Chapter 448: Chapter 446: Why Doesn’t It Count?
Song Sinian’s eyebrows slightly arched, "It doesn’t matter who got drunk between Xu Zhenzhen and Xia Wenqing, what’s important is what exactly will happen between the two of them tonight."
In fact, his original plan was to take advantage of Xu Zhenzhen’s drunkenness to let her take the initiative and break the ice.
Since Xia Wenqing liked Xu Zhenzhen, upon receiving this signal, he should no longer hesitate.
Now it wasn’t Xu Zhenzhen who had drunk, but Xia Wenqing. Let’s see if this man would take the opportunity of being drunk to confess to the woman he liked.
A man and a woman, alone in a room, and this man who prided himself on being calm was also drunk.
Getting drunk in front of someone he liked, Song Sinian didn’t believe that Xia Wenqing would stay indifferent.
At least a bit of courage to test Xu Zhenzhen should exist, and if not even that small amount of courage was there, then Xu Zhenzhen might as well marry someone else.
Zhao Xi, looking at Song Sinian’s somber tone, couldn’t help but shiver inside.
Thank goodness, the person he was targeting wasn’t him.
He could only pray that Xia Wenqing would show some spirit and make a decisive move on Xu Zhenzhen.
After all, it couldn’t always be the girl making the move, right?
Thinking this, Zhao Xi’s gaze shifted back to Song Sinian, "Sir, shall we do something more, like giving Xia Wenqing a hint or something?"
Unexpectedly, Song Sinian shook his head, "The timing is already perfect, now we just wait to see when the delicious dish will be served."
Thinking about these past few days, how Lu Zhaozhao had been constantly worrying about Xia Wenqing, his dark eyes couldn’t help but narrow.
If Xia Wenqing couldn’t handle even this, he wouldn’t mind stripping him naked and throwing him on Xu Zhenzhen’s bed.
The night deepened, dark as ink.
The next morning, Xia Wenqing had completely sobered up.
Thinking back to the night before, how he had been drunkenly making a scene and acting spoiled towards Xu Zhenzhen, he couldn’t help the throbbing in his temples.
He was utterly clueless about how to face Xu Zhenzhen after sobering up.
He had held and kissed her the day before; if Xu Zhenzhen didn’t blow up at him because of his drunkenness yesterday, what about today?
Would she settle the score after the fact?
It had not been easy to get Xu Zhenzhen to agree to be his temporary girlfriend, and now, just because of a few bottles of alcohol, the peace between them was broken.
Suddenly, Xia Wenqing somewhat regretted that what he had done the day before was too rash, but then he thought of Xu Zhenzhen’s soft lips...
This wasn’t their first kiss, yet it once again happened while he was drunk, only this time it was Xu Zhenzhen who had been drunk.
He had only intended to take care of her, but accidentally their lips met, and then everything progressed smoothly, kissing for a long time.
But once Xu Zhenzhen sobered up the next day, she would frantically run away every time she saw him.
At first, he didn’t notice, until later every time he tried to get close to her, she would dodge him, and that’s when he realized.
Xia Wenqing almost instinctively sensed that Xu Zhenzhen didn’t like what had happened between them while drunk.
Thus Xia Wenqing had to pretend as if nothing had happened and became the aloof senior once again.
He had hoped to slowly cultivate a relationship with Xu Zhenzhen later on, but unexpectedly, she suddenly vanished from school.
He looked for her for a long time until coming back to the country, and then he finally rediscovered her whereabouts.
That feeling of wistful loss, Song Si never wanted to experience it again in his life.
He did indeed want to take things a step further with Xu Zhenzhen, but he didn’t want to lose her over trying to advance their relationship, nor did he want to repeat past mistakes.
So, he found himself trapped in an indescribable sense of helplessness, wondering what exactly he needed to do to keep Xu Zhenzhen from leaving him.
"Thump thump thump!"
As Xia Wenqing was deep in thought, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
His heart skipped a beat, but his body preemptively opened the door, and sure enough, Xu Zhenzhen was standing right outside, staring straight at him.
Xu Zhenzhen held up the bag in her hand, "Big brother, do you want to have some breakfast?"
Xia Wenqing nodded slightly, making room for Xu Zhenzhen to come in.
Xu Zhenzhen’s eyebrows visibly furrowed as if she sensed his cold demeanor, but she didn’t say much and walked straight to the dining area.
She set the bag down on the table and started taking out the breakfast items she had bought.
Xia Wenqing sat opposite Xu Zhenzhen, and since she wasn’t speaking, he naturally chose silence as well.
For a time, the hotel room fell into an eerie silence until Xu Zhenzhen, seemingly unable to bear it anymore, slammed the table and stood up abruptly.
"Big brother, do you still remember what happened yesterday?"
Xia Wenqing didn’t dare to meet Xu Zhenzhen’s gaze and almost reflexively shook his head.
It seemed that Xu Zhenzhen was really angry about the events of the previous day. If he admitted that he remembered, she would probably slap him and then disappear from his sight again.
The thought of Xu Zhenzhen disappearing once more made Xia Wenqing unconsciously clench his fists, his whole body exuding a pressing chill.
Xu Zhenzhen gave Xia Wenqing a sidelong glance, "Yesterday, you..."
"I just remembered there’s a work schedule I haven’t finished. You can go back first and organize the materials, and we can talk about everything else later." Before Xu Zhenzhen could finish, Xia Wenqing stood up and started walking towards the bedroom, only to be pulled back by her.
Xu Zhenzhen’s eyebrows were almost knotted in frustration, "Big brother, are you avoiding me?"
Xia Wenqing still wouldn’t look into Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes, "No, why would I? Why would I need to avoid you? I just have a lot of work to deal with, that’s all."
His voice was as calm as always, yet it carried an indescribable guilt.
Xu Zhenzhen saw his evasive behavior and knew that he definitely remembered what had happened yesterday.
Was he regretting it now, thinking of retracting the position of his girlfriend as well?
As Xu Zhenzhen contemplated this, a weight settled in her chest, but she resolved to face it head-on.
She took a deep breath and blurted out, "Big brother, you have to take responsibility for me, after what happened yesterday..."
"?!!!"
Xia Wenqing looked at Xu Zhenzhen with utter shock, for he had thought she would despise him, yet here she was, asking him to take responsibility.
The unexpected fortune had felt so overwhelming that Xia Wenqing was almost moved to tears.
However, to Xu Zhenzhen, Xia Wenqing’s silence was tantamount to a rejection.
All of a sudden, Xu Zhenzhen felt a chilling disappointment, her eyelids drooping, "Big brother, I know what I said just now was a bit abrupt, and if you’re unwilling, let’s forget about it. You were drunk yesterday, and whatever happened doesn’t count."
As she spoke, she turned to leave, only to be abruptly pulled back by Xia Wenqing, "Why doesn’t it count?"
