Chapter 404: Chapter 404

What kind of person would deliberately slow their pace to ensure steady footsteps?

Either a cripple or someone who has had too much to drink.

Su Lu couldn’t help but glance back at Shen Xun.

Holding a small porcelain cup, Shen Xun sipped slowly. Noticing Su Lu’s look, he quirked up a corner of his mouth and smiled, "What? Feeling sorry for me?"

Embarrassed to express her concern in front of her brother, Su Lu could only sigh and said, "I’ll go check."

She got up and left the private room.

Yida poured Shen Xun another drink and said, "She does realize she can’t go into the men’s restroom, right?"

Shen Xun just smiled and drained his cup.

"Hey, why don’t you call Su Zhe out? Doesn’t he like this liquor? Wu Hui only has this much left, brought it all here, once it’s gone, it’s gone," Yida said.

Wu Hui’s homemade liquor was good, but he never sold it commercially; it was just for family consumption and for sharing with friends, in limited quantities that once finished, would be no more.

Having heard this, Shen Xun merely shook his head slightly, "He’s not available."

There was no telling sign on his face; adults are often very good at concealing their emotions.

Yet, in other details, emotions can unintentionally be revealed.

For instance, Shen Xun’s expression and tone gave nothing away.

But whereas he had been slowly enjoying his drink from a small cup before, now he was silently downing drinks from a large cup, gulping them down.

Su Lu walked along the corridor to the end before realizing, "Ah, right, anxiety has clouded my judgment."
