Chapter 18: Is it hot to be hot?
She stopped beside the woman in the red dress, stared at her for two seconds, and because she was drunk, her voice was nasal and unhappy: "Who are you?"
The woman was puzzled: "What does this have to do with you?"
Wen Nian narrowed his eyes, then glanced at Xu Zhijian beside him, speaking in a more serious tone, emphasizing each word:
"who is she?"
The feeling of oppression is so strong that I almost want to pick up a knife.
If you don’t know, you might think it’s some large-scale adultery scene.
With the intention of watching the fun, many people cast their eyes over here.
Xu Zhijian, on the other hand, looked innocent, as if he had suffered some great injustice: "I don't know, she was just bullying me."
?
The woman couldn't believe her ears and her eyes widened: "Who bullied you?"
You just said it without hesitation, right? You don't even start a fire like this!
How shameless!
Being pushed to the forefront, she immediately became the focus of attention.
Wen Nian also turned from anger to rage, and turned his head to stare at her.
She has an advantage in height over women, and just standing in front of him has an overwhelming deterrent power.
"Why do you bully him?"
Faced with the harsh questioning, the woman subconsciously took a few steps back: "You, what are you doing?"
It would be a lie to say she wasn't scared. She could smell the strong smell of alcohol when she was one meter away from the man. Looking at his angry face, it was pure drunkenness.
There was no way she could gain the upper hand in a conflict with someone like that. Besides, Xu Zhijian obviously knew her, and the people around her were all his.
There is no one behind me.
The whispers gradually rose like a tide.
She didn't have the time to think about the relationship between the two. After being rejected tonight, she just wanted to leave this unlucky place as soon as possible.
So as to avoid being recognized and bringing shame to my father.
He quickly left a sentence "I don't want to talk to you bunch of psychopaths!", showing his integrity, and turned to leave.
The red skirt flashed before his eyes. Before she could start scolding, Wen Nian felt unconvinced and was about to grab her arm when a big hand grabbed his wrist.
The next second, she turned around and fell into Xu Zhijian's arms.
She struggled, shouting at the fleeting figure, "Don't go! Explain yourself clearly! Why are you bullying me? Are you seriously ill?"
Xu Zhijian smiled and adjusted her position on his lap, using his coat to hold down her restless legs.
"Okay, stop cursing, everyone has left."
"No! I'm going to scold her!" She said domineeringly, "No one can bully you except me!"
He didn't really care about insignificant people, just watching them for fun, but he was really happy to hear these words. He pulled her back to her original position and said, "Sit down. That's enough. You've scared people away."
Wen Nian then snorted and stopped moving around, but his face was still filled with anger and he was obviously unhappy.
Especially when she turned her head and found that many people were staring at her.
She was already feeling unwell, and seeing the malicious gaze made it even harder to control her temper.
"What are you looking at! Look at you—"
Xu Zhijian quickly covered her mouth and said to the people around him with a smile, "Sorry, the child doesn't like being stared at. You guys continue to play your own games and leave us alone."
Wen Nian muttered, "Mmmmm!"
A distinctive tone - damn it!
Although not a single word was spoken, one could still tell what was said.
Xu Zhijian leaned over and whispered a reminder: "Be civilized in public, Wen Xiaonian."
"Xu Zhijian, who is this? Why don't you introduce him?" someone started to make a fuss.
He smiled and said bluntly, "Is it hard to guess? My girlfriend, Wen Nian."
They were all people who had seen a lot of ups and downs, and no one would argue with a little girl, let alone someone like Xu Zhijian.
After a few jokes, everyone went back to having fun.
After finally finding out where Xu Zhijian was, Chen Qi stood outside the bar, panicking and preparing to make a call, but he heard these words as soon as he entered.
She recognized the voice that was etched into her mind in an instant.
My heart seemed to break suddenly.
She stood at the door in a daze, her eyes full of disbelief, her voice trembling: "Xu Zhijian...he...has a girlfriend?"
Miao Yu looked inside and covered her mouth in astonishment: "Isn't this Shen Wan's friend? She, she is...Xu Zhijian's girlfriend? Why didn't she tell us just now..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller.
Chen Qi didn't reply. He looked at the two of them for a long time, clenched his fists, and tried to hold back his tears. He sneered weakly, "Maybe they want to see me laugh."
"It's really ridiculous. Even the guy's girlfriend heard what he said from the heart. Maybe it became part of his play."
Miao Yu: "Qiqi...don't underestimate yourself."
Chen Qi turned around dejectedly, his heart aching like a knife, the pain unstoppable. The confidence he had finally regained fell from his high place again, shattered to pieces.
She had no hope of winning him over, she just wanted to tell him her feelings.
Unexpectedly, even this is no longer possible.
—
Inside, Wen Nian sat on Xu Zhijian's lap, with a cold face, pulling his tie and asking, "Did you touch her just now?"
It was rare to see Wen Nian drunk, so Xu Zhijian stared at her with interest and said, "No, I remember all three rules."
"Then tell me again."
"You can't touch other girls except you, you can't add girls on WeChat, and you can't talk to girls for more than ten minutes."
She nodded in satisfaction, finally exhausted, and collapsed in his arms.
"Xu Zhijian... I'm dizzy... How did she bully you just now? Otherwise, I'll scold her for you if I see her some other day."
Xu Zhijian rubbed her head: "Who told you to drink so much? Shen Wan is too irresponsible."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nian became unhappy.
He thrashed around on his hands and knees, retorting, "I didn't drink! Who did? I never drink, stop slandering me!"
"Also, who is Shen Wan? I don't know him."
After saying this, he collapsed again, closed his eyes and calmed his mind.
Her voice was muffled, as if she was acting coquettishly.
“…” Xu Zhijian was stunned.
Is this amnesia?
He laughed. It was the first time he had seen such symptoms after drinking.
It's a bit of a pity, as I thought she was using the alcohol to reveal her true feelings to him.
Finding it amusing, Xu Zhijian teased her, "Wen Nian, what year are you in this year?"
Without thinking, she said leisurely: "Junior year, senior year soon."
She was a little angry that he didn't even know this.
Junior year, 2020.
The year when Xu Zhijian treated her best.
"It's the second semester of my junior year." He seemed to be lost in thought, and suddenly felt a little nostalgic. At that time, Wen Nian liked to pester him all day long and had a strong desire to control him.
The memory was as clear as if it happened just yesterday, but when I think about it carefully, two years have passed, and they even experienced separation during this period.
And the possibility of almost saying goodbye forever.
Just thinking about it is scary.
I didn't expect that I could see her again now.
A feeling of trance came over me.
After staring at her for a long while, the bitterness on his lips gradually turned into an ambiguous smile: "So you are living with me now."
Wen Nian opened her eyes and met his gaze, accurately capturing the flash of grief, and her heart suddenly felt a sharp pain.
She was stunned and grabbed his hand, but didn't know what to say.
After thinking for a while, he nodded: "It seems so."
Xu Zhijian shook his hand back: "Then let's--"
Before he could even utter a word, he was interrupted by a howl: "Hey! Wen Xiaonian!"
Chang Jun came back with a plate and saw the two people huddled together with a strange look on his face: "You...what are you doing..."
After a moment, he understood and looked at Xu Zhijian as if asking: What means did you use?
Wen Nian shook his head and said, "Fatty?"
Xu Zhijian agreed unhappily: "Yes, he's just a fat guy with no sense of propriety."
Chang Jun was attacked for no apparent reason and was completely bewildered.
I wanted to spit back, but I felt that I shouldn't say bad words in front of girls, so I had to hold it in.
He bent down and handed the plate to Wen Nian, coaxing a child: "Want to eat cake? There are also fruits."
To Xu Zhijian who was about to reach out, he said: "You are not allowed to eat!"
"Tsk, how stingy."
Wen Nian's stomach was churning, as if on fire. He had no appetite at all. He politely pinched a green grape and said, "Thank you. Also, my name is not Wen Xiaonian, my name is Wen Nian."
"Really?" Chang Jun smiled. "I always thought your name was Wen Xiaonian. That's what Xu Zhijian called you."
She focused her eyes with difficulty, glanced at Xu Zhijian, and said bluntly: "He is sick."
Xu Zhijian tutted his words and pinched her: "You're still scolding me even when you're drunk. I think you're just feeling uncomfortable."
After she finished speaking, she immediately became depressed again, looking up to the sky and complaining: "It hurts..."
I remember now.
Xu Zhijian once said that his name has three characters, and his girlfriend's name must also have three characters, so he often calls her that.
As for why it was small... she couldn't remember for the moment.
I'm too lazy to think about it.
"It's so stuffy here, how about we go out and get some fresh air?"
"Okay, get up and we'll go."
"…Lie down for a while."
After eating his fill of dog food, Chang Jun walked in with his plate. Just as he was about to sit down, Ping Weichen said, "I'm really a little hungry. Let me have a bite."
"Go away, don't you have legs?"
Feeling that the voice sounded familiar, Wen Nian looked in the direction of the voice and stared at him for a few seconds.
Perhaps her gaze was too direct, Ping Weichen quickly noticed it and looked back.
He thought of something, but immediately retracted it, turned his head and hid his face, as if afraid that she would discover something.
Wen Nian: "Xu Zhijian."
"Um?"
She pointed at Ping Weichen and said, "That's a bad guy."
Xu Zhijian raised an eyebrow and glanced in the direction he was looking at without any emotion: "Yes, he is not a good person. Remember to stay away from him."
Ping Weichen: “…”
A bastard who forgets his friends for the sake of beauty!
At this moment, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter until he heard her say again: "He bullied me."
Xu Zhijian was stunned: "Bully you?"
"What's going on?"
Ping Weichen shuddered all over and quickly said, "Don't say anything careless, sister! We haven't even met before, who bullied you?"
"I think she was just drunk and thought I was her enemy."
Changjun snorted and laughed.
"Hey." Ping Weichen patted him: "What are you laughing at?"
Chang Jun chuckled: "It's okay, I'm just laughing at how ugly this cake looks."
“…problem.”
Xu Zhijian said in a deep voice, "Who are you calling sister? She's older than you."
"Then I'll call her sister."
"roll."
"Let's go? Let's get some fresh air." He turned around and asked Wen Nian.
She still stared at Ping Weichen.
That look really made him creepy.
I deeply regretted my rude words.
Although he was not afraid of Xu Zhijian, he did not want to provoke such a troublemaker.
Xu Zhijian: "Don't look at him, you don't know him."
After thinking for a long time, Wen Nian felt another sharp pain in her solar plexus. She simply stopped thinking and stood up with him. "It seems like we don't know each other. Let's go."
She couldn't stand steadily and could only lean on his arm.
Looking at the two people's backs as they walked away, Ping Weichen breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but mutter, "It's so delicious, Xu Zhijian."
It was the first time for him to see a girl of this age who looked pure, cute, humorous and natural.
What a pity...
"Why are you so jealous?" Chang Jun spat melon seeds in his face and said sarcastically, "Even if she doesn't have a partner, she still won't be interested in you."
"Isn't it disgusting?" Ping Weichen: "Who's jealous? Did I say I wanted to be noticed? Eat yours, you dead pig."
He just felt it was strange for a moment and had the bad intentions that all men have.
—
The sea breeze picked up again.
The two came to Xianghai Bar again.
Xu Zhijian tied her coat around Wen Nian's waist. She leaned over the railing, letting the sea breeze blow against her face. Her mind was much clearer, but she still felt like she was the 22-year-old Wen Nian.
"Good brew, good brew, good brew!"
Seeing her happy look, Xu Zhijian couldn't help but pull her over and put her on his lap.
She was wearing a pink dress today, the hem of which just covered half of her thighs. A gauze ribbon was passed through her waist and tied into a bow at the back, which perfectly enhanced her figure.
The big hand easily grasped the slender waist.
He smiled brightly, staring at her with a burning gaze and asked, "Wen Xiaonian, how come you look good in everything you wear?"
Wen Nian leaned on his chest and rubbed her head against his neck, not listening to what he said at all.
His chest trembled, and he pinched the back of her neck, pulled away and warned: "Don't rub against me, it's so hot."
Afraid that she might not be able to hear him because she was in a daze, he leaned over to her ear and said it again.
As expected, Wen Nian's rebellious nature was instantly awakened, and he complained with a sullen face, "How is it hot? It's so cool here."
"I don't know, it's just quite hot."
He deliberately lifted her up, and felt a bump under her body. Wen Nian uttered a sound, and a look of confusion appeared on her flushed face.
Xu Zhijian smiled triumphantly, his voice a little hoarse: "Do you feel it? Is it hot?"
He has very beautiful eyes, and even when they are cold, they are still attractive.
If it were any other time, being stared at by such murderous eyes, Wen Nian would have definitely dropped her armor and plunged headfirst into the trap carefully laid out for her.
Instead of the current calmness, she just felt uncomfortable and instinctively wanted to retreat.
Just as she moved a little, he pulled her back again. She subconsciously hooked her arms around his neck and her eyes met his deep pupils.
