Chapter 55: Entire body was pushed against the wall.
When Cheng You finally realized, he was slow to catch on in hindsight: “What’s his relationship with that girl?”
“Ex-girlfriend.”
Cheng You was drinking wine, and after he heard that, he spat it all out. Oh shit, really gone too far! It’s over, he’s going to be hung up and beaten.
“Mr. Sheng, why didn’t you remind me?”
“Reminded, just now.”
“Ah, I thought your eyes were hurting at that time.”
Cheng You’s girlfriend was sitting by the side and helplessly facepalmed; why did she have an idiot boyfriend?
Xu Sui was standing on the left side of the center of the stage in the pro area. She was so close that she could hardly hear what others were talking about. Li Yang put a hand on her shoulder, leaned into her ear, and yelled:
“My sweetheart, are you tired? Do you want a drink—”
Before the “ah” was even said, Li Yang felt a strong male hormone approaching, and a brute force pulled away his hand from Xu Sui’s shoulder, tearing them apart.
Someone stepped back and bumped into Xu Sui. The silk scarf she was playing with and wearing on her head fell off, and the chilly air from the air conditioner blew over, like white gauze, falling at Zhou Jingze’s feet.
Zhou Jingze was tall and straight, holding his hand with one hand and silently standing between the two. He looked at her with a heavy expression.
Li Yang was in so much pain and hurriedly said: “Ouch, it hurts, handsome guy, if you have something to say, let go first.”
“You let go.” Xu Sui frowned.
Li Yang is considered tall, but when Zhou Jingze leaned over, Zhou Jingze was still a bit taller than him. He clamped Li Yang’s wrist, and dry ice crept under his feet. Zhou Jingze was dressed in a black shirt and black trousers. His fierce face was half entrapped in red shadows, his eyelashes swept down, and he looked at her with an obscure expression: “Why did you come to this kind of place?”
Xu Sui felt a little angry in her heart. This person came over, interrupted, and detained her friend without any explanation. Xu Sui took two steps forward, leaned over to pick up her silk scarf, and looked at him, saying word by word:
“Do I know you?”
In what position are you to nag me, ex-boyfriend? Xu Sui looked him straight in the eyes and wanted to ask the second half of the sentence.
What was most heartbreaking was that Xu Sui said this sentence in a calm and emotionless tone, just like her.
The atmosphere remained a stalemate, and the expression on Zhou Jingze’s face changed. He let go of Li Yang abruptly, still looking at her, and nodded: “Okay.”
After saying that, he penetrated through the crowd on the dance floor and left. After seeing Zhou Jingze’s face, the people on the dance floor wanted to strike up a conversation with him, but unfortunately, they were given the cold shoulder.
Seeing him return to his place, Xu Sui followed her gaze all the way to the VIP area. He sat down again, and the person next to him moved and freed a seat immediately. He picked up the wine glass on the table and touched it, taking a sip, and his Adam’s apple rolling, before starting to talk to the person casually.
It seems that just now was an irrelevant interlude.
Xu Sui withdrew her gaze; it was indeed an interlude. Li Yang’s expression faintly carried excitement, and he asked loudly beside her ear: “Sweetheart, still playing?”
Now that Xu Sui had no interest in playing anymore, she shook her head: “I’m a little tired, go back and drink.”
Xu Sui walked to the bar on the other side. Looking from a distance, Liang Shuang hit off with a man she had just met. Unclear what kind of joke the other party said, Liang Shuang lay on the table and covered her face with laughter.
She was not surprised by this. In Liang Shuang’s words, youth does not stay long, so seize the day. Thinking of this, Xu Sui laughed and walked over to sit on the high chair.
The bartender came over to ask her what she wanted to drink. Xu Sui’s elbow pressed on the menu, and just as she was about to open her mouth, a pale hand with thin blood vessels held a glass of wine and moved it in front of Xu Sui.
“Baby, I’ll treat you to the Wizard of Oz.” Li Yang winked at her and highly praised her, trying to curry favor, “Such refreshing wine should match my laurel beauty.”
Li Yang had just met Xu Sui, so he was very polite to her and only dared to say what was in his heart when he knew her well. He said that Xu Sui carried the soft temperament of a southern woman, very gentle, but her eyes were clear and cold.
Like the laurel tree planted next to Chang’e in the sky.
The fragrance is cool and sweet but beyond reach.
Xu Sui took a sip from the wine glass and chewed a piece of ice, her cheeks bulging. Seeing her relaxed brows and eyes, Li Yang leaned over and started talking:
“My sweetheart ah, did you know that man just now? It looks like you have a close relationship with him. He is completely my type and even looks so fucking hot when he’s angry. When he grabbed my hand just now, my shoulder touched his chest, so hard, no, I’m going to faint… So, can you help me and ask for his WeChat?”
Xu Sui was drinking wine, and when she heard those words, she suddenly choked her throat, coughing violently, and couldn’t breathe. Li Yang immediately patted her back caringly and handed her a tissue.
After a while, Xu Sui finally calmed down and took the tissue, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes: “No.”
“Why not ah?”
“We don’t know each other well,” Xu Sui said, her eyes a little red from coughing.
And she had drawn a clear line just now. With Zhou Jingze’s prideful personality, he would definitely not talk to her again.
“Please, Sui Sui, it’s rare for me to meet such a good man of my appetite. Such a handsome man with single eyelids. If I let him slip, I will die of regret, and I just fell out of love.”
“He’s a straight man.” Xu Sui’s tone was helpless.
Zhou Jingze is really a disaster. After so many years, there are still people who will die for him, even attracting men.
“I have the confidence to turn him.” Li Yang was confident in his appearance. He pulled out his trump card, “Don’t you always want the live ticket for that movie conference? I’ll help you get it.”
She had really been thinking about that site conference.
“But he is very picky, hard to chase, and if you can’t get him, you’ll suffer from him.” Xu Sui was about to say this but stopped when he met Li Yang’s anticipating eyes.
She shouldn’t pour cold water on it, right?
Li Yang seemed to see her hesitation and dilemma and patted her hand: “Aiya, don’t be pressured. Get his WeChat first, and we’ll talk about it if you can’t.”
If the business is not successful, he’ll treat it as if he has met one more handsome guy.
“I’ll give it a try.” Xu Sui put down her wine glass, and the lemon slices sank into the bottom of the glass.
Xu Sui stood up, bit the bullet, and walked towards the booth. The crowds were jammed, and the red and purple lights flashed over in turns. The sound of shaking cups, conversations, and illusory laughter brushed the ears from time to time.
Zhou Jingze sat in the booth, lowered his head, and stretched out his hands to light the cigarette. His wide palms covered half his face, revealing dark and sharp eyebrows.
Gray smoke fled out, and he held the cigarette in one hand while putting the lighter on the table. Someone whispered in his ear. Zhou Jingze slowly raised his eyelids and followed the gaze of the person beside him.
Xu Sui also looked over.
A group of people less than five meters away from Zhou Jingze’s table were quarreling. One of the fat men grabbed a beer bottle and threw it on the other’s head, causing the pieces to fly everywhere.
The two sides fought immediately, and the indifferent crowd could only watch. Those who wanted to pull apart the fight did not dare to step forward because the two groups fought too fiercely and in fear of accidentally hurting themselves.
The scene was chaotic. When the security guard came over, he couldn’t hold them back, but instead, his head was slammed.
The scene was too fierce and bloody. Zhou Jingze sat in the booth and lowered his eyes to play table soccer. Suddenly, a shard of glass flew over and just happened to hit him on the forehead.
When the sharp glass hit from the corner, a bloodstain appeared on Zhou Jingze’s brow bridge, and dark red blood gushed out immediately. Seeing this, Cheng You and another man stood up outraged, as if they were going to wrestle with these grandsons.
Zhou Jingze raised his hand and pressed them back to their seats. Standing not far away, Xu Sui saw him exchange a glance with Sheng Nanzhou. Actually, she was too familiar with that naughty smile on Zhou Jingze’s face.
Holding back a stomach full of bad water, not letting anyone off.
Zhou Jingze stood up, tore something off the opposite wall not far away, and then came back. He held two burning cigarettes in his hand and took two cigarettes from the men around the table; there was one already in his mouth.
There were a total of five.
Zhou Jingze threw the thing and the cigarettes into the group in a brawl. In less than five seconds, the smoke alarm made a loud noise.
The sound of the smoke alarm was sharp and high-pitched. A group of people covered their ears and looked everywhere for the alarm. Some people thought that something really happened and hurriedly fled screaming. The scene was chaotic.
Unaware of who shouted “Someone called the police!” the chaotic scene became even worse.
Sheng Nanzhou walked over, took advantage of the confusion to sneak into the crowd, and beat up the opponent before fleeing.
Xu Sui watched Zhou Jingze take a sip of wine and pick up the lighter and coat on the table before walking to the other side alone. A tall figure flashed past her. Xu Sui immediately followed him.
In the sea of people, heavy metal music was blasting in her ears. Xu Sui followed behind. She noticed that Zhou Jingze was walking very fast with his back facing her. The spinous process below the back of his head was apparent, revealing a slender neck.
She followed Zhou Jingze all the way. Seeing him go straight, turn left, and walk out of the pub through a side door. Xu Sui followed quickly, walking out of the side entrance and pushing open the door.
It turned out that the outside was a safe fire exit.
Xu Sui looked around, but there was nothing.
The person was gone.
She lost him.
Xu Sui lowered her long black eyelashes, and just as she was about to leave, an oppressive figure enveloped her and backed her against the wall. Zhou Jingze’s knees pressed and separated her legs, and Xu Sui’s entire body was pushed against the wall.
The breath was heavy, and the panting intertwined.
Zhou Jingze’s eyes were deep, with strong emotions and aggression, as if like prey, with undisguised desire in his eyes. Xu Sui only looked at him for barely three seconds before hurriedly looking away.
But the man didn’t intend to let her go.
Zhou Jingze clenched her chin with one hand, forcing her to look directly at him. A metallic voice sounded:
The breath on his body was too familiar and intrusive, and Xu Sui’s breathing was a little unstable. The angle of the two was really too flirtatious.
Zhou Jingze leaned against her, supporting himself against the wall with one hand. He turned her face, and within the control of her, his forehead quickly reached the tip of her nose and another inch closer.
He could kiss her.
Xu Sui felt a little regretful. Why did she soft-heartedly agree to Li Yang’s request and let herself be caught in a passive situation just for an on-site ticket?
She cleared her throat and turned her face away: “My friend, his name is Li Yang. He wants to add you on WeChat.”
“Didn’t you say we don’t know each other?” Zhou Jingze still refused to let her go.
“You can give it if you want to, and if you don’t want to, then never mind.” Xu Sui patted his hand away.
Catching him off guard, Xu escaped from under his arm, and the distance between the two suddenly widened. She retreated to the side. The voice-activated lamp lightened, and her eyes suddenly brightened, breaking up the intimacy just now.
Xu Sui held her phone and texted Li Yang’s WeChat, typing in the chat box: 【No play.】Just as she was about to walk back, Zhou Jingze stood in front of her and grabbed her arm to prevent her from leaving.
“Don’t you want my WeChat? But you have to add me first, and then share it with him.” Zhou Jingze threw the phone at her.
Xu Sui nodded bluntly and turned her back away with his phone to do it. After being given an empty number last time, Zhou Jingze knew her little schemes. She probably just scanned the QR code as a gesture but didn’t click to add, and as if raising his hand and grabbing onto her ponytail, he said in a low voice,
“I’ll watch you add.”
Under Zhou Jingze’s gaze, Xu Sui had no choice but to add his WeChat. After the task was completed, Xu Sui immediately left the fire safety passage.
Zhou Jingze held his phone and exited from the other side. On the roadside, Zhou Jingze stood under the dusky light. He swiped his thumb on the screen and sent a message to Sheng Nanzhou: 【Come pick me up at the intersection. 】
Ten minutes later, Sheng Nanzhou appeared in front of him in a Maybach. Zhou Jingze opened the car door, sat in, and looked down at his phone, never raising his head again.
Sheng Nanzhou: “? Why don’t you sit in the front seat, am I your driver?”
“Aren’t you?” Zhou Jingze replied.
“Get out of the car! Don’t you have a car yourself?”
Zhou Jingze was still looking down at the phone: “Didn’t I tell you that I took my car to get repaired?”
He pressed his thumb on the phone screen and clicked into his WeChat conversation with Xu Sui, probing by sending a text of six periods. The next second, a huge exclamation mark displayed:
You are not friends with the other party, and the other party has turned on their friend verification.
Zhou Jingze’s face was gloomy, and he narrowed his eyes. Okay, remove after use. Xu Sui, grew some skills huh.
