Sydney Raines couldn’t help raising her red lips when she saw that he was so happy to see her back. "Well, I'm back. I didn't break my promise, didn't leave, and came back on time. How's that?"
Julien Flint hummed.
Sydney pulled a chair and put it on the edge of the sofa to sit down. "Can you get up?"
"No." Julien shook his head and looked at her pitifully.
Sydney sighed, then reached out. "I'll pull you."
Julien put his hand on hers.
After Sydney held his hand, she pulled him up from the sofa with force. "Sit down. Be careful not to fall back."
"Okay." Julien nodded obediently.
Seeing him being so well-behaved, Sydney couldn't help but touch his head, which she rarely did. "Tween Flint, I didn't expect you to be so fun when you're drunk."
"Tween Flint?" Julien looked at her dubiously.
He grimaced in the next second. "Who is Tween Flint? Do you have a crush on another man?"
He questioned loudly, as if Sydney was a heartbreaker.
Sydney didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What are you talking about? Who has a crush on another man?"
"You!" Julien glared at her.
Sydney blinked, "Who am I seeing?"
She pointed to herself.
Julien pursed his thin lips. His eyes were all red. "Tween Flint!"
"Uh..." Sydney's mouth twitched violently.
She had a crush on Tween Flint?
Well, he was not wrong when he said that.
Sydney rubbed her forehead. "Julien, you're so stupid. The Tween Flint I'm talking about is you."
Julien froze. "I'm Tween Flint?"
"Mhmm." Sydney nodded.
Julien's face turned dark again. "You are talking nonsense. My name is Julien Flint, not Tween Flint." "Tween Flint is a nickname I got for you." Sydney rolled her eyes at him.
Julien finally understood.
It turned out that Tween Flint was really himself.
He finally calmed down, looked at Sydney and asked, "Why do you call me Tween Flint? I'm over ten years old."
Sydney said with a half-smile, "Why? Of course, it's the way you are now, just like a ten-year-old child. Julien, I'm really looking forward to your expression when you're completely sober. I think you'll have to find a hole in the ground to get into after recalling your childish behaviors today?”
"Huh?" Julien obviously didn't get it, and his face showed some confusion.
Sydney waved her hand, "Forget it. Why do I tell you this when you can't understand it now? Let's eat first."
After that, she picked up a bowl of millet porridge from the tray and handed it to the man. "Hold it well. Don't knock it over."
Well, she felt like she was really taking care of a child now, and she had to worry about whether he could hold the bowl.
Julien held the bowl nicely.
Sydney saw that he was holding it firmly, and the bowl didn't look like it was falling on one side. She then was relieved to take her bowl of millet porridge.
She was also hungry now. In the morning, she didn't have breakfast because she was worried about him.
Until now, she was already starving.
Sydney stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon and started eating in small bites.
After taking a few bites, she felt that the man kept staring at her and didn't take the porridge in his bowl.
Sydney stopped the spoon in her hand and looked at the man. "Why are you looking at me? Are you not eating?"
Julien's thin lips moved, but he didn't speak.
Sydney sighed, "What's wrong? Can't eat it by yourself?"
Julien looked at her, still not speaking.
His appearance was giving Sydney's a headache.
Yes, a child is cute, but sometimes you don't know what he is thinking.
Therefore, sometimes you feel powerless when facing children.
Just like now.
Sydney put down the porridge in her hand, then brought over the porridge in Julien's hand, scooping up a spoon and passing it to his mouth. "Open your mouth."
Julien did as he was told, opening his mouth.
Sydney fed him the porridge from the spoon.
He chewed and swallowed the porridge.
Only then did Sydney have time to pick up her porridge and continue to eat.
Julien just kept looking at her with his eyes open.
Sydney asked while eating, "You had enough food and drink. Sleep for some time. After that, the effects of the hangover will wear off, and you won't have to suffer anymore."
But Julien shook his head, indicating that he would not sleep.
He was obviously sleepy, but he was very stubborn and unwilling to close his eyes.
Sydney didn't force him. She just let him be.
Anyway, it would be alright as long as he kept his emotions like this, didn't get furious as his grandma had said, or even did self-harm.
Besides, if he didn't sleep right now, he would fall asleep when he couldn’t hold it any longer.
Thinking about it, Sydney ignored Julien and ate the porridge in her bowl quietly.
After eating, as she had just put down the bowl and was about to take it out for cleaning, the man who had been quiet on the sofa suddenly said, "Stinky."
"What?" Sydney suddenly turned to look at him.
Was he saying that she stank?
Julien’s thin lips parted lightly, "I stink and want to take a shower."
Sydney rolled her eyes.
Well, it turned out he was talking about himself.
Then it was fine.
Sydney folded her arms, looked at the man jokingly and replied, "You also know that you stink?"
After drinking so much wine, his whole body smelled of wine. It would be strange if he did not stink after several hours of air fermentation.
She thought that she would let him take a shower when he was fully sober.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't stand it now and shouted to take a shower.
Anyway, let him take a shower and he would sleep better later.
Sydney reached out and pulled him up. " Come on, I'll help you to your room."
Julien hummed and stood up from the sofa. But he really had no strength, and his feet were not stable at all.
So his body fell forward as soon as his feet landed. Sydney also fell down with him.
Finally, Julien fell face down on the ground. Sydney screamed in horror and fell on his back.
