to find me."
Standing in the cold wind, waiting for Wang Xiangyang, she watched the bustling crowds outside. It seemed that people were more likely to break down at night.
"Hey!" Wang Xiangyang didn't know when he'd circled behind her and patted her on the shoulder, grinning.
"Looking for trouble?" Yi Pin put out her cigarette, stood up, and smiled at Wang Xiangyang.
"Where shall we go for a drink? I'll keep you company and help you relax." Wang Xiangyang smiled and glanced at Yi Pin.
"Whatever!" Yi Pin said indifferently, putting her hands in her bag and tightening her coat. There was a half - smile on her lips.
The two walked on the road. Yi Pin stepped on the leaves on the ground, absent - mindedly looking at her feet.
"Are you... lonely? How about I introduce a girlfriend to you? She's super pretty and just came back from abroad!" Wang Xiangyang put his arm around Yi Pin's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Get lost!" Yi Pin replied with a look of disgust.
"You don't seem to be interested in women. So what on earth is so sad in life?" Wang Xiangyang looked at Yi Pin in front of him and grinned.
Yi Pin didn't answer. She just looked ahead. Suddenly, she saw a very mysterious - looking bar in the back street called Worry - Free Pavilion.
Yi Pin pointed at the bar in front and smiled. "Let's go to this one in front."
Wang Xiangyang didn't care either. He smiled and said, "Sure. It looks high - class and is a good place to relax."
The two entered the bar together. The flashing lights and colorful drinks were very eye - catching.
But it was really strange. There wasn't a single woman in the bar. Even the bartenders and the cashier at the front desk were all men.
Yi Pin didn't seem to care, but Wang Xiangyang found it more and more strange.
The two walked up to the bar.
"Two glasses of whisky!" Yi Pin said coldly without looking around.
She took a big gulp and when she turned around, she saw a familiar face. It was Qi Mingyang, the talkative and glib policeman from the police station just now.
When Qi Mingyang saw Yi Pin, he was a bit shocked. He stared at her with wide eyes and had a mischievous smile on his lips.
Yi Pin thought to herself, "Why does this policeman not look like a policeman at all? He even has a bit of a hooligan air about him."
"Hey there! Is your name Yi... Yi something? Yi Pin, right? What a coincidence! You can meet people anywhere in life." Qi Mingyang grinned as he looked at Yi Pin in front of him, walked over slowly, and sat down next to them.
Yi Pin glanced at Qi Mingyang, didn't say a word, and continued to drink her whisky.
"And this gentleman is?" Qi Mingyang glanced at Wang Xiangyang, curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"A buddy!" Yi Pin said with a smile on her lips.
Wang Xiangyang and Qi Mingyang hit it off immediately. Once they started talking, they couldn't stop.
They talked about themselves and Yi Pin, the only person they both knew. The conversation never seemed to end.
Yi Pin was a bit absent - minded. Looking at the sexy male models on the dance floor, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why were those men so sexy? It felt like she was in Thailand. Why was a man on the dance floor touching another man's butt?
And why were those two men being all touchy - feely and drinking from each other's glasses?
Yi Pin swallowed hard. All the signs indicated that this bar... was it a gay bar?
She looked back at the tough - looking Qi Mingyang. Could it be that he was...
With a sense of unease in her heart, she waved to the bartender.
"Is this... a gay bar?" Yi Pin whispered.
The bartender's face clearly showed a flash of shock, and then he nodded.
Yi Pin frowned. Looking at Wang Xiangyang, who was still chatting away with Qi Mingyang, she sighed helplessly.
She thought to herself that no matter where she was, she was just there to drink, so she finally calmed down.
Just then, a somewhat innocent - looking boy with a certain hairstyle smiled at Yi Pin and said coquettishly, "Handsome guy, are you interested in having a drink with me?"
"No." Yi Pin answered almost without thinking, not even giving the boy a proper look.
Qi Mingyang gave Yi Pin a naughty smile.
The boy who had mustered up the courage to come over and ask Yi Pin for a drink left with a look of grievance on his face.
When Yi Pin looked up, she saw Qi Mingyang's malicious smile.
"Don't think too much. We're different." Yi Pin suddenly said nervously, afraid that Qi Mingyang would misunderstand that she came to this bar on purpose knowing its special nature.
Actually, she wasn't homophobic at all. Influenced by Lin Yangcong, she thought that homosexuals were just ordinary people.
Although they had to endure the strange looks from the world, at least they lived openly.
"What's so different? We're all the same in the end." Qi Mingyang said with a smile on his lips.
"By the way, bro, why aren't there any beautiful women in this bar?" Wang Xiangyang asked Qi Mingyang in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.
Qi Mingyang's eyes clearly showed a flash of shock. He glanced at the two of them and said helplessly, "Did you just come in randomly?"
"If we don't come in randomly, how else should we come in? Singing or dancing in?" Wang Xiangyang grinned.
