This Martini Smells Blood

Chapter 18 • The vow

November 26, 2020, 11 AM

Wuxie woke up with a jerk. His eyes went over the wall clock in his room and he was surprised.

"I overslept!?"

These days were sleepless nights for Wuxie. But never in his life, he has slept past 10 o'clock. Because;

"If uncle was here I would've long drenched water." Wuxie chuckled. Uncle's memories didn't hurt him. Last night he was thinking about it.

Wuxie had to accept the fact that, unlike Kylin, his uncle isn't gonna come back. The sweet memories are what his uncle left for him. And like Panzi said, he wont cry anymore to make his uncle worry.

"I'll not forget you uncle. I'll be a good officer and make you proud. And I promise the start is from whoever killed you."

Wuxie was determined. He got down from the bed and stretched his body well. His whole body was sore.

"Should I ask Xiao ge for a massage?" Wuxie said but the next second he cursed himself mentally when the picture of him lying down and Xiao ge massaging him started flashing before him.

"Wuxie you per- No no no... Wait! Where is he? He owes me a lot of explanation."

Wuxie walked out of the room as he the way he got up. He was still yawning and eyes half-closed. Hairs disheveled and shirt messy, and still sleepy... That was his usual self. Wuxie had to walk around in this sleepy state and back in the days he only got into the bathroom after he got smacked on his head by Sanxing.

He walked to the kitchen without thinking anything and he actually found Kylin there.

"You are really here," Wuxie said grinning. Kylin only looked him over his shoulders. He was boiling water.

"Xiao ge..."

Ignored.

"Xiao ge..."

Silence.

"You, poker face. You aren't the one heating the water, are you? It will boil its own. Now, look at me." Wuxie yelled as he had enough of the cold treatment.

Kylin did get surprised by the sudden outburst. Thanks to his passive face, it showed nothing. Kylin tuned to look at Wuxie. He looked at Wuxie and the other was like the red in the Angry Birds movie. Angry but not scary. For Kylin, not even a bit.

How dare you ignore me. Now, I don't care. "You. You should give me a message." Wuxie declared. Yes, it was not a question, not a request, but an order. Kylin raised an eyebrow at it.

"You can't deny. I won't take any denial." Wuxie said crossing his hands and averting his eyes.

Now Kylin was a bit confused too. Wuxie was behaving like a brat and it wasn't his area to handle.

"Xiao Hua will." Said Kylin making Wuxie more agitated.

"It's because of you I'm like this. How can you put it on someone else shoulders? Do you know how much hurts? It's hurting like hell and you can't even do this much for me? I didn't know you were this selfish. I hate you, you... Aahh."

Wuxie was yelling on top of his lungs. All the frustration he held in him was now bursting out. But still... Wuxie couldn't say any bad words... His uncle always reprimanded him for using foul language and Wuxie don't know how to use such words. Now even if he wanted to say some, he couldn't.
