Chapter 49: Eavesdropping
Since then, they seem to have been in a cold war, and I was still mediated between them, but my father's death was delayed. Shen Nuo called and said that he was in a bad mood, and it happened that I was also depressed, so I made an appointment with him to sing K.
KTV was very popular at the time, and students like our age always came in groups to play. We opened a small room and ordered a dozen beers. The light in the box was very dim, only the big screen was flashing. Actually, I'm a good boy at heart, but I love this kind of claustrophobic place. When Xie Chen took me to a nightclub for the first time, he explained to me with great taste, "In a place like a nightclub, the average activity area of each person is less than two square meters, and physical contact may occur at any time, which invisibly weakens the vigilance between people, shortens the distance between each other, and then controls the heartbeat through rhythm, light and shadow create illusions, music renders emotions, and a lot of beautiful love will arise from here." ”
However, Shen Nuolai and I are not pursuing a beautiful love this time. He didn't complain anything to me, I didn't ask, we just sang wildly, singing with our voices at the top of our voices, and Huang Pinyuan's "How Can You Bear Me Sad" was sung until tears flowed down our faces.
We also drank a lot of wine, and finally the waiter came in and "bombed" us out. Outside, the lights are on, and the glittering streets are chaotic in my eyes. Shen Nuo squatted at the intersection and buried his head deep in his knees, "I like her...... I don't want to be her ...... Good buddy......"
His voice was low and sounded like a whimper, and I wasn't sure if he was crying.
"I don't know what she wants, I don't know what she takes me for...... Just good friends? From the first time I saw her, it was...... The time we were playing a game, I ...... I just like her......"
"I understand...... "I felt uncomfortable, a night breeze blew, and my tears came down," she just lost her way for a while, you believe me, she will be back soon......"
"Really?" Shen Nuo raised his head, his eyes wandering, "She's just on a whim, isn't she?" ”
A person's life will eventually return to peace, and going around and around will still return to the most reliable and down-to-earth place. And I can see that although Shuangshuang doesn't say it, he still cares about Shen Nuo in his heart.
I have no memory of what happened after that, but I vaguely remember that I seemed to have stuffed Shen Nuo into a taxi and made him disappear quickly. Later, when I thought about it, I was so impressed that I was so drunk, I actually remembered Xie Chen's order not to allow me to drink outside. I remember the first time Xie Chen took me out to a party in their circle, a big brother took a small glass of red wine for me to drink, in fact, with the amount of alcohol I had at the time, that small glass of wine was nothing at all, but Xie Chen stopped me, and the big brother who swept it on the spot had a very bad face. When I asked him afterwards why he had stopped my drink, he said very righteously: "In this circle, if men want to get drunk with girls, they start with the first drink that doesn't matter, and if they have the first drink, they can't refuse the second drink, and they always have all kinds of ways to toast you." I stopped you just now, and everyone present today understands that you, Lin Xing, will not drink under any circumstances. For girls, don't drink with strangers outside. I was moved by his words.
I was thinking about how to deal with Xie Chen when I got home, but I seemed to think too much, because there was an unfamiliar Mercedes Benz parked in the yard. I know that there must be someone at home, and Xie Chen must be busy with his business again. And past experience has taught me that at this point, he usually ignores me and ignores me. I couldn't help but thank God for his extra kindness, and then rang the doorbell with a small tune. Aunt Liu opened the door, I casually asked who was coming, and from her intermittent description, I judged that it was Brother Jiu who came.
Ninth brother. Since the last time I heard from my brother that he and Jin Jialong teamed up to trap Xie Chen, I didn't have any impression of him. Sister Xu said that he and Xie Chen had a bad relationship, but I naturally don't know what the purpose of this visit was. However, when I saw that the door of Xie Chen's room on the second floor was closed, I reasonably guessed that there must be some major secret.
I didn't go upstairs, I took a shower on the first floor, I sat on the sofa and watched TV, there was no movement upstairs for a long time, I looked at the watch at more than eight o'clock in the evening, and they didn't mean to come down. I sang so well in the afternoon, and now my eyelids started to fight again, so I lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
I squinted for I don't know how long, but I faintly heard a knock on the door above, followed by footsteps coming downstairs. I immediately came to my senses and curled up inside the couch. I was already very thin, and I was covered by the big couch back, and I couldn't be seen from there.
"Brother Xie, you can think about that matter again, anyway, you and I both know that there is no win-win thing in the world......" was Brother Jiu's voice.
"I'm afraid it's hard for me to do it." There was no trace of warmth in Xie Chen's voice.
"Young man, don't talk too much, you must know to leave yourself a way back." Brother Jiu said with a smile.
Then came the sound of the door lock, followed by the roar of the car. It wasn't until the sound of the car faded away that I heard Xie Chen's footsteps entering the door, "Aunt Liu, hasn't she come back yet?" ”
