Chapter 4: Closing your eyes and pretending to be dead
Ge Weiwei drinks without restraint and must get drunk to death.
By the time she was lying on the table, unable to move, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Shen Nanxi was also a little drunk.
Call Shen Yu and ask him where he is.
After a long while, Shen Yu answered, "Miss, there was a car accident on Queen's Road. It's a bit congested. I may be five minutes late."
Shen Yu is a student sponsored by Shen Mushan and has been raised by his side since childhood.
When he was a child, he was Shen Nanxi's follower and went to school with her.
When he grew up, he became Shen Nanxi's assistant, balancing work and life.
Shen Nanxi has no friends or relatives in Hong Kong.
Therefore, he is very dependent on Shen Yu.
Shen Nanxi: "Okay, be careful."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Nanxi asked the waiter for a glass of ice water.
After taking two sips, his cell phone rang. It was Xie Jingwei calling.
She answered the call expressionlessly: "Hello."
Xie Jingwei: "Where?"
Shen Nanxi: "miss who."
Xie Jingwei: “Five minutes.”
Shen Nanxi said "hmm" with no emotion on her face.
Since she and Xie Jingwei went out together, they naturally had to go back together.
Originally, she wanted to send Ge Weiwei away and then contact Xie Jingwei, but she didn't expect Xie Jingwei to contact her on his own initiative.
When it comes to appeasing his parents, Xie Jingwei did a good job.
Five minutes passed quickly.
Shen Yu came first.
He helped Ge Weiwei up and walked out of the bar.
Ge Weiwei slept for a while and regained consciousness. She opened her eyes and looked at the person who was supporting her.
Shen Yu is very tall, about 1.85 meters tall, wearing a neat black suit, with a straight and slender figure.
His facial features are three-dimensional and his face is strongly chiseled. He wears a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge. His deep eyebrows and eyes are covered with an elegant light, making him appear cool, self-restrained and gentle.
"Shen Yu!"
Ge Weiwei shouted in surprise.
Shen Yu's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't answer. He quietly helped her out of the bar.
The car is parked on the side of the road.
He opened the car door, let Ge Weiwei go in first, and glanced at Shen Nanxi again.
Shen Nanxi said: "Xie Jingwei will come down to pick me up, you send Weiwei to my place to sleep, and ask Sister Qin to take good care of her."
Shen Yu drooped his eyelids and said, "Yes." But he did not leave. He stood beside Shen Nanxi, waiting for Xie Jingwei with her.
Xie Jingwei's car soon came into their sight.
The black Bentley is very low-key, but the license plate HK66666 highlights the owner's noble status.
Even if there are a bunch of drunk people around, they can't help but take a few more glances to get a taste of her nobleness.
Xie Jingwei sat in the back seat and lowered the window: "Get in the car."
The words were addressed to Shen Nanxi, but his eyes were on Shen Yu.
With caution and full of danger.
The car door closes.
The car drove away in a cloud of dust.
Shen Yu smiled gently and drove away.
The dimly lit rear compartment was utterly silent.
Each other's breathing became clearly audible because of the silence.
Shen Nanxi looked at the night scene passing by quickly outside the window without saying a word.
Xie Jingwei supported his chin with one hand and tapped the armrest of the leather seat with the other hand.
He glanced at the night outside the window and felt bored. He turned to look at Shen Nanxi: "Shen Yu is drinking with you guys?"
Shen Nanxi: "No."
Xie Jingwei: "He's coming to pick you up?"
Shen Nanxi: "Yeah."
Xie Jingwei paused for a moment, then tapped again, again and again. The sound was very light, but in the closed environment, it seemed full of oppression: "Did you take the initiative, or did he?"
The tone of this sentence is questioning.
Shen Nanxi pursed her lips and did not answer.
She didn't like this form of communication. Xie Jingwei moved his body and sat in a more comfortable position. His fingers stopped tapping, and his eyes became deeper in the dark environment: "If I didn't call you, you would leave with him, right?"
Alcohol can make people act inappropriately, just like now.
Shen Nanxi was displeased with Xie Jingwei's attitude and threw the principle of peaceful coexistence to the winds.
Her eyes lit up in the dark, she tilted her head and smiled at him, her amber pupils emitting a cold and beautiful light. In the depths of the light, there were two hooks that immediately hooked Xie Jingwei's heart.
Xie Jingwei was stunned, with obvious dejection in his eyes.
It’s like a traveler walking in the desert, almost dying of thirst, seeing the oasis he longs for.
Move forward with expectation.
Before the smile on his lips rose, he heard Shen Nanxi say word by word: "Xie Jingwei, I went with you because I had to deal with my father. If my father hadn't come, you wouldn't even have the chance to call me. Don't ask this kind of self-esteem-injuring question next time. You will never be the answer."
It turns out that the oasis was a mirage.
His eyes dimmed.
When we returned to the villa in Repulse Bay, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Shen Mushan hadn't slept yet. He was sitting in the living room, reading the financial newspaper under the light of the desk lamp.
I heard the door lock.
He raised his head.
Shen Nanxi and Xie Jingwei appeared at the door side by side.
One is bright and generous, the other is evil and flamboyant.
A sentence immediately appeared in his mind: A talented man and a beautiful woman, they are a perfect match!
Shen Mushan smiled so hard that his double chin showed: "I'm back."
Shen Nanxi frowned and walked forward: "Dad, why haven't you slept yet?"
Shen Mushan said: "I can't sleep if you don't come back."
This has been Shen Mushan's habit for many years. As long as he is at home and Shen Nanxi is out, no matter how late it is, he will wait for Shen Nanxi to come back before going to bed.
Shen Nanxi felt a little sour in the tip of her nose, and lifted up Shen Mushan's arm: "I'll take you back to your room."
Shen Mushan pushed Shen Nanxi's hand away: "No, I'm not that old yet."
He is only in his early fifties and apart from heart problems, there is nothing serious wrong with him.
He stood up, walked to the stairs, held the handrail, and turned back to say, "I'm going back to the room, you guys should go to bed early too."
His eyes fell on Shen Nanxi, and suddenly they lit up, and he laughed twice, "Let me have a grandson soon."
Shen Nanxi: "..."
Shen Nanxi went to take a shower.
The phone is charged on the bedside.
Xie Jingwei stood on the balcony and lit a cigarette.
His eyes were fixed on the roses in full bloom in the garden.
Clusters of pink flowers bloom in the moonlight, with light and dark interweaving together. The sea of flowers surges like the tide, interweaving deep and shallow lights. It is infinitely delicate and touching, making people easily forget that it, like a rose, also has thorns.
Finished smoking.
Xie Jingwei heard a "ding dong" sound.
A message flew into Shen Nanxi's phone and the screen lit up.
He walked to the head of the bed, swiped the screen naturally, and entered the unlocking interface.
Enter the unlock password.
1026.
Shen Nanxi’s birthday.
I saw the specific content of that message.
[Shen Yu: Miss, please rest assured, Miss Ge has arrived home safely, good night.]
Miss? She called me so affectionately.
The white fingertips slid across the message, trying to delete it.
He pondered in silence for a few seconds.
Or choose to let go.
Set the message to unread, lock the screen, wipe off fingerprints, and put it back.
The running water in the bathroom stopped.
Xie Jingwei raised his eyebrows and gave a wicked smile.
Jackets, shirts, and trousers were scattered all over the floor.
He lifted the quilt, crawled in, and threw out a pair of underwear.
Shen Nanxi walked out of the bathroom and saw the clothes on the floor. Her brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito: "Xie Jingwei?"
Xie Jingwei closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
