Xie Xiao and Lin Yu took a taxi back together, and the drop-off point was near Lin Yu's home.
Xie Xiao got out with him—home wasn't many steps away anyway—and he planned to walk back to get rid of the smell of alcohol.
He had indeed drunk a few glasses tonight while Lin Yu really hadn't. He had proudly claimed, "I'm going to be a doctor soon, so I'm giving up drinking."
It was just an excuse not to drink.
But everyone teased him a bit and didn't really make it difficult for him.
General Manager Xie wasn't so lucky.
At that moment, Lin Yu looked at him with some concern, "Shall I walk you home?"
Xie Xiao, a mix of resignation and amusement, replied, "No, really, I'm fine. Although I'm not great with alcohol, I'm not that drunk. I just want to air out a bit. I'm off now. You go back."
After making sure three times that he wasn't drunk, Lin Yu didn't follow him.
Watching his straight-walking silhouette for a while before he turned to head home.
Xie Xiao indeed wasn't drunk.
