The bartender took out a ladies' cigarette from the cigarette box, bit it between his red lips, and lowered his head to light it with the blue flame.
She took a puff of cigarette, looked back and forth between Song Jingcheng and Chen He, and finally blew a heart-shaped smoke ring at Chen He.
The smoke ring flew all the way in front of Chen He.
Chen He covered her red lips in surprise and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"
After the smoke rings exploded, the handsome bartender leaned over and handed the late-night bomb to Chen He, "Beautiful lady, your drink is free tonight."
As he stepped back, the bartender's fingers slid across the back of Shen He's hand in an ambiguous manner...
Song Jingcheng was furious. He quickly placed his palm on the back of Shen He's hand and warned the bartender unhappily, "Self-respect."
The bartender bit his cigarette and chuckled, then handed the prepared Lanyu raw cigarette to Song Jingcheng, "Mr. Song, please enjoy."
When he heard the word "Mr. Song", Song Jingcheng realized that the bartender might know Chen He and knew of his existence.
"Do you two know each other?" Song Jingcheng asked the bartender.
The bartender smiled and took off his hat, revealing his bald head.
Song Jingcheng stared at the bald man, his eyes slightly changed, "Your hair..."
He thought the other person was a leukemia patient.
The bald female bartender extended her right hand towards Song Jingcheng. "Nice to meet you. My name is Lan Yan. I have the same blood type as Chen He. We are members of the Panda Blood Mutual Aid Group."
Lan Yan touched his bald head and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't have cancer. I'm bald because I shaved my hair last week and donated it to a girl with leukemia."
Song Jingcheng was very surprised. He easily developed a liking for people who truly did charity.
Song Jingcheng praised Lan Yan, "Your behavior is remarkable."
"Chen He is amazing."
Lan Yan passed a plate of melon seeds between Song Jingcheng and Chen He and told Song Jingcheng, "Chen He donated hematopoietic stem cells to a young patient when he just turned 18."
Pointing at Chen He's beautiful long black hair, Lan Yan added, "She only shaved her head five years ago."
No wonder that in the records Ma Kaicha found, Shen He always wore a hat when he was in college, and occasionally wore a wig when attending important events.
It turns out that he donated his hair.
Song Jingcheng really didn't know that Chen He had done these things.
He was somewhat moved, touched Shen He's smooth black hair, and asked her: "How did you think of donating stem cells?"
Chen He spoke frankly, "Our blood type is rare, and the more so, the more we need to stick together and help each other."
They joined a mutual aid group, and once someone needed to donate blood, people nearby would rush to the hospital to donate blood.
Soon, other guests arrived. Lan Yan smiled politely at Song Jingcheng and said, "Mr. Song, I'll treat you to a drink as well! Have fun tonight. I'll go and greet the guests."
Seeing Lan Yan busying herself, Chen He stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said to Song Jingcheng, "Let's go upstairs. We only entertain friends upstairs."
This bar is opened by Lan Yan. The upstairs is not open to ordinary guests and is more private and quiet.
Song Jingcheng followed her up the wooden stairs to the second floor.
The second floor was indeed quiet. Apart from the two of them, there were only three or four girlfriends having a party.
Chen He and Song Jingcheng sat down by the window.
Looking at the brightly lit bar street downstairs, Chen He stuffed the peeled melon seeds into Song Jingcheng's palm.
"If you accept my melon seeds, you have to tell me your worries."
Song Jingcheng smiled.
In fact, he is now calm.
"This is a long story, and I don't know everything. I'll tell you what I know."
Song Jingcheng picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The wine was too pungent for his throat, so he didn't touch it again after just one sip.
"Have you met the lady from the Cheng family?"
Chen He asked uncertainly, "Are you referring to Cheng Song's mother?"
"Yes, Cheng Jinsong's lover."
"I saw her once from a distance at a cocktail party." But Chen He had never had any face-to-face contact with Mrs. Cheng.
Song Jingcheng asked her, "What do you think of Mrs. Cheng?"
"Elegant." This was Chen He's first impression of Cheng Song's mother. "Three years ago, Cheng Song's mother just held a 60th birthday party. Cheng Song invited me to attend, but I didn't go."
"But I met Mrs. Cheng last year. She was 62 years old then, wearing a quercetin-blue cheongsam. She had a well-maintained figure, and her manners were elegant and calm. Overall, she looked to be in her early 50s at most."
"If you ask me, she's even more elegant than your mother."
Chu Zhi's elegance is severe, while Mrs. Cheng's elegance radiates from the inside out.
"Um."
Song Jingcheng fully agreed with Shen He's evaluation of Mrs. Cheng.
"Mrs. Cheng's real name is Du Yuling. When she was young, she was the principal dancer of the Qing City Song and Dance Troupe. She excelled at classical dance and performed at many Spring Festival Galas."
"When she was young...she was very famous." Song Jingcheng said the last three words with a hesitant tone.
"What kind of fame do you mean?"
Famous can refer to many aspects, but it is not clear which aspect Mrs. Cheng refers to.
"She's a good dancer, good-looking, and has a high emotional intelligence. It's said that many bigwigs in Qing City's business community want to be her mistress, and they're willing to spend lavishly on her, giving her money, houses, cars, and treasures..."
"But Du Yuling remained unmoved."
"So at that time, Du Yuling was also known for her aloofness. Back then, the upper class in Qing City even had gambling games, betting on who would end up with this old plum blossom."
At this point, Song Jingcheng sneered, "The names of all the prominent men in Qing City, married or unmarried, who haven't even been buried yet, are written there."
