Pei Jiao called out again, but there was still no response. She slapped his cheek harder. Two smacks and he still showed no sign of waking up. "You're still drunk, aren't you?" As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Yu opened his eyes.
Pei Jiao was shocked and leaned back. Wei Yu reached out and pulled her back, throwing herself against him. Pei Jiao lay on the ground and did not dare to move. She asked nervously, "You're not drunk?"
Wei Yu said, "A little."
Pei Jiao said, "Then why didn't you react when I called you just now?"
Wei Yu said, "I'm wondering if you'll slap me to death if I don't wake up."
