Staying true to her words, Xiang Wai did come to the Zhai Family House with her drinks. However, she didn't enter. Instead, she chose to pick up her brother and took him to her own apartment.

"What is this place?" Xian Weimin asked as he entered through the door.

"It's my apartment," replied Xiang Wai.

Xiang Weimin vaguely recalled it and asked, "The one dad gifted you on your eighteenth birthday?"

"Yup."

"How many days have you even lived here?" he asked. "This apartment must be cursing you for being its owner."

"It's okay. I am used to curses. It doesn't even affect me anymore," replied Xiang Wai as she took out the drinks and placed them on the table in the living room. "In fact, I've managed to place a filter in my ears. I only hear things that I want to hear. The rest goes to the trash folder."

Xiang Weimin chuckled at her response and came to sit down. Placing his crutches aside, he leaned back on the sofa comfortably.

"We could have just done it at Uncle Kuijun's place," commented Xiang Weimin.

Xiang Wai looked up at her brother, "Ge, just because I don't care doesn't mean I am a masochist. I very well know that Uncle Kuijun's parents don't like me. I have no reason to go there and be an eyesore to them. Why bother? Why should I put myself through that?"

"It's not that Grandpa Zhai nad Grandma Zhai doesn't like you," said Xiang Weimin. "They just haven't noticed your good points."

"I don't see why they have to see my good points," replied Xiang Wai. "It doesn't matter to me whether they like me or not. It's my life and I have lived it to please others."

She opened the box of fried wings she brought and placed it before Xiang Weimin, "Ge, don't eat this too much. It's fried food and it isn't too good for you. I have brought rice congee for you as well. So, you can eat that later." She poured him a drink saying, "And enjoy it with sour plum juice. It'll be refreshing."

As she instructed him, she opened the can of beer for herself and guzzled it down in one go as she threw her head back. "Ah~ This was good!"

"What's on your mind?" asked Xiang Weimin.

Xiang Wai was holding the chicken wing in her hand as she furrowed her brows and took a bite before asking in return, "What do you mean? My mind is completely empty."

"So this drinking party was organized without a reason?"

Xiang Wai nodded her head, "Don't you know I love doing things on a whim?"

"The rims of your eyes are still red," Xiang Weimin pointed it out. "Do you still want to say it's all on a whim?"

Xiang Wai's expressions didn't even change as she replied, "Why can't it be on a whim? Let me tell you a funny story. I ordered a bowl of spicy beef noodles and somehow it got extra spicy so I ended up crying for a while. You know I don't like putting down my chopsticks until and unless I have eaten all the food. So, in the process of finishing the noodles, I shed some precious tears. It was really a funny sight." She even laughed at herself as she continued, "And it was because of all that spiciness that I suddenly thought of having some refreshing beer."

Xiang Weimin hardly believed in anything she just said. This sister of his was never straightforward in her words or feelings. But since she didn't want to share, he couldn't force her either. That won't work on her anyway.

"Oh, I met one of your comrades," told Xiang Wai changing the topic instantly. "He looked worried about you. I think you should contact your Combat Wing. It'll give your comrades some reassurance that you're recovering well."

Xiang Weimin nodded, "I'll do that."

"Also, what have you thought about the offer?" inquired Xiang Wai curiously.

"What offer?"

"Didn't the commander of Kia Military Base ask you to supervise the new research? Isn't this a good chance for you to get rid of your boring state? After all, you love work. I believe you'd love to go back to what you love."

Xiang Weimin hummed, "I have been discussing it lately. I received the project details but I'm still thinking about it. Nothing confirmed for now."

"When did you become so lazy?" asked Xiang Wai. "Just get to it already. Don't just waste time thinking about it."

Xiang Weimin chuckled, "Fine. I'll just do it then since you're so eager to have me back at work."

"I'm not eager," replied Xiang Wai. "I'd love to see you rest for months but I know you. That restless bug within you won't let you be at ease. So, it's good for you to have something keeping you occupied. Although you won't be leading the research. Being the supervisor is good enough."

"You're talking quite sensibly today," commented Xiang Weimin.

"I have always been sensible," retorted Xiang Wai.

"Only you think so," said Xiang Weimin.

Xiang Wai's face fell a little when she heard that. Indeed, people around her loved to describe her as someone insensible. It's weird how her own brother even thought that she was the reason why she and Zhai Yanjun didn't work out. She really couldn't figure out the reason why.

But it didn't matter really. She had been carrying way too many black pots on her head since she was young. It won't hurt to carry another one. Whether anyone knew or not, she knew exactly why she and Zhai Yanjun were no good.

"Drink a bit slowly," said Xiang Weimin when he noticed how she had already emptied 5 cans of beer in no time. "At least, give yourself some break to eat as well. Just drinking won't help. And if you drink this much, how are you gonna drive me back?"

"Then don't go tonight," suggested Xiang Wai. "You can sleep over here. It's not like there is no extra bedroom. And even if there isn't. I don't mind sleeping on the floor.. It won't be the first time and I ain't that delicate either."
