"Brother, are you okay? Should I go to a nearby pharmacy and buy you some sobering-up medicine?"
Xu Shengxia helped Shi Yubai into the back seat of the car, asking him the question as she scanned the nearby storefronts.
Shi Yubai didn't answer. He leaned against the seat back and watched her quietly for a moment before reaching out, grabbing her arm, and pulling her into his embrace with a sharp tug.
His arms wrapped around her back, holding her tight, his head nestled against her neck.
"Brother…" Xu Shengxia's heart gave a violent lurch at his sudden action, and she began to push weakly against him.
Shi Yubai felt her resistance but didn't let go. Instead, he hugged her even tighter, his hot breath ghosting over the back of her ear. His voice was hoarse and tinged with vulnerability.
"Luoluo, I feel awful… Can't you spare a thought for how I feel, please…?"
