Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1608 - 927: Confessions

As time passed, Lei Yu’s gaze grew increasingly dim. They’ve been together for almost a year, does it really take this long to think about whether they love each other?

"Fu Mo..."

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The phone on the coffee table vibrated. Fu Mo smiled apologetically at Lei Yu, picked up the phone to take a look, and pressed the answer button: "Nuonuo, what’s up?..."

As the story on the other end unfolded, Fu Mo’s expression became increasingly grim. After he hung up the phone, Lei Yu couldn’t help but ask, "What happened?"

Fu Mo’s eyes were full of painful conflict: "I want some quiet time. Tomorrow, I’ll give you a definite answer, okay?"

Lei Yu gazed at him deeply, got up, grabbed her bag, and walked towards the door. At the doorway, she paused, turned her head, swept her gaze around the room, sighed, and turned...

The moment the door closed heavily, Fu Mo suddenly got up and chased after her for a couple of steps, but then came to a dejected halt. What could he say if he caught up?

Say that he loves her? But if he did, how could his heart ache so much when Nuonuo told him Tangtang wants to marry Qi Bin?

For nearly a year, Tangtang has appeared by his side in various forms—quirky, understanding, unreasonable... none of them made him change his mind.

He had also always thought that his feelings for Tangtang had reached the end of the road. Yet now, upon knowing Tangtang was really leaving him, why was he so panicked?

Furthermore, when he learned that Lei Yu had framed Tangtang, his anger almost ignited. He knew very well that he wasn’t angry because Lei Yu wanted to incite conflict among the families, but because she used such a method to frame Tangtang.

He also knew that Lei Yu’s naive scheme would never succeed, but he just couldn’t suppress his anger. Instead, he felt a slight sense of relief...

This thought made him shiver—could it be that subconsciously he had been waiting for Lei Yu to make a mistake, giving him a chance to break up?

...

Once outside, staring at the endless stream of streetlights, Lei Yu felt somewhat disoriented. At this moment, she couldn’t even find someone to share her thoughts with.

Going home was not an option! Back to the dormitory? She didn’t want to face loneliness alone! After thinking for a moment, she reached out to hail a cab: "Driver, to Blue Memory."

Blue Memory is a bar. Before knowing Fu Mo, she would go there to relax during her breaks. It’s been almost a year since she last visited.

"Hey, been a while," the bartender greeted Lei Yu as she sat down, smiling, and then asked, "The usual, Dreamy Lake Leeman?"

In the past, Lei Yu always ordered this drink because she liked the intermingling layers of blue, enjoying that serene and elegant feeling.

But today, she didn’t want this drink: "No, I want a Killer."

"Hey..." The bartender hesitated a bit, knowing this drink is mixed with 1 part vodka, 1 part gin, 1 part rum, and 3 parts Bacardi, with an alcohol content reaching about 70 degrees.

Lei Yu was a regular customer here, and the bartender, having seen many beautiful women, could easily tell that this lady was definitely not the type to indulge recklessly.

Fortunately, Lei Yu could still distinguish between right and wrong. She smiled at him and said, "I’m feeling down today, I just want one glass, don’t worry, it’ll be fine."

"If you’re feeling down, why not have a drink with friends, talk while drinking? Even if the issue isn’t resolved, you’ll feel much better," the handsome bartender said while mixing her drink, trying to comfort her.

"Thank you," Lei Yu looked at him gratefully, "In a place like this, you’re the first to care about customers like this."

"Haha..." The bartender laughed, "It depends on the person. If you looked like one of those girls who party nightly, I definitely wouldn’t intervene."

"Alright, I’ll take your words as a compliment."

It was neither busy nor quiet at the bar. After mixing the drink, the bartender lounged in front of Lei Yu, chatting idly: "Working here, I’ve seen all sorts of beautiful men and women. Though I can’t compare myself to a psychologist, I’m better at reading people than the average person.

This beautiful lady used to be a regular at our bar. Each time she visited, she would order a Dreamy Lake Leeman, savor it, and then leave without paying attention to anyone who tried to talk to her, nor did she acknowledge the handsome men offering to pay her tab. It indicates that she came here just to soak in the atmosphere.

This is different from those women who come to bars with intentions. If it were them, sticking my nose in might just get me beaten up."

Taking a sip of the strong liquor, Lei Yu felt her stomach burning. After a brief pause, she said, "I never realized you were quite interesting. By the way, judging by feel, you’ve been working here for two or three years, right?"
