It wasnât long before Yu Weiwei, who had promised not to drink too much, got drunk again.
She started lying on the table quietly looking at her glass without making a sound.
The brilliant lights shone on the transparent glass, refracting the liquor into a spectrum of colorful glows.
She just lay there in silence, not speaking.
The noisy music filled her ears, and from time to time, good-looking guys would come over and bring them snacks.
After lying there for a while, Yu Weiwei continued to drink, refilling her glass as soon as she finished one.
Following the long silence, Yu Weiwei sat up, holding her head and started to talk to Xu Chaomu.
âChaomu, do you think that handsome guy is good-looking?â Yu Weiwei pointed at a man in the dance floor.
Xu Chaomu followed her gesture and saw a man wearing a tank top, well-built and tall.

However, having seen Shen Chi so often, she thought no other men were handsome.
Xu Chaomu propped her cheek and smiled, âHeâs okay.â
âI know him, do you want to go dance with him? I can ask him for you,â Yu Weiwei looked at Xu Chaomu.
âNo need,â Xu Chaomu refused, âI canât dance.â
âOh, I forgot, youâve got a little tyke in your belly,â Yu Weiwei said with a laugh.
âChenglang, let me set you up with a beautiful ladyâ¦â Yu Weiwei then turned her attention to Nie Chenglang.
Nie Chenglang also declined, smiling, âNo need, Iâm fine just drinking.â
Yu Weiweiâs face showed defeat. With no one entertaining her notion, she stood up by herself: âThen Iâm off to dance, you guys chat.â
âWeiwei, take it easy!â Xu Chaomu said with concern.
She saw Yu Weiwei had drunk quite a bit and seemed unsteady on her feet.
âItâs fine, I havenât had that much,â Yu Weiwei headed straight for the dance floor.
Once there, the kaleidoscopic lights illuminated her, and her beautiful, delicate face was suddenly enveloped in allure.
Nie Chenglangâs brow also furrowed with worry as he asked Xu Chaomu, âIs Weiwei troubled by something?â
âProbably,â Xu Chaomu sighed helplessly, âShe just got drunk a few days agoâ¦â
âDidnât she tell you?â
âItâs as if she hasnât, I donât really understand whatâs on her mind right now,â Xu Chaomu said, feeling helpless.
She propped her cheek and watched Yu Weiwei. But being drunk might be a good thing, as it at least allowed her to temporarily forget her troubles.
âBy the way, Chenglang, how have you been?â Xu Chaomu asked.
âEverythingâs pretty good with me,â Nie Chenglang did not say much, âChaomu, was Wealth sent home last time?â
âYeah, heâs being taken care of at my place. If you miss him, just give me a call and Iâll bring him out.â
âI havenât seen him in a long time, I do miss him,â Nie Chenglang said, filled with emotion.
That little dog, they had initially seen it together on the street, and having kept it for so long, from Paris to C City, of course, they had developed deep feelings for it.
âHow about this, after we take Weiwei home, Iâll take you to see him?â Xu Chaomu offered with a smile.
âIs he at the Shen Familyâs place?â
âItâs okay, Shen Chi went to attend a wedding.â
âThen Iâll go see him.â
Nie Chenglang heaved a sigh internally. Now, he and Xu Chaomu couldnât be as close as they were before.
Yu Weiwei danced for a while, her head dripping with sweat, and truly heavily inebriated, when a handsome guy escorted her down.
âYou guys should take this miss to rest,â the handsome man said loudly.
Xu Chaomu nodded, steadying Yu Weiwei: âAlright, thank you for your trouble.â
Yu Weiwei pushed Xu Chaomu away: âIâm not drunk, I still want to dance⦠Itâs been a long time since Iâve been here⦠Iâm truly sober, Chaomuâ¦â
âAlright, Weiwei, shall we come back another time?â Xu Chaomu helped her sit down on the sofa.
âI want to drinkâ¦â Yu Weiwei pleaded pitifully as she looked at Xu Chaomu.
âLet me take you home to sleep, okay? Be good,â Xu Chaomu coaxed Yu Weiwei.
At this moment, Yu Weiweiâs face was flushed, and she squinted her eyes, looking dazed and confused.
Just then, the half-blooded owner came over.
âDid Weiwei get drunk again?â the owner said.
âNo matter how good her tolerance, she canât withstand drinking like this,â Xu Chaomu shook his head.
âEvery time she comes here, she ends up drunk, this girl has some heavy stuff on her mind,â the owner mused.
âShe⦠gets drunk every time she comes here?â Xu Chaomu asked curiously.
âYep, either she doesnât come, or sheâs definitely going to get drunk if she does,â the owner shrugged. âLuckily, she knows a kind friend like me. Every time sheâs drunk, I have to send someone to take her back. But not today, since youâre here.â
âJack⦠youâre talking nonsense againâ¦â Yu Weiwei, half-drunk, looked at the owner, âWhen have I ever gotten drunk? Every time I asked you to drink with me, youâre too much of a scaredy-cat to even take a sip.â
Jack just shrugged: âSee, I told you sheâs drunk, right?â
âWeiwei, right, he is a scaredy-cat, afraid to drink,â Xu Chaomu soothed Yu Weiwei.
The half-blooded ownerâs face was covered in metaphorical dark lines, the corner of his mouth twitching.
âI need to go to the restroomâ¦â
Yu Weiwei struggled to get up from the couch and staggered in the direction of the restroom.
âWeiwei, can you manage? Should I help you over?â Xu Chaomuâs face was full of concern.
âIâm not drunk, Iâm really not drunk,â Yu Weiwei insisted, supporting herself against the wall as she slowly moved towards the restroom.
Xu Chaomu, feeling helpless, exchanged a look with Nie Chenglang.
âLooks like Weiwei really is troubled,â Nie Chenglang remarked.
âMaybeâ¦â
Xu Chaomu looked into the colorful lights and knew that Yu Weiwei must have been thinking about Li Beiting againâ¦
In this world, only love can truly wear down the heart.
Yu Weiwei entered the restroom and locked the door behind her, and the tears she had been suppressing finally burst forthâ¦
Initially, she bowed over the edge of the sink weeping, and gradually, she crouched down, burying her head in her knees.
She cried fiercely, but with every sob, she tried her best to suppress the sound of her tears.
The tears soaked her hair and clothes, and her eyes were swollen to the size of peaches in no time.
The world outside was still filled with deafening music and cheers, but inside the restroom, it was quiet.
After crying for a long time, she felt too miserable and ended up vomiting messily by the sink.
From her pocket, she took out a ring, a dazzling, brilliantly beautiful diamond ring.
The light in the restroom was dim, but it did not detract from the ringâs splendor.
The diamond sparkled with a clear light, flawless and pure.
She opened the window of the restroom, and a breeze blew in through the pane.
Outside there was a river, under the night sky, glistening with ripples.
Forever and a day, even eternity has its end.
Love is a journey with a destination, but at that endpoint, there are no flowers, no dawn, only thornsâ¦
The cool evening wind blew through the window, lifting her long hair.
Yu Weiwei gently brushed aside the broken strands by her ear, and with heavy eyes, she stared at the depths of the river.
Is love, truly beautiful?
She didnât knowâ¦
She raised her hand, cradling the diamond ring in her palm while gazing at it intently.
