Chapter 1012 - Leave without Saying Goodbye (1/2)
So big.
No, precisely, extremely big.
It was the only feeling left on Jiang Chen’s fingertips.
A ray of sunshine passed through the window and sprinkled onto Jiang Chen’s eyelashes. The muscles on the corners of his eyes contracted slightly, and the eyelids that were half-closed opened. The sound of snoring stopped abruptly as Jiang Chen struggled to open his sore eyes.
There were a few birds singing outside the window. From the sun that already rose above the treetops, it was probably after ten.
He searched around him, but didn’t manage to find any clothes. The only thing he found was a piece of cloth.
“Black? This is…”
Jiang Chen discerned from his blurred sight that it seemed to be a underwear, the type that had lace…
Out of reflex, he tossed it to the side and instantly woke up.
“What the fu*k, how is this here? It’s Ayesha’s… No, last night…”
Shaking his dazed brain, Jiang Chen sat up from the bed, closed his eyes to meditate while desperately searching through his snippets of memory from last night.
As he searched further, the fragments of his memory gradually gathered like a puzzle and everything gradually became clearer.
“It was Natasha.”
His lips moved slightly as he whispered to himself. He looked around but she was not seen on the bed or on the floor.
Last night, Natasha knocked on his door, went to the kitchen for a bowl of noodles, and then took out a bottle of vodka from the fridge… These trivial things didn’t matter. Jiang Chen remembered having a few drinks with her, listening to her talk about her childhood, and then… and then both of them got drunk and he couldn’t remember who took the initiative but remember that the two finally hugged together and rolled onto the carpet. He seemed to have hurt her.
“Did I just…?” With a bitter smile, he held his head. Although he almost crossed the boundary of friendship countless time, he never thought it would end up this way.
Jiang Chen didn’t feel any awkwardness or regret. He never was the type that felt bad after crossing the boundary. The only regret was the lack of memory from last night, and she disappeared after waking up.
“This is not good, how do I say hi to her when I see her… fu*k.”
When he got out of bed, he almost slipped.
After getting dressed, Jiang Chen went to the bathroom to wash up. Now at half-past ten, there was still a little bit of time before lunch. So, he decided to eat something to fill his stomach. However, when he opened the fridge and his eyes swept across the shelf before suddenly stopping.
One, two, three, four… four?
Jiang Chen rubbed his eyes.
There were no mistakes. It was indeed four bottles.
He clearly remembered that the four bottles of vodka were from the logistics personnel in the base. He asked them to purchase the bottles for him when they went to the nearby town.
This kind of potato-brewed vodka was too spicy for his throat, and Jiang Chen didn’t like the taste of it. The reason why he put a few bottles in the fridge was mainly for Natasha who often came to steal food from him. However, there wasn’t a single bottle of vodka in the fridge, then the vodka from last night…
Finally realizing what happened, Jiang Chen slammed the fridge door and rushed to the entrance.
As expected, Natasha’s shoes were not there. Jiang Chen did not even change before rushing to the corridor and turning to the front of Natasha’s door.
“Natasha,”
He just knocked on the door once, and the door opened by itself.
Jiang Chen stopped and then stepped in.
There were two pairs of shoes missing, and the luggage next to the shoe cabinet was gone.
