sequence

The hustle and bustle of the ten-mile ocean, the bright lights, and the whistle of the cruise ship in the distance, all of which were drowned out by the sound of the piano played by the girls in the Outer Harbour Hotel.

But after an hour, this party finally came to an end. The celebrities in the dining room began to leave, and the huge hall crowd dispersed, some with their female companions in the car, and some returned to their rooms in the hotel.

After a while, the air was filled with the smell of liquor, and a violinist and a piano girl were playing the last piece on the round stage. The girl is of mixed Chinese and French descent, with a white complexion, blue eyes, long golden hair draped around her waist, and a slit cheongsam, which does not violate the harmony at all, but has an indescribable style.

The man with a black cane walked across the round platform, their eyes met each other, as if triggered by an electric current, and the girl blinked her right eye with blue eyes while pressing the keys fluently, watching the man in a black suit go upstairs.

The rooms of the Outer Harbour Hotel are heated and elegantly furnished, but because most of the people who come and go are foreigners, there is a large Simmons bed on the right, and a white silk tent is hung on four copper pillars. In front of the red velvet sofa is a telephone, as well as fruits and snacks for guests.

He opened the curtain of the south window, and before she had time to turn on the light, the light and shadow outside the south window shone on the Simmons bed, which looked soft and comfortable, intertwined with the dark shadow.

His eyes reflected the neon night scene of the outer harbor wharf, car lights, street lamps, colorful signboards, all kinds of prosperity. I don't know how long later, he turned around and saw her looking at the small cake prepared by the restaurant, wanting to eat it or not, salivating, and said, "You can eat it if you want." ”

With a smile on her face, she said "thank you" and took a small bite from the plate, which was dotted with a sparkling cherry.

There was a pot of hot water on the high cabinet, he poured a glass, and he didn't know how many glasses of wine he drank before the party, and when he drank the white water, the wine was on his head, and he felt more and more swollen, he had a good amount of wine, but he also knew that he had accompanied those officialdom to drink.

"This Western-style dim sum is really so delicious? It's not as delicious as the bean cake in my hometown. ”

The blue-white lamp on the coffee table was shining yellow, her pearl earrings were in harmony with her white skin, she ate fast, but her eyes were staring at the front blankly, hearing him say this, she said disapprovingly: "Everyone has their own love, Counselor Chen stayed abroad because he was used to eating Western things before he felt that these things were tasteless." And a native bun like me, who has never left a foreigner, naturally prefers foreigners. ”

She sent it into her mouth one by one, articulately, and by the time she had finished saying this, the little cake had already been wiped out. The broken hair on the left was in front of her, and she didn't have time to pull it up.

The carpet of the room was soft and thick, and when he walked up to her, the golden ring flashed before her eyes, barely even the temperature of his fingers, and he pulled up the lock of broken hair for her—her cheeks flushed in the full light, just like his. Her dark and sensitive eyes looked at him differently, her face slightly sideways, and she slanted down at the big hand that was still in the air.

He tightened his grip on the cane in his right hand and withdrew it. He folded his hands on the cane and said: "I have been taught strictly since I was a child, and my father also used the old Chinese method to discipline me, so I stayed abroad at that time, and I didn't think that foreigners' things were very good." You're a guy who likes something really new, I guess, probably because you grew up in a free family. ”

She looked into his eyes, she had been working by his side for six years, she didn't know why her back was cold at the moment, she said: "You are worthy of being a confidant appointed by Tian Supervisor, I really admire it, and I have to learn more from you in the future." ”

She stood up and sat down on the couch. At this time, the doorbell rang, the waiter of the hotel pushed the dining cart in, and the waiter opened the plate, those plates of Chinese food, are all home-cooked food in the south, no wonder there is an inexplicable familiar and friendly taste as soon as the door is opened.

He sat opposite, put his cane on the side, his chopsticks stood on the coffee table, he picked up a piece of vinegar fish, and the fragrance spread everywhere. She swallowed silently.

He said while eating: "I've been here for a month, I don't know the taste of food, just now I specially asked the southern chef of the restaurant to make these dishes, well, it's still good hometown food." ”

She had just eaten a small cake, but her stomach had been defeated when she smelled the familiar taste of hometown in front of her.

"Eat fast. ”

A bowl of rice was pushed in front of her, and she took the bowl and scooped a few spoonfuls of tofu with a soup spoon, and soon, a bowl of rice bottomed out.

In the past few days, she has seen all kinds of people in a dress, although she has eaten enough every time, but she always feels that she does not fill her stomach, this time she only feels that her stomach is really swollen, and even the belt on the dress is obviously strained.

As night fell, the outer harbor was getting more and more lively, and the faint sound of dancers singing in the dance hall on the street next door could be heard.

After eating the hometown meal, the tea and the rest of the meal were full and loose, she said a few words of laughter, and he also echoed, and after a few words, they talked about it.

During the conversation, he seemed to joke and asked, "I know you are from the south like me, but I don't know where you are from?"

Her six years of work experience have shaped her into a person with a keen ability to read words and feelings. She sensed a hidden and dangerous temptation in his eyes, but the man in front of her smiled at her calmly.

She smiled, not wanting to hide: "I'm from Anzhen." ”

He frowned, and the next second said with a surprised expression: "Such a coincidence, my home is in Fulin." When I was a child, my father took me to Anzhen, which is commonly known as the land of fish and rice. As I recall, it was just over an hour's drive. ”

She nodded and said, "yes." This time, she didn't see anything in his eyes, but it made her heart skip a beat.

He suddenly threw his head back on the sofa, said "dizzy" in his mouth, and held his forehead.

She said, "Staff officer, would you like to get you some medicine?"

His head moved slightly. She stood up and called the people in the lobby of the hotel, reported the room number, and asked her to bring the sobering pills.

She handed over a glass of water, and he took it, and suddenly asked, "Have we met somewhere?"

The man's usual deep and sharp eyes disappeared.

She shook her head and smiled: "Staff Officer Chen is a child of a family, and I am an old-fashioned family in a small place, and we are not related, how can we meet?"

"Maybe what if we have friends we know together?"

She said resolutely: "No way. ”

He laughed to himself: "I'm joking with you, too." ”

He immediately clapped his legs and stood up, the doorbell rang, and the hotel's service was fast.

She brought him the medicine, but he turned around and picked up his cane, left the room, and said, "Tomorrow is a difficult task, you rest early." ”

She agreed. His staff made a dull noise on the carpet, and he stopped at the door, closed it, and closed it without looking back. The room finally fell silent, and she was still standing there, clearly hearing her own heartbeat.

She had a phone in her hand, she grabbed the receiver, held it coldly in her hand, the dial only turned once, she stopped there, and finally put the phone in its place. A passage came to mind.

- Chen Yeping Chengfushen, don't contact me when you arrive in the outer harbor, just remember what I told you.

The wall clock rang a little, and it was already two o'clock. It was rainy on the road outside, she buttoned the last button, took out the soft satin shoes in the suitcase, opened the door, and there were a few wall lamps in the corridor, and there was no one quietly.

She found a phone booth outside the hotel, hesitated, and finally dialed the number. She put the earpiece to her ear, which rang a few times, and saw that there were only a few foreign bartenders outside the pavilion, and the road was empty. There was a waiting sound on the phone, she was scared, and she didn't know why, she stayed in Waigang for a month to accompany Chen Yeping during the day, and no matter how comfortable the bed she slept in at night, she only felt anxious, like someone choking her neck.

Outside the hotel there was a huge clock on it, and now the hands pointed to half past two—not tomorrow, but six hours later.

She knew that a big change was coming, and if it worked, she would be freed, and the person on the phone—the last person she could rely on and trust in the world.

Thinking about it, I don't know when the phone went through. A strange man inside spoke, "Duty room, who are you looking for?"

"Ten thousand returns. ”

"You wait. ”

After a noisy transfer on the phone, a clear voice came out, "Hey, who?" For some reason, most of her uneasy emotions when she heard this voice were immediately soothed.

"Hey, hey?"

She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say, and she clearly said that she didn't call him, but she had no credit. She bit her lower lip and decided to hang up without saying anything—the man's voice inside "heyed" twice, and finally, after a few seconds of silence, called her name.

"Yaoqin. ”

She held the handset and paused. The people inside also stopped talking, and there were no lines to each other.

I don't know how long this lasted, but the man on the phone heard her sobbing and asked suspiciously, "Hey, what's wrong with you?

She didn't answer.

In the end, the man was anxious, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing him call her by this name, tears didn't seem to flow from her eyes, and she couldn't wipe them away. She mumbled, "I'm fine." I had a stomach ache, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, I couldn't find anyone to talk to, I only knew your office number, so I called you. ”

For a long time, on the other side of the phone, "I'm sorry." ”

She wiped away her tears, was a little surprised by this apology, and shook her head: "I should say I'm sorry, I'll hang up the phone." ”

Obviously, it was a critical day, and she had to interrupt his plan for no reason.

She hung up with her decision, and she didn't hear what the person on the phone was going to say.

When she returned to her room, she lay on the bed, and the double Simmons bed looked like it was stuck in a pile of cotton. The cool silk bedding made her curl up in the quilt, the moonlight shone on the side of the pillow, she looked over, and her cheeks were cold and wet, it was her sweat. The stomach pain made her struggle in bed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She endured it, and finally struggled to get up, walked to the counter table and poured a glass of water.

"Click".

The wall clock shows that it is now 3:35. There was the sound of the door opening outside, and the footsteps were noisy, as if it were two people. She looked out of the cat's eye.

Room 3615, where Chen Ye lived, opened a crack in the door, and a dark white light came out of it.

Strange to her, she carefully turned the doorknob and took two steps, and was about to slam on the door to speak, but unexpectedly stepped on a piece of clothing, and looked down to see that it was a pair of women's underwear......

Looking through the crack in the door, there were occasional gasps of people and the voice of a woman inside.

She stepped back silently.

She had been the man's secretary for six years, and she was used to seeing different women with him—but this was the first time she had ever seen something like this.

She retreated to the room at a loss, leaning against the door, clutching her chest, only to feel her face unconsciously hot. She noticed the suitcase under the hanger, his clothes were all with hers, and he only took his bag.

Her eyes widened suddenly, staring at the leather suitcase, on which a dark green cheongsam was neatly stacked. And his navy blue suit is placed under the cheongsam.

A thought expanded in her mind and cleared her mind. She took a step, a glimmer of light in the crack in the door, and the room was dim.

At the bottom of the suitcase was a compartment with a pistol inside.

She listened to the movement in the room, and then looked at the suitcase—was it all going to be over? The man was going to die sooner or later.

But there are so many people in the hotel, as soon as the gunshots are fired, the security guards will come up, and the surrounding area will suddenly fall into panic.

She couldn't escape.

She wore her hotel slippers, opened the door, and looked at the room across from her to see what was only visible. The quilt hung messily in the corner of the bed, and a long black dress fell on the floor...... She suddenly remembered that she was a half-race girl who played the piano at the ball, wearing the same black dress.

At this moment, a woman's shrill cry was heard from inside. She immediately turned around and closed the door, hiding behind it to take a deep breath.

In the interweaving of sweat and warmth, his breathing was so calm, his fingers passed through the wavy curls of the woman's blonde hair, the smell of French perfume on the tip of his nose, he coveted the seductive and leisurely body fragrance of the woman, and the moonlight shone on her fair and translucent skin. The tip of his nose touched her earlobe, soft gnawing, he went all the way down the delicate and smooth skin, the woman's body swayed slightly upward, his fingertips caressed his back hard, and in the entanglement, he raised his head.

The girl said in a non-standard pronunciation, "I'm sorry, am I pushing too hard?"

The girl looked at the door, surprised that her high heels had faded to her ankles, and pushed the door but did not close it.

“SORRY。 The girl said with a little apologies.

And as soon as she finished speaking, she fell deep into the pillow again, and kissed her hard, followed by her chin, neck, and all the way down the sucking Yun was so hot, until the girl suddenly screamed because of the pain.

The red tooth marks on his collarbone, the fishy sweet smell between his teeth, and after a while, he propped himself up. There were tears in the girl's eyes, and he was about to get out of bed, when the girl turned over and wrapped a hand around him, stirring her right eyebrow, and there was a spark in her eyes, which touched her desire.

"Do you want to leave if I get hurt?"

Looking out from the open curtains, the black sky gradually turned blue, and the moon became lighter and lighter.

Somehow, I was anxiously awake in the middle of the night, just lying on the bed, my eyes widening, watching the light outside getting brighter and brighter. I thought it would be like this until the morning sun came out, but I didn't expect to fall asleep unconsciously.

When she woke up again, it was bright and it was a strong light shining into her eyes. She moved slightly, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and the moment she opened her eyes, she was still still in her own dream, her cheeks still had undried tears, and her pillow was dizzy and wet.

It wasn't a pretty dream, but it was something she had experienced firsthand before.

That scene stopped in my mind, and I pressed the speed button, but I could always touch the most painful place in my heart.

She sat on the bed, her hands folded around her legs, her head resting on her knees, watching the rising sun outside. He still recited the names he kept calling in his dreams.

The wall clock struck, and it was eight o'clock.
