Chapter 34 (2/2)
As the elevator descended, I could feelinto a deep hole
“Is your leg ok?”, he asked me, his face devoid of any expression
“Yes”, I answered, equally stoically
“Come on, I’ll drop you home”
“There’s no need”
“ Just in case…”
“ Don’t worry I will not encounter a worse villain than you”
With these words, I bypassed him and walked towards the exit
On the translucent glass in front of hie and he stood there, watching my back as I walked away
I clenchedback towards him
I stopped when I was about two metres away from him
We stood face to face
The warh the door and dried the tears on my face
“Brother, you forgot to take off your lab coat”
With this, I opened the door and ran away, concealing ht
That night, he followed me in his car as I rode the bike all the way back home
I cycled very slowly, hoping that the road would never end, that I would have his company for ever…
In the weekend, Ye Zhengchen stayed at ho to the lab to study my bacteria I sat onto the sounds e from the room next to mine
I heard the quiet tapping of the co
“ I’ up
I couldn’t tell who had called him
At noon, Yu Yin cachen’s home
I heard her enter his house and I heard her telling hiredients to prepare spicy hot pot, including Kobe beef and imported lamb
What a warht
Even across the wall, I could feel their excessive emotions
I set dressed
I shopped a bit in Carrefour, then the neighbourhood drugstore, then in the sports shop till I was too tired to stand
At six o clock , I went to a restaurant to drinkI had often seen broken hearted people take to alcohol on TV, as if it was an anaesthesia to heartache…
I wasn’t sure if there would be any effect, but I illing to try it out
Actually, the effect was really good After a bottle of sweet and sour pluht of Yu Yin and Ye Zhengchen eating hot pot together ar hohing
Why would I ever think that Yu Yin would not spend the night with hiht!
Reht I should have another bottle of wine Atleast while drinking by the side of the road, I would not have to hear the sounds co from the other side of the wall
But this thought was no longer funny, and my eyes filled with tears
I drank till nine o clock After two bottles of wine, I was feeling ed to walk back , albeit erratically
As I walked past Ye Zhengchen’s door, I couldn’t help but look at theAgainst the green curtains, I could discern a silhouette of the two They were so close to each other their silhouettes were overlapping
What a harmonious scene!
I had never seen such a loving couple!
Using the wall to keep myself steady, I walked up t the door of my flat
But even after searching for a long ti on the floor All its contents scattered on the floor I knelt on the floor to look for the key
Finally Ithe wall for support again
The door to the flat next to chen stepped out into the corridor
He looked at me
Hastily, I squat back on the ground to pick up the scattered contents ofhim I realised that my momentary impulse was very childish If I weren’t drunk, I would never have behaved this way
“ Are you drunk?” His tone was a bit disapproving
I looked up to see the expression on his face But his face was blurry I rubbed ht blurry
Then I naively tried to fit the key in the lock
My hands were treht , I was unable to fit the key in the lock The more I failed, the more anxious I became and the more I missed the lock
Suddenly, a force shoved chen took the key from my hand and opened the door for me
“ Thank ”
Before I could finish, he dragged ed the door behind him
“Girl…”
The room was in darkness and his call to me was like a siren call to my heart
Even aed in my heart
I leaned against the wall, shrinking away froainst my heart
I was very, very drunk
“Brother, I aht with you…I can’t stand the thought…” I rubbedto ease the pain as I cried in the corner “ It hurts so much… I can’t stand the pain…”
