Gu Yu stared at her dubiously for 30 seconds before holding her wrist in place and taking a sip of milk. Immediately after, he pushed Xu Weilai’s hand away and glared at her angrily. “You lied to me!” he said.
Feeling completely unrepentant, Xu Weilai simply blinked at him. So what if she lied to him? It wasn’t as if he was able to get up and beat her for it!
Xu Weilai knew she wasn’t strong enough to physically force Gu Yu to drink the milk. Otherwise, she would have already knocked him out and dragged him back to the room! Since he was now drunk and wasn’t aware of his surroundings, this was the perfect time for her to have some fun!
She placed the milk on the side table and cracked her knuckles. With a devious smile, she was about to smack him hard when Gu Yu suddenly bellowed in a loud and hoarse voice, “You lied to me, Xu Weilai!”
Xu Weilai suddenly trembled at hearing her name shouted aloud. Was he now awake?
Just as she was about to quietly withdraw her hand, Gu Yu suddenly grabbed her wrist and sat up. His dark eyes were rolling with rage as he opened his mouth and uttered each word carefully, “Xu Weilai! You lied to me again!”
Fine! She lied to him! She wasn’t afraid to admit it.
Even so, what did he mean when he said that she had lied to him again? When was the last time she had lied to him?
Feeling a little vexed and unjustly accused, she glared directly into Gu Yu’s drunken eyes and demanded, “How did I lie to you again? Tell me when I last lied to you!”
However, Gu Yu fell silent. His eyes were so fathomless that no one could tell what he was thinking or feeling. Strangely, he exuded an air of desolation and sorrow.
The moment Xu Weilai asked him that question, she felt like laughing at herself. What was she doing? Why was she asking a drunk man such a meaningless question?
“Forget it. You’ve never believed me anyway…” Xu Weilai mumbled to herself. With how badly her heart ached, she didn’t feel like carrying this conversation. She got up, intending to return to the room. She was too tired to care about what Mrs. Lin thought anymore.
However, the moment she turned around, Gu Yu suddenly reached out and circled his arm around her tiny waist. He embraced her from behind and tightened his arms around her. Hugging her as tightly as he could, his voice was groggy but firm. “You’re not allowed to go!”
Xu Weilai was speechless.
She struggled fiercely for a moment to no avail. Pushed beyond her limit, she raised her arm to break his hold on her.
The more force she exerted, the more Gu Yu exerted in return. Eventually, as if he were afraid that she would leave, he wrapped his arms tightly around her and pushed her onto the couch. He laid on top of her and trapped her body beneath his, rendering her unable to move.
Xu Weilai kept pushing against the man’s chest with both her hands, but he was extremely heavy. Despite using every ounce of strength she could muster, he still wouldn’t budge. Panting from the exertion, her chest rose and fell uncontrollably.
What a bastard Gu Yu was. When he wasn’t drunk, he tormented her. When he was drunk, he still tormented her. Why couldn’t he just act like a proper human being?
The man’s hand stroked Xu Weilai’s face gently and lowered his head. His handsome face was mere inches away from hers; she could feel his breath on her face.
A moment later, Xu Weilai heard his voice. It was extremely low and carried a palpable sorrow with it. He asked, “Why aren’t you coming back? Why? Can’t you tell? Can’t you tell how much I…”
Who was he asking? Was he…referring to her?
The last few words were too softly spoken and disappeared the moment he uttered them.
Perhaps the alcoholic fumes from Gu Yu’s breath had addled her mind, but she was almost certain that the last few words he had uttered were “…love you”.
