C39 Reminiscing
Soong Qingnuan put her arm around Anne's waist, stopping her from moving around on the bar chair. She was worried that Anne would stumble and bump into her again.
Gu Qianbei's gentle breathing came into her ears, making her a lot more restless.
Soong Qingnuan didn't know why she subconsciously wanted to call this man. She only knew that he was the only person she could contact right now.
"Okay, wait for me to pick you up."
Gu Qianbei smiled, but he pretended to be calm as he replied.
His goal was clear, and he would naturally not miss the time he had spent with Soong Qingnuan. Moreover, if they became husband and wife in the future, he would naturally have to escort his future wife home now!
This was Soong Qingnuan's first reliance and request, but Gu Qianbei was secretly pleased with himself.
"There's no wine left. Qingnuan, who are you talking to? "
Anne poured the empty wine cup into her mouth and drank, but did not drink any of the liquid. She pursed her lips and put down the phone. When she turned around, she saw Soong Qingnuan's posture when she hung up the phone.
The blurry image in front of her eyes subconsciously landed on Soong Qingnuan's shoulder as she teased with a smile.
"I didn't talk to anyone. You're drunk!"
The warmth that did not belong to Soong Qingnuan made her feel uncomfortable, and her breathing became more tense. Subconsciously, she supported Anne and wanted to make her sit up straight. However, when she turned around, she saw that Anne was leaning on her shoulder and sleeping soundly.
She smiled helplessly. Ever since she was young, in order to protect herself, she rarely got close to anyone.
Now that she felt Anne's dependence, a sense of security emerged from the bottom of her heart.
A bunch of neon lights suddenly shone towards the two of them, causing Anne to rub her head against Soong Qingnuan's shoulder. She chewed the air and continued to lean on them in peace.
"A glass of boiled water."
Soong Qingnuan put her phone back in her pocket and raised her head to order a glass of water from the bartender to relieve the alcohol in her mouth.
As soon as the bartender moved away, a familiar figure was revealed in the neon light.
Soong Qingnuan was stunned. She didn't even see the plain water that the bartender had placed on the side.
In the booth, Su Chen and his friends came to have some fun. He was drinking wine, but no woman was by his side. It was like the clear stream here.
The aftereffects of the alcohol reminded Soong Qingnuan of the memories hidden deep in her alarm clock, making her vision blur a lot.
That day, Soong Qingnuan asked Su Chen out on her birthday alone.
Under Soong Qingnuan's arrangement, the two of them sat on the cable car, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountain, walking side by side across the glass bridge, wandering in the mountains and rivers.
They ate delicious mountain snacks, received friendly treatment from the original residents, and accepted the special folk customs here.
After dinner at night, Soong Qingnuan invited Sookie to take a walk along the forest path.
As they passed by a small hill, the two of them sat on a lawn that wasn't too thick, looking at the stars that filled the night sky.
"Su Chen, can I invite you to be my boyfriend now?"
As the two chatted, Soong Qingnuan liked the feeling Su Chen gave her more and more. She blurted out the confession in the next second.
On this day, Soong Qingnuan was very happy to be accompanied by Su Chen. She knew that Lin Qingyin and Su Chen had broken up, so she decided to capture Su Chen.
Now that three months had passed, Soong Qingnuan didn't believe that Su Chen had no feelings for her at all. This time, she didn't bring Su Chen out to celebrate her birthday, but to use this opportunity to cultivate her feelings.
"I hope my hard work has not been in vain!"
She blushed and looked up at the starry sky, praying in her heart. She didn't look at Su Chen, but because of the silence, even her breathing became tight.
Su Chen was stunned for a moment. The clear and cold voice that entered his ears and the cool breeze that blew over made him feel like he didn't hear anything during the journey.
He turned his head to the side to look at Soong Qingnuan. That shy face of hers pretended to be as if nothing had happened, causing him to not know how to reject her offer. Before he could look away, he met Soong Qingnuan's gaze.
"Alright."
A cool breeze blew past, and a single, shocking word was spoken.
This made both of them freeze for a moment. The corner of Soong Qingnuan's mouth raised into a smile that was rarely seen.
He had finally gotten the man he had been chasing for three months!
She sighed in her heart as she looked at the wonderful scene in front of her. Her efforts for so long had never been in vain.
The two of them lay on the grass, each of them in a different mood.
Even though Su Chen was still cold towards Soong Qingnuan, she was still satisfied. After all, any woman in love was prone to foolishness.
The next day, the two of them went from friends to lovers.
Soong Qingnuan happily got up early, then prepared to cook breakfast for Su Chen in the common kitchen.
"Su Chen? You won't open the door, but I'll open it myself and go in? "
Once she was ready, Soong Qingnuan went to Su Chen's door and knocked a few times, but no one answered. Suspicious, she twisted the handle of the door and pushed it open. When she looked around, she found that the room was empty.
She was stunned for a moment. She looked down at the carefully prepared breakfast in her hand and fished out her phone from her pocket, but couldn't find it. She hurried back to the kitchen and picked up the phone on the counter. Only then did she see the text that Su Chen had sent her ten minutes ago.
"Miss Soong, I have something urgent to attend to so I'll be leaving first. Sorry, I can't accompany you for the rest of the vacation."
"I didn't find you in your room, didn't pick up your phone, and just sent you a text message. Remember to be careful on your way home!"
The two text messages were written in such a gentleman's style, yet they were still cold and aloof. These estranged words destroyed Soong Qingnuan's passion.
She silently sighed, but she could only silently encourage herself in her heart and drive away that feeling of loss.
She returned home alone, and even after twenty-four hours, she still hadn't received a single greeting from Su Chen. It was fortunate that she was generous and took the initiative to look for Su Chen, otherwise, the two of them would not have any results.
Su Chen had been very cold to Soong Qingnuan when the two of them were together. Now that the two of them separated, he didn't even greet his friends.
Withdrawing her thoughts from her reminiscing, Soong Qingnuan poured the red wine into a goblet. Ignoring the spicy water, she calmed herself down a little.
She drank it down, but it was useless. The memory filled her brain, suffocating her, making her unable to break free. She held the empty wine cup and faintly smiled bitterly.
"Soong Qingnuan!"
Su Chen suddenly walked behind Soong Qingnuan. Just as he was about to move away, he saw Anne sitting beside Soong Qingnuan. Su Chen subconsciously called out as he was about to fall off his chair due to the random movement of his body.
Su Chen habitually looked around once he entered the bar, so he saw Soong Qingnuan's figure long ago.
He sat on the sofa, hesitating as to whether he should approach.
Under the illumination of the neon light, Su Chen and Soong Qingnuan finally met eyes with each other. However, when Su Chen felt her vision blurred, his heart skipped a beat.
His friend toasted him the next second, causing him to ignore that one second of heartbeat. He hesitated for a long time before taking action.
The familiar voice pulled Soong Qingnuan back from her memories, and the forceful force of her nerves was greatly reduced.
She took a few deep breaths and tightened her grip on the stem of the glass.
