Bab 459: Chapter 462 Drink with Me 02_1

Despite pouring out her heart to Mu Xiaoyao today, Baili Xia, who should be the one feeling down, is somehow not.

However, why does it seem that Brother is the one battling the heaviest of moods?

"Brother." This time, Baili Xia placed her hand on his, stopping his motion to take another drink.

Staring at his eyes, which were already glazed over from alcohol, Baili Xia tried to reason with him.

"Brother, if there's something troubling you, could you tell me, please?"

"If you resent me, you can vent your anger. There's no need to..."

"I do not resent you." Mu Xiaoyao's grip on the glass tightened.

Nevertheless, he pushed her hand away and downed the rest of his drink.

Then, he poured himself another one.

However, this time he held the glass without immediately downing it.

His eyes, misty with alcohol, appeared clear and bright, deep yet as distant as the stars.

He gazed at Baili Xia, earnestly and intensely, as if she were a cherished treasure.
