0051 Night Rose - CTL-AY, Night.51 (2700+ 2nd update) (1 post per 48 hours bonus) "Brother Long, I'm at the door of the bar, where are the customers?"
Chen Shanye took off his helmet and shook his head. The river breeze blew across the few tufts of flattened hair on his head. The sound of the cruise ship's horn on the Pearl River drew his attention away.
He turned his head. The ship looked like a woman in a long black silk dress lying on a water bed with crescent moons swaying on it. Red and blue sapphires were scattered from her chest to the hem of her skirt. The neon river scene cast gorgeous spots of light like glowing jellyfish, swaying and swimming around her enchanting and undulating outline.
Long Bei said that the customers were still in the store. Chen Shanye parked the car and pushed open the glass wooden door. Thick honey dripped out from the wall lamps, filling every corner with lazy notes.
Chen Shanye walked towards the bar. Long Bei was wiping the wine glasses behind the bar. When he saw him coming, he raised his chin.
He followed Long Bei's gaze and looked at the person sitting at the corner of the arc.
A girl was sitting on a turquoise high stool, leaning forward against the brown wooden bar, her black skirt billowing in charming waves, her long legs dripping with honey, crossed and swaying lightly beside the stool, and something was vaguely dancing on her right leg.
The blue fireflies in the wine cabinet blended with the top of her fiery red hair to create a strange purple-red glow. The drooping red hair covered the side of her face. Chen Shanye could only see a small piece of her round, white, pearl-like shoulders exposed from the winding flames.
Long Bei lowered his head and said something in front of her. She turned her head and their eyes met in the air.
She supported her face with her left hand, her slightly open lips were pink, her eyelids were dancing with crystal fluorescent blue, and her cheeks were flushed with an intoxicating blush.
As Chen Shanye approached, she heard Long Bei say to her, "...Can you really do this on your own? Do you need to ask Gong Xin to pick you up?"
"No, I... I, I'm not drunk." The girl jumped off the stool and staggered like a rose swaying in the wind.
Well, he's drunk and his speech is slurred, Chen Shanye thought.
"Where do you live?" Chen Shanye asked her.
"Here...here..." She frowned and pouted, trying hard to think of her address. Finally, she stuttered out the name of a high-end apartment, then picked up the chain bag on the stool and walked out.
Long Bei called out to Chen Shanye and instructed him, "Send him home safely."
"Okay, don't worry, brother."
The girl was still conscious and led him to the parking lot, humming a tune. Chen Shanye couldn't hear clearly, but he could see under the street light that she had a tattoo on her right leg with red petals floating in the air.
Several bars shared a small parking lot. The girl came here and suddenly lost her memory. She murmured, "Hey, where's my little Mini?..."
"Mini Cooper? Is that the one?" Chen Shanye asked, pointing to a black three-door car.
"No, no...that's not my car..." She shook her head quickly: "My Mini is bright red..."
Like a deflated balloon, she suddenly squatted down, opened the bag and dumped the contents - cigarettes, lighter, cell phone, tissues, car keys, wallet, apartment garage access card... all onto the concrete floor.
But this posture caused the skirt to slide back to the thigh, and it turned out that there was a circle of tattoo on the thigh, a pistol.
What made his temples jump even more was the bright red that was squeezed between the white thighs. Under the street light, Chen Shanye could even see a small dent in the middle of the bulge.
The self-control that had been stretched tight for so long was like an old rubber band that lost its strength and could not withstand the bullet fired from the pure black pistol in his head. The falling petals in the sky blinded his eyes.
Chen Shanye quickly looked away. There were other people in the parking lot. He let the electric bike stand still, bent down, held her slightly cold arm, and pulled her to her feet: "Stand still, I'll help you pick it up."
He squatted down and picked up the scattered things on the ground one by one and put them back into his bag, leaving only the car keys and garage card. The card had the photo and name of the apartment the girl had just mentioned printed on it, and the car keys had a Honda logo on them.
He pressed the unlock button, and a white Fit in front of him flashed its lights.
"Ah, master, my bike is here..." The girl staggered towards the bike. Chen Shanye followed with her small bag in one hand and pushed the electric bike with the other.
Watching her sit in the passenger seat, Chen Shanye walked around the car briefly to check it and put the electric car into the back trunk.
After inserting the key to start the car, Chen Shanye saw that she was still "struggling" with the seat belt, and the iron piece could not be inserted into the socket.
"Let me do it." He reached out to help her insert the strap, his fingers accidentally scraping across the back of her smooth hand.
"Thank you, thank you, little brother."
The words seemed to be filled with intoxicating beer bubbles, and each word bounced in the small and cramped space. The soft and vague voice was very much like a cat lying in the sun at the door, stretching lazily, and the slightly exposed cat claws scratched Chen Shanye's head once or twice.
He put aside some unnecessary thoughts and stepped on the accelerator.
The girl who got on the car didn't say much. She leaned her head against the door and looked out the window, occasionally humming an unknown tune.
The road was extremely smooth near midnight, and Chen Shanye soon drove to the high-end apartment in the CBD and swiped the garage card to enter.
"Does your car have a fixed parking space?" Chen Shanye looked around and saw many fixed parking spaces with license plates.
He waited for a while but received no reply. He turned around and saw that she seemed to be asleep.
After finding a visitor parking space and parking the car, Chen Shanye called out a few times.
But the girl still didn't respond, so he had to reach out and gently shake her shoulders a few times: "Beautiful girl, wake up, we're home."
She suddenly raised her hands and slapped them in the air, sweeping Chen Shanye's hands away: "Um... No, I don't want to go home... I don't have a home..."
"Is there anyone else at home? Can we have someone come down to pick you up?"
"People?... No, there's no one at home, only me..." The girl laughed foolishly for a few times, then quickly stopped smiling, her voice filled with tears: "I'm a poor little thing that no one wants..."
Chen Shanye frowned. She wasn't completely drunk, at least she knew how to answer his questions. But in this state, she probably couldn't go upstairs by herself.
He couldn't just leave her in the parking lot, so he had to wait in the car until she sobered up a little before he could leave.
Zhong Mang sent him a message asking if he wanted to go out for a midnight snack and play cards with some colleagues after work. He replied that he didn't want to go.
He didn't know when he would be able to finish work.
Because this order was not placed through the platform, the "waiting time" could not be strictly calculated to charge extra fees. Chen Shanye had to consider himself unlucky for having to deal with this drunk cat.
After browsing the designated driver group for a while, the time of the WeChat chat history became "yesterday", 0 o'clock.
Unexpectedly, Chen Hechuan called at this time, and he quickly got out of the car and answered the call.
"Dad, why are you so late?"
Chen Hechuan sighed, "Yangyang was sleeping just now and suddenly started crying. Your mom and I looked and saw that half of the pillow was wet with tears... It seemed like the baby was having a nightmare and kept calling 'Mom'."
Chen Shan's ambition sank: "Did something happen again during the day?"
"He went to the Wu family today, and he hasn't been smiling much since he came back. Your mother made him a big chicken drumstick tonight, but he put it down after just a few bites. I don't know what the Wu family said to him."
"...Okay, I'll talk to my father-in-law some other day."
"Hey, Shanye... We used to think Yangyang needed his mother, and we also thought Wu Xuanli might come back in a year or two. We always advised you to wait for her, talk face to face about your thoughts, and then separate peacefully. But now I think about it, I think you should get a divorce as soon as possible. Keeping things unclear like this is not good for the child's growth."
"Yes, I understand. I'm already consulting a lawyer."
"Okay, nothing much, go ahead."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shanye suddenly felt like smoking. He put his cigarettes and lighter in his backpack and placed them in the trunk of his car together with his electric bike.
He walked to the back of the car, opened the door, and took out the slightly shriveled cigarette box. It was actually the last cigarette.
The parking lot was so quiet at midnight that even the subtle sound of the iron wheel rubbing against the flint on the lighter could be heard. The spark ignited the cigarette, and Chen Shanye took a deep puff, then squinted his eyes and exhaled white smoke.
Just as he was about to close the car door, he saw the drunk girl in the passenger seat stir. Thinking she had sobered up a bit, Chen Shanye quickly said, "Beautiful lady, are you awake? We're already in your garage."
The drunk cat said softly, "We're here..."
"Well, we're here. Can you go upstairs by yourself?" Chen Shanye took the electric bike and backpack out of the car, speaking incoherently while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
As soon as I opened the folding bike, I heard the passenger door slam shut, but the car was still running.
"The key, the key hasn't been taken out yet." He reminded quickly.
The woman ignored him and swayed towards the back of the car. She stood in front of him, her cheeks slightly flushed and her eyes blinking as if she had not woken up yet.
"Key..." Chen Shanye's next words were choked in his throat, and his teeth suddenly bit the cigarette holder hard.
I saw the drunk cat lift the hem of her skirt to her waist, hook her fingers on the edge of her red lace panties, and pretend to take them off: "Little brother, um... I want to pee..."
