Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Tension Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Tension After sleeping for the afternoon, Su Yunjin now awoke feeling a bit more clear-headed.
Her head was no longer dizzy.
She just couldn’t recall what had happened before.
Gu Ya had been by Su Yunjin’s side the entire time she slept.
He hadn’t gone anywhere.
Upon opening her eyes, Su Yunjin’s first sight was Gu Ya, and before she could speak, she realized she was sleeping in bed, which filled her with confusion. Wasn’t she eating with her parents in the yard?
How did she end up in bed now?
What exactly happened?
While Su Yunjin was still trying to remember, Gu Ya spoke above her head, “Yunjin, you’re awake?”
“My Lord, how come I’m sleeping in bed?” Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya with bewilderment, and Gu Ya, staring at his little wife, tentatively asked, “Yunjin, do you not remember what happened before?”
Su Yunjin was a bit stunned, “What could have happened?”
“…” The look of bewilderment on the little wife’s face made it seem that she really must have forgotten all about her drunken escapade.
Without a word from Gu Ya, Su Yunjin moved, and suddenly, as if coming to a realization, she noticed that her hand was clutching Gu Ya’s. Looking at the way Gu Ya was sitting at the edge of her bed, it seemed he had been maintaining that posture for a long time.
Had she been holding onto Gu Ya’s hand the whole time she was asleep?
Realizing this possibility, Su Yunjin felt somewhat embarrassed. Why would she hold onto Gu Ya’s hand while sleeping?
No, that’s not it. She distinctly remembered that she was eating, so how did she end up in bed, and moreover, holding Gu Ya’s hand while sleeping?
Several questions flashed through Su Yunjin’s mind all at once. Knowing that his little wife probably really couldn’t recall what happened before, Gu Ya spoke up to remind her, “Yunjin, you drank! You got drunk during dinner, so I helped you back to the room to rest.”
Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya in disbelief!
All she did was drink a bowl of that sweet rice wine!
How could she have been drunk?
It was just like fruit wine.
When Su Yunjin drank it, she didn’t feel a thing.
It never crossed her mind that she could get drunk.
Gu Ya seemed to know what she was thinking, and explained, “Yunjin, the rice wine I brought for father may not be spicy, but it has a very strong kick. Even a grown man would get drunk after a few cups on his first time drinking it. You’re also trying this wine for the first time today; it’s normal to get drunk if you drank a lot.”
To have gotten his little wife so drunk!
He wondered just how much of that stuff she actually had.
“…” A strong kick? Hearing Gu Ya’s explanation, Su Yunjin immediately understood. No wonder she got drunk, for she had downed a whole bowl of the rice wine in one go in the kitchen today, treating it almost like fruit juice.
Gu Ya placed his hand on Su Yunjin’s forehead and asked, “Yunjin? How do you feel? Any dizziness now?”
“No more dizziness!” Su Yunjin shook her head. After sleeping for a while, Su Yunjin’s intoxication had worn off, and since the dizziness and confusion were due to the alcohol, naturally she didn’t feel dizzy anymore.
Gu Ya gave his little wife a careful look-over, and seeing that she really didn’t seem dizzy anymore, he suddenly leaned in close, his tone suggesting something as he whispered behind her ear, “Yunjin, since you’re not dizzy anymore, isn’t it time for you to take responsibility for what you’ve done?”
Gu Ya’s lips were right beside Su Yunjin’s ear.
Somewhat husky and somewhat teasing.
It made Su Yunjin’s face flush with nervousness on the spot.
