On the weekend, Men Zi went out for a party and came to Lin Weixia's house to spend the night. Lin Weixia was very caring. When Men Zi woke up from her sleep at noon, she found that Lin Weixia not only cooked her hangover soup, but also kept breakfast warm in the kitchen.
"Wuwuwu, sister, what should I do if I can't leave you?" Men Zi put his arm around Lin Weixia's shoulders.
Lin Weixia patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, go wash your hands."
After washing his hands, Men Zi sat at the dining table. He took a spoon and remembered something. He winked at Lin Weixia and said, "I heard everything."
"What did you hear?" Lin Weixia poured her a glass of water.
"You're following Ban Sheng. Someone saw you and Ban Sheng coming out of the school lab building one after the other on Thursday afternoon. The Jingda message board was going crazy, especially your male fans were howling and jokingly saying they wanted to save money to buy a GTR. What the hell is this? So superficial!"
"Apart from those noisy noises, I took a look at the photos they took secretly. You two have a strong CP atmosphere. It's very pleasing to the eyes and you are a perfect match." Men Zi teased.
The photo Men Zi mentioned had a purple word "hot" behind the post about them on the Beijing University message board. The angle was very clever, the boy was wearing a black coat, with his head straight and cold, walking out. Behind him was a tall girl, only a part of her profile was exposed, with red lips and white teeth, her hands were hanging down, and the tall boy was holding a cigarette, with his hands behind his back.
Under the dark white sky, the perspective makes it look like two people are holding hands in a misaligned manner.
After Men Zi finished speaking, she noticed that Lin Weixia's expression was not right. In a flash, she remembered everything Weixia had said before, and connected them all together, throwing out a set of literary words:
"No way? An old flame? Damn it, he gave up a prestigious school like Penn and returned to China for you. Is he that infatuated?"
Lin Weixia's heart shrank, she shook her head, her expression gloomy: "Probably not, he doesn't pay much attention to me now."
Also very cold.
When Men Zi wanted to say something else, the phone on the table rang with a text message reminder. Lin Weixia picked it up and took a look. It was a message from Ning Chao:
[Hey, my friend, before I returned to China last time, you said you would treat me to a meal, and I have been waiting for you. ]
Lin Weixia laughed. The police academy where Ning Chao studied was very close to Peking University, only six bus stops away, so these old friends would come out for dinner from time to time.
[Then come over, I'll treat you to beef hotpot. ] Lin Weixia replied.
After sending the message, Lin Weixia remembered that Men Zi was still sitting at home, so she looked up and asked, "I have an appointment with my high school classmate to have dinner together, do you want to join us?"
"Okay, I have nothing to do anyway." Men Zi said readily.
Lin Weixia typed on the screen, asking Ning Chao for his opinion: [Do you mind if I bring a friend? ]
Ning Chao quickly replied: [It’s not a big deal, let’s do it together. ]
As soon as winter comes, the hot pot restaurant in the nearby shopping mall is full of people. Lin Weixia and Men Zimian sit together. Men Zi is taking orders with his iPad and asking her if she likes mushrooms while ordering.
Lin Weixia said that she was fine with anything and had no dietary restrictions. After a moment, a tall figure sat down opposite her. It was Ning Chao.
He was wearing a black drawstring jacket. He had just finished training and was only wearing a dark blue training uniform underneath. The muscles bulged from his chest downwards.
The five-pointed star emblem on the left chest sparkles.
During the two years that Ning Chao was in the police academy, his eyes became increasingly darker and brighter. He no longer had the gangster spirit of a street thug, but had become more mature and steady.
As soon as Ning Chao sat down, he started to heat the dishes for the girls. Men Zi's eyes seemed to be glued to Ning Chao since he entered the room.
"Xia Xia, how about introducing yourself?" Men Zi pushed Lin Weixia's arm.
Lin Weixia turned her eyes away from the menu and said belatedly, "This is my high school friend, Ning Chao, who is a sophomore at the Police Academy next door."
"This is my friend, Men Zi, who is in the same grade as me and is in the directing department."
Men Zi immediately extended her hand generously, opened her red lips and smiled: "Hello, it turns out you are my junior."
She deliberately emphasized the word "junior fellow" and stared at Ning Chao with her charming eyes. What she was thinking was that this trip was not in vain, as she met a wolfdog. This man exuded the rough smell of abstinence from head to toe.
The waiter just brought the dishes over, Ning Chao immediately took them and put them on the table. He didn't respond to Men Zi's move at all, and glanced at her:
"I'm a repeater."
The episode was quickly revealed, and Lin Weixia and Ning Chao chatted about their recent lives while eating hot pot. Men Zi was responsible for making jokes, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
During the meal, the waiter brought some soup. Men Zi, who was sitting next to her, reached out to take it without thinking. This scene happened to be seen by Lin Weixia, who screamed in fright.
Just as his white fingertips were about to touch the scalding hot casserole, a sturdy arm reached out. Ning Chao took it and said directly:
"Let me do it."
During the break in the meal, Men Zi glanced at Ning Chao's hands, which were full of blue veins, the back of which was red, and there were several blisters on his fingertips, but he didn't say a word and didn't mention the matter.
Men Zi felt embarrassed instead.
When they were almost done eating, Ning Chao put down his chopsticks and went to the bathroom. Men Zi also put down his juice cup and followed him. Men Zi waited at the bathroom exit for a while, and saw a black figure coming out. He walked forward, his tone no longer serious, and said seriously:
"Thank you for what you did just now."
The corridor leading to the restroom was narrow and crowded. Ning Chao was about to say something when she saw a pedestrian about to bump into her, so he raised his hand and pulled her.
Ning Chao usually had high-intensity training in the police academy. Besides, he had no idea that this girl, although she looked tall, was actually so light that he could pull her over with just one pull.
Men Zi fell heavily into his chest.
With the tender beauty in his arms, Ning Chao's expression suddenly became unnatural, and then his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Are you still not getting up?"
Men Zi withdrew a little, and then started to act frivolously again. She casually took off the bamboo dragonfly hairband on her wrist, forced it into the boy's hand, and said:
"Next time, bring this to me in the first class of the directing department. You can exchange it for a prize. Consider it my thank you gift today."
In the past, Men Zi would always lay out bait for people to chase after her. Today was the first time she took the initiative. She was secretly happy, but before she could react, a tall shadow came over her.
Ning Chao used the hair tie as handcuffs and tied a knot around her wrists. Her wrists were tied together, and her fair arms were red from being tied. The more she struggled, the tighter it got.
Men Zitong was in tears and almost swore.
There was no trace of pity in Ning Chao's eyes. The bandit spirit hidden in him was revealed. He snorted and laughed: "Do you know what the police do?"
"Specially dealing with bad college girls like you."
After saying that, Ning Chao left without looking back.
Lin Weixia had just finished the last piece of beef. Seeing Men Zi coming back, she wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, "Xiao Zi, are you still eating? By the way, Ning Chao said he had something to do and left first."
"Oh, I'm full." Men Zihui replied.
Lin Weixia and Men Zi parted at the entrance of the shopping mall. She was a little full and planned to walk home to digest the food. On the way, the cell phone in her pocket vibrated, so she took it out and looked at it.
It was an address sent from an unfamiliar number - Box 1203 of TAK Bar.
Lin Weixia turned off the screen and returned home. As soon as she opened the door, Shengxia came to greet her with wagging tail. She squatted down and played with the puppy for a while.
Then I sat at my desk, turned off my cell phone, reviewed my lessons, and went over some exam points.
The sky darkened silently, and the color of the winter clouds was a little blurry, like a light shining through an orange peel, bright yellow.
Lin Weixia got up and packed her things. She stood in front of the closet and found that her clothes were mostly in simple, cool tones. She picked out a few pieces, changed her clothes, and put on some light makeup in front of the mirror.
At eight o'clock, Shi'an Street is bustling with traffic, neon lights are flashing, and the LED screen hanging high in the center of the road is switching between different advertising images.
Lin Weixia drove to TAK Bar, and was led by a waiter wearing a bow tie to take the elevator to box 1203.
She pushed the door open and a wave of heat hit her face. A pair of amber eyes were calm as they looked around the environment.
This box was divided into two floors, with an oil painting of the Garden of Eden from the Middle Ages hanging upside down on the ceiling. Red and purple lights flashed, and the atmosphere was dim and hazy. From time to time, there were the giggles of girls and the cheers of boys playing games.
It gives people a feeling of being out of touch with reality.
Lin Weixia stood there, with fair skin and beautiful looks, and a cold and cool appearance. She quickly attracted the attention of the person sitting on the sofa and asked:
"Hey, girl, who are you looking for?"
"Ban Sheng." Lin Weixia said.
I don’t know if they heard some huge joke, they all laughed out loud, someone put out his cigarette and exchanged glances with his companions, meaning - oh, here comes another moth to the flame.
One boy showed a sly smile and said, "Go find Ban Shao. He probably can't spare the time to see you right now."
Lin Weixia didn't want to continue talking to them, so she took out her phone and sent a message to Ban Sheng:
[I have arrived.]
Soon, the phone screen lit up, and Ban Sheng replied. His words were brief, with only two words:
[Come up.]
Lin Weixia didn't reply and put the phone back into her pocket. After a while, someone came down the spiral staircase in a hurry. She squinted and saw that it was Qiu Minghua.
"Girl, come, I'll take you upstairs." Qiu Minghua said with a smile.
Lin Weixia went up with him and caught a glimpse of Qiu Minghua's lively expression. She couldn't help but smile and said, "You are so happy that he is back."
"Of course, I'm a die-hard fan of Mr. Ben."
As soon as she went up, Lin Weixia looked over and saw that the environment here was even more decadent than the first floor. There were people playing billiard and men and women hugging and flirting with each other.
The coffee table was filled with wine glasses, the ashtray was full of cigarettes, and someone was shaking dice and making cheers. A puff of white smoke came over, the smell was choking, and Lin Weixia couldn't help coughing a few times.
The central figure of the topic was sitting on the sofa, with a lazy look on his face. Because he had drunk some wine, his lips were red under his cold white skin, which made him look a little sick. And the goddess of the Beijing University Art College, Shi Li, who was said to be unattractive to anyone, was sitting next to him.
The red light flowed on the boy's face.
Cut out a careless and uninhibited Ban Sheng.
Lin Weixia walked over from the other side. The aisle between the coffee table and the sofa was a bit narrow. When she passed by Shi Li and his group, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
She felt Shi Li's wary eyes, but ignored them. Lin Weixia stood in front of Ban Sheng. The aisle was narrow, and her pair of straight, white legs were next to his knees. If she wasn't careful, she would fall and fall on the boy's thighs.
Ban Sheng lowered his neck and was mixing the cocktail. He picked up a slice of grapefruit and threw it in. The checkered ice cube fell into the glass with a "pop", and a drop of water splashed onto the back of Lin Weixia's hand.
"I have something to tell you." Lin Weixia looked at him.
I don't know if she didn't hear it because the noise in the box was too loud, or if Ban Sheng didn't intend to pay attention to her. In any case, he continued to mix his drinks in a casual manner and didn't even look over.
The people around noticed this atmosphere and immediately looked at Lin Weixia with mocking eyes, while Shi Li looked at her with amusement.
Did Ban Sheng give her a look
"I'm leaving first."
Lin Weixia withdrew her gaze from him, turned around and was about to leave. The light was dim and she could not see the road clearly. Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Ban Sheng raised his hand and grabbed her in front of everyone.
He clenched his hands so hard that her skin burned and her blood vessels accelerated. This domineering look made me look like Ban Sheng in the past.
Lin Weixia turned around, and their eyes were fixed on each other again as if no one was around.
"Would you like a drink?" Ban Sheng held her wrist with one hand and held the square-mouthed glass in the palm of his other hand. It was the drink he had just mixed.
In the past, Ban Sheng was reluctant to let her drink alcohol, and he would drink for her when she lost in games.
Lin Weixia's eyes were a little sore. She suppressed her emotions and said coldly, "I'm allergic to alcohol."
In fact, Lin Weixia is not allergic to alcohol. She will use this excuse when she doesn't want to drink or when others force her to drink.
Ban Sheng chuckled and didn't force it. Just as he was about to put down his wine glass, Shi Li, who was sitting next to him, suddenly leaned over, and a faint floral scent permeated Lin Weixia's nose.
Shi Li took the wine glass from Ban Sheng's hand, and gently stroked his slender fingers on the glass with his little finger, and said generously:
"Give me a drink. I haven't tried the drink you made yet."
At the same time, Shi Li looked at Lin Weixia with a provocative and mocking look. For a moment, they were very quiet and the atmosphere was filled with undercurrents.
A boy watching from the side recognized Lin Weixia and secretly felt pity for this girl. Lin Weixia looked pure and innocent, and although her personality looked cold, she was a harmless person. She was not afraid of being pressed to the ground and caressed by someone of Shi Li's rank.
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment.
Everyone looked at Lin Weixia. Some people felt sorry for her and were about to smooth things over for her when they saw that there was no sign of fear on Lin Weixia's face and she did not try to snatch the glass of wine from Shi Li's hand.
Instead, she leaned over and picked up the half-empty glass of wine in front of Ban Sheng, put her lips on the rim of the glass, tilted her head back, and her snow-white swan neck formed a beautiful arc as she drank his wine.
The cup was put back on the table, and there was an obvious wet lipstick mark on the transparent square-mouthed glass.
It's ambiguous to the extreme.
Lin Weixia easily made the atmosphere around them become humid, hot and restless with just one move.
"Fuck, that's so cool."
"Ban Sheng must have had something going on with this girl. Look at the look in his eyes."
"That's incredible. I'm just a spectator. Why is my face getting so hot?"
Shi Li's face turned pale and then red, and then red and then pale. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Qiu Minghua came over and forcibly pulled Shi Li away, saying non-stop: "Sister, I really have something to talk to you about."
After he finished speaking, Qiu Minghua hurriedly pushed Lin Weixia to Ban Sheng's side and asked her to sit down. Shi Li walked out reluctantly and saw -
Under the flashing red and blue lights, Ban Sheng, who was always cold and indifferent to people's gazes, tilted his neck with a sharp profile. He raised his hand and gently wiped the foam from the corner of the girl's lips with his thumb.
The light was dim and it was hard to see clearly. The two of them were very close to each other. His red hands with clear joints were placed on his rosy lips. The girl looked up at him, and the angle made it seem like they were about to kiss.
