It was clear that Xiao Yebai had come home last night and drowned his sorrows in alcohol, smoked to relieve boredom...and then fell asleep on the sofa like that.
Zhong Kai was speculating to himself when Xiao Yebai got up.
"What time is it?" he asked, his voice low and hoarse from just waking up.
Zhong Kai hurriedly said, "It's not yet nine, Director Xiao, no rush."
"Wait for me downstairs," Xiao Yebai ordered.
"Okay," Zhong Kai quickly turned around.
The servant glanced over and hurriedly turned to follow him out.
...
The door was closed.
Xiao Yebai stepped up to the wardrobe, opened it, and took out a new set of clothes.
Then he suddenly stopped his motions and looked around.
In the vast bedroom, apart from him, there was no other living thing.
But he distinctly remembered that he had fallen asleep holding the Labrador last night.
Especially after seeing the empty wine bottles on the coffee table, and the ashtray full of cigarette butts...
