"Oh, stop it, Peter, you naughty boy!" Shelly said in giggles. "I'll soon tell Elaine if you keep doing this!"
Her cheeks flushed. She couldn't bear Peter's flirtatious words!
Neither of them realized that disaster was coming.
"Tell Elaine?" Peter was confused. "What's with Elaine? She's not my girlfriend. Shelly, we're both single. Why can't we be open to the idea of dating?"
"Peter, you're crazy! I'm a university graduate! A pretty university graduate!" she said winking. "Besides, what about Lisa? She'll be heartbroken!"
She told Peter.
"No one will be heartbroken, " Peter grinned. "Isn't it 'buy one, get one free'?"
Shelly and Lisa hit Peter lightly with their fists, giggling uncontrollably.
Peter jokingly feigned a scream of pain.
"Hmm, Peter? Is it true, what you said? Don't you really have a girlfriend?" Shelly couldn't help asking after they all calmed down.
Both Lisa and Shelly looked at Peter, eager for an answer.
While they both knew that Peter was out of their league, they still couldn't help but hope for he'd say yes.
"Yeah, it's true." Peter nodded. "Nowadays, finding a girlfriend is like finding a second-hand car. You have to be meticulous."
"What do you mean?" they asked, confused.
"Society is a big hotchpotch." Peter sighed. "Actually, buying a second-hand car is horrible. Previous owners still keep the keys and drive the car from time to time. They run the oils while you should repair from the damages they're responsible for."
Shelly and Lisa couldn't understand his comparison.
When his message finally dawned on Shelly, she beat his chest gently. "Oh Peter, you're so mean. You can't compare women to used cars. It's actually the men who are more difficult to understand."
"Who told you this?" Peter started, "I don't know about other men, but I'm loyal when it comes to love."
"You? You said you wanted us both just now, didn't you?" Shelly rolled her eyes.
"I was just kidding, but I am really faithful." Peter began to explain, "I just really like beautiful women. Is that so bad?"
"Hahaha, Peter, you douche!" Shelly and Lisa rocked with laughter poking at Peter.
Crunch.
Suddenly, the door of the room opened. Tommy entered, followed by seven people before he closed the door behind him.
Shelly and Lisa quickly stopped their laughter, leaning towards Peter, which made them feel less afraid.
Peter blinked. "Brother, are you lost? You seem to have entered the wrong room."
"Didn't we used to be classmates, Peter?" Tommy sat down and looked at Peter with narrowed eyes.
"Don't you remember me? You seem to have lived a happy life with these two beautiful women in your arms. Who are these angels? Won't you introduce them to an old friend?"
He said as he picked up a pair of new chopsticks, behaving like at-home and ready to eat.
His men reached for their weapons and stared at Peter and the two girls. One wrong move — a scream, a cry for help — and the men would act immediately.
Peter heard his words, knowing that Tommy came here for him, obviously, So he decided to feign fear. Shrinking back he began to concede to offering the two girls. "Brother, if you like them, I can give them to you. Please just… let me go?"
