Late night tavern.

Zhao Jinchen and Shu He had already drunk quite a bit of wine.

The two chatted a lot, just like friends reminiscing about the past, talking about interesting things in the past, occasionally discussing a few former mutual friends, and their current lives.

Just like the last time they had dinner in the cafe, they talked a lot, but they didn't talk about their relationship issues.

As if to avoid embarrassment or fear of being rejected, they deliberately keep silent about it.

There was already a hint of drunkenness in Shu He's eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to see my performance today?"

Zhao Jinchen smiled faintly, "I'm afraid it will affect you. After all, you value work more than anything else."

The curve of Shu He's lips froze, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, "Sorry."

Zhao Jinchen was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, I... I'm just worried that it will affect your work. You must be very busy before the performance starts."

Not blaming her for leaving him for work.

Zhao Jinchen raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, then smiled helplessly.

So he never lets himself get drunk.

He hopes that he can always keep his brain clear so that he won't do anything wrong or say anything wrong.

I drank a little too much tonight without realizing it.

The brain is in an excited state under the stimulation of alcohol, and it is easy to speak without restraint and say things that may be misunderstood.

Shu He asked, "What are you thinking about? I'm sorry about what happened tonight. If I hadn't seen your name on the flower card, I wouldn't have known you were here tonight."

Zhao Jinchen raised his eyes to look at her, and when he saw that the charming smile had returned to her eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's he who thinks too much.

She must have thought that her choice back then did not let him down.

He thought so too.

He had just taken over the family business at that time and was very busy every day and had no time to accompany her.

Women are like flowers, they need the nourishment and companionship of love.

Since he couldn't do it back then, he should have let her go free.

And the fact proves that she can still bloom brilliantly after leaving him.

If she had stayed and married him in her best years, she would not have been as beautiful as she is now after getting married.

He was truly proud of her.

Shu He took a sip of wine, "Jinchen, actually..."

Meeting Zhao Jinchen's gaze, Shu He hesitated to speak.

There was some expectation in Zhao Jinchen's eyes, and he looked at her without blinking.

She just smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to thank you for coming to my performance. I thought you would never come to see me dance again."

In fact, she used to look for him in the audience every time she performed.

But every time she was disappointed, and the feeling of loss even affected her performance.

In order to avoid feeling disappointed and melancholy again, she began to restrain herself from looking at the audience during performances.

It was difficult to adapt at first, but I got used to it over time.

Now when she performs, she can completely immerse herself in her own dance world without distraction.

So today he came, but she didn't see him.

"How could it be..." Zhao Jinchen hesitated for a moment, his Adam's apple moving slightly, "I have seen many of your performances over the years."

As long as he can spare the time, he will not be absent.

No matter which country or city she performed in, he would try his best to sit in the audience, watch her silently and cheer for her.

Shu He was stunned, with tears of excitement in his eyes, "Really...really?"

Zhao Jinchen nodded slightly.

Shu He smiled in surprise, "I didn't know that! Why didn't you contact me?"

"Time is tight and you are so busy, I don't want to disturb you."

Zhao Jinchen tried hard to make his tone sound calm and relaxed, but his eyes were dodging, and for a moment he didn't know where to look.

Shu He looked at him with sparkling eyes.

No matter how nonchalant he acted, she knew now that he had been silently coming to watch her performances over the past few years.

A huge flower blossomed on her heart, which was suddenly beating wildly.

The gaze she gave him became increasingly hot.

Shu He's red lips moved slightly, and she finally mustered up the courage to say something.

At this time, Zhao Jinchen picked up the phone.

Zhao Jinche sent him a WeChat message.

Zhao Jinche: [Brother, congratulations! ]

Zhao Jinche: [Shouldn't I be rewarded for my contribution? ]

Zhao Jinchen: [What are you talking about? ]

Then Zhao Jinche sent a video link.

Zhao Jinchen clicked it and took a look, his brows suddenly frowned.

The video showed him and Shu He hugging each other on the overpass at night.

"What's wrong?" Shu He asked.

Zhao Jinchen looked embarrassed and hesitated, not knowing how to tell Shu He.

Shu He stretched his neck to glance at his phone screen and smiled without any surprise, "I've seen this video, and there are many other versions."

Zhao Jinchen was worried, "Will it affect your work? If...if necessary, I can come forward to help you clarify."

clarify?

Shu He frowned slightly.

So at that moment, when he hugged her so tightly, he had no other thoughts or ideas?

To him, was it just a hug between friends?

Shu He couldn't ask, and used a smile to cover up the loneliness in his heart, "It doesn't matter, I'm not a traffic idol, it won't cause much impact. Fortunately, you didn't turn your head at that time. If your face was photographed, it would be difficult to explain to your girlfriend, and I don't know if she can recognize you."

Zhao Jinchen had a puzzled look on his face, and became more and more confused the more he listened.

Shu He looked at him and said, "If necessary, I can also explain it to your girlfriend for you. My explanation should be easier for her to believe than yours."

"What girlfriend?" Zhao Jinchen was puzzled. "Did you make a mistake?"

Shu He asked: "Don't you have a girlfriend?"

"Who told you that?"

"Just... this afternoon, I saw you and her having lunch in a cafe."

"Today at noon?" Zhao Jinchen recalled and suddenly laughed, "You mean Lanlan? She is my younger sister."

Shu He was surprised, with a barely perceptible surprise in his eyes.

She was worried that she had misunderstood again, so she confirmed again, "The girl at noon was your little sister who was wandering around?"

"Yes, she had something to discuss with me at noon, and I thought girls would like the decoration style of that cafe, so I took her there."

"Sorry, I misunderstood." Shu He covered his lips and smiled.

No wonder, his eyes were full of that girl at that time.

She was well aware of his feelings for his little sister.

From childhood to adulthood, he would tell her all his secrets and concerns.

Zhao Jinchen also laughed along with Shu He.

Looking at the smile in Shu He's eyes flickering under the lights of the pub, he felt an uncontrollable throbbing in his heart.

After clearing his throat, he said seriously, "I don't have a girlfriend."

Hearing this, Shu He stopped laughing and looked at the bouquet of gentian flowers placed next to him.

There is no need to say too much between them.

There is no need to say some things too clearly, as both parties already understand each other's minds.

"Jinchen, thank you for the flowers you sent me. I like them very much."

Shu He looked at Zhao Jinchen, his eyes as gentle as water, "I also have a special gift that I want to give to you."
