Chapter 98: Drunken Words Are True Words

  Gu Yue Xuan took the gift box without opening it and pulled me away from the hospital. I asked him, "Why not open it and take a look?"

  He leaned down, his face close to mine, and said: "I like all the gifts you gave me, and you are the best gift!"

  My face suddenly turned red, I lowered my head and walked to his side, "Hehe... that... right, when did you wake up?" I casually found a topic, otherwise it would be awkward.

  "Last night!" he said.

  "Last night? Why didn't you tell me?" And this morning when Shuo called, I couldn't hear any sign of him waking up from his tone.

  "It was me who didn't want to tell you," I was just about to ask him why, he took a step ahead and replied: "Because I wanted to surprise you! But in the end, I saw you crying miserably!"

  It's quite surprising, so surprising that I thought he was dead, it would be weird if I didn't cry!

  "Listening to Shuo, for a month now, you've been coming over every day to take care of me. You look haggard and have lost a lot of weight..." Gu Yue Xuan said, looking at me with a pained expression.

  "No need, I'm fine now, and you're awake too, so I won't have to come to the hospital again in the future, right?"

  "Uh-huh." He nodded and said, "Then let's go on a date!" As he spoke, he took my hand and we left the First People's Hospital.

  Winter days always get dark especially early. Probably because of Christmas, there are many couples holding hands together on the street, and I'm also being pulled by Gu Yue Xuan, from time to time, passersby would cast envious glances at us.

  Gu Yue Xuan's hand was very large and warm, but the feeling of being held by him was different from Ou Yang Luo's. Being held by Ou Yang Luo made me feel very happy, with a desire to be held by him forever, while Gu Yue Xuan...

  I glanced at him sideways, and he was still wearing his black sunglasses. His complexion had improved a lot compared to when he was lying in bed. As if noticing that I was looking at him, he turned his head to look at me, "Hehe, so, where are we going?" If he found out I was looking at him, how embarrassing would that be? In my haste, I asked.

  Gu Yue Xuan smiled and said, "Let's go, we're almost there!" As he spoke, he pulled me along as we walked forward.

  A few minutes later, we arrived at a Western restaurant. There was also a Christmas tree in front of the door. The waiter politely opened the door for us and let us in. After entering with Gu Yue Xuan, I found that there wasn't a single customer inside. Was it closed on Christmas? No, they had just opened the door for us! Or was this restaurant's business really so bad?

  "Why is there no guest?" I asked in a low voice.

  "Hmm... maybe it's Christmas today!" Gu Yue Xuan replied lightly. What kind of reason is this, I reckon he doesn't know either, so I didn't ask again.

  We sat in the center of the restaurant, Gu Yue Xuan sat opposite me. As soon as we sat down, it was pitch black around us. It was just bright a moment ago, could it be a power outage?

  "Xuan——" I called out. Because I'm afraid of the dark.

  "I'm here!" As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in front of him lit up, and Gu Yue Xuan was lighting candles. This... is this a candlelight dinner?

  After he finished ordering, the waiter brought two steaks in front of us, but we hadn't even ordered yet? I looked at Gu Yue Xuan with a puzzled expression.

  His sunglasses came off, revealing a handsome face. He smiled at me and said, "Your reaction is really strange. If it were someone else, they should be surprised! Why do you look so puzzled?"

  No surprise, but a lot of doubts. "Why is there no other customer in the restaurant? Why did the power suddenly go out? Why were we served dishes without ordering them? Why...?"

  "Because I've booked this place!" he replied.

  "Huh?" I looked at him in surprise, it's just a meal, no need to book the whole restaurant, that's too exaggerated!

  Gu Yue Xuan smiled and said, "Want some wine?" As he spoke, he pushed a glass of red wine in front of me.

  "No, no more, I won't drink!" I waved my hand. Gu Yue Xuan didn't say anything else, picked up the high-footed cup and held it in front of me, was this a toast? I also picked up a glass of pure water from the table, "Clang——" a crisp sound, I took a sip of water and put it aside.

  Actually, having dinner in this atmosphere should be a very romantic thing, but why can't I get excited? Suddenly thought of Ouyang Luo, I looked at the clock on the wall, it's already evening now, will he wait for me by the lake? I told him yesterday that I wouldn't go, he shouldn't have gone, right? But he said yesterday that he would always wait for me, would he really keep waiting? I promised Gu Yue Xuan to spend Christmas with him, oh God, I hope Ouyang Luo won't go there.

  "What are you thinking about? Why isn't anyone eating? Doesn't it agree with your stomach?" Gu Yue Xuan asked.

  "No, not at all, it tastes great!" I picked up the glass of pure water and took a sip. Hmm? How did it change flavor? It has a grape taste. I took a look, I picked up the wrong glass, what I drank earlier was red wine. However, the taste is not bad. I continued to drink a few more sips.

  Gu Yue Xuan stared at me in surprise: "You... you're drinking!"

  "Hehe, I didn't know red wine was so good to drink before. Can I have a bit more?" The glass of red wine from just now has already been drunk by me, and I handed the high-footed cup over to Gu Yue Xuan's face, indicating that I wanted him to pour me another cup."

  Gu Yue Xuan poured me a cup, and I finished it in one gulp. My throat felt a burning sensation, and my face grew hotter. Why were the candles in front of me swaying? Everything was so blurry...

  "Are you okay? You can't even drink and yet you've had so much!" Gu Yue Xuan asked as he walked up beside me.

  Huh? How did he become two people? Is this some kind of split-body technique? "Hehe..." I smiled at him, but wait, that's not Gu Yue Xuan, it's Ou Yang Luo's face. I rubbed my eyes, but my vision was still blurry, and all I could see was his mouth opening and closing as he said something, but I couldn't hear anything...

  I stood up and felt like I was going to collapse, but he caught me just in time. "Hehe, Ou Yang Luo, it's really you!"

  Vivian's body trembled in my arms, "I'm not Ouyang Luo!"

  "Yes, it's me, Ouyang Luo. Sorry, I didn't go to Huxin Riverbank because I promised Xuan that I would spend Christmas with him!" As I spoke, my tears couldn't stop flowing down.

  "It seems you're not willing to spend Christmas with me." he said.

  "Sorry, Ouyang Luo..."

  Do you like him that much?

  "Ugh... Ouyang Luo, I like you, really like you, but I don't know what to do. Is it my fault that Xuan is hurt? Am I the one who owes him? Ugh..." As I spoke, I cried even harder and felt more heartbroken.

  He suddenly held me tightly and said "I won't let you go again!" with a domineering tone. Ouyang Luo, I don't want to be apart from you either...
