Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 22
This was the deepest sleep Shen Tingwei had slept in during this period of time.
When he woke up, he was no longer in the darkness of day and night. A ray of light golden morning light penetrated through the gaps in the undrawn curtains. There was no longer a musty smell in his breath that could not be removed no matter how much cleaning was done. , and the spine is not as painful as usual with the hardwood bed.
He didn’t have a mobile phone, and there was no watch in the guest room downstairs. The place where he lived before was relatively poor in sound insulation. Every morning, he could hear the alarm clock on the cell phone of his colleague next door, so he could also judge the time. He didn’t know how long he had slept this night, but he still remembered getting up early to go to work, and he didn’t dare to stay in bed. When he woke up, he quickly sat up from the bed.
Shen Ting didn’t have to admit that even though Lian Jue’s personality was not very good, he was almost thoughtful and attentive in many details.
He took out an electric toothbrush from the locker in the bathroom, tangled in several tubes of toothpaste with different flavors for a while, and finally chose one that tasted sweet orange.
After a simple wash, Shen Tingwei found a set of clothes in the closet to put on. The clothes in the closet were sent by Lian Jue last night. When he put it on the neckline, Shen Tingwei smelled a very light softener on the clothes. scent. I don’t know if he really lost a lot of weight, but he clearly confirmed the clothes label again and again. It was the size he usually wears, but the clothes still felt a little baggy on the upper body.
He pressed his ribs through the thin cloth, and it seemed to be more obvious than before.
Will it be malnourished?
Will malnutrition affect fetal development?
He couldn’t stop thinking about it.
When she came out of the guest room, the aunt was working in the open kitchen with her back to him, and she said to him without turning back when she heard the door open.
“Sister Li is early.” Shen Ting did not say.
With the embarrassing experience of being rejected for helping to clean up the dining table last night, Shen Tingwei didn’t ask himself to help this time, and went to the living room to take a look at the wall clock.
It was still early, and Shen Tingwei was slightly relieved. Pestle had nothing to do in the living room, so he picked up an egg yolk shortbread from the plate on the coffee table, and sat on the sofa and nibbled it.
Auntie noticed him when she turned around and put the plate on the table, and said, “Oh, why are you eating snacks so early? Are you hungry? It’s time for dinner.”
Shen Tingwei pinched the shortbread he just ate two small bites, and didn’t know whether to continue eating or put it down.
Auntie smiled: “If Mr. Shen has nothing to do, please make a trip and ask Mr. to come down for breakfast.”
Shen Ting didn’t stand in front of Lian Jue’s door, he raised his hand slowly, just as he was about to knock on the door, the door was pulled open from inside.
Lian Jue came out of the room with half-drooping eyes, tying his tie skillfully.
Before Shen Ting was caught off guard, he couldn’t hide, and the two bumped into each other. Even Jue seemed to have no idea that someone was standing in front of his door. He paused for a moment, and subconsciously pulled the staggering person in front of him.
“Sorry, I didn’t pay attention…” Shen Ting was busy apologizing.
The fresh sweet orange scent mixed with a very light milk fragrance penetrated into Lian Jue’s nasal cavity. He let go of Shen Tingwei’s slender arm, took half a step back, lowered his eyes and looked in front of him. The person holding him said coldly, “Is something wrong?”
“Sister Li asked me to invite you to dinner.” Shen Tingwei said.
Lian Jue replied casually, “Yes,” and walked over to the stairs over Shen Tingwei.
His thoughts were distracted, and he forgot which step he was tying his tie. The tie was tied in an ugly knot without embarrassment.
Lian Jue’s footsteps stopped on the second stairway down the stairs. Shen Ting didn’t follow behind him, so it was not good for him to go downstairs first, so he stood quietly at the stairway and waited for a while.
Seeing that Lian Jue didn’t move, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lian Jue turned around and asked with a stinky face, “Will you untie the knot?”
Shen Tingwei: “…”
I don’t know if the knot is really difficult to understand, Shen Ting didn’t lower his head to untie his tie for so long that Lian Jue couldn’t help but wonder if he was delaying it on purpose.
“Not yet?”
“Come on, wait a minute.”
Lian Jue’s gaze had nowhere to look, and he simply moved back to Shen Tingwei’s face.
Shen Tingwei stood two steps higher than Lian Jue, and Lian Jue’s sight leveled just to the tip of Shen Tingwei’s thin chin, Shen Tingwei stared at his tie with his eyes down, his thin lips pursed lightly. , looking attentively as if he was doing a math problem with a high degree of difficulty, his slender and long fingers were hooked around his neck, and the cool fingertips brushed Lian Jue’s Adam’s apple from time to time. a little itchy.
Lian Jue rarely has time to think about the type he likes, and now he has nothing to do, so he doesn’t know how to evaluate Shen Tingwei’s appearance in his heart.
He had to admit that Shen Tingwei’s appearance was highly in line with his aesthetics, otherwise he wouldn’t have meddled with that nostalgia at first glance.
Shen Tingwei’s eyes are very gentle and slender, with long eyelashes and thick eyelashes, the bridge of the nose is not too high, but the tip of the nose is very upturned, and the skin is more delicate than a girl’s. The types that I think are amazing, but they have a different taste when they are combined together. They are good-looking and durable.
pity. Lian Jue thought, the gold and jade are in the outside, and the failure is in it.
Shen Tingwei met his eyes inadvertently, a moment of confusion flashed in his eyes, and his overly white skin rose to an unnatural light red.
Lian Jue looked away and urged impatiently, “Hurry up.”
Shen Tingwei lowered his head and whispered “Oh”, and after a while, withdrew his hand, and for some reason, took a small step back: “Okay.”
Lian Jue didn’t speak, took off the tie that added trouble, turned around and went downstairs.
Before breakfast, Shen Ting forced himself to eat a lot, and endured the smell of oil to finish the fried eggs on the plate, but still couldn’t control and ran to the bathroom to retire.
He washed his face and came out of the bathroom. The aunt who was pacing anxiously outside the door looked at his pale face nervously and asked, “Mr. Shen, is the breakfast unpalatable?”
He shook his head and comforted in a low voice, “Hey, I’m not feeling well today.”
When he returned to the restaurant, Lian Jue was no longer there. The aunt put the warm milk in his hand and said, “Sir, you have eaten, and I went upstairs just now.”
Shen Tingwei took a sip of milk and said oh.
When Lian Jue came downstairs again, he changed into a set of clothes, a dark shirt with a neat black suit, and his tie was re-tied.
Seeing him walking straight towards the door, Shen Ting did not rush out, and hurriedly stopped him: “That, Mr. Lian, wait a moment.”
Lian Jue changed leather shoes at the entrance, Shen Ting did not stand awkwardly until Lian Jue changed his shoes and turned around, he did not speak.
It’s almost time for the trampoline park to open. It’s too far from the city, so I don’t care about the cost of taking a taxi. Whether I can get a taxi in the suburbs early in the morning is another matter. Shen Tingwei originally wanted to ask the watcher if it was inconvenient for Lian Jue to call a driver to take him to him, but worried that this request would cause trouble for people, so he hesitated for a long time and couldn’t say anything.
Lian Jue was very dissatisfied with his dawdling character, which was always half-spoken, and said in an unhappy tone, “Speak if you have something to say.”
Shen Tingwei said in a low voice, “I don’t know how to go to work…”
Lian Jue raised his hand and glanced at his watch, then raised his eyes: “I’ll only give you five minutes.” He turned around and walked out the door, and said in a very impatient tone, “If you don’t come out in five minutes, think for yourself. way to work.”
Shen Tingwei quickly became stunned, and hurriedly responded, “Ah, I’ll be right now”, and hurriedly squatted down to change his heels.
Shen Tingwei sat side by side with Lian Jue in the back seat. Lian Jue probably didn’t have the habit of listening to the radio. There was no sound in the car, and there was an awkward atmosphere in the silence. .
Worried that Lian Jue would be in a hurry, Shen Ting asked the driver to stop and put himself down before the car entered the city. The driver glanced at Lian Jue in the rearview mirror, and Lian Jue looked down at the tablet without speaking.
The car finally made a circle and stopped at the south square outside the trampoline hall.
Shen Ting thought for a while before getting out of the car, but still said to Lian Jue, “Thank you.”
Even Jue still looked at the tablet without looking up, and said to the driver, “Let’s go.”
Shen Tingwei stood on the side of the road and watched the car go away, turned and walked towards the venue.
As soon as he entered the door, Chang Kai hurriedly walked towards him, pulled him aside, and asked anxiously, “How was your situation yesterday? Why didn’t you say hello and left, and didn’t go back to the dormitory at night.”
Before Shen Ting could find a suitable excuse, Chang Xingxing lowered his voice again: “Who was that person yesterday? Did he trouble you?”
Shen Ting didn’t say no, and inexplicably asked her why she thought so?
“It’s fine if it’s not.” Chang Kai took a deep breath while stroking his chest, and then explained embarrassedly, “I heard from Li Yuan that a man came looking for you, and the man in a suit and leather shoes looked very uncomfortable. I thought someone was looking for you to collect debts or something…”
Chang Kai pretended to hate him: “It’s not you, you made yourself pitiful, I thought something happened to you.”
She made sure that nothing happened to Shen Ting, and then she felt relieved a little, patted him on the shoulder and said, “I treat you as a good friend. If you have any difficulties in the future, please speak up. Don’t always be afraid to trouble me.”
Shen Ting was not warmed by her, nodded and said, “Okay.”
The trampoline hall on Sunday was also busy from morning to night, and when it was time to get off work in the evening, there were still several girls in the venue who were still reluctant to leave. They were urged by the staff a few times before they came out to change their shoes.
After closing, Chang Kai took out a medicine box from the locker under the bar, found a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, and greeted Shen Tingwei to pull up his trouser legs.
“Hey—” Chang Xin frowned as soon as she saw his bruised calf, she shook the medicine bottle in her hand and sprayed Shen Ting’s uninjured calf, “Why are you knocking like this? Serious?”
Shen Tingwei gasped for breath in pain, and gently eased his breath: “I didn’t pay attention when I got down, I tripped over the side net.”
“Be careful, bro, my legs hurt, but luckily I didn’t hurt my bones.” Chang Kai sighed.
“Can you try to go?” Chang Xingxing put away the medicine box and wanted to come and help him.
Shen Ting was not amused by her fussing behavior, so she took away her hand helplessly, pulled down her trousers and stood up: “It’s alright, it didn’t hurt her feet.”
When the two of them came out of the stadium, it was already dark. Although Shen Ting wasn’t injured, it wasn’t his feet, but the piercing pain in his calf inevitably affected his walking. He walked very slowly, and Chang Happily matched his pace and slowed down to follow him, chattering about the trivialities of today’s work.
Shen Tingwei responded with each other, while thinking in his mind how to go back tonight, or should he go back to the dormitory for one night? Just thinking about it, a car not far away blew its horn briefly, Shen Ting didn’t look at it subconsciously, only then did he notice a black business off-road parked at the place where he got off early in the morning.
“Mr. Shen.” The driver got out of the car, stood beside the car and nodded to him from a distance.
Chang Xing’s words were halfway through, stuck in his throat, staring blankly at the driver and the car behind him, and at Shen Tingwei beside him, he exclaimed in a low voice in disbelief: “Damn it! Weiwei, with you Is this to experience life?”
“How can I experience life like this.” Shen Ting didn’t deny it, and didn’t know how to explain it to her.
Chang happily waved his hand generously and raised his eyebrows at him: “I understand the grievances and grievances of the giants. I don’t need to explain. I generally know that too many can’t survive two episodes, so go ahead.”
Shen Ting said goodbye to her without knowing whether to laugh or cry, walked slowly to the car, and politely said thank you to the driver.
Shen Tingwei was inexplicably nervous when he opened the car door, and secretly relieved when he confirmed that there was no one in the back row. His expression was caught in the eyes of the driver sitting in the driver’s seat, and it was taken for granted that it meant something else. , kindly explained: “Mr. Lian still has a job, so he can’t pick you up from get off work in person, so he sent me here.”
Shen Tingwei’s ears were blushing, and he didn’t know where to put his hands in embarrassment: “I didn’t mean that…”
