Xiong Wanting was trying hard to adjust the atmosphere and make her happy. Shu Nian opened the second email, and this time, the word "accepted" came back.
"That's great!" Xiong Wanting was so happy that she almost jumped up on the sofa and hugged Shu Nian excitedly, "That's great! That's great! Shu Xiaonian, congratulations, you have successfully become my junior! Check the email, does it say when school starts?"
“… Yes, there are still 28 days left.”
"That means we can sleep in the same bed again in the future?" Xiong Wanting hugged Shu Nian's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "You cook so deliciously. Let's open a small restaurant in the dormitory. You cook and I clean up after. How about that?"
"… good."
Shu Nian was in a trance, staring at the email on the screen.
Go to Country M...
I stayed there for five years...
She was admitted to her dream school, which was obviously the best outcome. But...
Why is there no sporadic happiness in my heart? Instead, it feels bitter and painful.
Especially when I think of Ye Yan, my heart tightens...
"Are you unhappy?" Xiong Wanting finally realized that she was just being high. She stopped smiling and looked at Shu Nian inquiringly. Shu Nian came back to his senses and slowly closed the computer. He didn't answer her question, but just smiled and asked: "... Do you want to go for a drink tonight?"
——
Shu Nian didn't dare to go to the bar to drink. That kind of place was full of people of all kinds, and it was not suitable for her and Xiong Wanting to drink. So, Shu Nian chose the riverside where Ye Yan had taken her last time.
Xiong Wanting had been heartbroken and had not gotten over it, so she was very depressed. Shu Nian was even more depressed. The two of them got together and after drinking a little bit of wine, they couldn't control their emotions.
The first one to lose control was Xiong Wanting, who had always been a crybaby.
She clung to Shu Nian's arm tightly, "Niannian, I really like... I really like Hu Yang..."
"Actually, I really want to come here to ask for your forgiveness on his behalf... But I dare not, I'm afraid you will break up with me... You have no reason to forgive him..." Xiong Wanting sobbed, her face flushed from being drunk.
"You know what? Hu Yang and I... During the years I've been in Country M, I probably couldn't survive a single day without him... Year after year, if one day, he and I get back together, and I can't help but want to be with him again, please don't be sad, don't lose your temper with me, okay?" Xiong Wanting looked at her pleadingly with tears in her eyes, "Okay? I'm really afraid that I can't hold on for a few days..."
Love is always so torturous.
How can you really give up just like that? It always makes people worried and want to get closer...
Just like how she treated Ye Yan...
At this moment, all she could think of was him...
I know clearly that there is only an ill-fated relationship between them, but my heart is out of control...
Shu Nian didn't say anything, just drank. She thought about Ye Yan, the admission letter, and the promise she made to him that she would never leave here...
As they drank, Shu Nian got drunk.
The phone was ringing in her bag, and she took it out dazedly. At this moment, her vision was completely blurry, and she couldn't see any of the words on the screen clearly. She just answered the call and put it to her ear.
"Are you still awake?" Ye Yan's voice came from the other end of the phone. Shu Nian was drunk, completely drunk, and couldn't tell whether it was fact or his own hallucination. When he heard that familiar voice, his eyes were filled with tears.
"I can't sleep..." She murmured, lowering her eyes and looking at the river surface illuminated by the lights on the shore. "I... haven't slept in the past few days..."
Ye Yan frowned when he heard the tone, "Have you been drinking?"
"How about you? Did you sleep well?" Shu Nian's tone was unsteady, and he was obviously drunk. He could hardly pronounce the words clearly.
damn it!
How much did she drink
Although at this time, she was not as indifferent and ruthless to him as before, but when he thought that he didn't know where she was at the moment and whether she was in danger or trouble, he couldn't remain calm, let alone be happy with her attitude.
"Where are you? Who are you drinking with?" Ye Yan's voice became higher, a little irritable, and his tone was not very good. "I warned you not to drink with others. Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"
Hearing this tone, Shu Nian felt that he was being mean to him, and felt very wronged. The tears he had been holding back all night were about to seep out of his eyes.
"Ye Yan, you are not allowed to be mean to me!"
Shu Nian yelled back angrily, raising the wine bottle in his hand, looking like a complete drunkard, with no image at all.
The crying voice softened Ye Yan's heart. He sighed helplessly, "Okay, I won't be mean to you. Be good and tell me where you are."
His gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, and Shu Nian's tears, which had not yet fallen, now slipped out of his eye sockets and fell heavily.
Ye Yan felt a pain in his heart when he heard her crying. He couldn't stay any longer, so he grabbed the car keys and walked out quickly. He was very glad that he finished work early today. Otherwise, what if she was drunk outside alone and something happened
"Why are you going out so late?" Bai Suye and Ye Xiao were sitting in the living room watching TV when they saw their son hurriedly coming out of the room.
"I have something to do, so you don't have to leave the door open for me tonight." Ye Yan responded casually.
"What happened?" Bai Suye saw that he didn't look well and stood up.
"Mom, don't worry, it's just a small matter."
"I noticed that you have been in a trance recently and have lost weight. Did you have a fight with Shu Nian?" Bai Suye knew something. Ye Yan had said excitedly that he would marry Shu Nian soon, but not only has he not mentioned it in the past few days, he has also been listless and thinner.
Ye Yan said nothing, indicating his agreement.
Bai Suye sighed, "Have a good talk with her. Talk about whatever's going on. Don't keep it to yourself."
"Yeah." Ye Yan nodded.
"Be careful when driving at night."
"Then I'll go first." Ye Yan didn't stay any longer. He just changed his shoes and hurried out.
The phone in his hand was still hung up. While walking towards the garage, he spoke to Shu Nian again, "Shu Nian."
Shu Nian didn't respond to him, but fortunately, she was still sobbing intermittently, and the phone was not hung up.
"You are by the river, right?" Ye Yan asked.
"… how do you know?"
"You're sitting by the river?"
"Um."
"Don't move, don't move! Do you hear me?" Ye Yan's heart was in his throat. There were no guardrails on the river bank, and it was easy to fall down.
