Song Xiaodong went straight home, carrying a case of beer with him, and sat on the balcony to drink alone.
It wasn't that he was trying to drown his sorrows with alcohol; it was just that the situation really overwhelmed him. In the past, his dealings with women were mostly physical needs, and he had never truly felt emotional, but with Miao Xuanxuan, it was the first time he had developed real feelings.
And now, he couldn't bear to part with Miao Xuanxuan, but being an orphan himself with only his sister to look after him, he could better understand Miao Xuanxuan's concern for the affection between siblings.
The choice between familial love and romantic love was indeed hard to make, and he drank, only hoping that the quietude brought by alcohol could help him devise a good solution.
