Even so, I still miss you
The atmosphere was stiff for a long time, only then did Ye Zi Xuan come back to her senses, and poured two cups of wine for each other to ease the deadlock: "Come, let's toast on your birthday."
She couldn't figure out how to answer that question no matter how hard she thought. If she answered it too directly, it would be too hurtful.
They were both adults, and Ji Hao Chuan's emotional intelligence was extremely high. Looking at the cup of wine that was handed over with his slender fingers, a sense of loss flashed across his lips, and he laughed: "Alright, cheers!"
The scarlet liquid was bitter, and their hearts were bitter.
The romantic song and zither music from before still lingered in his heart, but it could only be used as a backrest.
They all understood each other's thoughts.
Because of Ye Zi Xuan's contribution, this birthday was extremely awkward. After that, Ji Hao Chuan spent most of her time drinking alcohol, drinking cup after cup, bottle after bottle, until the end.
When the third bottle was about to reach the bottom, he also poured a cup for Ye Zi Xuan. With narrowed eyes, he raised his cup while smiling and feeling drunk: "Come, it's my birthday today.
His last few words were barely audible. Ye Zi Xuan knew that he was sad, so he put down the wine cup and advised: "Drink enough, I'll send you back."
She walked over to support Ji Hao Chuan, but he did not resist, as though they had reached a tacit understanding, and allowed her to support him. He knew that this was the only reason why she was willing to get closer to him.
After guarding it for three years, he felt that hugging it for so many years was a luxury that was far away from his reach.
Both of them drank and were celebrities, so the restaurant had already called the driver to wait at the door.
She also didn't know how she helped the big Ji Hao Chuan onto the car, she only ordered the driver to go to Ji Hao Chuan's apartment.
It was already late into the night, and the Qingtan City was much quieter. There weren't any cars on the way back, so it was a bit colder.
Ji Hao Chuan leaned on her drunkenly, randomly saying some things he couldn't hear clearly, but she kept on looking outside, his eyes red.
This was the first time she saw Ji Hao Chuan getting drunk like this, and also the first time she saw him being so weak.
No matter what kind of scandal she caused, he would be able to solve it in an instant. This included this time, even if he had to fight against someone like Huo Jing Yan, he would not flinch at all.
He was the hero in her heart, and she knew that heroes were only there to watch.
The cold wind blew through the gaps between the windows, and Ji Hao Chuan's low voice continued to sound, "I can drive back myself, let me …"
He had said this countless times, with a deep voice and delicate face that could move anyone who saw it.
Compared to Huo Jing Yan, he was much better.
However …
Damn it, how could she unconsciously compare Ji Hao Chuan to Huo Jing Yan?
"You! Go back and make a cup of sobering tea for your husband. Otherwise, he will have a headache tomorrow morning."
She was still lost in her thoughts when the driver's voice woke her. What husband? Husband?
Did they look like couples?
Maybe it was because the light was too dim that the phone couldn't see who they were. In addition, Ye Zi Xuan was wearing sunglasses and others thought that they were husband and wife, she was too lazy to explain. The more she explained, the more complicated it became.
"You're welcome. Every time I go home after drinking, my wife will make me some alcohol to wake me up to tea and take care of me. If you were like this, he would definitely be very happy."
The driver seemed to be talking too much, but his mouth was brimming with happiness.
Actually, it's good for an ordinary couple to not be in need of food and drinks, isn't it? At least not so much.
When they reached the apartment building, Ye Zi Xuan got the driver to help him into the elevator before letting him go.
Ji Hao Chuan was very drunk, his slender body took a long time to bring him home, and she helped him lie on the bed.
Looking at how drunk he looked, she felt a headache. Why did men like to drink so much? What's the point?
Is it really because my heart is too bitter?
She looked at Ji Hao Chuan who was lying on the ground at that moment, and shook his head helplessly. He helped him take off his jacket and shoes, and then covered him up with a blanket.
Although he lived alone, his room was clean and tidy. Ye Zi Xuan skillfully found the Spirit-Sobering Tea that was kept in the cupboard. He had to socialize often and drink a lot of wine with the guests.
He remembered that he was not used to it in the beginning, but Ye Zi Xuan would remind him and urge him every day.
She really wanted to be doted on by her husband, but when she thought about how warm they were, she felt that it was a bit too excessive. After all, she didn't have that kind of feelings for him.
She stood in the kitchen in a daze for a long time, then went back to her bedroom after the stirring of the Awakening Tea had cooled down.
She placed the teacup on the bedside table, and helped him tuck in his blanket, saying: "Rest well, after you wake up, drink your Sober Wine. I'll be going back first."
Her other hand was still not very convenient, and she was afraid that she would be slapped by Doggy that would appear at any moment.
She turned around and prepared to leave, but Ji Hao Chuan reached out a hand and pulled her back. She lost her balance and directly fell onto Ji Hao Chuan's body.
She was stunned for a moment and wanted to struggle free, but Ji Hao Chuan held her tighter. Her low voice sounded as weak as a child's, "Stay here for a while, I miss you a lot."
Even so, she still broke free from his grasp. That kind of action was simply too ambiguous, she didn't seem to realize at all why she was quietly staying and even enjoying herself when Huo Jing Yan was doing this.
Or perhaps this was the difference, the difference between the two men, the difference in her heart.
The light was very dim, and the majority of the light that shone onto their faces were shadows. Ye Zi Xuan straightforwardly squatted on the side of the bed, and said with a soft voice: "I'm right in front of you, rest well."
Maybe the only thing left in her heart was apologizing and feeling sorry for Ji Hao Chuan.
As she said this, he continued to hold her hand tightly and said with an extremely reluctant tone, "Even so, I still miss you very much. I really want to."
Those days when she left, Ji Hao Chuan had indeed missed her a lot. If it wasn't to deal with the storm, he would have definitely gone on vacation with Ye Zi Xuan.
Until Xu Si Tong came back and told him that she was with Huo Jing Yan, his yearning became even crazier. He really wanted to rush over immediately, but he didn't, because she was afraid that Ye Zi Xuan would feel awkward.
Therefore, asking her to come back early to film was also a very special way for him to miss her.
