Chapter 379 - 378 Let’s Get Divorced (10)
Ling Yunshu took a seat at the nearby booth, merely gazing at Shi Che in a dazed stupor, watching him drown in alcohol, his sorrow, and his unbearable pain over Ling Chuxia, just like that night when she hid by the door, listening to him confess his feelings to Ling Chuxia, pouring out his heart.
Indeed, she was supposed to be the leading lady of his life, yet now she was nothing more than an insignificant spectator. How could she content herself with that?
Shi Che had no idea how long he had been drinking. His consciousness grew blurrier, but the vivid image in his mind remained, refusing to be shaken off. The more he tried to forget, the more he tried to rid himself of it, the deeper and clearer the memories became, and the more painful his heart felt.
It felt as if his chest was densely pierced by fine needles, spreading pain throughout his body, limbs, and bones. It hurt so much that even breathing became difficult. He could only keep drinking, trying to numb himself with the alcohol.
In the end, Shi Che drank more frantically, faster and faster. It seemed he felt a surge of nausea and suddenly bent over. With a splash, he vomited violently, as if he was trying to expel all his internal organs.
Ling Yunshu had never seen Shi Che in such a disheveled state. Her heart clenched tightly, and she couldn’t contain herself any longer. She stood up and walked towards him.
But before she could reach him, Shi Che stopped vomiting and, with difficulty, propped himself up, then leaned back against the sofa, closing his eyes in discomfort.
Ling Yunshu’s steps paused, thinking Shi Che would continue drinking, but after closing his eyes, he didn’t move again. Ling Yunshu waited a while, and then she was certain that Shi Che was genuinely drunk.
She watched Shi Che and cautiously approached him, step by step, sitting beside him. Each movement was so gentle, so slow, as if afraid of waking him. Finally, seated beside him, smelling the strong scent of alcohol on him, Ling Yunshu’s heart began to race uncontrollably.
After three years, she could finally be so close to Shi Che again.
