This was Hong Limin's first time at a bar, and she didn't know what to order. Although she had drank with her husband at home, she only drank a little beer.
Guan Lin ordered a bottle of champagne for Hong Limin.
Although this wine did not contain much alcohol, after two or three glasses, Hong Limin felt her face burning.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" Guan Lin asked. His face also turned red.
"Did something happen between you and Tajima?"
"Yes." Hong Limin nodded. Firstly, because of drinking, she could speak easily. Secondly, seeing Kuwahara's portrait in the "Forest House" cafe gave her a rebound effect.
Hong Limin briefly recounted the events of receiving the anonymous letter exposing her, her husband's ambiguous relationship with Sang Yuan, etc. During the conversation, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth several times.
Guan Lin listened silently. When he finished listening, a sad expression appeared on his face.
"I don't believe it..." Guan Lin said flatly. "Tajima would do something like that..."
"But, this is a fact." Hong Limin said firmly.
Hong Limin couldn't help but feel heavy when she thought about seeing her husband and Sang Yuan in front of the hotel.
"But..." Guan Lin said with a confused expression. "It must have been a woman who seduced Tajima, because Tajima was cowardly by nature and could easily be seduced by women."
Maybe it was just as Guan Lin said, and Hong Limin thought so too.
Tajima appears to be strong on the surface, but in fact he is just pretending. He is a cowardly person by nature.
Therefore, it is very likely that Kuwabara seduced Tajima, but even if Kuwabara seduced him, he cannot be forgiven. Because it can be seen from this that Tajima's love for his wife has faded.
"You asked me to forgive him?"
"I didn't say that. It's up to you to make your own decision." Guan Lin said quickly. "I don't want to plead with you on Tajima's behalf."
"Can I forgive him?"
"I think so, because Tajima will definitely regret it."
"Yeah?"
Hong Limin stared at his fingers with sad eyes. Will Tajima regret what he did? If his wife Hong Limin didn't know, wouldn't he be able to be happily with Sang Yuan?
"Does Tajima know that you have discovered this matter?"
"I think he doesn't know yet because I haven't talked to him yet." Hong Limin said with a straight face.
Guan Lin looked at Hong Limin's face as if he was heartbroken and said, "If Tajima admits his mistake to you and asks you to forgive him, will you forgive him?"
"I don't know." Hong Limin answered honestly. Because the scene she saw in front of the hotel hit her hard, and the feeling of humiliation is still deeply imprinted in her heart.
"I no longer believe in Tajima's love."
"I understand this." Guan Lin said in a low voice. "I think it was that woman who seduced Tajima. Needless to say, Tajima must bear half of the responsibility. However, he must regret it because he knows very well that losing you is a very unfortunate thing." Guan Lin said that he wanted to tell Tianjia I met him on the island in order to observe his mood secretly.
"Even if you don't come to me, I will talk to my old friends. I want you to decide whether to forgive him or not after I find out Tajima's true feelings."
Hong Limin thought for a while. Although I don’t know if her husband will tell the truth to Guan Lin, it is not a bad thing for Guan Lin to meet Tajima. After Hong Limin said that she hoped so too, she added:
"Let's end this topic here!" Hong Limin said and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"I haven't seen Brother Guan Lin for a long time. I want to know how you are doing." Hong Limin said.
"How am I doing?" Guan Lin smiled a little shyly. Hong Limin found that the innocence of the past reappeared on his face.
Hong Limin also smiled.
"How is your current work situation?"
"They are all ordinary things. Even though I am running a hotel, I am just following my parents' orders." Guan Lin said with a smile.
"Are you married? You should be married, right?"
"No, not yet." Guan Lin smiled bitterly and scratched his head. "Because I can't find the ideal partner."
"how come……"
Hong Limin wanted to say, "Why can't I find the ideal partner?" but he swallowed it down.
Because she thinks this person is probably not married until today because of me, right? This speculation made her feel a sweet sadness.
Hong Limin felt very drunk.
"Would you like to dance?" Guan Lin suddenly asked. There was also a slight hint of drunkenness on his face.
Hong Limin looked around. There were two couples of men and women dancing on the small dance floor. The dance music was Prussia.
Guan Lin took Hong Limin's hand and stood up. There was still a little distance at first, but as the dance progressed, the distance between the two gradually shortened. Hong Limin leaned on Guan Lin's chest and recalled what happened a few years ago. Before she married Tajima, she had I danced with Guan Lin several times, and at that time there was only joy, because at that time I didn’t know that this was falling in love, so I didn’t know the pain of falling in love.
At that time, a young friend praised her beauty. Tajima and Guan Lin also used her as a model to draw "a portrait of a certain child". The kind mother is still alive.
Hong Limin danced with her eyes closed. Perhaps she wanted to escape the pain of reality through sweet memories. This was also the weak side of her character. She knew very well that when she opened her eyes, she had to face reality. Now she just wanted to forget her husband and Sang Yuan.
"Brother Guan Lin, why did you suddenly go back to Dongyang?" Hong Limin opened his eyes and looked up at Guan Lin and asked. "three years ago?"
"At that time..." Guan Lin said, looking into the distance. "To be honest, I like you very much. It's okay to say I love you. I read your diary at that time and saw it at your house. I went to your house to visit, but you were not at home. My father-in-law asked me to wait for you to come back. Just waiting for you in your room. While I was waiting for you, I peeked at your diary, and you said in your diary that you regarded me as your big brother, which hit me hard."
Guan Lin smiled and continued: "I knew that Tajima was deeply in love with you at that time, and Tajima's reputation was at its peak. I thought that Tajima was more suitable for you than me, so I quietly left Nanguang."
"I regard you as my big brother..." Hong Limin murmured softly.
"Brother Guan Lin, that's because we are too close. If then..."
If Guan Lin proposed to me at that time, who would I choose? Probably choose Tajima? Hong Limin thought so.
"Everything is over." Although Guan Lin said with a smile, his smile was very forced.
"Because you are already married to Tajima, I dare to tell this matter. This is a thing of the past...
Hong Limin stared at Guan Lin's face in silence, and Guan Lin said that this was a thing of the past. Yes, this was indeed three years ago.
