Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

Chapter 2644 It’s raining in Nancheng tonight 05

"Is it because the alcohol content of that glass of wine is too high?" Jinchen's voice sounded again, accompanied by the subtle noise of the vehicle driving smoothly.

The red light turned green, and he turned the steering wheel. His voice had a strange texture in the quiet car, cold yet gentle, and it made Xie Linzhou's ears feel tingling.

"No," Xie Linzhou explained softly, his fingertips curled up, "I just haven't drunk in a long time."

"I usually need to draw and think clearly... Also, I have a lot of inspiration and I don't need to rely on drinking to stimulate it."

"Hmm." Jin Chen responded, "It seems the formula needs to be improved. I'll try it myself when you come back, okay?"

"Okay." Xie Linzhou agreed, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised. He pulled the blanket that had slipped to his waist up again, wrapping it tighter. "What are you doing now? Are you off work?"

"I'm driving home from get off work."

Xie Linzhou was actually still drunk, his mind was a little slower than usual, and he was more relaxed, so some of the thoughts hidden in his heart could no longer be hidden.

He jokingly asked, "Is there anyone else in the car?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xie Linzhou pursed his lips. His dizzy mind was pricked by the needle and he became much more sober.

He shouldn't have asked that.

There was a long distance between them, and even their formal relationship started in a hurry. In such a relationship, the most taboo thing was unnecessary suspicion and lack of trust.

Will Jinchen be angry? Will he think he is troublesome and immature?

Xie Linzhou's heart was in suspense, the apology on his lips rolled around on the tip of his tongue, and the first thing he heard was Jinchen's answer, "No one else."

Xie Linzhou: “…Oh.”

He paused, then uttered the apology.

"Feel sorry."

On the other end of the phone, Jinchen was silent for a few seconds.

The brief silence made Xie Linzhou clutch the blanket in his arms tightly. His back gradually became stiff. His light thoughts seemed unable to land on the ground, and he felt heartbroken and sad.

However, Jinchen opened his mouth and said, "Don't be sorry, Zhou Zhou."

He was even gentler than before.

"This is a boyfriend's privilege." Jinchen's car turned a corner and headed towards the relatively quiet road home. "You can be bolder."

The hanging heart seemed to be held up and then gently put back into its original place.

Xie Linzhou loosened his fingers that were clutching the blanket and leaned back into the sofa, relaxed.

The silence just now made him seem to be able to guess the result of being questioned and blamed.

He is not good at managing any intimate relationships, and love is an unfamiliar and complicated field.

He fumbled around clumsily, constantly worried about making a mistake.

But Jinchen happened to say this to him.

Xie Linzhou felt his throat tighten, "...I understand."

"Zhouzhou."

"Ok?"

"There are more sunnier days in Italy in autumn than in South City," Jinchen repeated the words in his voice message. "Why do you still want to go back to South City?"

Xie Linzhou thought of the voice message he had sent and pursed his lips uncomfortably.

The reason behind this seemed almost tacit to him, and he thought Jinchen could understand it.

But when the other party asked so directly, Xie Linzhou was vague and tried to hide the truth: "...You know."

"But I want to hear you say it yourself, okay?"

Xie Linzhou had no resistance to such a tone.

He closed his eyes gently, concentrating all his courage in this moment.

"Because I want to see you, very much, especially recently."

A happy chuckle came from the other end of the phone, and then he heard Jinchen say, "Very good."

"I want to see you, too."

Xie Linzhou rubbed his earlobes, which had already turned red. His whole body seemed to be floating in warm clouds, feeling empty and unable to find a foothold. Only his heart was beating rapidly in his chest.

Really like.

He felt a satisfaction he had never felt before.

"Jinchen."

"Ok?"

"I thought of a message." Xie Linzhou said softly.

He raised his eyes and looked out the window.

The cloudy sky in Milan is gray, mixed with a gloomy gray-green color. The sky and the earth are vast, but they seem to be blurred together and cannot be seen clearly.

His tone was tender, "You are the only light I see in the endless rainy night."

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment.

Then, Jinchen's voice came, his tone sincere, "I like it very much."

Xie Linzhou smiled, his eyebrows curved.

[The villain's heart rate is detected +5, totaling 40! 】

The phone was not hung up.

The sound of each other's shallow breathing could be heard in the receiver. Xie Linzhou picked up the half-drawn sketch at hand again, and the pencil made a rustling sound as it moved across the cardboard.

He was drawing the lines with his pen, listening attentively to the movement on the other end of the phone.

First there was the clear sound of a car door closing, then a muffled sound, and Jinchen had already gotten out of the car.

Then came the sound of footsteps on the ground, and then the crisp sound of the elevator arriving and the door opening and closing.

After a brief silence, there was the sound of the door opening and closing.

The sounds of life, through radio waves, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and reached his ears, as if bringing him into Jinchen's private space far away in the south city.

After a while, he heard Jinchen's voice again, "I'm going to take a shower."

Xie Linzhou glanced at the time. It was seven in the evening, which was one in the morning back home.

"Go quickly," he put down his pencil and lowered his voice, "and get some rest early."

Jinchen walked into the bathroom and undressed with one hand, "Good night in advance, boyfriend."

"Good night." Xie Linzhou replied, rubbing his fingertips along the edge of the cardboard.

The call ended and the screen went dark.

Xie Linzhou half-lying down slowly drank the remaining light purple wine at the bottom of the glass.

The feeling of being slightly tipsy from alcohol was a little more pronounced than before, but it wasn't uncomfortable. It was a relaxing, light feeling of tiredness.

He sank into the soft sofa, his collar slightly open, his eyes a little hazy and filled with damp mist.

The cool fragrance of violet is more obvious in the base notes, creating a hazy and illusory atmosphere.

Xie Linzhou vaguely felt that the phone call across time zones was like a short and beautiful dream.

At this moment, the dream fades away and reality comes.

I don't feel empty in my heart.

That cup of lighthouse on a rainy night seemed to have really built a solid lighthouse on the sea in his heart that was always shrouded in rain.

The light was not blazing, but it was enough to let him know that someone on the other side of the world was lighting a lamp for him.

Xie Linzhou gently closed his eyes, his arms hanging on the sofa, his fingertips touching the ground, and his heart was at peace.

I want to go back to my country as soon as possible, return to Nancheng, and see Jinchen.
