Chapter 46 - I Asked You to Let Go of Me, Did You Hear Me?
When she arrived back home, it was almost midnight. Wen Xinya reeked of alcohol and was feeling a little nauseous. She sat in the courtyard under the viburnum tree. She could smell the mild fragrance from the viburnum flowers and feel the breeze that blew onto her face. It made her relaxed and comfortable.
“Why did you come back so late?” asked a cold voice, sending chills down her spine.
Wen Xinya looked up and squinted her eyes. She saw Si Yiyan standing in front of her. Under the dim moonlight, she could not make much of his expression clearly, and all she could see was a dark shadow covering his face. This gave her a mysterious feeling.
“You have been drinking!” Si Yiyan added.
Wen Xinya’s eye sparkled. She replied, “Mm, today is Second Young Master Xu’s birthday. We were celebrating for him so we had a few drinks. I was able to hold my liquor and did not get drunk. Xu-er and a few other friends weren’t as good. They got drunk and couldn’t even balance themselves.”
There was some excitement in her voice. It was obvious that she had enjoyed herself at the party. “Let me help you to your room. You shouldn’t be out in the wind after drinking. You’ll catch a cold.”
It was probably the effect from the alcohol, Wen Xinya was acting childishly than usual. She pouted and responded, “No! I want to look at the stars and count every one of them. Who said there are too many stars in the sky? I want to count them all tonight!”
Right at this moment, Wen Xinya suddenly shook her head hard to dispel her thoughts. “Splat! Splat! Splat! Serve the Emperor? Don’t forget you are now in your younger, underage body!”
