Chapter 36: After Drinking
"Zhou Cheng!" When Su Qingyan returned, he saw Zhou Cheng smoking facing the sea on the beach not far away, so he walked over and called him.
"So long?" Zhou Cheng put down the cigarette when he saw him coming.
"I met an acquaintance." Su Qingyan pulled his arm, but felt Zhou Cheng struggle slightly.
"Let's eat." Zhou Cheng took the orange juice from Su Qingyan's hand and drank it all in one gulp.
Su Qingyan seemed to understand something when he saw his condition.
"That acquaintance runs an entertainment company, and the person who came with him was a minor celebrity. You know those people in the entertainment industry, they treat everyone as their financial sponsor."
Zhou Cheng nodded.
After all, they are not from the same world.
The atmosphere at dinner was always dull. No matter how Su Qingyan tried to liven it up, Zhou Cheng's expression remained eerily calm.
"Zhou Cheng, tell me what makes you unhappy." Su Qingyan put down his knife and fork.
"I'm not unhappy." Zhou Cheng still didn't look at Su Qingyan. He turned his head and looked at the sea which was as black as the sky. Waves of white waves rushed towards the shore, and the sound was like the roar before death.
"Did you hear what Jiang Er said to me?" Su Qingyan felt that apart from this incident, nothing else could cause such a huge change in Zhou Cheng's attitude.
"I don't know who you're talking about." Zhou Cheng picked up a live shrimp and put it on the baking tray, watching it struggle continuously and finally slowly stop.
"Zhou Cheng, I did like to play in the past, but it's different now. Don't listen to what Jiang Er says." Su Qingyan went to pull his hand.
"Yeah." Zhou Cheng took his hand away and lit another cigarette.
It is safest not to take the initiative or refuse. Zhou Cheng feels that he needs to digest this for a while.
Su Qingyan felt like a nuclear explosion had just occurred in his heart. He wanted to gouge Jiang Xingyao alive. He stood up suddenly, kicked the chair away, and left angrily.
Seeing him walk away so angrily, Zhou Cheng actually felt relieved. The obedient and good-natured child was not the real Su Qingyan at all. Wearing a mask all the time would be tiring for anyone. Zhou Cheng could imagine what Su Qingyan was like in the past without having to listen to others. He was just a little concerned about the phrase "not now". If not now, could it be some other time?
After returning to the villa, Zhou Cheng stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the dark sea outside, not knowing how to face Su Qingyan.
Zhou Cheng waited until after 11 o'clock but Su Qingyan still hadn't returned. His anger had almost dissipated, and he even wanted to go out and look for him. Although he knew the island was safe and nothing would happen, he was still a little worried. After asking the housekeeper, he walked towards the bar in the center of the island.
The neon lights in the bar were flashing, the voices were noisy, and the music was deafening, making Zhou Cheng feel like he was back to the day when he played the piano on the stage.
Soon, the drunk Su Qingyan was found in the corner. He was lying alone on the bar, surrounded by empty wine glasses, and a bartender was guarding him.
"Xiao Su?" Zhou Cheng went over and helped him up.
Su Qingyan's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were blurred. When she saw that it was Zhou Cheng, she threw herself on him.
"Go back."
Zhou Cheng didn't know if he could hear clearly, but seeing that he didn't react, he just stood up and walked out. After half dragging and half dragging him outside, Zhou Cheng's ears finally quieted down and he found Su Qingyan lying on his back, shaking his shoulders.
"Drunk?" Zhou Cheng found a chair for Su Qingyan to sit on.
"Zhou Cheng..." Su Qingyan hugged his neck and wiped her tears on his shoulder.
"Why are you crying?" Zhou Cheng heard his sobbing and patted his back.
"Zhou Cheng..." Su Qingyan cried even harder after hearing what he said.
"Are you a crybaby?"
Deep down, Zhou Cheng had no resistance to beautiful crying children, to the point where he could forgive any wrongdoing.
"Zhou Cheng... give me a chance..." Su Qingyan hugged Zhou Cheng without looking up.
"Give it to me, I didn't say no." Zhou Cheng wanted to help him up, but Su Qingyan didn't move. "Stop crying, let's go back?"
"I was ignorant before, but I have changed now..." Su Qingyan felt wronged and opened her mouth to bite Zhou Cheng's shoulder.
"I know. Can you get up if you bite it gently?" Zhou Cheng tried to pull him again.
"Dizzy..." Su Qingyan felt like the world was spinning around him every time he moved.
"I'll carry you." Zhou Cheng turned around and let Su Qingyan lie on his back.
Su Qingyan was a pretty good drinker, and apart from crying when drunk, there was nothing unusual about him. Zhou Cheng carried him back to the villa, listening to his repeated apologies and promises in a tearful voice all the way.
The next day, Su Qingyan woke up and immediately closed her eyes again. Did she cry after drinking too much yesterday?
He was so embarrassed that he wanted to sleep forever.
Zhou Cheng swam several laps in the infinity pool that morning, ate some fruit, tasted some red wine, and basked in the sun on a lounge chair. In the end, he felt so bored that he turned on his computer to continue reading some documents. It was almost noon, and he didn't see Su Qingyan get up yet, so he went back indoors.
"Wake up." Zhou Cheng pulled open the blackout curtains in the bedroom and saw Su Qingyan sitting on the bed, completely covered in the quilt. "Why don't you get up now that you're awake?"
"Zhou Cheng, yesterday I..." Su Qingyan hesitated.
"She cries beautifully, I like it." Zhou Cheng said with a smile.
"You are really sick..." Su Qingyan opened the quilt, and threw the pillow at Zhou Cheng with a messy hair. "I am telling the truth, can you-"
"You were young and ignorant, but you have changed now. Give me a chance. You repeated these words for an hour yesterday." Zhou Cheng threw the pillow back.
"It's just my true feelings. Everything I say when I'm drunk is the truth." Su Qingyan hugged the pillow, then went to pull Zhou Cheng's hand. Seeing that he didn't look away, her eyes brightened instantly.
"Come and take a look." Zhou Cheng sat on the bed and took out his cell phone.
"What?" Su Qingyan leaned over to take a look.
"You insisted I record this yesterday, your confession video." Zhou Cheng was about to click on it when Su Qingyan snatched the phone away.
"Delete it, delete it."
After the atmosphere finally eased, Zhou Cheng began to criticize him for drinking before he recovered from his illness and got himself drunk. Su Qingyan had no choice but to start a new round of confession and promised that he would never drink in the near future, and would have a good rest and take medicine on time.
