Chapter 81

Outside the window, there had been innumerable flashes of lightning. The black night sky was split by silver streaks of lightning followed by roaring thunder.

Wang Weixi frowned and looked at his phone. Still no reply from Chen Kexin. At this time, if Yi Duanfang and Chen Keren were with her, she should not be scared. Thinking of this, his heart became at ease. He decided that when the busy period was over, he had to thank Yi Duanfang and Chen Keren really well, and, incidentally, help the relationship between the two progress.

“Why not?” Thunder and lightning flashed outside the window, but Tong Siqi, who was sitting by the window, was indifferent. She just disinterestedly held up her glass and demanded an answer from Wang Weixi.

Wang Weixi looked at the wine on the table but did not serve it. Instead, he asked with some worry, “Haven’t you drunk too much today? Let’s go home early. Otherwise, Little Hong will be worried.”

Regarding Little Hong, some time ago, Tong Siqi had told him the story during a casual conversation. It had made Wang Weixi sincerely admire Tong Siqi. It turned out that Little Hong had almost dropped out of college because she had no money. Tong Siqi gave her money to finish college and then hired her after graduation. When she was helping Little Hong, she herself had only just entered society and her salary was not much, so the two of them had suffered a lot. Little Hong was very grateful for this, so she did her best in everything.

“Perhaps, she saw her old self in Little Hong,” Wang Weixi thought.

Under the colored glaze lamp, Tong Siqi’s cheeks had reddened slightly. Wang Weixi was worried. She seemed quite different today, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was different.

“What? I just feel very happy, why? You are not afraid of me, are you? Would I be able to eat you?” Tong Siqi said and then downed the glass of red wine.

Wang Weixi smiled helplessly and said, “I am worried about you. You are not a tiger. Why would I be afraid of you?”

Even so, Wang Weixi stopped trying to persuade her. Even if she was drunk, it would be nice to send her back like he did last time.

What’s more, Wang Weixi knew better than anyone that although Tong Siqi had changed, her caring and considerate nature had not changed at all. She was always conscious about his comfort, always reminding him what flowers to add to his tea, and always asking him out to see all kinds of designs. Wang Weixi sometimes even felt that this woman… wasn’t this the kind of woman he liked best back then? Even now, he thought this kind of woman was very charming…

“Am I a little drunk?” Wang Weixi frowned and smiled helplessly when he realized he was thinking about these things. The rain outside the window was still falling, it seemed to have gotten weaker, but the thunder was still loud, making people jump every time.

“No wine? Waiter—” Tong Siqi waved the empty bottle of red wine, wanting another bottle. Wang Weixi stopped her. He called the waiter and forced him to get the bill. When he paid for it, he couldn’t help but feel his heart ache because of the huge bill. Fortunately, the company had told him they would reimburse all the expenses with Jinxiu Company, otherwise, he would have to hide in bed and cry.

Tong Siqi was very drunk. Wang Weixi could not help but slowly help her up to leave.

In the car, Wang Weixi carefully helped her fasten her seatbelt and then took a towel to wipe her hair that had just been caught in the rain. The smell of wine was overwhelming, making him dizzy.

Wang Weixi thought, with this kind of night, it would be wise to go back early.

Just as he was about to start the car, Tong Siqi, who was beside him, grabbed his hand.

Wang Weixi’s body froze. He turned and gave Tong Siqi a strange look.

At this moment, Tong Siqi’s eyes were heavy-lidded, and because she was drunk, her cheeks were red and very attractive. She smiled and looked at Wang Weixi beside her. Suddenly she leaned over. Somehow, her seat belt had become unfastened.

Wang Weixi just sat there, but before he could push her away, two hot and moist lips had fastened on to his.

Wang Weixi’s heart “thumped”, and his brain went blank. Not knowing how to respond, he just let Tong Siqi kiss him. By the time he thought of reacting, Tong Siqi was already sitting on his lap.

Wang Weixi felt his body responding.

“Damn it!”

He pushed Tong Siqi away, causing her to cling to the steering wheel. The car horn sounded.

Wang Weixi hurriedly moved Tong Siqi back to the passenger seat, his eyes full of anger. However, just as he was about to express his anger, he saw Tong Siqi with her head cocked to the side, fast asleep.

Wang Weixi’s anger suddenly went away. Although Yi Duanfang had warned him at the beginning, he did not expect Tong Siqi to do anything to him after all these years. Only this kiss… he gently touched his lips. Here, there was still a trace of fragrance left by Tong Siqi just now.

“Is this kiss due to hatred or love? Tong Siqi, what’s wrong with you?”

It was too late to think about it, so Wang Weixi quickly drove and left the place. When he arrived at Jiulong Hotel, he saw Little Hong from a distance, already waiting at the door.

As Little Hong ran over, Wang Weixi’s face was a little pale. “Siqi is drunk, please find someone to send her up.” For some reason, Wang Weixi did not want to step into Tong Siqi’s room again.

Little Hong was stunned when she heard this. Then she said angrily, “Mr. Wang, why are you doing this? Miss Tong got drunk in your company. Where do you want me to find someone now? You should know, Miss Tong is very beautiful. Many people want to… want to take advantage of her, you can’t…” As she said this, the little girl looked at Wang Weixi as if she had suffered some injustice.

After hearing this, Wang Weixi was stunned. He had forgotten that there were wolves in the company who wanted to take advantage of beautiful women. There was no way out. He just took Tong Siqi out of the car like last time. Then he went upstairs while Little Hong watched in surprise. He went all the way to Tong Siqi’s room.

“I’ll just get something, Mr. Wang. I’ll have to trouble you here.” Seeming to have remembered something, Little Hong left almost as soon as she entered Tong Siqi’s room.

Wang Weixi thought she was going to get something for Tong Siqi to sober up, so he didn’t think much of it. He closed the door, turned on the light, and carried Tong Siqi to the bed.

It was the same scene as before, the only difference was that Wang Weixi wanted to escape quickly at the moment. He had never wanted to escape before. He didn’t know how to face the woman in front of him. In fact, his heart was very clear. He could not let go of Tong Siqi. He always thought that this was just the attitude of every man toward first love. He never thought that when Tong Siqi did something like that, he would actually be… a little excited deep inside his heart.

He suddenly felt very shameless. Shamefully, he could not face Chen Kexin who was at home and Tong Siqi who lay drunk here at the moment. He did not know whether this was Tong Siqi’s punishment for him, but he did not understand why Tong Siqi hated him so much. Yes, if all this was intentional, it only proved that she hated him, didn’t it?

He turned around and prepared to leave.

On the bed, Tong Siqi suddenly pulled off the quilt and then ran out and hugged Wang Weixi from behind.

Wang Weixi’s body paused and said, “Don’t do this, Siqi, you are drunk.” Faced with Tong Siqi, who had lost most, Wang Weixi had anger, but he did not know where to direct it.

Tong Siqi didn’t answer him or let him go, but her hands slyly went to unbutton his suit.

Wang Weixi frowned, grabbed her by the hand, turned around, and said angrily, “I said, Siqi, you are drunk. Don’t do this.”

Tong Siqi’s eyes were half-closed as she looked at him. Tonight she was very charming, somewhat resembling Chen Kexin, shaking Wang Weixi’s delirious thoughts.

While Wang Weixi was lost in his thoughts, she had actually pulled his suit off. He did not know where her strength had come from, but he again took her hand tightly and did not let her continue.

It didn’t matter whether Tong Siqi had done this on purpose or not. Wang Weixi was willing to consider all of this as her just being drunk and delirious.

Tong Siqi raised her head and tears swirled in her bright eyes. Wang Weixi saw her delicate and pathetic appearance and released her hands. Tong Siqi hugged his waist. Wang Weixi raised his hand. With trembling hands, he touched her face and saw two streams of tears sliding slowly. He suddenly felt distressed. Seeing her like this, how familiar was it? “But… but… it was agreed that everything was just a memory. Didn’t you say we should never meet again? Didn’t you say that there was no more love between us?

“What is your grievance? What are these tears? What did you mean by your kiss?”

Tong Siqi looked at him with infatuation, and it seemed to reveal all the tenderness in her heart toward Wang Weixi. The bright light hit her face and it glowed like a pink lotus flower blooming in the night.

Outside the window, a flash of lightning suddenly lit up the night sky followed by deafening thunder.

Wang Weixi stared at the shivering person in front of him. “How did I forget? Actually, she was most afraid of thunder.” That summer, when they were playing in the lotus pond, the weather suddenly changed. Thunder and lightning frightened her into hiding in his arms in panic. At that time, he was a little confused. Although he knew that she was a white lotus that could not be touched, Wang Weixi kissed her on the lips. At that time, she was in his arms and tightly hugged him. At first, she was a little timid and just let him plunder. Later, she hooked her arms around his neck and responded warmly to him.

That summer night, he thought it was the happiest summer night.

Now, if the two of them were the same, would everything go back to the way it was in the past? The answer was no, Wang Weixi was very sure of this, so at this moment, he took her hands from around his waist and said softly, “Siqi, you are tired, go to sleep quickly.”

Tong Siqi did not persist in hugging him. Wang Weixi’s actions had explained everything. Her heart at this moment had finally shattered into pieces. She was desolate.
