"Urgh.."Fei Shuang woke up sluggishly. She slowly opened her eyes and blinked a few times. Her head was hurting so badly, as if it was. .h.i.t with a rod.
How drunk did she get last night for her to be in such a state? The last time she drank this much was the night of her graduation out of college.
Drowsily, she shot her eyes open once more and wandered to the multicolored blanket— Wait a minute, and when did she get tucked under the blanket? As far as she could remember, she slept with empty bottles of beer on her but as she gently observed her surroundings, there was not a single bottle near or even behind the sofa, not even on the centre table that contained the candy bowl she continuously puked on but only to see pancakes—
And wait... her eyes encountered a white paper placed under the gla.s.s cup with 2 pills of whatsoever she didn"t know. She gently took the paper and read the content which says, "I didn"t want to wake you up because i knew you had too much alcohol yesterday. Don"t look for me and don"t worry too much,take the pills after eating to soothe the headache. I"ve gone out for some groceries and will be back very soon.... Well maybe even come back while you"re still sleeping XD.
~Girlfriend"
Now she understood, it was all ZhenZhu"s work. But how did she clean up the house and even make breakfast on time? Did she woke up early? What time is it exactly?
Fei Shuang looked at the wall clock and read the time struck 12:OO PM. "Huh? It"s already 12:OO?" She almost jaw dropped then continue, "Does this mean ZhenZhu didn"t go to work today, all because of me?" She questioned herself, confused.
"This wasn"t want I wanted, I don"t want to affect ZhenZhu"s work..." Fei Shuang murmurs. Anyways, she shouldn"t let the pancakes run cold and slowly grabbed the armrest of her powered wheelchair. She suddenly had the urge to pee and needed to wash her face too.
She slowly directed her movement towards the bedroom, and went straight into the bathroom. She used a lot of effort to adjust herself onto the toilet seat. There were tears and screaming fits as she supported her head with her hand.
"Ouch.. it hurts so bad.. Gosh, life is getting harder and harder for me. I can"t even squat on the toilet sit anymore, this is driving me crazy. G.o.d did I offend in you anyway?
Well definitely, when was the last time i went to church or even bow down to pray?" She couldn"t remember, maybe that was the reason why G.o.d is angry with her.
In her moment of desperation, she said to G.o.d, "I don"t know why this has happened, but if you can make me to understand this, it might make things a little easier."
Fei Shuang moved towards the laboratory to brush her teeth. She gently squeezed the toothpaste.
After brushing up her mouth and washed her face, she steered her movement out of the bedroom and went straight to the sitting room. She discovered that ZhenZhu was already back.
ZhenZhu saw her and said, "You"re up? The pancakes have already gone cold,come while i reheat it in the microwave for you."
"Wait, I"ll eat it like that. I"m so hungry that I can"t wait for that long."
"Ok, as you wish." ZhenZhu dropped the plate back to its rightful place and continued, "Do you know that Angel is still sleeping? I wonder what he did last night to be so tired.
"Ahhh I can"t believe i-it.." Fei Shuang suddenly stopped talking after recalling what happened yesterday night. She was actually the one who poured a whole bottle of beer into Angel"s bowl.
"Oh s.h.i.t! Did i really do that? That"s so mean."
"You can see it for yourself if you want to."
"No thanks. This is so good! Mmmmmm yummy! The pancakes are wonderful!" Fei Shuang couldn"t resist and praised ZhenZhu"s dish. The pancakes were covered in honey with blueberries.
"I"m so happy you like it. You need to change. Let me go fill the bathtub while you eat."
Fei Shuang only nodded and continued eating.
She was so hungry that she ate all it all and even end up burping.
"Burpp.. G.o.d I"m even adapting to bad habits."
She just finished taking the pills when she heard a sound from the front door.
*click*
"I"m coming!!" ZhenZhu spoke from the comfort room.
"Don"t worry Girlfriend I"ll open the door and see who it is." Fei Shuang immediately directed her movement to the door."
*click*
*click*
"Gosh I"m almost there!" Fei Shuang murmured to herself as she opened the lock. She was surprised with the person at the door.
The man noticed her face reaction and said,
"What? Why are you looking at me like that? Won"t you welcome me in?"
Fei Shuang only stared at him. Not a single word escaped her mouth. He was an average height man with bushy eyebrows and brown almond shaped eyes. He had a symmetrical face with a few days" growth of beard. His hair was a fine coffee brown matching his casual wear.
"Who is it?" ZhenZhu asked in annoying tone while holding a shower gel. She immediately threw what she was holding at the man but he slightly dodged.
"What are you doing here you thief?! What do you want now eh? More Money?"
ZhenZhu asked coldly as the anger inside her began to boil.
The mans countenance darkened as he heard ZhenZhu"s words.
"I don"t need your money. How many times do i have to apologize to you ZhenZhu? I"m not here on my own will, Fei Shuang called me last night."
"You"re a liar! How do you expect me to believe your cheap lies?! Fei Shuang would never call you." ZhenZhu immediately disagreed.
Fei Shuang wasn"t sure if what he was saying was a lie, so she decided to speak up. "I didn"t call you Monkey,did i?"
"Yes you did. Let me remind you what happened, you called me around 1:50.. maybe 55 and said you wanted to do business. You said you"d pay me a huge amount of money just to burn your house and castrate Cao Feng!"
"Burn her house? Castrate Cao Feng?! Are you beginning to come up with things you bad monk—"
Monkey wasn"t in the mood to listen to any of ZhenZhu"s accusations nor her bad mouthing and immediately cut her off.
"I"m not done ZhenZhu. I knew you (Fei Shuang) would never agree to do business with me ever since the incident that happened a while ago and you sounded a bit drunk so i—"
Fei Shuang stopped him from finishing what he wanted to say after recalling everything that happened yesterday, "You convinced me not to burn the house but rather sell everything inside it and keep the money for yourself. And you promised you"d make Cao Fengs life more worst than death."
"What have I done Fei Shuang?!"
ZhenZhu wanted to open Fei Shuang"s skull to see if her brain was working well. She wondered if Fei Shuang had really gone bananas.
"Why did you do that girlfriend?What were you even thinking?!" ZhenZhu looked at her as if she wanted to beat her up.
"..."
"Why on earth did i call Monkey after what he did? He scammed my best friend and ran away on their wedding day!" Since it was clearly her own stupidity that put her into this mess, all she could do was go silent.
"Well you made such decisions because you were drunk and that"s why i don"t blame you. I should have pressed charges against you Monkey when i had the chance, now get out of my sight before i call the police!" ZhenZhu spoke out of anger as she tries to lock the door but was stopped by Monkey.
"Wait, I"m not done yet! I"ve got something important to say and give you and Fei Shuang but I suggest it in private. Let me get in the house first."
After not saying anything for about 3 minutes, ZhenZhu conceded.
"Fine! You can come in but you only have 10 minutes and then you"ll leave." ZhenZhu was busy talking to Fei Shuang and didn"t get to see the suppressed smile on monkey"s face.
"It"s ok for me." He entered the house.

People do unimaginative things when they"re drunk, believe me. I hope this changes your perspective of "alcohol drives away pain" because it only makes things worst.
Ehh... I"m not here to preach anyone. It"s just an advice. I"ll update the next chapter soon!
