Chapter 68

Book:Confused Love Published:2024-5-1

I was shocked that people like Xuanlong did not drink at all.
He ate in a hurry and left soon. There were only me and Leon left at the dinner table.
I should be a good drinker among women, but comparing with Leon I am nothing, with a few rounds of the wine, I could not continue to drink anymore.
“I cannot drink anymore, I am going to sleep.” I knocked my head, and started feeling dizzy.
“Drink more with me! I am still here, why are you leaving?” Leon pulled me to sit down.
“I really cannot drink one more drop of whiskey. I am so drunk.”
“Then you can sit here and watch me drink, if you think it’s too dull here, we can drink outside.”
I thought Leon was a little drunk too, he took a bottle of whiskey in his hand and walked outside.
I had no choice but to follow him.
We sat in the gazebo in the garden, there were yellow roses blooming around the gazebo, and they looked very tender and beautiful.
Sister Zhen and other maids sent wine glasses and ice cubes, but Leon told them to take them back, he directly drank from the bottle.
“You shouldn’t drink that much.”
“Do not persuade me, if you are good to me, just drink with me.” Leon said.
“Are you feeling happy that you drink so much or are you feeling unhappy that you drink this much?” I asked Leon.
“I just want to drink. I set a goal for myself that I need to get drunk at least once a month. I haven’t got drunk this month.” Leon said.
This was interesting, why he had to set a goal of getting drunk once a month?
“Why you have to do that?”
Leon raised his hand and pointed to the moon in the sky, “There will be a full moon each month, do you know that?”
“So, each month when there is a full moon, you will have to get drunk? Is that you hate it when there is a full moon but you can’t get together with the person that you are thinking about? Are you hoping that you’d share the beautiful moon though thousands of miles apart?(part of a famous poem)”
Leon shook his hand and said, “Could you stop reading a poem that only would be read by kids from elementary school. Stupid Woman.”
“What do you mean by that? That was a famous poem that has existed for thousands of years.” I said.
I drank too much and started feeling dizzy, and I was gradually losing my temper.
“There is an unforgettable thing for everyone and an unforgettable person for everyone.”
I interrupted him, “I know, everyone has something hurtful in their memories, and have a person that when you think of her, is like a ray of white moon light… Just like what was sung in the lyrics.”
“Can you just shut up?” Leon was drunk and annoyed, “Listen to me while I am talking.”
I shook my hand and said, “Okay, okay. Please continue.”
Leon paused and said with confusion, “What was I saying?”
I couldn’t help laughing, it looked like he was drunk too. He could not even remember what he was about to say.
Leon changed his face and said, “If you keep laughing I will throw you into the pool.”
I shut up immediately, and stood up to leave. Leon told me to sit down and said, “Did I told you to leave?”
I stared at him and sat back down.
It’s not good to mess with him when he was sober. And it is worse to mess with him when he’s drunk.
“Nala Yao, when were you most fabulous day of your life?” Leon took another sip of that whiskey.
I barely thought and said, “It was the day when I gave birth to Alex, and the moment when the nurse showed him to me.”
Leon nodded and said, “Great, sounds great! And what day is it when you feel the greatest pain?”
And this time I couldn’t think of an answer.
“Do you know why you couldn’t think of an answer?”
I looked at him with my dizzy head, “Why is that?”
“Because you are unhappy. People who are always miserable, their happiness was too short and their pain lasts long. So, you could only remember the happy moments and could remember when you are miserable.” He took a sip again.
He said it slightly and calmly, but this was making me sad. I almost burst into tears. Alcohol was always able to enhance ones’ emotions.
“Alright, I admit that I am not happy. Then what about you? Do you remember when you are in most pain?” I asked him.
“I won’t tell you,” Leon said.
I was angry and shouted, “What a rogue! You let other people tell you things and you won’t tell them yours?”
“Have I ever told you that I will tell you that?” Why must I say it then?” Leon said scornfully.
“Okay fine, I don’t even want to listen to it. I will go to sleep.” And I stood up groggy, he told me to sit down, but I didn’t listen to him this time. I was too drunk to stay awake, I have to go to sleep.
As I was almost walking to the corridor, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and say Leon was following me, who’s also walked groggily. He was very tall, and it’s funny to see a man walking groggily with this height, it seemed he could fall in no time.
“Nala Yao, wait for me! Don’t you dare listen to me!” Leon was really drunk that night.
I saw him drank two bottles of whiskey.
I leaned against the wall and felt so dizzy. It’s even hard for me to look up.
He came up to me. “Come on, I’ll carry you upstairs on my back.”
Saying that, Leon lowered his waist, but only bent over, didn’t bend his knees, he was so tall that I tried several times, but could not climb up on his back.
“You get down, or I won’t be able to get up,” I ordered him with guts.
Unexpectedly, he crouched down obediently. I climbed on his back. The strong masculine smell accompanied by the smell of alcohol suddenly hit me. I couldn’t help but feel a surge in my heart.
Although he was drunk, he was still very strong. He could still stand with no hesitation with me on his back and drunk. He carried me and took me upstairs.
“Nala Yao.”
I answered vaguely.
“Why are you so heavy?”
“I am not heavy, okay? I have a great figure.” I answered.
“Don’t deny the fact, you stupid woman.”
He carried me into a room and threw me into bed, I was too drunk but still, I could feel that this was not my room.
I got up and about to leave. Leon pushed me back into the bed and covered me with his body.
I was about to say something but was buried by his mouth. His tongue broke through my lips and teeth aggressively with the strong smell of whiskey.
My head went blank, a feeling of some secret desire rose. I held him when his kisses were moving down to my neck.
Alcohol breeds more and more desires. He ripped all my clothes and continued to hold me. I was confused with his touch, and finally, I had an organism.
I was woken up by thirst in the middle of the night. And when I opened my eyes, I noticed that I slept in his arms and we were both naked.
I got up lightly, looking for some water. Finally, I found a small bottle of water on the cabinet near the sofa.
I opened it and started to drink immediately. I could feel the water running into my stomach and easing the burning thirst.
As I was thinking that he might be thirsty as well, and wanted to leave some water for him, he got out of the bed naked and grabbed the water from me. He gulped it down and there was nothing left any for me.
And he gave the empty bottle back to me, went straight to bed and continued to sleep.
