In the bar!
He drank alone, waiting for Tangxin, his only friend in the city.
The men and women drinking here all have an empty and lonely look in their eyes; their main purpose in coming here is to release their desires.
There are many people having one-night stands here.
With his looks, he hadn't even been sitting in the bar for 10 minutes before several tech geeks came over to chat him up.
But Li Dongyang is a man of integrity.
He disliked women who would sell their souls for sexual desire.
Who can guarantee that this kind of woman won't get sick?
A night of complete absorption.
Bright lights and bustling activity.
The entire lobby was filled with the scents of perfume and tobacco.
Li Dongyang sat silently, watching the crowds come and go.
There are many young people here.
Most of them are students aged 18-19 and workers in their early 20s.
The older men already have wives and children, so they don't have the spare money to fool around here.
It is said that alcohol can numb the nerves.
But it is also the graveyard of fighting spirit.
Li Dongyang sat in the corner by the window, took out a pack of Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes, pulled one out and put it in his mouth.
Looking at the constantly flashing lights and the swaying bodies on the dance floor, it was as if I were witnessing decadence.
Perhaps this is a way for young people to have fun and numb themselves.
......
Just then, a woman wearing a lace bodycon dress came to Li Dongyang's side.
He snatched the half-smoked cigarette from Li Dongyang's hand and threw his briefcase on the table with a disgruntled expression.
He angrily rebuked, "Li Dongyang, didn't you propose to Youshuang today? What are you doing here at this bar all by yourself?"
Tang Xin tossed her long hair aside, sat opposite Li Dongyang, and took a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and put it in her mouth.
I'm heartbroken.
"What?"
"You broke up with your boyfriend?" Tangxin repeated, her mouth full of cigarette smoke, her words muffled.
The cigarette dangling from her lips swayed up and down with Tangxin's movements.
Tangxin was shocked to hear this.
He shoved the cigarette out of his mouth and stared at Li Dongyang in disbelief, saying, "Weren't you two getting married?"
Li Dongyang remained silent.
"You Shuang received an invitation from a film crew to play the female lead."
"This is a good thing!"
"Isn't acting her dream?"
"You have to seize the opportunity when it comes!"
"What does this have to do with your breakup?"
"At worst, you can get married after this script is finished filming!"
Li Dongyang took a sip of wine and smiled bitterly: "You Shuang said we need to separate for a while." In Li Dongyang's view, this meant breaking up.
Tangxin picked up a lighter and clicked it on, lighting the cigarette that hadn't been lit earlier.
I took a shallow sip.
He said disdainfully, "This cigarette has a strong aftereffect; it's better for ladies."
He then stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.
Seeing Tang Xin smoking, Li Dongyang asked in confusion, "When did you learn to smoke?"
Tangxin didn't answer, she just hummed in response.
They continued, avoiding the topic of Li Dongyang.
"She said that breaking up doesn't mean breaking up, and I thought something had happened to you, so I hurriedly called me out."
"Okay, stop drinking."
"She's just going to act; it's not like she's not coming back."
Li Dongyang fell silent once again.
"I have a feeling that this separation will never allow us to go back to the way things were."
Tangxin didn't know how to respond to Li Dongyang after hearing this.
They also fell silent.
"There aren't all the women in the world who are dead. If there really isn't a woman willing to marry you, I'll marry you."
Li Dongyang laughed when he heard this.
He knew Tang Xin was joking with him: "If you marry me, your rich second-generation husband won't fight me to the death."
"There may be thousands of men, but you are my only childhood sweetheart."
"Don't overthink it. You've had too much to drink. I'll take you home."
"I believe Shuang will definitely come back to find you."
"Just focus on your work during this time and don't think about anything else."
"Call me if you need anything."
Li Dongyang drank half a dozen beers before Tangxin arrived.
He drank another half dozen drinks in this short time.
Normally, Li Dongyang would only drink two bottles of beer, but today he downed a dozen.
Tangxin, unwilling to let her childhood friend continue to torture himself, got up and went to the bar to pay the bill. Then, she dragged Li Dongyang, who was as heavy as a pig, into her Audi Q5.
It was 1 a.m. when Li Dongyang was taken home.
Tangxin was worried that Li Dongyang's vomiting would block his airway, so she deliberately stacked the two pillows together, gave him a hangover pill, and put a cup of honey water by the bedside before leaving the community with peace of mind.
She and Li Dongyang grew up in the same courtyard. He was a good guy in every way, except for his stubborn temper.
Shuang was his first love. If they really broke up, he didn't know when his wounds would heal.
Downstairs, Tangxin looked back at the 8th floor. Her fair skin, slender limbs, and most enviable feature was her pair of long legs.
After walking a few steps, she still couldn't let go and turned back.
Seeing that Li Dongyang was sleeping soundly, she felt relieved and drove back to her husband's villa.
Tangxin's phone kept ringing throughout the journey.
It was her husband who hit her.
It's obvious what he's up to.
It was basically questioning her about where she'd been so late.
Before dating Song Jiaming, Tang Xin was a model.
He thrived in Wancheng by leveraging his own strengths.
The two met at a commercial performance.
This man is good-looking and very generous with his girlfriend.
He not only gifted her luxury cars and diamonds, but also showered her with care and concern.
