Seeing the look of surprise on the young girl’s face, Gu Bai calmly picked up an apple from the table and began peeling it while explaining.
“You were blackout drunk, so of course I had to bring you back. Did you think I’d leave you at the bar?”
A hint of mockery crept into Gu Bai’s voice.
Now that Su Shuhao wasn’t his girlfriend, he had to take every chance to annoy her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel satisfied.
Su Wan’er heard Gu Bai’s words and tried to recall last night’s events.
No matter how hard she thought, she couldn’t remember what had happened.
She only knew that her head felt groggy, just like the symptoms of being blackout drunk that Gu Bai had mentioned.
‘Could it really be because I drank too much?’
Su Wan’er was puzzled.
Then she suddenly thought of something.
A man and a woman alone in a room…
All night…
And she was drunk…
All these conditions immediately made Su Wan’er think of certain doujinshi and gal game plots.
As a result, her fair little face turned as red as an apple.
Moreover, her eyes couldn’t help scanning her own clothes, as if looking for some kind of trace.
Gu Bai naturally noticed Su Wan’er’s strange behavior and explained.
“I didn’t do anything to you, and you don’t need to worry that I would.”
After receiving Gu Bai’s reply, Su Wan’er didn’t doubt him and believed his words without hesitation.
“Come to think of it, this isn’t the first time you’ve experienced something like this.” Gu Bai took a bite of the apple and continued. “Back then, you also got drunk, and I stayed with you all night, didn’t I? Why are you getting all flustered now, like a little girl?”
Such a casual remark piqued Su Wan’er’s curiosity.
She seemed to have never heard about the things that happened between her sister and Gu Bai.
So after thinking over her words, she pretended to have forgotten and said, “Is that so? I seem to… have forgotten.”
Her disguise was flawless, at least in her own opinion.
Faced with Su Wan’er’s confusion, Gu Bai didn’t probe further.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “At that time, you thought that if you got drunk, you wouldn’t be afraid of the opposite sex, so you downed two big glasses…”
“And then? And then?”
Su Wan’er’s heart was like a kitten encountering a ball of yarn—she wished Gu Bai would speak faster.
Seeing Su Wan’er’s urging expression, Gu Bai spread his hands helplessly and said, “And then, just like now, you blacked out. You held onto my arm all night and wouldn’t let me leave. Then when you woke up the next day, you kicked me away and turned your back on me.”
After hearing this, Su Wan’er almost laughed out loud.
But when she realized that Su Shuhao had held Gu Bai’s arm all night, her expression froze.
Now she had only one thought in her mind.
‘Why did I sleep so soundly last night! I missed such a good opportunity.’
Su Wan’er felt a bit regretful.
“So, you’re worried about what I might do to you? Isn’t that funny?”
Gu Bai sighed and said, “Even when we were boyfriend and girlfriend, I never did anything out of line with you.”
“Ah…”
Gu Bai’s heartfelt words made Su Wan’er feel a pang of sympathy.
She also understood her sister’s situation, so she knew that her sister owed Gu Bai.
Gu Bai had given everything he could to Su Shuhao.
But the latter couldn’t even manage the simplest kiss between lovers.
Others might think Gu Bai’s behavior was pathetic, but Su Wan’er understood it was a sign of his responsibility.
If Gu Bai had forced anything on Su Shuhao, given her severe heterophobia, she could have fainted or gone into shock.
“Sorry.”
Thinking this, Su Wan’er still apologized on behalf of her sister.
But Gu Bai said nonchalantly, “It’s all in the past. Apologizing to me now doesn’t really mean anything, especially since it’s a problem with your body.”
Gu Bai wasn’t one to hold grudges.
In fact, wasn’t Su Shuhao completely good for nothing?
At least…
In high school, she had worked very hard to overcome her terrible heterophobia.
That was also why she wanted to drink.
But with her alcohol tolerance, it was better for her not to drink at all.
The two of them took a moment to calm down.
Gu Bai looked at the girl, who was basically fine, and felt relieved.
Since she was okay, he knew it was about time for him to leave.
So he stood up and said to Su Wan’er, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”
“Ah… okay…”
But before Su Wan’er could finish, her sharp little ears caught the sound of the front door opening.
Su Wan’er’s heart skipped a beat.
She knew that her parents wouldn’t come here.
The only person who could open the door was her own sister.
But the problem was that in this situation, she absolutely could not let her sister come in!
If she came in, not only would Gu Bai discover her relationship with Su Shuhao, but her sister would also find out about her restless behavior.
So in a panic, Su Wan’er quickly grabbed Gu Bai’s hand and said urgently, “My sister… my younger sister is back. Don’t leave yet—find a place to hide!”
Su Wan’er didn’t care whether Gu Bai would refuse or not.
Without another word, she grabbed his hand and pulled him upstairs.
When they reached the door to her own room, Su Wan’er hesitated, then gritted her teeth and continued toward Su Shuhao’s room.
Su Wan’er understood that Gu Bai definitely knew which room her sister was in, so she couldn’t take him to her own room.
After entering Su Shuhao’s bedroom, Su Wan’er looked around and said to Gu Bai, “Hide under the bed first! Don’t let my younger sister find you.”
“Is this really necessary…”
Gu Bai looked at Su Wan’er’s frantic state and couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.
He wanted to refuse, but the girl had already forced him under the bed, leaving him no room to argue.
Meanwhile, Gu Bai, now under the bed, was a bit puzzled about the situation between Su Shuhao and her own younger sister.
He had to hide under the bed like he was being caught in an affair.
“Shh…”
Su Wan’er instructed him.
“I’ll come find you later.”
With that, the young girl hurried downstairs.
When she returned to the living room, she saw Su Shuhao, dressed in a school uniform, sitting on the sofa. In her hand was the apple that Gu Bai had taken a few bites from.
“This is the apple you peeled, Wan’er, right? Let me have a bite…”
“No.”
Su Wan’er snatched the apple away without a second thought.
