Ning Caier could only follow the music playing on both sides of the street and ran frantically. She believed that he was not far away, but the music suddenly stopped, and the owner of the original shop had no choice but to remove the power cord and remove the battery inside the horn, in case the entire street was disturbed.
However, this stopped the last clue Ning Caier had. She walked aimlessly along the street, and in the end, could only return to her own shop. The ground there was slightly higher, and she might even be able to find where Han Yuqi was.
In order to be able to clearly see the scenery outside the window, Ning Caier did not turn on the light in her room, and stayed in front of the French window to silently observe. Finally, her hard work paid off, and she actually saw Han Yuqi at the bottom of her own shop.
Ning Caier dialed his number again, but this time her tone was full of laughter: "You don't miss home, that music just now, I also heard it back home, have you already returned?"
Ning Caier watched Han Yuqi's expression from the shadows, she planned to secretly circle behind him and scare him with a jump later. She had even planned to invite him to her new home, and when she thought that he would be her first guest here, her face couldn't help but flush red.
"Cai'er, I've been really busy lately. I'm still in the Milan, and won't be going back for a short period of time. You concentrate on designing. If I return, I will definitely call you."
Han Yuqi subconsciously lied, because he felt that it would be very awkward if he were to face Ning Caier directly, so he wanted to publicly meet her as much as possible, and wait until he arrived at the company before making public the news of his return. If he coincidentally couldn't meet Ning Caier, then even the matter of his return wouldn't be announced.
His reaction caused the corner of Ning Caier's mouth to gradually drop down, because she saw Han Yuqi's extremely conflicted expression. It was as if her question was a tough question to him, even the slowest person could feel that Han Yuqi was hiding from her. He didn't even want to meet her.
"Han Yuqi, I like you."
She only wanted to verify that she was right. If Han Yuqi clearly rejected her, she promised that she would never ever call him again.
Ning Caier's words had obviously stunned Han Yuqi. He stood there for a very long time without speaking and Ning Caier just silently looked at him from above. The surrounding time seemed to have frozen at this moment.
After a long while, Han Yuqi finally stammered into the phone, "Cai'er, I really can't hear you clearly over here. Let's talk another day."
She hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Such an obvious lie made Ning Caier want to cry, but in her heart, there was always a fantasy. Han Yuqi did not reject her explicitly, or perhaps it was because he did not have a good idea in his heart, and did not know whether to accept her, so he did not give her a clear answer.
"He doesn't love you. How long are you going to lie to yourself?"
Ouyang Jue had been in the shop since a long time ago, and when he saw everything Ning Caier did, he also saw Han Yuqi's reaction, and the answer was obvious, it was just that Ning Caier was not willing to face it.
"When did you arrive?" Ning Caier was shocked when she saw Ouyang Jue. She hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, as if someone had found out the biggest secret in her heart.
"I came early. Didn't you notice that the door to the shop was unlocked?" Ouyang Jue pointed to the door of the shop. Since it was not officially opened yet, they had to use the key to enter, but Ning Caier just directly pushed the door open to enter.
"I didn't notice it." Ning Caier anxiously wanted to leave, she was in too much of an awkward situation tonight, she did not want to see anyone right now, she only wanted to shut herself in her room.
"You'll run into him if you go out now." Ouyang Jue used his body to stop Ning Caier, he raised the wine cup in his hand, "Do you want to stay here and drink some red wine?"
Ning Caier felt that she could not change her young master's way of doing things no matter where she went. She was actually hiding red wine in the shop, but she really needed the stimulation of the alcohol right now, so she did not take the cup.
The fragrant red wine flowed down Ning Caier's throat, and there was a slight bitterness to it. This kind of red wine was sweet, then bitter, but to Ning Caier, the taste was not important at all. What she needed was alcohol, alcohol that could numb her nerves.
"Drinking wine like this is such a waste. This type of Bordeaux red wine must be tasted slowly."
Ouyang Jue quickly snatched Ning Caier's bottle of wine. The aftereffects of this wine were strong, it would only take her ten minutes to get drunk. The reason he gave her the wine was just to ease her depressed mood, but it didn't make her waste her body like this.
"Don't mind me, I just want to get drunk today." Ning Caier pushed Ouyang Jue's hand to the side. Only alcohol could make her forget about the pain in front of her eyes, she desperately wished that she could fall asleep in the next minute.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take advantage of you when you're drunk? I've been coveting you for a long time, you're no different from a jackal, a tiger, a wolf, a leopard."
Ouyang Jue did not return the bottle to Ning Caier, he only poured half a cup of red wine into the cup and passed it to her. Originally, he thought that if he said that, Ning Caier would be afraid, but she did not hesitate to drink the wine in the cup. The sorrow was greater than the death of her heart. She no longer even felt fear. She only wanted her thoughts to disappear completely.
"Why does he want to lie to me? He doesn't like me, so just say it directly. Why does he want to lie to me!?" He clearly came back, yet he told me that he was in the Milan, and why doesn't he even want to see me? "
In less than ten minutes, Ning Caier had finished drinking the entire bottle of red wine. She was even more drunk than last time, and completely lost all sense of reason as she cried in Ouyang Jue's arms.
Luckily, Ouyang Jue had stored a lot of red wine in there, which was enough for Ning Caier to drink until tomorrow morning. Within a short period of time, the two of them already had four to five empty wine bottles by her side, but no matter how much alcohol they drank, it would not be enough to quell the pain in her heart.
In Ning Caier's heart, she still could not forget Han Yuqi's conflicted expression. She felt that it was all her fault. Han Yuqi had helped her so much, but she had actually put him in such a difficult situation.
"Cai'er, can you be fair? I treat you very well, not one bit inferior to Han Yuqi."
Ouyang Jue had also drank quite a bit today, so when he heard that Ning Caier did not blame Han Yuqi, but instead herself, he immediately felt jealous.
"I know, you're good to me." After Ning Caier said the truth, she never denied that Ouyang Jue had given her money. Even though that sacrifice was purposeful, she still had to thank him well for bringing her into the business, "I'll treat you to a drink, I'll go get some wine."
Ouyang Jue could only do it for his, but she rarely praised him, so he did not want her to fall asleep so quickly. Hence, he brought his champagne that he had prepared for the official opening ceremony the next day, not red wine, which did not have much alcohol in it, so no matter how much he drank, it would be fine.
Sure enough, Ning Caier could not differentiate anything as she continuously gulped down the bottle of champagne. She leaned onto Ouyang Jue's body and muttered to herself unceasingly, "Why don't I like you? If the one I like is you, then there's no need to suffer so much."
"You will like me, Cai'er. I will be waiting for you." Ouyang Jue's body also gradually slid down to the ground. The floor at night was a little cold, and they were all instinctively searching for each other's bodies, and just like that, they hugged.
was woken up by the heat. She subconsciously undid her collar, allowing the slightly cold air to seep in slowly. Her body was in a alternating state of cold and heat.
Ning Caier didn't remember drinking with Ouyang Jue in the store. She thought that she was lying on his bed. Therefore, she turned around and rubbed the pillow under her head. She felt that today's pillow was exceptionally comfortable, and that its softness and hardness could be used to treat the cervical spine.
But when Ning Caier opened his eyes, he almost shouted out loud, because she was not lying on top of a pillow at all, but on top of a bare chest.
She was actually sleeping together with Ouyang Jue!
Ouyang Jue had not woken up yet, but his clothes were already completely untied and a thin layer of sweat was flowing from his body due to the heat. When Ning Caier saw the two's messy clothes, her mind buzzed.
"Get up."
Ning Caier poked Ouyang Jue with a wine bottle. She felt that she had been a sinner for thousands of years now and it would be even worse if she let Han Yuqi down, but she couldn't be sure whether it had happened or not. Hence, she could only wake Ouyang Jue up and ask him to help her recall what had happened.
"I drank a broken piece last night, how could I remember doing anything?"
Ouyang Jue rubbed his sore neck as he stood up. The scene in front of him was like a battle scene, no wonder Ning Caier felt uneasy.
However, Ouyang Jue knew that he hadn't done anything, he had merely spent the night drunk on the floor, but he wanted to tease Ning Caier, so he purposely said that he didn't remember anything.
"You're so experienced, how could you not remember?" Ning Caier was so excited that she couldn't even speak. When she saw the multiple bruises on her thighs, she suddenly felt that she was finished. If she hadn't done some intense exercise last night, how could her legs have ended up like this?
"This has nothing to do with experience. It's about alcohol consumption."
Ouyang Jue felt that Ning Caier's words were extremely funny, but she was too confused, she couldn't even understand such a thing. But such a simple girl made him feel even more adorable.
Ouyang Jue put on his clothes, took out a bottle of brandy from the chest, and rubbed on Ning Caier's bruises. This kind of wine could stimulate the blood flow, and cure the blood stasis, it was no worse than medicine. In fact, the injuries on her leg were all caused by her walking around the house messily after she was drunk. However, Ouyang Jue could tell from her expression that she wanted to go wrong. So he wanted to make Ning Caier completely obedient.
However, Ning Caier's personality was not that easy to submit to. She snatched the brandy in Ouyang Jue's hands and rubbed it onto the wounds, which made her feel that something was wrong. This was because her wounds were all on the outside of her thighs and arms.
It was only then that Ning Caier realized that Ouyang Jue was probably lying to her. Indeed, she had only glanced at him for a second, but Ouyang Jue had already fallen to the ground laughing uncontrollably.
