He lowered his head even more, trying his best to look as graceful as he could while eating the cake. However, somewhere she couldn't see, there was a tear that he couldn't control. It fell on the cream of the cake, creating a small dent.
Su Zhinian finished the cake on his plate before putting the fork down. He lowered his head to calm his trembling heart before leaning back into the sofa. He slowly raised his eyes to look at Song Qingchun, who was sitting across from him.
There was only a small piece of cake left on Song Qingchun's plate. She picked up the fork and shoved it into her mouth. She realized he was looking at her, so she mumbled something at him. However, he didn't understand her because she had something in her mouth, so she didn't continue. She smiled at him with puffed lips before swallowing the cake in her mouth. She picked up the glass of hot milk tea to take a sip, cleared her throat, and added, "I was just saying, I'm already full from the cake, so I can't eat these dishes anymore. What a waste."
Su Zhinian stared at Song Qingchun for a long time before replying, "It's fine."
"But, I can't just leave them all alone, right? That makes me feel bad." Song Qingchun stared at the untouched dishes and frowned with annoyance.
Su Zhinian stared unblinkingly at Song Qingchun's troubled face and didn't say anything.
"How about …" Song Qingchun realized Su Zhinian didn't know how to cook, so she raised her head to look at him and asked in a negotiating tone, "… You can take them home?"
Su Zhinian didn't nod or shake his head but continued to stare at her.
Song Qingchun was confused by his stare. Her brows twitched, and she was about to ask Su Zhinian what was wrong when Su Zhinian suddenly called her name. "Qingchun."
His voice wasn't high, but it was laced with a chilling sincerity. Song Qingchun's heart skipped a beat, and after a while, she replied, "Hmm?"
Su Zhinian didn't rush to answer but continued to stare at her quietly. Just as Song Qingchun thought he wasn't going to say anything, he said, "Qingchun …"
He called her name again. His voice was much softer than before. This time, he did not pause, but the light in his eyes became extremely serious. "… I'm sorry."
The sudden apology stunned Song Qingchun. She uttered a confused "Huh?" Then she blinked at Su Zhinian and asked, "Sorry about what?"
Su Zhinian did not answer Song Qingchun's question but repeated the "I'm sorry". His expression and tone were so serious that Song Qingchun's posture became even more serious.
She didn't ask why and just stared at him. After about ten seconds, he said, "I'm really sorry for what happened six years ago."
He had always wanted to apologize to her.
He really didn't mean to hurt her that night.
However, too many things had happened six years ago, and he had never been able to sincerely apologize to her.
Six years ago yesterday … Even though Su Zhinian put it so succinctly, Song Qingchun understood he was referring to the night he forced himself on her six years ago when he was drunk.
