MTL - Approach-Chapter 31
Zhexi actually doesn't like drinking coffee, she always thinks it tastes a bit bitter and weird, even if milk and sugar are added.
But today she had the idea to try. She didn't sleep very well last night, especially in the second half of the night. She was disturbed by the inexplicable itching on her back and felt a little hot inside. She got up and turned on the air conditioner, but felt cold again. I feel hot, and I have been tossing and tossing for a long time...
I woke up this morning and yawned, the circles around my eyes were blue, and I knew I didn't sleep well last night.
Seeing her listless and sleepy, Xiao Lin kindly suggested: "Why don't you drink some coffee, this thing refreshes you, and you won't feel so uncomfortable after drinking it."
Zhexi paused slightly with his fingertips, his expression seemed to be hesitating, and Xiao Lin continued: "I have special coffee sugar here, you can put two in it, this will dilute the original bitterness of the coffee, and it tastes the same. Not bad."
Zhexi covered her mouth uncontrollably and yawned again as she listened, she was really sleepy... It seems that she must drink something today, she got up and took the cup to get the coffee, but she didn't use Xiaolin's Sugar, she took out a few pieces of candy from the candy box she carried with her, put them all into a white porcelain cup, and finally stuffed two pieces into her mouth. The sour taste made her feel refreshed...
Xiao Lin looked at her curiously, Zhexi tilted her head, held the candy box and sent it forward: "Would you like to try it?"
Xiao Lin nodded a few times.
Zhexi took one for him, then put it back in his pocket.
The two of them bulging their cheeks, eating candy and drinking coffee to work, it feels quite novel...
At noon, Zhexi, Xiao Lin and several other colleagues went to the restaurant area for dinner.
"I just saw Manager Wan go out in a suit and leather shoes." Xiao Qi moved his head forward, lowered his volume, and whispered to them. Wan Lizhe basically didn't wear formal clothes when he came to the company, unless he was receiving distinguished guests or had important appointments.
Zhexi couldn't help eating much slower.
Ah Chen (the man who sneered before) said clearly: "I guess he has his eyes on another girl."
Xiao Qi couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he heard this, and he didn't know whether his tone was more envious or more sarcastic: "If we had one-tenth of the charm of Manager Wan, we wouldn't be alone until now..." The word charm, Xiao Qi bit hard.
In fact, Wan Lizhe's other things are fine, but his private life is a bit too casual and chaotic. I don't know if he got infected with the atmosphere when he was studying abroad or it's just his nature...
Zhexi put his chopsticks to close the plate, and made a gesture to get up and leave.
Several people looked at her inexplicably, and asked, "What's the matter? You don't want to eat?"
"Today's food is a bit weird, I can't swallow it."
After Zhexi left, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, lowered their heads and tasted the dishes on the plate again: "Isn't this taste the same as yesterday's? Don't you think there's anything wrong?"
No one knew who answered: "Who knows, eat quickly." Only then did they have a serious meal.
Zhexi peeled off a piece of candy, stuffed it into her mouth, and closed her eyes to rest on the sofa in the leisure area.
She had a premonition that the person Wan Lizhe was going to meet today should be Su Mochen... Zhexi frowned, and the feeling of boredom from yesterday invaded her again... She took out her mobile phone, stroked Su Mochen's name, several times I wanted to press the button to dial it, but finally gave up...
In the afternoon, Xiao Lin obviously felt that Zhexi was a little bit unhappy besides being sleepy... She frowned and kept a straight face... Xiao Lin became more and more sure that Zhexi came here, and the girl was in a bad mood when she came there Stable, don't provoke, otherwise the consequences will be very serious... Xiao Lin looked cautious until he got off work, for fear that he would accidentally bump into the muzzle of the gun...
Zhexi called Wei Feng when he got off work, and wanted to ask someone to have a drink, but Li'er was not feeling well, and Wei Feng couldn't leave, so Zhexi went alone.
After much deliberation, Zhexi went to the bar that she went to with Wan Lizhe last time. She didn't want to be alone in an environment that was too quiet. She was prone to overthinking and worrying...
A group of monsters danced wildly in the bar, shaking their heads and twisting their waists. Zhexi glanced at them, not interested in these at all, just ordered a glass of wine, and sat down in a corner to drink quietly.
People who are empty of wine are even more annoying, coupled with the unbearable and deafening music, Zhexi feels that she can't stay for a second... When she was about to leave, she encountered a few people who were pulling her, and accidentally bumped into her , Zhexi didn't care to meddle in other people's business, so she stepped aside, and then she was about to turn her head away... Unexpectedly, the girl who was pulled suddenly grabbed her sleeve, her eyes were blurred, her face was flushed, and her lips still smelled of alcohol : "I don't know them, they are so annoying..."
Zhexi turned her eyes and glanced at the men who pulled her, all of them were vile and obscene... Zhexi frowned slightly, and she couldn't help but think of the old fat man (Fatty Li) and being persuaded to drink at the table Su Mochen...
After the scene flashed in her mind, Zhexi had the idea of meddling in her own business, she said with a sullen face, "Let her go."
Those wretched men saw that Zhexi was a girl, and she was a very good-looking one. Not only did they have no fear in their eyes, but their mouths were about to flow out...
"Yo, which show is this from?" One of the short and fat men said with a sneer, "I want a beauty to save a beauty..." As soon as he finished speaking, the other wretched men also laughed obscenely...
"We want to play with this little sister," another thin man with sunken cheekbones said saliva. Frowning with a cold face, he raised his leg and kicked, the skinny man fell to the ground in embarrassment, and when he landed, he hit the people beside him... Before the other people could react, they heard the sound of their own bones breaking, and then staged a killing spree. Howling like a pig...
Zhexi made a quick decision, and her movements were crisp and neat... While the surroundings were in chaos and howling, she dragged the dazed girl, nimbly shuttled through the crowd, and ran out of the door quickly... The girl was delicate and frail, Zi is different from her, before she even left the bar door, she ran out of breath. As soon as she got out of the door, she leaned against the wall and leaned on her sides to breathe hard: "I can't do it...I...cough cough cough..."
Zhexi glanced into the bar, seeing that no one was chasing her, she was not in a hurry to rush her.
She walked over and supported her slightly: "You can't rest here, it will be troublesome when someone comes." Getting into the game is very troublesome...
The girl's face was flushed from coughing, and after such a toss, she became sober. She said intermittently: "You can't beat them. If they dare to come again...they won't be able to eat and walk around... beat him to death... "
With the help of the light, Zhexi vaguely caught a glimpse of the cyan tattoo on her fair neck... and carefully looked at her facial features, she was immature and young, probably a student...
"Are you an adult?" Zhexi asked helplessly.
"I just passed my eighteenth birthday..." The girl had already recovered, and her breathing was not so urgent.
"You should still be in school, right? Why would you want to come to a place like a bar?"
The girl walked slowly with Zhexi's support, and when she heard her question, she couldn't help frowning and said, "I had a fight with my dad, and I ran out in a fit of anger..."
Zhexi ended his speech and didn't know what to say. Seventeen or eighteen-year-old children are at the time of rebellion, and they dare to run away from home if they are unhappy.
Zhe Xi kept silent, and the girl turned her head to look at her: "Why don't you ask me why I quarreled with my dad?"
Zhexi choked for a moment: "Well...why are you arguing?"
"You are so boring, a bit stupid." The girl suddenly said this.
Zhexi paused and looked at her with a wooden expression.
"Yes, that's it." The girl couldn't help laughing.
Down.
I don't know if it's to get back the scene or something else, Zhexi suddenly put on a straight face, with a serious expression: "You're still laughing, do you know how dangerous it was in the bar just now? If you didn't meet me..."
"Oh, I know I was wrong, don't be so fierce..."
Zhexi choked again, her lips moved a few times, and in the end she didn't say anything, just kept a straight face, and didn't plan to talk to the girl anymore...
The girl peeked at her a few times and found that the man seemed angry.
"I really know I was wrong," the girl said with seriousness on her face, "It's also my first time to come to this kind of place... I didn't know that I would encounter such a thing... Also," the girl twitched and said again He said, "Thank you tonight."
Only then did Zhexi's expression soften a little, and he said, "Be more careful in the future, there are mixed fish and dragons in the bar, there are everyone, you'd better not go to such a place."
The girl nodded, and then told Zhexi the reason for her quarrel with her father. In fact, when she was eighteen years old, she got a tattoo on her neck without telling her family. Later, her father found out, and the two had a big fight... Zhexi listened to some consolation, and then sent the girl to sit down. I took a taxi, and finally took a taxi back to my residence...
She reeked of alcohol, and before she could change her clothes, the doorbell rang...Suddenly, she felt like she was going to be caught for doing something wrong...She hurried to the bedroom, changed her clothes quickly, and tidied up a little before going Open the door for Su Mochen...
"Why so long?" After Su Mochen came in, a faint smell of alcohol and tobacco filled his nostrils, which was a mixed smell, "Where did you go today?"
Zhexi was stared at by her, and her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye... She still remembered that Su Mochen specially told her not to drink alcohol during the recovery period... She has no hobby of drinking, but she is really depressed today...
Seeing the suspicious blush on her face, Su Mochen took a step forward, and reached out to hold Zhexi's arm when she was about to step back. She turned her head and sniffed, her face turned cold instantly: "You're drinking, right?" Isn't that right?" It was an affirmative tone.
Zhexi trembled uncontrollably, speaking in a very low voice: "Drink a little."
Su Mochen shook off her arm, turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing her action, Zhexi panicked, her heart beating non-stop... In a hurry, she hugged Su Mochen from behind, tilted her head on his neck, and muttered softly, "I know I was wrong..."
