Chapter 1: Truth or Dare? (Revised)
One
Truth or Dare?
Qiao Mosheng was bent on dying, but he still had a few unfulfilled wishes before he died.
She first used the money that her father left for herself from selling the house to buy a favorite car, a red and somewhat angry Regal, the price is not expensive, but it is enough to look happy. Then Qiao Mosheng found a suitable location on the coast and opened a quite stylish café, the store only sells handmade coffee, which is made by Qiao Mosheng himself, and the area of the store is not large, only six small tables, a few sofa seats, and the rest are two or three bar chairs in front of the bar, and there is a five-layer black and wooden bookshelf behind the bar that is three meters long and two meters high, which is full of Qiao Mosheng's favorite books accumulated over the years.
Every morning, when I remove the lock and open the glass door of the café, I am greeted by the blue ocean and the soft light of the rising sun, looking at the waves of fine golden light in front of me, even Qiao Mosheng, who feels that life is bleak and hopeless, will squint and unconsciously curl the corners of his mouth when facing this picture.
Qiao Mosheng crossed her arms and stretched out, then patted the dust on her hands, turned back to the back of the bar, took out the easel and paint, and placed them not far from the door of the store, after carefully adjusting the angle and height of the easel, she turned around and pulled out a stool from behind the bar and sat down.
The rest is to find a beautiful 419.
Qiao Mosheng used the brush in her hand to mix the colorful paints on the palette, the end of the last relationship made her no longer have the heart to fall in love with this kind of thing, seven years of time almost exhausted all her ability to love and be loved, she was too tired, until numbness, although it has been two years, but until now, she will still avoid the people around her intentionally or unintentionally, she is afraid, afraid that getting close to people will give birth to those troubled and unknown feelings, she doesn't want to, and she has no intention of messing with, since this is the case, it's better to hide.
But after a long time, she became more and more withdrawn, and she began to feel that life was boring, no, as early as a few months ago, she suddenly came up with the idea of finding someone for a one-night stand, Qiao Mosheng thought, since there is no one who can accompany her for a lifetime and grow old together, then simply, just find a pleasing eye to comfort each other for a night, after dawn, return to their respective life tracks, no one knows anyone, no one needs to know anyone, simple, and relieve boredom, it is also her last wish.
She was still thinking about it in her heart, the paintbrush in her hand was dipped in the lustful paint and smeared on the drawing paper, she almost painted a picture every day since the store opened, but the painting was all the same content, that is, the sea of brilliance in front of her, of course, not only sunny days, rainy weather is also as usual, in short, no matter what the weather, the first thing Qiao Mosheng does every day when he opens the door of the store is not cleaning, not preparing materials, but painting. There are several paintings scattered on the walls of the store, all of which are from Qiao Mosheng's pen, and they are undoubtedly all similar in content: sea, sunshine; sea, cloudy; Sea, lightning.
In the afternoon, Qiao Mosheng sent off the last table of guests, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, five twenty.
She scattered her long burgundy hair, which was originally tied at the back of her head, flipped the small wooden board with the word open hanging on the front door to closed, pulled down half of the scroll door, put on makeup, and picked up a book of essays on the bookshelf behind the bar, and then locked the door and got on the bus.
Today, Tuesday, is the day to go on a hunt.
Qiao Mosheng has been waiting at the bar for two months, from the beginning of almost every day, it can be seen that the results are really unsatisfactory, and then changed to go three times a week, every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, she will close the door early, simply clean up and sit in this bar. Qiao Mosheng's bar is actually very good compared to those messy places, first of all, the music here is not noisy, always playing some jazz pure music, this is the first reason why Qiao Mosheng chose here, secondly, the people here look good, when a few people gather at a table, the conversation is not loud, Qiao Mosheng doesn't want to be with himself 419 is a woman who will shout insults on the street, and then later, that is, the decoration here is worthy of Qiao Mosheng's eyes.
Just to find a one-night stand, she really worked hard, thinking of this, she pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly, picked up the whiskey in front of her and took a sip.
Qiao Mosheng turned over her wrist and looked at her watch, she had been sitting here for more than two hours, and it seemed that she had no harvest tonight, she couldn't help but be a little discouraged, just read the book and leave, she thought so, and continued to flip through the collection of essays in her hand.
She has always been quite confident in her appearance and figure, how to say that she is also 172 tall, with long legs and a thin waist, although there is no def, but it is not a flat body, as for the face, thin lips and teeth, high nose bridge, eyes are not big or small, but a little slender, someone once said that her eyes look like the eyes of characters in the anime, oh, don't get me wrong, it's not the kind of cute girl's big eyes, but the eyes of the male protagonist in the anime, slender, sharp eyes and a little uninhibited, Qiao Mosheng is quite satisfied with this description, the only regret, these good-looking eyes are short-sighted, but Qiao Mosheng rarely wears glasses outside, especially in bars, for the sake of eye makeup, she wears colorless invisibility before going out.
In fact, it's not that no one has come to talk to her these days, but it's just that the people who come to talk are either men or some girls who are dressed like men, not a little with a good face, but she just makes a ruffian look, which makes Qiao Mosheng feel a little uncomfortable, although she has no prejudice against those girls, but she definitely doesn't want to appear in the same bed with such girls. Otherwise, there are a few people who can't get into the eye, and they don't have the self-knowledge to talk, although Qiao Mosheng's face control is not so powerful, but the minimum standard has to be pleasing to the eye, not to mention that he is looking for 419, not looking for a funny partner, not looking for a beauty, thanks to it!
"Hey, can I sit here?" A clear voice interrupted her.
Qiao Mosheng raised his head from the book, standing in front of him was a girl who looked sunny and outgoing, with long chestnut hair lazily draped over her shoulders, her face was wearing light makeup, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were flickering looking at herself, smiling and waiting for an answer, I have to say that this girl is a beauty, Qiao Mosheng squinted and glanced behind her, and asked:
"Alone?"
"Of course." The girl raised her eyebrows in slight surprise,
"Please." Qiao Mosheng thought about it, but still responded, and then lowered his head and continued to flip through the book in his hand.
"I see that you often come alone, make friends?" Seeing that Qiao Mosheng didn't intend to pay attention to her meaning, the girl took the lead in speaking,
Qiao Mosheng's fingers slid lightly to turn the page of the book, and at the same time stretched out his other hand to pick up the cup and take a sip of wine, but did not reply to the other party.
The girl on the other side didn't seem to mind, and continued to say to herself:
"I've been here many times recently, and I've seen you almost every time, at the same time, in the same location, oh, by the way, my name is Tang Wei."
Qiao Mosheng finally closed the book, leaned forward slightly with his elbows on the edge of the table, squinted at the smiling face full of youthful vitality on the other side, and the corners of his mouth provoked a trace of playful and disdainful arc, and after a while, the thin lips moved up and down, and spit out three words,
"Big adventure?"
During her speech, her eyes also gestured in one direction, Tang Wei turned her head and followed Qiao Mosheng's gaze to look at a table of men and women not far behind her, they were covering their mouths and looking at this side with a smile, Tang Wei frowned at first, and then turned her head around, she only felt a heat on her face, extremely embarrassed, Tang Wei pursed her lips and stopped talking, with endless chagrin on her face, but even so, she didn't get up and leave directly. Qiao Mosheng sat opposite and looked at her expressions, and couldn't help but feel funny, thinking that this girl was quite interesting, and if someone else was exposed, even if she didn't leave immediately, she would be cheeky and continue to stalk, unlike her, who just sat opposite her so quietly, without saying a word. Seeing that Tang Wei didn't mean to speak again for a while, Qiao Mosheng didn't say anything, and reopened the collection of essays with one hand on his forehead and looked at it casually.
"That" After a short time, Tang Wei suddenly spoke, making Qiao Mosheng subconsciously look up at the other party, and this time he just found that Tang Wei's original gaze was immediately glanced away after meeting his eyes.
"What?" Seeing this, Qiao Mosheng also moved his gaze back to the book in his hand, and asked lightly while maintaining a posture of supporting his head,
"It's true" Tang Wei hesitated for a long time and whispered, while speaking, she felt that her face was already red and hot, but she didn't know when she looked elsewhere, reflecting the light above the table, all her expressions and demeanor were seen at a glance by Qiao Mosheng, who looked up again.
Qiao Mosheng was stunned after hearing what she said, closed the book in her hand with a "snap", called the waiter and ordered another glass of whiskey and pushed it in front of Tang Wei, then bent her good-looking eyes, and raised her wine glass to Tang Wei, who was a little stunned.
"Hello, my name is Qiao Mosheng." ——
