night.
The moon is as cool as water.
Just after eleven o'clock, the next door was already humming and screaming softly.
Like a little wild cat.
Sun Wen turned over irritably on his own bed, picked up the pillow and covered his head, closing his eyes and trying to fall asleep by force.
The sound insulation of the broken hotel is too poor, so I have to find a stable place to live.
Fortunately, the meowing only lasted for a short while, and he didn't even know if it lasted five minutes before it stopped. He secretly laughed, and seized the opportunity to quickly fall asleep.
Otherwise, it will be lively after twelve o'clock.
Just as sleepiness brewed in the empty brain, the other side seemed to be affected by the sound just now, and it also began to hum early.
"Grass!"
Sun Wen sat up and scratched his hair, clenched his fists and wanted to knock on the wall, but stopped when he reached the wall.
Isn't that what hotels do
He was just going about his normal activities, but it seemed that he was more unreasonable to live in this small place because he was greedy for cheap.
Sitting back on the bed and listening for a while, Sun Wen took the bedside clothes and put them on, put on his wallet and mobile phone, opened the door and left the residence.
After eleven o'clock at night, there were almost no people on the street, only twos and threes of cars in the middle of the road drove by quickly, and their lights flashed away.
Wandering aimlessly on the road, the summer night was breezy, Sun Wen looked up at the stars in the sky, and then looked down at his own shadow, feeling a sense of loneliness in his heart.
Los Angeles is not big, but it is not small. Counting his time in college, he has also stayed here for six years.
Now I don't even have a place to live.
There was a thought of going home in my heart, but he stopped it immediately - so what if I go home
A college student from a key university finally came out of the village, and he just went back to inherit the one-acre three-point land in such a despondent way
Then what was the purpose of studying hard in the first place
If you have a chance to stay here, what can you do when you go back
During busy farming seasons, I go to work in the field before dawn, and I go back to eat and sleep at night when I can’t see anything. During slack seasons, I go to brag and play cards, and occasionally go to the city to do some odd jobs...
When you reach the age, go on a blind date to ask for a wife, have a child, and then hope that the child can walk out of that ravine...
Thinking of this, Sun Wen couldn't help but twitched his lips. It would be better to starve to death in Los Angeles than to live a life where you can see the end at a glance.
It's not easy to take root here, you have to work hard.
The convenience store in front was still open, so he walked in and looked at the shelves, "A pack of Nanjing, a lighter."
"Hi, fourteen dollars."
"Give."
Sun Wen paid the money and walked out of the store, opened a cigarette, lit one, and took a deep breath.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't smoked for a long time, and this puff made him feel a little dizzy. He stood on the spot and swayed a few times, closed his eyes to gather his composure, and then regained his stability, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
Start a family and start a business, start a business and start a family, which one comes first and which one comes after
He was a little dazed looking at the drifting smoke.
Although the current salary is not low, it is far from enough for an outsider like him to take root in Los Angeles. The house price alone makes people feel hopeless.
So a change has to be made.
Hope she can wait until then... Ugh.
After smoking a cigarette, Sun Wen threw away the cigarette butt and crushed it with his foot. He looked around, thought for a while, and then walked to the right.
I remember there was a bar over there, I went to have a drink or two before going back to sleep.
After walking for more than 20 minutes, he didn't find the bar, but found a bar, he hesitated and went in, anyway, he drank everywhere.
Qing Bar is also called leisure bar, mainly with light music, without the bustle and passion of ordinary bars, with warm lighting and soothing music, it looks more like a coffee shop.
Finding an edge to sit down, Sun Wen looked left and right at the decoration and environment of the store, and felt satisfied. Now he is more suitable for being alone rather than noisy.
After swiping his finger twice on the menu, he raised his head and said, "Come with a high-strength drink."
"How high?" The bartender at the bar shook his glass and asked with a smile, "The tallest?"
"Slightly worse than the highest."
The bartender made an ok gesture, picked a bunch of wine for a while, and started to operate.
It was already midnight at this time, there were not too many customers in the store, and they were scattered in twos and threes talking with their companions in low voices, and there were only three people sitting in front of the bar.
Sun Wen was not interested in greeting others, nor did others intend to make new friends. They each sat on one side, thinking about their own affairs, and did not speak in silence.
The bartender already had a job of chatting with boring customers. After a few words, he saw that Sun Wen was not very sexual, so he stopped bothering him and wiped his tools with a soft cloth.
The strong wine entered his throat and burned all the way into his stomach. Sun Wen pursed his lips and paused for a moment before letting out a long breath.
not bad.
"Little handsome guy, drinking alone?"
As the sound sounded, a faint fragrance wafted into Sun Wen's nose. He turned his head and saw that a woman with long red hair had just sat down beside him.
Wearing a long red dress, paired with red high-heeled shoes, exquisite makeup, flaming red lips and hair color complement each other, the whole person is like a mass of red fire, full of temptation.
"Alone." Sun Wen looked her up and down for a moment, then nodded in response, picked up his glass and took another sip without saying anything.
From this appearance, he should have come out to find someone to chat with
"together?"
Sure enough, the woman moved closer, her eyes flickering at him.
"It's just a drink. Is there any difference between being together or not?" Sun Wen shook his head.
"Drinking alone is dull wine."
"What about those two people?"
"Two people can relieve boredom." She smiled, moved the cup towards Sun Wen and touched it lightly, "Isn't it?"
"I drink just to sleep well, not bored." Sun Wen refused with a light smile.
"Your eyebrows are almost twisted into twists..." The woman half-spoken, seeing Sun Wen frowned, and then said: "Can you help me relieve my boredom?"
After being rejected twice, she still didn't mean to be angry, but just smiled slightly.
Sun Wen looked at her for a moment, then raised his glass to signal, "Just this one."
Whether it's a bar or a bar, it's a place to have fun.
He took a sip of wine, put down his glass and sighed.
In the hotel, here, even in Los Angeles, he was so out of place.
"How?" he asked.
As long as you don't drag him to have a one-night stand, you can solve it whatever you want, and go back to sleep after drinking this cup.
"How to solve it, let's chat." The woman shook the wine glass gently, her eyes turned around on him, "Are you a fitness trainer?"
"No." Sun Wen shrugged, "It's just like exercising once in a while."
"Then what do you do?"
"Artist."
"Oh?" She was surprised, "I can't tell."
"Many people say that." Sun Wen continued to shrug, "But I am indeed a painter."
She noticed Sun Wen's movements and blinked at him, "It seems that you don't really want to talk."
"It's okay, I'll accompany you to relieve boredom."
"It can't be solved like this." She swung the wine glass and took a sip, her lips were wet with red wine, making her look more rosy, "Why don't you play a game."
"..." Sun Wen pondered for a while, "Yes."
He is a little interested now, and he is idle when he is idle, why not see what this woman wants to do.
