Yu Nian spent more than two months in France. If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't finished her studies in China and her advisor kept urging her to go back, she would have liked to stay in France longer.
The next day, Yu Nian flew back to China. It was her mother's birthday, and she wanted to surprise her.
Yu Nian's entire family, including their nanny, received gifts that Yu Nian brought back from France. The family sat around the dinner table, enjoying a happy and harmonious time. Yes! Life at home is so joyful!
At 10 p.m., Yu Nian had just finished celebrating her mother's birthday when she received a call from Luo Sheng.
She went to the balcony to answer the phone, the cold winter wind making her feet icy cold.
"Niannian, please tell Auntie a happy birthday for me." The man's voice on the phone was very hoarse. Yu Nian glanced at the time and thought to herself: Calling at this hour is so boring.
"Okay, sure. I'll hang up if there's nothing else." After the conversation, the two seemed like strangers, and Yu Nian didn't want to talk to him any longer.
"Niannian, I broke up with Baijiu. Niannian, can you come out and keep me company?" Luo Sheng's sorrowful voice came through the phone, his words full of grievance and pleading.
"What? So sudden? Why did you break up? I'm not available right now."
She'd only been abroad for a little over two months, and they'd already broken up?
"She broke up with me, but I'm so heartbroken, Niannian." The other person spoke haltingly, as if they were drunk.
"Beep—beep—beep—"
"Hello? Luo Sheng? Luo Sheng? Where are you?"
Yu Nian was suddenly a little worried when the phone was hung up on her for no reason. With Luo Sheng's alcohol tolerance, he couldn't possibly drink more than a few glasses of wine.
Is he drunk again? I hope he doesn't get into trouble. Should we contact a liquor company to pick him up?
Yu Nian glanced at the clock, then thought for a moment and asked her friend for Baijiu's contact information.
What's frustrating is that the couple's phone numbers are unreachable; is she just a tool to clean up their messes?
Yu Nian called Luo Sheng three more times and sent a message to Bai Jiu, but received no response. She originally wanted to call Luo Sheng's childhood friend to ask him to pick her up, but the friend said that Luo Sheng was not in Nanyang.
It seems she's determined to pick up this mess again.
Yu Nian went back to her room, took out a men's coat that Luo Sheng had left at her house from the closet, wrapped herself in the coat, found her car keys in the closet, and ran to the garage to go find Luo Sheng.
When Yu Nian arrived at the tavern, Luo Sheng was already passed out drunk on the table, and his phone was dead.
If the owner of the restaurant hadn't called her, she wouldn't have known that Luo Sheng would get drunk in such a romantic place.
It must be a place where people who drink baijiu (Chinese liquor) often frequent.
"Jiu Jiu, Jiu Jiu, don't break up!" Luo Sheng mumbled drunkenly, his mouth full of baijiu.
Annoyed by his shouting, Yu Nian slapped the drunkard hard.
Luo Sheng, who was originally drunk and confused, finally opened his eyes and saw who it was.
"Niannian? It's you, Niannian? You've finally come."
"Niannian, where's my liquor? Do you know where it is? Can you help me find it, Niannian?"
Yu Nian rolled her eyes. "Baijiu, baijiu! You come back to China and immediately start cleaning up your mess. And you're drinking baijiu every day. Look, the person you like the most doesn't want you anymore. Why are you still looking for red wine and baijiu?"
Luo Sheng, you have no heart.
"Baijiu, is that you? I miss you so much."
Yu Nian was about to pull Luo Sheng up, but to her surprise, Luo Sheng, who had fainted again, suddenly hugged her.
The man held her tightly, making it hard for her to breathe. People around them watched, murmuring and seemingly criticizing the couple for showing off their affection. But what they didn't know was that the man only saw her as his first love; she wasn't the girlfriend everyone was talking about, there to pick him up.
Yu Nian tried to break free from Luo Sheng's grasp, but the man held her tighter and tighter. Helpless, she could only ask the store manager to help her carry Luo Sheng into the car.
It's funny, the first time Yu Nian and Luo Sheng hugged like this was when they mistook her for Baijiu.
Yu Nian drove Luo Sheng back to his apartment, and it was already midnight when she got home.
She hurriedly washed away the chill from her body and soon lay down on the bed.
As Yu Nian reflected on everything that had happened at the tavern that day, seeing Luo Sheng's distraught appearance, she found everything that had happened tonight somewhat amusing.
She had already chosen to give up and withdraw, yet they still broke up. It seems like she has another chance, but she really doesn't need it anymore.

"Be honest whether you love someone or not. If you are honest with me, I will be honest with you."
"I tried my best to like it, but the outcome was not up to me."
