You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 667 Did She Like Him

The fun and excitement in the room went on. Austin received a WeChat message from his father, who informed him that someone had put a stop to their investigation, and warned the boy against provoking Leon.

Austin replied, "Okay." He then put away his phone and saw that Michelle was chugging back alcohol as punishment for losing the game. Her face was red and she was obviously drunk.

There were no classes in their final year at the university. The seniors were all busy preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam or getting internships. They wouldn't meet again until they returned to the campus for the graduation oral examination.

A very tipsy Rainy cried and hugged her roommates before falling asleep in her boyfriend's arms.

Debra and Aron were having a contest. They stood there, playing drinking games, while the others watched.

Resting her head against Lydia's neck, Michelle admitted, "Lydia, I'm a little sad."

"There's nothing to be sad about. We'll all come back for graduation in June." Lydia patted Michelle on the head and reached for her drink. They clinked glasses. "Debra and I are staying in the dorm. You are in Lexingport City. We can meet any time we want."

Lydia was not good at drinking so no one let her imbibe too much alcohol. As a result, she was relatively sober the whole time.

She took a modest sip. When she turned to look at Michelle, the other girl had consumed more than half of the wine in her glass in one gulp.

She was impressed.

Michelle blinked, her eyes becoming bleary.

She was feeling morose that they wouldn't have any more classes together, but there was something else she was sadder about. She just couldn't figure out why she was feeling sad about it.

She didn't want to think about it so she finished the rest of her wine, feeling it sting the back of her throat. It was similar to when she first tasted wine, but now the alcohol left a bitter taste in her mouth.

At around half past ten, they helped each other as they left the Silverhall Nightclub and, together, made their way back to the university.

Rainy's boyfriend had spirited her away. Robin and Kane were so drunk that they had to lean heavily on either side of Aron to stay upright.

Aron sputtered in disbelief.

He drank more than they did, so he was also buzzed, but they were drunker than he was.

He shrugged, wanting to be rid of them both. But in the end, he decided not to leave Robin and Kane out on the street in fear of retaliation the next day.

Debra was also drunk but she was still conscious. She staggered as she tried to walk in a straight line in front of her friends. "Look! I'm not drunk!"

"Okay, okay. You are not drunk," Lydia replied in agreement and hurried to support her.

Michelle's face was still flushed and she had a little headache, but she had no problems walking and talking.

However, Austin was still worried about her. "Are you feeling dizzy?" he asked.

"No." Michelle shook her head, but as soon as she denied it, she stumbled.

Austin reached out to help her but Michelle found her balance. She turned to face him with a silly grin. "Austin, I forgot to tell you that I know where Leon went."

"Okay." Austin smiled. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Michelle, how well do you know Leon?"

"I know that he is a good man." Michelle giggled, her eyes narrowing into slits.

Austin chuckled. It was as if, in Michelle's eyes, there were no bad people.

"What about his family? Do you know anything about them? I know he is Nini's brother. What does their family do?"

"Nini's family," Michelle paused and frowned. "Poor Nini. She wouldn't admit it but she led a poor life before. After she married Uncle John, I stopped feeling bad for her. He is so good to her."

The red wine affected her more than she thought. She was definitely tipsy and her words were becoming slurred. She was smiling a while ago, but now she was angry. "But, later, Uncle John became bad. He lost Nini and he himself went missing. He deserved it."

"Uncle John?" Austin had secretly investigated Michelle's background but he couldn't remember if there was a man named John among her relatives.

"But I'm also worried about Uncle John. If Nini comes back and learns that he is missing, she'll be sad," Michelle carried on as if she didn't hear Austin's question.

Austin patiently asked once more, "Who is Uncle John?"

"Uncle John is Uncle John." Michelle looked up at Austin. "Nini's husband is Uncle John. His name is John Shi. Many people call him Mr. Shi."

Austin's mind went blank as soon as he heard the name. It was impossible not to know John Shi.

However, Austin had never paid attention to scandals. He didn't know that posts about Nina selling her body used to circulate the school, let alone the fact that John and Nina were a couple.

Austin was stunned.

'If Nina is really Mr. Shi's wife and Leon is Mr. Shi's brother-in-law, it makes sense that my father was given a warning when he tried to investigate Leon. It had to be the Shi family who did it.'

Having figured that out, Austin stopped interrogating Michelle. The two of them walked to the side of the road where Debra had arranged for two cars to pick them up.

In the car, Debra shook Michelle's arm and insisted, "You must put in a good word for me with your master. Ask him if I can add him on WeChat so I can pursue him."

The windows of the car were rolled down, letting the cool night air breeze in. Michelle, who had been tipsy earlier, sobered up instantly. She no longer had a headache but her mind still felt a little fuzzy.

She pondered over Debra's words a couple of times before her eyes widened in surprise. She asked, "You like my master?"

"Yes." Debra nodded. "Yes, I like him! I like men who look cool and fierce."

Michelle blinked in confusion, her eyelashes fluttering. "But you've only met Wynn once. How did you know that you like him?"

"Listen." Debra took Michelle's hand and pressed it against her chest. "Isn't my heart beating very fast? And touch my face. Aren't my cheeks warm and red?"

She pressed her cheek to the palm of Michelle's hand. Then, she admitted, "The first time I saw Wynn, I was obsessed with him. When I think of him, my heart beats fast and my face turns red."

"But our hearts beat all the time. If it didn't, we would die," Michelle said. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Aron, who was seated in the front passenger seat, turned to look at Michelle. The corners of his lips lifted slightly into an indulgent smile.

Seated on the other side of Michelle was Lydia who couldn't help herself and burst into laughter. Michelle seemed confused, so Lydia kindly explained to her what Debra really meant.

"What Debra means is that, when she first saw Wynn, her heart beat faster and she blushed. These are indicators that she likes him. She's fallen in love with him at first sight."

"Yes, exactly." Debra nodded. "My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest. It was beating so fast."

'The heart beats faster? As if it could jump out?

This is love?

I've felt like this more than once when I was with Leon.

So I like him?'

Michelle was shocked.
