Marriage First, True Love Later - Chapter 205

205 Crying after drinking

When Zhou han came back, Lin Li was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room. There was an open bottle of red wine on the low table in front of her. Half of the bottle had been drunk. At this moment, Lin Li was half-lying on the sofa with a glass of wine in her hand. There was still half a glass left.

Zhou han changed his shoes and came in. He placed the keys and briefcase in his hands on the sofa at the side. He looked at the wine on the table and then at Lin Li, who was half lying down. He frowned slightly and asked, ” “Why did you drink?” His tone was a little cold, but it was Zhou Han’s unique way of caring for others.

Lin Li slowly turned her head to look at him. After staring at him for a while, she suddenly smiled and said, ” they say that I can drown my sorrows in alcohol. I thought that I could really forget those unhappy memories after drinking, but why do I remember those unhappy things more clearly the more I drink? ” As she said this, Lin Li’s face was a little bitter and aggrieved. I thought that drinking wine could make me happy, but the more I drink, the more unhappy I become.

!!
Zhou han looked at her and said coldly, ” “Then don’t drink it.” He reached out to take the cup from her hand.

Lin Li dodged and shook her head. no, no, I still want to drink. I won’t remember if I get drunk. As she said that, she raised her glass and drank the wine in one gulp. The smell of alcohol rushed up and made her frown. Her brows were so tightly knitted that they could almost kill a mosquito.

Looking at her, Zhou Han’s brows were also tightly furrowed. After a while, he asked, ” “What happened?”

Lin Li didn’t look at him, and he didn’t know if she was drunk or not. She just shook her head and said with a smile, ” “I’m fine. Nothing happened.” As she said that, she reached out to grab the red wine bottle on the low table. Just as her hand was about to reach it, Zhou han suddenly grabbed it.

Lin Li raised her head to look at him in dissatisfaction, and with a strong smell of alcohol, she protested, ” “I still want to drink more!”

Zhou han looked back at her and his eyes were a little threatening. He only said, ” “You’re drunk!”

“I didn’t!” Lin Li shook her head and denied his deduction. She continued, ” I’m not drunk. I want to get drunk too, but I’m still sober. I’m not drunk. As she spoke, she stood up and reached out to snatch the wine from Zhou Han’s hand.

Zhou han turned sideways to avoid her and asked tentatively, ” Something happened to Gu Anran and su Yicheng? ”

“No, they’re very close.” Lin Li denied it and reached out for the wine in his hand. give me the wine.

“Is it related to Chengxiang?” Zhou han dodged and asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Li suddenly paused. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on the robot and it was frozen in place.

Zhou han, who was at the side, understood everything when he saw this. He stuffed the wine in his hand into her hand and said, ” it seems that you’re really not drunk. If you really want to get drunk, then drink it. I have some tea to relieve your headache tomorrow.

Lin Li slowly came back to her senses. She looked at the wine in her hand and then at Zhou han, who was standing in front of her. After a while, she asked, ” “Why …”

Zhou han looked at her and finished her sentence, ” “Why would I know?”

Lin Li nodded and looked at him steadily.

Zhou han smiled and sat down on the sofa opposite her. He only said, ” how hard can it be for you to guess? if it wasn’t for Gu Anran’s incident, who else could have done this to you other than Chengxiang? ”

Lin Li stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed at herself. She sat on the ground with the bottle of wine in her hand, her shoulders shuddering. She was crying and laughing. hehe …

Zhou han didn’t say anything and just looked at her. He didn’t go up to help her up.

Lin Li laughed bitterly for a long time. Suddenly, she grabbed the bottle of red wine, dropped the glass, and directly raised her head to pour the wine into her mouth.

The dark red liquid flowed down from the corner of her mouth and dripped onto her pure white shirt, creating a large dark red patch, just like the blooming plum flowers.

cough, cough … Lin Li drank too quickly and choked on the wine. It went straight into her nose and she coughed uncomfortably, her face turning red.

Zhou han just sat there and looked at her indifferently. He didn’t stop or comfort her.

Lin Li coughed for a while before finally stopping. Her throat was burning from the violent coughs. Holding the cup, Lin Li suddenly cried. It was unknown if it was because of the uncomfortable coughs or something else.

She threw the bottle of red wine to the side in a fit of pique, then bent her legs and hugged her knees as she concentrated on crying. She didn’t care where the red wine was poured out and stained the beige, custom-made, high-class carpet on the ground red.

Lin Li was crying very sadly and very attentively. She hugged her knees and buried her head in them, making muffled sounds. However, from the low muffled muffled sounds, one could tell how depressed she was crying, and how heart-wrenching it was to be seen by others.

Zhou han finally moved. He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. However, he didn’t say anything and just hugged her tightly. Feeling his embrace, Lin Li no longer hugged her shoulders. She reached out and hugged Zhou Han’s thin waist instead. Then, she cried out loudly, crying out all the grievances that she had hidden in her heart all this time.

Lin Li didn’t know how long she had been crying like this for. It was only when her eyes were a little sore from crying that she finally stopped crying and changed to a soft sob.

After sobbing like this for a while, Lin Li reached out and slowly pushed him away. Seeing the suit jacket on his chest that had become a little too horrible to look at because of her tears, Lin Li felt a little guilty and embarrassed. She said in a low voice, ” “I’m sorry,” she said.

Zhou han lowered his head and looked at his chest, which was a blur with tears and snot. He took off his coat and put it aside, asking in a low voice, ” “Do you still want to cry? I can lend you my shoulder for free.”

Lin Li shook her head and said in a low voice, ” “I can’t cry anymore.”

Hearing this, Zhou Han’s lips curled up.

The two of them sat on the ground for a long time without speaking.

She didn’t know if it was because she was too tired recently or because too many things had happened today, but Lin Li’s leg suddenly cramped up while sitting. It was so painful that she cried out, ” ah … Ah … she bent down and reached out to press her leg, but it was so painful that she couldn’t bend over at all.

When Zhou han saw this, he pulled her leg and lifted it in the air. He reached out and quickly patted her calf. After a while, Lin Li’s cramp slowly receded.

Seeing her expression relax, Zhou han asked, ” “Are you feeling better?”

Lin Li nodded and stared at her calf. After a while, she said, ” “He used to Pat me like this when I had cramps.”

Zhou han raised his head and looked at her. He knew that the ‘him’ she was referring to was Chengxiang. He frowned and asked, ” “Is he that difficult for you to let go of?”

Lin Li didn’t look at him. She just shook her head and said, ” “I can let it go.”

Zhou han looked at her unhappily and said, ” “Can you put down so much wine?”

Lin Li turned to look at him and stared at him for a long time before asking, ” “What did Ling LAN do to make him fall in love with her?”

Hearing this, Zhou han was stunned. He looked at her in a daze but didn’t say anything for a long time.

Lin Li didn’t seem to be expecting his answer. She turned her head to look at the French window in front of her and slowly said, ” I fell in love with him at first sight. From the first time I saw him, I told myself that he was the Prince Charming I found in my heart. He was gentle like jade and gentlemanly. “I was the one who pursued him. I didn’t care what other people thought of me and confessed to him. Regardless of the occasion or location, he rejected me the first time, the second time, the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, and so on. Without any surprise, he rejected me all the time. The reason was that our personalities weren’t compatible. Almost everyone in the school knew that I was pursuing him. At the same time, everyone in the school knew that I had been rejected by him countless times. Everyone looked at me as if I was a joke. Many students also advised me to give up and not persist, but I refused to admit defeat. I felt that the fact that my personality was not suitable for him was not a reason, even if I had to change for him. I went to the places he often went to find him: the library, the basketball court, the classroom, and on the way back to the dormitory. I created all the opportunities for my so-called love. In the end, I didn’t know how many times I confessed and he unexpectedly agreed. I still remember how happy I was at that time, but I ignored his expression at that time. Thinking back today, I only remembered how helpless he looked at that time. Even the smile on his face was forced, but I didn’t notice it at that time. I may not be smart, but I’m not so stupid that I can’t tell if he really loves me or not. He thought he hid it very well, he thought I didn’t know, but he was the one who didn’t know. He actually hugged me in bed and called another woman’s name, and more than once.” As Lin Li spoke, the expression on her face was indifferent, but the tears in her eyes were uncontrollably flowing.

Zhou han just listened quietly and didn’t say a word.

Reaching out to wipe the tears on her face, Lin Li pulled the corners of her mouth and continued, ” I just said that I’m not stupid, but now that I think about it, I’m really stupid. I know that he doesn’t love me, but I naively think that time can change everything, that time can let me slowly replace the shadow in his heart. But how can I forget that he loves me so deeply? the person he loves isn’t me, it’s always the person in his heart. So, no matter if I spend ten or twenty years, I’ll still fail.

He turned to look at Zhou han and continued after a while, ” “Today, he came to look for me and said that he loved me and that he couldn’t live without me. However, Xiaoxiao appeared later on. Xiaoxiao hugged his waist tightly and he was pulled back. His expression was very painful. Back then, I also hugged him very tightly, but I couldn’t hold him no matter what. I knew that it wasn’t that he couldn’t push Xiaoxiao away. He just couldn’t bear to do it.” With that, Lin Li smiled and looked at the wine glass on the low table. She reached out and gently touched the mouth of the glass, whispering to herself, ” “I won’t love him anymore, really!”

Zhou han followed her gaze and also stared at the cup. After a while, when he was still in a daze, he saw Lin Li turn around and look at him. She said firmly, ” “Zhou han, do you still mean what you said back then?”

Zhou han came back to his senses and asked with a frown, ” “What did he say?”

“Turn a fake act into reality.” Lin Li looked at him with a determined and serious expression.

Zhou han also stared at her. what are you doing? ”

He heard Lin Li say,”make love.”
