Aurora nodded fast in excitement, "Yeah..."
Sion stared at her for a moment without speaking, then turned and went back to his room without a word.
Aurora looked in the direction of his leaving, and her chaotic mind began to work. Then she sat down tamely on the sofa and waited for him to come out of the room, keeping her body unmoved.
Not long after, the door of the guest room opened.
Aurora staggered to her feet, eager to look at Sion.
Sion was wearing his doctor's overall, and his tall, slender figure stood in the doorway. In the lamplight, his face was angular, and his dark eyes glinted with a psychedelic glow.
And his thin lips bent ambiguously.
"Look good?"
Aurora ran toward him with two steps at a time, the light in her eyes almost overflowing, "Yes! So handsome!"
She rubbed against the doctor's overall on his chest and said, "I like Doctor Carroll the most!"
At that moment he felt his heart startled.
With another strange emotion in his eyes, Sion asked in a low voice, "You just said, who do you like?"
"Doctor Carroll in uniform..."
Cutting her short, Sion tightened his grip on her arm involuntarily and asked, "Will you still like me if I don't wear my uniform?"
Aurora was so drunk that she had to mentally read over his question.
If he didn't wear his uniform...
How could she not like him?
At the time she fell in love with him, Sion wasn't wearing a uniform.
But then he wore this doctor's overall for most of the day so that his uniform became more and more attractive in her eyes. Or more accurately, she would like him no matter what appearance he had.
"..."
Aurora's lips moved silently, but finally, the words didn't come out. It was been a long night, and she was so dizzy that she fell asleep the next second.
After waiting for her answer for a long while, Sion looked down and saw she fall asleep leaning against him.
"You bad girl..."
He gave himself a self-deprecating chuckle, wondering why he should have listened to the ravings of a drunk person.
Then he carried Aurora into her room.
Her sleep was restless, and her face still flushed.
Seeing she frowning lightly as if in discomfort, Sion used a drenched towel to wipe her face.
Aurora fitfully grunted uncomfortably.
"So restless."
He stared at Aurora's sleeping face, almost believing what she just said for a moment.
She said she liked him in uniform, but he knew that she didn't like him at all.
Sion knew that there was someone else in her heart, whom he had never met but also couldn't replace.
The next morning, Aurora was woken by an alarm clock with a splitting headache.
Grimacing, she fumbled for her phone to turn off the alarm and, after a long rest, sat up in a daze.
She thought she had to get up for work even if she was hungover.
Wait?
All she remembered now was only going to the bar with her colleagues last night.
How did she get home after that?
She had no memory of it.
Aurora rubbed her eyes and realized that she had changed her nightgown.
Something was wrong because she was never rational when she was drunk.
She suddenly froze up, doubting that Sion helped her change her nightgown.
