The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 159

Su Ruan and Long Fei walked around the park for a long time and only returned to their hotel after having their dinner outside.

After taking a shower, Su Ruan turned on her laptop and started to work on her article. When she got tired, Su Ruan looked away from her laptop to stretch her body.

Her gaze fell on her hands and a tinge of pink appeared on her cheek as she thought of how they were holding hands from the park until they reached the hotel room.

A faint smile curled on her face as she thought of their date.

She had thought that Long Fei should be busy with his work, as it was a rare chance for him to come to Capital City. She did not think that he would have time to spend time to go on a date with her. Especially as it was an unplanned one.

Thinking about it, from the moment she had agreed to date him, the two of them had not done anything much other than sightseeing and talking about various things.

Su Ruan began to consider if perhaps, the two of them could try other things as well.

Just as she was making a plan in her mind, her phone on the table buzzed. The sound of it snapped her thoughts out of her mind. Su Ruan glanced at the notification and saw that it was Yu Zhi Yi, reminding her of their appointment in the morning

A soft sigh escaped her.

In the past, she would be looking forward to meeting Yu Zhi Yi. But she did not know when did things start to change. Recently, she was not looking forward to meeting him. In fact, what she wanted to do was to avoid him.

Unfortunately, she had already promised that she would attend his wedding as his best woman. Otherwise, she would come up with an excuse to avoid meeting the couple.

Perhaps, attending this wedding would also be a good thing.

Perhaps, when she saw Yu Zhi Yi and Shen Yue holding hands as husband and wife, she would truly let go of her feelings.

With Yu Zhi Yi’s message, Su Ruan found that she had lost her mood to write. She decided to head out to the kitchen and grabbed some drinks.

However, when she peeked into the refrigerator, her gaze fell on the cans of beer inside. After a brief hesitation, Su Ruan took out one can and headed to the living room to drink while watching the television.

After browsing through the channel for a while, Su Ruan finally decided to watch a drama. She lowered the volume as she was worrying that she would be disturbing Long Fei.

Coincidentally, it was a campus drama. Su Ruan watched as the second lead female had stayed by the male lead’s side and watched him date several women made her remind her of her university life. The second female lead clearly had feelings for the male lead, but she stayed and helped the male lead to get the woman he liked.

Now that she thought about it, how could she be so patient to wait for Yu Zhi Yi?

Looking at the second female lead who was doing things that she had done previously made her feel stupid. It seemed that she had wasted her youth, chasing after someone that would never belong to her.

If only she had let go of that feeling the moment Yu Zhi Yi had dated someone else, perhaps, she would be happier. Perhaps she would not be hurt so much.

A large sigh escaped her and Su Ruan continued to take another mouthful of her drink.

The drama on the television ended, but Su Ruan was staring at the screen with a dazed look on her face. No one knew what was in her mind. She did not even notice that Long Fei had come out of his room and was watching her for a long time.

A tall shadow loomed over her. Su Ruan finally snapped out of her trance and looked up. Her pupil flickered the moment she saw Long Fei, standing in front of her.

“How much did you drink?” Long Fei glanced at the cans on the table and frowned. Su Ruan’s body is not the same as his. If she drank too much, he worried that she would feel unwell the next morning.

“Long Fei.”

“Hmm?”

Su Ruan lifted the can in her hand and smiled. “Come on. Have a drink with me.”

“Are you drunk?”

“I’m not. I don’t drink that much.”

Long Fei glanced at the cans and sighed. Although he did not want to encourage her to drink more, he could tell that Su Ruan was unhappy after her meeting with the editor earlier today. He didn’t know what had happened to her, but each time Su Ruan was feeling unhappy, he was unable to focus on his work well.

After pondering over it for a while, Long Fei sat down and took a can for himself. He took a swig and turned to Su Ruan.

“What’s wrong?” Long Fei asked. “Thinking about that interview earlier?”

“Hmm…” Once he mentioned the interview, Su Ruan was reminded of her conversation with Shen Yue earlier. “You could say so.”

His brow furrowed. “Do you really want to work with the company?”

Thinking that this might be the reason Su Ruan was unhappy, Long Fei had made a note to find out about the person that Su Ruan had met earlier. Then, he should make a move to help Su Ruan.

Su Ruan chuckled at his question. “It’s not about the company.” She took another swig from her drink and spoke, “Just that… I ran into someone unpleasant during the interview.”

She looked at him for a long time as she pondered whether it would be a good time to tell Long Fei about Yu Zhi Yi.

After all, he is her boyfriend and he will be attending the wedding with her. If he heard any unpleasant story from her friend about her relationship with Yu Zhi Yi, Long Fei would be unhappy, right? Would he think that she was using him to move on?
