“sorry! The number you have dialed is turned off. ”
Cheng Lin originally thought that she would hear Jack’s happy voice, but she didn’t expect to hear the voice of the server woman.
“TURNED OFF? ” She took off the phone and muttered in surprise. “probably busy, then I’ll call him later. ”
Cheng Lin thought that Jack might be doing his research, so she didn’t think too much about it. She tidied up her room at home and then called Jack Again.
“sorry! The number you have dialed is off. ”
It was still the voice of the server woman. Cheng Lin pursed her lips in disappointment, but she didn’t think too much about it. She felt that Jack might still be busy, so she sat in the living room and watched TV.
Only an afternoon had passed. Seeing that it was almost dinner time, Cheng Lin’s heart became more and more disappointed.
She had called Jack At least 20 times. Every 20 minutes, she would call him, but every time she heard the voice of the woman on the server.
“I’m sorry! The number you have dialed is turned off. ”
After Cheng Lin finished the call, she still heard the voice of the server, and her heart gradually turned cold.
She told herself not to think too much. She told herself that Jack was busy now, and not to blacklist her, or that he deliberately turned off the machine so that no one could find him.
She tried her best to tell herself that Jack would not do that.
“No, no. ”
Cheng Lin shook her head in disbelief. She kept muttering, “No. ” She would rather think that Jack was busy, but she was also willing to believe him… …
She could not accept that the love that had just arrived had died. She could not accept that she had just found out that she had fallen in love with Jack, but he had already chosen to forget about her.
No, she did not want that to happen.
At that moment, Jack was locking himself up at home. His bedroom, living room, and everywhere were wine bottles. The entire house was filled with the smell of alcohol.
“Why? Why don’t you love me? ”
These few days, Jack almost fell asleep when he was drunk. After he fell asleep, he continued to drink, not even a grain of rice.
He felt that only after he fell asleep when he was drunk would he not feel so much pain, and he would not think of the woman who did not love him.
He was practically lying at the top of the stairs, his face in a sorry state. He muttered as he drank, and then he muttered as he drank.
“What is it about me that is not good enough? Why don’t you love me? If I am not good enough, you can say it, and I will change. ”
Jack drank a mouthful of wine and continued to mutter in pain. “In the past, I didn’t deliberately target you to use you as an experiment. Can’t I just say I’m sorry to you? Does a person deserve to be in pain forever after making a mistake? ”
“HEHEHE… ! ”
Jack climbed up the stairs sadly. He couldn’t even walk properly, and his face was flushed with alcohol.
Other than using alcohol to numb his nerves, he couldn’t find any other way to make himself happy.
Even his favorite medicine had lost its interest. His mind was filled with her shadow, no matter if he stopped or worked.
“whew… ! ”
Jack took a deep breath and drank the remaining half bottle of wine. He threw it casually and the bottle rolled down the stairs into the hall.
Just as he reached the last step, he suddenly saw the cell phone he had thrown at the corner of the wall.
“It’s been three days and you haven’t even called me, hehehe… ”
Jack stumbled to pick up his phone and laughed sarcastically.
It’s been three days, and he hasn’t called me. What does that mean?
It means that he really means nothing to her.
“Is the phone off? ”
Jack tried to press the phone, but there was no response. Only then did he realize that the phone should have turned off automatically when it ran out of battery.
But for some reason, he clearly didn’t care whether the phone was off or not, but he still stumbled to the lobby downstairs and took out the charger to charge the phone.
“What are you expecting? She doesn’t love you, why would she call you? ”
After Jack charged his phone, he laughed at himself again. Because he drank too much, his face was hot and red.
Thinking of her, his heart hurt again. Seeing that there was still a bottle of unopened wine on the coffee table, he simply sat down on the Sofa and opened the last bottle.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, using alcohol to numb himself after a breakup was the stupidest move, but in his heart, it could really ease his pain.
It was just that every time he woke up drunk, his heart would still ache, but even so, it was still better than being in so much pain that he couldn’t fall asleep every day.
After drinking more than half a bottle of wine, he finally remembered that his phone could be turned on. He narrowed his eyes, which were already hazy from the drunkenness, and reached out to take the phone, then turned it on.
What he didn’t expect was that just as he turned the phone on, he saw more than 20 calls. When he opened it, he saw that all of them were from Cheng Lin.
Moreover, the time was all this afternoon, and there was a call every 20 minutes.
Jack seemed to have stopped breathing. It was so quiet in the room that he could hear a pin drop on the floor.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, thinking that he must have seen wrongly.
But after rubbing his eyes, he pinched himself again. After feeling the pain, he was sure that he had not seen wrongly, and that it was real.
Cheng Lin had really called him more than 20 times.
Jack was very happy, but after being happy, he was a little afraid. Even he did not know what he was afraid of.
However, he couldn’t help but call Cheng Lin back, even though he was so drunk that he wanted to sleep.
Cheng Lin hung up the phone dejectedly and was a little stunned. She even started to think about whether something had happened to Jack, so… …
Just when she was about to go out and look for Jack, She received a call from Jack.
“Jack! Where are you? Why did you turn off your phone? ”
After Cheng Lin picked up the phone, she asked two questions in a row. Even she herself didn’t realize that her voice was so anxious that there was even a hint of crying in it.
“I’m at home. My phone ran out of battery earlier, so I turned it off. ”
Jack answered subconsciously. He felt that something was wrong with Cheng Lin’s voice, so he asked with concern, “what’s wrong? ”
“Jack! Wait for me at home. I’ll come and find you right away. ”
When Cheng Lin heard that he was at home, she picked up her bag and left the house. Then, she drove straight to Jack’s villa.
“Jack! Open the door. ”
Cheng Lin was so nervous that she actually forgot to ring the doorbell. Instead, she called out with her voice.
