The moonlight poured down, pushing away the layers of thick fog. It was gentle and tranquil, with a kind of deep beauty.
Paris was now a romantic city, lit up with the allure of the night. The lights were dim and colorful, as if no one could remember sleeping.
In the largest bar in the city, a drunk Chinese girl cried with restraint. Although he was sad, he didn't go crazy like the poor drinkers. He just silently sobbed in a corner.
"Why doesn't big brother Yi Heng want me? "Why?" She was still holding a glass of whisky in her hand, and tears were streaming down her cheeks.
The thought of Zuo Zixian coming out of his apartment to open the door to her, still in his slippers, made her heart ache even more.
"Why am I not the one living in Yi Heng's brother's apartment?" She held the cup in front of her with tears in her eyes and mumbled questions, but no one would give her an answer.
Her tears kept rolling down like beads, and her mind was filled with the image of Ling Yiheng.
Why was it that even after all these efforts, she still could not approach him? They were clearly engaged!
Mika raised her head and downed the whiskey in one gulp. Her tears followed her movements, rolling down her face to her chin. Her makeup was a little flowery, and a faint color had appeared on her flushed cheeks from the alcohol.
"Hello, would you please bring me another bottle of whiskey?" Mika put down her glass and spoke to the bartender in English. Even though he was drunk, he still maintained his manners.
The tall French bartender looked at her carefully and said in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to drink more, miss?"
She had already drunk a bottle of whisky and a bottle of brandy, and was a bit out of her mind now, so as a staff member, of course, she had to consider the health of her customers.
Most of the time, though, it was because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to pay when she was drunk.
"I want some, thank you." Mika insists, she can't think of anything else besides drinking that can stop her from thinking about Ling Yiheng.
Although she was thinking about him now, she believed that as long as she was drunk, she would be able to relax.
Didn't people say that they would use alcohol to dispel their worries? She was going to give it a try today.
The bartender saw her insistence so he didn't try to persuade her further. He silently took a bottle of whiskey and helped her open it. Then, he poured a cup and passed it to her.
Mika seemed pleased with his gesture and thanked him profusely, even as she handed him two euros worth 50.
No one disliked money, so naturally did the bartender, who accepted it with a smile and told her to call him if she needed it.
This scene fell into the eyes of a handsome French man sitting at the corner of the bar, who was looking with interest at the side of Mika's face.
Mika sniffed, wiped her cheeks with a tissue, and picked up her glass again.
Her messy hair was in disarray and her watery eyes were still deep and hazy. An indescribable temptation was seeping out from her entire body.
This, however, she did not seem to notice.
She picked up her glass and took another sip. Her red lips became even more alluring because of the wine. It seemed as if her lips were even more alluring, like a rose blooming in the middle of the night, full of charm.
In fact, she rarely drank. Even if she did, she would accompany her parents or aunts to some social gatherings. She rarely drank alone.
By now, she was drunk and confused.
"Big brother Yi Heng, why didn't you come find me? I... What am I not good at? You... "Yes, you can …" "Ah …" As she spoke, she burped a few times. With a frown, she felt her stomach churning.
It felt really bad. This was her biggest feeling right now.
Then she felt the urge to vomit, but there was a lingering sense of sanity that kept her from puking at the bar.
However, her stomach kept churning and she almost couldn't take it anymore. She quickly covered her mouth without caring that her bag was still on the bar. She stumbled and rushed towards the restroom.
A gaze followed closely after her figure from a short distance away.
Mika's hands were covering her mouth. She was trying her best to stay awake, but her body was still swaying, as if she couldn't stand stably at all.
Along the way, she bumped into two bartenders, three customers who came to drink, apologized profusely, and even got scolded in a language she did not understand.
After walking for who knows how long, she finally saw the bathroom sign and rushed inside.
Closing the door to the toilet, she staggered and squatted down. A wave of nausea rushed up her body and she vomited yellow liquid into the toilet bowl as if she couldn't stop it.
Her hair was completely drenched in sweat. Strands of it were plastered on her cheeks. Her expression was extremely miserable.
Tears fell from her eyes, and she suddenly felt miserable.
She had never been this drunk in her life, and she had come to the bathroom to vomit so badly.
Mika was crying so hard that her makeup was all gone. Her eyeliner was smeared all over her eyes. It was pitch black, and she didn't have her usual ladylike appearance. She looked like a drunk lunatic.
She vomited into the toilet for a long time, until she felt her stomach empty.
However, because of the vomiting, she seemed to have used up all of her strength and was completely exhausted.
"No, I … I want to go back. " After sitting on the ground for a long time, Mika could still vaguely recall the flight home the next day.
"If I don't go back, big brother Yi Heng will definitely be very angry. I want... "Let's go back!"
She tried to prop herself up.
But the ground was so slippery that she accidentally hit the wall, lost her footing, and fell again.
Mika felt the world spin around her, and her knees hurt so much that she grimaced, and she felt like she was going to die.
She felt dizzy as she tried to find her shoes, but her knee hurt. She moved as if she were going to break.
In the end she had no choice but to bang on the door of the stall and shout in English, "Help, help, help!"
Her head hurt more and more, and her screams became weaker and weaker. Finally, the alcohol started to build up again, and Mika couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
However, before she lost her consciousness, she was silently chanting Ling Yiheng's name in her heart, hoping that he would appear in front of her.
"Boss, it's already 11. Quickly go back and rest." Zhou Heng looked at the time on his watch and reminded Ling Yiheng anxiously.
If this went on, he was really afraid that his Boss would go to the hospital, which would only make things more troublesome.
Furthermore, the doctor had clearly told him to try not to work anymore, but he refused to listen. After thinking for a while, he realized that it was all because of that Miss Zuo.
Ling Yiheng glanced back at Zhou Heng. Originally, he wanted him to go back and rest while he processed some documents.
However, just as he stopped tapping on the keyboard, he felt a headache and a sense of tiredness slowly crept up his body.
"Alright then, let's go back." He did not persist, afraid that he would fall again.
It was true that business was not so urgent, but it was just a shield he did not want to face in front of his own thoughts.
"Remember to take Mika to the airport tomorrow morning. You'd better watch her get on the plane through security." On the way, Ling Yiheng did not forget to instruct Zhou Heng on this matter.
If anything happened to Mika, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his mother and her aunt, so even if he didn't want to see her, he would still be concerned.
"Got it, Boss, I will." Zhou Heng nodded his head in agreement, but he was feeling apprehensive.
Actually, he had already made a few calls to Mika, but no one answered, so he was worried that something might have happened to Mika.
However, Ling Yi Heng was not in a good mood. It was already so late and he didn't want Ling Yi Heng to worry about him. He just wanted to send Ling Yi Heng back first before going to the Mika's place.
The place that Ling Yiheng had arranged for Mika was not far away, right next to the company in Paris, so it was easy to get there.
Ling Yiheng might have been admitted to the hospital after that day's experience with Guan Jiu and Zuo Zixian, and he was physically and mentally exhausted from such a long period of work. Thus, he didn't have the mood to notice Zhou Heng's slight abnormality.
Zhou Heng drove him back. He let Zhou Heng drive away so that he could take Mika to the airport the next day.
Sure enough, Zhou Heng's prediction was correct. When he arrived at Mika's hotel, he asked the front desk if she really had come back.
When Zhou Heng called her again, it was always with a busy tone.
He knew that the situation wasn't good, but he still couldn't make up his mind immediately. He didn't know whether he should inform Ling Yiheng or not.
He waited in front of the hotel for a while, but still couldn't find Mika, so he decided to call Ling Yiheng.
But as soon as he picked up the phone, a call came in. It was from Mika.
Zhou Heng immediately picked up the phone, "Hello, is this Miss Mika? Where are you now? "
Surprisingly, the voice that came from the other side was not Mika's, but a courteous foreign male's voice. He spoke to Zhou Heng in fluent English, "Hello, are you a friend of this lady? She fainted when she was drunk. Can you come and pick her up? "
Zhou Heng's heart shook and he immediately replied, "Yes, I would like to ask where you are right now. I will be right over. Thank you for taking care of her."
He then decided on the location with the other party and drove the car straight to that place.
When he saw Mika, Zhou Heng could not believe his eyes. Her clothes were intact, but her makeup was all gone. Her hair was messy like a ghost in a movie.
She would not have been able to stand up if she had not been carried by the gentle and handsome French man.
Zhou Heng thanked him profusely as he received the Mika from the man. He did not forget to exchange business cards with Mika so that he could contact her if anything happened after Mika woke up.
"Big brother Yi Heng, is that you?" While she was sleeping, Mika seemed to feel herself being lifted up and was yelling in a daze.
Zhou Heng sighed and didn't reply, directly carrying her into the car.
