Chapter 16 Satan (n/p) He is worse than anyone else...
You Wu's brain froze for two seconds, then she came back to her senses immediately. She stared at Ke Yanlou with a frown.
As Ke Yanlou was hidden in the gray shadows, she could only see a vague outline, and his clear eyes were like an eagle's eyes lurking in the darkness.
You Wu couldn't tell how she felt. She didn't expect Ke Yanlou to tell her about this.
Is this the only thing on a man's mind?
You Wu's voice was unremarkable: "Here?"
Ke Yanlou supported his right hand on the wall, his body slightly bent forward, forming a semicircle, like an arc framing You Wu.
Ke Yanlou was also indifferent: "Well, here."
You Wu sneered: "Do you have to do it?"
Ke Yanlou's pupils were dark, without any other color: "I want to do it."
In the narrow corner, the heartbeat is like a drum, making people forget the passage of time.
It took You Wu a long time before he looked up at Ke Yanlou. His expression was calm, but one could still hear the gnashing of teeth in his voice.
She said: "I'm not the lady you ordered, and ladies have to choose according to the occasion, right?"
Ke Yanlou seemed to have heard something funny and laughed very quietly in the quiet air, but soon returned to his usual indifference.
He withdrew his hands from the wall, then without even looking at You Wu, turned around and sat down on the sofa.
Ke Yanlou tilted his head to glance at You Wu who was still huddled in the corner, and reminded him, "I asked you if you want to sit on the sofa."
As if he was afraid that You Wu didn't understand clearly, Ke Yanlou asked as he closed his eyes for a rest: "Aren't you tired from standing for so long?"
It seemed as if all I had been thinking about from the beginning to the end was just wandering fog.
You Wu's cheeks turned slightly red. She admitted that she had thought too much, but was there no suspicion that Ke Yanlou had misled people?
It's hard to say. When Wu Yue later discovered that Ke Yanlou smoked, while he, a gangster with countless younger brothers, didn't smoke, he quietly commented on Ke Yanlou to You Wu - "This good student lives up to his name."
"Ke Yanlou, a square and proper name, seems like it will never make mistakes, nor will it do anything out of line."
"In fact, our model student may be worse than anyone else behind the scenes."
You Wu felt that what Wu Yue said made sense at that time.
When Ke Yanlou was in high school, he didn't talk much and didn't like to laugh. But every time You Wu met him outside of school, he seemed like a different person. He always had a smile on his face, but it seemed like he was using the smile to cover up his dark and cold heart.
Not once did his smile seem genuine.
Except for that one time.
The kindness of being picked up and brought home by You Wu did not seem to change Ke Yanlou's attitude towards You Wu.
He was still cold and expressionless, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry from his smile.
A week later, Sichuan and Chongqing were caught off guard by the tail of the autumn heat in October. In the stuffy early autumn, You Wu had just finished his part-time job and was about to go to the hospital to deliver food to Xu Qiongfang when he saw an uninvited guest at the door of his house.
The man was wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt, black shorts, and a pair of black rubber slippers. He was standing at the entrance of the corridor where You Wu lived, holding a choking, low-quality cigarette in his hand.
Whenever he met someone, he would ask, "Have you ever seen a high school girl who is about 16 or 17 years old?"
Fortunately, the man had never seen You Wu, so he shook his head.
You Wu felt like he had fallen into water and couldn't breathe.
The man was still standing in the corridor, pacing back and forth, cursing: "You little bitch, I don't know where you are hiding, don't let me find you."
You Wu didn't dare to expose his whereabouts, so he turned around and ran back to school carefully.
She didn't dare look back or look at the man.
The man called "Father".
She was knocked to the ground several times. You Wu resisted but was beaten black and blue. The next day, when her classmates asked her what happened to her face, she could only smile and say, "I hit my head against the wall."
The man was like a devil, trying to grab her and You Wu's mother and suck their blood.
You Wu's mother Zhou Xin couldn't stand You Mingqi anymore, so she passed away quietly that night when You Wu was sleeping.
In fact, You Wu was not asleep. She listened to her mother sobbing softly in the rainy night, and saw from her shadow that her mother looked back at her on the bed countless times, and finally turned away resolutely.
You Wu hugged the quilt and cried silently all night.
You Mingqi didn't care about You Wu's life or death. One day, when he was not paying attention, You Wu left Sichuan and ran to Chongqing to live with her grandmother.
She cut off all means of contact, and she was also glad that You Mingqi only wanted to drink and gamble and would not look for her.
But today, the devil came.
You Wu didn't dare go home, nor did he dare go to the hospital to find Xu Qiongfang.
She was afraid that You Mingqi would follow her to the hospital. Xu Qiongfang was old, and she didn't dare to take the risk.
You Wu had no choice but to go back to school. She ran to the rooftop. The sky was a blurry yellow, the wind was an unreachable net, and the heaven and earth were her home. It seemed as if You Wu was the only one left in the whole world. Only at this moment did You Wu feel that she was alive.
She sat on the ground holding her patched schoolbag, her school pants covered in dust.
The wind on the rooftop was very strong, blowing You Wu's hair. She didn't want to cry at all, but tears always flowed from the corners of her eyes.
You Wu thought that he must have drunk too much water at school, so it overflowed.
She is not wronged, she is not afraid, and she will not cry for others.
She was only sixteen, and she was already doing better than a lot of people.
You Wu lowered her head and saw her hands covered with frostbite and traces of oil burns on the back of her hands. She was so young and she didn't know how many years she had worked.
While sobbing, she took out the physics questions from her schoolbag. She didn't know how to do them in the first place, and she got even worse because of her panic. You Wu was so anxious that she burst into tears.
Tears fell onto the exercise book, wetting the pages.
The last bit of light in the sky fell, You Wu took out a flashlight and continued to work on the problem, but he still couldn't figure it out.
“Snap!”
A paper ball fell on You Wu's exercise book.
She looked up but could only see the sky.
You Wu slowly unwrapped the ball of paper, on which was written clearly the solution to the physics problem that was bothering her.
You Wu was shocked. Is there a ghost? !
You Wu stood up suddenly, holding her schoolbag, and looked around, but she was the only one around!
You Wu felt a cold and wet itch on his back.
"Who!" You Wu crumpled up the physics workbook and waved it around as a weapon for self-defense.
She closed her eyes tightly, fearing that she would run into a female ghost with her tongue sticking out if she turned around.
Blame her for being bad at it and loving to watch it.
I've watched a lot of horror movies, and my imagination is really rich.
"Bang!" You Wu's book hit something hard.
"Ah! Ghost!" You Wu waved forward.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed You Wu's wrist. The hand was warm and strong.
Then there was a very light voice: "It's me."
The boy's cold voice woke You Wu up.
You Wu opened his eyes and saw Ke Yanlou standing in the dark, with the light of the flashlight shining on half of his face.
His school uniform was wrinkled by You Wu, and the buttons on his collar were unbuttoned, revealing a large area of skin. He happened to be standing with his back to the light, and his expression was gloomy when he looked at You Wu.
You Wu blew his nose and suddenly felt that Ke Yanlou was no different from a ghost.
She put down her hand. She was not in the mood to talk more to Ke Yanlou today.
She also didn't want others to see her embarrassment.
Ke Yanlou didn't seem to have anything to say to her, and the solution to the physics problem he just gave her seemed accidental.
Ke Yanlou didn't ask much about You Wu. Both of them just regarded the terrace as a temporary safe haven.
But You Wu still had to do the exercises, and she was really being driven crazy.
I can’t go home and I can’t do the questions.
You Wu hugged his legs, squatted in the corner, and cried helplessly.
She didn't make much noise when she cried because at home she would be beaten even more severely if she cried too loudly.
The flashlight fell aside, just illuminating her face. Her eyes were swollen like double eyelids, and she was still holding a pen in her hand, looking very aggrieved.
Ke Yanlou stared at You Wu who was crying alone, took off the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, and laughed out loud for the first time without any teasing: "You are crying cat tears."
...
It was exactly eight o'clock in the evening when they arrived in Macau. Originally, there was a special car to pick up You Wu and Ke Yanlou to take them to the hotel, but when You Wu saw that the car that came to pick them up was a Rolls-Royce, You Wu was sure that this was not the car she ordered.
Ke Yanlou tampered with the plan midway.
There is no public fund to afford the money to hire someone to take over.
You Wu chose to take a taxi by himself.
She can't afford a Rolls-Royce.
Ke Yanlou walked straight past You Wu. The driver opened the car door for Ke Yanlou. Ke Yanlou got in but did not close the door immediately.
He didn't even raise his head, as if he was talking to the driver, but not really.
He said: "Taxi is not cheap in Macau, you can try it."
As soon as Ke Yanlou finished speaking, You Wu turned around and came back, tilted his head and smiled at Ke Yanlou, "Mr. Ke, do you mind if I take your car for a while?"
Ke Yanlou was still reading medical literature, and did not raise his eyes. He said calmly, "Mind."
You Wu: “…”
In the end, You Wu still got into Ke Yanlou's car. Of course, it was the driver who was very considerate and took the initiative to invite You Wu and give him a way out.
Originally, You Wu wanted to sit in the front passenger seat, but the driver said that the front passenger seat was temporarily closed to anyone.
You Wu felt strange, why couldn't someone sit in the passenger seat?
But she was the passive party and couldn't ask too many questions, so she had to sit in the back row.
Ke Yanlou sat next to her. They were very far apart, yet seemed very close.
You Wu tilted her head to look at the reflection outside the window. The giant lion of MGM slid past her eyes. Indistinguishable colorful waves flickered in the night sky. The lights never stopped. The hot wind was like the blood of this city, hot and full of vitality.
She never thought that she would be able to set foot on this valuable land.
At least not when she was in high school and had to eat one meal a day to save money.
She saw the delicate fingers of the beautiful woman outside the car window. She lowered her eyelashes and saw tiny scars on her own fingers. Those hidden sores would never go away.
Everything outside the car window passed through her eyes like a movie.
She really wanted to see more of this bustling place, but she was too sleepy, and the slow speed of the car made her fall into a drowsy state.
In a daze, You Wu felt that he had come to Macau on a business trip and that he had to fall into Ke Yan's trap.
He could definitely guess that You Wu would choose to go on a business trip.
She can't always be the one who loses. She should listen to Cheng Xue and play a game.
When she made this decision, she felt a faint scent of orange and bitter orange wafting towards her.
At the same time, a man's clear voice sounded in her ears, and he seemed to be speaking Cantonese, asking someone to turn up the temperature?
...
"Hi, hi, why don't you go to MGM?" Chen Jiayu and You Wu were video chatting. You Wu stroked his hair and responded to Chen Jiayu while packing his suitcase.
"I'm too lazy to move. I have to meet a client tomorrow."
Chen Jiayu: "You rarely go out. This is called a public-funded trip. Do you understand? You are so lucky!"
You Wu sneered: "Do you want this blessing?"
Chen Jiayu shook her head: "I don't want to. I don't want to be with Mr. Xiao Ke. I always feel that he looks easy to talk to, but he is actually an ice cube. I don't dare."
You Wu supported Chen Jiayu's evaluation in her heart, but in the end she couldn't persuade Chen Jiayu. She was urged to go to the casino just after she packed her clothes.
The hotel she and Ke Yanlou stayed in was not the one she had booked before, so You Wu had to follow the map if she wanted to go to the casino.
However, the place shown on the map was clearly very close to her, but she still walked around for half an hour before she got there.
As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by the aroma. The entire hall is surrounded by the light fragrance. The casino is full of fragrance day and night, and it is easy to get lost in it and completely forget about the outside world.
The casino is not just a separate gambling venue, but is integrated with the mall hotel. When You Wu passed by a store, she inadvertently glanced at the red dress in the cupboard. The price tag was 300,000, which made her think that she had counted the wrong 0.
She finally found the casino, but was told that she was not allowed to take pictures. Chen Jiayu had no choice but to hang up WeChat.
The casino was different from what she had imagined. There were no beautiful dealers in revealing clothes. All the dealers were dressed normally. The gamblers were not big names, but dressed in low-key shorts and short sleeves. Some even carried plastic bags. It was not like what was shown in the movies.
You Wu doesn't know how to gamble, but she still feels a little itchy when the dealer waves at her. In fact, she even thinks twice about playing slot machines.
She has never been a gambler or someone who takes risks.
There is nothing fun in the casino without gambling. You Wu just took a bottle of mineral water and stood in front of the gambling table to take a look.
A man in the crowd suddenly said to You Wu, "Want to bet, pretty lady?"
You Wu chuckled and was not fooled by these.
The man persisted: "The beauty is wearing red today, it must be a good omen!"
You Wu remained silent. Although she was interested in gambling, she didn't dare to gamble.
The man seemed to want to urge You Wu on, so You Wu simply turned around, only to run into a familiar wall of people.
The familiar orange scent on the man diluted the money-grubbing smell of the casino.
Ke Yanlou put his hands in his pockets and took two steps back slowly, putting some distance between him and You Wu, looking very gentlemanly. He had a card in his hand that came from nowhere, and it was held between his slender fingers, and the card was like a butterfly flying around his fingertips.
You Wu suspected that Ke Yanlou was really a ghost, otherwise why would he always appear without anyone noticing?
You Wu pursed her lips: "I don't gamble."
Ke Yanlou raised his eyebrows, like Satan luring people into hell: "Why?"
You Wu said honestly: "I don't have any money."
Ke Yanlou seemed to have expected this. After hearing You Wu's answer, he lowered his head and chuckled. Then, the card at his fingertips suddenly flew in front of You Wu for some reason. You Wu subconsciously caught it, only to find that it was not a card, but a black card.
Ke Yanlou: "You are awesome for being able to finish this card today."
