Chapter 178 Although you lost Taoyao, you still have me!
Violet and Jasmine looked at each other, both with deep worry in their eyes.
Violet covered her nose slightly and pushed the door open first before walking in.
She bent down and picked up an empty can. There was still some wine left on the tin, and it looked like it had just been drunk.
The room was a mess, with beer cans scattered all over the floor.
Some were already empty and scattered all over the carpet.
Some were still half full, with the wine even spilling onto the ground.
The curtains were drawn tightly, making the whole room look dark and depressing.
The smell of alcohol became stronger in the enclosed space, making people feel breathless.
Violet walked quickly to the window and pulled aside the heavy curtains.
The bright sunshine poured in instantly, illuminating the messy room.
Next to the sofa, they finally saw the drunk Feiying.
The girl who used to be fresh, capable and full of energy was now lying there in a mess, with her long hair scattered on her face.
The beautiful school uniform was wrinkled, the bow tie was askew, and there were even some wine stains on the sleeves.
One of her hands was still tightly grasping the half-empty beer can, as if it were some precious treasure.
Her cheeks were abnormally flushed and she looked completely out of shape.
"Ugh......"
Jasmine frowned slightly, with a helpless smile in her tone, "I'm not surprised at all by this situation..."
Violet rolled her eyes at her, without bothering to say anything, and hurried to Feiying.
Seeing her friend in such a state of disgrace, she was filled with worry:
"Feiying? Feiying! Can you hear me?"
She tried to call out a few times, but all she got in return was Feiying's vague murmurs.
The strong smell of alcohol hit her face, and Violet couldn't help but take a step back:
"How much did you drink?"
She looked around and counted the wine cans on the floor.
At this moment, even Violet couldn't help but feel a little headache.
"This can't go on like this."
Violet shook her head and said firmly:
"Jasmine, let's help her get to the bed first. She'll catch a cold if she lies down like this."
Jasmine was about to step forward to help, but Feiying suddenly opened her hazy eyes.
She tilted her head and looked at Violet, her face flushed with the unique flush of drunkenness, and a silly smile on the corner of her mouth:
"Violet? Is that you? Come on, let's have a drink together!"
She staggered to her feet and nearly fell. Fortunately, Violet was quick to catch her.
The empty wine can slipped from her hands and rolled several times on the carpet.
"Come on, come on..."
Feiying spoke incoherently, trying to grab the wine can on the ground, and then she slid down:
"Have a drink with me, just one... I promise, just one drink..."
As she spoke, tears began to flow for some reason.
But there was still a smile on his face, which looked both funny and pitiful.
"No! You can't drink anymore!"
Violet snatched the wine jar from Feiying's hand with a firm tone.
She felt so distressed when she saw her friend like this, but she had to be tough.
"Give it back to me..."
Feiying tried to grab it like a spoiled child, throwing herself on Ziluo Lan, "Just one sip, let me drink one sip... I promise just one sip..."
There was a gleam of desire in her eyes, as if being able to drink the wine would be the happiest thing in the world.
But on that pretty face, there were traces of tears that made people feel distressed.
Although her movements still had a bit of girlish naivety, her eyes were frighteningly empty.
"No! Absolutely not!"
Violet shook her head helplessly, "Jasmine, come and help me, I can't handle her like this by myself."
The two of them worked together to lift Feiying onto the bed, and it took a lot of effort to get her to settle down.
The girl continued to mumble about wanting to drink, but her voice became quieter and quieter until she finally fell into a deep sleep.
There were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes, and she was still sobbing slightly even in her sleep, like a wounded little animal.
"Violet..."
Jasmine spoke worriedly as she picked up the scattered wine cans.
"Feiying's condition is getting weirder and weirder. What should I do? She has never been like this before."
"Take all the wine out of the house first."
Violet said decisively, her eyes firm: "No matter what, we must not let her continue drinking! Her body won't be able to bear it if she continues like this."
The two began to clean the room and collected all the bottles and cans they could find.
The empty cans alone filled several garbage bags, which was shocking to see.
Feiying slept very soundly, as if she wanted to make up for all the fatigue she had accumulated during this period of time at once.
"How about this, we take turns looking after her."
Violet suggested, "You stay here and I'll deal with the wine. In case she wakes up and wants to drink again."
Jasmine nodded and sat down on the bed.
She looked at the sleeping Feiying helplessly, her heart full of worry.
The girl, who is usually lively and cheerful, looks so haggard at this moment that it makes people feel distressed.
As time passed, I gradually felt sleepy.
Even Jasmine, who is usually full of energy, couldn't resist this tiredness.
Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she closed her eyes without realizing it.
When she opened her eyes again, Violet was standing in front of her, staring at her with a hint of reproach in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Jasmine rubbed her eyes, still a little confused.
"Where are the people?" Violet's voice was unusually serious.
Jasmine was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the bed beside her.
It was empty. The Feiying that was supposed to be lying there had disappeared at some point.
The messy bedding was still warm, obviously the person had been gone for not long.
"Lost...lost?" Jasmine panicked.
Violet covered her face helplessly: "Go find it..."
After some searching, they found Feiying in the storage room.
The girl was sitting in the corner, with the wine she had turned out scattered around her.
It seems that the ones that Violet hid were found.
She poured it into her mouth one mouthful after another, as if she wanted to get drunk with all the pain, or as if she wanted to get drunk herself as well.
"Feiying! You can't drink anymore!"
Violet rushed forward to stop him, "You've drunk too much!"
Feiying raised her drunken face and looked at Ziluolan with a silly smile: "It tastes good! Why don't you drink it? Why didn't I find it so delicious before? You guys come and try it too..."
"Fei Ying!"
Violet gritted her teeth, her voice filled with heartache, "Even if Taoyao was taken away, it's only temporary! She doesn't want to see you numb yourself with alcohol! You'll only make her more worried!"
“Delicious...”
Feiying seemed not to have heard and took another big gulp.
"It's really delicious...it turns out that wine is such a delicious thing..."
The wine flowed down the corners of her mouth and wet her collar.
But she seemed to no longer feel anything and just mechanically poured wine into her mouth, as if this would allow her to forget all the pain.
In those eyes that were bright in the past.
At this moment, only the turbid feeling of drunkenness remained.
……
Not long after, Feiying fell drunk again.
She kept drinking as if she was trying to get herself drunk.
This is no longer about drinking.
Instead, he drank alcohol without restraint.
Bottle after bottle, never ending.
The wine bottle fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the wine spread on the ground, emitting a pungent smell.
Violet and Jasmine had no choice but to move Feiying back to the dormitory again.
But this was of no use at all, Feiying always managed to slip away when they were not paying attention.
Then find the hidden wine accurately.
Although those eyes, which used to be bright, were now drunken, they were extremely sharp in finding the wine.
Even if all the wine found was destroyed, Feiying could still miraculously find new wine.
Later they discovered that Feiying had already hidden wine in various corners of the academy.
Deep in the dormitory closet, in the corner of the library, in the equipment room of the training ground.
Even the bell tower, which is rarely visited, has wine hidden in it.
It was as if she had anticipated this day and had made preparations in advance.
In just one night, the cheerful and lively girl turned into a real alcoholic.
Feiying, who is radiant on weekdays.
Now he drinks all day long and seems like a completely different person.
Her eyes became empty and her smile became bitter, as if she had lost all her vitality.
Without any choice.
Violet and Jasmine had no choice but to tell Xiao Bailian about this.
But the question now is, what can even Xiao Bailian do?
Feiying is a fairy after all.
And she's a pretty powerful fairy.
There is no way to stop her unless she is locked up.
But in her current state, something is obviously wrong...
Locking them up obviously won't solve the underlying problem, and may make the situation worse.
In the dormitory, all the girls felt a deep headache when they saw Feiying drunk again.
On the bed, the girl reeked strongly of alcohol.
Her school uniform was wrinkled beyond recognition and her hair was a mess, totally different from her usual refined appearance.
"The one who tied the bell must be the one who untied it..."
Xiao Bailian thought about it for a long time and finally said, "The best way now may be to find Taoyao. Only she can make Feiying return to normal. After all, the fundamental reason why Feiying became like this is because Taoyao was taken away."
"But where can we find it?"
Jasmine said anxiously, "The four cities of the Dawn Land, the Sea Kingdom, the Spirit Realm Sand Sea, the Mechanical City, the Time City..."
“There are so many places, we don’t even know where to start looking.”
"Not to mention that if Zhongmo takes Taoyao to the Rift Realm, it will be even more troublesome."
"That place is so chaotic and vast, with space cracks everywhere. It's simply not something we can get into right now..."
After much discussion, they still couldn't find a good solution.
Because everyone knows that Feiying’s problem is not alcoholism.
Alcohol is just a means for her to numb herself and escape from reality.
For an alcoholic.
The other party will always find an opportunity...
"This is how to do ah......"
Jasmine looked at Feiying who was drunk again and sighed helplessly.
She gently wiped the wine stains from the corners of Feiying's mouth.
"What a good person he was before, but now he has become like this..."
Feiying turned over on the bed, still mumbling something.
……
Just when Manzhu Academy was worried about Feiying's affairs, Feiying fell into a drunken dream and her consciousness became chaotic.
