Chapter 279 Sleeping at Your House
Xie Tu looked up at her, a hint of uneasy expression in his eyes. "It's nothing."
Xie Tu took two steps, his steps remaining as steady as ever.
His back was straight, like a taut, cold arrow.
"I'm not drunk," Xie Tu said in a low voice after walking around twice.
At this moment.
The phoenix followed the little bluebird in, wobbling unsteadily. It crashed into the door with a loud "bang".
Yun Zhao: "..." He's putting on quite a good act.
Yun Zhao was too lazy to check his condition; he only needed to observe the Fire Phoenix.
Seeing him like this, she dared not let him drive her home.
The training ground is halfway up the mountain, and the outside is all mountain roads, which are very slippery because of the snow.
The road down the mountain is even more difficult to walk.
Falling to the bottom of the mountain is no laughing matter.
But how is she going to get back?
Her teammates were already used to their captain seeing her off, and they never even thought of giving her a ride when they left.
"Let's go, it's too late. I'll take you home to rest." Xie Tu turned to get his coat, but accidentally kicked an empty wine bottle on the ground.
The bottle made a loud noise and rolled a long way.
I'm not going back.
Yun Zhao glanced at the bottle on the ground, made up her mind, and said softly, "I'll sleep at your place."
Xie Tu froze as he reached for his coat, then turned to look at her.
His eyes were deep, and his throat bobbed involuntarily. "Really not going back?"
Yun Zhao confirmed: "I won't reply."
She cherishes her life.
How frustrating would it be if two S-class cars died young in a car accident on a snowy day?
If word gets out, people will laugh their heads off!
The training room was a mess, and there was no way to sleep on the floor there.
We were just going to his house to rest for one night, for only a few hours, and then the two of us would go into the city together in the morning.
＊
The warm yellow light in the entryway was turned on.
As soon as they entered, the little bluebird flew inside, followed by the staggering fire phoenix that was trailing behind.
The phoenix was already unconscious, but it still followed closely behind the little bluebird.
It flew up and down, swaying from side to side, and the flames inside its body seemed to be getting out of control, with sparks popping out from time to time.
Xie Tu bent down to get her slippers, his behavior seeming the same as usual.
If Yun Zhao hadn't almost tripped while leading her down the valley, he might have been suspicious and thought that Huo Feng was deliberately putting on an act to keep her there.
However, the Fire Phoenix doesn't seem to be that smart.
It dared not deceive the little bluebird.
Xie Tu had already placed the slippers beside her feet.
This time, the slippers were not the disposable hotel slippers from before, but a pair of fluffy pink slippers.
As Yun Zhao changed his shoes, he asked, "Did you take them from the warehouse too?"
She also has a pair of the exact same ones at home.
It's just blue.
"Um."
Xie Tu tried his best to stay awake, deliberately turning his head away from her, and said in a hoarse voice, "The room is on the second floor. It's too late now, you should go upstairs and rest first."
"And what about you?" Yun Zhao asked.
He's going to the sentry training camp tomorrow, so he's getting up even earlier than me.
He got this drunk from such a small amount of alcohol.
Shouldn't we rest?
Xie Tu paused for a moment, then finally looked up at her, his eyes filled with turbulent thoughts, and said in a low voice, "There is only one bedroom in the house."
Yun Zhao nodded. "Of course I know."
He lives alone and doesn't like people coming to his house, so who would bother to have two bedrooms?
She herself only has one bedroom in her house.
But it seems he won't let her sleep on the sofa, so he'll just have to make do with sleeping on the sofa for one night.
Xie Tu's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily again.
Did they know you were staying overnight?
Even though the air conditioning wasn't on, he felt hot all over and wanted to go upstairs immediately to take a cold shower.
This is the first time in 26 years that I've felt nervous.
Xie Tu felt he might really be drunk, otherwise why would he let her sleep here?
"There's no air conditioning upstairs, I'll go boil some water first."
Xie Tu put on his slippers and walked inside, his back view looking rather like he was fleeing in panic. He even forgot to turn on the living room light and almost stepped on the red ball that the fire phoenix had brought home.
Yun Zhao: "..."
In such cold weather, there's no air conditioning in the bedroom.
Doesn't he feel cold when he sleeps?
Yun Zhao followed, and after weighing his options, said, "Actually, I can just go down to the living room."
At least there's air conditioning.
Xie Tu was facing away from her, filling the kettle with water. "No."
He spoke at a steady pace, with a hint of domineering.
This contrasts sharply with the fire phoenix that keeps crashing into the wall.
Only one night light was on in the entrance hall downstairs.
The living room was dimly lit, and this kind of atmosphere easily makes people's minds wander.
Xie Tu tilted his head back slightly, trying to clear his mind, and explained, "The sofas at home are all solid wood, and even with blankets on them, they're still uncomfortable."
"I'll get you a hot water bottle and two blankets."
Xie Tu: "I'll buy another air conditioner tomorrow, so it'll be available next time I come."
A subtle, intoxicating atmosphere permeates the text.
next time?
Is there a next time?
Yun Zhao confirmed that he was indeed drunk.
Despite being unable to hold their liquor, they still dared to drink...
Xie Tu's eyes flickered, his mind racing, and he said, "Or should I take the living room unit down now and install it upstairs?"
He thought it was a good idea, rolled up his sleeves, and looked ready to get started.
Yun Zhao shook his head abruptly: "No need!"
Why would someone take apart an air conditioner in the middle of the night when it's freezing cold?
If this goes on, will I even be able to sleep tonight?
You can't reason with a drunkard.
I'll just have to put up with the lack of air conditioning and sleep upstairs.
Yun Zhao didn't even ask him where he was sleeping before hurriedly leaving, saying, "It's too late, I'll go upstairs to wash up first."
She smelled strongly of alcohol and needed to take a shower.
Otherwise, you'll smell terrible when you wake up tomorrow morning.
＊
Yun Zhao had been to his house several times, but this was the first time he had gone up to the second floor.
Compared to the empty and cold downstairs, the second floor finally has a bit more of a living atmosphere.
The staircase faces a small living room.
The room has dark brown solid wood flooring, and huge bookshelves on both sides, filled with books and documents.
The solid wood table in the center was very clean, with a computer on it, folders neatly arranged, and a water glass next to it.
His old communicator was also on it.
Opposite the bookcase, there is a low cabinet on the wall, on which some things are displayed.
There was a half-open door on one side of the balcony, which seemed to be a corner for resting. Yun Zhao saw a simple recliner.
She realized it was too late, she still needed to take a shower, and she could only sleep for a few hours, so she lost interest in continuing to look around.
The little bluebird clearly knew where the bedroom was and led her in with practiced ease.
Yun Zhao pushed open the door and fumbled to turn on the light.
The room felt more lived-in.
The large and tidy bed took center stage. The bed was made flat without a single wrinkle, and the quilt was folded into a square, like a block of tofu waiting to be inspected.
A lamp sits on the bedside table, its soft light casting a glow on a small alarm clock.
On the other side of the room was a wardrobe, its doors tightly shut, with a coat rack next to the door on which he had taken off his coat.
There are two other small doors.
One path leads to another room whose purpose is unclear.
The other path leads to the bathroom.
It seems like there's only one bathroom in his house.
Until this point.
Yun Zhao belatedly realized that perhaps drunk people don't even realize they're drunk?
She may have been unconscious throughout.
Otherwise, why would she suggest sleeping at his house and run into his room?
