Chapter 11: Tipsy

Translator: Doris

After dinner, I stared at the houses and lights outside the window for a while. Then I returned back to my room.

At this moment, I was depressed and confused, I was even too listless to type.

My dad suddenly returned from a business trip, which made me puzzled. So I asked him why he came back suddenly when we had dinner. Well, he just said, “Nothing special. The schedule has been changed.” What? That made me more puzzled.

All right. Now that he didn’t want to talk to me about his work, I would not ask again.

Later on, after eating together for a while, I realized that he had drunk before he came back.

Then I asked him casually: “Did you just have a business dinner?”

He said “No”.

His answer surprised me. He had indeed drunk. Why did he deny it? It was not a big deal.

In view of our improved relations, I said: “So why are you tipsy?”

“Oh,” he said in absent-mindedness, “It’s for a date.”

Immediately, words failed me. At that time, I wanted to put down my bowl and throw a fit. But I had no guts to do that.

After a while, I just said “Oh” in case my sadness was exposed to him.

In my mind, I really wanted to know who he went on a date with, what that date was for and why he would date before a business trip.

However, I couldn’t ask. As you knew, I was such a man with high self-esteems. Although I was painful now, I didn’t want to disgrace myself due to asking those questions.

Then, we continued to have dinner in silence.

When both of us were almost full, there was a video call request from his wechat. I found the avatar of that person was a lovely girl cartoon image. So I was sure that this video call was from a girl.

I thought he would hang up. However, he turned it into a voice call and went to the balcony to answer it.

In my memory, this was the first time he answered a voice / video call from the wechat, for he had always been tired of receiving voice messages. If his subordinates dared to send him a long voice message, maybe this person’s job would be at risk.

But now, he actually answered a voice call from a girl, which lasted for eight minutes!

I didn’t know what they said, for the glass door on the balcony was soundproof. I just saw him smiling as he was talking.

His smile, in my eyes, was especially gentle. While, it made me uncomfortable at the same time.

Finishing the call, he came back with a smile on his face and asked me, “Have you finished?”

I didn’t want him to notice my unhappiness, so I didn’t look up. I just said: “I’ll wash the dishes later on. You must be tired. Rest well.”

He said “Ok”. Then he went into his room.
