Chapter Seventy-Five: The Fig Leaf for Me and Chen Bailu
Generally speaking, after being shuanggui, they will be temporarily lost for a few days to half a month, and at most two months. Chen Bailu's biological father was shuanggui half a month ago, and there should be news now.
I hesitated, not knowing whether to continue asking, after all, this is Chen Bailu's family matter. I'm not an outsider to get involved too much.
Chen Bailu didn't seem to want to continue. After seeing through this, I smiled awkwardly and comforted her: "Don't worry, wait for the news"
Chen Bailu reluctantly smiled and was silent.
To be honest, I can't understand why Chen Bailu is like this. In her mouth, her biological father is obviously a king and eight calves who should kill a thousand knives, and she can't hate it, how can it be like this now
But what made me even more unexpected was that in the next two or three days, Chen Bailu was always absent-minded, always distracted no matter what she did, and sometimes when she was eating, she was stunned with chopsticks, and she didn't speak, looking ahead with empty eyes. Until I shook my palms in front of her eyes. She came to her senses, and when I asked her what was wrong, she said she was okay and didn't care about her
That night, I drove her back after work. In the car, she suddenly turned to me and said, "Go get a drink."
I didn't answer, turned around and drove towards the bar
On this day, she was drunk at the bar, and I didn't drink a drip.
When I drove her home, the car was mixed with the smell of various drinks, and she lay in the back seat and fell asleep. When I got to her house, I carried her to the bedroom and took off her dirty coat. After doing all this, I sat next to me and watched the moonlight shine on the white sheets, and lit a cigarette for myself. As I expected, she really cared about her biological father's shuanggui, no matter how much she hated that father. But the reality is that the blood relationship between them can never be severed.
In her sleep, she was talking in her sleep, her brows furrowed at times. Sometimes stretched.
From that day on, she would go out to drink every night, sometimes not outside, so I was at her house and let me accompany her to drink. After drinking too much, she became drunk, so I sat on the sofa and watched her quietly, feeling very distressed and pitiful. Once at home, she stripped herself off and only left her underwear, knelt on my lap, hugged my head, her face was crimson and full of wine, and she hiccuped me with a very prodigal and cheap expression on her face.
Looking at Chen Bailu, who had been paralyzed by alcohol, I grabbed her waist, threw her on the sofa, and scolded angrily: "Enough"
My sudden anger made Chen Bailu stunned, and then he got up and stood on the sofa, pointed at my nose condescendingly, and called me by name: "Qi Tian"
I also frowned, and she sneered on her face: "Don't think I don't know, you've been thinking about me since the first time you saw me."
"You" I was angry and slapped me, but looking at Chen Bailu in front of me, I could only slap myself in the face in the end.
Chen Bailu snorted coldly, sat on the back of the sofa, stretched out a ** in front of me, hooked his toes and had a slutty expression: "You little bastard, you have a thief's heart but not a thief's guts, now I'm in front of you, come on"
I was silent, and she continued to roar loudly: "Now my aunt and grandmother don't dare to come in front of you, I really misjudged you, you are a eunuch without seeds"
Chen Bailu's words made my chest burn with monstrous anger, I stood up suddenly, picked up the wine bottle next to me and poured half a bottle of wine, wiped my mouth and rushed up to pick up Chen Bailu, kicked open the bedroom door, and threw her on the big bed from afar, Chen Bailu's frightened face was pale, and the expression just now all turned into horror, I pressed her on the bed, lowered my head and bit her charming red lips.
Just when I was stimulated by Chen Bailu's words to lose my mind and bite her lip, suddenly, a salty smell filled my mouth, I frowned, and looked at Chen Bailu under me, it turned out that I don't know when, her eyes flashed with tears, but her face was already full of tears.
I panicked all of a sudden, I didn't know what to do, and all the impulses I had just now turned into regret.
When Chen Bailu saw me let go of her, she began to beat me, crying while beating, I couldn't stand her, and I didn't know where I got the courage, so I hugged her tightly, hugged her deeply in my arms and said, "I don't want to see you spoil yourself." ”
Chen Bailu cried even more, but slowly quieted down in my arms.
She sobbed and fell asleep, and I lay in bed holding her, not knowing whether to stay or leave now. I asked her to pilllow one of my arms and light a cigarette with the other, and took a puff and spit it out, full of melancholy.
Chen Bailu drank too much every day because of her father's shuanggui affairs, but I couldn't help at all, I stood and talked without back pain and said that people were ruining themselves, but how did I know the bitterness in her heart Looking back at Chen Bailu on the pillow, I couldn't help but recall the relationship between the two of us, so I thought about it and I smiled bitterly, what am I by her side, the secretary's little white-faced boyfriend is probably not counted, at most he is a driver-like little follower, and he follows others with a dead face.
I thought about it a lot that night, and before she woke up in the morning, I quietly left her house and left a note on the table to stop drinking
I don't know if Chen Bailu saw the note, but she really didn't drink anymore, she went to and from work on time every day, but her face was getting worse and worse day by day, and the original calm and calm on her face became sad day by day, and her heart was heavy.
One day, her stepfather, Lao Zhang, as she called it, came to see her. She simply entertained her twice, then hid in her office and did not come out. After Lao Zhang walked around the company, he came to the outside of the office, called me over and asked me to help set up his drawing board, I did so, and then he asked me to hold his palette next to him, and he looked at Chen Bailu inside through the frosted glass, and painted an oil painting for her.
Under his pen, Chen Bailu's frowning and preoccupied imagination jumped on the page, and the details were extremely expressive.
When he was done, he took out his seal, put it on it, and said to me, "Give it to her." ”
After saying that, Chen Bailu's stepfather put away his bags, left only one painting and left.
I sat in place and looked at this oil painting, smiling bitterly in my heart, my mother left India at a critical time, my stepfather couldn't help much, Ye Linglong and Ye Xiuli's two female cousins came to make trouble again, Chen Bailu was much more bitter than I imagined
I took the painting to Chen Bailu's office, unfolded it in front of her, and told her that it was painted by Lao Zhang for you, and let me give it to you.
"Oh" Chen Bailu let out a casual oh, and then said to me, "Throw it for me." ”
"You" I was angry, but looking at her indifferent face, I knew that she was now cynical about all foreign things. I simply put the painting away by myself, and after work in the evening, I found a place to frame it, framed it, and took it home and hung it on the wall.
Lying on the bed at night looking at Chen Bailu's oil painting, I smoked for half the night and threw the cigarette butts on the ground.
Probably just entered Layue, one day Chen Bailu suddenly came to me and asked me to accompany her out. I thought she had changed sex, and I excitedly told her on the road that you don't think too much, look away. Chen Bailu ignored me, but she didn't interrupt me. I simply said everything I wanted to say to her during this time, and I almost didn't confess
She took me to many places, but they were all places to eat, drink and have fun, in the evening she rented a tandem bicycle, and the two of us rode bicycles around Kangping Road, I have been to Shanghai for so many years, I really haven't been here, I don't know what to see here.
Riding a bicycle, she said to me for the first time that I didn't know: "The really powerful people live around here." Skyscrapers like Lujiazui and Xujiahui, high-rise mansions, which sound so expensive and expensive, are only a hundred thousand square meters, and they are all for entrepreneurs and elites from all over the world. Hehe, even Guo Xiaosi, who writes books, can buy a set, nothing unusual"
I didn't speak, she said to me softly: "Qi Tian, if you set your goal on Lujiazui Xujiahui, you can become an unknown entrepreneur in your life at most, maybe you can indeed make a little money with your talent, but you can't live the life you really want, run to Sheshan to buy a so-called broad-view mansion, but that is the unjust boss is willing to buy, you look around, this is the real core, is the real right." ”
I was taken aback by Chen Bailu's words, although I had never seen the world, I finally knew what was near Kangping Road.
Riding a bicycle, Chen Bailu said a lot to me, in the evening the two of us returned the bicycle, found a small restaurant, after sitting in Chen Bailu said to me a very funny thing: "Invite me to have a meal"
I said that you can't be here for dinner, it's too shabby, and I said that I was going to leave.
Chen Bailu insisted on staying, I had no choice but to bring her the greasy menu, she didn't order more, just two dishes and one soup.
During the meal, I asked her why she said that, and she pinned the hair that was scattered from her sideburns to the back of her head: "You can say what you want, how can there be so many whys." ”
I ate deflated and stuffy.
When she drove back, she seemed a little tired after a day of running, nestled in the co-pilot, staring out the window with empty eyes, and did not speak. When I got downstairs to her house, she turned to look at me: "I want to drink tonight, you can come up and accompany me"
I was stunned that she hadn't invited me to her house since that unpleasant time because of her drinking.
Seeing me in a daze, she smiled and said, "Just this time, I won't drink it again after drinking it today." ”
I nodded, turned off the car, pulled the handbrake, pushed the door and followed her home, and when I was in the elevator, she took the initiative to carry my arm. I don't know why, but I always feel like something is going to happen tonight.
After arriving at her house, Chen Bailu didn't seem to be in a hurry, first asked me to take out a bottle of good wine from the deepest part of the wine cabinet and pour it into the wine decanter for a while, and she went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when she came out, she said to me while wiping her wet hair: "After running for a day, you can also go and wash it, I have prepared a towel and bathrobe for you"
I didn't hesitate and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When I came out, Chen Bailu turned off all the lights at home and lit two candles on the dining table, which were not the white wax commonly used in Western food, but the red wax commonly used in our country for happy events. The candlelight flickered, shining on Chen Bailu's fair face, the two glasses of wine had been poured, after I sat down, Chen Bailu handed me the wine glass, and said, "Cheers"
Then I drank most of the glass at once, and I didn't hesitate to drink as much as she did.
The two of us chatted and drank, and after drinking most of the wine in the decanter, she suddenly said to me, "Qi Tian, you owe me a life." ”
"Ah" I was stunned, Chen Bailu blushed and glanced at me: "Ah what, you really owe me a life." ”
I laughed and said, "So how can I pay it back?" ”
Chen Bailu pursed her lips and hesitated, and said, "Kiss me." ”
I stood up and kissed her on the lips across the table, and she said, "Not enough." ”
I kissed it again and she continued: "Not enough"
The alcohol made my head dizzy, and I didn't understand what she meant, so I kissed it again, but this time she held my head and never let go. Serve Guang Chi to carry.
As the night wore on, the red candle on the table burned out, and finally flickered out, and the room was plunged into pitch black, but this darkness just became a fig leaf between her and me.
