538: Drunken Truths 4

Drunken Truths 4

Qi Qingyao stood alone by the window, holding a wine pot in one hand and a wine cup in the other. She looked like a ghost, her gaze was silent and empty. She did not even spare a glance at the many dishes that were served.2

Li Ruoxuan took the initiative to speak after more wine was served.

"Didn't you already plan out everything? Why do you look like you need to drink your worries away?"

Qi Qingyao turned her head and only looked at him, her gaze complicated.

She only gave him a cursory glance, but Li Ruoxuan felt that there was an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

So he did not press the question.

Qi Qingyao finished the pot of wine. She got a new pot but still had no intention of speaking.

As time passed, she went downstairs to the toilet twice.

Li Ruoxuan asked Zhu Shen to follow her when she went to the toilet.

Then she would continue drinking in silence when she returned…

Qi Qingyao was so intoxicated by the time she finished the third pot that her consciousness had started becoming fuzzy.

She could not stand up straight anymore. She slumped against the side of the window listlessly and slid down like she was made of liquid.

With a smack of his hand, Li Ruoxuan sent a chair flying directly under her bum, pushing her body into an upright position.

Qi Qingyao turned around and gave a little silly smile. She revealed her big white teeth and said, "Thanks…"

Li Ruoxuan, "..."

Qi Qingyao tossed the third pot of wine to the ground. She then got up, and staggered over to take the fourth pot of wine. However, her vision was woozy and she could not grab the pot of wine after several attempts.

Li Ruoxuan, "..."

Was she so drunk that she was seeing double and could not even grab the pot of wine?

Li Ruoxuan pulled her to the seat next to him.

"You've had enough, don't drink anymore."

"I wanna drink!!"

The girl had become very childish in her drunken state. She slumped over the table, trying to grab the pot of wine, but kept grabbing air, which made her more and more frustrated.

Her eyes were so unfocused that she was going a little cross-eyed.

She mumbled indistinctly,

"Why can't I…hic…grab the pot…when…I can…see it…"

"Because you drank too much."

"No…I…didn't drink…too much…"

"..."

Li Ruoxuan could not be bothered to talk to a drunkard.

He was about to knock her out and take her back.

Then the girl turned her head and looked at him with teary eyes that were glossed over with a layer of mist.

As if the human mask was not comfortable, she abruptly ripped off the mask from under her ears, revealing her actual face, the original radiant and cutesy face.

Perhaps the way she ripped off the mask too forcefully had caused pain in her eye sockets.

Her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

She looked rather pathetic.

She looked like she was about to cry.

Li Ruoxuan frowned and held back his hand from comforting her. He thought to himself, 'This little girl, just because she has good looks, she must have deliberately drunk too much and made this kind of expression so that I would comfort her. No way! Not a chance, don't even think about it!'

Li Ruoxuan turned his face away and started eating in silence, as though he intended to ignore her.

Meanwhile, the girl who drank too much started crying sulkily while slumped over the table because she could not grab the pot of wine.

After crying silently for a while and randomly grabbing about on the table, she finally touched the pot of wine. After giggling a few times, she held the pot and began drinking again.

This time, she started bawling loudly after two gulps.

She cried like a child.

Her cries startled Li Ruoxuan.

He turned around and saw the girl with tears streaming down her beautiful face, her cries sounding very tragic.
