Although it was said lightly, the flirtatious meaning contained in this remark was vaguely vulgar.
Feng Ning stared at Jiang Wen and thought for a while, then suddenly chuckled: "Okay, let's watch it together."
After saying that, she folded her arms nonchalantly, her eyes looking into the distance, and began to watch seriously.
Growing up, Feng Ning has never lost to anyone when it comes to being thick-skinned.
In the darkness, the two of them were silent. Not far away, the live sex scene between them became more and more intense, with occasional panting and low moans.
Feng Ning stood still, his expression serious as if he was listening to an academic discussion.
Jiang Wen turned his head slightly and took the lead in retracting his gaze, "Let's go."
"Why are you leaving?" Feng Ning squinted his eyes and glanced at him from bottom to top, "You don't want to watch anymore?"
He said slowly, "I'm not as perverted as you."
She said, "Is this perverted? Didn't you just say those flirtatious words? How come you were just talking?"
Jiang asked: "..."
Seeing that he was almost speechless because of her, Feng Ning sneered, "You are really something." She turned around and left.
There were footsteps behind him, but Feng Ning ignored him. Following the LED lights, he entered a convenience store.
I picked out two bottles of travel-sized conditioner, two hydrating facial masks, and two bags of cucumber-flavored potato chips and put them on the counter.
Feng Ning took out his cell phone and asked, "How much?"
A hand reached out from behind and threw in a bottle of Nescafe coffee and mineral water.
The clerk paused while scanning the code, looking a little uncertain. "Are you two... together?"
"yes."
"no."
They both answered at the same time.
Jiang Wen pulled out the payment code and threw his phone on the cashier, "Scan me."
The clerk looked at the situation and thought it was just a quarrel between the young couple, so he didn't pay much attention and nodded, "A total of 227 yuan, do you need a plastic bag?"
"want."
Feng Ning put the things into the bag one by one, "Please give me the receipt as well."
Hanging the plastic bag on her wrist, she walked back, counted the receipt on the way, and transferred the money back to Jiang Wen on WeChat.
Jiang Wen was a few steps behind Feng Ning.
After a while, she stopped and turned around, "Why are you following me? Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Wen was quiet for a moment, then asked, "Only you are allowed to go back?"
“This is not the way back.”
Jiang asked: "..."
Most of the souvenir shops on the street ahead were closed. Feeling his phone vibrate, Feng Ning glanced down and sent a message to Shuang Yao.
Ning: It’s closed today. I’ll buy you a StellaLou backpack when you leave tomorrow.
Jiang Wen said, "Oh," and asked casually, "Why are you so angry? I just made a joke."
Feng Ning turned off his phone, paused for a moment, and said calmly: "If you don't have the ability, don't joke with me like this."
Jiang Wen stared at her in silence. He stood there, being scolded by her like a child who had done something wrong.
There was a lonely moon in the sky, reflecting a lonely person on the ground. Seeing him like this, Feng Ning's anger suddenly subsided a lot.
She started walking towards the B&B. After a while, she turned around and found Jiang Wen still there.
Feng Ning said to him, "Are you still not leaving?"
After coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Min Yueyue was changing clothes.
Feng Ning wiped his hair and sat down on the edge of the bed, "You want to go out?"
"I'm not going out." Min Yueyue sprayed the perfume on her wrists and put some behind her ears.
Feng Ning: "Then why are you making such a big fuss?"
"There is a family KTV on the third floor of this homestay. Let's go sing together later." Min Yueyue smiled brightly, "Ningning, I want to hear you sing."
Feng Ning changed the towel to another side and continued to wipe his hair: "You guys play, I'm tired, I want to sleep."
"No, no." Min Yueyue dragged her arm and said pitifully, "You come too, okay? Besides, it's not good for a girl like me to be alone with two men in the middle of the night."
Feng Ning looked at her and asked, "Do you still mind this?"
Min Yueyue was a little embarrassed: "No, I just want to hear you sing."
Feng Ning wiped her wet hair half dry, picked up the hair dryer and started blowing it.
Min Yueyue urged Feng Ning, "Hurry up, hurry up."
"You go first."
"Okay." Min Yueyue sat up from the bed, "Then remember to come later."
Feng Ning hummed.
...
...
She was too lazy to put on makeup, so she painted her arms, changed out of her pajamas, put on some lotion, and went out with her face bare and her long hair loosely tied up.
When he opened the door of the private room, Min Yueyue and Bai Hongyi were singing a song together. The lights were dimmed, and Jiang Wen was sitting in the corner of the sofa near the door, so he couldn't see the expression on his face.
Feng Ning walked to the other end and sat down.
They just finished singing a song, and Min Yueyue asked: "Ningning, what do you want to sing?"
Feng Ning didn't care, "Whatever, just help me order."
Min Yueyue flipped through the charts and selected a song called "Various Things" by Chen Li.
Bai Hongyi handed the microphone to Feng Ning. She took it, bent one leg, sat on the high stool, and waited for the prelude.
Min Yueyue came over after ordering songs and sat down next to Bai Hongyi. The two of them were talking. Jiang Wen sat on her left. Min Yueyue glanced at him casually. On his phone was the WeChat interface. She didn't care much and looked away.
...
When the first ethereal and slow sound came out, Bai Hongyi suddenly stopped talking. After listening to a few more sentences, he asked, "Did you forget to turn off the original singer just now?"
Min Yueyue: "This is Ningning's singing, can't you tell?"
Bai Hongyi was a little surprised, "She sings so well?"
Feng Ning didn't sing seriously, she sang carelessly, and skipped to the lyrics without even knowing them. Her singing voice was very different from her normal speaking voice.
The other three people in the box were silent.
Halfway through the song, Bai Hongyi came back to his senses and murmured, "Wow, that's awesome."
After the song was over, Bai Hongyi was the first to give her warm applause, "Feng Ning, really, it's the first time I heard you sing, it's so amazing, with this level and skill, why don't you participate in China's Voice?"
Feng Ning has long been accustomed to other people's compliments, she doesn't care: "Participating in talent shows to become a singer is not what I pursue."
Bai Hongyi was curious: "What are you pursuing?"
Feng Ning joked with him half-seriously: "Become a great orator."
Bai Hongyi: "Have you ever practiced singing?"
"I guess I'm gifted." Feng Ning thought for a moment, "I've been able to sing well since I was a child."
Bai Hongyi gave a thumbs up and said, "Then sing another one."
Min Yueyue got up and went to the song request station, and she ordered another song for her, "Watching Chibi Maruko-chan Alone," and said to them, "Ningning is also very good at singing this song. The tune sounds very cheerful at first, but she managed to make it sound very sad and heartbreaking."
...
...
It's dinner time. The aroma is wafting in from the window.
That's when other people start to eat happily.
I hold the bowl alone and watch cartoons alone
Tears fell unconsciously
...
I will try my best, even though I am so tired.
...
A few meters away, in a dark corner, Jiang Wen was always looking at her. The interlaced light and shadow fell on her face. Feng Ning faced the screen, watching the lyrics scrolling on it, and sang very seriously.
...
At that time, so much happiness surrounded me
I always feel that time is torture
...
But I grew up, and I learned to endure.
I won't be as willful as before.
...
Feng Ning finished singing two songs and put the microphone on the table, "I'm going to the bathroom, you guys play."
Min Yueyue took over and ordered Jay's "Confession Balloon". She is tone-deaf and sang the love song like a nursery rhyme.
Feng Ning came out of the bathroom and sat on the sofa to listen for a while, and then she heard Min Yueyue burst into laughter. She stood up and prepared to go back to her room to sleep. She looked around and found that the person sitting in the corner was gone.
Feng Ning asked casually, "Where is Jiang Wen?"
Bai Hongyi didn't care much, "Oh, he went downstairs to drink alone again."
Feng Ning caught a word: "Again?"
Thinking of something, she frowned, "He drinks often?"
"Yes." Bai Hong was stunned by her attitude. "You don't know?"
Feng Ning paused, "He didn't drink before."
"Really?" Bai Hongyi said, "Ryan was studying abroad, and he had a serious alcoholism for a while. He drank so much that his stomach perforated and he was sent to the hospital several times, but he still can't change."
Feng Ning went downstairs alone.
The dim light was on. She walked over to him but didn't speak immediately.
Jiang Wen didn't seem to notice someone else coming. With a few dings, the ice cubes floating in the glass gently collided with each other.
There were already a few empty bottles on the bar, all filled with strong liquor. She said, "Don't drink anymore."
No response.
Jiang Wen seemed not to hear, his eyes narrowed, and he took another sip. Feng Ning snatched his glass and said, "I want you to stop drinking."
Throw the wine glass on the table and the golden liquid pours out.
Jiang Wen was in a daze. He was already drunk, his eyes were moist, his vision was confused and a little distracted.
Feng Ning helped him sit on the sofa next to her. She went to the kitchen refrigerator to find some yogurt and took it out.
His eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.
"Jiang Wen?" Walking over and bending down, Feng Ning patted his face and said, "Drink some yogurt."
Based on his previous experience of taking care of drunk guests, Feng Ning decided to get another glass of water. There was no hot water in the B&B, so Feng Ning found an electric kettle and boiled some water. After a few minutes, when the water boiled, he poured it into a cup and added a little cold water.
Carrying the warm water, Feng Ning stopped not far away.
Jiang Wen put his legs on the coffee table, lowered his head slightly, and held a cigarette in his mouth, which he held with his hand. The lighter clicked, and a faint flame jumped, lighting the cigarette. He took a puff and the smoke came out.
Feng Ning just stood there, staring at Jiang Wen's profile as he smoked.
He only smoked half a cigarette and then waited quietly for the red butt to burn out.
Feng Ning remembered that in the past, even though he liked to look down on others with his chin down, he was well-educated, had excellent grades, rarely swore, didn't smoke, and rarely even drank.
Compared to his youth, he was becoming more and more elegant, but his every move was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
Suddenly, a feeling of discomfort and loss emerged.
Feng Ning walked over and put down the warm water.
Looking at her, his eyes were a little clearer than before.
Jiang Wen stood up, staggered around her, and sat back at the bar. He bent his elbows, supported himself on the table, and picked up the cup, seeming to be sober, but not sober.
He picked up the opened bottle of wine next to him and refilled his glass without caring.
Indulgence and depravity are evident in every gesture.
Feng Ning went over and tried to snatch his wine glass.
Jiang Wen turned sideways, her hands were pressed on the table, unable to move. He had a cold expression, raised his head to finish the wine, and then suddenly lowered it.
The spicy wine went down his throat, and his voice became hoarse. "Have you seen enough?"
Feng Ning used some strength to pull back his hand, "Bai Hongyi said you are an alcoholic. Why?"
Jiang Wen lowered his head and said nothing.
"Why?"
"What why?"
She asked softly, "Why did you become like this?"
Feng Ning couldn't imagine that the drunkard and smoker in front of her was the same boy in her memory.
Jiang Wen tilted his head slightly and said to Feng Ning, "What does my business have to do with you?"
After looking at him for a moment, Feng Ning said, "You weren't like this before."
He said "oh".
Faint music came from upstairs. Feng Ning saw Jiang Wen like this. She didn't know what she felt in her heart. She said, "Jiang Wen, you are no longer yourself."
"Jiang Wen from the past?"
After a full minute of silence, he chuckled, "The previous Jiang Wen couldn't even keep the person he liked. Why should I be like him?"
