I thought it was a message from Sheng Liuming, but when I opened it, I saw it was just a text message reminding me that my phone balance was insufficient.
I was in a bad mood, so I sat on the sofa with my sister and drank some wine.
"It's all my fault that Sheng Liuming has become what he is now. It's all because of me that our kind-hearted Sheng Liuming has become so cold and indifferent."
"Sister, are you drunk? He's not that kind."
Neither of them could drink much, so after drinking for a while, they started to cooperate.
Cui Zhiruo was lying on the table while her sister was lying on the sofa.
Both of them fell asleep. When Sheng Liuming approached, he smelled the smell of alcohol and noticed that there were several empty bottles of wine scattered on the table.
He sighed deeply, picked up the blanket on the sofa and covered his sister with it.
Afterwards, he slowly squatted down, knelt on one knee, moved closer to Cui Zhiruo, and spoke in a low voice in her ear.
"Sister, come into the house and sleep."
The voice was full of tenderness.
This was the first time Sheng Liuming used such a gentle tone since Cui Zhiruo came back.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Cui Zhiruo closed her eyes, as if she was talking in her sleep.
"Sister, I'll carry you into the room."
Sheng Liuming just said this lightly and picked up Cui Zhiruo.
What's going on?
A gentle embrace.
There is also a very fragrant smell, a feeling of being surrounded by flowers.
Sheng Liuming had just carefully placed Cui Zhiruo on the bed. Perhaps because the gentle feeling had been taken away and the fragrance had dissipated a little, Cui Zhiruo slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Is that Sheng Liuming?"
"I saw that your sister fell asleep on the table just now, so I carried you into the room. Go back to sleep, sister. I'm going out first."
Sheng Liuming's tone returned to his original cold one.
The moment he turned around to leave, Cui Zhiruo, who had sat up, grabbed the corner of his shirt.
Sheng Liuming turned around slowly and looked at her expressionlessly.
"Wait a minute! I need to tell you something."
Cui Zhiruo blushed and looked up at Sheng Liuming.
"Sister is drunk now, let's talk about it after you wake up tomorrow."
He tried to leave, but the corner of his clothes was still tightly grasped.
"Now... can't you say no now?"
The tone sounded slightly tearful.
“…”
Sheng Liuming didn't say anything, but turned around and sat on the bed.
Cui Zhiruo was still holding onto the corner of his clothes to prevent him from leaving if she let go.
"You said you didn't believe me, did you really mean it?"
“…”
"Because I hurt you, you might as well get mad at me. It's all my fault. I'm sorry."
"Sister did nothing wrong. After all, she had no choice at the time."
"Why is that?"
"If you really miss the past, then why haven't you sent me a single text or called me during the time you were away?" Sheng Liuming paused before continuing, "Do you know how long I've been waiting? At first, I focused on work, diverted my attention, and only thought about my fans, thinking that as long as I did that, you would contact me one day. But I waited day after day, but I still didn't get any news from you."
"Sheng Liuming..."
Cui Zhiruo listened to him speak from the bottom of his heart and unconsciously called his name.
"Then I started to worry. I wondered if you were okay, if you were sick. But wouldn't it be hard for you in a foreign country? I worried if something had happened to you and that's why you couldn't contact me. Sometimes I was so worried I couldn't even concentrate on my work, you know? Sister, you're really heartless. Even just once, even just once, I've waited for your contact for ten whole years..."
Cui Zhiruo listened to Sheng Liuming's words, slowly lowered her head and eyes, but did not loosen her hands that were holding the corner of Sheng Liuming's clothes. Instead, she tightened her grip a little more.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long."
Apart from apologizing, Cui Zhiruo didn't know what else to say to him.
"I don't want to hear you say sorry to me. Why didn't you contact me in the past ten years? What were you thinking? I want to hear your own explanation."
"Before you answer, I want to ask you a question. I know I might be overthinking it, but just in case, I hope you can tell me the truth." Cui Zhiruo raised her head. Although it felt a little impossible, she still asked under the influence of alcohol, "You don't still like me, do you?"
"Puff!" Although Sheng Liuming's pupils trembled, he laughed the next second and asked, "You don't have any princess syndrome, do you?"
"Um?"
This question made Cui Zhiruo stunned.
"Look at my face carefully. Do I look like someone who would have a crush on someone? And have had a crush on someone for so many years?"
This face is so handsome.
Like a sculpture.
"It's not quite like that."
"Can you explain it now? What happened?"
Cui Zhiruo bit her lip. "After breaking up with my boyfriend, I decided to forget him and keep my distance from you. After all, our affair had been filmed, and I was afraid it would affect your career, so I suddenly went abroad for further studies. I left without saying a word. Did it surprise you? I'm sorry, I thought it was the best choice for both of us at the time."
"It's okay. I got busy after that and a lot of things happened."
Said in a light tone.
My grandmother passed away, and all the hard work of the past ten years, in the entertainment industry where things are so complicated and can be misinterpreted and backstabbed at any time, was summed up in just one sentence.
"Yes, you are very busy. It's really amazing. I didn't expect you to become so famous."
"Thanks to someone."
"Someone?"
Sheng Liuming smiled slightly and asked, "Sister, how do you feel about studying abroad? Isn't that your dream?"
"When I first learned I was accepted, I was so happy. I felt like the happiest person in the world. It was like a dream, because I could finally study in the place I had always dreamed of. But as time went by, I felt lonely and painful, like struggling to avoid drowning in the vast ocean. Every time I feel that way, I think of you."
“…”
Sheng Liuming has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he really understands that no emotion can be seen on the face.
"Are you also burdened by other people's expectations of you? You may not believe it, but I really want to complain to you and say that I want to give up everything. I don't want to complain to you about having too much homework and being exhausted. I hope you will praise me for doing a good job."
"Then why didn't you contact me once?"
"That's because I want you to forget me quickly. I'm afraid that if I contact you, it will waver."
"I've always been curious if our company has told you anything?"
"Um?"
Cui Zhiruo's eyelids trembled a few times.
In my head, there was a voice: [I thought you were a smart person, it seems I was wrong.]
