Chapter 6 – Angry and deadbeat
Wu Xue hurried to Su Yi’s place, her hand shaking so badly she entered the wrong password quite a couple of times.
As she entered the pin she was shouting out, “Su Yi! Su Yi!! Are you still alive in there?!”
No one replied.
The door finally let out a ‘Di’, indicating that it had been unlocked. Wu Xue entered the house, retrieving a knife she’d always kept just in case from her bag.
There was no one in the living room, the house was really quiet.
“…Su Yi?” Wu Xue called once.
“Uh.”
A small sound came from the bedroom, Wu Xue didn’t think twice about rushing in there.
The room was extremely tidy, not a single bit messy. The person she was looking for was lying on the bed, covered in her blanket, only half of her face peeking out.
Su Yi’s phone lay by the bed, on it a whole screen of unanswered calls.
The house stank of alcohol, it’s easy to tell that Su Yi had drank quite a lot. Wu Xue looked around, confirming that there wasn’t anyone else in the house.
Before she could ask, she heard a ‘bang’ as the door was shoved open and a series of footsteps sounded. From the sound of it there were quite a few people. Wu Xue turned around instinctively, and saw a guy wearing a policeman uniform at the door.
When he saw Wu Xue he paused too. “Little Xue, where’s she?”
The guy was Liu Minghao, Wu Xue’s boyfriend. He’d been getting off work when he got a call from Wu Xue saying that something happened to Su Yi, asking him to bring someone to XX Condominium.
“…No idea,” Wu Xue gently patted Su Yi’s face. “Su Yi, wake up.”
Su Yi followed Wu Xue’s hand and lay on her waist, dazedly opening her eyes and asking, “Why are you here?”
The policemen who came with Liu Minghao had come to the bedroom too. At one glance they were all shocked – the person on the bed was really familiar… she looked like a movie star.
When Wu Xue saw that she was clear-headed, she let out a sigh of relief. Then she told the people at the door, “She looks fine now, I’m sorry, I was too anxious just now, and troubled you all to make this trip. I’ll treat you all to dinner someday with Minghao.”
After sending Liu Minghao and company away, Wu Xue sat down by the bed and dragged Su Yi out of the bed.
Su Yi leant against her, asking, “Where’s Chu Ying?”
She was too anxious just now; it’s only now that she could make heads and tails of the situation. Wasn’t that the name Su Yi had mentioned before? She said in a bad mood, “No idea, can you stand up by yourself?”
Upon hearing that, Su Yi stood straight with the aid of the wall, even blankly adding, “It appears so.”
Wu Xue rolled her eyes and went to get the hot water running in the bath.
Twenty minutes later, Su Yi was lying in the bathtub, allowing Wu Xue to play with her hair.
After thinking about it, Wu Xue was still not too at ease and asked, “Nothing was done to you by that something Ying right?”
“No.” She sounded really regretful.
“That’s good,” Wu Xue finished tying her hair up and stuffed it all in the shower cap, “You should go on a diet, I almost couldn’t hold you up just now.”
Su Yi mumbled, “I’m standard, you’re the one who doesn’t have enough strength.”
Wu Xue was about to get up when Su Yi said, “Little Xue Xue, help me get my phone.”
“No,” Wu Xue rejected her request. “Finish and come out, drunkards cannot take baths. If it wasn’t that you had a promotion tomorrow, I’d let you sleep in that stink until tomorrow morning.”
Su Yi let out an ‘oh’. The heat cleared her head up enough for her to think to ask, “Why did you call Liu Minghao over?”
“Oh and you’re not embarrassed to ask.” Wu Xue told her what happened. “What were you thinking? How many times have I told you not to drink when I’m not around, you’re a public figure, do you know how dangerous it is to get drunk outside?”
Su Yi was a little dizzy as she obediently closed her mouth and let Wu Xue reprimand her.
Wu Xue had finished with her hair and was leaning against the wall, checking, “Chu Ying was the one at the Charity Gala?”
Su Yi smiled, her eyes sparkling with her good mood.
She’d been captivate
