Chapter 201 Speaking the truth while drunk
After hearing this, Li Zhen thought about the watch Lu Xingchen bought and roughly guessed whose birthday it was. "He will know it in his heart."
Lu Xingchen just smiled and turned to look at him, "Can I drink enough today?"
Li Zhen felt that she was very pitiful. Yes, after the reunion, even though she seemed indestructible, he always felt sorry for her.
She was never able to play when she wanted to play, or rest when she wanted to rest, like her peers. She left home at the age of nineteen, and in her twenties she shouldered a huge debt for her parents, and all these gains and losses and mistakes should have had nothing to do with her.
But she was still forced to take on everything. Even when she wanted to drown her sorrows in alcohol, she just carried her birthday present and the wine and walked away. If he hadn't sent someone to follow her recently, he wouldn't have discovered that she finally just carried the wine back to the community where her mother lived and hid in this corner to drink secretly.
The person who should have been free and easy lived cautiously, but still could not find peace.
Li Zhen clinked his wine can with hers and said, "Drink it. I'll help you look after your mother and take you home."
Lu Xingchen smiled, "Then don't drink anymore, or you'll get drunk before I do."
Li Zhen: "I'll drink slowly, you can do whatever you want."
"Thank you." Lu Xingchen said this and then said nothing else. He didn't keep drinking. He just looked at the bridge and the river in the distance and drank sip by sip.
There was not much emotion on her face, but it was not hard to see how depressed she was.
Of course, it was not difficult to see that she could drink a lot. If he drank like her, he would definitely be drunk. But she continued to drink for half an hour before turning to ask him:
"Are you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Accidents will come before tomorrow."
Li Zhen's heart ached when he heard her talk about this. What kind of fear did she have in her heart?
Lu Xingchen added, "I thought this kind of separation was already very painful, but I suddenly felt panicked when I heard that he had a serious illness. I always wanted to make decent achievements and stand out for him, but I never thought about whether he would wait forever, because he has been waiting for me since I can remember, like a mountain that will never fall."
Li Zhen felt sorry for her and thought of his father, remembering clearly that he had been gone for fifteen years.
Li Zhen: "I was still young at that time, and my father left so suddenly. I had to bear more of the difficulties of life after he left. I saw more of my mother's hard work and the pity of my younger brothers and sisters.
After I was able to support my family and achieve something, I thought how nice it would be if he could live the life I gave him. I wanted him to know that I helped him realize his entrepreneurial dream.
I reflected this regret of wanting to take care of my parents but they are no longer around on my mother. I gave her the best of everything and a lot of money, but she said that she would only be happy if I was doing well. "
He looked at Lu Xingchen and said, "The greatest wish of someone who loves you must be that you live a happy life."
Lu Xingchen looked at him like a child listening to an adult's reasoning.
After he finished speaking, she sat back quietly and looked at the river. After a while, she turned around and asked him, "Do you want to hug me again?"
Li Zhen didn't expect her to ask this. He held his breath for a moment and asked, "Are you drunk?"
"No." She shook her head. "I was just worrying too much and forgot that you lost your father really early. I always felt sorry for you for not having a father."
Li Zhen could see that she was drunk, "Then how can I still hug you?"
"Of course." Lu Xingchen stretched out his arms towards him, but then felt that he was too tall to hug, "Wait a moment."
She withdrew her hand and tried to stand up, but found that she couldn't. She supported herself on her knees with her hands and tried to stand up, but still couldn't.
"Wait a minute, I'll hug you when I stand up."
She leaned on the grass with her hands and climbed up, throwing her bag behind her. She straightened up and stretched out her hands to him again, "Come, hold me."
Let her at least stand firmly first, Li Zhen stood up, feeling both amused and helpless.
When Lu Xingchen saw how big the person in front of him was, and then compared it with the width of his own arms open, he decisively opened his arms.
"Come on, just treat me as your dad and hug me as much as you want."
Li Zhen laughed, all emotion and motivation gone, he still walked forward and pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
The moment she fell into his broad embrace, Lu Xingchen was stunned for a long time, then grabbed the clothes around his waist and pulled them back, "No."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't hold me like this. I'm your dad and I'm the one holding you." She said and tried to pull her hand free.
A low laugh came from Li Zhen's chest, and his hands held her tighter.
She was serious, but he actually laughed? Lu Xingchen frowned, "I told you not to hug me like this."
Li Zhen's voice softened, "Then you can treat me as your father and let me hold you, okay?"
The person in his arms was quiet for a while, then burst out laughing, "You are not my dad, you smell like Li Zhen."
Li Zhen was once again caught off guard by her words, "Then... Can Li Zhen hold you?"
"No." She answered quickly, but the hand on his waist did not push him away. She just said again, "No."
Her voice had a distinct nasal tone.
Li Zhen's heart tightened and he lowered his head to try to see her face clearly.
Lu Xingchen buried his face in his chest and sniffed hard.
Although she didn't say it, he felt that some answers were about to come out. Li Zhen lowered his voice and asked, "Why can't I hug you?"
"Because you don't like me."
Li Zhen's breath caught in his throat. "I like you."
"You said you liked me today, but you can ignore me tomorrow. It was you who said you wanted to be together again, but you can keep ignoring my calls as long as you want. You can keep ignoring my explanations as long as you don't believe me. When I told myself to give up and say you were just taking revenge, you came to me and said you wanted to be with me again."
Li Zhen was shocked and at a loss. He thought she didn't like him, but he didn't expect that she had such grievances in her heart, "Xingchen..."
"I get tired too." Lu Xingchen suddenly sobbed, and his thin shoulders began to tremble. "I know I didn't do well. I didn't make you feel safe, and I didn't make the people around me live well, but I also used all my strength... Sometimes I also want to take a break. Can't I just take a break?"
"Okay." Li Zhen pressed her against his chest, "I'll wait for you no matter how long you rest here."
"No..." Lu Xingchen pushed him away forcefully. Although she couldn't push him away, she said stubbornly, "I have nothing left. I will only cause you trouble."
"Having you is enough."
"My dad also said that having me is enough for him." Lu Xingchen raised her head from his arms with great effort and said incoherently, "He said that I am his most beloved child and his pride, but my name is Xingchen..." Her tears fell even faster, "My name is Xingchen!"
Li Zhen didn't know what she wanted to say, so he didn't answer her and just told her firmly: "You will always be my only one."
Lu Xingchen suddenly burst into tears, "The stars are not the only ones, the moon is. You will also have your own Heart Moon in the future, and the Heart Moon is unique."
