274 The Deep Kiss in the Deep Water 5 (1/2)

Su Zhinian had half a mind to leave, but he couldn't leave Song Qingchun behind on her own. He couldn't be certain Song Qingchun would come into any danger that night, if anything, she would probably be safe, considering the number of the people at the party. It would definitely draw attention if someone was to make an attempt on her life. However, he wasn't a hundred percent certain, so in the end, he chose to stay.

However, he didn't join the party but stayed in his car.

He could hear many things in his ears, but he didn't focus on any of them as the conversations between Qin Yinan and Song Qingchun repeated themselves in his mind.

Furthermore, didn't you promise you'll always be my Brother Yinan?

Always… a beautiful adverb that shredded his heart into pieces. He knew, he was being jealous, jealous that she had made a promise that would last always.

He, too, wished he could always be by her side, but he knew perfectly well that was not meant to be; he would be the first to deny himself that wondrous dream.

However, even though he knew why it was not meant to be, his brain couldn't stop the desire of his heart. In the match between rationality and emotion, the latter won out. He couldn't help himself from being jealous of her relationship with other men and couldn't help himself from feeling happy when she was kind enough to be good to him.

This was like a cruel joke God had played on him. It was a question with no correct answer, and it would only make him sink deeper and deeper into the abyss of despair.

Su Zhinian sat quietly in the car, and bitter anguish crept onto his handsome face. He lost count of time as he stewed in his own misery until his phone started to ring.

”The world was ours; yet with a turn of the shoulders, we have become strangers.”

His ringtone was a song sung by a rising male singer. His tone was soft and gentle, and Su Zhinian felt it was another generic love song when he first heard it.

”The person hiding in my memories, I pray for your happiness and safety…”

When he heard this sentence, his brows twitched.
