Lu Zhen was no longer conscious. If Song Jia had come a little later, she might not have recognized her neighbor.

Lu Zhen looked up at Song Jia. “Can’t I drink? Who made the rules?”

Song Jia knew that Lu Zhen was already drunk, so he wasn’t prepared to talk to her at the door. He opened the door and walked into the house. He held Lu Zhen’s shoulder and helped her to the sofa, then let her lean against the sofa cushion.

Song Jia glanced at the coffee table. There were four bottles of different types of wine on it. Drinking four types of wine at once? Song Jia turned to look at Lu Zhen helplessly. With Lu Zhen’s alcohol tolerance, she actually dared to drink like this. She was really bold.

Song Jia took the bottles of wine far away to prevent Lu Zhen from drinking more when she saw them later. Then, he went to the water dispenser to get some warm water and added honey from the fridge.

“You’ll feel better after drinking some honey water,” Song Jia said softly when he saw that Lu Zhen was still asleep.

After a few seconds, Lu Zhen realized what Song Jia was saying to her. She turned around and rejected him. “No need. I’m not drunk and I don’t feel uncomfortable.’

Song Jia did not expect Lu Zhen to be so stubborn when she was drunk. She was clearly drunk, but she still refused to admit it. She was usually an obedient and quiet girl, but now, she was like a disobedient child.

He was not angry. He placed the glass of water on the table and looked at Lu

Zhen quietly. After a moment, he said, “Don’t punish yourself for anything.”

Lu Zhen looked at the air with unfocused eyes. Song Jia originally thought that Lu Zhen might not have listened to him, but after a while, Lu Zhen said in a low voice, “l didn’t punish myself. I just can’t understand some things…”

Can’t understand what? Song Jia sat beside the sofa and faced Lu Zhen. Seeing that Lu Zhen seemed to be able to think and answer questions, he couldn’t help but ask, “What happened? Did something happen at the recording event location?”

After Song Jia finished watching Lu Zhen’s performance, he was about to pick her up. He had already thought of a reason, but he bumped into Ye Xuan in the elevator. Ye Xuan gave him a new excuse.

Now that Song Jia thought about it, Lu Zhen looked quite normal during the performance. She didn’t seem to be affected by anything and perfectly acted out the role in the play. Could it be that at that time, she had only barely maintained her calm on the surface?

Lu Zhen didn’t say anything. She didn’t know how to tell Song Jia about Jiang Fei. Should she tell Song Jia that Jiang Fei was her father? If she said that, would Song Jia think that she was talking in her sleep?

Lu Zhen smiled bitterly. Under the stimulation of the alcohol, the emotions in her heart seemed to be slowly fermenting. The intense pain turned into dull grievances that slowly seeped into every part of her body.

Lu Zhen turned around and realized that Song Jia was looking at her. The man’s cold black eyes were filled with worry and confusion.

The moment she saw Song Jia, Lu Zhen felt even more aggrieved. Initially, she thought that she would have to endure this long night alone. However, she did not expect him to come over.

In a house without a spotlight, Lu Zhen did not have to force herself to wear a strong mask. Her eyes were no longer so determined and brave. Under the influence of alcohol, her psychological defense weakened.

Lu Zhen felt a lump in her throat and shouted hoarsely, “Song Jia…”

Song Jia was shocked. He had never heard Lu Zhen call his name like this. The girl’s soft voice was filled with sadness and helplessness. She was as fragile as an injured kitten. Song Jia’s heart softened and ached. He couldn’t help but lean forward slightly, and his voice became gentler. “Yes, I’m here.”

Song Jia’s words made Lu Zhen completely let go of all her psychological defenses. Tears welled up in her eyes. She reached out and pulled the corner of Song Jia’s shirt. She sniffed, but she couldn’t say anything.

Song Jia didn’t expect Lu Zhen to cry. This was the first time he had seen her cry in reality. Lu Zhen was also very quiet when she cried. Although she was drunk, she was very obedient. Even when she cried, she only shed tears. She didn’t cry hysterically or go crazy.

Yet this made Song Jia feel even worse. If a person could even control their tears, it would be even sadder than being sad.

Lu Zhen regretted it when her tears fell. Why was she crying in front of Song Jia? Although Lu Zhen knew that Song Jia wouldn’t laugh at her, she still felt a little embarrassed..
