Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 37

Shen Ting did not rush to the entrance of the descending ropeway, but was told that it was too late and the ropeway had been closed.
Shen Ting didn’t bow and took a few breaths, and realized that he was not suitable for strenuous exercise right now. He sat down on the waiting chair at the entrance of the ropeway, took a deep breath, and called Lin Chen again. A long beep sounded on the phone, and when Shen Ting was not ready to hang up, he was finally connected.
Lin Chen still maintained that detached but not indifferent attitude, as he did every time he called: “Mr. Shen? Do you need anything?”
He was in a noisy environment, and it seemed that someone was arguing fiercely next to him. Shen Ting didn’t feel that his phone call was not right, but the feeling of unease in his heart was too torturous, so he could only temporarily interrupt Lin Chen’s work: ” Just now I……”
Before he could finish speaking, a voice approached on the other end of the phone, and it stopped abruptly after saying a word. It should have been stopped by Lin Chen.
Soon, the noisy voice disappeared from the phone, and Lin Chen said to him, “Go ahead.”
Shen Tingwei said to him again: “I just saw the news, how is Lianjue now?”
Lin Chen was silent for a while, and said, “Mr. Lian was criminally detained by the public security department at noon the day before yesterday. . .
It’s not difficult for Shen Ting to guess the reason. He stared at the edge of his clothes that had just been rolled up from running, smoothed it with his fingers, and asked an inappropriate question: “Is it made by the Chen family?”
Lin Chen didn’t know how to answer, so he bypassed his question and said, “The specific situation is still under investigation. I have contacted a lawyer on my side. Don’t worry too much, Mr. Shen, your health is important.”
Lin Chen paused, and seemed to be out of a personal point of view, and said to Shen Tingwei: “Lian will be fine, I believe Lian will be fine.”
Shen Tingwei said, “Okay.”
“Then you rest first, and I’ll let you know if anything happens.”
Lin Chen should have a lot of things to deal with, so he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Shen Ting didn’t hold the phone and sat on the bench for a while.
The sun had completely set, and the sky was already very dark. A gray figure sat down beside him in the corner of his eye and handed a bottle of mineral water to his eyes.
Shen Ting didn’t take it, and said, “Thank you.”
Chang Kai was really worried, and came over, seeing him sitting on the bench in a lost soul, inexplicably a little sad.
“Did something happen?” she asked.
Shen Ting didn’t nod his head.
“Are you in a hurry?”
Shen Ting did not speak. Are you in a hurry? For Julian Jue, he should be in a hurry, but he can’t help, and it’s useless to be in a hurry.
Shen Tingwei didn’t understand why his heart palpitations were almost unbearable, because Lian Jue was the father of the child? Or was it because Lian Jue had helped him so much, yet he went to such a pure place to “nurture the body” at the time of Lian Jue’s crisis? Or maybe both.
Emotions during pregnancy are easy to put on huge scales.
Shen Tingwei didn’t want to let himself have too much emotional fluctuations, and deliberately reduced his already insignificant weight in Lian Jue’s life, thinking that if it wasn’t for the child, there might not have happened between Lian Jue and him afterwards. Halfway through.

As if he was suddenly awakened, he realized that at this moment, worrying about Lian Jue was completely unnecessary. People like Lian Jue naturally have his own solutions. If it doesn’t help, there is Lin Chen by his side, or someone else.
Chang Kai fiddled with his mobile phone twice, found a map on the mountain, and handed it to him: “There is a hiking trail here, if we’re in a hurry, let’s go down now. It’s so late that we probably won’t be able to drive down the mountain. I can drive you… but it might be a little dark on the way down the mountain, I’ll ask the proprietress of the guesthouse to borrow a flashlight later.”
Shen Tingwei shook his head, not to mention whether his body could withstand the four or five hours of mountain roads, driving at night with the driving skills of Changxin alone was already a very big safety hazard.
“Forget it, let’s go back tomorrow.” Shen Tingwei smiled at her reluctantly, “It’s useless to go back now. Let’s go, let’s go back and have something to eat, don’t you still want to go to the outdoor deck of the B&B to have a look ?”
Chang Xingxing heard the pretending to be relaxed in his tone, and didn’t know what to comfort him, so he followed him silently and slowly walked to the place where he lived.
The open-air platform of the homestay is also an important item in the play guide sent by Changxin.
The open-air floor is arranged in the style of a forest courtyard. The outer wall of the fence is decorated with spherical warm lamps made of vines. The top of the head is a curtain made of white linen or gauze fabric. The hanging ends follow the night wind. Whisk.
The air in the mountains is good and the environment is pleasant. The gaps in the curtains reveal the vast night sky, the clouds and mists flow with the wind, and the stars and the moon appear and disappear.
——Stargazing is also the main project of this homestay.
But Chang Xing was obviously no longer in the mood when he came.
Shen Tingwei asked for a cup of hot milk and orange juice from the bar, and came over: “I’m a little disappointed.”
Chang Kai sat on the reclining chair, turned his head and smiled at him: “No.”
Shen Tingwei handed her the orange juice, she took it and looked at Shen Tingwei: “Are you really okay?”
“It’s okay.” Shen Tingwei sat down on the reclining chair next to her, raised his head and looked at the nebula that seemed to flow above his head.
“What happened? Can’t you tell me?” Chang Xin sighed and took a sip of his drink, “Actually, I didn’t want to inquire about your private affairs, I just felt that you were in a wrong state and was a little worried about you.”
Shen Tingwei didn’t really want to tell others about Lian Jue, mainly because it was inappropriate. He was just an outsider to Lian Jue, but Chang Xing couldn’t be regarded as an outsider to him. She was the only good thing he had here. Friends – Shen Tingwei really can’t hide so many worries by himself. He desperately needs a sharer to share his secrets, his thoughts, and his various difficulties and the trace of happiness that comes from suffering.
The sweet milk poured into his stomach, and the warmth that flowed into his throat failed to ease the unease in his heart. He pursed his lips and did not speak, but in this uneasiness, he almost wanted to reveal everything. impulse.
“My… partner, something happened to him.” Shen Tingwei said to Chang Kai, “I’m a little worried.”
“Ah?” Chang Xin sat up straight, frowning, “Is it important? How is it now?”
Shen Ting didn’t shake his head. The wind in the mountains at night was a little cold on his face. He took a breath and said, “I don’t know, but I just called his assistant, so I shouldn’t be very optimistic.”
“…Then why don’t we go back.” Chang Kai stood up from the reclining chair.
“Don’t be in such a hurry.” Shen Tingwei pulled her jacket sleeve and let her sit down, “It’s the same when I come back tomorrow… He doesn’t need me, someone will help him deal with it, and I’ll go over and cause trouble.”
Chang Kai listened to the second half of his sentence, but he didn’t know what to say for a long time, and it took a while for him to say “ah”, which was counted as a response.
The two didn’t speak anymore.
Shen Ting did not lean back slightly, supported his body with his arms, and looked up at the night sky. The stars in the mountains are very bright, and the constellations can be clearly seen without the aid of external equipment.
Chang Kai also lay down on the reclining chair and looked up with him.
There was a burst of laughter and scattered footsteps at the entrance of the rooftop, and many people came up.
“Don’t say it, the place that the hammer chose is really beautiful.” Someone said.
The other person laughed: “Yes, he hasn’t pondered and played with his motherfucker all day, and sooner or later he will lose all his money.”
A man scolded angrily: “Go away, stop cursing me.” It should be the “small hammer” in their mouths.
“Wow, the photo here must be very beautiful.” A woman trotted up, her heels stepped on the ground making a loud noise, she stood by the roof fence and waved to the people behind, “Chen Shao, take a photo of me. chant.”
Chang Kai said to Shen Tingwei in a low voice, “You still wear high heels when you go up the mountain, warrior.”
Shen Ting didn’t smile and didn’t speak.
The footsteps approached, and a voice that Shen Tingwei sounded inexplicably familiar sounded: “Baby, take off your coat to look good.” The man continued, “Oh yes, pull your skirt up a little. ”
The woman who was photographed bit her lip and scolded, “You are so annoying”, and did so. She pulled up her skirt, raised her thighs and made a few gestures, and asked the man, “Is it alright?”
“Yes, pull the neckline down again, and puff out your chest, yes.”
Seeing that the girl’s posture became more and more unsightly, there was a strange laugh among the group of people who just came up.
Chang Xing couldn’t stand it any longer, turned his face away, flattened his mouth at Shen Tingwei, and covered his mouth with his hand to complain in a low voice, “It’s really immoral.”

Shen Tingwei’s attention was attracted by the voice of the person who spoke just now, he subconsciously turned his head to look, was slapped on the arm by Chang Kai, and said angrily and funny: “Hey, what’s there to see, you bend It looks so energetic…”
Shen Ting didn’t turn his head to cover it, and there were not too many people on the rooftop. His eyes were too obvious, and the opposite side obviously noticed him. Then, the man who was taking pictures with his mobile phone smiled at him with a crooked corner of his mouth.
It’s the man I saw last time at Chen’s house.
Shen Tingwei was stunned for a while, feeling that his visit was too unfortunate, how could he meet him here.
That person’s smile made Shen Tingwei very uncomfortable, so he turned his head, and with the intention of not doing more than one thing, he wanted to pull Chang Kai to leave first. But the other party obviously didn’t plan to miss this opportunity to get in trouble, put down the phone, and walked straight towards Shen Tingwei.
“The genius is about to leave as soon as it gets dark?” Chen Xu blocked the way of Shen Tingwei and Chang Kai, he raised his chin at Chang Kai who was beside Shen Tingwei, and his tone was teasing, “I can’t see it, the action is fast enough. Yes. It’s only been two days since I went in, so you got a new one so quickly?”
Chang Xing was confused, but she could also sense the unkindness of the other person. She said solemnly, “Sir, although I don’t know what you’re talking about…” She tried her best to swallow the genital insult that she almost blurted out. , continued, “But Weiwei and I are good friends, understand? Friends.”
“Friend?” Chen Xu seemed to be very acquainted with Shen Tingwei, put his hand on Shen Tingwei’s shoulder, looked up and down Chang Xin with a nasty look, and let out an uncomfortable chuckle, “Oh, friend.”
Shen Tingwei shook off his arm with a cold face, pulled Chang Kai behind him, and looked directly at the person in front of him: “Is something wrong?”
Chen Xu watched him protect Chang Xing, and laughed even more happily, shook his head, and said, “It’s alright. Why, can’t we chat when it’s alright? It’s not the first time we’ve seen each other. Are you acquainted?”
Chen Xu wrinkled his nose and pretended to be thinking, then shrugged and said, “Ah, after all, if this doesn’t happen to Lian Jue, I have to call you sister-in-law.”
The obvious schadenfreude in the other party’s tone, as well as the annoying temperament exuded from him, made Shen Tingwei, who had always seldom had conflicts with others, unable to hold back his disgust. He automatically drew himself and Lian Jue as a united front, and frowned with an uncontrolled emotion on his face.
“It also depends on whether Lian Jue is willing or not,” he said.
“…What?” Chen Xu didn’t seem to have imagined that the man who looked weak and good-natured would refute his words, and the expression on his face was a little weird.
Shen Tingwei showed a trace of impatience between his eyebrows, as if he wanted to end the topic quickly, and made it clear: “I said, Lian Jue probably doesn’t want to be your brother.”
Chen Xu couldn’t hang on his face a little bit, he was sullen, and the corner of his mouth brought a smile again, but his voice revealed the anger that he couldn’t hide perfectly: “Then I really want to remind you, it’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that he doesn’t deserve it. ”
Shen Tingwei stared at him for a while, suddenly thought he was a little funny, and quickly understood why Lian Jue didn’t take him seriously.
This person provoked again and again, and there were only a few words over and over again. The core idea was just: Lian Jue is an outsider in the Chen family, and he is the rightful ‘Chen family’. Shen Tingwei couldn’t help but think, are the three words “Chen Family” inlaid with gold? With a title, can I inherit the throne or ascend?

Chen Xu saw a sudden smile on his face, his expression stopped, and he said angrily: “What are you laughing at?”
Shen Tingwei almost blurted out his boundless conjecture, and quickly pursed his lips again, with a smile in his eyes, saying nothing.
The woman who took the photo just now may have seen them chatting here for too long. She came over with some dissatisfaction, straightened her hair, and glanced lightly over Chang Xing’s body. Obviously, she didn’t care about the chest and buttocks in front of her. The little girl looked at Shen Tingwei.
She bumped Chen Xu with her elbow, frowning at the man with a smile on his brows and eyes, his tone was a little strange: “Isn’t it, Master Chen, you don’t let the man go?”
Chen Xu was already muttered by Shen Tingwei’s laughter. Hearing this, he immediately put on an expression of eating flies. He subconsciously took two steps back and opened the distance between Shen Tingwei and Shen Tingwei, and said with a twisted expression. : “Bum, I only like women.”
‘In the way’ moved the way, Shen Tingwei dragged Chang Happy and said calmly, “Let’s go.”
With so many eyes staring at him, Chen Xu was worried that he would be misunderstood and his reputation would be ruined by spreading it out.
He looked at Shen Tingwei’s back, and the disgust in his eyes became deeper and deeper. He paused, and said heavily to the person who was leaving: “Go slowly, I’ll find you another day to play, sister-in-law, son.”
