459 Drunk Calls (1/2)

The house was pitch black when Xiu entered and it looked like someone robbed it. That's how messy everything was. Cushions were lying around on the floor and the strong stench of alcohol in the air made her scrunch up her nose.

Xiu walked over to open the blinds when her foot bumped into something and she fell over; face front.

”Ouch!” The impact of the fall was great since Xiu felt like her whole body was shaken up violently. Groaning in pain, she rolled over and kicked whatever came in her way. But just as her foot hit that 'thing', it started moving. ”Ah!” Xiu screamed as she ran over and opened the blinds. As the sunlight poured in, Xiu finally saw that 'thing' clearly.

Scowling unhappily, she went over and kicked that stupid 'thing' again!

”Oomph!” The 'thing' groaned but didn't wake up.

Xiu pinched her nose and shook the 'thing', ”Are you gonna wake up or should I bring cold water for you?”

”Xiu? What are you doing here?” Our very own 'thing'... Ahem! I mean, Dylan finally spoke in a hoarse voice. His throat was parched, his lips were dry and he looked like a mess. ”How did you even get inside?” he questioned while rubbing his forehead. He also felt some pain in his stomach but didn't know the reason.

Poor him didn't even realize that the reason was standing right in front of him who kicked him without any mercy.

”Leave the questions for later. For now, you tell me how much did you drink? And why the hell did you drink?” Xiu was really curious to know it. Everything had been fine with him yesterday. He was so happy. Then why did he suddenly get so trashed?

”I was celebrating,” replied Dylan as he sat up on the couch and rubbed his stomach before hugging the cushion.

”Celebrating?” repeated Xiu.

”Yes, celebrating because my sister finally left my house. Since the time I bought it, this is the first time I have my house all to myself.”

Xiu hit the cushion on his head saying, ”Is this your way of celebrating? You passed out!”

”Let me finish,” said Dylan before yawning. He rubbed his eyes and went on, ”Originally, I was gonna drink only a little but then my sister called and she said something which made my mood turn sour. So, I ended up drinking a lot more.”

”I can't believe I thought you're becoming sensible,” said Xiu while shaking her head in disappointment. She neither asked him about what really he talked about with Qiu Meihui nor was she interested. But she was interested in something else... ”Give me your phone.”

”Why?”

”I want to see whether your drunk ass drunk dialed your ex or something like that.”

Dylan waved his hand saying, ”Nah! I don't have her number. Don't worry about that.”
