Chapter 9: Las Vegas

Shen Mengxi sat up from the bed abruptly, gasping for air. She took a quick look around and found herself still in the humble room of the motel.

Shen Mengxi covered his face with his hands, and slowly put down his hands after a long time. That's right! In front of me was still the humble room, not a low hut, there was no plank bed underneath, and I was still the body of the slender adult!

Shen Mengxi let out a long breath of turbidity. It turned out to be a dream! But the realism of that dream is really strong, so she still has a strong sense of involvement!

Shen Mengxi was speechless when he had such a strange dream. It is said that there are thoughts during the day and at night, can it be said that he has been too idle recently, and he would have such boundless dreams?

At this time, a ray of sunlight in the early morning shone through the gap in the curtain and shone on Shen Mengxi's sweaty face. She lifted the quilt and got up, grabbed a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to shower.

The facilities of this motel were so simple that Shen Mengxi had no hot water when she was halfway through the shower, so she had to quickly clean herself up with cold water in the winter of November. Shen Mengxi put on clean clothes and trembled and got into the quilt, but fortunately, the heating in the room was still quite sufficient, and she wrapped the quilt to warm up for a while before coming over.

Shen Mengxi packed her luggage and planned to check out in the hall, and as soon as she walked out of the door with her suitcase, she saw the door of the opposite room open at the same time, and the tall and handsome man was standing at the door of the room last night and smiling at her.

Shen Mengxi retracted his gaze, put the suitcase into the trunk of his Mustang without saying a word, opened the driver's door and sat down, threw the backpack on the passenger seat, and then drove away.

When passing by the man, Shen Mengxi glanced at him with his peripheral vision, and the man kept a smile on his face and watched her drive away. Shen Mengxi cursed in his heart: Neurotic! Pressing the accelerator hard, the sound of the engine suddenly became louder, and in the blink of an eye, her car disappeared from the man's sight.

……

Shen Mengxi drove all the way to Las Vegas, the world-famous casino city for her first time. Originally, she didn't plan to come here, for the simple reason that she had no money and was not interested in gambling. But one of her American colleagues, Tony, called her and asked her some work questions, knowing that she was on vacation in the United States at the moment, so he invited her to Las Vegas to play, promising to eat and live with him, and she would be responsible for the money.

Shen Mengxi agreed without much hesitation when she heard this, anyway, she didn't know how to gamble, so she should go and see it.

Shen Mengxi drove the car to the hotel where he had made an appointment to meet Tony, took out his luggage and handed the car to the parking boy, and walked into the lobby of the hotel with the suitcase.

“Sunny! My baby girl ! How are you!”

“No bad! And you?”

“Me too! Just miss you!”

“Really?”

“Off course!”

……

Tony is a middle-aged man in his fifties who met Shen Mengxi in the Middle East, when Shen Mengxi was just a newcomer. They joined a field visit organized by the local government together, and it can be said that they are people who have lived and died together, and their friendship is unusual!

Tony, like Shen Mengxi, has no family, and his ex-wife divorced him because she couldn't stand the fear of life, and he never had the intention of getting married after that. He felt that people like them didn't know that one day they would turn into a handful of ashes and be brought back to their motherland, and no concern was the best choice!

Shen Mengxi checked in to the hotel with the help of Tony, and sent her to the room, and left to let Shen Mengxi rest after making an appointment to have dinner together in the evening!
