This Martini Smells Blood

Chapter 15 • Alone

November 19, 2020, 9:45 AM

As if the whole nature joined Wuxie in mourning, everything around him was dull and cold. The sky was dark but it didn't rain. Just like Wuxie, it didn't cry. Or maybe the tears were all dried up.

With great difficulty Wuxie reached the funeral hall in shanghai by 9: 45. After the arrest of Kylin, Wuxie couldn't control his emotions. But as stubborn as he is, Wuxie didn't want to cry for a murderer. The murderer of his own uncle.

For the entire night Wuxie was drinking in a local bar. He wanted to forget all this pain, at least for this night. Xiao Hua and Pangzi didn't give any gap but was calling Wuxie all time. But by night he was totally wasted. Like, he doesn't even remember how ended up in a hotel.

The receptionist told him that he was drunk and some guys took him here. The hotel was right next to the bar. So Wuxie concluded it may be the bar guys. He didn't think much about it as the effect of alcohol was gone and all memories and pain were coming back to him. He couldn't keep his head straight. It was hurting like hell. But that pain was nothing compared to how shattered his heart was.

Wuxie stood in front of the main door for minutes thinking how to go inside. How can he see his uncle lying inside a coffin? Wuxie whimpered. As he was standing their all torn apart, he heard Xiao Hua calling him from behind.

"Wuxie were the hell you were? How many times I called you? Do you how scared we were? Pangzi, me, Panzi. Wang meng, everybody was calling you. Pangzi was about to go back to Beijing. You said you will be here? The were the hell you were? I shouldn't have left you alone. Its my fault. Look at yourself, Wuxie... Wuxie don't scare us like this. You-"

"I want some water," Wuxie said cutting the nonstop blabbering of Xiao Hua.

Wuxie knew, right now Xiao Hua will go on and on scolding him. So, he deliberately cut off Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua only sigh at his friend Wuxie who looks like a corpse or worst. He was cursing himself for not being good with words and consoling.

Xiao Hua dragged Wuxie inside and give him water to drink.

"You... don't you want to see him?" Xiao Hua asked in a low voice.

"I should, right? Soon he will be criminated, right? Xiao Hua ... I" Wuxie could only let go this time. He wept leaning onto Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua embraced him tight.

No. Xiao Hua. Don't cry. You have to be strong. Wuxie needs you.

Xiao Hua made his mind to be strong. For Wuxie.

Time passed in a flash. Wuxie was still crying in Xiao Hua's embrace.

"It's time." Wuxie turned to see his uncle's best friend Panzi, uncle's assistant Wang meng and Pangzi.

For Wuxie Panzi was just like an uncle. While his uncle was busy with many it was this man who accompanied him in his whole life. As Wuxie saw Panzi he ran to him. Panzi took him into his embrace.

"Be strong Xiao Sanye... I know you are strong. You are Sanye's strong boy. Do you think he will like it when he sees you in this state?" Panzi said in a soothing voice as he patted Wuxie's head.

"But he isn't here. He won't be here to see me anymore. He won't be here to scold me anymore. He is not gonna comeback."

"No... Wuxie, Sanye is here with you. He will live in you from now on. You know, always with you. Isn't that what he wanted. Not to leave you alone, day and night." Panzi said chuckling hoping to cheer up Wuxie.

Wuxie did chuckle hearing it. Yes. His uncle was very possessive of him. That's why he was so against the murder case this time. Wuxie had to go and live in another city.
