Chapter 1738: Clouds of the Past (2)

Zhou Zimo had booked a booth for himself. In a corner on the higher side, separated by a bamboo curtain.

From this seat, he could see the brilliant lights of the city below and the performances on the stage in the bar.

There was already an empty bottle on the table, and the other bottle was half-filled. The other two bottles had not been opened yet.

He had ordered all high-quality alcohol like whiskey.

“I’m here!”

When he saw Mu Yuchen lift the bamboo curtain, Zhou Zimo quickly took the empty glass beside him and poured some for him.

Mu Yuchen quietly sat down across him.

“Shouldn’t you be at home with the elder right now?”

Elder Zhou’s health has not been very good a while back, but he had recovered a little recently. It was because he was worried about Zhou Zimo.

He was already quite old. Forget about any great-grandson, even his granddaughter-in-law was nowhere to be seen. When the elder talked to others about these things, he got so angry that when he came back, he could not help but throw a tantrum again. Then his high blood pressure acted up.

“He’s recovered a little. His health is much better now. How’s Grandpa Mu?”

Zhou Zimo raised his glass to toast Mu Yuchen.

“He’s a little better.”

Mu Yuchen raised his glass as well. The two buddies clinked their glasses before drinking casually.

“I can’t count on Su Chen or Qi Lei. I could only ask you to come over to hang with me.”

Zhou Zimo put down his glass and lit a cigarette a little impatiently. He took a deep breath and amid the smoke, he said, “I saw Qin Su.”

“Hmm?”

Mu Yuchen was a little surprised when he heard Zhou Zimo suddenly mention this name. He quickly looked up at him.

“She’s still the same as before. No, I should say she’s more beautiful than before, but she’s also more cold. I know you’re all surprised about why I still remember her.”

When Zhou Zimo said this, he suddenly stopped talking. Mu Yuchen waited for quite a while, but he did not hear him continue.

“Why then?”

Mu Yuchen could not help but ask later on.

Zhou Zimo blew out a puff of smoke and flicked the ash between his fingers. He was silent for a long time before he said, “Apart from her saving me, I... I’ve molested her...”

‘Cough cough—’

When Zhou Zimo said this, even the calm Mu Yuchen choked. He looked at Zhou Zimo in disbelief—

“What did you say?”

“I said that I molested Qin Su. On the night that we disappeared for a day and a night, she was drugged. When I found her, she was already delirious. After that, I...”

When Zhou Zimo said this, he felt a little guilty, “But at that time, I thought she was her... after that, it rained. I carried her through the forest for half the night. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep right after. When I woke up, Qin Su had already woken up. At that time, the people on the other side also noticed us, so that’s how the later scene happened.”

Zhou Zimo took a deep breath, “She probably doesn’t know about this. I know that this matter was especially unfair to her, especially at that time, I even treated her as someone else. From then on, I kept telling myself that the woman I slept with was Qin Su, so the name Qin Su was like a seed that grew in my mind, but I...”

“So, all these years, the person you’ve been waiting for is her?”

Mu Yuchen narrowed his eyes as he stared at him.

Zhou Zimo shook his head and took another drag of his cigarette. Then, he put out the remaining half of his cigarette in the ashtray.

“I’m not sure if I’m waiting on her either. All these years, I’ve often dreamed about her. subconsciously, I still want to be responsible for her. After all, I...”

“You’re not sure of your own feelings, and you don’t understand her thoughts either, so you’ve been stuck?” Mu Yuchen frowned and asked.

“That’s one of the reasons. I don’t know if she really doesn’t remember anything about that night, but judging from her attitude towards me, she probably doesn’t know that it was me. Sometimes, when I’ll think about whether she was married already. Besides, I can’t really just find a woman to make do with.”

This was the first time Zhou Zimo had revealed such a deep-hidden secret in front of another person.

Honestly, even Mu Yuchen found this hard to believe!

They had been worried about Zhou Zimo all this while, yet he had already done that with Qin Su...

“You’re quite restless!”

Mu Yuchen put down the wine glass in his hand and slowly leaned back. He squinted at Zhou Zimo with a meaningful gaze.

Zhou Zimo looked back at him weakly and said in a deep voice, “Don’t make fun of me. Now, tell me what to do. I think the contract marriage you mentioned before is pretty good, there would be some leeway for each of us. The main thing is to deal with the family, and then during this period of time...”

“Don’t even think about it. If you dare to go overboard with marriage, the elder will first cut off one of your legs.”

Mu Yuchen glanced at Zhou Zimo.

“What do you think I can do now then? I’m really unwilling to marry a random woman.”

Zhou Zimo said a little irritably as he raised his head and drank another mouthful of wine.

“If that’s the case, why don’t you look for Qin Su? Anyway, you’ve already touched her, and your impression of her is pretty good. Wouldn’t it be better for it to be her?” Mu Yuchen said calmly.

As soon as he said this, Zhou Zimo was instantly stunned. He was also thinking about it carefully.

“Do you think... She’ll fall for someone like me? Also, if she finds out how I’ve treated her before, wouldn’t she want to kill me?”

Zhou Zimo lowered his voice and said with some hesitation.

Mu Yuchen could not help but frown. He thought about it, then nodded and said, “It’s very possible. However, seeing your behavior, it’s most likely impossible for you to get her.”

“F *ck off! I’m a dignified Master Mo, handsome and confident. How could she not like me? What’s wrong with my behavior? I’m also very popular outside!”

When Zhou Zimo heard Mu Yuchen’s words, he instantly became a little unhappy.

“Since you’ve thought about it, then act early. Time waits for no one. Besides, do you really not have feelings for that person anymore?”

Mu Yuchen straightened his back slightly and asked, his gaze naturally locked onto Zhou Zimo’s handsome face.

When he heard this, Zhou Zimo was in a daze for a moment. His mind pieced together for quite a while before he was able to piece together that distant face. For a moment, he did not say anything. It was only when he heard Mu Yuchen’s knuckles lightly tapping on the table that he calmed down—
