Zheng Xu reached out to help Akka up, "Are you okay?"
"Want me to try dropping you instead?" Akka rubbed her knee, which hurt from the fall.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
With his apology, Akka was a bit taken aback. She was used to bickering with him, and with this sudden change, she felt a bit lost on how to communicate.
"Did you come here for something?" Akka's nose twitched as she caught a strong whiff of alcohol.
"Have you been drinking?"
"Yeah, had a bottle of Erguotou."
Back at the hospital, Zheng Xu originally planned to take Akka back with him. He waited and waited, but she never came down. When he went up to check, he was fuming to find out she had sneaked out through the back door.
