Large tears rolled down Song Yunxi's cheeks like beads from a broken string. She bit her lip tightly, using all her strength to control herself and refuse to cry out loud.
After a long silence, she slowly spoke, "I said I'd see him alive or dead. I'll wait until he returns." Her voice was hoarse, the words seemingly squeezed from the depths of her throat, carrying unspeakable pain and unwavering resolve. Each word was heavy, like a sharp sword piercing the hearts of those around her.
Her gaze was fixed on the distance, as if searching for that vanished figure. Deep sorrow and despair were etched in her eyes. It was an endless darkness, like a bottomless abyss, from which one could sink and never escape.
Lin Yue stared blankly at the scene before her, at a loss for what to do, and even more unsure how to comfort her. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward, gently hugged Song Yunxi, and silently patted her back.
At this moment, Song Yunzheng stepped forward, grabbed Song Yunxi's hand, and led her towards the car. However, Song Yunxi forcefully shook off his hand and said firmly, "You guys go, I'm not going back tonight, I'm staying here for the night!" After saying that, her gaze was fixed on the direction they had just been, her eyes filled with determination and resentment.
She clearly saw Xu Muyao just now; she really saw him! But he ran too fast; she couldn't catch up at all...
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Yue quickly grabbed Song Yunzheng and pulled him aside. "Honey, let's stay here tonight. Look at her now, can you bear to refuse? Besides, I also want to experience the night in the ancient town. It must be very beautiful, okay?" Looking at his dark face, which was as dark as Bao Gong's, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She wondered if her coaxing would work at this moment.
After hesitating for a moment, Song Yunzheng sighed in frustration and nodded helplessly, "Alright, but you have to agree to one condition."
"Huh? That's not right. It was clearly your sister who wanted to stay, so how did it become me having to grant you a request?"
Song Yunzheng's lips twitched slightly as he stared at her with a half-smile. "No need to force yourself, we can go home anytime." He had her "kind-heartedness" under his thumb, making her willing to sacrifice her own feelings to help others.
Lin Yue glared at him fiercely and said irritably, "Fine! I agree! What are the conditions?"
Song Yunzheng smiled and said, "I haven't decided yet. I'll tell you when I've made up my mind."
"Still haven't decided? I have a feeling I've been sold out. You're not setting me up, are you?" Lin Yue frowned, looking at him with suspicion.
Seeing her so slow to realize what was happening, and her adorable, bewildered expression, Song Yunzheng couldn't help but chuckle. His expression softened slightly, like ice melting in the snow. "I'm your husband, why would I need to set a trap for you?"
Once the decision was made, Song Yunzheng quickly found the best hotel in the scenic area and checked in.
While Song Yunzheng was taking a shower, Lin Yue, like a little mouse, hid the beer and fried skewers she had secretly bought in her bosom and tiptoed out, saying, "Honey, I'm going to check on Yunxi next door."
"If you don't come back within an hour, the consequences will be severe. You'd better watch out," Song Yunzheng's warning voice came from the bathroom.
"Okay, okay! Stop nagging..." Lin Yue made a face at the bathroom and hurriedly left.
"Tap tap tap..."
"Yunxi, are you asleep?"
After a long while, the door slowly opened, and in that short time, Song Yunxi's eyes were swollen like two large walnuts. "Sister-in-law, is something the matter?"
Lin Yue was startled by her haggard face, and her worry intensified. She then waved the things in her hand and said coquettishly, "Here, can you have something to eat and drink with me? We can do it secretly. Your brother usually doesn't allow me to touch these things." After saying that, she winked her bright eyes playfully.
"Okay." Song Yunxi tugged at her dry lips.
Immediately afterwards, the two each grabbed a bottle of beer and began to gulp it down. Song Yunxi, like a daredevil, treated the beer like water, chugging bottle after bottle.
Having navigated the treacherous world of business for so many years, she had developed a high tolerance for alcohol. This amount of beer was merely a thirst quencher for her. Intending to drown her sorrows, she never expected that the more she drank, the clearer her mind would become.
"Hey, Yunxi, take it easy. Even though this isn't very strong, you don't need to drink so fast, do you?" Lin Yue quickly stopped her, pushing the fried skewers towards her as she said, "You can't just drink without eating anything. Have some skewers. This veal is delicious, and this grilled eggplant smells so good it makes my mouth water..."
Song Yunxi raised her swollen eyes and smiled at her: "Little sister-in-law, would you like to drink some baijiu?"
Lin Yue paused in her skewer-eating motion. "White? We don't have any here. The main thing is, I've never drunk it before." She used to be afraid to drink it, afraid of getting drunk, and now she's even more afraid, afraid of her husband.
Song Yunxi smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I can try it. It tastes much better than beer." As she spoke, she picked up her phone and made a call, "Hey, send me two bottles of Moutai."
"Huh? You really want to drink it?" Despite her fear, Lin Yue felt a strange sense of anticipation, like the thrill of skipping school to go to an internet cafe and being afraid of getting caught by the teacher.
Song Yunxi nodded firmly: "Of course I'll drink it. You brought wine and meat. I have a story to tell you later, how about it?"
"Great! I'll definitely be the best listener!" Lin Yue patted her chest proudly.
