Chapter 1111 Calculative Friendship
Shui Xian's heart actually swelled with happiness when he heard that coming from his sister. It had been way too long since his sister had leaned on him like this and told him how much he meant to her. It actually felt good to hear it even now.
He tapped her nose lovingly, "Ge loves you very much too."
"I know," responded Amiah. She might not know anything else but this she definitely knew. How could she not know? Between the two of them, it was actually her who wasn't vocal about her feelings. Her brother had always felt no shame in voicing out what he felt. She rubbed her head against his arm saying, "Ge, you keep loving me. I promise I'll do better in the future."
"Silly," commented Shui Xian. "I think the alcohol has gotten to your head."
Amiah didn't argue about that since she also vaguely felt that alcohol was truly getting to her head now. She could walk straight when she came to see her brother but now, her head was slightly spinning.
Raelle took out a room card from her purse and offered it to Amiah, "Take it. Go and rest for a while. After you feel better, come home. I'll ask someone to bring you a sobering soup."
Amiah looked at the room card strangely for a while and then looked at Raelle. No one could tell what was on her mind but she told Raelle, "There is no need for so much trouble. I'll be fine after lying down for a while."
"Should I help you?" asked Shui Xian.
"And leave your own engagement party?" asked Amiah in return. "Don't be so thoughtless, Ge. What would it look like if you left your wife and walked out with your sister? Won't people say I'm the evil sister-in-law who is trying to drag you away from your wife? And although I love the role of the evil sister-in-law, I still won't like it if people said anything about you."
Shui Xian shook his head at her, "Does that even matter? You can't even stand now. How are you gonna walk?"
Amiah held up her hand to stop him as she looked around and finally raised her hand to catch someone's attention. Seeing the figure of her best friend walking over she smiled in satisfaction, "See? I'm not a loner. I also have a best friend. Isn't she here to support me? Don't worry about me at all."
Sora heard this sentence when she came over and her lips twitched.
She smiled at Shui Xian and Raelle as she greeted them first and even congratulated them while holding Amiah's arm to support her. In the end, she reassured Shui Xian, "Have faith in me. I am very good at taking care of her."
"Sorry for the trouble," said Shui Xian.
"It's no trouble at all," replied Sora. "Let's go, Mia."
"Oh," responded Amiah. "Bye-bye, Ge! I'll see you later."
"A woman is always sober enough for this discussion," replied Amiah.
Sora didn't argue about that but said, "On a serious note, you're really heavy. The other day you Sora shook her head at Amiah as she took her out of the banquet hall. By now, all of Amiah's weight was on her poor shoulders and it was very difficult to support her with her weak body. She groaned and said, "Have you gotten fat?"
Amiah slapped her hand when she heard that.
"Oh, so you're sober enough to care about your weight?"
"A woman is always sober enough for this discussion," replied Amiah.
Sora didn't argue about that but said, "On a serious note, you're really heavy. The other day you weren't this heavy."
"We were drinking together back then," reminded Amiah. "So, how would you know how heavy was I? Besides, when a person is drunk, he seems heavier than his original weight."
"Where did this theory come from?" questioned Sora.
"Who cares?" retorted Amiah. "You just have to know there is this theory."
"Yes, yes. I'll listen to our esteemed professor of claptrap, Ms. Amiah Jade!"
"Don't think I'm so drunk that I can't even understand that you're insulting me."
"Oh, is that so?" Sora laughed to herself. "But how did you get so drunk? I left you for just thirty minutes. What did you even do at that time? Do you have to be so tiresome? I am turning into your full-time nanny since you came back to the country."
"Are you saying I shouldn't have come back?" asked Amiah.
"No, I'm saying to stop using free labor. At least pay me."
"Money hurts friendship. How can you not know, my dear Sora?"
"You're hurting my whole body right now with your weight." She helped Amiah sit on the chair in the hallway as she stopped to rest for a while and said, "Let's rest here for a while. I'm really not able to bear it."
Amiah rubbed her forehead as she said, "I have a headache."
"Serves you right. Who asked you to drink so much?" Sora panted as she looked around looking for water. She was very thirsty after pulling Amiah for such a long distance. In truth, they hadn't even reached the elevator yet but Sora really felt like they walked for too long.
"Go and bring me some water," said Amiah. "I'll try to reach the room myself."
"What? Are you sure? I assured your brother and sister-in-law that I'd safely deliver you to the room. How can I be so careless about this job?"
"Stop talking. I just told you I have a headache. Just go and get me something to drink. I can still walk." As if to prove that she could, she actually stood up and didn't even sway.
Sora gave her a dubious look, "Were you putting all your weight on me on purpose?"
"Yeah. I was trying to see how good of a friend you are."
"Good! Very good! You wait for me, Amiah! I'll get back at you for this."
"Who told you to puke at me the other night? I can't even do this much!"
"I didn't think we had this kind of a calculative friendship. You are indeed a good one!" After stomping her foot, she turned around to leave but stopped and said, "I'm gonna bring you something to eat. You only filled your stomach with alcohol. Are you trying to kill yourself? So, go and wait for me. I'll find you in a while."
