GLIHBN Chapter 38
by VolareSu Shi didn’t want to get entangled with Xu Chongming any longer because he realized he was really on the verge of exploding.
He wanted to be like Su Zhi, hysterically questioning him, wanting to rush up and punch Xu Chongming, wanting to curse at him.
How could you lie to me, how could you lie to me, how could you lie to me!!!
But Su Shi cared about his image.
From beginning to end, Xu Chongming didn’t understand what Su Shi was really concerned about, and kept explaining his relationship with Miss Miao, which made Su Shi feel helpless.
Xu Chongming was afraid that Su Shi would leave and ignore him, so he stood in front of Su Shi, pleading, “Su Shi, don’t be angry.”
Su Shi pinched the flesh in his palm with his fingernails, his voice lowered, but his aura was strong and his eyes were firm, “Move.”
Xu Chongming had never seen Su Shi angry, and was stunned for a moment.
Just then, Su Shi walked past him, ignoring the curious glances of the guests nearby.
Su Shi walked very fast, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible. He quickly walked out of the door and headed for the elevator.
Song Qingyan followed closely behind Su Shi. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, thinking it looked a bit like Chi Ye, but when he turned his head to look, it was gone, the place was empty.
Song Qingyan followed Su Shi into the elevator. The magnificent mirrored surface reflected their images again, but the difference was huge between when they came in smiling and when they left with their heads down.
Su Shi leaned against the railing in the elevator, “What a bummer, we didn’t even enjoy the fancy seafood buffet.”
Song Qingyan said, “It’s okay, we’ll come again next time.”
Not only did he waste two of Song Qingyan’s coupons, but he also made him worry about him. Su Shi felt a little guilty, “I’ll treat next time.”
Song Qingyan wasn’t someone who cared about such things, “Don’t drive, take my car, and give me your car keys, I’ll have the driver come and drive it to your apartment building.”
Su Shi mechanically accepted the arrangement, “Okay, thanks.”
Once in the car, Su Shi rested his elbow on the window, his hand on his forehead, his mind in a mess.
Song Qingyan didn’t know what to say, it didn’t seem like the right time to say anything. He believed that Su Shi was clear-headed enough to think things through.
Sure enough, Su Shi spoke first, “He went on a blind date because his family told him to. I can understand that if he just told me, but I really can’t understand why he had to lie to me?”
There were many such things in their circle, forced by family pressure to go on blind dates with girls. If the girl wasn’t interested, then great, the two could cooperate to deal with their families.
Contractual relationships and contractual marriages were everywhere, each party getting what they needed.
Even more people cheated on both sides, finding someone outside even after getting married. So, in the minds of many heterosexuals, this circle was very chaotic.
Without the protection of the law, they could only rely on a sense of morality, but people’s sense of morality would only keep refreshing the lower limits.
And Xu Chongming, would he be one of them?
Song Qingyan rarely refrained from continuing to criticize Xu Chongming, “You know what his mom is like, he probably can’t resist her. He didn’t tell you about the blind date because he was afraid you’d worry.”
“He’s never fought his mom for me, not even once. I don’t even think he has the courage to do that.”
Su Shi only wanted a stable and long-lasting relationship, even if it wasn’t so earth-shattering, but enough to be a steady stream, he would be satisfied.
But he couldn’t tolerate deception and betrayal. He didn’t want to go down Su Zhi’s old path. He only wanted someone whose heart and soul belonged only to him.
Su Shi could see that Xu Chongming’s eyes and heart used to be full of him. In Xu Chongming, Su Shi experienced the beauty of love. Su Shi thought that this relationship would continue forever.
Even after a few years of long-distance relationship, after Xu Chongming came back, Su Shi felt like something had changed about him, he had become unfamiliar, but he still wanted to try to find the feeling they once had.
But as Song Qingyan said before, once the feeling changed, it couldn’t be found again.
Song Qingyan was troubled about how to comfort Su Shi when the phone kept ringing. Song Qingyan hung up irritably, but the other party called again, with the persistence that he would blow up his phone if he didn’t answer.
Besides Qiao Yu, who else could it be.
The phone kept ringing, and they couldn’t continue talking. Finally, Su Shi couldn’t help but say, “Answer it, or Qiao Yu will come kill us.”
When the phone rang again, Song Qingyan finally answered, his tone a little sharp, “What urgent matter do you have to say right now?”
The other side transmitted Qiao Yu’s somewhat aggrieved voice, “Honey, why are you ignoring me? What did I do wrong?”
This was a little unexpected for Su Shi. He didn’t expect the always domineering Qiao Yu to have such a soft side, but he wasn’t in the mood to tease this enviable gay couple right now.
Song Qingyan coughed lightly, “I’m driving right now, Su Shi is next to me, I’m taking him home.”
Knowing that Su Shi could hear, Qiao Yu didn’t say much, “Then drive carefully, I’ll wait for you at home.”
Song Qingyan probably felt that his tone just now was a bit bad, so he coaxed, “Yeah, I’ll be back soon, there’s a gift for you in the car.”
Qiao Yu was immediately appeased, “Okay, love you, bye.”
Song Qingyan raised the corners of his lips, then pursed them again, feeling it was inappropriate, “Where were we just now?”
Su Shi listened to their tender conversation and compared himself to Xu Chongming, the difference was obvious.
Su Shi rubbed his temples, “Never mind, let me calm down for a few days, I don’t want to act impulsively.”
“Yeah, although I really don’t like that Xu guy, but this matter isn’t exactly a matter of principle, it’s up to you. No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you.”
“Yeah, okay.”
“I will always support you.”
Su Shi forced a smile to Song Qingyan, but Song Qingyan thought it looked ugly.
The car became quiet, and the streets and neon lights flashed past Su Shi’s eyes. They were thrown far behind, and new ones were coming soon, repeating endlessly, until the car drove into Su Shi’s apartment complex.
Song Qingyan took the Porsche car keys from Su Shi’s hand, “Rest assured and leave it to me, go home and get a good night’s sleep, don’t think about anything.”
Su Shi was very relieved, “Okay.”
Su Shi was about to leave when Song Qingyan called out again, “Su Su.”
Su Shi squinted, “Don’t worry, I’m really okay.”
Facts proved that Song Qingyan was indeed too worried. Su Shi was okay, at least not so sad that he wanted to cry.
But he unusually wanted to have a drink, so he opened the refrigerator and took out two cans.
Su Shi also ordered takeout, eating and drinking, while watching TV.
There was more to life than just love, there were many important things, such as good friends, such as work, such as making money, such as his sister.
What’s more, as Su Shi said to Song Qingyan, it wasn’t like he caught him in bed, it wasn’t that serious.
After confiding in Song Qingyan in the car just now, Su Shi felt much better, he just needed some time to calm down and digest it properly.
The ice wine was cool and refreshing, and the mindless soap opera on TV was Su Shi’s favorite way to relieve stress when he was too stressed.
The male and female protagonists above would rather die than be together, and agreed to commit suicide together.
“What garbage plot!”
Su Shi took a sip of wine and couldn’t help but complain.
