"When you were young, you were much happier than when I was young.”
Song Ziwei, who was lying down, said softly, as if he was whispering to the clouds in the sky.
Su Yanle held the beer and waited for him to continue.
"After I was nine years old, my life became dark.”
Su Yanle looked at him, at his open and closed lips, and at the hair on his forehead that was slightly blown by Feng.
"Before I was nine years old, I had a younger brother who was five years younger than me. He was a little fatty with curly hair and was very likable. From the moment he was born, I naturally became the big brother. Taking care of him seemed to be my responsibility. He also trusted me very much and wanted to stick to me no matter what he did.”
He took a deep breath.
"But when I was nine, he died.”
He smiled bitterly as he spoke.
"Maybe it's a joke from the heavens. The day he died happened to be my birthday. That was the most tragic birthday I've ever had.”
"That day, after eating cake at home, he insisted that I take him out to buy ice cream. Then, right in front of me, there was a car accident. It was already evening at that time, and there were no cars on the road at all. I actually let him run across the road, and in the end..."
He frowned deeply.
"That bastard didn't say a word. He just looked at the car coldly and drove away. Even now, I still remember those eyes. They were as cold as ghosts.”
He let out a long sigh, as if every word he said was like a knife cutting through his body.
"I haven't celebrated my birthday since then. From then on, Yang Jing never looked at me again. I knew she hated me, and I hated myself for letting such a thing happen.”
His voice trembled as he spoke.
Su Yanle quickly crawled over and sat next to him. She gently stroked his hair.
She suddenly felt that Song Ziwei, who was usually strong and determined, was like a helpless child at this moment.
"From then on, everything changed. The atmosphere at home changed, and so did the relationship between my parents. Yang Jing's personality became very cold, and my father's health deteriorated because of his heart disease. He was sick for two years and passed away.”
He continued, his tone a little calmer.
After saying this, he looked up at her face, as if this was the only way he could have the courage to continue.
"From then on, only Yang Jing and I were left.”
He held the wine glass tightly with one hand and Su Yanle's hand tightly with the other.
"From then on, I was alone and helpless.”
Su Yanle looked at him and listened to his last word carefully. Then, she gently covered his mouth with her hand.
"Alright, I know."
she said softly.
"It must have been tiring all these years. If you're still tired in the future, come here. I'll give you my territory.”
she said with a smile.
Song Ziwei looked at her and smiled foolishly.
He also wanted to be an idiot who could make him happy every day in a place where no one knew.
The words he had just said seemed to have disappeared in the wind. For a few seconds, it was as if they no longer existed in his memory.
He let out a long sigh of relief.
"I've never told anyone about this.”
He looked at Su Yanle and said.
"Then I should feel honored."
Su Yanle imitated his previous smile and said.
Song Ziwei looked at her and laughed again.
How good was he like this? He was incomparably relaxed and contented. It was as if he could laugh when a gust of wind blew.
Why did he have to think about the open and secret struggles in the business world? Why did he have to think about Zhang Yiwen?
When he thought of this, his smile suddenly stopped.
Su Yanle looked at him. Strangely, she seemed to be able to read his mind.
"Actually, I really understand how you feel right now.”
She tried her best to speak in a relaxed manner, hoping that the depressed Song Ziwei could relax a little.
"After Zhang Yiwen appeared, you felt that you were no longer alone, right? You feel that someone finally understands you, someone finally loves you, and you love her back. That feeling might be wonderful and beautiful. At the very least, it makes you feel extremely safe, right?”
She paused for a moment and looked down at Song Ziwei's surprised expression.
"But now, you suddenly feel that she's leaving again, and you're going back to being alone again, right?”
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and looked at Song Ziwei quietly.
Song Ziwei suddenly smiled. It was a big smile that came from the bottom of his heart.
He wanted to shout at her. Yes, this was the feeling.
But he couldn't.
He felt that everything around him was blurry. Everything was spinning, as if he was dancing a ballroom dance that could never stop. He could only keep spinning. After spinning for a long time, he could no longer feel himself spinning. It felt like the world was spinning.
He fell deeper and deeper into his daze.
He could not see his surroundings clearly, but he could clearly feel a gentle light in front of him.
It was like the most beautiful light in the world.
He reached out and touched the light. It seemed to tremble a little, but it still shone down gently.
He opened his mouth, but his voice seemed to be drowned out by the surrounding blurriness. He did not realize what he had said at all.
Usually, he could drink one glass after another at the wine table. How could he get drunk with just a few cans of beer today? He was so drunk.
He closed his eyes.
Su Yanle was still sitting there in a daze.
He looked at Song Ziwei, who was sleeping beside him.
She would probably never forget the scene just now.
She recalled what had just happened.
She remembered Song Ziwei smiling at her when she had just finished speaking.
It was a smile that she had never seen before. It was a big, warm smile. She was very surprised, as if she thought that kind of smile would never appear on Song Ziwei's face.
She remembered that she was smiling at him too.
She remembered that he had suddenly reached out and caressed her cheek.
His hand was very hot. It was even hotter than when he grabbed her hand at the banquet.
She remembered how he was smiling at her, his eyes a little dazed.
She remembered that he opened his mouth and made a faint sound. It mixed with the chirping of the birds around him, so subtle that it was almost undetectable.
However, she heard it clearly.
"You're really amazing."
he said.
She felt her eyelids droop heavily.
He was probably drunk too. So this was what it felt like to be drunk. It was like falling into a rainforest of cotton candy. It was soft, warm, and had a sweet fragrance.
She tried her best to keep her eyelids open, but she could not help but let them close.
When she woke up again, would she forget what had just happened?
Wasn't that how it was on TV? One would forget everything after getting drunk.
She thought.
If there was a choice.
Then she wanted to remember it, always remember it.
Su Yanle also closed her eyes and lay down beside Song Ziwei. She felt as if she had fallen into a piece of soft silk. Her body seemed to have become soft, and she fell into a sweet, drunken sleep.
When Su Yanle woke up again, she looked around and was a little confused.
She thought that she would wake up in her bed at home.
The sky was completely dark, but they could still see their surroundings with the help of the moonlight. They were still on the water tower.
Song Ziwei was sitting in front of her with his back facing her.
When did he wake up?
As she thought about it, she took out her phone to check the time.
8:15.
It turned out that they hadn't slept for long.
Su Yanle sat up, and the clothes covering her fell off. It was Song Ziwei's jacket.
Did he help her cover it up?
She looked at the neatly folded jacket that had slipped onto her lap.
The wind that was blowing upwards was already cold and wet. When it blew past her shoulders, she could not help but shiver. She quickly put her coat over her shoulders again.
"Aren't you cold?"
She shouted at Song Ziwei, who was sitting in front and wearing only a short-sleeved shirt.
"Yeah, it's alright."
He heard the voice and turned around.
"When did you wake up?"
She continued to ask softly.
"Oh... I just woke up not long ago."
He answered her with an uneasy tone.
Su Yanle immediately sensed the awkwardness in the air and didn't say anything else.#
