As soon as Li Jia closed the door, Jiang Ling'er, who was lying on the sofa, slowly opened her eyes, pulled the coat covering her, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Li Jia drove Hai Mingyue home, a journey of 45 minutes as usual. The music was still there, and the place was still quiet. At the entrance of Bayi Apartment, Hai Mingyue got out of the car and gave Li Jia a genuine smile. She waved to the car and then turned and walked briskly into the gate of Bayi Apartment.
Today, being with Hai Mingyue felt completely different. There was an indescribable feeling compared to before, a sense of ambiguity and casualness, elusive and hard to grasp. However, Li Feng could sense that Hai Mingyue's subtle change in attitude towards him had passed, and she was now able to face it calmly.
Li Jia turned the car around and drove towards the clubhouse.
When Li Jia entered, Anna was still lying on the big bed. She only sat up when she saw Li Jia enter. "You're here." Her voice was so calm that it was as if the two of them had never had any relationship. Her fair shoulders, exposed outside the blanket, looked exceptionally beautiful under the light.
"Just woke up? Haven't eaten yet?" Li Jia entered the room and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Anna's bare shoulders.
"Yes, come with me for a late-night snack." Anna said, pulling a towel from the bedside and wrapping it around herself. She got off the bed and went into the bathroom. After a flurry of activity, Anna changed into her long dress and stood at the door, looking at Li Jia. "Let's go."
"Okay, let's go get some late-night snacks." Li Jia got out of bed, took Anna's hand, and the two went out to Li Jia's car. "What do you want to eat?"
"Steak, please. I haven't eaten all day, and I'm a little hungry," Anna said, turning her head to look at Li Jia with a smile.
“Okay! Steak it is. There’s a steakhouse nearby called Oulun Steakhouse, it’s pretty good.” Li Jia said, starting the car. The Passat slowly drove out of the *** Clubhouse.
"I didn't realize you could sleep so much. You didn't get out of bed all day, did you?" Li Jia looked at Anna with a playful smile, thinking about their crazy night last night.
"No, I didn't get out of bed because I like being in bed. I stayed in bed all day because I was waiting for you. I suddenly realized that I seem to have fallen for your fighting spirit. So, I'll be well-rested so I can continue to meet your challenge tonight." Anna finished speaking with a slight smile, her fragrant tongue flashing and disappearing, a completely naked temptation.
"Hehe, you really are unique." Li Jia chose such an adjective, then turned the steering wheel and turned to the right of the intersection. Not far ahead, a huge neon signboard displayed the name "Oulen Steak".
After parking the car, Anna linked arms with Li Jia and walked into the Oulun Steakhouse. Guided by the waiter, they found a quiet corner, ordered two steaks and some drinks, and then sat there looking at each other. After a while, Anna suddenly smiled and said, "I thought of a question. Would you like to hear it?"
Li Jia nodded, gesturing for Anna to "tell me about it."
"I only understand today what it means to judge a book by its cover. Just like musicians, even a deaf person can create music that the world recognizes. Similarly, a person who looks gentle and refined can cause all sorts of trouble, haha." Anna laughed after she finished speaking.
"Uh...you're right, the steak is here." Li Jia felt a headache coming on. This woman's way of expressing herself was really unique; she could even connect music to the bed.
During a late-night snack, Anna's conversation swung back and forth between music and bed. After the snack, Li Jia had completely adapted to Anna's way of expressing herself. For example, she would say that having a piano there and not knowing what its tone was like was like a man's penis; you wouldn't understand its fighting ability just by looking at it.
"Mr. Li, it's been a long time." Just as Li Jia was paying the bill and preparing to leave, Tiger's voice suddenly came from behind.
Li Jia turned around, smiled, and chuckled, saying, "Brother Tiger, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Mr. Li. It just so happens that I met you here today. Next Tuesday night at 10 pm, on the top floor of the Panlong Hotel, it's Mr. Hong's birthday celebration. I hope Mr. Li will do me the honor of attending." After saying that, Tiger added, "Mr. Hong is very interested in you." Then he took out a golden invitation from his pocket and handed it to Li Jia.
