144. Undeserving of Happiness
At half past seven, He Jin's eyelids twitched slightly as he slowly regained consciousness.
He had been woken up by his biological clock, but his entire body seemed to have fallen apart. He lay paralyzed on the bed, refusing to listen to his brain, especially his waist and lower limbs. He could not exert any strength at all.
"Ouch …" He managed to move his body, but his limbs protested. He Jin furrowed his brows and half-opened his eyes. Even his eyelids were swollen.
"God …" After realizing what had happened to his body, He Jin's face was drained of all color!
After he had drunk himself unconscious at the bar, he had been taken to a hotel by a strange man, and he had actually thought that the other party was Qin Yang!
Yes, he had had an erotic dream that night. He dreamed that he was doing it with Qin Yang. They were crazy and indulgent. He Jin was completely immersed in the abyss of desire, unable to extricate himself.
"God … God …" He Jin rubbed his face with both hands. He had really gone crazy!
Ignoring the pain all over his body, He Jin struggled to sit up on the bed. The soft down quilt slid off his shoulders, revealing his naked body.
Who was that person? Why did he target him? When did he leave …
Could it be … Qin Yang?
He Jin was shocked by his own bold guess. He raised his hand to cover his mouth. That was not possible. Qin Yang had not contacted him for three years. Although he had been in City Q yesterday, he was a celebrity and must have been very busy. How could he have had the time to look for him? Moreover, he had been taken away at a bar yesterday after getting drunk. How could Qin Yang have appeared in that kind of place? He Jin still had a vague impression in his mind. He remembered the smell of cigarettes in that person's mouth. He guessed that the person was a smoker, but Qin Yang did not smoke.
He Jin's brain was about to explode. He grabbed his scalp in pain, not knowing what to do.
Looking around, he could tell that this was a very high-class hotel room. However, the man who had slept with him had long since disappeared. The floor was a mess. His clothes and pants were scattered everywhere. There was also a roughly torn condom box. All of this showed how crazy he had been last night …
He Jin lifted the quilt in embarrassment and got out of bed. His legs were so weak that he almost couldn't stand. Especially when he got up … that kind of heat flowed down his thighs … God! He Jin's face alternated between red and white. He wished he could bang his head against the wall!
In the past twenty-seven years, he thought that the craziest thing he had ever experienced was meeting Qin Yang, but he never expected that he would have such a day. Even now, he still couldn't remember who the person he had slept with was!
He Jin found his bracelet in the pile of clothes on the ground. There were more than 30 missed calls on it. He Jin did not like to use a ringtone, so he set it to vibrate. He did not know if the man pretended not to hear it or if the bracelet was covered by the clothes, but the vibrating sound did not come out, and all the calls were ignored.
Most of the calls were from home, and there was also a call from Duan Shurong. There were also some unread messages that He Jin didn't have time to read. He quickly called home first.
"Hello!" The phone rang before it was picked up. It was his mother's voice. "He Jin! Is that you? Where have you been! "
"Yes, Mom …" He Jin said. His voice was unexpectedly hoarse. "I …"
"What happened to you!?" He Jin's mother could tell that there was something wrong with her son's voice. Her attitude immediately changed from anger to nervousness and worry. "How did your voice become like this?!"
He Jin's head was spinning. He did not have time to think of a perfect lie, so he half-truthfully said, "Last night, I went drinking alone. I drank a little late and got drunk. I was afraid that I would disturb you when I came back, but I didn't want you to worry, so I stayed in a hotel alone … I fell asleep as soon as I arrived at the hotel. I didn't even have time to call you."
He Jin's mother was angry and anxious. "Why did you go drinking alone?!"
He Jin was silent for a moment. "Mom, I think I'm a failure."
He Jin's mother said, "Why did you …"
"Mom," He Jin interrupted her and said in a daze, "I've gone on so many blind dates in the past three years. I've seen all kinds of girls, but none of them have succeeded. I also want to find a better girl and be with her peacefully. I want to get married and make you happy. But why is it so difficult …" Thinking of everything that happened last night, He Jin could no longer hold it in. The mask and armor that he had worn for three years were shattered at this moment. A wave of despair welled up in his heart. Even his tone revealed a strong sense of pessimism. "Mom, are you destined to be unworthy of being loved, unworthy of happiness …"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The woman on the other end of the phone seemed to have never expected that her son, who had matured and no longer needed her to worry about him, would have such thoughts! She could not bring herself to criticize him. At this moment, she only wanted to comfort He Jin. "Did that Miss Duan say something to you yesterday? You didn't come back last night, so I called her. She said she had a good impression of you and wanted to interact more with you … He Jin, what's wrong with you? What happened? "
"You called Duan Shurong?" He Jin was stunned. Did Duan Shurong really say that to his mother?
He Jin's mother said, "Yes, didn't you say you were going to have dinner with her? We waited for you until ten, but you didn't come home. We called you, but you didn't come home, so we called that girl. She said you separated after dinner. She thought you went home …"
He Jin was puzzled. He lied to his mother about having dinner with Duan Shurong. Duan Shurong did not expose him?
He Jin's mother said, "Did you drink too much and let your imagination run wild? Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Hurry up and come home! "
After hanging up, He Jin went back to look at the missed calls. At 10: 10 last night, Duan Shurong had called him. According to the time, it was indeed after his mother called her, she called him again.
It was not even eight o 'clock. He Jin was not sure if the other party had woken up. He wanted to send a text message to Duan Shurong first, but when he clicked on the message interface, he was stunned.
There was a new text message on the interface from an unknown number. It was sent an hour ago at 6: 44 in the morning. There were only four words in the text message — "Rest well."
He Jin panicked. The person who would send him such a text message at this time … was it the man from last night?
He suddenly thought of the person he shouldn't think about, but he was afraid that he would guess wrongly. He didn't dare to call or text back to confirm.
He Jin hurriedly went online to check the phone number. When he saw the name "City A" popped up on the webpage, He Jin's heart immediately beat wildly!
Qin Yang … Was it Qin Yang?
He Jin trembled all over and kept praying in his heart. If, if it really was Qin Yang, then no matter what Qin Yang did to him, he would not blame him. He was willing to do it.
Relying on this "fantasy," He Jin seemed to have regained some strength. He propped himself up and walked into the bathroom. Before going back, he had to take a good shower.
Looking at himself in the mirror in the bathroom covered in red marks, He Jin's face burned again. He turned on the shower and washed away all kinds of sticky body fluids on his body. He felt a tingling pain on his shoulder. He Jin looked at it and realized that it had been bitten …
This … Did he have to go to the hospital for a tetanus shot?
After taking a shower, He Jin put on his clothes. He was so tired that he almost collapsed.
His wallet and various identity cards were still in his clothes. He Jin took out the room card for electricity. When he saw the words on the room card, he realized that he was staying in the best hotel in City Q.
He braced himself and went to the front desk to return the room card. At the same time, he asked the front desk staff about the person who had booked the room. The front desk staff looked at him curiously and said, "This room has been paid for. The person who paid for it is a Ms. Li. She came over this morning and paid for the room by half a day. You can stay until six o 'clock tonight. Are you sure you want to check out now? We won't refund the overpayment. "
He Jin nodded with a pale face. He returned the room card and turned to leave.
He didn't know any Ms. Li at all. In that case, other than that mysterious man, there was a third person who knew that they were in the room last night … He Jin didn't dare to think about it. He wanted to confirm whether that person was Qin Yang or not.
On the way home, He Jin's wristband vibrated. He quickly opened it and saw that it was from Duan Shurong.
"He Jin, your mom called me last night. Did you lie to her and say that you had dinner with me? Although I don't know why you lied to her, I helped you cover up the lie. Tell me how you should thank me. "
He Jin thought for a moment and replied, "I'm sorry to drag you into this. I drank a little last night and didn't go home. I'm only going back now. However, if you encounter such things in the future, you better not help me cover up the lie. If something really happens to me, you'll be the last acquaintance to see me. That won't be good for you. "
Duan Shurong quickly replied, "I'm going to faint … Hey, He Jin, are you always so considerate?"
He Jin: "I'm telling the truth, but I still have to thank you. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Duan Shurong: "That's what I wanted to hear."
He Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He recalled what her mom had said over the phone and couldn't help but ask, "You told my mom that you have a good impression of me? You want to get to know me better? "
Duan Shurong: "Yeah, I thought about your situation after I came back. I think I should give you a chance. Otherwise, it'll be quite pitiful if you can't get over it. Maybe after you get together with me, you'll forget about your previous relationship!"
He Jin smiled bitterly. He didn't know if this lady was too stubborn or confident.
It wasn't that he hadn't looked forward to meeting the right person, someone who could make him fall in love at first sight and let go of his past. However, he hadn't yet. It wasn't that he wasn't willing to take that step.
Before this, there had been people like Duan Shurong who had told him, "I don't care about your past. We can give it a try." However, that kind of attempt was a form of moral torture for He Jin.
Every detail of his interactions with another person would remind him of Qin Yang and make him compare them. After that, he would convict himself … He wasn't afraid of the present, but of the future. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to change his past for the rest of his life. He had hastily started a relationship with a girl, going against his conscience and wasting away someone else's feelings and youth. He Jin couldn't do such a thing no matter what.
He didn't know how to explain it to Duan Shurong now. He couldn't explain it clearly in a text message. He thought about it.
