Chapter 379: Chapter 378 Let’s Get Divorced (10)

Ling Yunshu took a seat at the nearby booth, merely gazing at Shi Che in a dazed stupor, watching him drown in alcohol, his sorrow, and his unbearable pain over Ling Chuxia, just like that night when she hid by the door, listening to him confess his feelings to Ling Chuxia, pouring out his heart.

Indeed, she was supposed to be the leading lady of his life, yet now she was nothing more than an insignificant spectator. How could she content herself with that?

Shi Che had no idea how long he had been drinking. His consciousness grew blurrier, but the vivid image in his mind remained, refusing to be shaken off. The more he tried to forget, the more he tried to rid himself of it, the deeper and clearer the memories became, and the more painful his heart felt.

It felt as if his chest was densely pierced by fine needles, spreading pain throughout his body, limbs, and bones. It hurt so much that even breathing became difficult. He could only keep drinking, trying to numb himself with the alcohol.

In the end, Shi Che drank more frantically, faster and faster. It seemed he felt a surge of nausea and suddenly bent over. With a splash, he vomited violently, as if he was trying to expel all his internal organs.

Ling Yunshu had never seen Shi Che in such a disheveled state. Her heart clenched tightly, and she couldn’t contain herself any longer. She stood up and walked towards him.

But before she could reach him, Shi Che stopped vomiting and, with difficulty, propped himself up, then leaned back against the sofa, closing his eyes in discomfort.

Ling Yunshu’s steps paused, thinking Shi Che would continue drinking, but after closing his eyes, he didn’t move again. Ling Yunshu waited a while, and then she was certain that Shi Che was genuinely drunk.

She watched Shi Che and cautiously approached him, step by step, sitting beside him. Each movement was so gentle, so slow, as if afraid of waking him. Finally, seated beside him, smelling the strong scent of alcohol on him, Ling Yunshu’s heart began to race uncontrollably.

After three years, she could finally be so close to Shi Che again.

Her gaze slowly fell upon Shi Che’s face. Even though he was drunk, even though his appearance was somewhat disheveled, his handsome features were still breathtaking, still suffocating.

Ling Yunshu’s heart trembled slightly, her breathing becoming erratic. She slowly reached out her hand, wanting to gently touch Shi Che’s face. However, just as her hand was about to make contact, for some reason, Shi Che’s brow suddenly furrowed, and he turned his face aside to the other side.

Ling Yunshu’s hand hung mid-air, and then, her fingers gradually became stiff, slowly clenching into a fist.

Even if... even if he was drunk to the point of senselessness, should it be... he wouldn’t let her come close at all?

In his heart, could she really not occupy even a tiny spot?

Moisture once again welled up in Ling Yunshu’s eyes as she looked at Shi Che, her gaze gradually filling with resentment and sorrow. She lowered her eyes and inadvertently caught sight of Shi Che’s phone on the table.

Her gaze involuntarily locked onto the phone, her eyes slowly narrowing.

After the doctor left, Ling Chuxia fell back into a drowsy sleep. When she woke up again, the night had deepened. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before she abruptly remembered... she was supposed to meet Shi Che...

Damn, she had an unexpected car accident and was rushed to the hospital, too groggy to think of Shi Che. Could he still be waiting for her at the restaurant?
