Chapter 791 Haoyue Extra (53)
On the way back to the hotel, the two remained silent.
Wen Yue walked ahead, while Tang Minghao followed behind with his head drooping.
He felt that she seemed angry, but his slightly muddled mind couldn't quite figure out what was making her angry.
Halfway there, there was a small step on the road. Tang Minghao didn't pay attention and almost fell after missing it.
In his panic, he instinctively grabbed the wall next to him, only to find a stick leaning against the wall with two bricks underneath it.
His action of supporting her caused a chain reaction: first the stick fell over, then it brought down her head.
With a series of crackling sounds, Wen Yue finally stopped and turned around.
She looked at him without saying a word, but her gaze held an unprecedented sharpness.
For a moment, Tang Minghao didn't dare to meet her gaze. Like a child who had done something wrong, he lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.
Wen Yue looked at him for a while, let out a long sigh, walked to his side, and helped him up: "Can you still walk?"
Tang Minghao nodded quickly: "Yes, I can."
Wen Yue then fell silent and helped him walk towards the hotel.
Silence spread between the two of them. When they reached the room door, Wen Yue took the room card from his pocket, swiped it, and then helped him lie down on the bed.
As he turned to the side, Tang Minghao noticed her slightly flushed cheeks.
Thinking of the glass of baijiu she had just drunk, he pursed his lips and said, "Actually, you didn't need to drink that. I reckon that was Sun Yong's last glass..."
Wen Yue had intended to go to the kitchen next door to pour him a glass of warm water, but she stopped in her tracks as soon as she finished speaking.
The next moment, she turned and walked towards him, sat down on the chair by the bed, and asked seriously, "Tang Minghao, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Tang Minghao was slightly taken aback, and after a moment he said somewhat awkwardly, "You...you are very good, kind, gentle, optimistic, and hardworking..."
"Aside from all that?" Wen Yue thought for a moment, then elaborated, "Do you think I'm very weak?"
Tang Minghao was taken aback again.
He wanted to say no, he knew she only looked weak, but was actually more resilient than anyone else.
Perhaps because he had drunk too much, he found that his tongue was not straight and he could not say a word.
Wen Yue looked at his somewhat bewildered expression, pursed her lips, and asked, "Why did you have a drinking contest with Sun Yong today?"
This question is easy to answer, Tang Minghao quickly said, "You don't know, he can really drink, and when he's drunk, he's particularly fond of doing... performance art. You've just arrived, and I'm afraid it would put you in a difficult position..."
"So you're going to take the initiative to get him drunk first, and help me get rid of this 'trouble'?" Wen Yue asked sharply, a rare occurrence for her.
Tang Minghao was somewhat at a loss for words. "I didn't think that much about it. When I came in, I saw a glass of white wine and a glass of red wine on your table. I...I..."
"Have you forgotten that I've attended quite a few drinking parties myself? I can handle this situation perfectly well on my own."
Tang Minghao fell silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "I was meddling in other people's business."
Wen Yue looked at him and let out a long sigh: "I don't want to blame you, I just want you to know that I'm not as weak as you think, and I don't need you to sacrifice yourself to help me."
Seeing that he didn't speak, she added, "Besides, what you're doing now has gone beyond the boundaries of ordinary friendship. I don't know what your repeated concern for me is, but I can't bear this concern."
She took a deep breath and said, "I originally thought that even though we broke up, we still work at the same company and would run into each other all the time, so we should at least be friends. But now it seems that this might be a bit difficult for me. Let's try to communicate less outside of work in the future."
She has made up her mind to cut ties with him.
But everything he does right now will make her misunderstand.
Her feelings were precious and could not withstand his repeated aloofness and wanton torment.
Tang Minghao was stunned.
He never expected Wen Yue to think that way, and hurriedly asked, "How is it difficult? Have I caused you any trouble?"
Wen Yue couldn't explain it; her biggest problem was how good he was to her.
Because if he treats her even the slightest bit nicely, she will be like a moth drawn to a flame, unable to resist wanting to rush towards him.
However, being burned by fire is not a pleasant experience.
She felt an emptiness in her heart when she saw that message between him and Xu Zheng not long ago, and she didn't want to experience it a second time.
She let out a sigh of relief: "It's nothing. I just feel that since we've broken up, it's better for both of us to keep our distance. That way, the media won't be able to capture anything, and if we both have new relationships in the future, it won't cause any misunderstandings."
Upon hearing this, Tang Minghao became anxious: "What do you mean by 'new relationship'? You have a new relationship? With whom? Song Huaiyuan?"
Wen Yue felt that there was no point in reasoning with a drunkard right now, so she turned around and went into the kitchen, took a glass of warm water and placed it next to him: "We can talk about this when you're sober. Drink some water and go to sleep first."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but Tang Minghao grabbed her wrist: "Wait, explain yourself first..."
Wen Yue pulled his hand down and tucked it back into the blanket: "I can't explain it to you right now."
After saying that, she turned and left.
This time, her actions were resolute, giving the person behind her no chance to grab her wrist.
Tang Minghao watched her retreating figure for a long while before collapsing back onto the bed.
Staring blankly at the ceiling, he vaguely felt as if he had messed something up, but he didn't know what to do.
Even if he were to pat his chest and assure Wen Yue that he was absolutely sincere towards her and wanted to start over with her, would she believe him? Would she agree?
He had almost guessed the answer without even thinking.
...
Wen Yue returned to her room, took another shower, and then went to bed.
Her body was exhausted, but her mind was exceptionally clear.
In particular, she knew clearly that the room next door was that person's room.
She would always find herself wondering: Did he drink that glass of warm water? Did he have an upset stomach? Should she prepare some medicine for him...?
She tossed and turned for a moment, then suddenly sat up.
She knew this wouldn't work.
Today is only the first day, and she is already experiencing such a huge emotional fluctuation because of his appearance.
So what's next?
This film will take three whole months to shoot. Does she have to maintain this condition indefinitely?
This would absolutely not do her any good in completing the job flawlessly.
She rubbed her face hard and lay back down.
This time, she forced herself to close her eyes, but the words Gao Yingying had said a few days ago kept popping into her mind: "The best way to forget a relationship is to start a new one."
Perhaps... she could give it a try?
