Chapter 10: Lost in the Mist (p) You know my secret...
You Wu is rarely stumped by questions.
If anyone was to blame, it was only because Ke Yanlou's eyes were too bewitching, causing her to be speechless for a moment.
This kind of aphasia happened once seven years ago.
...
At that time, You Wu worked part-time jobs everywhere to make money. She was not yet an adult, so no formal place wanted her.
So she found a job as a waitress in a bar.
The boss Cheng Xue was a gentle girl, and when she saw You Wu, she knew that this face would be popular anywhere. But Cheng Xue rejected You Wu, after all, it was a place where alcohol was involved, and the girl would inevitably be bullied.
But You Wu, with her schoolbag on her back and her hair tied in a ponytail, stared straight at Cheng Xue: "Boss, I really need this job. I can protect myself."
Cheng Xue was stunned by You Wu's words at the time and was tricked into agreeing.
As for You Wu's method of protecting himself...
When You Wu walked into the store wearing a pair of extremely tacky cropped pants, a short-sleeved shirt covered in sequins, and a cheap pink wig, Cheng Xue opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Cheng Xue tugged at You Wu's clothes and almost got her hand scratched by the sequins on her shoulder.
"You..." Cheng Xue chuckled helplessly, thinking You Wu was stubborn and cute: "Do you really think I would let a little girl like you serve wine to those foul-mouthed people? If you dress like this, someone who doesn't know you would think you are the landlady."
Cheng Xue found a black skirt in the lounge and handed it to You Wu: "Put it on, and go to the fifth floor to help serve wine and water. The fifth floor only receives regular customers, mostly rich young men and young ladies from wealthy families, so it won't stink. Just go up and talk less, and do your work."
You Wu nodded and went into the lounge to change his clothes.
Black is a very dull color, but it neutralizes the color very well on You Wu, a girl who is surprisingly fierce.
The skirt was wrapped around the girl's waist, with a white camellia on her waist that swayed with her movements.
Cheng Xue stared at You Wu's face and took out the lipstick and dabbed it on her lips.
"Sister Xue!" You Wu put on lipstick for the first time.
Cheng Xue touched You Wu's lips and said, "If I had a face like yours, I would just put on lipstick and go out."
You Wu wiped his nose and said, "It's not that exaggerated."
Cheng Xue said, "Okay, take off your shabby wig and go upstairs."
You Wu tilted his head and smiled slyly: "No, I want pink hair."
After saying that, she ran to the fifth floor.
Cheng Xue cried out "Ah!", but in the bar full of lights and feasting, there was only the deafening drumbeats, which could not be drowned out by Cheng Xue's shouts.
...The fifth floor was unexpectedly quiet. As soon as You Wu stepped out of the elevator, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The fifth floor is a large open-air platform. The infinity blue swimming pool in the center of the platform is illuminated by the surrounding colorful lights, making it look like a small beach on summer nights.
There are swimming rings of different colors floating in the swimming pool, and men and women are mixed together, but they are not filled with primitive desires like the men and women in the bar, but just hugging each other and enjoying the carnival of the summer night.
A group of young boys and girls were sitting on the sofa by the swimming pool. They were wearing obviously custom-made clothes, because the common LV and Hermes were thrown on the ground at random, and the big-brand logo bags were piled up next to them like garbage bags.
The high-brand bag thrown on the ground just separated You Wu, like a door that he couldn't step through.
"New here? Come on, don't just stand there, bring the wine." A guy in waiter's uniform hurriedly stuffed the wine into You Wu's arms.
You Wu followed the instructions and turned a corner, only to find that there was a booth here.
Most of the people sitting in the booths here are men, most of them foreigners, as handsome as sculptures, and their ordinary clothes give them an old money vibe.
At first glance, You Wu had a great visual impact.
However, among the crowd of European faces, under the warm yellow light, You Wu caught his eye with an Asian face.
Gao Zhi has an indifferent look and narrow eyes that show his sharpness, but when he purses his lips slightly, the shallow dimples on his cheeks reveal his boyish innocence, which is contradictory yet alluring.
Ke Yanlou is indeed such a person.
As light and shadow interweave, the ice cubes in the wine glass make clear sounds as they hit the quilt.
You Wu didn't expect to meet Ke Yanlou here.
Ke Yanlou was crowded in the center of the crowd, leaning lazily on the sofa, out of tune with the noise around him.
As if he was aware of the gaze, Ke Yanlou turned around subconsciously and his eyes met You Wu's.
You Wu felt a little guilty for some reason.
You Wu lowered her head and walked quickly forward to deliver the water. She felt that Ke Yanlou would not be able to recognize her. After all, her pink wig, which was so exaggerated that she could make a debut on the spot, was too confusing.
Just as You Wu was about to pour the wine, someone whistled at him.
Then the boy's sweet English voice came: "sweetheart!"
Seeing You Wu didn't respond, the boy said in broken Chinese: "Sweetheart?"
You Wu pretended not to hear.
The boy felt a little aggrieved, and turned his head to Ke Yanlou and said, "Oh gosh, my sweetheart ignored me, what can I do?"
Ke Yanlou held the wine glass in his right hand and shook it slightly. The ice cubes swirled in the water, reflecting the smile on the young man's lips: "I can't help you."
Boy: “What?”
You Wu almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Ke Yanlou was a bad-hearted man. He used idioms with someone who didn't know much Chinese. How could he understand them?
The boy didn't give up and poked Ke Yanlou: "Help me, please! You will definitely chase girls, right?"
You Wu pricked up his ears to hear these words.
Ke Yanlou is chasing someone?
She was a little afraid to think...
Who is so unlucky to be chased by him?
The boy is still pestering Ke Yanlou.
You Wu didn't want to stay any longer. She picked up the tray and stood up, keeping her back to Ke Yanlou, so she didn't notice that the person behind her had already circled around and walked up to her.
You Wu crashed into the human wall with a bang.
"Ouch." You Wu covered his forehead and looked up to find that it was Ke Yanlou.
Ke Yanlou lowered his eyes, perhaps because of the drinking, his whole body was covered with a light desire.
You Wu was afraid that Ke Yanlou would recognize her. Although there was nothing shameful about working in a bar, she was a student after all. If the news got out, she would definitely lose her job, so she rarely lowered her head.
But as soon as she lowered her head, someone lifted her chin with the index finger.
Ke Yanlou uttered a light "tsk". "What are you hiding? I'm not blind."
The boy's finger bones hooked You Wu's chin, the force was neither light nor heavy but enough to make You Wu raise his head.
He looked You Wu up and down.
The girl's skirt was not tight-fitting. It was too big and she was too thin, which looked a little funny at first glance. However, the waist under the fabric diluted the absurdity and made her look more charming.
She only put on lipstick, and her face was a little pale due to poor blood circulation, which just highlighted the bright color on her lips.
Ke Yanlou stared at You Wu and said, as if it were a simple greeting between classmates: "You've been doing well here recently."
You Wu curled his lips and didn't want to respond.
Ke Yanlou: "I'm asking you a question."
The tone was gentle, with a smile but without allowing for argument.
You Wu: "Why are you in charge of me? Even the Pacific Police don't have as wide a control as you do?"
Ke Yanlou frowned slightly: "How do you talk to guests like that?"
You Wu turned his head to avoid Ke Yanlou's sight: "How do you talk to your classmates like this?"
Ke Yanlou sneered: "You still know that you are a student, and you come here to get a high position."
You Wu wore pink twin ponytails, looking like a bad girl. Of course, because the wig was too rough, it looked a bit rustic.
It was really hateful that Ke Yanlou could recognize her like this.
After all, her progress in the quest line of pursuing Ke Yanlou may still be in the initial stage.
Ke Yanlou must be quite annoyed with her.
You Wu simply threw in the towel and said to Ke Yanlou, "Aren't you the same? You're a good kid in the eyes of the teachers at school, but you come here to drink, don't you?"
You Wu spoke so quickly that it was difficult for Ke Yanlou not to focus on her lips.
Opening and closing, the cherries in early summer are just like this.
Cherries are sweet and sour, so what do the cherries here taste like?
The wind blew, lifting Youwu's pink ponytail.
At the same time, Ke Yanlou also withdrew his gaze.
You Wu continued: "You don't want the teacher and other classmates to know that you are like this in private, right?"
Ke Yanlou stared at her and said calmly: "Are you threatening me?"
You Wu shrugged: "I don't have any."
Half a minute later, there was sudden rhythmic music from the swimming pool.
Ke Yanlou seemed to be really stuck by the problem. He lowered his head as if resigned to his fate, then raised it again, with a trace of tears pressing on his forehead, looking quite depressed.
He looked at the wandering fog, his eyes stained by the dampness of the summer night, looking wet, and just in time the orange-yellow light was cut to red.
At first glance, Ke Yanlou looked like an evil spirit in a Western story, gloomy and unpredictable, but his eyes looked innocent, and You Wu was stunned for a moment.
He said, "What if you know the secret?"
As Ke Yanlou spoke, he took a step forward, and You Wu could only retreat.
He advances and she retreats.
The Grim Reaper's scythe pressed down in front of her.
When You Wu retreated to the wall with nowhere to go, Ke Yanlou lowered his body, with the wine glass resting on You Wu's shoulder, the cool touch of which touched her ear.
Ke Yanlou said helplessly: "Are you going to tell anyone about my secret?"
Before You Wu could answer, Ke Yanlou continued, "Can you bear it?"
You Wu: "Of course I can bear it."
Ke Yanlou smiled and said, "I'll give you hush money, okay?"
When he said "OK?" he drew out the last syllable and it really sounded like he was begging, but You Wu couldn't detect any fear in him.
Ke Yanlou tilted his head and raised an eyebrow at You Wu: "Forget it, I can't give you hush money. Don't you like me? How about sexual compensation?"
