On a small table in the courtyard, a bottle of red wine was opened, and the remaining half-bottle was picked up and poured into a wine glass.
Listening to the music, Qin Xiyao, whose face was slightly flushed, did not notice Luo Chen's presence, and seemed not to hear even his thoughts.
Looking up slightly at the moon in the sky, the moon wasn't particularly beautiful tonight. Without the company of the stars, a sense of loneliness suddenly arose within it.
It seems like she's the same.
Alone in solitude...
A sound of footsteps gradually approached.
Qin Xiyao didn't look up, as if she already knew who was coming.
"Xi Yao, you... are you still drinking?"
Lu Wanqing walked over wearing pajamas, her slightly damp long hair draped behind her head, clearly having taken a shower earlier.
She was at home with her parents when she suddenly received a call from Qin Xiyao, and came over without thinking.
Sensing Qin Xiyao's disappointment and inexplicable grievance, Lu Wanqing couldn't just ignore it. After informing her family, she stayed overnight to keep Qin Xiyao company.
Otherwise, it would be very helpless to want to confide in someone but find that there is no one to listen.
Lu Wanqing was well aware of this feeling.
"Don't worry, it's just red wine, you won't get drunk."
Qin Xiyao swirled her wine glass, her eyes glazed over, her face slightly flushed. It was hard to believe she was saying such things. If it weren't nighttime and the moonlight wasn't so bright, her face would have looked even more rosy.
Lu Wanqing pursed her lips slightly, then sat down next to Qin Xiyao. Seeing that Qin Xiyao seemed preoccupied, she opened her mouth slightly, but hesitated, wondering whether she should ask at this moment.
"Wanqing, do you think the night view is beautiful tonight?"
Moonlight?
Lu Wanqing looked up in confusion, her brows furrowing slightly. Although she didn't quite understand why she was suddenly saying this, she was certain that the moonlight tonight wasn't very beautiful.
I always feel somewhat lonely.
"It looks like it's not going to look good."
Qin Xiyao put down the empty wine glass.
His slightly tipsy eyes fell on Lu Wanqing, his gaze slowly taking in her.
"Xi...Xi Yao, is there something on my face?"
Being stared at so intently by Qin Xiyao would make even a woman feel shy.
Qin Xiyao tilted her head slightly, then rested one hand on the table, propped her chin on her hand, and continued to examine the table, saying, "I'm just a little curious..."
"curious?"
Lu Wanqing blinked in confusion, clearly not understanding what she meant.
"Yes, it's just curiosity."
Qin Xiyao murmured the same thing over and over again, then said with a hint of disappointment, "I'm curious about your relationship, and I'm also curious why I met him first, but he went to you first, even though..."
At this point, Qin Xiyao suddenly couldn't continue, as if saying anything more would only affect her mood, making people feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Lu Wanqing didn't know how to respond. She remained silent, pondering the meaning of those words, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
Because it always felt out of place.
In her mind, Qin Xiyao seemed to have never cared about these things, nor did she care about Luo Chen. Their relationship was neither good nor bad.
There will be no contact at all if there is no need for physical contact.
But why tonight?
Why would you suddenly say that...?
Could it be... that Qin Xiyao has always cared about this?
Lu Wanqing was quite shocked by this sudden guess.
But Qin Xiyao didn't continue speaking. Instead, she poured another glass of red wine into the air conditioner's wine glass.
Qin Xiyao thought the topic was over, but the music playing on repeat on her phone prompted her to continue.
"Wanqing, do you... like Luo Chen?"
"!!!"
"Don't be surprised. Actually, I figured it out a long time ago, especially when you sang this song on The Strongest Singer and looked around. I was already pretty sure that you... like Luo Chen."
The sixth sense is a magical thing; sometimes it can foresee future events. Many people dream at night about their partner's sudden betrayal. Although it is just a dream, it feels excessively real.
But people can choose to believe or not to believe; the two paths diverge, and they will have two different destinies.
If you don't believe it, you won't be able to accept such a fact if it really happens.
But if you believe it, at least you've prepared yourself mentally, so even if it actually happens in front of you, you won't be too sad, because you've already been sad for a while.
With the help of a sixth sense and intuition, one can sense things through certain details.
At first, Qin Xiyao chose not to believe it, after all, in all the things she knew, there didn't seem to be a deep relationship between Luo Chen and Lu Wanqing.
Even if Luo Chen's help might make the helpless person feel good about him, isn't it a bit too fast to talk about feelings?
But that's the truth; you can fall for someone really quickly.
[...]
Lu Wanqing's face turned red, and her body trembled slightly. Qin Xiyao's words made her feel as if she had done something shameful.
She had never told anyone about this, not even her own family. She always denied it and wouldn't admit it. Even when she paid attention to Luo Chen, she didn't do it openly; she was very restrained and kept it a secret.
Even so, Qin Xiyao still noticed.
Having her secret discovered, especially by a close friend, made Lu Wanqing want to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself there until this whole thing was over before she came out again.
But Qin Xiyao seemed to have already spoken her mind. Whether it was because she was drunk or for some other reason, she seemed to be smiling, but said with a hint of self-deprecation, "This kind of thing is not something to be ashamed of. If you like someone, you like them; if you don't like someone, you don't like them. In relationships, if too many unnecessary factors are involved, it will often backfire."
These words were spoken to Lu Wanqing, but also to herself.
Lu Wanqing stared blankly at Qin Xiyao, her lips pressed tightly together.
Qin Xiyao's words made her understand something and gave her the courage to speak out.
"Xi Yao, although I don't know when you found out, after hearing what you said, I think I understand something..."
Qin Xiyao's gaze fell on Lu Wanqing's face, that quiet and sweet face, which at this moment showed both seriousness and shyness.
Qin Xiyao just looked at her without saying a word.
Lu Wanqing calmed herself down slightly, then said softly, "I don't know if this counts as liking someone. I've never cared about anyone this much before, and I've never experienced this feeling before..."
"In my understanding and in my plans, this kind of thing has never been considered, but now..."
Lu Wanqing smiled, a sweet smile, but in Qin Xiyao's eyes, it looked like a girl who had found her own happiness, which stung her.
"His involvement made me realize that life actually has meaning, a meaning I've never had before..."
