Upon hearing this, Si Mingyu frowned, turned his head to look in the direction where Shen Zhi Qiu was, and then looked at Tian Tian with a puzzled expression.
Seeing this, Tian Tian began to speak:
I understand why you've come.
But I told you before, cousin, you have no chance. I advise you to give up on it as soon as possible; don't waste your time on meaningless things.
With a sullen face, Tian Tian continued, "You have to understand, from a girl's perspective, she really doesn't like being bothered. It will only make Sister Zhi Qiu dislike you and avoid you. If she liked you, she wouldn't frown every time she saw you."
"Am I really that unlikable?" Si Mingyu lowered his eyes and gave a bitter smile.
"Cousin, to be honest, you're good-looking, well-educated, and from a good family. If you change your perspective, you actually have many other options. Why do you insist on clinging to Sister Zhi Qiu?"
"I just can't let go." Si Mingyu slumped down, looking dejected and his back was hunched.
“Cousin, that’s your own business. I don’t care if you can let go or not, I really advise you not to bother Sister Zhi Qiu anymore. Because the only one who can’t let go is you, Sister Zhi Qiu has already let go.”
Tian Tian pursed her lips. She didn't want to provoke Si Mingyu any further, but seeing his stubbornness, she couldn't help but say, "It's really selfish of you to keep pestering Sister Zhi Qiu like this. You say you like her, but you always make her unhappy. Does she make you happy? Do you think she'll fall in love with you again just because you keep bothering her?"
That's impossible!
Cousin, you're such a smart person, why can't you figure it out?
Perhaps you once had a very beautiful memory.
But if you continue like this, Sister Zhi Qiu will no longer even cherish those beautiful memories from back then.
Si Mingyu didn't speak, he just kept his head down.
"Cousin, don't become the second Brother Gu."
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Tian Tian simply went straight to the heart.
"I...I didn't." Si Mingyu opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but was interrupted by Tian Tian.
“You are doing what you told me before about what Brother Gu was doing. Maybe not as extreme, but essentially the same.”
Tian Tian pointed it out without any hesitation.
Si Mingyu suddenly raised his head, his face filled with surprise, shock, and anger. Then, his face fell completely, and he shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Cousin, go back to Nancheng. Go back and start a new life. Let go of Sister Zhi Qiu. I can tell she's happy."
Her happiness no longer needs you.
Tian Tian patted Si Mingyu on the shoulder and offered some words of advice.
Si Mingyu didn't say anything, just smiled helplessly, and turned to walk outside.
Tian Tian sighed, but didn't try to persuade him further. At this moment, what Si Mingyu needed most was to be alone and think things through calmly.
After drinking several glasses, when taking a group photo with everyone, Shen Zhi Qiu began to feel the effects of the alcohol, and her face turned slightly red.
Rong Mo calmly turned away the people who came to toast him, smiling and telling them to come back later. Then he reached out and supported Shen Zhi Qiu's arm, whispering, "Have you had a little too much to drink? Go rest for a while and sober up."
“Hmm,” Shen Zhi Qiu didn’t refuse and said in a low voice, “I’ll have Lu Jia and Xiao Ran accompany me back to rest for a while.”
Zhou Xiaoran and Lu Jia also noticed something was wrong and quickly walked over.
Zhou Xiaoran took Shen Zhi Qiu from Rong Mo and led her slowly towards the lounge.
As soon as Zhou Xiaoran had Shen Zhi Qiu sit on the sofa, she said, "I'll go get a glass of honey water. Lu Jia, you stay here with Zhi Qiu for now. There are too many people around, and it's not convenient for you to go in and out."
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Ran," Lu Jia said gratefully.
Shen Zhi Qiu was a little drunk. She tried to sit up straight. Her usually bright eyes were now looking at Lu Jia with a slightly hazy expression. Her fair skin was also flushed. She frowned and began to press her temples with her hands without rhythm.
"Are you feeling a little unwell?"
Seeing her reaction, Lu Jia quickly sat down next to her, then lifted her off the sofa and leaned her on his shoulder. He looked down at her with a pained expression, gently put her hand down, and began to massage her temples.
"You shouldn't be able to drink, yet you drank so much," Lu Jia sighed.
"Hehe, I'm not drunk! I'm just happy today, such a joyous day deserves a few drinks. Don't stop me, I can still drink!"
Shen Zhi Qiu raised her hand somewhat confusedly and said with a smile.
“Usually, drunk people will say they haven’t had too much to drink!” Lu Jia smiled helplessly and said softly, stroking her long, loose hair.
"Oh, that's true. But I didn't drink too much, I can drink a lot without getting drunk."
Shen Zhi Qiu shook her head, her hair loosely draped over Lu Jia's shoulder. As if feeling uncomfortable, Shen Zhi Qiu turned around and leaned closer to Lu Jia lazily.
"Alright, alright, you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, my young lady."
Lu Jia lovingly tidied her hair to prevent it from getting pulled or tangled.
Shen Zhi Qiu's face flushed even more. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Jia tenderly. Unlike her usual independent self, Shen Zhi Qiu was like a docile kitten at this moment, making her all the more endearing.
"Hehe, Lu Jia, I've discovered that you're really good-looking."
Shen Zhi Qiu looked at Lu Jia, suddenly reached out and touched his cheek, then tilted her head, pursed her lips, closed her eyes and said, "It's just that the beard might not be cleanly shaved, it's a bit prickly."
Lu Jia was both amused and exasperated. "Alright, alright, I'll shave when I get back, so I don't prick your hand, Miss."
"That's more like it." Shen Zhi Qiu smiled with satisfaction, took Lu Jia's arm, and rested her head on his chest.
Suddenly, a loud "crack" was heard, the sound of something breaking came from the direction of the dressing room.
The sound startled Shen Zhi Qiu. She gripped Lu Jia's sleeve tightly, shrank her shoulders, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'll go check on her. It's alright, don't be afraid," Lu Jia said softly, gently holding her hand.
Shen Zhi Qiu obediently let go of her hand, her eyes somewhat dazed as she watched Lu Jia stand up and walk inside.
Lu Jia assumed the makeup artist hadn't left and was resting inside, and might have accidentally broken something, so she didn't pay much attention. She just felt it wasn't good for others to see Shen Zhi Qiu drunk, so she thought she'd go over and talk to the makeup artist.
But when he pushed open the half-closed door, he froze, and blurted out:
What are you doing here?
