He was afraid that if he didn't leave soon, he would soften his heart, be unable to resist being nice to her, and reconcile with her.
In relationships, he was always the one being manipulated; as long as Jiang Xuening beckoned with her finger, he would obediently chase after her.
But he was afraid, afraid of being abandoned again, because then he would die!
Yan Yuze drove off, leaving Jiang Xuening sobbing on the spot...
Yan Yuze couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror.
She was crying... and his heart ached even more...
He immediately looked away, afraid that if he looked any longer he wouldn't be able to bear it, afraid that he would go back to get her.
Back at their secret hideout, Yan Yuze sat on the sofa drinking. Since they weren't coming back, he decided to stay in the living room.
He didn't turn on the light, and just kept drinking and drinking. He drank beer, but it wasn't enough, so he drank some red wine and then some white wine. He got a little tipsy, so he went back to drinking beer. He drank until it was completely dark, but he didn't seem to care.
He drank a whole case but still couldn't find relief, so he brought over another case to continue drinking.
"Beep beep beep," came the sound of entering a password from outside the door.
Li Shaochuan and Su Ruien are back.
"Why do you smell so strongly of alcohol?"
Su Ruien quickly turned on the living room lights.
The two saw Yan Yuze slumped on the ground, drinking alone. The ground was messy, littered with empty soda cans, and there were open bottles of red and white wine on the table...
"Aze, why are you so drunk?"
Li Shaochuan frowned. He hadn't been like this in a long time. What had happened?
Yan Yuze was already quite drunk, and his face was slightly flushed.
Yan Yuze didn't say anything, and continued drinking. After emptying a can, he would crush it and throw it away.
"Aze, stop drinking!"
Su Ruien couldn't stand seeing her brother ruin his body, so she snatched the wine from Yan Yuze's hand.
"Heh...hehe...hehehe..."
Yan Yuze suddenly chuckled like a madman, a few tears streaming down his face. He then picked up another new bottle of wine, opened it, and continued drinking.
Seeing Yan Yuze like this, Su Ruien and Li Shaochuan had no choice but to drink with him.
There was a long silence.
"She's back..."
These four words are few, but each word is heavy and painful.
Of course, Su Ruien and Li Shaochuan both knew who Yan Yuze was referring to when he said "she".
The two of them were stunned for a moment. They didn't dare to say anything else to provoke him. They knew that Jiang Xuening was his life, before and now... otherwise, Yan Yuze wouldn't be such a heavy drinker.
As his brothers, since they couldn't stop him, they could only drink with him.
Suddenly, Yan Yuze coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and his face turned pale.
He collapsed weakly onto the sofa.
"Aze!"
Upon seeing this, the two instinctively called out to Yan Yuze.
Since both of them had been drinking and were unable to drive, they quickly dialed 120 for emergency medical assistance and waited for an ambulance to pick up Yan Yuze.
It's 11 PM in Country Z, and 6 AM in Country F.
Lan Jingyan and Yan Xiluo slept in a tent in the back garden last night, and were woken up by a series of ringing bells.
Because of work, Lan Jingyan never puts his phone on silent, afraid that he might not be able to reach someone in an emergency.
"Hey, Shaochuan, what's wrong?"
Lan Jingyan vaguely saw the caller ID and quickly answered the phone.
"Aze is in the hospital."
Li Shaochuan, who was usually calm and rational, trembled slightly at this moment.
Lan Jingyan realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly sat up.
When Yan Xiluo heard Lan Jingyan call out to Li Shaochuan, she also came closer to listen.
"What happened? Why is Aze in the hospital?"
Lan Jingyan was also very anxious. He and Yan Yuze usually argued and bickered, but among the four of them, they had a better relationship.
"She's back."
Li Shaochuan paused for a moment, and Su Ruien took the phone and continued.
“Aze drank heavily at our villa last night. He drank too much and we couldn’t stop him, so we could only stay with him. Unexpectedly, he suddenly vomited blood and collapsed. An ambulance came and took him to the hospital. He has been in critical condition. The doctor said that he suffered from alcohol poisoning due to drinking too much, and he went into shock and had a stomach hemorrhage.”
Su Ruien felt increasingly guilty as she spoke, thinking that if the two of them had intervened forcefully, this wouldn't have happened.
"What's the point of her coming back? What right does she have to appear in front of Aze again!"
Lan Jingyan was furious. They were there for Yan Yuze during his darkest time; without them, Yan Yuze might have...
Moreover, Yan Yuze's stomach is already weak, so he simply cannot tolerate a large amount of alcohol.
"Seeing his condition, Shaochuan and I didn't dare to ask too many questions. He's been rescued now and is fine. We're all here with him."
He reassured Lan Jingyan that they all knew Lan Jingyan was in F country and wouldn't be back anytime soon.
"Okay, Luo Luo and I will go back right away."
Lan Jingyan hung up the phone in a state of agitation.
Even without him saying anything, Yan Xiluo, who was right next to him, had heard the entire conversation clearly.
"Luo Luo, pack your things and we're going back to China right away."
Lan Jingyan was anxious, her expression filled with sorrow.
"good."
Yan Xiluo was also very worried, after all, it was her own brother lying in the hospital, and she didn't dare to ask Lan Jingyan too much about what had happened.
This was the first time Yan Xiluo had seen Lan Jingyan so angry and anxious, his expression so somber. Something was definitely not simple.
The two quickly packed their luggage and boarded the private jet.
Z Country
Hospital
Yan Yuze has been rescued and his condition has been brought under control. He has been transferred from the ICU back to the VIP ward.
Yan Yuze lay on the hospital bed, his face still looking rather pale. Although he had been saved, he had not yet woken up.
"Why did Jiang Xuening come back? Why is she tormenting Aze like this?"
Su Ruien's long-suppressed emotions finally erupted at this moment, though he kept his voice down because they were in a hospital room.
He felt heartache, but even more so, anger. She was the one who provoked Yan Yuze first, the one who pursued him, so why didn't she cherish what she had so easily? And then she just left like that?
“If it weren’t for the fact that Aze still loves her, I would really want to find her and wring her neck right now.”
Li Shaochuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he clenched his fist.
He witnessed firsthand the awful life Yan Yuze endured after she left!
Just when I was finally getting over this heartbreak, she reappeared.
Does she even have a heart?
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuening dragged her tired body back to the apartment, lit a cigarette in the corner... and took a few deep drags...
It seems she hasn't learned anything else over the years, except for this...
Especially when she missed Yan Yuze, she tried her best to stay up every day and night, just so she could go back to his side...
She knew she wasn't qualified or worthy, but she wanted to try again, she wanted to work harder. He was her light, the motivation that kept her going.
Unfortunately, everything has changed...
She looked at the old photos of the two of them, so close and intimate, and gave a self-deprecating laugh...
