Back Then, I Adored You
Chapter 148: A Perfect Cold Weapon (8)

He drank the wine very quickly, but when he was done with half of it, he suddenly put the bottle on the table and bent down, coughing fiercely.

Qin Zhi’ai got up from her chair all of a sudden. She gradually calmed down after she had her handbag in her hand.

I’m the last person he would be willing to see… He’s in such a bad mood, if I just walk over to him, will I annoy him?

Qin Zhi’ai paused in the middle of walking toward Gu Yusheng. She stared at him dully, then she saw him raise the bottle again, drinking the last half of the wine. Then supporting himself on the table, standing up slowly, her staggered to the bathroom.

Due to his wobbly steps, he hit the corner of a table from time to time, but he seemed like he couldn’t feel the pain, and every time, he would reach out to hold the chair next to him, then stumble forward.

Qin Zhi’ai moved her lips, then followed him secretly, because she still worried about him.

When she got to the bathroom, Gu Yusheng was vomiting intensely by the sink between the ladies’ and men’s rooms.

After several seconds of staring at his back, Qin Zhi’ai turned around and walked to the front desk. She put some money into a waiter’s hand and grabbed a bottle of mineral water to bring back to the bathrooms.

When she was about to walk to Gu Yusheng and hand him the water, she stopped after a step forward and looked around, then found a random man and asked him in a very low voice to help give the water to Gu Yusheng.

She hid behind the wall outside of the bathroom to watch him. Gu Yusheng stared at the water for a while, then took it while raucously expressing his thanks to the man.

He first washed his mouth with the water and drank a small portion of it, then turned on the tap to wash his face simply. After that, he seemed to have sobered up a bit, so he turned around slowly and walked out of the bathroom.

Afraid of being seen by Gu Yusheng, Qin Zhi’ai hurried to hide behind the emergency door. After he walked away, she walked out and followed him behind his back cautiously.

Back in the pub, Gu Yusheng didn’t ask for more alcohol, but paid the bill.

Seeing him paying, she also paid her bill in a hurry. When she trotted out of the pub, Gu Yusheng had already walked to the roadside.

There were many taxis on the street, but he had no intention of taking one. He walked unsteadily along the road without a certain destination.

Qin Zhi’ai hadn’t gotten any closer to him. Since the start, she had been keeping about fifteen feet behind him.

Perhaps since the liquor in his stomach had started working, his pace became even more unsteady. When he bypassed the street lamp, he tripped over himself. Qin Zhi’ai couldn’t help but suddenly increase her steps toward him, but when she was about to give him a hand, he held his body firmly on his own.

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t make a sound to disturb him, only followed him about three feet to his right, reaching out to his staggering body now and then until one time he almost fell onto the ground. She finally grasped his arm tightly, shouting, “Watch out!”

After a lot of effort to straighten his body, she finally realized that he was nearly unconscious, murmuring constantly.

It was busy on the street, so she couldn’t hear what he was murmuring about clearly, but she sighed a relief and felt braver since he was totally drunk. She supported his body with hers and took him to her car at a very slow pace.
