Chapter Forty-Seven: Send Me Home
Zekuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, where are you?" β
Xinyun said happily: "Then you come to Fangcun Bar Street." Then teach him what bus to take and where to get off, then turn the motorcycle, and finally emphatically say: "Say yes, see you or leave!" β
"Okay, see you soon!"
Hung up the phone, Zekuan suddenly hesitated, he hadn't been to a bar, but he knew that it was a high-consumption place, Xinyun was so able to drink, and the two calls to her were like being in a bar, obviously she often went to the bar to play. Although a girl who often goes to bars is not necessarily bad, but thinking of her poor life experience and emotional experience, he has to have some concerns.
He thought back to the experience he had since he met her, and the articles she had written, and he didn't think she was a bad woman, and if he had released her pigeons, she might have ignored him again.
He didn't want to lose her friend, so he went to Fangcun Bar Street as she said, and then called her.
Xinyun answered the phone, it was even more noisy than just now, and she asked, "Have you already arrived?" You speak louder, I'm very noisy here. β
Zekuan said loudly: "I've arrived, which bar are you in?" β
Xinyun said: "I'm on the fiber stage, I may not get off work until 12 o'clock, you wait for me outside, see you or leave!" β
Zekuan then knew that she was working here, and looked at the time on her phone, it was just 10 o'clock in the evening, and she had to wait for 2 hours.
He seemed to have a feeling of being played, and he really wanted to leave, but remembering her promise of "see you and leave", since they are all here, they will rest tomorrow anyway, just wait until she gets off work, and never come again, even if she no longer treats him as a friend.
He walked all the way to the "Slim Stage" bar, which she had called, but walked far and saw nothing.
Fangcun Bar Street is 1,600 meters long, opened since 2002, and has been listed as one of the "Top Ten Characteristic Streets in Guangzhou" by being included in the key projects of Guangzhou's commerce and trade industry and the Pearl River night sightseeing spot.
It is located on the bank of the White Goose Pond, across the river from the White Swan Hotel, one of the landmark buildings in Guangzhou, with charming river views, and the bar street is 2 to 3 storey European-style buildings, which are very distinctive, and with dazzling and colorful lighting signs, it is even more dazzling.
Although it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, there was still an endless stream of cars and taxis coming in and out, beautiful women in fragrant cars, handsome men and local tyrants, and the world of these people seemed to be a different planet from Zekuan.
In his impression, Xinyun seems to belong to such a consumer class, she once spent 100 yuan to sing a song on the street, but she works here, and she does not dislike eating fast food in the industrial area with him.
Of course, there are different jobs in bars, I don't know what kind of work she does, and girls who work in entertainment venues often give people a bad impression, but he believes that Xinyun will not be the kind of woman who is not careful.
He found a place to sit down by the river, took out the manual of his mobile phone, and familiarized himself with how to use this first mobile phone in his life.
In this way, the waiting time passed very quickly, just after half past eleven, a dark smell of wine with a faint fragrance came to his face, and when he looked up, Xinyun was wearing a lace sundress, painting eye shadow, wiping bright red lips, and his face was crimson.
Xinyun smiled and asked him, "Are you impatient?" β
Zekuan shook his head and said, "No, didn't you say that you won't get off work until 12 o'clock?" β
Xinyun said: "The bar is open until 2 o'clock, but except for weekends or festivals, there are no customers until 11 o'clock, and there are fewer people buying alcohol, so I just leave work early so that you don't have to waitβ"
As she spoke, she suddenly frowned, and threw up on the guardrail by the river. Then he gasped and said, "I drank too much tonight, and I don't know how many times I vomited." β
Zekuan said: "I can't drink it, why do you still drink so much?" β
Xinyun took out a tissue and wiped her mouth and said, "Because I am a wine girl, my job is to sell alcohol and drink, drink more and sell more, that's money." β
It turned out that she was a wine girl, Zekuan had heard people say that they made money by selling alcohol in the bar and getting a commission, and the income was quite high if she did well, no wonder she was so good at drinking, and she could be so enthusiastic with strangers. But he also heard that some girls can't resist the temptation of money to do the skin and meat business, and he believes that Xinyun will not be such a person.
Xinyun asked her, "What's the matter, do you look down on me a little?" β
Zekuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No." β
Xinyun smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't." β
She walked on her feet, grabbed Zekuan's shoulder with one hand to stand firmly, and said, "I was going to invite you to supper, but now it doesn't work, you have to send me home." "Pull him and go.
He didn't go far, and then begged him, "My house is not far from here, can you carry me back?" β
Zekuan nodded silently and picked her up.
Xinyun was already drunk, but he could still point the way from time to time.
As she walked, she said in a poignant voice, "Your back is as solid and warm as his." β
Zekuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is your boyfriend?" β
Xinyun said: "Sort of! But he has a wife and children. β
"He deceived you?" Zekuan asked sadly.
"No, alasβ" Xinyun sighed and said helplessly, "I was willing to do it myself." β
Zekuan suddenly seemed to feel a heavy weight on his back.
"He's an editor." Xinyun said.
Zekuan: "Oh. β
"Don't guess, it's not the old man from "Southern Tide"." Xinyun said: "He was only eight years older than me, he was the editor of the newspaper, and he went to Shanghai. β
Zekuan asked, "Then are you waiting for him to come back?" β
"I don't know." Xinyun said: "I also know that it's wrong to meddle in other people's families, but I can't control my feelings." β
Walked a small road, turned into the alley, and finally arrived at the downstairs where she lived, her heart came down, and she took out the key in her bag for a long time, Zekuan went to open the door, and as soon as she let go, she slid to the ground against the door frame, and she was already unconscious.
Zekuan saw that one of the keys said 502, and the stairs were very narrow and steep, and it was almost impossible to walk with people on his back, so he had to carry her on his shoulders and climb the stairs step by step.
When I arrived on the 5th floor, I was already tired and out of breath, and when I opened the door and entered, it was a bedroom and a living room, and there were sofas and TV stereos in the hall.
He opened the door to the room, put her on the bed, then went to the bathroom and washed a wet towel on her forehead.
The suspenders on one side of Xinyun's clothes slipped off, and Zekuan's heart beat faster for a while.
