1786 A Drunk Mind Speaks a Sober Heart Part Thirty-One
Xuxu was helpless and had no choice but to let her.
Zhou Shuang rested her elbows on the table and took a drink. She stared at the brown liquid in her cup, her eyes revealing a tinge of sorrow and gleaming with tears.
She thoughtfully said, “It’s been almost five years since I last drank to my heart’s content at a pub. It feels like just yesterday when I would drink until dawn and wake up in the afternoon the next day.”
She smiled.
But that was five years ago. It ended so quickly.
She often thought, how did she end up like this?
Living like a housewife, taking care of three kids every day, but ridiculously living in someone else’s home.
Xuxu became lost in her thoughts. She had been by Yan Rusheng’s side since she was of a young age, so she didn’t find it difficult to move on from her singlehood. She didn’t have much to miss from being single.
Although she couldn’t empathize with Zhou Shuang, she still could imagine.
Her heart ached for her.
Xuxu’s eyes turned red and she grabbed Zhou Shuang’s arm. She smiled and encouraged, “Isn’t it much more meaningful to spend time with the three little imps?”
Zhou Shuang smiled. “Indeed. Those three imps.”
She lifted her gla.s.s and clanked it against Xuxu’s. She put the gla.s.s to her lips and finished the last of the alcohol in her gla.s.s.
Xuxu didn’t stop herself this time. She tasted the alcohol with the tip of her tongue.
A mere lick and she already felt herself burning up.
“Shuang,” Xuxu said in a serious tone. “You do love Lu Yinan, right?”
Zhou Shuang smirked. “You’re so smart. Couldn’t you tell long ago?”
This was the first time she admitted her feelings for Lu Yinan so promptly and without hesitation. Xuxu grabbed Zhou Shuang’s arm. Probably the alcohol’s effect, her hand was burning to the touch. She stared at her and held her hand tightly.
Confused, she asked, “What’s bothering you? I can tell that Lu Yinan likes you too.”
“Really?” Zhou Shuang lifted her head to look at her. Then she looked downwards again and mocked, “Ha, what could he possibly see in me?”
Then she drank another gulp of alcohol.
Xuxu sighed. “Aish. Since he was of a young age, countless girls flocked around him. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, never once experiencing stress or pressure. He did whatever he wanted, so he probably doesn’t have the courage to put a stop to his carefree lifestyle.”
Just like her back then, where she couldn’t take the step to confess to Ah Sheng.
Because once she did it, it was irreversible.
She could understand what Lu Yinan was feeling, but she didn’t agree with his actions.
“He only wants the kids.” Zhou Shuang removed her hand out of Xuxu’s grasp and looked up sadly. She looked at all the couples in the pub.
Her eyes were filled with sorrow.
Xuxu frowned and started to become anxious. “What exactly is bothering you? The fact that you guys came together only because of the kids?”
This wasn’t the first time Zhou Shuang had said these words to her.
She said Lu Yinan only wanted the kids.
But there always has to be a reason why couples get together. Their reason was a common one.
She can’t possibly stuff the children back into her belly and find another reason to get together with him!
