With that, she grabbed the bottle in one hand and put the other on Cardy's shoulder, like best buddies.
"Actually, I... I..." Cardy stammered, as if he had something he couldn't talk about.
Xin Xiaoxiao hiccuped and looped her arm around Cardy's neck, shaking him a bit, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I can't drink," Cardy turned his head to look at Xin Xiaoxiao.
Their faces were only inches apart.
Xin Xiaoxiao's bright eyes sparkled like the stars in the sky at that moment, but for Cardy, they were like meteors, flashing by in his eyes and mind.
"Thud."
Cardy suddenly flopped onto the table, knocking over the bowls and cups in front of him.
That sudden movement looked painful.
Xin Xiaoxiao stared blankly at Cardy, who lay motionless on the table. What... what was going on here?
After a moment of confusion, she reached out and gently pushed Cardy, "Hey."
No response.
