Chapter 396 - Are You Drunk?
Chapter 396 - Are You Drunk?
Huo Yun Chen naturally noticed Xia Yu's discomfort.
His eyes narrowed as he wondered if his presence really made this nurse uncomfortable. Huo Yun Chen had long noticed that Nurse Xia Yu would often give him a strange look when she was looking at him.
Huo Yun Chen was planning to leave but when he recalled Little Star's request to look after Nurse Xia, Huo Yun Chen began to hesitate.
It seemed that it would be quite pitiful for Nurse Xia if he was to leave her alone, especially since she did not know anyone in this hall.
Xia Yu raised her head to glance at the celebrity and caught him staring back at her. Her face turned a little red and Xia Yu quickly grabbed the alcoholic drinks in front of her to ease her anxiety.
However, she soon realized that she had poured herself strong alcohol.
"Nurse Xia."
Her body stiffened when she heard his voice and Xia Yu subconsciously swallowed the drinks. Her eyes widened as she stared back at the empty glass. She had drunk the alcohol with such bravado...
"I did not expect that you would be close to Mrs. Lu."
Turning to him, Huo Yun Chen was still looking at her with a faint smile on his face. Xia Yu could notice that this man had probably realized something. She kept her calm and lowered her gaze."Mhm... we ran into each other a few times on the street and hit it off. Mrs. Lu, she is a good person."
"You are right. Mrs. Lu is a good person." A faint smile appeared on his face as he was thinking of how Little Star had helped him a few times previously.
He had thought that he might have a chance to be with her. However, when he finally met her, Little Star already had a man beside her.
Now that she was married, he could only wish for her happiness.
Huo Yun Chen narrowed his eyes slightly at the nurse. After pondering for a while, Huo Yun Chen decided to ask, "Nurse Xia, you don't seem to like me."
Xia Yu flashed a smile. "Celebrity Huo, I told you that you are thinking too much. It's just that, you are a popular celebrity and I felt a little starstruck."
Previously, Huo Yun Chen had asked him this kind of question when he was staying at the hospital she worked in. Back then, she had given him almost the same answer.
Huo Yun Chen pursed his lips into a thin line. Somehow, Huo Yun Chen did not believe the nurse's words.
He watched as the nurse poured herself another glass of drink and raised a brow. The alcoholic drink was a little strong. Huo Yun Chen could not help but think that this nurse was a great drinker.
As he continued to watch her from the corner of his eyes, Huo Yun Chen could not help but think that Nurse Xia gave him a familiar feeling.
"Nurse Xia, I wonder if we have met before?" Huo Yun Chen asked. He cleared his throat and explained. "I meant before I was admitted to the hospital."
Xia Yu's movement halted but before Huo Yun Chen could notice that there was something wrong with her, Xia Yu quickly regained her composure. "No. I don't think so."
Huo Yun Chen stared at her for a few seconds longer. Seeing that he could not get the answer he wanted, Huo Yun Chen quickly looked away.
Perhaps he was thinking too much.
Xia Yu continued to lower her gaze. Her hands trembled slightly as she thought of his question. Subconsciously, Xia Yu drank another glass of alcoholic drinks.
Her thought went back to the first time she had met Huo Yun Chen.
In fact, the first time she met Huo Yun Chen was not at the hospital. It was not in 'Legend of the Sky' either.
The first time she had met Huo Yun Chen, Xia Yu was still a student while Huo Yun Chen was still an unpopular singer who often sing at a bar.
Contrary to Huo Yun Chen's guess, Xia Yu was not an anti-fan. Xia Yu was actually one of his fans. She had liked him before he had debuted. When Huo Yun Chen finally debuted, Xia Yu was among the happiest person.
She had bought his singles, album, merchandise and had attended his concerts.
That was how much she had liked him.
Imagine her surprise when she found out that the idol she liked was playing the same game as she did. And then, years later, he had asked her to marry him in-game.
The reason she wanted to keep her distance from him was also that she liked him too much. Huo Yun Chen was the idol who had given her encouragement when she was down.
Xia Yu realized that the two of them were living in a different world and wanted to keep things that way. This was the real world and it was best if she did not dream of impossible things.
The wedding reception finally reached its end. As the bride and groom had left the hall, the guests decided that it was time to go home, leaving only a few people around who decided to stay and fool around.
Huo Yun Chen took out his phone and dialed Lin You's number to inform her that he would be leaving soon.
Fortunately, he had booked his stay at the hotel and would not need Lin You to pick him up.
As he was going to leave, Huo Yun Chen turned to Nurse Xia, wanting to excuse himself. However, he soon noticed that there was something wrong with the girl.
"Nurse Xia?"
Xi Yu remained seated at the same position. Her head drooped and her long hair hung down to cover both sides of her cheek. Her hand was still holding on to her glass.
Huo Yun Chen shifted his gaze to the bottle and the corner of his lips started to twitch.
Just now, when he noticed that Nurse Xia did not want to talk to him, Huo Yun Chen had taken out his phone and browsed through his social media. He did not look at the nurse and did not realize that she had drunk a lot.
"Nurse Xia, are you alright?"
The person finally sat up straight.
Just as Huo Yun Chen could breathe in relief and escape, he then noticed Nurse Xia's reddened face.
"Nurse Xia, are you drunk?"
"Nonsense." The woman narrowed her eyes at him. "Wait. I know you." She tried to observe him for a long time but soon, her head drooped again. Afraid that she was going to fall, Huo Yun Chen quickly caught her in his arms.
He lowered his head and saw that she had passed out.
Thinking that this person had looked after him at the hospital, Huo Yun Chen did not have the heart to leave her alone like this.
After a brief hesitation, Huo Yun Chen dialed a number.
