My Future Wife Is Androphobic

Chapter 49 - Drunk?



Chapter 49 - Drunk?



Zeri blinked at him. She tilted her head slightly as she tried to decipher what he just said.


"B-because of me?" she echoed, and Kira nonchalantly nodded.


"Yes, because of you."


"How could that be?" she tilted her head again, looking at him with both confusion and curiosity. "Whenever my brother plays with me for a day, his energy remains the same. I think, maybe, your body is just a little weak –"


Not letting her continue talking, Kira picked up a bite of steak. "Say ahh," he said, and the squirrel was quick to open her mouth and devour it.


Her immediate reaction made Kira chuckle. Somehow, this squirrel was ten times cuter when she was eating…


"Here, try this too, say ahh… this too, say ahh…"


And thus, Kira seemed to have discovered a new, interesting hobby – feeding his cute little squirrel. Damn, this is fun…


However, when the girl still wasn't stopping and kept on eating whatever he put in her mouth, Kira started to feel worried.


"Hey, why are you not stopping?" Kira asked.


"Because you keep giving me…"


". . ." Kira shook his head and looked down. And what he saw made his jaw drop. The food on their table was nearly devoured to its last bits. He was speechless. How could a girl her size eat that much?! Kira pinched the skin between his brows and he finally put down his cutlery. "That's enough, damn, have you no limit at all? What are you gonna do if… if… ugh!"


Kira was suddenly panicking. He even stood up and hastily took her plate away from her.


"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked, worriedly. Zeri was just casually munching the remaining food in her mouth. Once she'd swallowed everything, she leaned back in her chair and smiled at him in satisfaction.


"The food is soooo great. I'm stuffed." She was happy, so happy that her face was almost shining.


/br/Damn… this glutton… so some adventure in the forest and a mountain of food are all you need to be this happy huh… I should've known, damn it! Shaking his head, Kira was about to go back to his seat when Zeri suddenly grabbed the bottle of red wine on the table.


But Kira, quick as lightning, retrieved the bottle from her.


"No, this is not for you." he firmly said, taking the bottle away from her. Zeri blinked at him, surprised.


"Huh? But, didn't you order it for us to drink?" she asked innocently, and Kira sighed.


"So you drink wine?"


"No, I've never tasted it. But they say wine is good for the heart."


". . ." Kira could only sigh again. He narrowed his eyes, looking as though he was deciding. After a moment, he gave in and opened the bottle. "Fine, just a sip, okay?" He poured a small amount into her glass.


He watched her intently as she slowly sipped on her glass. Her expression was strange. She didn't seem to like it, but she also didn't seem to dislike it. What kind of expression is that? Huh, Squirrel?


"How is it?" Kira asked, and Zeri took another sip.


"It tastes… great?" She replied, seemingly unsure of herself, and Kira chuckled.


"Anything edible seems to taste great to you huh," he mused when the phone inside his pocket vibrated.


Kira put down the bottle and brought out his phone. It was a message from Rei. Kira had texted him a while ago that the plan had changed and that they were going home early, so Rei was asking what time they would leave the hotel.


After sending his reply, Kira slipped his phone back into his pocket. However, the moment he looked at Zeri, his eyes widened again. It was because the girl was gulping the wine like it was water.


His eyes flew on the bottle, and when he saw that she'd already drunk almost one-fourth of it, he quickly grabbed the glass in her hand.


"You… what are you doing?" his voice was a little loud and exasperated, but the girl just blinked at him innocently, as if she'd done nothing wrong.


"It tastes good," was all she said, and Kira bit his lips. This girl…


Kira let out another sigh. He saw that her eyes were still on the bottle of wine, so he grabbed her hand. He had to drag her out of this place. "Are you ready? We're leaving," he said, and thankfully, the girl nodded, even though her eyes were still glued on the wine.


Zeri then hesitantly stood up, then she suddenly wobbled.


Luckily, Kira caught her quickly.


"Sigh… this is why I told you that that wine is not for you," he scolded her, frustrated. "Are you drunk now?" he pushed her away at arm's length to look at her face. Her cheeks were a little red.


"Drunk?" she shook her head.


"You are drunk…" he decided as he sighed. "Damn, what should I do with you? Can you still walk?"


She nodded, and she pulled away from him. She tried to walk, and she was right, she could still walk in a straight line. Kira sighed in relief, glad that this squirrel could at least hold her liquor.


But then the drunk squirrel did another unexpected thing. She suddenly dashed towards the closed door. Kira's eyes almost jumped out of their sockets, because the girl seemed to be planning on crashing herself into the closed double door.


Fortunately, he was able to outrun her this time, but obviously, only because of the wine, she drank. He caught her and pulled her towards him just before she crashed against the door.


"What the hell, Zeri Kim!!" he thundered as he tightened his grip on her waist. "Stop struggling, damn it!"


Kira made sure to not let her escape from his grip. He couldn't believe this. So this was why he suddenly felt chills that moment he saw her gulping the wine. This girl was troublesome enough when she was sober, what would he expect from her now that she was drunk? Damn! Why did he decide to let her taste it?! He should've listened to the warnings in his head a while ago!
