Chapter 2: Night
Night is a crazy stage, and nightclubs are just the prelude to this stage. All the young men and women would like this stage to be set up only for their own performances, so they flock to it, only to become the foil of this stage at dawn.
Yuan Chen unnaturally stepped on the high heels lent to her by the little policewoman, and walked into one of the largest nightclubs in the city with the little policewoman and all kinds of men and women. She knew the nightclub, even more familiar than those who frequented it. She had watched the front and back doors of the place countless times, as well as in the building opposite, because this was a place frequented by some of the bigwigs. Every time she stalked, she would crane her neck and look in, so much so that her colleagues admired her dedication. As everyone knows, half of her is dedicated, and the other half is to satisfy her selfish desires, to be exact, voyeurism. She was looking at the men and women who were coming in and out, imagining what it would be like to be in the mix.
Today she finally got in the middle of it, but it made her so nervous that she twisted her foot as she entered the door. Indeed, the thin heel of the eight-centimeter height is too unsuitable for her, who always wears flat shoes.
A man at the door grabbed her arm, and Yuan Chen immediately stood up straight, shook off the man's hand, and put the other hand in front of her chest - she was wearing a low-cut dress-style dress that the little policewoman lent her, for fear of walking away.
Then, she looked up.
It was an elegant retro-type man, about thirty years old, with curly medium-long hair flying casually around his ears, unmodified stubble covering his cheeks, charming and deep eyes, and he didn't look impolitely, but looked into Yuan Chen's eyes.
Yuan Chen suddenly felt that this man was very familiar, as if he had met him somewhere, could it be from his previous life? Is this what is called love at first sight? However, the ensuing embarrassment replaced this presumptuous idea, she didn't expect that she would start her first nightclub trip from a stumbling place, and she didn't expect this stumbling to be captured by such a handsome man all the way. At this time, the first sentence of meeting the handsome guy that she had practiced countless times in her heart has long since forgotten.
The corners of the man's mouth turned up slightly and asked, "Are you okay?" "The voice is quite magnetic.
Yuan Chen nodded, and wanted to continue to follow the little policewoman inside, but the little policewoman had already blended into the crowd and couldn't find it at this time. She stood there and watched, feeling the nervousness and uneasiness of the baby leopard just leaving the mother.
In the nightclub, handsome men, women with surnames, the sound of wine glasses colliding, the sound of chaotic music, everything seems so full and seductive in the small space of smoke. Yuan Chen stood at the door stupidly, greedily absorbing everything, but she was very conflicted in her heart, she regretted coming here a little, although sometimes she had some impulsive thoughts and actions, but it was just her own little secret, and it was not known. And at this moment, she is not used to showing herself uninhibited in public. But now, she has indeed gone from one extreme to the other. She wanted to retreat, but she couldn't get rid of the attraction of all this in front of her, and her legs just wouldn't move a step back.
At this time, Yuan Chen, who refused to retreat, suddenly felt that her body had taken a few steps forward, and when she came back to her senses, she found that it was the man at the door just now who was holding her waist and was about to walk towards the field. The man's almost one-meter-nine height wrapped Yuan Chen, who was only one meter six, in it, she subconsciously struggled a few times, but the man hugged her tighter. She turned her head, and the tip of her nose was pressed against the tip of the man's nose.
"First time?" The man asked, again in that tone.
Yuan Chen felt a faint smell of tobacco waft over with the other party's words, Yuan Chen sometimes smoked, and the male colleagues around her also smoked often, she was not disgusted by this taste, especially the high-quality tobacco taste on this extremely attractive man.
She didn't answer, but she didn't struggle anymore.
The man put his arm around her, walked across the dance floor, came to a quiet corner, and sat down on a sofa chair. The man ordered a drink for Yuan Chen, and asked for a glass of wine himself.
"I drink too." Yuan Chen whispered, wanting to use alcohol to relieve tension. The man laughed and told the waiter to change the drink for wine.
"Alcohol doesn't relieve tension, and if I give you a glass of water at this point and tell you it's wine, you won't be able to drink it." The man seemed to see through her mind and said with a smile.
Yuan Chen lowered his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Actually, I'm the most introverted man in the whole room, you can use me to get used to the atmosphere. So that you won't be too restrained when you meet handsome and outgoing boys in the future. The man pulled the chair towards Yuan Chen and said.
Yuan Chen smiled, raised his eyes, and looked at the man. He's really handsome.
"If I had known that I would be lucky enough to meet such a beautiful woman today," said the man, touching his cheek, "I should have shaved before I came." ”
The other party's humor made Yuan Chen gradually relax, but she didn't take over the topic of men, to be exact, she didn't know where to start with such a match, so she had to start another topic by herself, and asked rhetorically: "Everyone is dancing and drinking inside, what are you doing standing at the door?" ”
The man brought his face closer again, Yuan Chen dodged backwards, and wanted to move the chair back, but the man held the armrest and couldn't retreat. She had to look away, at the ground, at the ceiling, and finally felt that there was really nowhere to look, so she simply met the man's gaze.
"I'm waiting for one of the most beautiful girls in the audience tonight." The man looked at Yuan Chen's gray-brown eyes and said with a smile.
"Is she coming?" Yuan Chen asked, and after speaking, he suddenly felt that he was very stupid in this question.
The man smiled and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”
Yuan Chen's face flushed.
The man pulled Yuan Chen up and asked her to sit on his lap. Yuan Chen's "ah" sounded, but before he could react, he was already in the man's arms.
His chest was too wide, wide enough to envelop himself, Yuan Chen lowered his head and thought with a red face: Is this how it feels?
The man took Yuan Chen's hand with one hand, wrapped his arms around her waist with the other, and slowly leaned his face over.
Yuan Chen's breathing became short, he closed his eyes, and stroked the man's hair, his hair was curly, soft, and felt good. Suddenly, she felt her consciousness blur a little, as if she was in a vision, like that dream.
A trace of coldness on his calf pulled Yuan Chen back from his dream, and that coldness came from a ring on the man's left thumb. She was startled and jerked the man's hand away.
"You must be here for the first time." The man shook his palm and smiled.
"How do you know?" Yuan Chen regretted his actions just now, regained his shyness, and asked softly.
"A woman who always wears high heels will have strong calf muscles, but strong ankles and a lot of folds – that's because of the long-term calf and heel build-up. For women who exercise regularly, although the calves will also have some muscles, the ankles are very slender, and the skin of the ankles and calves will also be very delicate. "You barely wear high heels, so you must never have been here, because the women here wear high heels." ”
Yuan Chen listened to the man's words, blushing and lowering his head, it was the first time she had heard a man evaluate his beauty in such a nuanced manner.
The man's nose stopped in her ear: "It's so fragrant...... Tell me, what perfume do you wear? ”
"Me? I...... Didn't use perfume...... Right? When Yuan Chen answered this question, he tried to remember whether the little policewoman had used perfume for her. It's true that no, the little policewoman missed this step, she only put on makeup for her. But where does the fragrance come from? I sweated a lot in the morning exercise, could it be the smell of the shower gel used in the bath?
"Hah......" The man laughed, revealing his snow-white teeth. Yuan Chen likes men with neat teeth.
"Isn't it," went on with the man, "that you have forgotten whether you have used your perfume or not?" ”
Yuan Chen's lowered head buried in the man's chest, she didn't want to say anything, she was just a little embarrassed, so she quickly raised her head again, she didn't want the other party to think that she was coquettish.
"But," said the man, "if it's a cheap perfume, it's pungent, it's not the smell of a cheap perfume." But, strangely, it's not the smell of good perfumes, because I know them so well that they can't escape my nose. So, there is only one explanation for ......"
"Huh?" Yuan Chen looked into the man's eyes and wanted to get this answer.
The man gently pressed Yuan Chen's head again, pressed it against his chest, and blew into her ear: "That must be your body fragrance." ”
Yuan Chen closed his eyes and felt that his body was crisp.
"So, can I know what you do?" The man asked again.
"I'm a police officer...... Well, it's a ...... Students who learn landscape sketching, students who are in school. As soon as Yuan Chen spoke, he suddenly thought that he couldn't reveal his identity casually, so he immediately changed his words.
"Oh?" The man laughed, "Then you must have painted a lot of landscapes, what is your favorite landscape?" ”
Yuan Chen was so distracted by the man's breathing that he didn't know how to answer, so he had to lower his head and beat wildly.
The ring on the man's left thumb glistened coldly under her gaze.
"Are you married?" Yuan Chen changed the topic and asked.
"It's not a wedding ring," the man said, shaking his finger, "it's the wedding ring that's on the ring finger." ”
"What does Dai mean here?"
"I'm the only one." The man smiled, and after speaking, he hugged Yuan Chen into his arms.
Yuan Chen felt that he was going to get drunk, and his body was trembling slightly.
"You're nervous again. Don't be nervous, I'll answer the phone first and I'll be back in a moment. After the man finished speaking, he gently put Yuan Chen on the sofa chair, got up and walked out. Yuan Chen was buried in his seat, holding his head in his hands, panting. Fortunately, the other party answered the phone. Otherwise, she thought, she wouldn't know what to do. But she also regretted a little, why did he come in with a call at this time? It's annoying. Did his phone ring just now? It doesn't seem to be ringing. Alas, I was so flustered that I didn't pay attention to any of this at all. When will he return? Thinking of this, Yuan Chen turned his head to look, only to see the man walking back with a smile on his face and sitting beside her again. She let out a sigh of relief.
"What? Miss me for a while? ”
"Nothing." Yuan Chen's face turned red again and lowered his head.
"Huh." The man laughed, "And what are you looking back at?" ”
"I, I'm looking for a female companion who came with me."
"He's with my friends." The man said.
"Huh?" Yuan Chen raised his head in surprise.
"Pretty coincidentally, isn't it?" The man said.
Yuan Chen did not speak.
"You're a first-time visitor, but you've been playing for a long time, so it's really not interesting here."
"Then why are you still here?" Yuan Chen resumed his surname of not admitting defeat and asked rhetorically.
"Well," the man hesitated for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, "I'm waiting for a girl who can go with me to see the beautiful scenery." ”
"Beautiful scenery?" Yuan Chen was a little nervous, thinking: It can't be the two of them alone, right? It won't be ...... Let's go open a house, right?
"Don't think of me so obscenely," said the man, as if reading her mind, "it's the most beautiful part of the city, but if you can't go with the prettiest girl, you're flawed." Only you," the man said in an accentuated tone, "can make it the most beautiful of sight." Don't you want to check it out? It will also be helpful for you to sketch the scenery in the future. ”
The man led her as a student made up by Yuan Chen himself, so that she couldn't refuse, not to mention the handsome image and gentle words that made her feel very comfortable with him. So she nodded and agreed.
When the two walked out of the nightclub, an elongated white Hummer was parked outside the door. Yuan Chen's eyes widened.
As soon as the man was pouting, he walked to the car first, and the waiter had already opened the car door, and the man made a "please" gesture to Yuan Chen. Yuan Chen walked to the side of the car, froze in place, and asked, "This car...... Is it yours? ”
"What? Isn't it like? The man asked rhetorically.
Yuan Chen shook her head and nodded again, she didn't know whether she wanted to say "like" or "not like".
The man showed his white teeth again: "Get in the car, don't you want to wait for me to hug you?" ”
Yuan Chen smiled and helped the man's hand to get into the car.
With leather seats, high-end audio, shiny bar, and luxurious red wine, Yuan Chen feels that this is the real world for two.
The man guessed her thoughts again: "This is not really a two-person world, it is just a tool to a pure two-person world." Then he said to the front, "Drive." ”
"Yes." A familiar voice replied playfully.
The car started.
