Maybe it was because she was getting used to it, or maybe because she knew she had to return when dawn came.

Tonight she could forget everything, but once she returned, she would have to face some unavoidable issues.

“Do you want to have a little drink tonight?” Cheng Zhu asked.

“Not too much, just a little to chat.” he added.

Long nights always required some activity.

He quite liked the homemade fruit wine from the owner of the guesthouse, and he planned to buy some to take home the next day.

“I’m fine with that.” Chen Jieyu nodded slightly.

Cheng Zhu went downstairs and truly only brought back a small pot.

Being slightly intoxicated was a good state to be in, as it could make one more relaxed and add more ambiance to the night for the next few hours.

Like last night, they actually drank a little too much.

As the two of them drank and chatted, around ten o’clock at night, Chen Jieyu felt there was something she needed to resolve tonight, and it was best done now.

Because he seemed rather honest now, but later it might not be the case.

“Cheng Zhu, there’s something serious I want to discuss with you,” she said, putting down her wine glass with a very earnest expression.

“Hmm? Go ahead,” Cheng Zhu also set down his glass.

He actually felt adrenaline rush in his heart, guessing different levels of severity.

“I… I don’t know how to say this, give me a moment to think,” she sighed, her emotions complex.

After a while, she said, “I don’t know if you can understand what I mean, but, I… It’s not that I don’t want to pay you back.”

“Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”

Hearing this, Cheng Zhu fell silent, merely nodding slightly – he understood her straight away.

Chen Jieyu let out a slight sigh of relief.

She felt quite inferior in front of Cheng Zhu.

This might stem from their significant age difference, her own unhappy family circumstances, or perhaps from her personal emotional circumstances and the peculiarities of family formation.

She even didn’t know what status she should take when interacting with him in the future, or how to interact with him at all.

Yet, she could feel inferior.

But, she couldn’t let herself be tied to a price tag.

That was her final stand, her last bit of self-respect.

Cheng Zhu looked at her, suddenly feeling that her serious, abstinent face and her professional outfit lent her an even more mature feminine charm than before, yet in this moment, she seemed like a pitiful young girl.

Her emotions must be very complicated right now.

But in her eyes, there was still a trace of stubbornness.

This issue, he would not continue to discuss with Chen Jieyu right now.

Because it was too sensitive, human speech can always lead to misunderstandings, and sensitive topics were not suitable to delve into on such a day.

Some things needed to be resolved over time, at an appropriate opportunity.

Just like tomorrow, when he would take the initiative at the guesthouse checkout.

But tonight was different; doing anything was redundant, saying most things would not work, and could even complicate matters to irredeemable extents.

And it was very easy to end up talking to death, leaving everyone in an awkward situation.

There, Cheng Zhu merely nodded, hesitating without saying a word, and this alone made the exceptionally sensitive Chen Jieyu at this moment increasingly nervous.

Later on, she even began to overthink.

She opened her mouth several times, finally hesitating to speak.

She started to regret bringing up the topic, but deep down actually hoped Cheng Zhu would say something.

At that moment, the man looked at her, pondering for quite a while.

He knew well how to solve all the issues of this moment while preserving the affectionate atmosphere of the past two days.

That was to not answer directly and to dodge the topic, but to extend some logic based on her words.

Furthermore, this extended topic definitely had to lift the spirits and push the rather gloomy current atmosphere up.

You’re hinting that you don’t want to owe me money.

You even asked if I could understand your intent, right?

So…

Cheng Zhu smiled, looking at her; in a tone that was half-joking, half-serious, he said,

“So, is it that hard to say you like me?”
