The bar was big and the entire floor could be used to avoid Xiao Hua if things were to get out of control.

With that Yu Dong was calm enough to ignore the burning gaze that was pointed at top of her head, she lowered her head and picked up the cup that had the leftover wine and took a sip, however just as she was going to drown the entire amount, she paused and then looked at Xiao Hua who was staring at her with his elbow placed on the armrest of the chair and head resting against the knuckles of his fingers, she thought about something and put the cup down on the table.

Though her drinking capacity was good it was still better to not get drunk with a mer in company, what if she did something that she would have never done when she was completely rational? Drinking at the moment was really dangerous and dangerous things always came with risks, one that she didn’t want to take. Pushing the wine jar away, Yu Dong leaned back on her chair, maybe she should go to the top floor and stay the night there?

She was still pondering on what she should be doing when Xiao Hua raised his head and looked at Yu Dong with a sly look in his eyes. ” Pour me some wine.”

Yu Dong’s head snapped up as she looked at Xiao Hua in surprise and horror. ” What are you even saying? Do you even know that your alcohol intake is not good? You do know that right.”

Xiao Hua rolled his eyes as he picked up the wine jar and the cup that Yu Dong has left on the table, because he leaned all of a sudden, Yu Dong caught a glimpse of the jade white skin as the robe went loose on his body and cleared her throat before looking away with determination.

See no temptation, hear no temptation, don’t talk to any temptation.

She chanted in her head as she looked at the corner of the bar where the empty wine barrels were sitting. She heard a clink and turned her head to look at Xiao Hua who was pouring himself a generous amount of wine and she couldn’t help but say, ” If you get drunk then I will not take care of you.”

Xiao Hua took a sip of the wine that was overflowing in the cup and then turned to look at her with a frown. ” I am cold, you have no idea, I was supposed to have a good time shopping for a wonderful piece of cloth before having dinner in the Song restaurant but before I could do that the clouds started to pour down like they have been waiting for eons to let their shower down. I walked from the Song family to the bar, I am soaked to my bones, if I don’t drink wine, I am going to get sick by tomorrow morning.”

His explanation was correct but Yu Dong was worried that Xiao Hua will lose control, the guy seemed like he could hold his alcohol well but the truth was that he couldn’t even drink past three cups before he starts losing control of his emotions. If something like this happened when they were alone then she didn’t know what might happen so even though she knew that she was being a bit selfish, she still said, ” I know but you shouldn’t be drinking with a woman when you are alone… I know that you trust me but you should still be defensive.” She paused and then added, “At least be careful and don’t drink more than a cup.”

” If you are so worried that I will get drunk then you might as well do something else that will heat my body,” said Xiao Hua as he finished drinking his first shot Yu Dong already felt like trouble was brewing. She tried to yank the wine jar from his hands but Xiao Hua held on to it tightly and then looked at Yu Dong before tugging the wine jar back along with her wrist. ” I never paid attention but you have a pretty thin and delicate looking wrist, Yu Dong.”

” What are you——” began Yu Dong but then Xiao Hua leaned closer to her wrist and poked out his tongue and she knew immediately what he was going to do, her eyes widened and she shook her head fervently. ” Don’t you dare Xiao Hua!”

But she was still a step late as Xiao Hua was already dragging his tongue along her skin.

Stunned, Yu Dong retracted her hand back immediately before she stood up from the seat as if she was burned and looked at Xiao Hua who was lazily looking at her with half-lidded eyes. ” What are you doing, Xiao Hua?” She asked feeling like she has been thrown off her loop. ” You can do better, don’t ..don’t mistake something for something else… this is not love.”

She whispered the last part as if afraid that she would break Xiao Hua.

But the latter just snickered before pouring some more wine in his cup and drinking it all in one gulp, only then did he stand up from his seat and Yu Dong immediately picked on a defensive stance as she warned. ” Don’t you dare, Xiao Hua…stay where you are, we can’t do anything of the sort that you have in your head.”

Xiao tilted his head and brilliantly smiled. ” I am afraid it’s too late, Yu Dong.”
