Night Rose (Second Update) The moonlight tonight is extremely beautiful. A bright white crescent moon is like a small white boat on the horizon and on the sea. The slightly salty sea breeze pushes the waves to sparkle.
The sparks between Ruan Mei's fingers flickered. Her smoking addiction increased dramatically tonight, so she took a break and walked out to the platform to smoke a cigarette.
The sea breeze sang a wet song among the palm leaves, and she ignored the hair sticking to her cheeks. She looked at the new phone numbers in her phone and felt a little emotional.
It was the mobile phone number given by my third cousin, as well as the numbers of several other relatives, all of which were entered into the address book.
She is no longer the girl who desperately needs help from others. She will not change her mind just because of her third cousin's sudden kindness. She will accept the kindness shown by others, but not necessarily accept it all.
But my third cousin’s kindness may have come a little too late, but it is better than never.
Boo.
Today's popping beads are grape flavored, like drinking mint sparkling water soaked in green grapes.
She took a deep breath, holding a mouthful of thick smoke in her mouth, and opened her mouth to blow out a smoke ring. Unfortunately, the wind was too strong, and the smoke ring was blown away by the sea breeze as soon as it came out of her mouth.
She put out the rest of the cigarette in the outdoor ashtray and was about to call Chen Shanye to ask why he had been in the bathroom for so long, when she turned around and saw Chen Shanye pushing open the glass door of the terrace.
"Why did you take so long? I thought you fell into the toilet." Ruan Mei smiled and took a few steps towards him.
Only when she got closer did she notice that there were small and dense stains on Chen Shanye's shirt. She squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and found that they were splattered blood.
"What's wrong with you? Why is there blood?" Ruan Mei immediately became anxious and frowned.
"It's okay, it's not my blood." Chen Shanye replied, took her wrist, turned around and walked into the brightly lit room.
Ruan Mei was pulled and took several steps forward. Chen Shanye's steps were too big and too fast. She raised her head and could only see the back of Chen Shanye's head and his taut jawline, as if it had been chiseled by a carving knife.
"Chen Shanye, what's wrong with you?"
She noticed the change in Chen Shanye's mood, but even such a Chen Shanye would only hold her wrist loosely, as if he was afraid that if he used a little more force he would crush her.
Chen Shanye remained silent and pulled her towards the elevator. He only slowed down a little after hearing Ruan Mei's hurried footsteps.
But he clamped her wrists tighter.
The two turned the corner of the corridor. As the saying goes, enemies often meet again. Ruan Lan and Fang Mingjun, who had changed into formal attire, came over from a distance, followed by two or three staff members.
"Why are you so careless? You bumped into the door while walking?" Ruan Lan had just changed into a red long dress. The hem of the dress was a bit long, so she had to lift it up a little bit herself.
Not long ago, she had just finished touching up her makeup when a wedding planning staff member ran in to tell her that Fang Mingjun was bleeding from the nose. She quickly picked up her skirt and ran to the dressing room next door. Fang Mingjun's mouth and chin were covered in blood. Drops of blood dripped from her chin, splattering her white shirt with red spots. The blood drops on the ground almost scared her to death.
"Didn't you drink a little wine just now? Plus, I was in a hurry to find you, so I didn't pay attention for a moment..." Fang Mingjun smiled and lowered his head.
He also saw Ruan Mei and the man. He suddenly looked away and his back trembled violently. The ribs that had just been hit by the man's knee hurt so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. The new shirt he had just changed into under his suit jacket was instantly soaked.
My mind was full of what had just happened in the dressing room.
…
"thunder?"
After hearing this question, Fang Mingjun subconsciously searched his memory to see if the days when he tutored Ruan Mei were rainy days. However, it had been so long since the incident, how could he remember such detailed details?
City H experiences many typhoons and rainstorms every year. Isn’t thunder a common occurrence?
"What? Can't remember?" Chen Shanye stepped forward.
Fang Mingjun quickly stepped back, his words stumbling over his words: "I don't know... I don't know what you mean by thunder."
"You don't know about thunder, right..." Chen Shanye continued to walk forward, a hint of gloom flashing in his narrow black eyes, and his voice was low and slow: "So, you know what 'punishment' means?"
I was tricked.
The word "punishment" is used too often by wise rulers.
Fang Mingjun tried desperately to retreat, but he had already reached the wall.
The wolf cornered the venomous snake.
His breathing became disordered, and the blood in his nose sprayed onto the tissue with his rapid exhalation. "No, that's not right. I don't know anything you said... Ugh—"
Before he could finish his words, the tall man grabbed his arm and pulled him forward, his neck also being held with great force. The next second, he was hit by a knee in the abdomen, as if his stomach was pierced by a meteorite. His heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were smashed into a ball by the huge impact force, almost turning into a pool of blood.
He didn't bother to cover his nose, and the paper ball in his hand, like a rose, fell to the ground. Blood in his nasal passages burst out and splashed. A sour feeling suddenly rushed up his throat, and saliva spurted out in a mess.
"A wedding gift to you. May you and your wife live happily ever after."
Chen Shanye let him go and watched him slowly slide along the white wall to the ground, leaning against the wall, covering his abdomen and trembling constantly.
Fang Mingjun felt a burning pain inside him, sweat dripping down his forehead. His features shrank into a ball as he glared at him fiercely: "...Aren't you afraid that I'll sue you if you do this?"
"Well, go ahead." Chen Shanye squatted down, resting his elbows on his knees. "But Teacher Fang, aren't you afraid that your affairs will be exposed?"
Fang Mingjun was startled. He had just received a voice message and thought that there was no one around so he opened it. The little girl was crying and calling his name.
Could it be that this man was eavesdropping at the door? !
When Chen Shanye saw his face change drastically, he guessed that this beast in human clothing must have done something behind his back.
——He didn’t hear anything, but he intuitively felt that there must be more than one victim.
"Well, Mr. Fang, I'll ask you one more question. If you answer it well, I'll let you go out and toast later..."
Fang Mingjun spat out a mouthful of sour saliva. Every time he spoke, it felt like a sharp knife was slicing through his vocal cords. "...What if I don't answer?"
Chen Shanye laughed, his neat teeth shining white: "Then don't even think about having a wedding night tonight."
Fang Mingjun's chest was heaving violently, his eyes were red with anger, and he didn't care about the blood that kept oozing from his nose.
After a while, he said angrily: "Ask."
Chen Shanye put away his smile, half-closed his eyes, and asked, "Does the injury on Ruan Mei's leg have anything to do with you?"
…
The two groups passed each other in the long, straight, bright corridor.
Ruan Lan didn't want to pay attention to Ruan Mei, Fang Mingjun didn't dare to face Chen Shanye, Ruan Mei only cared about Chen Shanye's emotions, and Chen Shanye's mind was full of Fang Mingjun's answer.
Chen Shanye pulled her into the elevator and released her hand: "Swipe the card."
Ruan Mei had the room card on her. She took out the black card, tapped the card reader, and asked with a pout, "What's wrong with you..."
Chen Shanye pressed the button for the room floor, still without saying a word.
"Who made you angry? Brother Shanye..." Ruan Mei shook his forearm and acted coquettishly, only to find that Chen Shanye had rolled up his shirt sleeves without her knowing.
The hotel elevator was magnificent, and the mirror-like elevator door reflected Chen Shanye's tightly pursed lips and the heartache in his eyes.
After swiping the card to enter, the heavy white wooden door slammed shut. Before Ruan Mei could take off her high heels, she was picked up by Chen Shanye. The sudden weightlessness made her quickly put her arms around the man's neck.
Chen Shanye carried her to the end of the bed and let her sit.
The maid came to make the beds for the night, and the beds that had been messed up during the day were now neat and fluffy.
The main light in the room was not on, and the floor-length curtains were open. The moonlight danced on the sea like a seabird, and also flew into the room, landing just next to the red high heels.
Ruan Mei looked up and saw Chen Shanye's handsome face shrouded in shadow. Slowly, he squatted down, and the moonlight climbed up his straight and heroic nose little by little and flowed into his ink-black eyes.
Chen Shanye half-knelt on one knee in front of her. Ruan Mei was about to speak when her right ankle was held by the man's warm fingers.
During the time she was with Chen Shanye, Ruan Mei forced him to do a hand mask before going to bed every night. She also gave him a bottle of hand cream with sea salt and asked him to put it in his schoolbag and apply it whenever he had time.
It seemed that the calluses on his hands had softened a little recently, but when he stroked the petals on her legs one by one, Ruan Mei still felt the electric current flowing through her skin.
"A total of twelve..." Chen Shanye's voice was hoarse and low.
"Um?"
"Ruan Mei, let me ask you again, does it hurt?"
Ruan Mei lowered her eyes, ran her fingers through his short, slightly curled black hair, and replied softly, "A tattoo? It won't hurt."
Chen Shanye shook his head, the cool moonlight streaming down his eyes like a star.
"When you poke yourself with a pen, does it hurt?"
