Night falls, and the lights begin to shine.
In the VIP box of a top-tier club in River City, a group of young men and women are hosting a grand graduation farewell party.
Perhaps it's the smoky atmosphere in the box, or the poor ventilation, but Gu Ranran, who usually can hold her liquor well, feels flushed after consuming just one glass of champagne today.
It feels like countless ants are climbing up from the soles of her feet, slowly teasing her.
After refusing the gentlemen’s kind stay, Gu Ranran, feeling light-headed, takes her room keycard and staggers towards the suite upstairs.
As she just touches the doorknob, a sickeningly sweet voice from her university rival, Xia Xinyi, floats out from within the room.
"Shao Shu, do you think Gu Ranran will call someone to pick on me if she finds out that we sneaked behind her back into bed? Should you tell her the truth at a suitable time?"
Gu Ranran is taken by surprise when she hears her name mentioned. She convinces herself that she must be hallucinating due to the champagne.
Following that, a deeply familiar masculine voice filled with post-intimacy satisfaction penetrates through the door and reaches the ears of Gu Ranran.
"Sweety, why spoil the mood with such topics? I have pursued her for three full years in university. During these years, forget about sleeping together, we could count the number of times we held hands on one hand. I am after all a man with normal needs. No matter how beautiful she is, I must be tired of looking at her after such a long time. Unlike you, Baby, you were incredible just now."
Li Shao Shu's words feel like sharp spikes being driven directly into Gu Ranran’s heart.
She cannot believe that the boyfriend who was sweet-talking her a moment ago, and declaring she was the only one he would marry, would so quickly denigrate her in front of another woman, making a fool out of her as if she is some kind of idiot.
If it weren't for her body being unwell today and she not being able to face them, she would storm in, land a punch on each of their faces, and beat them until they cannot take care of themselves. Only then would her anger fade away.
"Who... who's there outside?"
In her agitation, the metal zipper of her clothing accidentally hits the doorknob, making a crisp sound.
Gu Ranran gave a start, her body subconsciously dodged a bit.
Originally, she was just leaning on the door of the next room, intending to hide from the gaze of those two.
However, the door of the room behind her wasn't closed at all, and when she retreated, she accidentally fell right in.
Her butt was harshly hit, but Gu Ranran didn't have time to think as she seemed to see those two despicable people chasing her out of their room.
In a panic, she quickly got up and closed the door, panting heavily after a while.
It took her a while to calm down and realize, why was she the one hiding?
It was clear that those two despicable people had wronged her, why would she need to hide?
After grinding her teeth in anger for a while, Gu Ranran found that something was increasingly wrong with her.
Earlier, she was too angry and nervous and had overlooked her odd symptoms.
Tonight, she had only had a glass of champagne, her alcohol tolerance was not bad, so there was no way she could be drunk.
Since she wasn't drunk, then there must be something wrong with the champagne.
Gu Ranran's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she was so angry that she was trembling slightly.
Someone dared to drug her, with quite audacity.
This was not her first time coming to this club, and nothing like this had ever happened before.
Who would have thought she would encounter such a thing at this time.
If she found out who dared to plot against her, she would make them regret ever being born into this world.
