Su Li was thoroughly intoxicated, slumped over the bar. Lin Qing wanted to urge her to go home, but seeing how dejected she was, she decided it was best to let her collect herself for a moment and remained by her side.
She was not the only one who had drunk too much; Lu Xiuyun was in the same state nearby. Alcohol flowed through his veins, blurring his judgment while simultaneously amplifying the emotions deep within his heart. Driven by the intoxication, he acted on an impulse: he decided to go over to Su Li and settle things once and for all.
His mind held only one thought: to tell her that he loved her—loved her so very much—and that his love was no less than Shen Ye's. He wanted to beg her to give him a chance. He was terrified of losing her, even though he had never truly possessed her heart. He just wanted to fight for himself for once. Regardless of the outcome, at least he would have no regrets.
