Chapter 26 I Can't Like You
After sending the location, he said he would be there in half an hour. She stopped drinking and propped up her head to listen to the resident singer singing sad songs. A strange harassing phone call came in, and she was annoyed and turned her phone to silent mode because she didn't want it to ruin the atmosphere. Someone requested Xu Hao's song "If It Were Then", and the resident singer sang with strong emotions. "It was really funny that we talked in classical Chinese, and laughed at Cao Cao's lust for Xiao Qiao. The sky was gray, the rain was falling, and my vision was blurry. At this moment, I felt your importance... The red rain poured down, and the memories were hidden. How could I hide them? Your beautiful eyes are still the same as before, flowing through my heart. The last time we met at the ferry, a period was sprinkled... "The lyrics matched, every word, and hit the mark. Lost the order, got scolded, disagreements, even the old thoughts that she had kept away were pulled out and touched upon. She laughed, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. There was still wine in the decanter, and she continued to drink, her mind was foggy. After a series of subconscious actions, she somehow managed to open the professor profile section on the official website of a university in Hong Kong. She didn't know if she was dazzled or if she clicked the wrong button, but she couldn't find the face. She lay on the table and groaned, "Where the hell have you been! Huh? Where the hell have you been?" Less than half an hour later, Lin Yuxun arrived at the bar. She was lying down, making it difficult to identify him. He searched for her for a long time and asked her location on WeChat, but received no reply. He only recognized her when she raised her head again. He was overwhelmed by the sight and called her over. She looked unconscious before she even had a drink. "Hello, do you recognize me?" He waved his hand in front of her. She looked hard for a moment, her eyes blurry, then pointed at him and smiled, "Lin Yuxun, why are you here!" He sat down next to her and glanced at the decanter. There was not a drop left. He didn't often go to places like bars, so he asked the waiter to bring him a beer. "Why are you drinking alone? Do you drink often?" She shook her head and pushed the glass away. "Who drinks this damn thing often? It's so disgusting. I'm fed up, I'm fed up." "Why are you fed up?" "Why am I fed up," she shook her head, her hair covering her face, and she used her hand to push it away. "I'm telling you, Lin He is going to collapse. If Long Weihe quits, I won't do it either... I'll quit! It's all over!" "Why is it going to collapse?" "God wants us to collapse. There's no need for so many whys." She turned around, put her face in front of him, and stared into his eyes. "You're so fed up, with ten thousand whys, haunting you. You don't like me, do you? Ah? Lin Yuxun, you like me?" He paused, avoiding her drunken and bright eyes, and took a sip of the wine from the bottle. "You're overthinking. There's no way I can like you." "I can't like you either. Although you're handsome, not as handsome as him." He tugged at his shirt sleeves and asked calmly, "Look...
I sent the location and he said he would be there in half an hour.
She stopped drinking and leaned forward to listen to the resident singer sing sad songs. A strange harassing phone call came in, and she was annoyed and turned her phone to silent mode because she thought it would ruin the atmosphere.
Someone requested Xu Hao's song "If It Were Then", and the resident singer sang with strong emotions.
"Our conversation in classical Chinese was hilarious, even laughing at Cao Cao's lust for Xiao Qiao. The sky was gray, the rain was falling, and my vision was blurring. At this moment, I felt your importance... The red rain poured down, and memories were lurking. Your beautiful eyes, as they were then, flowed through my heart. At the ferry, we met for the last time, and that was the end..."
The lyrics fit the theme perfectly, every word hits the mark.
Lost orders, got scolded, disagreements, even the little bit of hidden thoughts were pulled out and poked at. She laughed, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. There was still wine in the decanter, so she continued drinking, her mind was foggy.
After a series of subconscious actions, she somehow managed to open the professor introduction section on the official website of a certain Hong Kong university. Perhaps it was due to dazzle or a mistake, but she couldn't find the face. She leaned over the table and groaned, "Where the hell have you been! Huh? Where the hell have you been?"
Less than half an hour later, Lin Yuxun arrived at the bar. She was lying down, making her hard to spot. He searched for her for a long time, asking her location on WeChat, but received no reply. Only when she raised her head did he recognize her.
He was upset and called him over, but before he could drink the wine, she looked unconscious.
"Hello, do you recognize me?" He waved his hand in front of her.
She looked hard for a while with her eyes blurred, then pointed at him and laughed, "Lin Yuxun, why are you here!"
He sat down next to her and glanced at the decanter. Not a drop of wine was left. He hadn't been to a bar very often, so he asked the waiter to bring him a beer.
"Why do you drink alone? Do you drink often?"
She shook her head and pushed the wine glass away. "Who drinks this damn stuff often? It's so unpalatable. I'm fed up with it. I'm so fed up with it."
"Why bother?"
"Why am I bothered?" She shook her head, her hair covering her face, and she used her hand to push it away. "I'm telling you, Lin He is going to collapse. If Long Weihe quits, I won't do it either... I'll quit! It's all over!"
"Why did it collapse?"
"God wants us to collapse. Why so many whys?" She turned around, put her face in front of him, and stared into his eyes. "You're so annoying, with ten thousand whys. You won't go away. Do you like me? Huh? Lin Yuxun, you like me?"
He paused, avoiding her drunken and bright eyes, and took a sip of wine from the bottle. "You're overthinking it. There's no way I'll like you."
"I can't possibly like you. Even though you're handsome, you're not as handsome as him."
He tugged at his shirt cuffs and asked calmly, "Who's that handsome guy? Do you like him?"
"I won't tell you." She laughed crazily, "I've liked that one person for many, many years, and he doesn't know... Hahahaha..."
She raised her glass to clink with his.
"I understand. I can't get the love I want." He took a sip of his wine without touching hers. "You're already an adult, why don't you dare tell others that you like someone? I can't believe you're so timid."
"I'm a coward? Nonsense! I am... I am..." She could hardly hold herself back, her eyes filled with heat, and a protective film was drawn between her inner world and the chaos in front of her, so she couldn't see his face.
He can see it.
If he continued asking like this, he would feel evil and despise himself for being so boring as to ask her about her privacy and hurt her.
She tugged at his elbow. "Hey, Lin Yuxun, how did you know I was here? When did you get here?"
He put down his drink and asked, "Didn't you call me here?"
"I called you here, yes, I called you here, do you know why I called you here?"
"Why?"
She leaned on the table with her arms propped up, smiling at him sideways. "You're very mean. I've seen that you have bad intentions for a long time. You keep contacting me because you want to use me, right?"
"Why am I using you?" He turned to her.
"You're using me to find you a job, right? Huh? Right? I'm telling you, I don't have that ability. I can't help you. You got a shitty MBA, so I can only ask for resources, and I don't have any. I'm a failed headhunter, of no use to you. So I want you to come here and tell you, stay away from me. Don't bother me all the time. It's annoying as hell."
He stared at her, his brows furrowed as he smiled. While drunk people usually display an ugly side, he saw her as a lovely and charming woman.
He took the drink from her hand and said, "You've had too much to drink. You should go home."
She pulled his arm and reached out again, "I want to drink a little more."
"If you keep drinking, you won't even know you've been sold. A place like a bar isn't suitable for you to come alone. Don't come here again."
"I know... I know... there are wolves... I'm not afraid..."
The last bit of consciousness she had was not enough to form a complete sentence. Her eyelids drooped, her brain circuits shut down, and she was completely confused. She slid off the table.
"Hey!" He almost didn't catch it and pulled the person up.
She fell into his arms, feeling uncomfortable, humming and leaning her head against his neck, moving back and forth. He looked down at her, and her forehead touched his lips, as if he was ignited.
The person is in his palm, hot and heart-wrenching, waiting for him to deal with him.
A waitress was afraid that he was a bad guy and kept staring at him.
He glared at the waiter and asked the person in his arms, "Where do you live?"
No reaction at all.
He was sober and hadn't drunk much. His purpose was to discuss business with her, not to have any romantic relationship with her. He didn't want to cause any trouble. He called someone and said, "Send me the address of that headhunter Lin Yao."
He decided to take her home, so he called a car, picked up her phone and bag, and helped her walk. Her face and side were pressed against his, unconscious body. He had to hold her tightly around the waist, using some strength to lift her up so she could stay steady.
It took some time for the car to drive over from the parking lot, so he stood by the roadside with his arms around her and waited.
She rested her head on his chest, and the woman's fragrance mixed with the smell of alcohol hit him. He did not reject this person.
Under the streetlight, he lowered his head to examine her. She had a clean, delicate appearance, not tall, with a thin frame and plenty of flesh. In his opinion, she had a good figure. Her clothes were tugged at in this position, and a button on her loose shirt had slipped, revealing a large area below her collarbone. Even her black half-cup bra was visible, revealing her full body. He actually reacted. As traffic roared by, he looked at the main road to divert his attention.
He pushed her looser and supported her shoulders, but she was still unstable, so he tightened his grip around her waist.
Her phone and bag were in his hands. He glanced at the screen. Tan Ming and Long Weihe were calling one after another. He hesitated for a moment, then decided to avoid trouble and stuffed the phone into her bag.
He repeatedly adjusted, pushing and pressing, without a safe and stable support. Her hair slid back and forth under his chin, the smooth and soft hair rubbing against him repeatedly, making it even worse. He simply hugged her tightly and stood still.
The car hadn't arrived yet, so he called to urge them, "Is it across the river? Drive the car over here quickly!"
The car didn't come, but someone came.
An urgent voice shouted, "Lin Yao!"
Before he could react, a slap hit him hard in the face.
