<h4>Chapter 210: She’s Gone (2)</h4>
Gu Yu’s tightly-closed eyes suddenly sprang open. Without even looking at her, he reached out and grabbed her by her shoulders, shoving her away from himself. In a low and grave tone, he said, “Don’t touch me!”
Xu Wei was speechless.
She fell onto the soft carpet,nding on her bottom. It didn’t hurt, but… clearly, no good deed went unpunished!
Who the hell wanted to touch him? Seriously!
However, she knew well that Gu Yu had a peculiar habit of disliking physical contact from other people. Because his parents had passed away early, he became insecure and would only allow the people closest to him toe near. Towards everyone else, he would maintain an aura of aloofness and detachment.
Xu Wei didn’t want to cause any more trouble, but Mrs. Lin was still spying on her out through the crack of the door. Her eyes were wide and round, inexplicably reminding Xu Wei of the lyrics of the theme song for The ck Cat Detective: “With eyes like brass bells…”
Xu Wei had no choice but to get up from the carpet. This time around, she didn’t go as close to Gu Yu as before. Roughly patting his cheek, she called out, “Gu Yu, are you still alive? Hey, wake up! Go back into the room to sleep!”
As long as he returned to the room, Mrs. Lin wouldn’t be able to observe them any longer. Thus, she’d be free to leave him on the floor for the night!
Gu Yu’s eyes shifted around stiffly as confusion pooled within them. He seemed to see her, but his eyes couldn’t focus on her figure. He reached out, but it wasn’t to push her away again. Instead, he sped her hand on his cheek.
His thin lips moved slightly as he mumbled to himself. His words were so soft that Xu Wei couldn’t resist leaning forward to hear him better. All she could make out were a few words spoken in a hoarse voice, “You seem like someone…”
Who did she seem like to him?
Xu Wei unwittingly voiced her thoughts aloud.
Gu Yu gave apletely irrelevant answer: “My Little Fox…”
What did he mean by his “Little Fox”?
This was Xu Wei’s first time interacting with Gu Yu while he was drunk. His words were in a mess and made no sense. Then again, how clear did she expect a drunk man’s words to be?
“She’s gone. Can you please help me to tell her…”Gu Yu suddenly lowered his voice and sounded very much like a wounded animal. With sorrow in his tone, he continued, “…that I’m waiting for her?”
Was he referring to a person or an animal? Was he waiting for a woman or a little fox?
Xu Wei was baffled by his words. She was exhausted and in no mood to y any of his guessing games. She hustled him back into the bedroom, wanting to go back to sleep by herself!
With much difficulty, Xu Wei finally pulled her hand out of his grasp. She got up and walked into the kitchen. Pouring a cup of milk from the fridge, she returned to the couch.
She crouched down beside the couch. With a gentle voice, she said, “Gu Yu, have some milk to help with the hangover. After you’re done, go back to the room to sleep!”
As she spoke, she held the ss out to his lips.
However, Gu Yu immediately pushed her hand away. “I’m not drinking it,” he said.
Xu Wei held her patience and smiled. “Why not? You’ll feel better after drinking it. Come on, be good.”
Gu Yu continued to refuse. His frown intensified as heined, “This doesn’t taste good. It’s unptable.”
The situation wasn’t going the way she wanted. Despite being drunk as a sailor, he could stillin of the taste of milk? Then again, how had she had never known that Gu Yu disliked the taste of in milk?
There was only in milk avable in the apartment, and she couldn’t go out to buy the vored ones. Hence, there was nothing she could do but to lie through her teeth, “You’re mistaken! This milk is vored! It’s sweet! Trust me!”
