Chapter 185 Shut Up
When Yuliana heard Craig calling her name, she subconsciously looked at him.
“Ms. Livingstone, do you remember me?” Craig smiled at Yuliana.
He had a delicate face and a very infectious smile. He also had a cute little canine tooth. If Yuliana hadn’t known that he was a classmate of Christopher at university, she would have thought he was still a university student.
Hearing his words, Yuliana was stunned for a moment and then thought about it carefully. Although she and Christopher were in the same university, their majors were different. The university campus was bigger than the high school, so it wasn’t easy to meet someone.
Besides, Yuliana and Craig didn’t know each other. Even if they met occasionally, they would pass by each other and wouldn’t remember each other.
However, what Craig meant was that they had met before.
Craig looked at Christopher and sighed regretfully, “I don’t think she remembers.”
Yuliana also glanced at Christopher, who was pouring coffee and didn’t show much emotion. She turned her eyes to Craig again and asked, “Have we met each other before?”
Craig didn’t say anything. He only used his hands to gesture. At first, Yuliana didn’t see what he was gesturing. Later, she realized that he was doing the action of holding an umbrella.
Yuliana was confused for a few seconds. Then, she suddenly remembered something and said in surprise, “Umbrella!”
Craig replied, “Do you remember now?”
Yuliana nodded and said with a smile, “I haven’t thanked you yet!”
Raymond looked at them and didn’t understand what was going on. He asked, “What are you two doing?”
Yuliana was about to explain when Craig said, “What does it have to do with you? This is the secret between Ms. Livingstone and me!”
Craig’s words were ambiguous, so Yuliana shot Christopher a sideways glance and saw him sipping coffee while glancing toward Craig.
Raymond poked Christopher and asked, “Chris, listen. Does he know what he is saying?”
Christopher’s ears turned red. He glanced at Raymond coldly and said, “Shut up.”
Craig raised his eyebrows at Raymond proudly.
Yuliana didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that the umbrella she borrowed that night was from Christopher’s schoolmate, Craig.
Yuliana remembered she was in her sophomore year that night. The final exam was around the corner, so she was studying in the library. When she left, it was a little late and raining heavily. The library was quite far from the dormitory, and it would take more than 20 minutes to walk back.
When she was standing at the library door and didn’t know what to do, someone suddenly handed her an umbrella. Before she could react, the man stuffed the umbrella into her hands and rushed into the rain in his hoodie.
Yuliana didn’t even see what the person looked like.
She wanted to find an opportunity to return the umbrella, but the man who borrowed her that night didn’t show up until she graduated from university.
When Yuliana moved out of the dormitory after graduation, she lost the umbrella.
After graduation, Yuliana also forgot about that matter.
The waiters began to serve the dishes one after another, and everyone was chatting while eating.
Most of Christopher’s friends were male. Besides Yuliana and Xandria, there was another woman who was one of Christopher’s friend’s girlfriends. Perhaps because she was not very familiar with the people there, so she didn’t speak much and had a weak sense of presence.
There were many men, so they drank a lot, especially Christopher. Raymond took the lead to drink with
Yuliana but was stopped by Christopher. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
When the group of men gathered together, they began to talk a lot after drinking too much.
However, Christopher was slightly better. He didn’t say much. Most of the time, he listened to Raymond and the others talk. He would laugh when he heard something funny and interrupt occasionally.
It could be seen that Christopher was very relaxed when he was around these people.
This was something Yuliana had never seen before.
Christopher took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair. He was wearing a black round-collar sweater with his sleeves folded up. He put one hand on the back of Yuliana’s chair while holding the wine glass and toasting with others on the other hand.
With that, he downed his wine in one gulp.
After finishing his wine, Raymond filled up Christopher’s glass again while he smiled at the others.
Yuliana was stunned for a moment.
Christopher noticed something and looked at her.
As their eyes met, Christopher pinched Yuliana’s earlobe with the hand on the back of her chair, asking, “Are
you tired?”
Christopher’s skin was pale, and he blushed easily after drinking alcohol. After a few glasses of wine, his whole face had turned red. Even his eyes were dark and bright when he looked at her.
Yuliana shook her head and withdrew her gaze. She felt thirsty, so she took a sip of warm water.
Christopher saw the cup in front of her was empty, so he stretched out his long arm, picked up the kettle from the rack behind him, and refilled her water.
Yuliana picked up her cup and drank it slowly.
Xandria also drank a lot, and people were playing drinking games with her. However, she kept losing, so she did most of the drinking. Then, Yuliana accompanied her to the bathroom, and she vomited.
When they were returning to their private room, they met someone who was a friend of Xandria. Yuliana had also met him before but couldn’t remember his name.
Xandria had good alcohol tolerance, so she was not completely drunk. She heard someone calling her name. After a moment, she quickly recognized the man. “Golden?”
“Yes, it’s me. It looks like you’re still sober.” Golden smiled and pointed to the public area behind him. “Xani, Larry is also there. Do you want to go with me?”
Xandria frowned slightly and lost balance. As she stumbled, the man immediately reached out to hold her.
Xandria fell into his arms and touched his nose, saying, “No!”
Then, she shook off the man and wanted to leave with Yuliana.
Golden called Xandria again, but the latter didn’t answer. She took Yuliana back to their private room.
Golden went to the bathroom and came back. He sat beside Larry and said, “Larry, guess who I met just
now?”
Larry drank his wine and looked back at him. “Who?”
“Xani, and her friend, Yuliana.”
Golden’s actual name was Orlando Golding. His friends nicknamed him Golden.
He met Xandria through Larry.
In the past, Larry and Xandria were very close to each other. Wherever Xandria appeared, Larry would basically be there too. Golden once thought Larry liked Xandria. After a long time, he knew they weren’t in a relationship after realizing they had nothing going on.
If he hadn’t met Xandria just now, he wouldn’t have noticed that Larry hadn’t mentioned her for a long time when they were hanging out together.
Hearing what Golden said. Larry’s eyes turned cold. He said nothing but raised his head and drank the wine as if he didn’t hear it. Then he laughed and chatted with the others.
Golden scratched the back of his head, looked at Larry in confusion, and didn’t mention Xandria again.
