Chapter 671 Drunk, she actually saw Qi Yue?
Shen Anning drove to the beach alone.
It was the sea where she and Qi Yue had their first date five years ago.
In winter, this sea area is sparsely visited, and even the hotels catering to couples experience a significant drop in business.
Shen Anning went to the front desk, wanting to book the room she and Qi Yue had stayed in together before.
The receptionist smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, ma'am, the water pipes in this room are leaking and are being repaired. Would it be alright if we arranged for you to have a room with the same features?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Anning's eyelashes trembled slightly.
It turns out that two people who are not meant to be together really will have so many "inconsistencies".
"Change it." She took out her ID and handed it to the receptionist.
...
After checking in, the receptionist handed Shen Anning her room key and ID card, and said with a smile, "Madam, our hotel is currently hosting a rooftop concert in the winter. It's on the top floor of the hotel. If you're interested, you can go up and check it out."
"Okay, thank you." Shen Anning took the ID card and room key, then turned and walked towards the elevator.
Upon arriving at her room, Shen Anning put her things down and got up to go to the balcony to look at the night view.
The neon lights of the coastal city remain romantic and dazzling.
Next door was the room she and Qi Yue had stayed in.
The wall separating them reminded her how close she was to their beautiful and sweet memories.
Despite her determination to say goodbye to the past tonight, fate still refused to grant her this ridiculous and pathetic farewell ceremony.
Forgetting is the best way to heal a person's heart.
But the person who is forgotten has nowhere to express their regret.
Shen Anning gazed at the dark sea, the waves crashing and roaring. Even this farewell felt like a one-woman show for her.
...
A large starry sky roof has been newly built on the top floor of the hotel. It is made of special profiles and explosion-proof glass and encloses the entire rooftop.
Offering warmth in winter and stargazing in summer, these features have become a major part of the hotel's entertainment offerings.
On stage, the resident male singer was holding a guitar and singing "Has Anyone Told You".
At the bar, the bartender was working hard behind the counter, mixing and matching cocktails.
There weren't many people tonight, probably because of the bad weather.
Shen Anning sat at the bar and ordered a special cocktail. She had never tried it before, but she ordered it because the name sounded very poetic.
The bartender looked at her with surprise when he heard her order this.
"Madam, are you sure you want to order this?"
Shen Anning shifted her gaze from the resident singer to the bartender. "Is there a problem?"
"This liquor is strong, and it has a powerful aftereffect."
"It's alright," Shen Anning said. "I can hold my liquor pretty well."
This is not bragging, but the best way to treat insomnia in the past five years has been half a sleeping pill plus a bottle of wine.
In these five years, it's not just Qi Yue who has changed.
Seeing her calm and confident demeanor, the bartender stopped trying to persuade her.
The wine was mixed and placed in front of Shen Anning.
Shen Anning looked at the blue and red liquid in front of her, propped her head up with one hand, and gently swirled the glass with the other. "Iceberg Afterglow, it really does look quite like it."
The bartender wiped the glass, looked at her, and made a gentlemanly gesture of "please." "Try it, and feel free to comment."
Shen Anning picked up her wine glass and took a small sip.
It tastes sweet and sour at first, but then burns with a fiery spiciness as it goes down your throat.
Shen Anning frowned slightly.
The bartender noticed this subtle expression and couldn't help but smile. "This is the strongest drink we have here. Even men might not be able to handle it. If you, ma'am, don't like it, I can make you a new one for free."
"No need," Shen Anning said with a smile. "I quite like it."
The bartender looked surprised again. "Are you sure?"
"I'm here tonight to say goodbye." Shen Anning looked at the bartender and smiled, "This drink is fitting for the occasion."
Upon hearing this, the bartender understood.
It seems she's yet another heartbroken beauty tormented by love.
Another customer placed an order, and the bartender got busy, so he stopped chatting with Shen Anning.
Shen Anning sat quietly at the bar, sipping her not-so-good specialty drink.
Every bite of sweet and sour flavor couldn't compare to the fiery spiciness that exploded in my throat.
She thought sadly that after a whole night, only this glass of wine could sum up her regretful and unfulfilled relationship with Qi Yue.
Perhaps it's because the wine is especially intoxicating when one is heartbroken.
After finishing the special cocktail, Shen Anning initially felt fine, but soon she noticed that the male singer who had been singing a ballad on stage had somehow picked up a guitar and started swaying on stage...
She jumped off the bar stool, braced herself against the bar, shook her head, blinked, and then opened her eyes wide, only to find herself hallucinating.
"I'm so drunk..."
She decided to ignore the 'hallucination' before her, looking around for her bag. "I need to get back to my room and sleep quickly. I can't get drunk here, or the black dog will snatch me away. Even if the black dog doesn't... some scoundrel will pick me up..."
He muttered to himself, blurting out everything on his mind.
She was completely unaware of it.
"Where's the bag?" Shen Anning frowned, took two steps forward, and fell into a warm and generous embrace.
The man in front of her was much taller than her. He held her slender waist with one hand, supporting her swaying body, while his other hand, with his long fingers, hooked the bag strap hanging on the back of the bar stool.
The bag was handed to Shen Anning.
Shen Anning looked at the slightly blurry bag and laughed, "My bag!"
She reached out and hugged the bag to her chest...
No, her bag isn't that big, nor is it that stiff.
Shen Anning frowned, her hands tracing back and forth around the man's waist. "My bag... why has it gotten bigger?"
Qi Yue, who was hugged and patted repeatedly: "..."
He looked down at the woman with flushed cheeks and thought to himself that she didn't seem to behave very well when drunk.
After all, she was the daughter of a family with whom he had a long-standing friendship; he couldn't just ignore her.
Qi Yue sighed helplessly, bent down and picked up the woman who was completely drunk.
Shen Anning felt a sudden dizziness. Her gaze swept across the stage and she saw the male singer holding a guitar and singing "Let's Rock Together".
She thought, "This singer's style is really polarized!"
Once inside the elevator, Qi Yue asked her, "Do you live here?"
"Hmm?" Shen Anning frowned, staring at Qi Yue's face, her reaction somewhat slow. "This wine really has a strong aftereffect..."
She actually saw Qi Yue!
"Shen Anning?"
"Yes!" Shen Anning suddenly raised her hand. "I'm here!"
Qi Yue looked at the woman, who was completely different after getting drunk, and raised his dark eyebrows slightly. "Which floor do you live on?"
Shen Anning looked at him and reached out to touch his face. "Why should I tell you? We're not even close!"
Hmph, you dare to forget her, and now you have the nerve to ask her where she lives!
You stinking man, you big jerk!
Shen Anning was drunk, completely drunk.
But she would still be very obedient when facing Qi Yue.
Even if it was just an illusion, she couldn't bear to upset him now.
Listen to Qi Yue and don't hurt him.
She felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Qi Yue asked her where she lived for the third time in a stern tone, and she answered the room number without hesitation.
When Qi Yue reached the door of that room, he saw a malfunction sign hanging on the door.
Qi Yue was completely speechless and could only rummage through her bag.
I took out my room key and saw that it was right next door.
She probably misremembered.
Qi Yue sighed inwardly and opened the door with his room card.
After placing the person on the bed, Qi Yue looked at Shen Anning, who was lying on the bed, completely drunk and unconscious. He pursed his lips and frowned slightly.
She's so drunk, it's not appropriate to leave her here alone.
Qi Yue thought for a moment, then went outside to the balcony, took out his phone, and opened his contacts.
He thought he should call Fu Nian'an.
But he and Fu Nian'an have had very little contact over the years. He clicked to search in his contacts, and just as he typed "Fu", the glass door behind him suddenly opened.
Qi Yue turned around at the sound and saw Shen Anning rushing towards him—
He was caught off guard by the sudden attack, and his phone fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
He staggered back a few steps and fell onto the sofa behind him.
Still in shock, two lips, fragrant with the scent of wine, sealed his lips.
Qi Yue was stunned!
