Alexander lifted his hand and gently stroked Lily's back while comforting her, "If you can't handle your alcohol, you shouldn't have drunk so much. It's dangerous if you get drunk out there!”
He was grateful that Lily could get home safely and relieved he came back at the right time to let her in. Otherwise, Lily would have gotten left outside.
Lily looked at Alexander and smiled sillily, "I didn't drink much! J-Just..." She brought her hand to his face and waved in front of him.
She tried to count her fingers using her other hand, "0-One, two, three. Only five glasses! It wasn't that much! Let me tell you; Jenny was the one who had too much! After the first five minutes, she was already d-drunk! Hehehe...”
Alexander was speechless. Lily was such a horrible drinker. She was already in this state, yet she still had the strength to make fun of others.
"You're not allowed to drink without my presence," Alexander instructed, deciding he needed to set some rules or Lily would take it too far.
Lily smiled at him, "Does that mean I can drink as much as I want whenever you're around? Let's have a drink now! Married couples usually toast, but we haven't done that yet."
She raised her head and looked at him. Her cheeks were flushed red, and her eyes curved into crescent moon shapes as she smiled at him. Even though she smelled of alcohol, Alexander still found her especially attractive in this state. Her smile made his heart flutter.
"Okay, let’s do it, but not now!" He said.
"Why?" Lily asked as she pushed his hand unhappily.
"I'm not going to drink with someone so wasted. We'll do it when you’re sober,” Alexander added.
