246 From a Moment to an Eternity 7 (2/2)
Song Qingchun turned around with a confused look on her face.
Su Zhinian stood up and looked into her eyes. After a short pause, he said, ”The thing with your brother, Song Cheng, don't worry too much about it, I'll help you get to the bottom of the truth.”
Song Qingchun had not been expecting this when Su Zhinian called her. She was frozen to the spot, as if someone had pressed the pause button on her. Her relationship with Su Zhinian couldn't be considered close, so she was really surprised that he was so willing to help her.

The first drunken incident had left a deep, dark scar on her heart. The many happy moments that they had shared before that incident were completely soured from that moment onward.
Instead of saying she hated him, it was more accurate to say she didn't have the courage to face what had happened that night. It had always been her belief that if she didn't meet him anymore, she could just go on pretending the night had never happened.
