Drunk Confession

After finishing my studies, I gathered my materials and headed back to my dorm room.

As I walked past the small grove of trees near the dorm building, I saw many couples huddled together, seeming inseparable.

Suddenly, my mind was filled with thoughts of someone, and I found myself standing there in a daze for a few seconds.

When I returned to my dorm room, I washed up and noticed there was a message on my phone.

Juan?

It was a voice message.

I was curious about how he had sent me a voice message.

I didn't have earbuds with me, so I put my phone up to my ear and listened. The sound was somewhat noisy.

It sounded like he was in a bar or something, with music blasting in the background.

I had trouble hearing, so I turned up the volume, and all I could make out was, "If you want kiss me so much, next time I'll let you kiss me enough."

Wow!

That really gave me goosebumps.

Not just me, because the volume was so loud, the entire dorm room was stunned.

The air was momentarily suffocating, followed by a roar of laughter.

"Qiuqiu, who is this? The voice is so charming, save me!"

"It can't be Zhou Juan, I'm dead."

"You two are developing so fast? How did he become so good at it?"

...

The sisters in the dorm room chattered, making my already chaotic mind even more chaotic.

I really have a mental breakdown.

"He's drunk... talking nonsense." I turned off my phone, feeling guilty and my palms sweating.

"People speak the truth when they are drunk... does he really like you?"

"How could he?" I whispered.

"What do you think? These playboy types just play around."

"That's right, he has so many girlfriends that even gossip columns can't contain them."

"Right, Qiu Qiu, it's best not to believe him."

"It's okay for him to play around, he's so handsome, it would be a waste not to, but there's no need to take him seriously."

...

"I... I of course know that." I've always known this.

Ever since I found out that Liu Jing's crush was Zhou Juan, I've been silently keeping tabs on him.

He's a popular figure in the school.

One reason is because he's handsome.

The other reason is because he's a bad boy.

There are ten rumors about him, and all ten are bad.

Today he fought with someone, tomorrow he made another girl cry...he's written all over with the word "danger."

I didn't understand back then, why would a school beauty like Liu Jing, who is not in the same league as Zhou Juan, like him.

I still don't understand now.

Forget it.

I went to wash up and lay in bed, thinking I would study English vocabulary, but his voice kept echoing in my mind.

He must have thought I was trying to kiss him when he left last night, so that's why he said that.

It's killing me.

Even though he's not here, just receiving a voice message from him makes me blush.

I picked up my pillow and covered my head, trying not to think about it.

I tossed and turned until midnight and finally fell asleep.
