7. The Last Night
There are a lot of people in the bar.
Perhaps instinctively, he squeezed into the front of the bar, in the very center of the place.
He didn't care what people were gossiping, he casually asked for a beer and looked at the bar.
Tables and chairs made of wood, rough Fauvist paintings, worn staircase handrails and wooden floors, and worn bar edges that extend to the bottom of the bar.
It reminded him of the era of Western Frontier that he had seen before, the bloody and savage West of the United States hundreds of years earlier.
Survival and glory, death and heroes, you come and go on a stage, blood and tears are swayed in that land.
Crazy dreams, hopes, silent despair, shocking wails and bones have turned a few people into gold miners, oil tycoons, ranchers with huge lands, and chaebol founders.
He longs for such an era, where the price of risk can often be greatly rewarded. He had nothing left to lose, he was still alone.
……
His ears seemed to echo the warm applause and cheers of the huge crowd in the academy, and he calmly stared at the crowd silently, occasionally nodding his head without a trace of passionate emotion.
He knew very well that the plan was about to begin, and so was his mission.
He is the central part of this vast project.
At this moment, all the resources are under his control, and he should not take it lightly......
But today, he suddenly felt like someone had moved a string in his head, and he wanted to get rid of the constraints for a while, let himself go, and come to this small bar with a unique style.
It was late at night, and the drizzle outside the window still didn't mean to stop.
He asked for another beer, the sixth in almost an hour.
At this moment, a strange woman leaned over, sat down, and accosted him with a smile.
Perhaps it was the sight of his charming delicate appearance and lonely figure that made her think a little.
The woman's heavy makeup is light, delicate and enchanting, but her facial features are also very beautiful, and her facial contours have an indescribable charm.
The jade legs are slender, and the hollow lace envelops the charming body underneath, and it looks pure and pure - an absolute beauty, but also exudes a faint mature temperament like a young woman.
Maybe she's a regular at night, maybe she's just like him, looking for solace or letting go of herself.
In this day and age, both men and women are very open-minded. Even if a woman hunts a man, it's all too common.
The woman was soon followed by several tall and powerful men, apparently, intentionally or unintentionally, approaching this beauty......
The corners of Zhuge Yun's mouth quickly flashed with a sneer.
In a short time, several strangers appeared next to those strong men.
After a few minutes, there was no longer any man beside the girl except Zhuge Yun.
He gave the woman a more fervent gaze in return, but his expression seemed to look back at her politely.
"Two more of that light ale."
He snapped his fingers at the bartender, smiled, and like an unconscious little movement, his thumb and pinky fingernails were buttoned in a circle, skimmed over his ears, and flicked his little thumb at random next to his ear.
The woman didn't look at him head-on, as if naturally, and played with her long, silky hair.
But Zhuge Yun knew that the corner of her eyes had swept the slender fingers beside her ears as if she was careless.
"I'll ask you, and all the expenses tonight will be counted in my account."
The woman smiled: "Okay! ”
In a few moments, under the skillful movements of the waiter, two glasses of the top-quality and most expensive Tuscan brand of light beer, sprinkled with golden powder, bubbling with delicate and rich foam, were placed in front of him and her.
Zhuge Yun invited her to drink.
Soon, the two became warm as if they were old friends.
Zhuge Yun seems to have changed as a person, and today for some reason, he has never talked so much with people......
Perhaps it was the atmosphere of this bar, and the slender lady beside him, that inspired a certain great passion in his body.
The two of them talked about something funny, and the woman laughed uncontrollably.
In the two-hour chat, her two red lips bent into an upturned crescent moon shape countless times, and occasionally changed into a cherry shape, which was charming and cute.
They asked for a full bottle of 17-year-old Grand Reserve wine.
The girl giggled and said, "Really? So, you're a scholar of 'how to speak'? Species Linguistics ...... So what kind of species is that? “
The woman asked with a slightly drunken and silky eyes, half-truths.
"Well—yes, you're right, 'the scholar who studies the talker'...... Hehe, you can understand it this way, but it's not quite right, do you want to know more about it? “
The corners of Zhuge Yun's mouth rose, as if he was ridiculing the woman's words, and it seemed like he was laughing at himself.
"I'm interested......"
"For example, humans are a kind of primate...... Divided into men and women, this is the top species on the planet. Well, I'm a creature that specializes in women. ”
"I don't believe it! Che - None of what you scholars say is true, coaxing ignorant ordinary people, how can anyone specialize in women? ”
"Hehe—the correct way to say it is to study how to talk to beautiful women and use language to seduce them...... Species linguistics is like that. And, most importantly, not to be noticed by them! ”
"Hahaha, do you think I'm aware of it?"
"Oh, I think, women have a lot of instincts, and you should be the best of them. However, I'm not so sure, it depends on ...... Your specific reaction. ”
He stared at the woman's pink lips with eagle-like drunken eyes, and the woman didn't seem to hide her head slightly at all, and a trace of hair floated in front of Zhuge Yun's eyes as if she was alive.
Without hesitation, he kissed the side of his face.
The woman's head was also tilted, her hair buried deep in his neck, and she raised her head and stretched out her tongue cooperatively, stirring together.
He cupped her chin and stroked her cheek with a slow rotation of his palm. And her hand also climbed Zhuge Yun's shoulder, and her five jade fingers rubbed up and down.
In an instant, both of them felt it—the primordial flame of living beings rose from heaven.
It was a matter of course, and the two walked out of the bar holding hands.
On the top floor of the most luxurious hotel, the air inside the presidential suite is filled with a refreshing smell!
Lime citrus + mint? Or Oriental musk + cinnamon vanilla?
The smell wafted from the top of the hotel to the city overlooking the two of them, and the huge curtains were blown by the wind to the corner of the palatial room.
Every cluster of lights on the buildings in the city, as if every bright window, looked at the drama on the top floor of the hotel.
A 30-year-old bottle of gold-leaf royal cognac lit the last candle flame for a night of passion.
The scenery of the night was beautiful, the woman was like a smooth snake, swimming all over Zhuge Yun's body, panting and laughter came and went, and he also persistently reciprocated with a rough whip......
The next morning, Zhuge Yun didn't wake up until the morning, his body was a little tired, and his physical exertion was huge - he had worked too hard last night.
He was not surprised at all when he saw the sleep marks next to the bed. While he was still asleep, the woman had already left, and he didn't even know her name.
What he didn't know was that a few hours earlier, the woman had been taken away in her sleep and disappeared from the planet's surface......
Tidying up his clothes, he took out his watch and put it on his hand to look at it, then walked out of the room.
"Please come down, the driver has arrived." A voice spoke to him.
Outside the porch of the luxury hotel, there are two staff members sent by the "Planetary Council".
Judging from their well-propped suits, these two are tough guys with skills, and maybe they have other weapons on them.
A luxury car was parked in front of the hotel, apparently waiting for him.
"The dream of a new human exploration spaceship sets sail", several dancing girls in uniform freeze in the picture, and play a string of fundraising advertising slogans.
He took one last look at the girl in the huge electronic display on the opposite floor, and stepped into the limousine with his legs raised.
Today was the day he reported to Jupiter's outer base, something he knew before he got the boarding notice.
But first, he was going to the nearest European Earth Planet Council to hear a report.
This report was given separately to the shipboard researchers on the Pacific.
This is also something he has known for a long time - once the gears of fate start turning, they cannot be stopped.
