However, Xiao Su was wrong. Contrary to what he had thought, Jiang Xiaobai was throwing a tantrum, but using a different way.
She was unlike some of the others who would vomit, cry and scream whenever they were drunk.
As long as Jiang Xiaobai got the wine, that would satisfy her alcohol cravings. She would thus stop crying nor creating any disturbance.
When Xiao Su asked Jiang Xiaobai if she was alright, she would put on a shy expression and speak in a gentle tone, “Don’t worry about me, Your Majesty. I will be fine. It’s just a small sip.”
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Su didn’t know what to say.
She is way too immersed in her acting.
Asking Jiang Xiaobai to take a bath wouldn’t be Xiao Su’s choice because he wouldn’t know what mess she would create. Thus, he could only tidy up his room and take out his bedsheets.
“The bedroom is yours for tonight. Go to bed now.”
After hearing what Xiao Su said, Jiang Xiaobai blinked. “Your Majesty, how about you?”
Without answering her, Xiao Su pointed at the floor that she was sitting on. Then, Jiang Xiaobai stood up and walked into the bedroom. Assuming that she had gone to bed, Xiao Su laid his bed sheet and pillow on the sofa, preparing to rest. As he had just lay down on the sofa, Jiang Xiaobai came back to him again.
“Oh, Your Majesty, I am so touched! I can’t believe you choose to let me sleep in your chamber, and yet, here you are…”
While Jiang Xiaobai was speaking, she crouched next to Xiao Su and held his hand. Then, she continued speaking with tears in her eyes, “I want to be here, by your side.”
Finally, Xiao Su got annoyed with her acting as a royal consort. He grabbed her arm and sat up. Then, he carried her and walked toward the bedroom.
The semi-conscious Jiang Xiaobai could feel herself being laid on the soft, comfortable bed, followed by Xiao Su’s harsh voice saying, “Just stay in bed and stop running out of the bedroom.”
Looking at the fierce Xiao Su, Jiang Xiaobai blinked, and everything was back to silence again.
“Okay. Take care, Your Majesty. I shall go ahead and get some rest.”
Finally, after Xiao Su was done with Jiang Xiaobai, he was relieved and could go to bed.
Even so, after lying down on the sofa, he couldn’t sleep because Jiang Xiaobai used this sofa regularly. Besides that, she purposely brought this sofa from her own house. So, after he lay down, he could feel the sweet scent of a woman in every breath he took, which was different from the smell he would usually feel during his sleep.
He slightly furrowed his brows as he was not used to it, but… it wasn’t that much of a nuisance either.
As time gradually passed, Xiao Su eventually fell asleep in an unfamiliar surrounding.
The next day.
When Jiang Xiaobai woke up the next day, she could feel the hangover, as if her head was going to explode. She thus held her head while sitting up with her face crumpled.
After having a good look around, she immediately recognized the place and was stunned.
She woke up at this place before. She drank too much last night and could not recall what happened next.
As Jiang Xiaobai thought of that, she anxiously lifted the blanket that was covered over her body.
Fortunately, she was still wearing the clothes she wore yesterday, and nothing went wrong.
Thankfully… Yesterday she was way too drunk that she could not remember anything But that didn’t matter as long as she was fine.
After Jiang Xiaobai was done with her thoughts, she pushed back the covers and sneaked out of bed. Then, she walked toward the door with her bare feet.
Although she couldn’t recall what happened after she was drunk, the memory of everything that took place before she drank was still vivid in her mind. She was sure that she drank with Fang Tangtang, but how did she leave? After that, how did she end up sleeping in Xiao Su’s bedroom?
Was Fang Tangtang the one who sent me here? But… why didn’t she send me back to my home?
Or could it be…
I guess I can only solve the mystery by getting out of the room.
When the door opened, Jiang Xiaobai could smell the scent of food, and she was filled with curiosity. So, Xiao Su knows how to cook? Then, she walked to the kitchen. Just as she expected, Xiao Su was cooking in the kitchen.
He was making breakfast. However, it was just some simple breakfast, which was plain noodle soup and chicken broth.
Xiao Su could feel Jiang Xiaobai’s presence, and he glanced at her. At this moment, their eyes met. Jiang Xiaobai subconsciously covered her body with her arms. “What?”
“Are you awake?”
While he was asking, he cracked another egg and continued, “Go wash up first and have some breakfast when you are done.”
After hearing his words, she stood on her toes and peeked at the eggs in the frying pan. Then, she asked with a gloomy expression, “Is it safe to eat your breakfast?”
Upon hearing that, Xiao Su glared at her, “You will know if it’s edible later. Or if you don’t feel like having it, you can make yours.”
Jiang Xiaobai did not have the mood to make her own breakfast because she was way too tired, and she had a headache at the same time. Thus, she gave up complaining and went to wash up.
After Xiao Su placed the noodle and the eggs on the table, Jiang Xiaobai sighed helplessly, “Is this what you eat when you are staying alone?”
“Do you have any problem with that?” Xiao Su responded.
Jiang Xiaobai pointed at the food in front of her. “A bowl of clear noodle soup, together with a sunny-side-up egg. This breakfast is not nutritious enough.”
“Why must it be nutritious? I just want to satisfy my hunger.” Xiao Su glanced at her. “Do you think that everyone else would be like you?”
When Jiang Xiaobai heard the last sentence, she was offended. She lifted her eyebrows and asked, “What do you mean by’ everyone else be like me’?”
“Do you think that everyone else can be a foodie like you?” Xiao Su did not finish his last sentence, so Jiang Xiaobai was slightly mistaken.
After Xiao Su finished his words, Jiang Xiaobai replied with her eyes wide open, “What do you mean by ‘foodie’? Food is essential in our lives, and I am just savouring delicious food, understand?”
Xiao Su ignored her and focused on finishing his food because he still needed to prepare for work.
Jiang Xiaobai also realized that he had stopped talking; she took the bowl of soup and drank it. Initially, she assumed that the soup would taste bad, but surprisingly, she felt that the taste was acceptable when she tasted it. The soup was not that savory, but it was still edible.
Even so, she was not in the mood to eat. She was more curious about how she got here last night.
Despite her curiosity, she thought it wouldn’t be good to ask him directly. So she pretended to drink some soup in front of Xiao Su and ate some noodles. Then, she looked at him and pretended to ask unknowingly, “So… I guess I drank a lot last night.”
Xiao Su was a fast eater. Half of his bowl was already empty. While on the other hand, Jiang Xiaobai’s bowl was still full. He looked at her bowl, followed by his own bowl. After he heard what she said, he looked at her.
“Don’t you know if you’re drunk? I guess the food doesn’t suit your taste, right?”
“No! Of course not!” Jiang Xiaobai immediately waved her hands. “The food is pretty good. It’s just that I have a slight headache, so… I don’t really have any appetite. But you cooked well. Oh, right, back to the question. So, about yesterday night… did I get terribly drunk?”
“What do you think?”
Xiao Su threw the question back to her.
That was way beyond terrible. He thought.
She was a total drama queen.
After Jiang Xiaobai heard Xiao Su’s question, she was worried. She couldn’t even remember what happened last night. Based on what he had said, she was more certain that she must have been in an embarrassing state last night.
