Chapter 196 Do you think I'm a nuisance?
Yu Yuetong walked into the bar, found a corner seat, and ordered the strongest drink.
"Beautiful lady, all alone?" A greasy voice suddenly rang in her ear.
Yu Yuetong turned her head and saw a lewd-looking man staring at her with a lewd grin.
"Get out!" Yu Yuetong cursed without any politeness.
"Wow, it's pretty spicy!" The man wasn't angry at all; instead, he became even more excited. "I like it!"
As he spoke, the man reached out and touched Yu Yuetong's face.
"Snapped!"
Yu Yuetong slapped the man hard across the face.
"You bitch, you dare hit me?!" the man roared, covering his face. "Do you even know who I am?!"
"I don't care who you are!" Yu Yuetong sneered. "If you dare to harass me again, believe me, I'll make you regret it!"
The man was startled by Yu Yuetong's imposing manner, but he quickly recovered and pointed at Yu Yuetong's nose, cursing, "You filthy bitch, you just wait!"
After saying that, the man slunk away.
Yu Yuetong watched the man's retreating figure, gave a disdainful snort, and continued drinking.
One glass after another, Yu Yuetong soon became completely drunk.
"Qin Reng, you bastard..." Yu Yuetong lay on the table, muttering incessantly, "Why don't you believe me? Why?!"
"I just like you, so what?!" Yu Yuetong suddenly raised her head and shouted loudly at the air, "I love you, I love you, I love you..."
Everyone else in the bar looked at her strangely, but Yu Yuetong didn't care anymore. All she wanted to do now was vent her grievances and frustrations.
"Hiccup..." Yu Yuetong hiccuped, looking around at everything with a dazed expression.
Suddenly, her gaze fixed on a familiar figure.
"Qin...Qin Reng?" Yu Yuetong rubbed her eyes, looking at the person in front of her in disbelief.
What is Qin Reng doing here?
Qin Reng stood a short distance away, hands in his pockets, expressionless. Shadows cast a deep shadow on his face, making it impossible to discern his emotions. His presence was like a moment of tranquility in the noisy bar, as if everything around him had stopped for a moment.
Yu Yuetong almost instinctively stood up from her chair, nearly falling over. Seeing this, Qin Reng stepped forward and steadily supported her.
"What are you doing here?" Yu Yuetong's eyes were blurry with drunkenness, but her tone was defiant and sarcastic. Alcohol amplified her courage, and her words carried a hint of provocation.
"I'm here to find a crazy woman who drinks recklessly." Qin Reng's voice was deep and magnetic, but tinged with a hint of helplessness. He glanced around, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "It's not safe here. What are you thinking?"
"Crazy woman?" Yu Yuetong was furious upon hearing those three words. "Then why are you interfering with me?"
Qin Reng's lips twitched slightly as he took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger burning within him. He knew that dealing with the drunken Yu Yuetong would only make things worse. "Forget it, let's go," he said softly, attempting to persuade her to leave.
"I'm not leaving!" Yu Yuetong threw a tantrum, shaking off his hand and sitting back in her chair, still feeling uncomfortable. She was incredibly extreme, determined to push things to the most extreme possible direction.
The alcohol was taking effect, and her consciousness was already blurred, but she clearly felt that sense of grievance slowly seeping into her entire body. Yu Yuetong continued, "Why should I leave just because you tell me to? I haven't had enough to drink yet!"
Qin Reng frowned, and in a fit of pique, he tried to carry her away, but he knew that would only make things worse. "Do you really have to get drunk?" he asked, his voice filled with undisguised concern. "It's bad for your health."
“This wasn’t my body to begin with,” Yu Yuetong muttered in despair, barely audible to anyone. She waved her hand, trying to shut herself out, but not wanting to expose herself to loneliness and solitude.
"I know you're upset," Qin Reng's tone softened, his attitude more gentle, "but there's always a better way to resolve this, isn't there?"
Yu Yuetong didn't answer, seemingly lost in her own thoughts. After a while, she bit her lower lip and looked away, avoiding Qin Reng's gaze.
Instantly, the lights on the bar stage blazed, and the music blared deafeningly, as if unleashing their passion and revelry with maximum force. This environment was completely out of place with their current mood, as if they were in two entirely different worlds.
Qin Reng sighed softly, and finally whispered in Yu Yuetong's ear, "Yu Yuetong, I'll take you home, okay?"
At this moment, Yu Yuetong's heart was filled with contradictions. On one hand, she was annoyed by her own vulnerability, but on the other hand, she longed for Qin Reng's tenderness. She didn't know if this emotional struggle would continue in the future, but she was really too tired tonight.
Yu Yuetong finally gave in and nodded gently, knowing that Qin Reng's shoulder was the only support she could rely on at that moment.
Seeing that she was finally willing to cooperate, Qin Reng relaxed, relieved of some of his tension. He never expected that a single sentence could sway her. He slightly smiled, carefully pulled her into his arms, and slowly walked out of the noisy, brightly lit place.
As they left, in the darkness outside the bar, a pair of eyes quietly watched the moment end. In the dim light, those eyes revealed a meaningful look, belonging to a former lover who was still unwilling to give up.
Tonight's drunken night seems to be a new fuse for their complicated relationship, ultimately igniting another spiraling abyss.
On the way home, Yu Yuetong, slightly drunk, leaned against Qin Reng's shoulder, her occasional sweet fragrance stimulating his senses. The air inside the car seemed to become humid because of her intoxication, and unconsciously, Qin Reng's gaze was mixed with a touch of pity and helplessness. He carefully adjusted her posture, feeling slightly uncomfortable with this intimate contact, yet unwilling to push her away.
"Do you think I'm a nuisance?" Yu Yuetong asked softly, her eyes gazing dreamily at the night view outside the window, which resembled shooting stars. She felt like she was a woman who always had problems and was always causing him trouble.
"Troublesome?" Qin Reng smiled and gently smoothed her hair. "If I found it troublesome, I wouldn't have gotten involved with you in the first place."
His answer was as calm and composed as ever, as if some immense strength was supporting him in facing everything before him. Yu Yuetong was somewhat unaccustomed to his steadfastness, and a subtle warmth rose within her.
“I was just worried about you,” Qin Reng continued, his tone softening considerably. “Drinking so much isn’t good.”
"I know." Yu Yuetong's voice softened, as if she had instantly lost all her fighting spirit. After saying this, she fell into a deep sleep. Under the combined effects of alcohol and fatigue, she drifted into a dream like a machine suddenly unplugged, infinitely quiet.
