Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 1 (29)
They drove to the downstairs of the unfinished building. Uncle Teng looked around and asked, “Second Young Master, are you sure you want to stop here?”
This area was originally intended to be used to build a cluster of office buildings. Later, the developer went bankrupt and ran away, leaving a mess without anyone to clean it up. The government was unable to spare the time to re-plan it, so it remained abandoned here for many years.
It’s fine during the day, but at night, there are no street lights around, and a large area of buildings looks full of ghosts, which is particularly scary.
”Stop right here.” Xia Lin said as he got out of the car, “Uncle Teng, please wait in the car for a while. Zhou Shuo, come with me.”
With that said, he took Zhou Shuo and ran to one of the office buildings.
It was pitch black on the rooftop, and you couldn’t see your fingers.
Zhou Shuo used his cell phone to shine the light and whispered to Xia Lin: “Second Young Master, are you sure he is here? I didn’t see anything.”
Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp “puff” sound coming from the darkness, which was the sound of the beer can being pulled open.
Xia Lin said to Zhou Shuo, “Wait for me at the entrance of this corridor.” Then he walked in the direction of the source of the sound.
Song Yan was sitting on the ground leaning against a square pillar-shaped stone pier. His position was facing the distant light shining on the landmark building in the center of the city. Through the dim and distant light, Xia Lin discovered that he had bought a dozen beers. , most of which have become empty cans, piled in pieces at his feet.1
When Xia Lin looked at Song Yan, Song Yan also raised his head and looked at him.
Because of the backlight, he couldn’t see Xia Lin’s face clearly for a while, but based on the familiar outline of the other person, he judged that it was Xia Lin himself.
”Are you here?” Song Yan burped and tried to stand up unsteadily, but failed and sat back down again.
He raised his face and smiled at Xia Lin: “Xia Lin, I knew you would come. You still recognize me as your brother, right?”
Xia Lin looked at him and said nothing.
On this day in the last life, Song Yan had officially confessed to Yu Luotong. However, in this life, Song Yan came alone to drink in a deserted unfinished building without mentioning Yu Luotong.
He didn’t know what stage of development Song Yan and Yu Luotong had reached, or was it because he was interfering with each other that Yu Luotong’s affection for Song Yan was transferred to him, and Song Yan pursued them to no avail, so he drank to vent like this?2
Thinking of this, Xia Lin felt complicated and difficult to describe.92
He finally let Song Yan taste the bitter fruit of unrequited love, and saw Song Yan’s miserable state of being drunk because of it, but he didn’t feel any pleasure in his heart.3
At the beginning of his rebirth, he also thought about using his precognitive ability after rebirth to completely cut off the fate between Song Yan and Yu Luotong, and tightly control Song Yan in his hands.
But later he gave up such thoughts and used despicable means to tie up Song Yan. Apart from reducing himself to a selfish and narrow-minded wretch, it would not do any good to others or himself, and it would not allow him to truly achieve happiness.
But now it seems that although he was not subjectively malicious, his active intervention still had a great impact on the emotional development trajectory of Song Yan and Yu Luotong.
Realizing this, he sighed softly, sat down next to Song Yan, picked up a can of beer on the ground, pulled the tab and gave Song Yan a false bow, and said: “Song Yan, happy eighteenth birthday .”
Song Yan was startled for a moment, and the moment she looked at him again, a smile gradually dyed her eyebrows, and her eyes were bright, like stars shining in the night sky.1
”If you really want to celebrate my birthday with me, just drink up this can of beer in one go.” Song Yan said.4
”…” Xia Lin thought to himself that this guy is just trying his best, and if you give him some sunshine, he will be brilliant.1
But considering that today was his birthday, Xia Lin didn’t refuse, raised his head and took a big gulp.
