Because only when she wasn't alone could she forget the pain that was dormant in the depths of her heart.
…
It was late at night in City A in England.
In a certain hotel suite, a man in a suit stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back. From this height, he could overlook the entire city.
This city of desire was devoid of the hustle and bustle of the day. At night, it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of charm that made it easy for people to indulge in it.
Liang Feifan's fingers twitched. He really wanted to smoke, but then he remembered that he had already quit smoking for five months.
Someone knocked on the door behind him. He didn't move and only said, "Come in." Soon, he heard someone push the door open and enter.
"Mr Liang."
Liang Feifan grunted. "Have you sent it over?"
"Yes."
"Bring it over." Liang Feifan turned around. For the past five months, it wasn't that he hadn't gone to England, but he hadn't gone to see her. However, there would still be people sending photos from there every day. In fact, he knew her every move clearly even though she was there.
How could he not ask about her?
Even though he knew that Buck had always been there and had already bought a property there, saying that the air in Oxford was good and he was prepared to stay there for a year and a half.
Guan Chao placed the yellow bag on the table and nodded. He never looked at the photos in advance, so he wasn't sure what the photos were about today. These were all photos that belonged to Mr Liang. He couldn't look at them.
After the door was closed, Liang Feifan strode over with his long legs and picked up the yellow bag. Without hesitation, he opened it and took out a thick stack of photos. It was just a glance, but his thick brows were already furrowed. After taking out a few more photos, his exquisite features seemed to have been covered in frost.
Bars overseas were different from bars in China.
In bars in China, drinking and dancing were mixed together. However, in England, drinking and dancing were two different things. The atmosphere was quite good.
Today was Demon's birthday. Many students came to celebrate with him. Although everyone came from different places, they had been attending classes together for five months. Naturally, they had a good relationship. Those who were able to enter the SGA were basically architects with some skills. They were all somewhat arrogant and would not easily admit defeat. However, they would also not use other methods to win. What they fancied were all open and aboveboard.
It was also because of this that everyone's feelings would not involve other factors.
Demon was a very cheerful person and had many friends. Because it was his birthday, everyone was very open. Bai Lu's alcohol tolerance was not very good. He drank and stopped halfway and even went to the bathroom a few times.
Demon was very gentlemanly. Seeing that she had drunk too much, he took advantage of the time when Bai Lu went to the bathroom to tell everyone that he would not force her to drink again. She still had homework to hand in tomorrow.
No matter which country one came from, love had always been the same. If a man liked a woman, his life would revolve around her every day. He would do everything he could to attract her attention. He could not bear to see her suffer and did not want to make her feel uncomfortable.
Perhaps the entire class knew that Demon had a special liking for this beautiful girl from China. However, Bai Lu was the only one who did not feel anything. She thought that this man was just a person with a bold and unrestrained personality.
Bai Lu washed her face in the bathroom and pulled out two pieces of tissue to wipe her wet cheeks. Her throat was sore and astringent. It was very uncomfortable. However, after washing her face, her mind became much clearer. There were two Chinese people standing next to her. Meeting people from another country in a foreign country, Bai Lu could not help but take a few more glances at them. The two girls were holding their phones and looking at something. Their faces were full of excitement and adoration.
Bai Lu did not take it to heart. After washing her hands and drying them, she prepared to leave the bathroom. Who knew that the moment she brushed past the two girls, she would unexpectedly discover that on their phones was a face that she was so familiar with deep in her soul. It was a handsome face that would repeatedly linger in her mind every night.
She subconsciously tightened her grip on her handbag and stopped in her tracks.
The phone screen was not small, and the words on it were densely packed. Although she could not see very clearly, the enlarged photo was exceptionally clear.
The two girls were probably from northern China. They spoke in their native language too quickly, so Bai Lu could not hear them clearly. However, she could roughly understand that they were talking about how handsome and charming the man in the photo was.
That man was — — Liang Feifan.
That photo was probably taken when Liang Feifan attended an event. Beside him stood an extremely enchanting woman. Bai Lu recognized her. She was Ye Lian. The two of them were intimately holding each other's arms. There were several small photos beside them. They were all of Liang Feifan and Ye Lian talking intimately. There were also a few photos of the soft contours of his side profile and his gentle eyes.
Five months. It turned out that she had already been in England for five months. However, only one-third of the 18 months had passed.
Bai Lu recalled the day when she left City A with Buck. She was all alone. When she arrived in England, it was just as Buck had said. Everything had been prepared for her. Whether it was accommodation, clothes, or daily necessities, Liang Feifan had specially arranged for someone to take care of them. Even the paperwork for SGA was handled by Buck.
Actually, whenever she returned to her apartment in England, the entire house seemed to be filled with Liang Feifan's scent. Therefore, she was especially afraid of nighttime. Whenever she lay in bed at night, she would always think of those days in City A.
It turned out that she had also persevered for five months. In these five months, there was no news from him. It was true. He did not give her any information at all. Back then, when she begged him — — Let me go. Let me take a breather. Was that what she really hoped for?
That the two of them had completely broken up?
Or had she always thought that he couldn't bear to let go of her hand, just like how she couldn't bear to let go of him?
But now, she felt that she had misunderstood the power of her X-ray vision.
It had been five months. He had not even called her once. Every month, he would inform her about her mother's situation in City A through Buck. He was really determined to give her some space so that she could take a breather. But what he didn't expect was that his life in City A was so enjoyable.
…
Bai Lu bit her lip. Once her emotions fluctuated, the alcohol that she had been suppressing seemed to follow suit. She felt that her throat was a little dry and there was a dull pain in her heart. Instinctively, she tightened her grip on her bag. Just then, her cell phone rang.
She took a deep breath and walked quickly to the bathroom door. She saw Demon holding his cell phone. He was probably the one who had called her. Sure enough, when he saw Bai Lu come out, he hung up and walked quickly to her. "Leng, you don't look too good. Did you drink too much?"
Bai Lu did not feel like talking. She waved her hand with a gloomy expression.
Demon thought that she had really drunk too much. His well-defined features were full of worry and self-reproach. "Sorry, I didn't know that your alcohol tolerance was so bad. Let me send you back …"
"I'm fine."
Bai Lu interrupted him. "I'm not drunk. I don't want to go back yet."
"…"
If she went back, she would be alone in her apartment. She would look at the things she was sitting, using, eating, and wearing. They were all prepared for her by her husband who was far away in A City. However, she could not see or hear him. Even refreshing the news about him seemed to have become a taboo. However, he was living a carefree life in A City.
Bai Lu knew that she had chosen this path. But when she made the choice, didn't they already have a tacit understanding?
She had never really thought of leaving him or giving up on him. Even if she had never said it out loud, did he know how much courage she needed to take this step?
She had suffered. She thought that he would suffer as much as she did. But unexpectedly, he didn't!
No woman would be indifferent after seeing such a scene. Moreover, they had not contacted each other for … five months.
"Don't drink later. Let's eat." Demon saw that she did not look well. But since she said that she did not want to go home, he naturally could not ask for more. He quickly said, "There's cake. Let's eat cake. Eat something sweet. "
Bai Lu forced a smile. She did not refuse and allowed Demon to pull her back to the booth. Many of her classmates were almost done drinking. A few who had too much to drink immediately served more wine when they saw Bai Lu coming over.
Demon waved his hand at the side and shouted, "She can't drink anymore! Lu, she drank too much. She can't hold her liquor well. Today is my birthday. I have the final say! "
However, the more he defended Bai Lu, the more the others wanted to kick up a fuss. In addition, Bai Lu was in a gloomy mood. She did not reject the wine that others handed her. After a few glasses, she felt a little light-headed. In the end, the group of people started playing games again. They were really high. Demon himself had been forced to drink too much. He was like a clay Buddha crossing a river. Bai Lu was also drunk.
…
Later on, Bai Lu did not know when the birthday party ended. When she left the bar, she did not know who sent her back to the apartment. She usually did not get close to people. Demon knew where she lived, but he was drunk today. Bai Lu only remembered that someone helped her into the car and out of the car.
She swayed all the way. When she got out of the car, the cold wind hit her face. She could not take it anymore. She leaned against the tree in front of the house and vomited for a while. Someone handed her a bottle of water. Bai Lu did not think much. She reached out and took it. She twisted it open, tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and drank half the bottle in one go. His wife was too fierce.
However, her stomach felt like there was a fire burning. It was uncomfortable.
But she had already vomited. She squatted by the tree and reached out to touch her cheek. She was not in a hurry to stand up. Although she was very drunk, she was much more sober now that she vomited. Looking at her surroundings, she knew that she was already in front of her house. She did not raise her head to look at the person standing beside her.
It should be her classmate.
She put the water aside, hugged her knees with both hands, and sat on the ground. She raised her hand and waved. "Thank you. I'll go in after getting some fresh air at the door. Thank you for sending me back. It's not convenient today, so I won't invite you in. "
