This was because in that dream, those screams had drained him of all the pain and love that he had accumulated over the years. It had drained every ounce of energy in his body.
Ever since they had parted ways five years ago, he had been having these dreams every now and then, until she moved into his home. Now that he thought about it, it had been almost two months since he last had this dream. Who would have thought that he would have it again tonight?
The suffocating heartache from the dream was still lingering in his chest. His hand, which was on the sink, couldn't help but grip the hard marble surface.
When Song Qingchun heard the bathroom door open, she immediately stood up from the sofa to look at Su Zhinian.
The man had washed his face, and the two strands of hair that fell from his forehead were dripping with water. They accentuated his chiseled features, giving him a sense of unparalleled sexiness.
Su Zhinian obviously did not expect Song Qingchun to still be in the living room. When he saw her, there was shock in his eyes. "Why aren't you asleep?"
Then, Su Zhinian walked to the bar by the door to grab a bottle of red wine. He pried open the cork and pulled out a goblet from the cupboard.
"I can't sleep …" Following Song Qingchun's answer, she saw Su Zhinian pour the wine, and she frowned. "It's already so late, are you still going to drink?"
This was a habit that he had developed over the years. Whenever he had a dream about her, he would have to drink some wine to suppress the raging emotions in his heart.
Su Zhinian replied with a nasal "hmm", and his hand that was pouring the wine suddenly stopped.
He had told her that he would not drink again … and twice, it was because of alcohol that he had offended her …
Actually, his alcohol tolerance was not bad, but …
For the sake of safety, Su Zhinian put the wine down and walked back to the sofa empty-handed. He sat down gracefully and leaned back into the sofa. He closed his eyes silently and tried to calm down his raging emotions.
He poured the wine, but why isn't he drinking it?
Song Qingchun looked at Su Zhinian with surprise and then at the half-filled goblet. She looked at it several times before the realization hit her.
When he told her that he wouldn't touch her, he also said that he wouldn't drink anymore … So when she asked him if he was going to drink so late at night, did he remember his promise?
Did he have a bad dream and was in a bad mood, so he wanted to drink?
Actually, he wouldn't get drunk if he drank a little, but he did it to make her feel at ease, right?
It was just like how he had let her stay in the hotel alone in the beginning, and then he brought his blanket to the living room to sleep …
The floor lamp was just behind Su Zhinian. The white light fell on his face, blurring his features.
Song Qingchun stared at him for a long time before asking, "Are you still sleepy?"
Su Zhinian opened his eyes to look at her.
Song Qingchun added, "I haven't been able to sleep, and I'm in a bad mood. If you're not sleepy, why don't we talk?"
A trace of flattery crossed Su Zhinian's eyes. After a pause, he replied calmly, "Okay."
Song Qingchun smiled but didn't hurry to sit down. Instead, she walked to the bar counter and placed the bottle of red wine and the half-filled goblet back on the coffee table. She even grabbed an empty goblet along the way.
