Chapter 30: Such Relationship

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Previously, the wind and rain had been heavy, but the air felt as if it had been washed clean.

Now that the wind and rain had subsided, the coastal road was filled with couples strolling along.

This road had always been among the top 10 romantic spots in Hai City due to its beautiful scenery.

Driving along this road, they would reach the Sunset Viewing Platform. It was a cape with a lighthouse at a slightly higher altitude, and it was very suitable for watching the sunrise.

She had come here many times with Bo Jingshen in the past, riding the shared electric bike and enjoying the sea breeze on summer nights…

For some reason, Su Lu suddenly had the urge to come here.

She drove, with Bo Jingshen sitting in the car like a limp fish, hanging by the window.

Even though there was no sunrise to watch at the moment, she still felt a sudden desire.

She wasn’t driving fast, and on the road, they passed by many couples who noticed the “limp fish” hanging on her car window and burst into laughter.

Surprisingly, there were quite a few people at the Sunset Viewing Platform. Su Lu parked the car in the parking lot by the beach.

Then, she reached out and gently poked Bo Jingshen who looked like a limp fish hanging on the car window.

“Bo Jingshen, are you alright?”

The man didn’t respond. Just as Su Lu started to worry if he was too intoxicated to lose consciousness.

He suddenly jolted, straightened his body, and accidentally bumped his head against the car window frame.

Su Lu frowned when she heard the sound. “Your head… It might swell up and cause a lot of pain tomorrow.”

“You’re being too sensitive.” Bo Jingshen replied, still deliberately enunciating his words clearly.

However, it seemed that he hadn’t realized where they were at the moment. He couldn’t recognize the surrounding scenery and didn’t pay attention to their current location.

He simply turned his head, furrowed his brows, and stared intently at Su Lu.

His beautiful eyes, lacking their usual sharpness and coldness, now had a hint of red, making him look innocent and harmless.

After staring at Su Lu for a moment, he reached out and lightly caressed her face with his fingertips.

Then, he began to take off his coat. “You’re dressed too lightly. Are you cold? The wind is so strong.”

With the car window open, the cool sea breeze blew inside.

She wasn’t really cold.

But… when Bo Jingshen covered her with his coat, which was scented with a mix of alcohol and the chilly fragrance of cedar, it still warmed her to the point of shivering.

Su Lu nestled in his coat, gently sniffed, and blinked at him.

“I’m not cold anymore. You should get some rest. I’ll be fine. I’ll go down later to buy drinks and fried squid for you.”

There were fishermen nearby doing business, pushing small carts and selling cold drinks and fried squid stored in foam boxes.

Su Lu could tell that Bo Jingshen was already drunk. His actions were probably subconscious…

So, she suggested that he took a nap.

Bo Jingshen was stunned for a moment before he nodded. His slender eyes became drowsier as his eyelids slowly closed.

His thin lips were pursed as he muttered softly, “You should eat less fried squid, just satisfy your cravings a bit. If you eat too much, you’ll have a stomachache.”

“Yes, I know,” Su Lu responded softly.

She turned her head to look at his sleeping face for a while before quietly getting out of the car.

From the trunk, she found an unopened blanket and spread it out to cover him. She rolled up the car window, leaving only a small gap for ventilation, and then closed the car door. She made her way towards the stall selling fried squid and drinks.

She loved eating this dish. Every time she ate it, she would end up with a stomachache, but she couldn’t resist it.

The perfectly fried squid sizzled on the iron plate, sprinkled with cumin powder, chili flakes, and spring onions, exuding an especially enticing fragrance. Paired with an ice-cold beverage or a bowl of chilled sweet corn soup, it was simply amazing.

It had been five years, but she still remembered the taste.

Originally, she had only planned to have a taste and leave. However, after not having it for a long time, she couldn’t resist the temptation. She ended up eating several skewers of fried squid, downed half a bottle of chilled drink, and even bought a bowl of chilled sweet corn soup to enjoy on her way back to the car.

After finishing the sweet corn soup, she opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat.

She had intended to pass the time by playing a game on her phone when she suddenly heard a low murmur from beside her, “I already told you to eat less. If you eat too much, you’ll get a stomachache…”

Su Lu’s heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips. She turned to look at Bo Jingshen, only to find his eyes still closed.

So she tried to fool the drunkard. “I only tasted a little.”

Bo Jingshen said, “The smell of fried squid is almost seeping into your body.”

“Well, the drunkard was quite logical,” Su Lu thought.

Su Lu blinked. Since she could not fool the drunkard, she could only coax him. She reached out and patted him gently. “I’m not eating anymore. You should sleep for a while more.”

Caught off guard, her hand was grabbed.

Su Lu was stunned, looking at him.

The man, half-reclining on the passenger seat, turned his body to face her, his eyes slowly opening.

His eyes still carried a reddish tinge from the alcohol, and his gaze lacked the usual sharpness, yet it wasn’t as innocent as before. For a moment, it was difficult to discern whether he was still intoxicated or already sober.

“Bo Jingshen…” Su Lu called him softly.

“Yes.”

The man responded softly, his eyes slightly red, staring at her without blinking.

For a moment, his gaze seemed very gentle.

“You’re awake?” Su Lu asked.

“No,” Bo Jingshen replied.

“Then you…”

Before she could finish, Bo Jingshen interrupted her. “Su Lu.”

“Huh?” Su Lu asked.

“What was our relationship now?”

Su Lu pursed her lips. She couldn’t answer. She wanted to know what their relationship was now more than he did. However, because of the debt they owed each other in the past, Su Lu felt that it was not up to her to decide.

Moreover, she didn’t even know if he was talking in his sleep or if he was sober.

“I don’t know. What do you think?” Su Lu asked.

Bo Jingshen said, “I think… I want to maintain this kind of relationship with you.”

“Such a relationship?” Su Lu’s heart skipped a beat.

She couldn’t describe the feeling. It wasn’t very painful, but it felt like something was missing.

“With our current relationship.” The man’s eyes were still slightly red, and he was still focused when he looked at her. His coat, which smelled of alcohol and the cold fragrance of cedar, still warmly enveloped her.

However, Su Lu felt a chill for no reason.

Their current relationship… What kind of relationship was it? Su Lu thought for a moment.

He had a girlfriend.

And he felt that she had a husband.

But they had slept together…

No matter how Su Lu thought about it, there seemed to be only one definition for this relationship.

Her heart hurt a little. “You mean…a bed partner?”

Bo Jingshen’s gaze paused for a moment, but he didn’t answer immediately.

It was unclear whether it was due to silence or the dullness caused by drunkenness.

After a few seconds of silence, he nodded. “You can understand it that way.”

He couldn’t help but hold Su Lu’s hand so tightly that it hurt.

Su Lu saw the faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but for some reason, this smile didn’t seem to hold much genuine meaning.

Bo Jingshen said softly, “Su Little Lu, I will treat you very well.”
