Kiss Rose

Chapter 31 Drunk and Charming
At the barbecue in the evening, Lu Jin couldn't stand the wind, so he stayed with them for a while and then left.

In the end, there were only four of them left under the tent.

I don’t know what happened in the past two days, but Xiao Shu and Lin Wangshu, who used to avoid Zhou Shiyan like the plague, can now eat at the same table with Zhou Shiyan, and even have a good chat with him.

Zhou Shiyan had a calm demeanor, putting away all the oppressive feeling and the filter of fear from his childhood. He was like a gentle elder.

A warm yellow light bulb was hung on the tent, illuminating this small space. Colorful lights were hung on the edge, flickering in the dark.

The river breeze is much softer at night, and on the other side of the river are thousands of lights, shining like stars.

A full moon hangs above the city, like a jade plate. Everything on the other side of the river is reflected in the water, as beautiful as a painting.

Lin Wangshu drank some beer, her face flushed, her eyes sparkling, she held up the can and happily announced her and Xiao Shu's happy event,
"An An, my dear sister, I am going to follow in your footsteps. I plan to get engaged to Xiao Shu in September, and we will get married at this time next year!"

Lin Wangshu was indeed stimulated by Jiang Qian'an. Anyway, she has reached the legal age for marriage now, and she has been with Xiao Shu for so long, so she has to get married sooner or later.

You can wear a beautiful wedding dress when you get married and openly date your loved one. Why not do it?

"Then congratulations in advance." Jiang Qian'an clinked glasses with her in the air.

Seeing Lin Wangshu happy, Jiang Qian'an felt envious but also sincerely happy for her.

She had a good alcohol tolerance, and the low alcohol content of beer could not make her drunk at all. Her clear and smiling eyes subconsciously looked at Xiao Shu's reaction, but she saw that Xiao Shu, who was usually active and nonchalant, was now unusually silent.

The smile in his eyes froze. They grew up together and knew each other too well.

Jiang Qian'an withdrew his gaze, pretended nothing happened and continued drinking.

When it was almost over, Jiang Qian helped Xiao Shu to send Lin Wangshu into the room, and finally called Xiao Shu out.

Jiang Qian'an closed the door, fearing that Lin Wangshu might hear what happened, so he took Xiao Shu directly to the balcony on the fourth floor.

Xiao Shu said nothing the whole time. His light eyelids drooped as he leaned against the railing, his hands cupped as he lit a cigarette for himself. The smoke obscured Xiao Shu's face. He passed the cigarette out in a dejected manner.
"Want it?"

Jiang Qian pushed his hand away, his eyes filled with the coolness of the night, "I gave up a long time ago, Xiao Shu, are you confused?"

After a long silence, the wind blew away the smoke, revealing Xiao Shu's clear face.

He withdrew his hand awkwardly, without any emotion, "Yes, sorry."

Jiang Qian'an frowned, angry at his attitude. She stepped forward, snatched the cigarette box from his hand and threw it on the ground, questioning,

"what happened?"

Xiao Shu stood up straight, leaned on the railing and took a deep puff of his cigarette. The scarlet smoke was soon entangled in the river breeze and disappeared.

When Jiang Qian'an's patience was about to run out, he put out the fire and spoke with a sigh,
"Lin Wang disagrees."

"How come you know he disagrees, but Wangshu doesn't?"

Lin Wang is Lin Wangshu's brother, how could he not agree?

He loves his sister so much, and seeing how much Lin Wangshu likes Xiao Shu, how could he not agree?

Xiao Shu lowered his head dejectedly, "I'm sorry."

"What's the point of saying sorry? You shouldn't say sorry to me, right? You should tell Lin Wangshu, why doesn't Lin Wang agree? What's the point of just saying sorry?"

Jiang Qi'an was so angry that he spoke without thinking and his logic was confusing.

Xiao Shu bit his back teeth, his cheeks bulged, and the last few words he uttered were "I'm sorry."

The look in his eyes was replaced by disappointment. Jiang Qian didn't want to just listen to Xiao Shu saying sorry cowardly here.

"We've been friends for so many years, Xiao Shu, I didn't expect you to be such a coward. She's looking forward to the wedding date and planning your future, but you're hiding something from her."

In the end, Jiang Qianan issued an order to chase the customer away, "Go away, I hope you won't come to her until you can solve it or make a clear decision."

The deeper the involvement, the more expectations there are, and the more heart-wrenching it is when things finally fall through.

Expectation is also a subtle form of cold violence.

Jiang Qian thought Xiao Shu would say something, until he heard the sound of a car engine outside. He was really gone.

What is it that cannot be said?
In the end what happened?
Jiang Qian'an's thoughts were in a mess. As she walked back, she realized that she had been standing in one position for too long and her legs were cold and numb.

She managed to hold onto the glass window but accidentally pushed it open. When she was about to fall to the ground, she fell into a warm embrace.

There is a pleasant warm scent of pine at the tip of the nose, mixed with the cool and refreshing scent of gardenia outside the window, which is subtle and intoxicating.

A faint voice sounded above my head, "Are your legs numb?"

Jiang Qian hummed in a muffled voice.

The next second, half of his body suddenly became empty.

Zhou Shiyan picked her up skillfully and put her on the sofa in the living room in a few steps.

"Which leg?"

"Left." Jiang Qian'an answered whatever was asked obediently.

The warm hand gently pressed on her numb leg, and the numbing feeling pricked her nerves. Jiang Qian'an's nose suddenly felt sore and tears welled up.

"Brother Shi Yan, why are some people like this?"

"how was it?"

Zhou Shiyan slowly turned his head to look at her. He took off his glasses. He must have just come out of the shower, his hair was still moist.

There was a hint of confusion between his eyebrows, and his earlobes were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.

Those beautiful phoenix eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, like the mist lingering on the river surface on a winter morning, light and very soft.

Jiang Qian'an sensed something was wrong and waved his hand in front of Zhou Shiyan.

The pair of dark brown pupils also swayed along with her hand.

Finally, she raised a finger in front of Zhou Shiyan and leaned over to ask, "Brother Shiyan, what is this?"

The latter took two seconds to react, her long eyelashes covering her eyes, and inexplicably she looked a little obedient, "One."

The truth is out, Zhou Shiyan was drunk.

She didn't expect that he couldn't drink much, no wonder he was so silent throughout the rest of the trip.

But his drunken look was just like him, impeccable.

He didn't make a big fuss, didn't fall asleep immediately, and would come to see her.

It’s a pity that she has so much to say but doesn’t know who to talk to.

Jiang Qian'an was depressed. He reached for his cell phone and thought about it. He planned to call Lin Wang to ask what was going on, but he saw that it was already past eleven o'clock.

It’s so late, it’s not nice to disturb others.

Lin Wang is too busy and has very little time to rest.

The numbness in her legs dissipated, and Zhou Shiyan was still massaging her legs with all his heart.

He took off his suit and wore a thin beige knitted sweater on his upper body, which made him look more easy-going.

Without the gold-rimmed glasses blocking his view, Zhou Shiyan's profile became even more perfect, with a straight nose, beautifully curved lips, and a perfectly revealed jawline.

Jiang Qian'an swallowed, felt the touch on his leg, and retracted his leg reflexively.

　It can be seen that everyone has gone to read the old books. Woohoo, don’t abandon the new books~~ (The author cried with a handkerchief, waved it in the distance, and shouted: Come back and read this book often~)
