Chapter 197: Chapter 198: Drunk

“After my brother passed away, my sister-in-law was left alone to take care of two kids, with my mother-in-law offering no help. Life was tough for her.

At that time, I vowed to treat my sister-in-law and my brother’s children well, to honor my brother’s last wish when he took my hand, desperately pleading with me.

My sister-in-law is also quite a good person, and she took good care of me. Initially, I felt like she was just like my own mother.

But gradually, I realized that my feelings for her had changed. Back then, I worked hard to earn money, hoping to provide her with a complete family.

Now, it’s all pointless to discuss this since she doesn’t want to be with me. Let it be,” Wu Qingsong said, squinting his eyes, his face full of drunkenness.

Seeing him like that, Gu Fuying felt a pang of heartache and rushed over to snatch the bottle from Wu Qingsong’s hand, saying angrily, “Stop drinking.

It’s just a broken heart. I was in a relationship for years only to be betrayed and cheated on, and then he conspired with his friends to defile me. What’s your loss compared to mine?”

Perhaps empathizing with each other’s emotions, Wu Qingsong looked at Gu Fuying in surprise, “Really, really?”

With teary eyes, Gu Fuying nodded.

A drunk Wu Qingsong stood up and steadied himself on Gu Fuying’s shoulder, saying, “You’re even more pitiful than me, that guy is a bastard.

You tell me who it is, and I, your Brother Song, will beat him up for you to take out some of your anger.”

Gu Fuying wiped away her tears and looked at the swaying, standing Wu Qingsong, bursting into laughter, “You? Look at the shape you’re in, they’d knock you down with just one punch.”

Wu Qingsong slapped the dining table, “Impossible, I, Wu Qingsong, am the toughest.”

Gu Fuying looked at him with fond exasperation, “Alright, alright, you’re the toughest. So, tomorrow you’ll help me beat him up, okay?”

Wu Qingsong nodded.

Then he turned to Huo Chen, picked up a glass of water, and foolishly poured a few pieces of vegetable into it, saying, “Brother Chen, I toast to you.

These past years, thanks to you taking care of me, I was able to repay my debts quickly, and it wouldn’t have been possible for my sister to have the chance to go to school.

I’ll drink this as a sign of respect, and you, you drink too.”

“Eh, why, why can’t I drink it!” Wu Qingsong said, puzzled, opening his mouth wide, “It even tastes good, this drink tastes good, just like what your wife would make.”

At the mention of ‘wife,’ Huo Chen’s eyes were filled with pleasure.

Xu Ying’s face blushed slightly. She wasn’t yet married to Huo Chen, and this kid was already talking nonsense.

Gu Fuying never left Wu Qingsong’s side, and even the dim-witted Xu Ying could sense the girl’s feelings.

But she frowned, knowing the Gu family was made up of intellectuals and high-ranking officials’ children, while Wu Qingsong was just an orphan. It seemed unlikely that the two of them could be together.

If Wu Qingsong was willing to marry into her family, it wouldn’t be impossible.

But his family solely depended on him now, and it was unlikely he would agree to such an arrangement.

Xu Ying shook her head, thinking why bother about it right now, life is taken one step at a time.

“Where does Wu Qingsong live? He’s half-drunk now, he won’t be able to get back on his own. Should we let him sleep here tonight?” Xu Ying asked.

Huo Chen immediately shook his head. He hadn’t even spent the night at Xu Ying’s place, so Wu Qingsong shouldn’t even think about it.

“I’ll take him to where we’re staying. We too have rented a place here in the county, not far from here, just down the back street.”

Xu Ying’s face was full of surprise. No wonder Huo Chen spent every day in the county; it turns out he also had a rental here.

“Then okay, you take him back first. Don’t let him sleep here and catch a cold.”

Just as Wu Qingsong finished shouting, he collapsed and fell asleep on the spot.

Huo Chen, being strong, simply hoisted Wu Qingsong up with one arm.

After the two of them left, Xu Ying walked up to Gu Fuying and stared intently at her.

“Look into my eyes.”

“What, what are you doing!” Gu Fuying said nervously.

“Do you like Wu Qingsong?” Xu Ying asked.

Gu Fuying’s face flushed instantly at such a blunt question, “You, you noticed?”

“Mhm, since when?” Xu Ying was extremely curious.

Gu Fuying stammered, “It’s just, just after Wu Qingsong saved me last time.

I thought he was a pretty good person, and he’s also very reliable.”

Xu Ying sighed. Sure enough, girls often fell for the hero who saved them.

It was fortunate that Wu Qingsong really did save Gu Fuying, and it wasn’t a ploy.

Thinking of Wu Qingsong, her expression became worried, “Wu Qingsong already has someone he likes.”

Gu Fuying nodded, “I know, but I’m willing to wait for him.

Maybe after some time, he will forget about Zhang Lancao.

Just like I once forgot about him.”

Xu Ying didn’t know what to say. Wu Qingsong was a decent person, much better than the scum she knew before.

In terms of looks and family background, that man’s family was poor, and there were many of them, while at least Wu Qingsong had no parents and no such burdens.

But she didn’t want Gu Fuying to suffer either, watching the man she liked be sad for another woman—it surely wouldn’t feel good to her.

She counseled, “Then give it a try, if it doesn’t work out, we can always find someone else. Our Fuying is so outstanding, there’s no way she won’t find someone.”

Her words immediately cheered Gu Fuying up, “Am I really that good?”

“Why wouldn’t you be? You’re good-looking, have a good family background, are educated yourself, have a good job, and with strong abilities,” Xu Ying praised.

Gu Fuying’s face blushed. She had never thought that she was so outstanding in Xu Ying’s eyes.

Xu Ying’s gaze darkened, she actually felt that Wu Qingsong’s feelings for Zhang Lancao might not be love.

Most men who lost their mothers at a young age tend to look for older partners, not necessarily out of love but due to psychological needs.

For such a man who had missed out on motherly love in life, he would long for that feeling of being cared for and thus might like mature women who knew how to care for others.

And Zhang Lancao happened to be that caring and understanding elder.

Perhaps it wasn’t love but the loss of motherly affection that gave Wu Qingsong those special feelings towards her.

However, these were just Xu Ying’s speculations; she dared not say them out loud, afraid that if Gu Fuying heard them, she would invest even more love into Wu Qingsong.

“Mhm, I definitely won’t invest too much emotion, I only have a good feeling for him at the moment, not a lot of love.

If he can’t move on, I’ll definitely step back,” Gu Fuying assured her, so she wouldn’t worry.

Xu Ying nodded; it was good that she could think this way.

“What you said is very right, to love others, you must first learn to love yourself. Only when you know how to love yourself will others know how to cherish you.”

Gu Fuying understood what Xu Ying meant; her mother had also told her this before.

“I understand.”

After finishing, Gu Fuying looked at the table full of delicious food, gave a shy chuckle, and said bashfully, “Yingying, could I pack some to take home?

I’m actually full already, but I thought about bringing some back for my parents to eat. You won’t be working at the State-owned Restaurant anymore, and it will be harder to taste your cooking.

So, I want to take some back for my parents to try.”

After speaking, Gu Fuying’s fingers nervously intertwined.

In her heart, she actually wanted to take it home to eat when she was hungry.
