As the slap sounded, Lai Yang felt a burning pain on his face.
But he saw Yuan Shengda's lips tremble, and his angry eyes instantly turned into one of heartache.
Her hand hanging in the air moved slightly closer to her cheek, but she quickly retracted it, covered her face with her hands, and lay on the table crying.
Lai Yang felt indescribable sadness in his heart, but just as he was about to comfort her, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder. He looked up and saw two burly men standing beside him.
"How dare you? Even a slap won't drive you away, yet you're still harassing her here?"
Lai Yang was already furious. He stood up with a bang and said with a gloomy face, "Take your hands away and don't bother me!"
"You're annoying your dad! Are you looking for a beating, little bastard?!"
The man grabbed Lai Yang's collar fiercely and was about to attack when suddenly glass shards flew across the table and the sound of a wine bottle breaking suddenly rang out!
Yuan Shengda tightly grasped the broken bottleneck, his eyes bloodshot as he roared at the man's neck.
"If you dare to touch him, I will kill you—"
This completely attracted the attention of most of the customers in the bar. The bartender also came over and tried to persuade them not to be impulsive, otherwise he would call the police.
The music stopped. The man looked around, smiled awkwardly, and looked back.
"Beauty, I saw you just started a fight, I thought I was harassing you, what do you mean by this?"
"I am the only one in the world who can touch him. No one else has the right. Take your hand away—" Yuan Sheng said with tears in his eyes, and every word was clear.
The man's face suddenly turned gloomy. He slowly loosened Lai Yang's collar, glared at her and called her a psycho, then turned away angrily.
Lai Yang's tense mood also relaxed, and when she looked at Yuan Shengda again, her eyes became particularly complicated.
As tears welled up in her eyes, her hands holding the bottleneck began to tremble.
The bar manager squeezed out and yelled at them to compensate for the damaged table and leave immediately.
Lai Yang apologized and followed the person in charge to the front desk to settle the bill and pay the compensation. After he finished, he turned around and found that the table was empty.
He hurried out of the bar and found Yuan Shengda sitting next to a huge sycamore tree on the street vomiting.
It was very late at night. The leaves of the sycamore tree rustled in the wind, and the shadows of the tree fell on her, making her figure flicker. In this transition between light and darkness, Lai Yang seemed to see a broken heart.
But even she herself can't
The healed heart wants to protect itself again and again.
It was like this tonight, and it was also like this that time in the dark alley of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music!
For some reason, Lai Yang's mind suddenly flashed with Tian Jing's words "awakening love". He looked at Yuan Shengda blankly. At this moment, his heart was entangled with a different feeling.
I feel touched, sad, and it's an indescribable feeling.
…
After carrying Yuan Shengda back to the house, Lai Yang put her on the bed. She was completely drunk at this point, but tears were still flowing from the corners of her eyes.
When I waved the wet towel to wipe her face, she vomited on the sheets again.
Lai Yang cleaned up for her bit by bit, then sat in the living room, picked up his phone and sent a message to the group, telling everyone not to worry.
Li Dian and others replied quickly and asked various questions. Even Huzi, who didn't understand what was going on, asked curiously what happened
But Alu, who was about to get engaged to Yuan Shengda, didn't say a word.
It was already past two in the morning. Lai Yang hesitated for a while, then composed a text and sent it to Tian Jing, saying that he would not come tonight.
I thought she might have taken a rest, but unexpectedly, less than ten seconds later, Tian Jing replied with a "OK".
Lai Yang's heart trembled, and then he thought of the scene of Tian Jing waiting for him at home. After all, he had told her to wait tonight, but the result of the wait was like this.
It’s not that he was overthinking it, it’s mainly because Tian Jing had just finished telling the story of her mother waiting for her father tonight, so the contrast at this moment was very obvious.
Is it okay if the noise is loud? Tian Jing replied again.
Well... don't worry, everything is fine.
Were you in her room
Lai Yang looked at the message and didn't know how to respond for a moment, but due to the delay, a minute passed quickly, which was really embarrassing.
After shaking his head, Lai Yang took a breath and replied: Well, she has been vomiting and someone needs to take care of her.
Well, then you take good care of her.
Lai Yang looked confused after reading this message. He felt that he should reply with something, but he didn't know what to say.
Time always passes quickly at times like this. A few minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and even if Lai Yang wanted to go back, it was no longer convenient.
After a moment of extreme silence, the phone suddenly rang.
It was Aru who called, he finally called.
Lai Yang walked out of the room quietly, went downstairs and answered the call. He originally wanted to restrain himself, but when he heard Aru calling him Brother Yang, his emotions suddenly exploded!
"Don't call me Brother Yang! I'm asking you, is that woman your fiancée? What are you hiding, you bastard?"
"...Brother Yang, I...I'm sorry for being so loud, is she okay?"
"Answer my question first you bastard!"
"Yes... she was arranged by my family, but I didn't have any feelings for her at all. I told my family very clearly at the time, but... but I had no choice, so I ran to Shanghai. I haven't contacted my family for more than a year. I thought... the engagement was canceled a long time ago, and she had broken up with me..."
"You're talking nonsense! No contact? Sheng Da said that you asked her for the money from your milk tea shop, right? I was wondering why you were so generous at that time and could take so much from your family. Is this what you mean by breaking up completely?"
Aru choked.
After a long time, the old man's voice slowed down a lot and he explained.
"Yes, I admit that I borrowed money from her, but Brother Yang, we are innocent... I did this because I only treated her as a friend, and if the milk tea shop really went bankrupt at that time, I would not be able to explain to Shengda, I... Brother Yang, can you believe me for once? Although I was engaged to her, I have no feelings for her. I have made it clear to her just now! I will not contact her again in the future, and I will make sure to tell my family clearly this time!"
Hearing this, Lai Yang raised his head, took a long breath, and then exhaled heavily, saying: "That woman also poured water on Sheng Da, you..."
"Brother Yang, please stop talking. My heart really feels like it's been stabbed with a bloody hole... I, I feel sorry for her, ah... wuwu..."
Alu burst into tears at the head. Laiyang had heard enough crying tonight and he didn't want to hear it again, so he sighed and asked where the woman was.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving. I've made it clear, really made it clear... I'll call my family tomorrow, and our performance the day after tomorrow will be normal, everything will be normal, okay, Brother Yang, okay..."
Lai Yang rubbed his red eyes and sighed, "Come over tomorrow and tell Sheng Da that you hurt her badly this time."
"I know... I'll come over early in the morning, Brother Yang, please take good care of her for me at night. I'll come over early in the morning."
…
After hanging up the phone, Lai Yang looked up at the sky.
At this time, the sky was blocked by clouds, and no starlight could be seen. Only the hazy moon halo emitted a cool light.
It is like a jewel hidden in gauze, making it impossible to see its true appearance.
The moon is like this, and so are people!
