"Your leg is injured, and you're still drinking?"

Chen 輎 laughed at himself: "As the saying goes, a drunk can relieve a thousand worries. Alcohol is the best medicine to relieve worries."

"What are you worried about?"

Wenwan said jokingly: "You are young, successful in your career, and have a beautiful girlfriend who loves you by your side. What else can worry you?"

"In my opinion, you are being hypocritical."

Chen 꼎 smiled bitterly: "Please, even the emperor has his moments of worry."

"What is the emperor worried about?"

"I worry about the emperor, I worry about the court, I worry about which concubine in the harem I should sleep with at night."

Wen Wan: “…”

He glanced at the shopping bag that Chen 꼎 placed on the coffee table.

"You also bought some wine? Do you think you came here alone to drink to drown your sorrows?"

Chen 꼎 smiled but didn't explain.

Wen Wan suddenly asked, "Do you remember how many times we drank together?"

Chen was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "I remember it seemed like twice."

Wenwan shook her head.

"Once. Another time was during my most difficult time, in the house I rented."

Chen 꼎 remembered.

He touched the tip of his nose somewhat embarrassedly.

"Yes, this time."

"I want to drink." Wen Wan suddenly said, "What's the point of drinking alone? How about I have a couple of drinks with you?"

Chen was stunned. "You drank a lot tonight, didn't you?"

Wen Wan shook her head: "It's okay. I'm almost sober now. And..."

He glanced at Chen 꼎 and said, "It's okay even if you're drunk. I believe in your character."

Chen 꼎: “…”

"Sister, this is not a compliment. I would rather you don't believe me."

"Sister?"

Her gentle and beautiful brows frowned, showing the charm of a mature woman.

Chen knew he had said something wrong, so he quickly took out a can of beer from his shopping bag, opened it, and passed it over.

"Is your agent going to come over?"

Wen Wan shook her head: "No. I sneaked out alone at night, and no one knows this place."

Chen also opened a can of beer himself.

"Come on, let's drink to our reunion."

Wen Wan smiled and clinked glasses with Chen Ru, then tilted her head back and gulped down a sip.

Then he raised his hand and wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand without any manner.

Chen 꼎 was stunned: "Has your alcohol tolerance increased?"

Wen Wan said proudly: "Please. You should look at me with new eyes after not seeing me for a long time. I have been in this circle for a long time, and I have developed a good drinking capacity."

"Then I feel relieved."

Chen laughed, raised his head and took a sip.

He put down the can and looked at Wen Wan.

"Who's going to speak first?"

Wenwan adjusted her sitting position.

"Let me go first."

Next, Wen Wan recounted her experience of accidentally entering the entertainment industry.

As an inexperienced newcomer, especially a woman, she was luckier than most women in the entertainment industry.

As soon as I debuted, I met a good script and director.

This play made him famous all over the country and he became a hot new star in the film and television industry.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is a radiant and promising new star in the film and television industry, but no one knows what Wen Wan has been going through alone these days.

She worked hard and tried to earn money so that she would never go back to her previous difficult days.

After listening to Wen Wan's experience, Chen reminded her: "You should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and take proper rest. Don't just drag your body down for the sake of money, otherwise it will be worth it."

Wen Wan took a sip of beer and then looked at Chen 꼎.

"What about you?"

"Me? I've been through a lot."

Yu Chen started talking from the last time they met, when the school was closed, and briefly recounted his experiences.

After listening silently, Wenwan looked at Chen 꼎 and whispered, "To be honest, I think you look very tired?"

Chen 꼎 was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

"Not really... maybe."

Wenwan: "Maybe I should use a different word. I think you have everything now, a successful career, a happy love life, but I feel like you are very lonely."

"Lonely?" Chen 꼎 raised his eyebrows.

Wenwan nodded: "Yes. Lonely!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I can see it in your eyes."

Wen Wan said seriously: "I think there must be a place hidden in your heart that no one has touched, not even your girlfriend knows. That's why you feel lonely. It seems..."

"It's like you are running alone in the dark, unable to find your peers, confidants, or someone who can resonate with you spiritually."

Chen 꼎's heart moved slightly, and his hand took the thing on the table away without leaving any trace.

To be honest, he was shocked.

He didn't expect Wen Wan to see through his thoughts at once.

And the core of the problem.

What is the deepest secret in his heart?

Nature is reborn.

He could not tell this secret to anyone, not even his parents and girlfriend who were closest to him.

After being reborn, his career went smoothly and his love life was happy.

It can be said that in this life, Chen Rou has perfectly made up for all the regrets of his previous life.

But...no one knows that inside his body is actually a soul of over 40 years old.

In his previous life, he was a businessman who created a family business worth hundreds of billions. After his rebirth, with his foresight into the future, he started a business and ran a business, everything was so easy.

But it did not bring Chen any sense of accomplishment.

Yes, it feels like a grown-up.

It's like playing a game with cheats turned on. It might be fun at first, but after playing for a long time, you no longer have the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment of trying your best to kill the boss.

In this life, the only thing that brings Chen Rou a sense of success and happiness is his love with Su Ruchu.

He made up for his regrets and had an unforgettable foursome with Ruochu, but failed to prevent Ruochu's death...

Because of this, he should be proud and proud.

But...his soul still felt lonely.

As Wenwan just said, I feel lonely because I can’t find people like me, I can’t find a confidant, and I can’t find a challenge in life…

Among Chen Yu's friends, Su Ruochu knows and understands him best.

Many times, just from Chen 꼎's eyes or gestures, Su Ruchu could understand his thoughts and intentions.

But, Su Ruchu is only in her twenties after all. She is young, simple, and green, and still needs her own guidance and training in many things.

And what about the forty-year-old soul hidden inside Chen 꼎's body?

Su Ruchu didn't know and couldn't understand his thoughts and ideas.

Maybe in a dozen years, when Su Ruchu is in her teens and has more life experience, she will understand.

But not now.

Wenwan did all this very easily.

From the time they met to now, Chen 꼎 and Wen Wan have had drinks together four times, and each time he feels that they met too late and that it is hard to find a true friend.

Wenwan perfectly matches Chen's soul and age.

On many topics, the two of them can resonate with each other.

This is also why Chen has never regarded Wen Wan as a senior teacher, and is completely open in front of Wen Wan. He will not express some bad things or thoughts in front of Ru Chu, but will tell Wen Wan instead.

But to put it this way, Wenwan's appearance filled the missing piece of the puzzle deep in Chen Ruo's soul that Su Ruchu could not fill for the time being.

With this piece of the puzzle, Chen may have a perfect life.

Seeing Wen Wan staring at him with burning eyes, Chen 꼎's heart moved.

Do you want to accept this piece of the puzzle?
