Chapter 28: Pathos

Chen Xu didn't have too much feeling about everyone's envy, because he had been worried that Sister Zhang, who had put down her arrogance yesterday, would come to make trouble today, and if he really came to make trouble, what would he do?

With an anxious mood, Chen Xu waited until the door closed after work, without any accidents, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't want to, when he just walked upstairs and was about to sleep, the door of the club was violently knocked.

In the dark night, a hurried knock on the door directly startled Chen Xu, and he thought that Sister Zhang had sent someone to look for trouble, but when she saw the faces of the people outside, she was stunned for a moment and hurriedly opened the door.

"Brother Bin, in the middle of the night, why are you here? When I went to work today, I heard Li Wang say that you have something at home" Chen Xu said with concern while opening the door.

Liu Haibin, who was full of alcohol, held half a bottle of liquor in his hand, nodded at Chen Xu, and then walked in.

"Brother Bin, what's wrong, why do you drink so much wine?" Chen Xu asked curiously after closing the door.

"Xiao Xu, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, I just don't know where to go, so I'm here at the clubhouse, you go upstairs to rest" Liu Haibin glanced at Chen Xu apologetically, and smiled reluctantly.

"It's okay, anyway, I won't be able to sleep for a while, I'll accompany you" Chen Xu hesitated, thinking of Liu Haibin's help to him since he went to work, and said with sincerity on his face.

"Okay, do you want to take two sips" Liu Haibin waved the wine bottle in his hand.

"No...... No...... I don't drink" Thinking of the things that happened early this morning, Chen Xu's head was like a spinning top, shaking very fast.

Liu Haibin didn't force Chen Xu, and drank it by himself. Chen Xu sat on the side and watched quietly, and the hall seemed very quiet.

I don't know how long it took, when there was not much left of the half bottle of liquor, Liu Haibin put down the bottle, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one and smoked it.

The smoke covered Liu Haibin's face, but Chen Xu could still feel that Liu Haibin was a little tired, sad, and helpless at this moment, and a wave of negative emotions spread on his body.

Although everyone has known each other for a few days, Liu Haibin's bold and righteous behavior still makes Chen Xu very admired, but looking at Liu Haibin in this state, Chen Xu wants to say some comforting words, but he doesn't know where to start

"Xiao Xu, do you know why I don't go home in the middle of the night and drink here?" Suddenly, a faint voice passed through the smoke screen and fell on Chen Xu's ears.

"Brother Bin, you should have encountered something."

"Yes" When he spoke, Liu Haibin waved the smoke in front of him, looking at Chen Xu's eyes was a little complicated, with regret, helplessness, and a trace of trance: "Xiao Xu, now you should know that in the club, whether it is a male masseuse or a female masseuse, in fact, many of us are engaged in some improper transactions."

"Hmm," Chen Xu nodded.

"So, people like you shouldn't stay here, wait until you make some money, it's better to get out of this filthy place as soon as possible, you are different from us, you are still young, and the important thing is that you are very simple and clean"

I don't know if it's an illusion, Chen Xu felt that Liu Haibin looked at him with some envy and longing, but he didn't understand why Liu Haibin looked at him like this, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Bin, what about you? Why did you come here?"

"Hehe, for what, for what, and why" Liu Haibin's words became higher and higher, and when he reached the back, he laughed even more, tilted his neck, and directly poured all the remaining liquor into his mouth, coughing, and said with resentment: "For money"

"Money" Chen Xu chewed on the word lightly in his mouth, but after all, he was young and had been living in the village, so it was really difficult to understand the magic and role of money.

"When I was in my early twenties, I came to this bustling city full of fighting spirit, thinking that one day I would be able to succeed and return to my hometown, but this so-called fighting spirit was tempered by the reality of the metropolis after all, leaving me with nothing left but helplessness and sighs, but"

When he said this, Liu Haibin paused, the expression on his face suddenly became a little more pathetic and sad, and his bloodshot eyes were even more painful, hideous, and remorseful.

Chen Xu didn't bother, just waited quietly.

"However, even so, I still have a fighting spirit, because I have a girlfriend who understands me, knows me, and silently supports me, her name is Ye Yaqian, she is not very beautiful, but she is very attractive, she is kind and gentle"

At this moment, the original hideousness and pain in Liu Haibin's eyes disappeared, replaced by a strong sweetness and love that could not be dissolved, and even when he spoke, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

Looking at Liu Haibin's happy appearance, Chen Xu suddenly felt a little curious, he really wanted to see what kind of person Liu Haibin's girlfriend was, so he said with a smile: "Brother Bin, when, when will I visit your house, let me also see what the woman who can make Brother Bin, show you this happy expression, what kind of woman is like."

"Stinky boy" Chen Xu's joke ushered in Liu Haibin's laughter and scolding.

"Brother Bin, looking at your appearance tonight, is it related to your sister-in-law?" After thinking about it before and after, Chen Xu said with certainty.

"Yes, it has something to do with her" Liu Haibin frowned tightly, didn't speak for a long time, lit a cigarette again with his backhand, took a sharp puff, and continued: "But everything beautiful is ruined in my hands."

"Huh?"

"At that time, our relationship was really very good, although it was poor, and the place where we lived was only a small building, but we still loved each other, and the relationship reached that step, and it was natural to apply for a marriage certificate, that day, when we came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, we were really very happy, although there were only two of us, but I felt that the world was full of happiness, so I found a restaurant that I usually don't go to at all and was ready to celebrate."

"Maybe it's happy, we ordered a lot of food, and a lot of wine, we let go of eating, open drinking, staggering, so comfortable, I drank unconscious, I actually yelled in the restaurant, affecting other tables"

"A man at one of the tables didn't know what Yaqian said, I picked up the wine bottle, and without saying a word, I got up, and there were so many people on the other side that I was knocked to the floor, dizzy, and felt that there were fewer fists that fell on me, only to find that Yaqian actually pounced on me, bearing those blows"

"Then, how is my sister-in-law?" Hearing this, Chen Xu couldn't help but ask anxiously.

A thick puff of smoke spit out of Liu Haibin's mouth, and through this thin smoke, Chen Xu saw an indescribable sourness on Liu Haibin's face, as if what he spit out was not just smoke, but a kind of loneliness, loneliness, melancholy, loss, and a sigh of fate.

"Those people were very heavy, and after the fight, they disappeared directly, but Yaqian fainted covered in blood, and when she was sent to the hospital, the doctor's diagnosis made her feel full of regret, because Yaqian's brain was severely traumatized and became a vegetative person, until now, a few years, there is still no movement"

Speaking of which, Liu Haibin is a good man, but his cheeks are full of tears, and the tears flow silently, but what brings Liu Haibin is silent trauma and sorrow.

"Brother Bin, is there really no way to save my sister-in-law? Western medicine can't work, you can look at Chinese medicine," Chen Xu asked with concern.

"In the past few years, for Yaqian's condition, I have almost run to all the big hospitals in China, your sister-in-law is now living in Binhai People's Hospital, and through Ren Jianming, a doctor from Binhai People's Hospital, I even invited his teacher "Holy Hand of Traditional Chinese Medicine" Sun Yanjie Sun Lao, but unfortunately there is still no good way" Liu Haibin said helplessly.

"Is there no way for Sun Lao?" Chen Xu's brows furrowed, through the previous communication with Sun Lao at Sun Yanjie's house, Chen Xu found that the other party's medical skills were really very clever, but even Sun Yanjie was helpless.

Chen Xu wanted to try it and see if he could be cured, but before he saw the patient, he couldn't jump to conclusions casually, so as not to blow Liu Haibin again.

"Yes, I don't have any hope anymore, I just hope that she can sleep so quietly all the time, but, even so, it still takes a lot of money to maintain Yaqian's current state, and that's why I'm here, because the money comes here quickly."

Liu Haibin laughed self-deprecatingly: "Here, although I sell my voice and soul, I do some dirty things, and I am even looked down upon and called a duck, but I don't care, I don't care how dirty I am, I just hope Yaqian can live, hehe"

"Brother Bin, you ......" Chen Xu wanted to stop Liu Haibin from continuing.

"It's okay, I've always kept these things in my heart, and I told you again today, I feel much more relaxed" Liu Haibin's mood became calmer, and he said lightly: "Xiao Xu, I have no choice, but you are still young, so let's leave here early"

"I'll pay attention, Brother Bin" Chen Xu nodded.

"Okay, let's go on, it's almost dawn, I'll go back first, in the morning, I have to accompany Yaqian, go" Liu Haibin shook his body and walked towards the outside of the clubhouse.

Looking at Liu Haibin's bleak, lonely, and sad back, Chen Xu felt depressed and uncomfortable, after experiencing the death of Old Man Chen and Xiu'er, he understood the pain of losing his relatives, so he finally stopped hesitating, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Brother Bin, I have a way to cure my sister-in-law"

"Hiccup" Liu Haibin burped, as if he hadn't woken up from his previous dizzy state, but he reacted very much to Chen Xu's words, and almost roared out: "What did you say?"

"I have a way to cure my sister-in-law, really, what I said is true" Chen Xu stared at Liu Haibin tightly, his eyes were full of sincerity and seriousness.

"Hehe, Xiao Xu, although Brother Bin, although I drank too much, I was drunk and knew that you were comforting me, it would be good if you had this heart" Liu Haibin squinted his eyes, came back to his senses, smiled at Chen Xu reluctantly, and then walked outside again.
