I don\u2019t want him to come, but he insists on seeing me off because he says it isn&#8217;t safe for a girl to go out in the middle of the night. So, I don\u2019t refuse him.<\/p>\n<p>And now, I look like a mess and he sees everything.<\/p>\n<p>Steven Song, in no hurry to drive, speaks in a low voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow are you? Would you like to talk about it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is rare to see Steven Song being so serious. My heart softens because of him.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, after all these days, I think Steven Song is a person I can trust.<\/p>\n<p>Or, the feelings that I have been repressed for so long need to vent.<\/p>\n<p>I take a deep breath and speak out all the grievances I have suffered at home over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Surely, I don\u2019t say anything about Andrew Malan.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t mean to hide it, but I think it is weird to tell a man about my love life.<\/p>\n<p>Steven Song has been silent, quietly listening to me, and gives me a gentle emotion from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say, Steven Song&#8217;s EQ is really high. From beginning to end, he never shows any pity for me. Maybe he knows that would make me even more embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you feel any better after you speak it out?\u201d He doesn\u2019t say much about what happened to me, but just asks me this question.<\/p>\n<p>His care is like a simple greeting between friends.<\/p>\n<p>Light but comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome, let\u2019s have some fun in the bar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Somehow, I feel easy in my heart. All I want is to get drunk with abandon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps it is because of your catlike face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steven Song stares at me for a moment, trying not to laugh.<\/p>\n<p>I am stunned. So, I rush to the bathroom, looking at my unrecognizable face washed by tears in the mirror, and really want to cry.<\/p>\n<p>It is Andrew Malan who I must blame. After I got married, I was not allowed to buy expensive cosmetics. All my cosmetics are non-water-proof. Now I make a fool of myself.<\/p>\n<p>I try desperately to wash my face with water, but there is no makeup remover. There is a bit strange after washing up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever mind. It looks better than before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I comfort myself, wiping the water from my face, and turn to go outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-56","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/56","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
