Liang Sheng smiled slightly, and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "You're done, I've taken it seriously!"
The breeze blew through the streets, bringing with it a few fallen leaves. The cafe on the corner played classic old songs one after another, and those familiar lyrics seemed to be stained with shadows of the past. When Liang Sheng said this, I pretended to focus on certain street scenes and did not respond in any way.
Ahead is the Queen's Bar. When night falls in Haicheng, neon lights are lit everywhere, and the entrance to the Queen's Bar is already bustling. I pointed forward casually, then turned back to Liang Sheng and said, "Let's go to the bar. Doesn't Chen Shulei like to drink? I'm here just in case."
"Shen Yan!" Liang Sheng not only didn't take a step forward, but paused. This was the first time he called my name so seriously. His tone was full of complicated meanings. I stopped in shock. Turning back to meet his gaze.
"If I were you, I wouldn't go in." He suddenly said solemnly.
I was confused and asked: "Why?"
"Something might happen that you don't want to face."
What he said was serious, but I was confused. What could happen to Chen Shulei that I didn't want to face? Did he think there was any unpleasantness between Chen Shulei and me? Outside the bar, I couldn't understand the meaning of his words, but after entering the bar, I slowly understood, but it was already too late.
Chu Jin had already sent their booth location to my mobile phone. Although the Queen Bar at this time was not overcrowded, it was still much more crowded than an ordinary bar. After all, it was located in the commercial street, the most prosperous downtown area, and it was also the only bar on the commercial street. When we entered the bar, Liang Sheng took my hand, probably because he was afraid of getting separated from me. He was originally following me, but after I was stunned for a while, he finally held my hand.
We walked across the dance floor where a group of men and women were posing, and from time to time someone would bump into us. The air was filled with the smell of various brand-name perfumes and cigarettes. It was so exciting that I really wanted to turn around and leave.
What surprised me was that Liang Sheng pulled me in and went straight to the booth where Chu Jin and the others were. After seeing Chu Jin and his group, I suddenly became confused and felt like I had been deceived.
I turned my head and looked at Liang Sheng, hoping for an instant that he could give me an explanation.
Liang Sheng didn't say anything and sat down on the couch in the middle.
Chu Jin stood up and came over to pull me, and said with a smile: "Oh, Beauty Shen is here too, come and sit down." This sentence was meant for everyone to hear. While pulling me, he whispered in my ear. He said something that only I could hear: "Sit down first, I will explain to you later."
I basically know everyone here, except for a strange man and a woman I have never seen before. The man is wearing black casual clothes and looks very fashionable. If I guessed correctly, he should be Ling Yu. Sitting there The woman next to him snuggles up to him from time to time, probably his girlfriend. I suddenly saw Xuanxuan in the corner, and I was surprised and happy at the same time. I was surprised that she would appear here, but I was happy that I suddenly felt less embarrassed when she was here.
As soon as I sat down, Chu Jin introduced me to Ling Yu, "This one is amazing, Shen Yan, our boss Liang's royal makeup artist!"
He actually wanted to say 'girlfriend', but before he could say anything, Liang Sheng stared back with a sharp look.
Ling Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at me, chewing my name in his mouth, and said thoughtfully: "Shen Yan? This name sounds so familiar. I should have heard it somewhere."
Director Qin, still dressed in formal attire, interjected in an orderly manner: "She is my favorite student. I may have mentioned it in front of you."
Ling Yu's eyes flickered, "Well, maybe, since we are all friends, let me toast you first. Ana Shen, my name is Ling Yu, and I am the brother of these young masters. I just came back from the United States yesterday. Please give me some advice. "
I have participated in more formal occasions and more casual occasions, but now I feel a little embarrassed and don't know how to respond to their enthusiasm. I had no choice but to pick up the wine glass that had been prepared in front of me and said to Ling Yu: "I don't take it as advice. Since we are all friends, there is no need to be so polite."
I just put the wine glass to my lips, ready to drink it all in one go, when Liang Sheng whispered in my ear: "If you don't want to drink, just refuse. No need to force."
I ignored him and downed the glass of whiskey in one gulp.
Ling Yu drank more easily. He just raised his head and the cup was empty. He put the wine glass on the coffee table, suddenly looked towards me, and said with a bright light, "I remembered, you are Liu Nanhao's girlfriend, Ana Shen, yes, that's the name. When we were in the dormitory, Liu Nanhao often mentioned it."
I was so shocked that I almost dropped the quilt in my hand. The music on the stage was getting louder and louder, but our corner suddenly became quiet. I suddenly understood the meaning of Liang Sheng's words. The "things he didn't want to face" in his mouth turned out to be this. It turns out that he already knew that I was going to bring him here, and he also knew that Ling Yu and Liu Nanhao were college roommates.
I gently placed the cup on the coffee table, and Xuanxuan continued to add wine to me with a confused look on her face. I looked at Ling Yu and asked him: "You and Liu Nanhao are college classmates? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Ling Yu probably didn’t know that Liu Nanhao and I had broken up. He smiled and said: “Those of us who work in technology are generally otakus. Unless we have such a beautiful girlfriend like Liu Nanhao, we won’t be together for ten days and a half. It’s normal for you not to see me when you leave the dormitory once.”
I didn't know how to respond, so I turned my attention to Chu Jin, knowing that he was more eloquent and could adjust the atmosphere. After Chu Jin received my distress signal, he immediately put his arm around Ling Yu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Hey, our brothers are having a party. Why are you bringing up your college affairs? Come on, let's drink."
Ling Yu didn't fool him, he directly lifted his hand and said, "I'll drink some wine later. Let me chat with my siblings first."
Brothers and sisters!
Ling Yu was struck by an arrow in my heart.
Liang Sheng sat next to me without saying a word. The lights around him were dim, and I couldn't see his expression clearly. I could only vaguely feel an oppressive aura, and he was probably a little unhappy.
There were several people between Ling Yu and him, so it was not very convenient to talk. He simply squeezed in between Liang Sheng and Director Qin, and only Liang Sheng was talking to me. He sat down and asked me: "How is Liu Nanhao doing recently? I haven't talked to him for a long time." Got in touch."
It took me a lot of courage to say: "He and I have broken up." After I said it, I found that I felt much more relaxed and no longer needed to hide anything.
After hearing this, Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately apologized to me, "I'm sorry, I don't know, so... well, I don't mean any harm, so don't take it to heart."
His attitude was quite polite, so I didn't say anything. But who knew that after three rounds of drinking, the situation would completely change.
