Sweet, Although Short Chapter 5

Zhou Yunchen went to the convenience store and bought a few bottles of mineral water and a bottle of Erguotou. 52 percent, red star, should be powerful enough to make him drunk.
When he came back, Zhuang Ze was still standing by the door, drooping his head and pursing his lips, looking a bit timid. However, as soon as Zhuang Ze lifted his head, Zhou Yunchen knew that those eyes were like the most dazzling sun, carrying unshakable stubbornness and perseverance.
Zhou Yunchen shifted his gaze and gave Zhuang Ze the water.
After he took the water, Zhuang Ze saw the Erguotou inside the convenience store's bag.
He looked up to Zhou Yunchen who unscrewed the bottle cap and immediately drank it.
Zhuang Ze moved his lips, finally advising Zhou Yunchen, "She… probably likes you, so you should forgive her, you……"
Zhou Yunchen stared at Zhuang Ze fiercely.
Zhuang Ze held his tongue.
After that, they fell silent for a long time. One was drinking water, the other was drinking liquor. Both of them were suffering from the pain of thinking about each other in the same room.
Zhuang Ze felt that he was almost intoxicated by the liquor's smell, so he said, "Don't drink it anymore."
Zhou Yunchen's eyes were clear. Not only was he not tipsy, he seemed much more sober than before instead. He looked at Zhuang Ze with such an indescribable gaze.
Zhou Yunchen said with a strangely hoa.r.s.e voice, "Are you scared?"
Zhuang Ze couldn't quite catch what he meant by that, so he asked, "Scared of what?"
Zhou Yunchen chuckled and said, "Right, what do you have to be scared of?"
Zhuang Ze didn't want to persuade Zhou Yunchen anymore. He borrowed the liquor to cease his worries. If they stopped, he might be able to forget about her after drinking.
Time went by, Zhou Yunchen fell asleep on the eve of dawn.
Zhuang Ze also fell asleep as he sat on the blanket, leaning against the foot of the bed.
Zhou Yunchen stretched one of his long legs out and bent the other. Zhuang Ze felt that his stretched long leg was perfectly straight and slender, which were very beautiful. He also felt that Zhou Yunchen's bent leg was even more beautiful. With that strong knee and calf which was stretched taut, it seemed as if it could leap at any moment.
Zhuang Ze didn't dare to wake Zhou Yunchen up. He silently looked at him, feeling extremely happy.
This would probably be the best distance for them.
When they went back later, they would never meet again. Zhuang Ze didn't dare to be Zhou Yunchen's friend, that would be too painful; Zhuang Ze couldn't be separated far from Zhou Yunchen either, for that would be much more painful for him.
It was enough to see him within this distance. As long as he could look after Zhou Yunchen, he didn't need to get too close to him.
He felt a tiny bit content, he wouldn't get greedy and earn people's hatred.
When dawn came, Zhou Yunchen moved and woke up.
Zhuang Ze hurriedly closed his eyes and pretending to be asleep.
When Zhou Yunchen was fully awake, he stared at Zhuang Ze while knitting his brows.
Zhuang Ze wasn't sure if Zhou Yunchen looked at him, but he wasn't good at pretending to be sleeping, so he opened his eyes.
When their eyes met, they immediately shifted their gazes away at the same time.
Zhou Yunchen looked at the liquor bottle in the distance while drooping his head. It was as if he had finally retrieved back the air after being suffocated for a long time when he said, "I give up."
