Chapter 119: A Drunk Apology
"How do the six o'clock group get back? (French)" This time it was Song Lehan who asked.
Staff: "Someone will take everyone back by boat. (French)"
Song Lehan: "Then let's choose to join everyone at 6 o'clock. After all, it's too tiring to row back. (French)"
The staff member smiled, gestured "OK", turned around and rowed away.
Xu Jiangcuo led Song Lehan forward, passing through the "Love Path," and saw an open-air restaurant, propped up by several large umbrellas of different colors, with tables and chairs of various colors arranged on it.
It’s like entering a fairy tale world.
Song Lehan had never seen such decorations before, and even such a scene was beyond her imagination.
"Let's go and take a look." Xu Jiangcuo pulled her in.
The two found a seat in a corner and sat facing each other.
As soon as we sat down, a waiter came over and handed us the menu.
"Hello, welcome. This is our menu. You can take a look at what you need. (English)" The waiter spoke standard English, and he must have learned English specially.
The menu is thoughtfully labeled in three languages: French, English, and Chinese.
"Wow, there's Chinese here." Song Lehan felt that this store was really attentive and had a very good first impression.
Xu Jiangcuo nodded, looked up and asked her, "What do you want to eat? It's my treat."
"Can you afford it?" Song Lehan warned without hesitation, "If I order two of the most expensive dishes, most of your money will be gone."
Xu Jiangcuo smiled and said, "If it's gone, then it's gone. It's not like I'm spending it on someone else."
What this means is that Song Lehan is not someone else, but one of us.
Song Lehan thought nothing of it when she first said it, but after a few seconds, she came to her senses and her cheeks gradually turned a shade of pink.
She held the menu upright, covering her blushing face.
"Xu Jiangcuo, I don't want to bother with you anymore."
Xu Jiangcuo curled his lips and asked, "Then how can you pay attention to me?"
"I'm ignoring you anyway." Song Lehan muttered, turning his attention to the menu.
With the waiter around, she didn't want anyone to misunderstand their relationship.
"I want a Linglong July steak, a milk vegetable salad, and um... a cup of Sweet Words. (English)" Song Lehan quickly ordered his own portion.
Seeing this, Xu Jiangcuo also ordered a few at random.
"Okay, please wait a moment, the dishes will be prepared soon. (English)" The waiter left.
Song Lehan took the menu and looked around boredly. He found a lot of lounge chairs on the beach, probably prepared for tourists. He just finished his meal and went to lie down and rest for a while.
"Look, if I hadn't suggested coming over to take a look, would you have missed such a great place?" Xu Jiangcuo spoke up to bring her back to her senses.
Song Lehan curled his lips at him and said, "Okay, okay, you are the wisest."
"It's good that you know it, no need to say it out loud." Xu Jiangcuo started like this again.
Song Lehan didn't know why. She was almost 30, but why did she still act like a college student?
It's not okay to be so arrogant.
"Who did you learn this from?" Song Lehan suddenly asked him.
Xu Jiangcuo reacted and asked with a smile: "How is it? Do you like what you learned?"
Song Lehan shook his head directly, "Not like you anymore."
"Hmm? What am I like in your eyes?" he asked.
In fact, Xu Jiangcuo had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
What kind of image did he have in Song Lehan's eyes? And did she ever like him?
Xu Jiangcuo had already confirmed the latter. During the time they lived together in the snowy area, everything Song Lehan did to him showed her affection.
Maybe she liked him at that time, but now, he felt confused again.
Maybe I still like it, but it has been diluted by other things.
So, now he wants to know more about how she sees him.
Song Lehan was stumped by this question and suddenly didn't know what to say or how to say it.
The waiter came over with the drinks, placed them in front of the two of them, then turned and left.
Song Lehan lowered his head, holding the drink in his hand.
"Don't you know what to say?" Xu Jiangcuo's lips were still curled with a smile, but not as calmly as before. He licked his lips and said jokingly, "It doesn't matter. It's just the two of us now. The cameraman has gone to eat. You can say whatever you want. I won't be angry."
There were only the two of them here, and he didn't want Song Lehan to give him an answer that was too cautious.
The wait for the answer didn't last long.
Song Lehan took a big sip of the sweet words, thought carefully for a while, and then said: "I know you, but I also... don't know you very well."
Hearing the voice, Xu Jiangcuo raised his eyebrows and looked across at her, waiting for her next words.
Song Lehan took another sip and continued, "I know you can be really mean when you're angry, but I also know you're actually pretty naive and easy to fool. I know what you like to eat, what you hate, and I also know you actually... love me very much."
"But I don't understand. For example, I only found out about your family later. And your dreams, your plans for the future, your inner world... I don't know any of that."
"For example, what you said to me today was very tempting, I admit. But... I just don't think it's the you I knew before."
As she spoke, she took another sip of sweet talk and began to talk more.
"That's true, actually. After all these years, I'm no longer the Song Lehan I used to be. It's only natural that you've become like this. No, it's only natural that you can become like this."
"Looking back, I'm actually quite sorry for you. I always feel like I deceived you and hurt you. I'm really sorry. I also feel sorry for how I treated you later."
Song Lehan's words started to become incoherent.
Sensing something was wrong, Xu Jiangcuo flipped through the menu and found Sweet Words, which showed the alcohol content of the liquor!
When he looked up again, Song Lehan had already drunk most of the cup of Sweet Words.
Good job!
I haven’t even eaten yet and I’m already drunk!
Xu Jiangcuo quickly stopped her from drinking again, "Don't drink anymore, you'll really pass out if you drink any more!"
Song Lehan put down the cup obediently and said stubbornly, "I'm not drunk."
"Well, you are not drunk." Xu Jiangcuo stared at her flushed face, lowered his head and smiled secretly.
Seeing him laughing, Song Lehan pursed his lips and asked vaguely, "What are you laughing at?"
"You're so cute when you smile." Xu Jiangcuo praised her. Seeing that her body was a little unstable, he was afraid that she would fall down suddenly, so he moved the chair and sat next to her.
As soon as he sat down, Song Lehan reached out and held his arm, pressing his whole body against him.
"Xu Jiangcuo, I'm so sorry."
Even when she was drunk, she still wanted to apologize to Xu Jiangcuo.
Xu Jiangcuo touched her head comfortingly and told her in a gentle voice: "Don't be sorry."
