I'm drinking a little bit violently today, I feel crooked when I look at things, and I'm even more unsteady when I walk. In order to maintain his balance, when he walked to the door of the bar with a huge ginkgo tree at the door, he was sweating profusely.
When I was passing by just now, I vaguely saw a familiar figure sitting on a loose seat by the river, the light was shining on him brightly and dimly, and the side face was exactly the same as He Liancheng.
Because Meng Fankun has been following me, I have drunk a lot, and my brain is not flexible enough, and I suddenly came back to my senses after walking to the bridge just now, and the person sitting under the big tree with his back to me is He Liancheng. So he found a lame reason to take Meng Fankun away and walked over by himself.
At this time, the table was empty, except for a lamp hanging on it that was still flickering, as if someone had just left. I stopped, rubbed my eyes, and didn't know if what I saw was a drunken shadow or an illusion.
I shook my head in disappointment, I missed him more and more recently, and I was almost stunned, and every time I saw a similar back, I hated to run over to see the face.
At this time, Meng Fankun had already come over, holding a box of cigarettes and a lighter in his hand, handed it over and asked, "Sister Lin, are you looking for someone?" β
"I think I've mistaken someone." I didn't explain much and went back to the bar with him.
Zheng Haitao and the others were all drunk, Yu Miao and Xu Wanyun were fighting for the microphone, their little faces were flushed, and their eyes were as bright as cats in the night.
Chen Xiaotong and Fang Doudou were not found in the private room, Zheng Haitao said very loudly: "Sister Lin, I happened to catch up with the masquerade dance party in the bar today, and they ...... A few ......" he said and burped and said, "Let's go to ...... too" and pointed to Xu Wanyun and Yu Miao, who were singing, and said, "The two of them won't, my sister will accompany me to dance ......"
"Sister Lin, you drank a little too much, I'll pour you a cup of hot water to relieve your hangover." Meng Fankun is a sensible person, he pushed away Zheng Haitao, who was about to come over to pull me, pressed him to the sofa, and then turned around and went out to pour water for me.
"Okay." I nodded in answer and sat down on the couch to rest.
A few of them are very energetic, and they are afraid that they will have to play for another hour or two. In the past six months, I have basically not been to Zijintai, and I have developed the habit of going to bed early, and when I see that the time is half past twelve, my eyelids are a little sleepy.
After Meng Fankun turned around and went out, Zheng Haitao immediately stood up, pushed my shoulder and said, "Sister, it's rare to do such a big project, we should be happy and happy, isn't it...... You can go down with me......"
I rubbed my head and said, "I drank too much and had a headache." Go play it yourself. β
"Sister, it's okay, dancing and sweating, it's good to disperse." Zheng Haitao's reasons are very good.
Before I could think of a stronger reason, he dragged me downstairs.
Walking down the stairs, I realized that a masquerade party was being held in the lobby on the first floor.
Countless young men and women, wearing masks that do not belong to them, dance wildly in the dance hall.
may be because there is a mask blocking their usual reserve, everyone's movements are wild and hot, especially some single men and women, I don't know if they know each other, but they are grinding each other's bodies on the dance floor without fear, and the scene is extremely hot.
Zheng Haitao pulled me onto the dance floor, and after only two laps, I couldn't find his face wearing crayons. Zheng Haitao was originally a cheerful personality, so I shouldn't have been pulled down by him. Now it's okay, he doesn't know where to go crazy, I'm in the crowd of carnivals, and I suddenly feel lonely.
I want to make my way through the crowd back upstairs, maybe sitting on the couch and taking a nap is the best exercise for me at the moment. However, I underestimated people's enthusiasm for masquerade. Every step I took was stopped by a masked man, and the movements were teasing.
I was a little at a loss, and I lost myself in the familiar music, surrounded by a few people, each of whom made a gesture of inviting to dance.
At this moment, a man wearing a faceless mask was suddenly crowded by the crowd, and his mask was familiar to me. It is the mask of the faceless man in "Spirited Away", the corners of the mouth are raised, as if he is not smiling, and a pair of innocent oval eyes are also painted, leaving only two small round holes, and he can't see the masked eyes behind him.
He has a good figure, a super sense of rhythm, every step falls on the drum, and his skillful dancing skills make it difficult for several others to retreat.
He danced around me and was so good that I pushed him away a few times and said, "I'm sorry, I don't like to dance." β
He turned a deaf ear to my words and repeatedly flaunted his dancing skills. I really didn't have the heart to dance, after being forcibly pulled down by Zheng Haitao, he disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he was a little unhappy.
I was pestered by him for about ten minutes, and his dancing skills were already noticed by the people in the dance hall, and the people around me even gave us a lot of open space.
I was a little overwhelmed by this eccentric, mute-like weirdo.
Zheng Haitao didn't know when he twisted back, and when he saw the man's provocative dance skills, he said to me, "Sister, go on." I don't believe you can't kill him in seconds, you're much better than him. β
In fact, many times, after people are put in a position, they will stimulate some potential. What's more, I'm just not in the mood to jump today, not that I can't jump.
My character is like this, when I am forced to the point where there is no way out, I will fight back.
I smiled on my face hidden behind the mask, and the stubbornness in my heart that I refused to lose was provoked. I took a few steps to keep up with the rhythm and danced with the faceless man.
The DJs at the bar are very good at mobilizing the enthusiasm of the venue, and the dance music is getting more and more energetic and the rhythm is getting faster and faster. This kind of fast-paced dance music does not require you to have any professional dance skills, as long as you are brave enough to keep up with the rhythm.
He looked at me from behind the mask, and finally jumped closer and closer. In a sudden change of pace, he suddenly pulled my arm and I spun three times in a row under him.
It was at this time that the tacit understanding suddenly appeared, and with the change of dance music, it finally came to the very beginning of the veneer slow dance, and he slowly approached me, a sense of familiarity that made my heart palpitate.
As the music became more and more soothing, the distance between strange men and women became closer and closer, and some people even lifted their masks and kissed the person in front of them, full of ambiguity and adultery. I inappropriately distanced myself from the person in front of me, for fear of meeting someone who couldn't help but kiss me again.
I wore a mask that was half makeup, half glamorous, half innocent and pleasing to the eye. The person I danced with was a faceless monster, the corners of his mouth were weirdly upturned, as if he was not smiling, and his face was expressionless......
This pair of combinations is surprisingly harmonious compared to the various combinations in the field, and there is only a few centimeters of space between the bodies, with his cooperation, I actually get better when I don't want to dance, and even the depression in my heart because of the little depression I met Xue Xiangming just now has dissipated.
After the last song, the DJ changed the music, and the people on the dance floor slowly dispersed, and the pole dancer in the center of the stage came on, and we were slowly squeezed into the crowd.
I danced for more than half an hour, sweating profusely, and I felt that the feeling of dizziness had passed, as if I had really sobered up.
When I returned to the private room, I saw Meng Fankun standing at the door, and when I saw me coming in, I hurriedly said, "Sister Lin, are you okay, I came back just now and saw that you had gone down, and I searched around the dance floor and couldn't find your shadow, so I had to come up and wait for you." β
I looked at the people in the private room, only he and Xu Wanyun were there, and the others hadn't come back yet, so I took out my card and handed it to him: "I'm old, it's not enough to play with you, wait for you to settle the bill, I'll go back first." β
"Sister Lin, do you want me to send you?" Meng Fankun asked.
I shook my head, left the card and left the bar.
On the way back, I suddenly remembered what the familiar palpitations on the dance floor were all aboutβthe feeling I had when I danced with He Liancheng.
"Driver, stop." I shouted involuntarily.
The car pulled over, and the driver turned around and asked me, "You want to get out of the car?" β
Only then did I realize what I had just said, and shook my head and said, "It's okay, let's keep walking, I think of something, it's too late." β
Yes, in time? If you miss it, you will never have a chance to turn back.
In the bar, is it really him?
The signing ceremony with Acre took place a week later, and there was a drinking party that night. I don't know if what I said to a few boys in the company that day played a role, or if these children themselves were very good at drinking, and their tables were good, and they helped me block a lot of alcohol.
At the end of the drink, Zheng Haitao began to talk nonsense, and hugged Sun Bolian and shouted brother.
Meng Fankun was the most stable, hugging Zheng Haitao and sending him to the lounge, so as to prevent him from continuing to lose face here.
Sun Bolian found an opportunity to clink glasses with me alone, leaned over and whispered: "Now the dust has fallen, Le Yi has thought about how to thank me?" β
"Of course, I will personally invite Mr. Sun to dinner next week and express it well." I smiled and clinked glasses with him and drank it all.
The partners selected by Acre this time are our company, Xue Xiangming company, and Chu Yi company. Chu Yi did not attend the signing ceremony in person, and sent a general manager of the imperial capital over.
There were many participants, but a few more glasses of wine didn't make it particularly difficult.
When I got home that night, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and I couldn't sleep after waking up as usual, so I sat barefoot on the bay window of my bedroom and opened the window to smoke.
The cold wind blew in, and the room was cold.
Sun Bolian is more difficult to deal with than Xue Xiangming, although Xue Xiangming is not a good person, but because of his young age, there are not as many bad water as Sun Bolian.
I can block Xue Xiangming twice with wine, but I can't block Sun Bolian with the same reason.
After so many years of crawling and rolling in the shopping mall, Sun Bolian is an old fox who is somewhat similar to He Zelin, otherwise it would be impossible to climb from the product design department to the company's top management.
I have a bit of a headache about how to thank him.
I know very well what men want, and the crux of the matter is whether I am willing to give it or not
