Chapter Twenty-Six: A Sweet Encounter
"Okay, I'll wait for you...... Drive carefully, see you in a moment. Wu Wanting hung up the phone with a sweet smile on her face.
The conversation lasted nearly half an hour. She returned to the bar and found Ivy sitting motionless, staring at the empty beer bottles on the table.
"Ahem. Wu Wanting coughed hard, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her.
Ivy remained unresponsive, her eyes glued to the bottle, as if it contained the answer she had been looking for.
Wu Wanting held her chin with one hand and muttered vaguely, "I'm in a bit of a hurry, I have to go first." ”
"Huh?" Ivy came back to her senses and met her gaze, "what did you say?"
"My boyfriend is coming over to pick me up now, you...... It's okay to go home by yourself, right?" Wu Wanting looked at her absently.
"You're going to abandon me, a guy who is heavy on sex and light on friends. Ivy said bitterly.
"Oh, don't say such abusive words, my boyfriend is a busy man, so he finally found time to spend time with me tonight. Wu Wanting grinned the corners of her mouth with a flattering expression.
Ivy raised her right hand, waved it a few times in the direction of the door, and muttered, "Go, go." ”
Wu Wanting propped her hands on the table, stared at her face and said, "Your face is a little red, haven't you drunk too much?"
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go, I can be alone and quiet. Ivy tilted her face to the side. She didn't want to leave, Mu Tianze was still here, and maybe there was a chance to meet him.
Wu Wanting pursed her lips and made a "pop" sound. "Then I'm leaving, and you should go home early. I've already paid the bill, you stop drinking, be careful of getting drunk. ”
As soon as she walked a few steps, she turned back again, leaned down and whispered in Ivy's ear: "If a man comes to talk, don't pick up the stubble, and tell him coldly that your boyfriend will come soon." There are always some ill-intentioned people in this kind of place. ”
"Long-winded, I won't deal with strange men. Let's go, you. Ivy said dryly.
After 9 o'clock, the nightlife of Zhuhai and Macao slowly kicked off.
The number of customers in the bar increased one after another, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke, making it impossible to breathe freely.
Ivy's throat was dry from second-hand smoke and she remembered the interview she had done at the beginning of the year. At that time, a new anti-smoking ordinance was announced, and smoking was prohibited in all indoor public places. Although the new regulations have increased the penalties, they have had little effect.
She interviewed several bars and restaurants, and the owners vowed to follow the rules when they faced the camera, but in fact they turned a blind eye to the customers.
A five-member band appeared on the stage in the center of the bar. The lights in the bar were dimmed, and only the musicians on stage were illuminated by the spotlights overhead.
Blues music played by piano, saxophone, guitar, bass and drum kit rings in your ears.
Looking around, the red men and green women had ambiguous eyes, talking and laughing.
Hmph, hormone-infested world. Ivy snorted disdainfully in her heart.
She took another bottle of beer from the ice bucket and drank it into her stomach one gulp after another, to the sad music.
After drinking two bottles of beer, the person is in a slightly drunken state. She propped her head in one hand, and her mind couldn't stop thinking about it. He...... What are you doing at the moment, eating at a restaurant, or have you left?
It wasn't long before five empty beer bottles lined up on the table. She took a deep breath, her head sinking a little, and drunkenness was slowly coming at her.
Ivy wasn't a drunken person, but today's situation is different. Drinking on an empty stomach, coupled with a low mood, she got drunk.
A baby-faced waiter came up with a tray and placed a baby pink cocktail in front of Ivy.
"I didn't order this. Ivy shook her head.
The waiter's eyes smiled into a slit, and he flattened his right hand and pointed in the direction of two o'clock for her, "Miss, that gentleman ordered the wine for you." Our most popular cocktail, called Sweet Encounter, is made with gin, lemon juice, pomegranate syrup and milk. Sweet and sour, very delicious. ”
Ivy followed his hand and looked at her, two tables away from her, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, raising his wine glass and nodding and smiling at her.
A good-looking young woman, sitting alone in a bar and drinking, is indeed easy to attract unwanted attention.
A wave of disgust welled up in her heart, and Ivy waved her hand, "Take it, I won't drink it." As she opened her mouth to speak, she felt her tongue stiffen.
"Sorry to interrupt. The waiter took back the cup of "Sweet Encounter" and walked away in a daze.
As her head grew dizzy, Ivy scrambled to her feet as she strapped her backpack and got out of here.
Is she leaving? J put down his glass and followed.
