Chapter 53: Deep Emotions and Heavy Meaning

  Under the warm yellow light, Cheng Zhiyuan silently drank his wine, thinking of that woman called "Bai Jie", thinking of Xu Chen and Zhang Ziyuan's deliberate concealment, his mood gradually became sorrowful, slowly dimming down.

  After a while, Guo Zhengzheng also arrived. As soon as he saw Cheng Ziyuan, he happily greeted her: "Hey, sister-in-law is here too? Welcome welcome!"

  Sister-in-law... At this address, Cheng Zhiyi's already slightly flushed face was burning even more fiercely, and she couldn't help but give Guo Zhengzheng a slightly awkward smile.

  "Hey, who's your sister-in-law? Your sister-in-law isn't white..." Xǔ Cuān was just about to tease Guō Zhēnzhēn, but before he could finish speaking, he consciously shut up like a cicada in winter - almost said the wrong thing again, if Xǔ Shǎoyàn found out, he'd be lucky not to get beaten to death!

  "This guy, he calls everyone 'sister-in-law'!" Xǔ Chēn finally turned his head around and explained to Chéng Zhǐyī with a tone of "trying to cover up but making it more obvious", "As long as Xǔ Shǎoyàn gets a new girlfriend, he'll call her 'sister-in-law'!"

  "Oh?" Jing Yiyi suddenly became interested and curiously asked, "Has Shao Yan 'dated' many girlfriends? How many exactly?"

  "I'm not sure either, probably... seven or eight..." Xǔ Chēn started speaking his mind after drinking.

  "So, is Bai Jie also one of his 'girlfriends'?" Cheng Zhiyi continued to "entice" him.

  "No!" Xu Chen waved his hand and said, "She is..."

  "She is the one I like!" came Zhang Ziyuan's low voice from beside me.

  Cheng Zhiyi and Xu Chen both turned their heads at the same time, only to see Zhang Ziyeh slightly displeased with Xu Chen, his eyes seeming to hold a warning - you're talking too much!

  Xu Chen reluctantly stopped talking and helplessly glanced at Zhang Ziyuan, who was uninteresting and disappointing, and then fell silent.

  Just then, Guo Zhenzhen hurriedly walked into the bar and anxiously said to Cheng Ziyuan: "Miss Mo seems to be drunk, squatting in the bathroom crying and laughing, how can she not come out... do you want to go take a look?"

  Jing Yi put down the wine glass in her hand and was about to get up, but Xu Chen lightly pressed on her shoulder, nodded at her, and smiled: "Let me go!"

  What? This man is saying... For Mo Wei... He's going to the women's restroom?

  Perhaps seeing the seriousness and urgency in Xu Chen's eyes, Cheng Zhiyi forgot to worry that this 'flower' gentleman would take advantage of her, and unknowingly sat back down, letting Xu Chen go alone.

  Watching Xu Chen get up and walk towards the bathroom, Cheng Zhiyi couldn't help but have a thread of doubt in her heart - did Xu Chen have feelings for Mo Wei?

  Just as Cheng Zhiyi expected, Xu Chen really has a crush on Mo Wei!

  At first, he also thought that Mo Wei was no different from those vain 'girls' around him, thinking that the tenderness in her eyes was because she was infatuated with his "good looks" and "wealth", thinking that Mo Wei was also a shallow girl who wanted to fly up to become a phoenix, thinking that she would also be a plaything for Xu Chen.

  However, as they spent more time together, he gradually discovered that Mo Wei was actually a clever and intelligent woman. Although she always smiled at him with great charm, there was a hint of playfulness in her smile; the tenderness in her eyes seemed sweet but also made people feel it wasn't quite real, making one feel uncomfortable deep down.

  From a distance, she is a bright and cheerful girl. Upon closer inspection, one discovers that deep down inside her lies an intense sorrow that cannot be dispelled; from a distance, she seems like a carefree and casual girl, but upon closer inspection, one realizes how profound and heavy-hearted she actually is!

  But why must all deep emotions be a tragedy, and have to end with death?

  Every time they drank together, Mo Wei was always smiling and radiant, but after getting drunk, she would often cry inexplicably, her heart aching. Gradually, he finally found out that all of Mo Wei's sorrow was because of a man she deeply loved, and also learned about the tragic ending of their love story.

  All her tears were shed for that man, all her sorrow was born of that man. Every time he saw Mo Wei cry so painfully, he couldn't help but feel heartache for this deeply emotional 'daughter', and couldn't help but want to gently hold her, giving her a thread of warmth.

  He had even secretly envied the man who had passed away, perhaps more so because he was admired by him - to be deeply loved by a beautiful woman for a lifetime, it was worth dying for! Unlike him, the elegant women around him, which one of them wasn't there for his money, and which one of them didn't think of using him, hoping to use him as a stepping stone to change their fate?

  True love... It turns out that his heart's deepest longing for true love really exists!

  Xu Chen gently pushed open the bathroom door, carefully looked inside and fortunately, there was no one else! He locked the outer door before he boldly walked in, only to see Mo Wei squatting by the sink crying.

  She bowed her head to her knees, with loose curly hair covering her face, and a pale green long skirt covering her legs, the hem of which fell on the floor. Xu Chen squatted beside her, gently shaking her shoulders, and said softly: "Get up, get up... Let's go outside to drink some warm water, it will be cold sitting here..."

  However, Mo Wei seemed to have not heard Xu Chen's words and continued to sob with her head on her knees, her thin shoulders shaking slightly. Xu Chen couldn't bear it anymore and finally couldn't help but hold her in his arms, letting her head lean against his chest, gently stroking her soft long hair.

  "Waaah... how can he be so heartless? How could he just abandon me in this desolate world... Do you know how much pain I'm in? Waaah... do you know... do you know."

  "I know... I know..." Xu Chen gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't cry anymore... don't cry, let's get up."

  Mo Wei suddenly wrapped her arms around Xu Chen's neck, burying her face in his shoulder and sobbing uncontrollably: "I miss you so much... I hate you so much... I hate my mom..."

  Apparently, she took the man in front of her for Shi Yi Xin who had long been gone.

  Xu Chen's body stiffened, feeling her soft cheek against his neck, accompanied by her gentle whispers, a warm breath caressing his nape and earlobe. Xu Chen's heart suddenly thumped wildly, his entire body boiling with hot blood, making him want to tightly hug the soft 'woman' in his arms and savor her sweet breath.

  However, he still managed to suppress the surging 'desire' in his heart, and gently picked up Mo Wei, carrying her into the private room. He gently placed her on the sofa, gently covered her with a thin blanket, gently brushed away the long hair covering her face, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then, gently kissed her smooth forehead...
