Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Drinking Leads to Trouble
"Ah, that’s better, you have to know I’m not..." After finishing this sentence, he realized something was wrong, immediately stopped talking, and thought, ’No, no, I should never say that. If I let it out, Shen Dong would surely say something.’ But now he found it was already too late because he could feel the resentful gaze of the other party. No, that wasn’t what he meant at all.
He misunderstood me, what should I do? Is it still my fault? Thinking about this made him feel very guilty. He dodged to the side and began to piece together why the man yesterday had seemed so much like Shen Dong—a cluster of clues instantly formed a spider’s web, all interconnected, traceable.
So now, the only word to describe what I’m feeling is ’astounding’. How did I not realize this before? And besides, how could I take anything seriously when I was drunk?
Now he’s using that statement to mock me. It’s just too despicable; no way, no way, this is just my dark history! Back then, my girlfriends were even there beside me but didn’t remind me at all. The more Kang Yue thought about it, the more she felt ashamed.
"Why are you blushing like that? Were you planning on playing dumb? I knew you would act like this. I double-checked with you repeatedly whether you really wanted to go with that other person. You even told me it was because he was slightly more handsome. That was the first time I realized two people could be compared like that; it really was eye-opening," he said.
Every word Shen Dong spoke was dripping with sarcasm, his tone really interesting. As Kang Yue listened, her head bowed lower and lower—this wasn’t what she had said at all. This man was actually trying to slander her, too repulsive; no, no, she would not listen to him.
All she needed to do was set her mindset straight and counter with just one statement—that she had blacked out from drinking too much back then. After all, no one else could blame her for that, and so she firmly nodded. Acknowledging the incident, she then spoke up, "Everyone has their moments of blacking out. You’ve had them too, haven’t you?"
"Let’s not be so hard on each other. It wasn’t that serious of a matter after all. Besides, if that person hadn’t looked like you, I wouldn’t have approached them. It was just because he looked so much like you that I felt a slight fondness, which wasn’t betrayal, and I did reject him in the end.
See, I’ve repented. So why are you still bringing this up as if you’re settling accounts? What does that say about you, that you’re petty? How could you be so heartless to argue with a simple woman like me?"
No wonder people say Kang Yue is clever; her rapid-fire explanation had quickly diverted the topic. Shen Dong probably hadn’t expected her to be this formidable in arguing, and listening to her left his head buzzing.
Shen Dong had thought that once she sobered up, he could have a proper reckoning with her. Now, he realized he’d been too naive; how could he possibly settle this later? With the situation as it stood, he wouldn’t bring it up without clearing his own name first.
"This is always going to be the case with you, huh? No matter what I say, I’m wrong, right? I get it now. Next time, I must record it for you to believe it, so you see how smitten you look, and that you couldn’t recognize me back then. You just dashed towards him because you vaguely felt we looked alike," he said.
"Kang Yue, Kang Yue, next time, I’m never letting you drink alone, no matter what. Who knows what you’d be like when you drink, mistaking everyone for someone else? I won’t feel safe. If you want to drink, it’ll only be here in this house, and you can’t get drunk; you can only drink a little."
After thinking it through, Shen Dong decided to voice his decision, something he had contemplated for a long time. Letting her drunk moods cause chaos was driving him crazy. He felt they needed to seriously discuss this. After expressing his thoughts, Kang Yue just stood there, stunned, realizing this was stripping her of her right to drink.
Who knew how joyful her drinking times were, she’d forgotten all her past annoyances. Now that she couldn’t drink, what would she do with future worries? What would she rely on to ease her troubles? How could this man be so unreasonable? It was only one time she mistook someone else while drunk.
Men are indeed petty, unlike her girlfriends who knew how to accommodate her. Humph, she didn’t want to bother with this man anymore—it all came down to him wanting to control her.
So, showing her disagreement, she turned her head away, unwilling to engage further with him. Only able to see this reaction, he couldn’t help but laugh heartily; she was showing such temper now, why hadn’t it come out before? It must be because she hadn’t been drunk before; now that she was, she became so bold and nestled into his embrace.
Leaning close to her ear, he whispered, "I never knew you had such a temper before. You’re really surprising me now. But think about how we are going to settle this. I’m not going to let it slide easily this time. Otherwise, what will I do if this happens again? I’ve always been a man of principle."
Now Kang Yue really felt guilty, mainly because she had drunk so much she’d forgotten what she had done. But since he was so adamant it had occurred, she couldn’t even recall her feelings from then; she only had a vague memory. So now she was at a huge disadvantage, completely at this man’s mercy.
"No, wait, that was me being uncontrollable because I was drunk, but you... this is outright flirtatious debt, isn’t it? I definitely don’t have that, and you haven’t dealt with this either. Wow, now you’re trying to morally bind me? You’re such a bad person. I’m not talking to you anymore. First thing in the morning you want to argue with me. Don’t think I don’t know.
You’ve been bothering me about this all day yesterday, causing me to lose sleep. Look at how exhausted I am now. I’m going back to sleep some more. You just stay here and mind your own business," Kang Yue said before dashing back into her room, slamming the door shut behind her, completely ignoring whatever he kept saying outside. Drinking really did cause trouble.
