Aurora nodded fast in excitement, "Yeah..."
Sion stared at her for a moment without speaking, then turned and went back to his room without a
word.
Aurora looked in the direction of his leaving, and her chaotic mind began to work. Then she sat down
tamely on the sofa and waited for him to come out of the room, keeping her body unmoved.
Not long after, the door of the guest room opened.
Aurora staggered to her feet, eager to look at Sion.
Sion was wearing his doctor's overall, and his tall, slender figure stood in the doorway. In the lamplight,
his face was angular, and his dark eyes glinted with a psychedelic glow.
And his thin lips bent ambiguously.
"Look good?"
Aurora ran toward him with two steps at a time, the light in her eyes almost overflowing, "Yes! So
handsome!"
She rubbed against the doctor's overall on his chest and said, "I like Doctor Carroll the most!"
At that moment he felt his heart startled.
With another strange emotion in his eyes, Sion asked in a low voice, "You just said, who do you like?"
"Doctor Carroll in uniform..."
Cutting her short, Sion tightened his grip on her arm involuntarily and asked, "Will you still like me if I
don't wear my uniform?"
Aurora was so drunk that she had to mentally read over his question.
If he didn't wear his uniform...
How could she not like him?
At the time she fell in love with him, Sion wasn't wearing a uniform.
But then he wore this doctor's overall for most of the day so that his uniform became more and more
attractive in her eyes. Or more accurately, she would like him no matter what appearance he had.
"..."
Aurora's lips moved silently, but finally, the words didn't come out. It was been a long night, and she
was so dizzy that she fell asleep the next second.
After waiting for her answer for a long while, Sion looked down and saw she fall asleep leaning against
him.
"You bad girl..."
He gave himself a self-deprecating chuckle, wondering why he should have listened to the ravings of a
drunk person.
Then he carried Aurora into her room.
Her sleep was restless, and her face still flushed.
Seeing she frowning lightly as if in discomfort, Sion used a drenched towel to wipe her face.
Aurora fitfully grunted uncomfortably.
"So restless."
He stared at Aurora's sleeping face, almost believing what she just said for a moment.
She said she liked him in uniform, but he knew that she didn't like him at all.
Sion knew that there was someone else in her heart, whom he had never met but also couldn't replace.
The next morning, Aurora was woken by an alarm clock with a splitting headache.
Grimacing, she fumbled for her phone to turn off the alarm and, after a long rest, sat up in a daze.
She thought she had to get up for work even if she was hungover.
Wait?
All she remembered now was only going to the bar with her colleagues last night.
How did she get home after that?
She had no memory of it.
Aurora rubbed her eyes and realized that she had changed her nightgown.
Something was wrong because she was never rational when she was drunk.
She suddenly froze up, doubting that Sion helped her change her nightgown.
At the thought of it, she blushed. She was trying to recall everything but failed.
When she came out of her room after a long time of washing, to her surprise, she found Sion still at
home.
Not just that, he had made breakfast for the first time, and now was sitting at the table eating at a
leisurely pace.
He looked up and glanced at Aurora, then said calmly, "Come to breakfast."
Looking at the dishes laid on the table, Aurora went to sit down and took a sip of milk.
She peeked at the meticulous man sitting across from her, then she suddenly remembered something.
A picture flashed through her mind.
Last night, she went out of her way to hit on Sion in uniform. And she asked to kiss him and hug him,
which made her feel hard to look at him directly now.
"Cough! Cough..."
Aurora choked in shock at her sudden recollection of these images.
Sion uplifted his eyelids and gave her a look that sent her on the verge of a heart attack.
Aurora hurriedly lowered her head.
She believed it was Sion who put her in the nightgown.
Did they have sex?
That thought almost killed Aurora.
She was not a drinker as she would easily pass out when she got drunk.
Nobody could have predicted that she would run into Sion when she was drunk. What bad luck.
Aurora finally calmed down and reached for a piece of tissue. She observed Sion's expression and
tried to ask, "Last night, ... Did we have anything unpleasant?"
Eating with grace, Sion raised his eyes at her words, and the corners of his mouth went up in a half-
smile, "You don't remember?"
Aurora's heart sank at his words.
Did she have sex with Sion?
But if so, it didn't feel right to her.
She remembered the novels saying that the first time a girl had sex, her vagina would hurt her so much
that she even couldn't get out of bed.
But she felt nothing now.
Besides, she was asking about something unpleasant while she somehow thought having sex should
be a pleasant thing, maybe.
Aurora dug her hands into that piece of tissue, her mind racing. She wondered if she should ask Sion Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
directly and figure out what happened last night.
But she couldn't ask him anything embarrassing like this.
Before she could figure it out, she heard Sion's flat voice, "Don't worry, I wouldn't have any bad
thoughts with a drunk kid."
When Aurora was in a daze, he had gone out with his coat.
It was not until the sound of the door closing that she came to her senses.
Her heart seemed to sink deeper and deeper with this loud noise.
He wouldn't have any bad thoughts.
She wondered whether he wouldn't do that because she was drunk, or because she was Aurora.
Aurora didn't want to dwell on it.
Or rather, she always knew his answer.
Aurora sat at the table imaging for a while and nearly arrived late at work.
As soon as she entered the office, Alex approached her gallantly with a carton of hot milk and asked,
"Are you okay? Have a headache? I thought you would be absent today."
Smiling, Aurora took over his milk, "I'm okay, thank you, Alex."
Seemingly thinking of something, he talked to her like he didn't care, "Where did you go yesterday? I
came out of the bathroom, and you were gone."
Aurora felt a kind of guilt on hearing his question because she couldn't remember how she had gone
home last night.
She realized that Alex wasn't the person who had sent her home.
"I had an emergency, but forgot to tell you guys before I left the bar."
"That's all right."
Nodding, Alex joked, "It's good to see you're all right. I called you last night but you didn't answer. I was
scared that you had been taken away by some strange guy."
