Chapter 23

The pace of the days is staggering, the past's elegance, calmness, and unrestrained years are vividly presented to you, but suddenly I feel that after countless brightness, I have withered and withered...

After all, I'm not a hooligan

I often feel a sense of isolation or depravity

I know I can't do this. If I continue like this, I will be abandoned by society and fall into an irreversible situation. Although I muttered that I can't do this, in fact, I am familiar with the feeling of depravity, and my body and mind are immersed in the comfort of depravity.

On Sunday afternoon, Chen Jing and Wang Li went to Orchard Road and said that it was a hot sale in Singapore every year, and I didn't go to the 50% discount. I made a statement that I had a job to do.

I had the first time insomnia last night

In the middle of the night, Wang Li ran to my bed again, feeling excited that she was afraid of nothing in this world, but when she reached the peak, she suddenly realized that there was a deep valley in front of her and was confused.

In order to enjoy happiness, I thought I was wandering in the sex garden, and suddenly I found that there was still a vast wasteland covered with weeds in front of me. I was not surprised.

There is beautiful sunshine outside the window

The mottled light and shadows lightly crossed the window frame and projected on the beech floor inside the house, forming a staggered lingering kiss mark, floating ambiguously

I lay lazy on the sofa, staring at the ceiling woodenly

Yingzi's figure always appears in her mind and lingers. She sent an email saying that she is about to graduate and asked me to use the annual leave to go to the United States to attend her graduation ceremony.

Because she will go to an internship in a company after graduation

I suddenly felt panic

I know that everyone will have emotional fluctuations, but at this time, the feeling of confusion almost suffocates me

When I was smoking my second cigarette, I stood up from the sofa

I walked from the living room to the study, walked back to the living room from the study, and then walked into the bedroom. After staying at the balcony door of the bedroom for a long time, I returned to the living room again.

I seem to be looking for something, lost soul?

Do people have souls?

A strange sneer appeared in my heart. When I walked to the wine cabinet, I couldn't help but feel a chill.

Maybe I'm just not used to being alone

I put my left hand on the slender bottleneck of XO, and a hint of coolness penetrated into my heart through my fingertips

I picked up a crystal glass with my right hand and gently placed the cup in front of me. After hesitating for a while, I still lifted the smooth wine bottle. When the wooden bottle plug was pulled out, I heard a light bang with a faint echo, surrounding the empty room for a long time.

I picked up the cup of wine and shook it gently in my hand

The liquid in the wine glass looked like a burning flame, and I could almost hear the burning sound

I put the wine glass under my nose and seemed to smell the burnt smell of desire.

I sat down on the sofa, placed my wine glass on the coffee table on the balcony, and the wind chimes blew up, ringing, crisp, ethereal, and unknowingly fell asleep without realizing it.

A rushing phone ringing woke me up from my sleep

May I speak Mr Lin please? A woman's voice has pure and sweet pronunciation, gentle and sexy tone, and also exudes a kind of maturity, arrogance and naturalness, without any pretentiousness

I was stunned. She was not Chen Jing, nor Wang Li, nor was she a local girlfriend.

Speaking I answered blankly

Oh, you are Ah, please wait a moment, Mr. Li will talk to you. She spoke Chinese, the very familiar Beijing accent Mr. Li? My mind is searching quickly. Where did Mr. Li come from?

It turned out to be Yingzi's father, Uncle Li, who is the boss of a national foreign trade company in Beijing. He led an inspection team back from Australia. He transferred through Singapore and stayed in Singapore for two days.

Stayed at the Lefus Hotel and asked me to visit him at the hotel

I hurriedly sorted out and wore the red T-shirt that Wang Li bought for me a few days ago, and the white casual trousers and light casual leather shoes that Chen Jing gave me.

I left them a note on the coffee table, saying that I had friends coming from China, and I went to the hotel to visit them, so I quickly drove to the Lafos Hotel in the city

The dusk twilight has fallen, and the sunset in the horizon passes through the gap between the building, scattered and sparsely shines on the car's windshield

The streets are bustling with people and endless streams of cars. In the whole city, everything seems to be stained with noise and impetuousness.

Make people dull and uneasy

I parked my car in front of the Lefus Hotel

The Lefus Hotel is a modern British style building

Not high floors, but grand and elegant

I was about to go upstairs, and a gust of music floated down like the wind

I looked up at the dome. It was some polyhedral crystals that were reflecting a faint light under irregular lights.

Feeling a cool smell at the same time

Mixed with the fragrance of flowers and wine

I found Uncle Li's room and rang the doorbell, but the one who opened the door was a lady dressed in dignified and beautiful and beautiful lady

You are Mr. Lin, please come in, please come in

She is so enthusiastic, gentle and polite

I went in and sat on the sofa

I looked her up and down. She was tall and full of charm.

An elegant suit dress with a polite demeanor

Her white little hands were sucking something in her bag

I was surprised to see that in addition to her clear big eyes and a small mouth, she also had a round and shining forehead on her face.

I felt a strange dreamy glow on her body and face

Mr. Li asked me to wait for you here, they have already gone to the restaurant

She might have seen my doubts and panic, so she hurriedly explained and professionally stretched out her hands to hand me a business card.

I took a look at the exquisitely printed business card: Director of the Foreign Affairs Office, Zhong Ruping

I was thinking maybe it was a professional habit. Uncle Li came out and took his subordinate department manager, a lady with extraordinary talent and talent.

Oh, Director Zhong I bowed a little from the sofa and said

Just call me Zhong Ruping, work for Mr. Li. She is still standing. Her behavior makes me feel that she has a unique charm, elegant demeanor and abundant connotation.

How about it, let's go down too

Zhong Ruping said to me with a smile

Her understanding thoughts, wise words and rich connotations, and these inner temperaments and beauty have won my love and admiration for her

Good Ah!

So I followed Zhong Ruping to the hotel restaurant

I can smell her perfume

It is a erratic and indescribable fragrance

I seemed to feel a little floating, and her graceful figure suddenly flashed in a colorful sky, and for no reason, it was separated by the distant space, charming me from a distance, casting a rosy brilliance to the page that I was most reluctant to leave and hidden the deepest in my life, casting a ray of brilliance of a rose light

We pushed the door and entered a living room. I looked up and saw that the roof was a pointed dome.

A thick carpet was laid on the ground, and when it was stepped on it, it seemed like it was on the water plants in Haiti

The lights are unevenly spreading, and shadows appear faintly in some places

I saw that the round table was full and there were still two seats left. I sat next to Uncle Li, and Zhong Ruping sat down next to me.

I looked around them, obviously they were all people with extraordinary identities, each with famous brands, and their decor was domineering.

Maybe this is a typical fashion dinner

That kind of politeness is inevitable: introduction, handshake, greetings, and handing each other business cards:

The Chinese-style introduction must focus on someone's position, status, plus his prominent background, or the origin of a prestigious school, etc. It seems that everything that a person is completely piled up by these

Uncle Li first gave an opening remark: Today we are lucky to meet in Singapore and are all old friends

Then he patted his hand on my shoulder and said, "This is my daughter's boyfriend, Lin Hao, I hope you will take care of me in the future."

After saying that, introduce one by one

One of them is Director Mai of the Foreign Trade Department, Daming Mai Tian

A general manager on the opposite side said in a compliment: I have already smelled the fragrance of wheat fields.

Everyone laughed suddenly

The next one is Mr. Huang, and Director Mai immediately continued: Mr. Huang's jokes shocked the famous Chinese and foreign worlds!

Next is a director of the Municipal Planning Commission, who is said to have a very reform spirit and often breaks through plans.

There is another one who is the director of the Commercial Inspection Bureau, who loves drinking and is nicknamed Drunk Monk.

Uncle Li continued to introduce to me: This is Director Fei of the Customs Department. He always entertains free of charge when he walks there and never pays money.

This is the president of Yangmin Bank, Daming Beile Ye. If you need a loan, please contact him.

This is the Director-General of the Foreign Exchange Administration, former ambassador to Argentina. He wants to exchange US dollars for more.

Also, this is Director She of the Urban Construction Bureau. If you want to buy a house in Beijing, please contact him.

The drunk monk immediately continued: He is nicknamed Shooting Brother, the highest record, seven times a night

Then there was another laughter

Mr. Huang, please give me a joke first. I know those bad jokes can make you laugh to death! Director Ting first suggested

Haven't drunk yet, what jokes are there? Come on, let's have a drink first for our future son-in-law, Mr. Lin and Mr. Li's daughter, and lovers, finally got married. Cheers! Mr. Huang raised his glass.

Mr. Li, you are so lucky. With such a good son-in-law, just wait to enjoy your old age! Miss Zhong also said in a compliment

It's Ah, this kid is good, so Ah, the house he lives in Singapore is the money I paid for. Uncle Li seems proud and proud.

Wow, Mr. Li’s investment is quite good! Director Fei said in surprise

Hi, what's the little one? Now Ah, son and son-in-law are the same! Uncle Li glanced at me and continued: Kobayashi Ah, after dinner, you can take us to see your house!

It's Ah, let's also examine the housing situation in Singapore!

They all responded in unison

At this moment, my heart suddenly trembled, and the wine glass on my hand almost slipped down

I have never told them about Chen Jing and Wang Li living there before.

Besides, when these wolves and tigers saw a little girl like Wang Li and Chen Jing, they would not eat them.

I suddenly felt panic in my heart

OK Ah I agreed, while slowly pouring a glass of wine into my mouth, and then thinking about how to deal with it

The air seemed very stuffy, my mind was swollen, and I felt a little difficult to breathe

I had to lie and leave them by going to the bathroom

There were strange people outside, and the buzzing sounds around him were mixed with the music floating in the air, like the rising tide of the sea

I finished drinking the wine in the glass in one sip, and then looked around and they all drank completely.

The waitress was busy pouring wine for everyone one by one

It seems that they are all alcoholics who are addicted to alcohol, just like the kind of revolutionary cadres who do not sleep at a little while, do not get tired three times or four times, do not be expensive, do not get drunk at seven or eight times, and have been tested by alcohol (for a long time).

Why don't I take the initiative and follow the flow and let them go tonight and stay drunk. I won't be drunk and don't return.

Who is still interested in seeing the house?

Have you ever drunk our Chinese liquor in Australia? I picked up the glass that I just filled and said

Damn, there is white wine, all the money B wine or foreign wine. The drunk monk said cursingly.

There are all kinds of Chinese wines in Singapore, including Wuliangye, Jiugui Liquor, and our Erguotou in Beijing. Don’t worry about fake wines. They are all exported and have been inspected. Director Mai

I looked at Director Mai Tian and said

Yes, yes Director Mai is gnawing a big chicken leg in his mouth, nodding his head, chewing and stammering

So for the leaders to come to Singapore, I will give the leaders a cup of wine

I stood up and clinked glasses with them one by one. I poured the wine into my mouth. Then, I picked up the napkin on the dining table and pretended to wipe my mouth. I spit all the wine in my mouth on the napkin, and no one knew that

We did eight cups in a row

Mr. Huang, your jokes should begin. Director Fei looked at Mr. Huang with red face and said

OK, today we meet Mr. Li’s son-in-law, so I’ll tell you a joke about the son-in-law

Mr. Huang swallowed the food in his mouth, then cleared his throat and said:The old couple and a daughter, one day the old man said to his wife, "My wife, Ah, today someone kindly told me that our future son-in-law is very young!" My wife was anxious when she heard this, how can I let my daughter suffer? I'll blow it! The old man said, "If you can blow it, just blow it, let's talk about it, this is just heard, if you want to see it, Ah, my wife said, "What should I do?" The old man said, "Call him and let his daughter go and see." My wife said, "Yes!" So she called her daughter first and said, "Daughter Ah, call him immediately and see if he's small." The daughter called immediately and immediately came with panting. The daughter took him directly to her room 10 minutes later, and the daughter came out and told her mother that his thing was sometimes small and sometimes big!"

Mr. Huang finished speaking, everyone laughed

At this time, I looked at Miss Zhong beside me and saw her covering her mouth with a napkin, as if she was trying hard to endure it and try not to laugh out loud.

I couldn't help but say: It's probably inappropriate to have a lady present for telling such a joke?

Mr. Lin, don’t worry, Miss Zhong is a female turtle. She has drunk foreign ink in the United States and has seen a lot of experience. Director Tu told me

Who is the female turtle Ah! You can do your best to break through! Zhong Ruping said angrily

It should be said that women return overseas talents. Director Mai added

Hehe! I've heard of this joke for a long time. Let me tell you a riddle. Director Ting said

How about it, Miss Zhong is not objecting? Mr. Beile friendly to ask Zhong Ruping for his opinion

Whatever! Zhong Ruping threw out a sentence

OK, then I'll say it. Director Ting squinted his eyes and said, "When Confucius traveled around the countries, one day, he was dry and he sent his disciples to get some water. When they saw a well and were about to go down the bucket to hit, an old woman stopped him and said that only by guessing the answer to her riddle could he get water. So the old woman put a short stick horizontally on her head, spread her legs to both sides, and stretched her arms parallel to both sides, and let them guess what the words it was? The disciples couldn't guess correctly. Later, they invited the old master, but they still couldn't guess what they guessed?

Not the word "Heaven"? Uncle Li asked

Definitely not! Director She firmly denied

Is it the word "Yao"? Zui Monk asked

Not to mention, Mr. Huang also negated

Just as everyone stopped drinking, eating, talking and talking, I shouted happily: I understand!

What! Everyone focused their eyes on my face

I said, after a few seconds of silence, the room burst into laughter

Wow! Mr. Lin, it’s amazing. Director Ting gave me a thumbs up

Mr. Li Ah, you future son-in-law, don't need to check it anymore. Mr. Huang said to Uncle Li while laughing.

Mr. Li, your daughter will not suffer anymore. Director Fei also agrees

How to say it? Uncle Li looked confused

Can you guess such a riddle without "experienced in a long battle"? Just one word from Mr. Beile caused another burst of laughter

Come on, drink

I toasted and picked up food for these bosses, directors and leaders one by one.

Especially for Uncle Li, I killed two birds with one stone, which not only showed my enthusiasm and filial piety, but also achieved the goal of preventing him from visiting the house.

Mr. Lin, take us to inspect the red light district in Singapore tomorrow. I heard that brothels are legal in Singapore and are protected by law. Director Ting is so drunk that he can't speak clearly.

Well, with the commander, I will do it as I want! Let's do it!!! Cheers for a few more rounds, and I saw that most of them couldn't support me. Uncle Li just lay on the dining table.

Mr. Lin, OK, they were already very tired when they took the plane. After such trouble, I think they would not get up tomorrow. Maybe Zhong Rujing saw my trick and said to me sincerely

Sorry, Director Zhong, I was just excited when I saw the people from my hometown today, so I said...

I understand, but today I have to ask you for help

I'm happy to do something for Miss Zhong

It's not for me, but for your future father-in-law. You didn't see him, he was so drunk that he could still go back by himself, so I can only ask you for help

No problem, Miss Zhong told me to look at Zhong Ruping, looking at her charm, calm and calm; there was a faint drunkenness floating on the corners of her eyes and lips, which seemed to show her beauty and elegance and charm.

No matter how drunk a person knows to go home, this is the personal experience of all drunk people

The dinner ended, everyone was shaking around, drunken eyes, and went back to their own rooms.

Before entering the room, Director Ting waved to me and shouted: Mr. Lin, don’t forget to take us to inspect the brothel tomorrow!

Zhong Ruping and I helped Uncle Li back to his room. Uncle Li was drunk and unconscious.

Okay, let him rest! Zhong Ruping smiled slightly, and two charming dimples appeared on her face. She continued: Can Mr. Lin accompany me to have a cup of coffee?

Of course, there is a great cafe nearby

I stared at her and couldn't help but stared at her looming breasts

Her dress seemed to penetrate something magical in the dim light, making me tremble slightly

At this time, I saw the crescent moon like jade, hanging quietly in the sky, without clouds or wind, and the sky was clear and as clear as washing.

Feelings are poetry

How much I want to walk hand in hand with you under the moon and walk together in the clear night; let us wander in such a night and tell our own things we want to say

What a pure moment!

Life is rare
