Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Forever and Ever, Also Has an End
 

It wasn’t long before Yu Weiwei, who had promised not to drink too much, got drunk again.

She started lying on the table quietly looking at her glass without making a sound.

The brilliant lights shone on the transparent glass, refracting the liquor into a spectrum of colorful glows.

She just lay there in silence, not speaking.

The noisy music filled her ears, and from time to time, good-looking guys would come over and bring them snacks.

After lying there for a while, Yu Weiwei continued to drink, refilling her glass as soon as she finished one.

Following the long silence, Yu Weiwei sat up, holding her head and started to talk to Xu Chaomu.

“Chaomu, do you think that handsome guy is good-looking?” Yu Weiwei pointed at a man in the dance floor.

Xu Chaomu followed her gesture and saw a man wearing a tank top, well-built and tall.

However, having seen Shen Chi so often, she thought no other men were handsome.

Xu Chaomu propped her cheek and smiled, “He’s okay.”

“I know him, do you want to go dance with him? I can ask him for you,” Yu Weiwei looked at Xu Chaomu.

“No need,” Xu Chaomu refused, “I can’t dance.”

“Oh, I forgot, you’ve got a little tyke in your belly,” Yu Weiwei said with a laugh.

“Chenglang, let me set you up with a beautiful lady…” Yu Weiwei then turned her attention to Nie Chenglang.

Nie Chenglang also declined, smiling, “No need, I’m fine just drinking.”

Yu Weiwei’s face showed defeat. With no one entertaining her notion, she stood up by herself: “Then I’m off to dance, you guys chat.”

“Weiwei, take it easy!” Xu Chaomu said with concern.

She saw Yu Weiwei had drunk quite a bit and seemed unsteady on her feet.

“It’s fine, I haven’t had that much,” Yu Weiwei headed straight for the dance floor.

Once there, the kaleidoscopic lights illuminated her, and her beautiful, delicate face was suddenly enveloped in allure.

Nie Chenglang’s brow also furrowed with worry as he asked Xu Chaomu, “Is Weiwei troubled by something?”

“Probably,” Xu Chaomu sighed helplessly, “She just got drunk a few days ago…”

“Didn’t she tell you?”

“It’s as if she hasn’t, I don’t really understand what’s on her mind right now,” Xu Chaomu said, feeling helpless.

She propped her cheek and watched Yu Weiwei. But being drunk might be a good thing, as it at least allowed her to temporarily forget her troubles.

“By the way, Chenglang, how have you been?” Xu Chaomu asked.

“Everything’s pretty good with me,” Nie Chenglang did not say much, “Chaomu, was Wealth sent home last time?”

“Yeah, he’s being taken care of at my place. If you miss him, just give me a call and I’ll bring him out.”

“I haven’t seen him in a long time, I do miss him,” Nie Chenglang said, filled with emotion.

That little dog, they had initially seen it together on the street, and having kept it for so long, from Paris to C City, of course, they had developed deep feelings for it.

“How about this, after we take Weiwei home, I’ll take you to see him?” Xu Chaomu offered with a smile.

“Is he at the Shen Family’s place?”

“It’s okay, Shen Chi went to attend a wedding.”

“Then I’ll go see him.”

Nie Chenglang heaved a sigh internally. Now, he and Xu Chaomu couldn’t be as close as they were before.

Yu Weiwei danced for a while, her head dripping with sweat, and truly heavily inebriated, when a handsome guy escorted her down.

“You guys should take this miss to rest,” the handsome man said loudly.

Xu Chaomu nodded, steadying Yu Weiwei: “Alright, thank you for your trouble.”

Yu Weiwei pushed Xu Chaomu away: “I’m not drunk, I still want to dance… It’s been a long time since I’ve been here… I’m truly sober, Chaomu…”

“Alright, Weiwei, shall we come back another time?” Xu Chaomu helped her sit down on the sofa.

“I want to drink…” Yu Weiwei pleaded pitifully as she looked at Xu Chaomu.

“Let me take you home to sleep, okay? Be good,” Xu Chaomu coaxed Yu Weiwei.

At this moment, Yu Weiwei’s face was flushed, and she squinted her eyes, looking dazed and confused.

Just then, the half-blooded owner came over.

“Did Weiwei get drunk again?” the owner said.

“No matter how good her tolerance, she can’t withstand drinking like this,” Xu Chaomu shook his head.

“Every time she comes here, she ends up drunk, this girl has some heavy stuff on her mind,” the owner mused.

“She… gets drunk every time she comes here?” Xu Chaomu asked curiously.

“Yep, either she doesn’t come, or she’s definitely going to get drunk if she does,” the owner shrugged. “Luckily, she knows a kind friend like me. Every time she’s drunk, I have to send someone to take her back. But not today, since you’re here.”

“Jack… you’re talking nonsense again…” Yu Weiwei, half-drunk, looked at the owner, “When have I ever gotten drunk? Every time I asked you to drink with me, you’re too much of a scaredy-cat to even take a sip.”

Jack just shrugged: “See, I told you she’s drunk, right?”

“Weiwei, right, he is a scaredy-cat, afraid to drink,” Xu Chaomu soothed Yu Weiwei.

The half-blooded owner’s face was covered in metaphorical dark lines, the corner of his mouth twitching.

“I need to go to the restroom…”

Yu Weiwei struggled to get up from the couch and staggered in the direction of the restroom.

“Weiwei, can you manage? Should I help you over?” Xu Chaomu’s face was full of concern.

“I’m not drunk, I’m really not drunk,” Yu Weiwei insisted, supporting herself against the wall as she slowly moved towards the restroom.

Xu Chaomu, feeling helpless, exchanged a look with Nie Chenglang.

“Looks like Weiwei really is troubled,” Nie Chenglang remarked.

“Maybe…”

Xu Chaomu looked into the colorful lights and knew that Yu Weiwei must have been thinking about Li Beiting again…

In this world, only love can truly wear down the heart.

Yu Weiwei entered the restroom and locked the door behind her, and the tears she had been suppressing finally burst forth…

Initially, she bowed over the edge of the sink weeping, and gradually, she crouched down, burying her head in her knees.

She cried fiercely, but with every sob, she tried her best to suppress the sound of her tears.

The tears soaked her hair and clothes, and her eyes were swollen to the size of peaches in no time.

The world outside was still filled with deafening music and cheers, but inside the restroom, it was quiet.

After crying for a long time, she felt too miserable and ended up vomiting messily by the sink.

From her pocket, she took out a ring, a dazzling, brilliantly beautiful diamond ring.

The light in the restroom was dim, but it did not detract from the ring’s splendor.

The diamond sparkled with a clear light, flawless and pure.

She opened the window of the restroom, and a breeze blew in through the pane.

Outside there was a river, under the night sky, glistening with ripples.

Forever and a day, even eternity has its end.

Love is a journey with a destination, but at that endpoint, there are no flowers, no dawn, only thorns…

The cool evening wind blew through the window, lifting her long hair.

Yu Weiwei gently brushed aside the broken strands by her ear, and with heavy eyes, she stared at the depths of the river.

Is love, truly beautiful?

She didn’t know…

She raised her hand, cradling the diamond ring in her palm while gazing at it intently.
