Chapter 355: Comfort
“Hi! It's Sister Lily, what a coincidence! ”
Lily just wanted to ask Ning Dongqing why she had to come to the nightclub, but was interrupted again. Ning Dongqing held back the hot feeling in her throat and looked at the comer.
Unexpectedly, it was the same group of Hong Kong people just now!
It was one of the girls who greeted Lily, and it seemed that the two of them knew each other well.
It turned out that this girl was Lily's classmate and also a media major. At this time, the nightclub was full of people, and there were no free tables at all, they came to share tables.
Everyone is an alumni of UEA, and Lily can't refuse to look up when you look down. So, this group of Hong Kong people sat down with them. Of course, the happiest person about this is the tall man, although he has been rejected by Ning Dongqing before, but now he has found a new target!
This woman named Lily is much more charming than the little girl just now!
Lily is very sophisticated in dealing with this man's accosting. She neither behaved casually, nor was she as unkind as Ning Dongqing.
In short, save face for others, and don't suffer yourself, so it's okay.
Like Ning Dongqing, if you run into a drunk, you will definitely get into trouble, and maybe you will be bullied. Everyone is here to relax, and no one wants to be unpleasant, so Lily reluctantly chats with this man.
Looking at this man who used to talk to him, but now he went to Sister Lily's kneeling and licking, Ning Dongqing snorted disdainfully, sure enough, he was right, how can there be any love in this world?
Sensuality! It's all naked sensuality!
Sister Lily was snatched away by the man. She didn't know anyone else, and Ning Dongqing became a loner again. The mood that had just improved became a little low again.
But. Fortunately, there was still a lot of wine on the table, and Ning Dongqing was not polite. I drank cup after cup.
Although the wine was still very spicy to her, the pain in her heart would be lightened when her throat hurt.
Lily hadn't forgotten about Ning Dongqing, but unfortunately she was now surrounded by a group of people, and she didn't have any skills. Wang Zongze came over from the bar with a tray of wine at this time. After all, they borrowed other people's tables, and if they even rubbed other people's wine, it would be a bit too much to say.
As soon as Wang Zongze put the tray on the table, Ning Dongqing immediately picked up a cup and took a sip very simply. Seeing that Ning Dongqing had a second cup. Wang Zongze immediately grabbed her hand and stopped her.
It's not that Hong Kong is stingy, anyway, his partner also said before that he would invite Ning Dongqing to drink tonight. And a few glasses of wine don't cost much, and he won't take it to heart.
The reason why he stopped Ning Dongqing was because he also saw it. This little girl is definitely not under the age of eighteen, and if something goes wrong at that time, she will definitely be implicated in the wine. And looking at Ning Dongqing's appearance, she must have never drunk alcohol.
Little Hong Kong didn't want her to have any accidents. That's why I grabbed her hand.
"You're going to get drunk like that." Wang Zongze said with his standard Hong Kong persuasion.
Ning Dongqing didn't pay attention to Xiao Hong Kong at all, broke free of his hand and killed the glass of wine again.
"How old are you, to be honest." Wang Zongze grabbed Ning Dongqing's hand again, otherwise the latter would have to drink a third cup.
"Does it have anything to do with you? You pretend to be so concerned. Do you want to soak me? After a few glasses of wine, Ning Dongqing was already a little drunk.
"You" Xiao Hong Kong's face turned red when Ning Dongqing said it.
"Wang Zongze! Come here! ”
Little Hong Kong wanted to explain again, but unfortunately his partner was already calling him. Wang Zongze glanced at Ning Dongqing again. Shaking his head helplessly, he sat down next to his partner.
It's going to be a kung fu. Lily's companions also returned from the dance floor, and among them was the target that Ning Dongqing was going to steal the ID card in the first place. They greeted the group of Hong Kong people one after another. Everyone is in the same school. Usually there will be some intersections, so they are not strangers to each other.
It was a bit crowded for two groups of people to use the same table, but fortunately, a few of the Hong Kongers also went to the dance floor to play, so they could barely sit down.
The tall man he accosted didn't give up, and he kept going to Lily's fortress. Lily was a little impatient, and left the table with an excuse to go to the bathroom.
Of course, she didn't forget Ning Dongqing.
Lily took Ning Dongqing's hand and walked through the internal staircase to the second floor of Wonderland. Compared to the lobby on the first floor, it is just as noisy and there are just as many people. In desperation, Lily and Ning Dongqing went to the third floor together.
The third floor is much quieter than the first and second floors, and the music is more soothing. There are also plenty of sofas to sit on, and in terms of chatting, the environment is much better than the first and second floors.
The two of them sat down at random. Seeing that Ning Dongqing kept looking towards the bar, Lily smiled at her and asked, "What?" Still want to drink? ”
"Well, I have money. I invite you. Ning Dongqing said, taking out a twenty-pound bill from his pocket and handing it to Lily.
Lily didn't ask for Ning Dongqing's money, but just told her to wait for her in place and not go anywhere.
Since there were fewer people on the third floor, no one came to talk to Lily after she left. After a while, Lily returned with two glasses of wine.
"This wine is delicious, what's its name?" Ning Dongqing took a sip and suddenly asked with bright eyes.
"Baileys, Baileys. This is made with ice, coffee, milk, and Baileys. Lily still only took a sip, but didn't take a sip. She was poured several cups by that group of Hong Kong people just now, even if there was no Ning Dongqing, she had to find a chance to leave.
Bailey? Ning Dongqing suddenly remembered that Lily's surname was also Baili. She silently kept this delicious wine in her heart. If there is a chance in the future, she must have another drink.
Maybe it's because I drank too much, maybe it's because I have a good impression of Lily, or Ning Dongqing just wants to talk to a stranger. Without waiting for Lily to ask, Ning Dongqing began to tell her troubles one by one.
Lily was a qualified listener, she didn't interrupt Ning Dongqing, and listened quietly.
Ning Dongqing has never told anyone about these troubles, Lily is the first, and probably the last.
Ning Dongqing's background greatly surprised Lily. At first, she thought that the child was just arguing with his parents, or that he was rebellious due to too much pressure to study. Unexpectedly, this little girl actually endured so much pain.
Lily thinks she's been through a lot of hardships, but that's all in adulthood. At the age of fifteen, she never had to worry about anything other than her exams.
His parents divorced, his mother committed suicide, his father's life and death were unknown, and he had to live with his hated stepfather. Lily couldn't believe that all this had happened to the little girl in front of her.
"Dongqing, that's just your stepfather's words. Maybe your father is still alive? You must not give up hope. Lily knew her comfort was pale, but she had to speak. If no one enlightens Ning Dongqing, who knows that one day this child will be crushed by these things.
"If he is still alive, then why has he never looked for me all these years, has he forgotten me" Ning Dongqing said aggrievedly, tears had begun to roll in his eyes.
Lily hugged Ning Dongqing in her arms and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for her.
"Child, just because he doesn't look for you doesn't mean he forgot about you. In this world, how can there be a father who does not love his daughter? Perhaps, he has his own troubles. ”
Lily said, sighing.
"I suddenly remembered what Hayao Miyazaki said: It's raining in the city you live in, and I'm tempted to ask if you have an umbrella with you. But I held back, because I was afraid that you wouldn't bring it, and I couldn't do anything about it, like I loved you but couldn't give you the company you wanted. ”
Ning Dongqing couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes anymore, and she couldn't cry sadly.
She cried many times, really many times.
But it was the first time she cried when she had someone around.
***************
As the night progressed, the bar street became more and more lively. As the cafeteria closes, the last customers have left. The boss sat alone at the counter at the door, looking at the waiters who were cleaning in a daze.
In fact, restaurants and restaurants in Norwich usually close at 9:10 p.m. It's just because of their special geographical location that they will be open until half past twelve.
A restaurant on the bar street will become an outlier if it closes too early. And because there are many nightclubs and bars nearby, there are often Chinese students ordering takeout, so the boss will delay the opening hours until so late.
No matter how small a fly is, it is meat, and every time he takes an extra order for takeout, he is one step closer to his dream of buying a bar street.
Although there was an accident today, fortunately, only a few dishes were broken, and there was no big loss.
"Boss, I'm back. All delivered on time! ”
The boss was in a daze, and Wang Can suddenly pushed the door and walked in. He handed the slips to his boss, picked up a plastic bag on the counter, and prepared to leave work.
Two dishes and one meal in a plastic bag, which are all made by their own restaurant. The work of delivering food has to be done until midnight, needless to say, it is hard work, which can be regarded as a little benefit given to Wang Can by the boss.
Anyway, the leftovers of these meals are also thrown away, and it is better to give employees an extra meal.
"Boss, thank you! See you tomorrow! Wang Can held the bag of food, said hello to the boss, and was about to go home to rest.
"Wait!" Wang Can was about to push the door, but was stopped by the boss. (To be continued.) )
