Chapter 678: Chapter 678 Wake up a Little _1

Xia Qingtian made her way through the crowded room and arrived at the entrance of a private box.

"Is Huo Qilin really in this box?" she asked to confirm once more.

Bo Jingyan’s subordinate nodded, "Yes, once he went inside, he hasn’t left. He’s been in there for two full days and nights."

Once Xia Qingtian was certain that Huo Qilin was truly inside, she said, "Wait for me outside."

"But young master Bo told me to stay close to you!"

"He’s worried about my safety. It’s only Huo Qilin inside, he won’t harm me and wouldn’t dare to. Don’t worry." Xia Qingtian finished speaking and immediately pushed the door open to enter.

In order to avoid anyone coming in, she even locked the door from the inside.

Seeing this, the subordinate worried that something might happen to Xia Qingtian in there. Unable to bear such a responsibility, he immediately called Jiang Xuan and reported the situation.

Being related to Xia Qingtian, Jiang Xuan didn’t dare to make a decision by himself.

So he passed the phone to Bo Jingyan.

After learning the situation, Bo Jingyan pondered for a moment, "Just ensure her safety, prevent her from being harmed. As for the rest, just listen to whatever she says."

His original intention was to protect Xia Qingtian, not to spy or interfere with her affairs.

Since she didn’t want his men to follow, they simply wouldn’t. He would give her some space.

Hearing this, the subordinate felt reassured, "Yes, young master Bo."

...

Meanwhile, Xia Qingtian had already entered the private room.

Inside this highest-grade box at the bar, there was a mess, with empty bottles everywhere on the floor and the table. There was barely any space to place one’s foot.

Moreover, the light inside the box was dim. It took her a while to finally locate Huo Qilin sprawled on the sofa.

Except, at this moment, Huo Qilin was dead drunk.

Upon seeing him, Xia Qingtian almost didn’t recognize him.

His originally handsome and boyish face was now covered with stubble. Despite the charm of his disheveled and melancholic look, he appeared drastically different from his usual image.

"Huo Qilin, wake up!" Xia Qingtian reached out and tapped his face.

Huo Qilin let out a graceless burp, the thick smell of alcohol almost knocking Xia Qingtian over.

Immediately Xia Qingtian covered her nose, stepping back a few paces. Once she was a safe distance from him, she couldn’t help but express her disgust. "How much have you been drinking?"

However, Huo Qilin wasn’t in a state to answer her question.

Xia Qingtian pulled out a packet of tissues from her bag, stuffed her nostrils and approached Huo Qilin once again.

She knew Huo Qilin was heavily drunk and feared that she wouldn’t be able to wake him without using a bit of force.

So she raised her hand and slapped Huo Qilin’s face with a bit of force this time.

The man lying on the sofa finally opened his eyes in a daze.

Although he had awoken, he was still drunk. He wobbled up to a sitting position, grabbed hold of Xia Qingtian’s wrist and slurred, "Alcohol, let’s have a drink..." while reaching for something on the table with his other hand.

Very quickly, he found a bottle of alcohol, bit the cap off with his teeth, and took a huge gulp.

After a satisfying gulp he turned to Xia Qingtian, "You, you drink too."

Xia Qingtian frowned and responded in disgust, "I’m not drinking!"

Huo Qilin, disregarding her rejection, got up when she refused to accept the bottle from him, and aimed the bottle opening at her, intending to pour the alcohol into her mouth.

"I said, I’m not drinking!" Xia Qingtian reiterated, slapping his hand away.

However, Huo Qilin acted as if he hadn’t heard and still insisted on forcing her to drink.

As a result, the alcohol spilled, drenching Xia Qingtian.

Even then, Huo Qilin was still insistent on making her drink.

Xia Qingtian held back for a long time, seeing his drunken state, she couldn’t take it anymore. "I said I’m not drinking! Can’t you understand what people say? Get your act together!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gave Huo Qilin a hard slap.

She put all her strength into this slap to wake Huo Qilin, there was no holding back.

This hard slap left Huo Qilin completely dumbfounded. It took him a while to figure out what just happened.

Once Xia Qingtian saw him settle down, she grabbed the collar of his shirt, drag him into the restroom attached to the private room and kicked him under the showerhead to thoroughly wake him up. She then turned on the shower.

Instantly, the cold water poured down from above and drenched Huo Qilin.

"Ah..." Sitting on the ground, Huo Qilin let out a shocked cry as the chilly water rained down on him. He struggled to get up and move away from the water.

Xia Qingtian was doing this to sober him up, there was no way she would let him escape.

Once she saw him scrambling to break free, she ruthlessly raised her foot and kicked him back under the shower, "Have you sobered up yet?"

She glared at Huo Qilin with an icy look on her face. Seeing his pained expression, she didn’t soften at all and said coldly, "If you aren’t sober, continue sitting there. I’ll leave the shower on until you’re wide awake."

Huo Qilin wiped his face with his hand and said, "I, I’m sober!"

Xia Qingtian was satisfied with his response and then turned off the shower. She looked at him with a cold and elegant expression, "Now that you’re sober, clean yourself up properly. I’ll wait for you outside. I’m giving you five minutes."

Once she finished speaking, without waiting for Huo Qilin to say anything, she walked out of the restroom.

Huo Qilin watched her leave with a gloomy expression. Then he landed a punch on the wall, a trace of self-loathing flashing in his eyes.

Xia Qingtian started to time him outside. Seeing that he wasn’t making any sound inside, she loudly reminded him, "Two minutes have already passed. You’re left with three minutes. Hurry up!"

Right after her words fell, the sound of running water could be heard from inside the restroom.

Only then did she sit down with satisfaction in a relatively clean spot.

Huo Qilin was quite punctual. As soon as the five minutes were up, he walked out of the restroom looking refreshed.

Walking slowly towards Xia Qingtian, he didn’t dare to sit, neither did he dare to look up at her.

Seeing him like this, Xia Qingtian was both upset and amused.

"Who are you trying to gain sympathy from with this pathetic look?" Xia Qingtian sat with her arms crossed, glaring at Huo Qilin unhappily, "Who is it that rushed to someone’s set looking for them and then hid away and got dead drunk? Just now, who tried to force me to drink alcohol?"

Faced with her accusation, Huo Qilin was like a mute, silent for a long time before he managed to utter three words, "I’m sorry!"

After all, Huo Qilin was an artist that she had managed herself. Seeing him in such a pitiful state, no matter how irritated she had been, Xia Qingtian softened again at this moment.
