Song Yan woke up the next day completely bewildered, clinging desperately to a blue toy ball in her arms, and she had no recollection of where it came from.
Checking the time, it was already past ten in the morning.
She placed a call to Gu Chenxiao, and he picked up almost immediately.
"Awake?" His magnetic voice flowed into her ears, instantly soothing her headache slightly.
"Um..." Song Yan glanced at the small leather ball she had tossed onto the floor and asked with her eyes shut, "Did I drink too much last night?"
Gu Chenxiao replied, "Not really, it wasn't that much."
Not really?
It wasn't that much?
Did that mean...
Song Yan asked cautiously, "So, after I got drunk, you took me away?"
"Yeah."
Just as Song Yan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Gu Chenxiao added, "But you didn't want to leave."
A sense of foreboding washed over Song Yan instantly.
With a moment's hesitation, she ventured again, "That blue little leather ball, did you give it to me?"
"No."
