Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: Liquid Courage

She understood the principles, but she never let herself try, so she wasted her years away, until finally, all her feelings became numb.

As a Spirit Cultivator, life is long, and such time doesn’t seem to mean much, but truly enduring each day and night feels worse than being an ordinary person, at the very least, they have an end.

She doesn’t even know where her end lies.

There’s nothing wrong with loving someone, but loving someone should make yourself happy, not miserable.

If you don’t even have the ability to make yourself happy, and only expect others to love you, how many people could be that fortunate?

So the first step in loving someone is to learn to love yourself, and she hasn’t learned that in all these years.

The two of them scatteredly chatted for a long time, until it was almost dawn. Han Jing then staggered up and returned to the room Xia Wu had prepared for them. She took a shower first, after all, the smell of alcohol on her was indeed uncomfortable.

When she finished her shower and clumsily climbed onto the bed, she suddenly heard a sinister voice behind her: "The best way to forget someone is to find another to replace them?"

Han Jing screamed "Ah!" She jumped up holding her ears, then turned her head to see Su Yu standing behind her.

Han Jing patted her heart, still frightened: "You scared me to death!"

Su Yu leaned in, and Han Jing, with nowhere to retreat, fell directly onto the bed. Su Yu followed suit, pressing close to her, meeting her eyes, and asked again: "The best way to forget someone is to find another to replace them? How does Jing’er know? Hmm?"

Han Jing...

How did she know? She heard about it! Could she really try it herself?

But, hmph, what’s the meaning behind asking her this way, then she grinned and said: "Of course, I know, I have... experienced it firsthand."

Su Yu’s eyes carried a hint of danger, and Han Jing belatedly realized she might have unknowingly hit a nerve—no matter how she looked at Su Yu’s expression, it was a bit terrifying.

Did she... say something wrong?

Su Yu propped up her chin with her hand, her arm supporting her body on the bed, pressing down on Han Jing, face to face. Her warm breath brushed against Han Jing’s face: "Then Jing’er, tell me how you experi—enced—it—first—hand, okay? Hmm?"

The words ’experienced firsthand’ sounded as if they were spoken through gritted teeth.

Han Jing became a bit flustered.

Um... how did she experience it firsthand... of course, she didn’t experience it firsthand... but in her past life, she was an actor, right? She acted in many plays, so experiencing it in the play was still an experience!

Han Jing composed herself and continued to risk trouble, "Once—"

Then she stopped there, seeming to reminisce about something, with a faint smile at the corners of her lips.

Su Yu’s aura seemed to grow more dangerous, Han Jing could even feel that the air pressure around her was slightly off. However, having begun the tale, it would be unlike her to not continue spinning it!

So, Han Jing grinned, revealing a mouthful of gleaming teeth. Despite having showered and rinsed her mouth, the excess drinking left a lingering, faint alcoholic breath.

It’s said... alcohol gives one courage, so, recklessly, Han Jing earnestly told Su Yu: "Once when I was still an actor, I encountered someone who was very—"
