Lu Jingyan was silent for a while, then gave a soft "Hmm" and handed her empty glass to Chen Kai.
Chen Kai hurriedly grabbed the bottle from the table and filled her glass.
Lu Jingyan clinked glasses with Chen Kai and tilted her head back to gulp down a big sip of alcohol.
The spicy liquid slid down her throat bit by bit, but halfway through swallowing, it felt as if an invisible hand was choking her; the alcohol got stuck in her throat and she couldn't swallow any further.
She suddenly felt very sad.
Over the years, she had always been alone and well understood the loneliness of being left behind by the world to the extent that she regarded it as normal and had forgotten what sadness felt like.
But at this moment, she was truly sad, a strong sourness spreading from the bottom of her heart to her eyes and nose.
She lowered her eyelids and quietly stared at the glass in her hand, trying to seem as if nothing was wrong.
