Chapter 301 - Not Drunk
Song Xing Xing parked the vehicle at its designated place and turned to look at Lu Xun who was seated at the passenger's seat to wake him up.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes upon seeing that Lu Xun was staring back at her.
Previously, she had seen him close his eyes and thought that he was taking a nap. Song Xing Xing was not expecting that the man would be awake at this time.
"Are you awake?" Song Xing Xing flashed him a smile. "We've arrived. Let's go in." Turning around, she then alighted from the vehicle. A puzzled look appeared on her face upon noticing that Lu Xun did not come out.
Song Xing Xing knocked on the window before she helped to open the door for him. "What's wrong? Lu Xun?"
The man did not say a word but instead continued to stare at her.
Song Xing Xing saw that he was acting a little strange and wondered if something was wrong with him. There was a little crease between his brows.
It seemed as if he had something complicated that he could not say out loud.
She stretched her hand, wanting to check his temperature. However, the man tugged at her arms and pulled her into his embrace.
The strong smell of alcohol entered her nose.
Her brow furrowed as she wondered just how much he had drunk.
Lu Xun patted her head as if coaxing her.
Song Xing Xing raised her head to look at him. The tint of pink on his face made her sure that Lu Xun had drunk more than she had thought.
"Song Xing Xing," Lu Xun murmured her name but did not say more words.
A giggle escaped her. "What do you want to say?"
"I love you." His voice was gentle and soft. If it was not because she was very close to him, perhaps, Song Xing Xing would not be able to hear his words.
She pulled away and pecked at his lips. "I love you too." A smile curled on his lips as she looked into his eyes. "Lu Xun, are you drunk?"
"Not drunk." His brow furrowed as he seemed to recall something. "Father-in-law said I shouldn't drink too much. I should listen to him or else, he would not let me pursue my wife."
Her face reddened, knowing that the father-in-law that Lu Xun had mentioned was her father, Song Chen. Moreover, his words were making her embarrassed. "Why are you acting like this? What did you and Song Yi talk about previously?"
"Nothing."
"The two of you drank a lot but did not say anything?"
Lu Xun pursed his lips. "He said that you're a good girl."
"You guys were talking about me?"
"He said that if I did not cherish you well, he would introduce you to a younger guy."
Song Xing Xin naturally noticed his sour tone.
Then, he drank a bit too much because he was worried about this?
It was at this time that Song Xing Xing recalled that she had run into Qiu Yang at his office before they went to Song Yi's place. He was probably still unhappy about her encounter with an old friend.
A helpless smile curled on her lips. "Lu Xun, let's go in first and talk later, alright?"
"I want to hug you a while longer."
Song Xing Xing wished that she could record this drunk Lu Xun and kept them in her phone. She had not expected that Lu Xun would be this adorable when he's drunk.
Was this the reason why her father had looked at Lu Xun in displease after they shared a drink?
Song Xing Xing was speculating that Lu Xun had acted this spoiled to her father when they drank together. This could explain why her father had such a dark face when he saw Lu Xun the next morning.
The night wind blew.
Song Xing Xing looked at her fiance again and spoke, "Let's go inside before we continue and hug. Lu Xun, I'm cold."
At this time, there were only two of them at the house. Song Xing Xing knew well that it would be impossible for her to carry him inside. The best way was to coax him and let him enter the house on his own.
Lu Xun frowned when he heard her words. His hug tightened and his hand was rubbing her arms to help her feel warm. After a while, Lu Xun unfastened his seatbelt and followed Song Xing Xing out.
A breath of relief escaped her. Fortunately, it was not difficult to let him enter the house.
However, as soon as she closed the door behind her, Song Xing Xing found that she was trapped between Lu Xun and the door.
Now that they had entered the house, Lu Xun wrapped her in his embrace, holding her tightly.
Song Xing Xing looked at the situation and did not know whether she should laugh or cry.
Why didn't she realize that Lu Xun can be this adorable?
Song Xing Xing returned his embrace while her mind was whirling to figure out a way to drag him upstairs into the room.
At this time, Mr.Fluffball appeared in the area. He had heard the sound of the door and came to greet his favorite person. However, the moment he smelled the strong smell of alcohol, the grey cat took a step back and stared at his papa with his eyes wide.
"Meow."
Terrible smell! This isn't how my papa would smell like.
With that thought, the cat quickly ran back to his room to play.
Song Xing Xing watched as the cat come and go and wondered what was going on in his head. However, she did not get the chance to ponder too much about it as Lu Xun had squeezed her into a tight hug.
"Lu Xun, I can't breathe if you continued to hug me tight."
"Xing Xing." Lu Xun made no attempt to loosen his hug but instead, he rested his chin on her shoulder and buried his nose in the crook of her neck. As he inhaled her familiar scent, Lu Xun began to relax and his hug subconsciously loosened.
"Un. I'm here."
"Xing Xing, promise me that you won't leave me."
"Of course, I won't leave you."
His arms around her tightened again and this time, Song Xing Xing did not voice her complaint. "Promise me."
Song Xing Xing continued to stay in his embrace, wondering why did this man seem a little agitated.. "I promise."
