"…" Even though she was clearly drunk, she had a look of intense concentration on her face. "I want to go see the ocean!" she declared.
"Okay, I'll take you to see the ocean." Xi Zirong patted her on the head and helped her to her feet. "Can you walk steady?"
Xu Su didn't answer, simply getting to her feet on her own. But the moment she was upright, another hand clasped her wrist.
It was Si Xuan, who hadn't said a word since Xi Zirong's arrival. He remained seated, looking up at her quietly. "Xu Su, are you sober right now?" he asked. "Are you sure you want to go with him?"
'This man was remarkably composed. It seemed nothing could ever truly make him angry.'
'Even now, he just wanted to confirm her decision was being made with a clear head.'
After a good cry, Xu Su had actually sobered up a bit. Looking at Si Xuan, she remembered how she had just made him down several bottles of liquor and felt a little sheepish.
