348 End of chapter of life
“How would I know If I’m an alcoholic?” Gu Shangyan blinked.
“When you fuck up often while drinking and refuse to take responsibility for your actions, you should know that you are on the path of an alcoholic. When you choose alcohol over everything…” Shen Yue didn’t have to complete her sentence. He looked at the line of empty bottles on the table and then at her. He picked one half-empty bottle and poured a drink for both of them.
“Well, the culture of drinking at every big or small moment of life ends here, ” Gu Shangyan cheered and gulped the drink in one go.
Shen Yue helplessly smiled. “Let me take you home.”
“It’s good that you live near my house, ” Gu Shangyan said as she took him to the car.
“What would your sister do if I told her about how many times a week I have to take your drunk ass back to your house?” Shen Yue questioned.
“She will send me to get therapy, ” Gu Shangyan said in horror. “Don’t tell her. I still recall the time when she dragged her entire family for therapy.”
“Well, it worked in her case, ” Shen Yue shrugged. “If it helps you feel less anxious, she forced me to go to therapy too. She thought I needed to move on and that I needed therapy for what I went through. I thought she had lost her mind and refused to go but she paid for my therapy and I hate wasting money. I had no option but to go and it worked in the end.”
“My sister can be a little difficult at times, ” Gu Shangyan smiled.
“Little?” Shen Yue scoffed.
“Fine more than just a little. But she always had everyone’s best interest in her mind, “Gu Shangyan said.
“I agree, ” Shen Yue said with a smile and dragged him home.
Gu Shangyan staggered as she held him with one hand with another, she punched the code. He had given her code for his house because it was not the first time she brought his drunk ass home.
“Stay, “Gu Shangyan told him as she made him lie on the bed.
Shen Yue chuckled. “Why would I stay? My house is just around the corner.”
“Just stay, “Gu Shangyan requested, holding her hand. “I don’t want to be alone tonight.”

A smile tugged at his lips as he closed his eyes and in no time, he was fast asleep. Her heart thudded in her chest as she saw the peaceful smile on his face. He was tightly holding her hand as if afraid that she was going to leave him. She didn’t know what came over to her but she found herself clearing his head from his forehead. Her hand froze suddenly as she realised what she was doing. At the same time, he turned around, leaving her hand.
The startled Shen Yue took a step back and left the room, leaving him alone in the house. When she was on the doorstep, his small voice requesting not to leave entered her mind and she couldn’t take a step ahead. She was so frustrated with herself at this moment. She wanted to leave but she could not leave.
In the end, she found herself taking a step back inside the house. She sat on the couch and began resting there with her eyes closed. She heard her phone ding. It was the notification of her hostel roommate sending her a message. The message contained a link and as she clicked on it she reached a page where she could see Lu Mingze giving an interview.
As the interview played on the phone screen, she found out that Lu Mingze had signed a movie contract. She was happy for him. He was getting what he always dreamed about. He was always meant to be a big star.
“Mr Lu, the fans want to know if you are still single?” The interviewer asked.
“At the moment, I’m single but who knows about the future, “Lu Mingze replied with his usual charm.
“Does it mean you have a lady in life now?” The interviewer asked.
“I always had a lady in my life, “Lu Mingze answered. “It’s just that the lady has yet to say yes to me.”
The co-star gasped at his claim. She laughed and asked, “Is there someone who can say no to Mr Lu? You are wanted by every female in the country. Or dare I say the planet.”
Lu Mingze softly laughed. “You will be surprised to know that there are many people who won’t spare me a glance at the fact that I’m the hottest star of the entertainment circle. To some people, it didn’t matter how big of a star I’m.”
Shen Yue ended up smiling. She was his fan. Then, she became his closest friend. In the end, they became lovers. But she never treated him like a star. He was a normal person to her. She knew that he was talking about it. How badly she wanted to tell him that it was too late to open up right now. It would not change the fact that they were done.
As she was watching the interest, she heard the sound of something breaking coming from Gu Shangyan’s room. She closed the video and ran to his room holding her phone. She heaved out a sigh when she saw that he was fine. She looked at him trying to hold the water glass in one hand with closed eyes and then at the shards of glass on the ground. She walked to him carefully and poured a glass of water for him and helped him drink it.
After that, she put him to sleep again. She cleaned the floor because she was afraid that he might end up hurting himself with broken pieces of glass.
Once she was done, she opened the locked screen of her phone and blocked Lu Mingze from all of her spare social media accounts.
It’s time that she finally closed that chapter of her life. There was no need to cry because only one chapter was ending, not the entire story.
