C37 Indulgence of the Heart
I was too shy to speak. I could feel her fingers moving over me, her body wrapped in a warm tub of water, every pore of her body comfortable, her entire body limp, lying in the bathtub, enjoying everything I had never dreamed of.
That night, the Sister Li gave me a bath. She found a piece of her cotton pajamas for me to wear, and she also took a bath. Then, we went upstairs to the bedroom to sleep.
On a sleepless night when the city was in an uproar, Sister Li and I slept very early. We hugged each other tightly through our pajamas and she buried her head in my chest.
In my dream, I always felt something move. I don't know what time I woke up, but I saw a small bright white light on the headboard. It's my phone, there seems to be a call coming in, I picked it up to look, it's Da Yong, I wonder why he's calling at such a late hour?
I quietly got off the bed, walked to the balcony and picked up the phone. Da Yong's anxious voice came over: "The phone is off, you've called it a hundred times before you connected it."
I whispered, "I've already gone to sleep. What are you doing?"
Da Yong said: "Xin Ru wants to see you, she's in a bad mood tonight, she's drunk, hurry and think of a way, I told her not to go back, I had to say that I have to see you before she was willing to go, I can't even leave here, hurry up!"
He hung up before I could say anything.
Standing at the window, I started to hesitate. Whether I should go or not, it's already the middle of the night. After all, he couldn't just leave without making a sound. I won't go, if anything happens to Xin Ru, I won't be able to take responsibility in my heart.
Sigh! I heaved a heavy sigh. I could only muster up the courage to turn around and wake the sleeping Sister Li up and tell her. When I turned around and walked to the bedside, I realized that the Sister Li's eyes were wide open as he stared at me. I asked, "Sister Li, why did you wake up?"
She looked at me wearily and said lazily, "I woke up when you took my hand away. "Who called you so late at night?"
I said it was Da Yong, "He seems to have drank too much, call me over. Sister Li, can you give your car to me to use?"
Sister Li said, "Your arm is not ready yet, how can you drive? I'll go with you. "
I thought it was done, so I nodded. Sister Li got up from the bed, turned on the light in the room, found some clothes in the wardrobe, and put them on. I also dressed, then went downstairs with her.
Sister Li drove me from the garage to the bar. When I looked at my watch, I knew it was already past 2. There were very few cars on the road, and there were almost no pedestrians to be seen. There were only a few people on the street when they reached the city. The streets were in a complete mess, and the grand occasion could be vaguely seen.
When the car drove to the entrance of the East, I got out of the car. The Sister Li said to me: "You can go in, I won't go in. I'm a bit sleepy. I'll wait for you in the car for a while."
I thought that would be good as well. I quickly went to 1 + 1 s on the second floor, and there were only two or three people left at the table. I saw Da Yong and Xin Ru with a glance.
Xin Ru was lying on the table while Da Yong sat beside him and smoked. I walked over quickly and when Da Yong saw me, he looked like his savior. He frowned and said, "You finally came."
Then he called Xin Ru, "Xin Ru, Wang Lin is here.
Xin Ru raised his head with much effort, with a drunken look on his face, he looked at me with hidden bitterness, and said drunkenly: "What are you doing here? Aren't you not coming out tonight? "
Looking at her expression, I really couldn't bear it anymore. "Why would a girl drink so much wine?" I scolded her.
Xin Ru raised his eyebrows and said with a light tone of voice. "I'm not in a good mood, no one will drink with me, am I not allowed to?" Da Yong said, "I've been drinking with you the entire night."
Xin Ru ignored Da Yong and laid on the table, looking at me with a hidden bitterness. I said, "Enough, there's no one left.
Xin Ru suddenly burst into tears. Her tears fell onto the table like a broken bead, and she said sorrowfully: "Wang Lin, what's wrong with me? I can change it if I say... Why do you always have to avoid me... "Why?"
I didn't know what to do as I looked at Da Yong and he said in a low voice, "Just comfort her. She drank too much, and her heart is in pain.
I really didn't know how to comfort her. I tried to place my hand on her shoulder and gently patted her shoulders: "Alright, Xin Ru, I understand. I won't hide from you in the future.
She cried and said, "I know you like Sister Li and don't like me, but ever since we entered the company, I liked you. In this past year, we often went out to play together, to sing and eat together, and I never dared to tell you that I was afraid to lose you because I saw how close you were with Sister Li, but you didn't like me … "Sob, sob, sob …"
I took a deep breath and said, "If you have anything to say, can we talk about it alone?" "You drank too much today, the people beside you are all looking at you."
Xin Ru sobbed, "I'm not afraid of others watching … "Sob, sob, sob …"
Seeing her crying so miserably, Da Yong and I were at a loss for what to do. It made me really annoyed, so I found an empty cup to pour down a full cup of undrunk Hennessy and gulped it down my stomach.
Seeing this, Da Yong shook his head dejectedly.
I saw Xin Ru laying on the table with teary eyes. When I saw the two empty wine bottles, I knew that she and Da Yong must have drunk a lot of wine. In a fit of anger, he said to Da Yong: "Help her up, I'll carry her off the stage."
Da Yong frowned and asked: "Can you do it?"
I said help you get up, I had already walked over to Xin Ru and bent down. Only then did Da Yong support her, causing her to collapse onto my back.
Da Yong said: "Be careful."
He was supporting Xin Ru from the back, while I carried her, and strenuously walked out of the bar.
Da Yong saw that Sister Li's car was parked by the side of the road, and asked me: "Is Sister Li in his car?"
I said yes.
Da Yong said: "Put Xin Ru in her car, I'll take her back."
I said, "It's okay. Just drive her away."
Da Yong didn't say anything else as he helped me bring Xin Ru to the front of Sister Li's car, opened the door, and carefully put Xin Ru into the back seat with me.
Sister Li had fallen asleep on the carriage and was woken up by the noise. He turned his head and asked: "Xin Ru drank too much?"
Da Yong nodded and said: "This little miss has been playing too high tonight."
I said to Da Yong: "Alright, you've drank, be careful on the road." He said that he was fine, watched as our cars left, then walked to the front and drove Xin Ru's car away.
I sat in the back, and she was drunk and soft as a noodle, and I held her when I tried to throw up. Fortunately, she was as silent as a lamb in the car and did not make much noise while crying. On the way home, Sister Li didn't say a word, she only saw Xin Ru to his house, then came down and helped me get Xin Ru out of the car.
Maybe because Da Yong had already called Xin Ru's father, when we helped him out of the car, his parents came out from the entrance of the district in their pajamas to support him. Her mother said angrily, "This girl, it's a foreign festival.
Her father smiled at us awkwardly and said, "Young people these days have foreign festivals. Are you his friends?"
I smiled faintly and said, "Oh, I'm her colleague."
Her father said gratefully, "Sorry for troubling you. Why don't you go up and have a seat?"
I hurriedly said, "No, no, uncle and aunt, Xin Ru has already brought it back, we will also be returning."
Her father said, "That's good then. Thank you so much for being safe on the road."
I got back into the car and went back to the passenger seat. On the way back, the Sister Li asked me, "Why is Xin Ru drinking that much?"
I said, "Oh, she can't drink. It's easy to get drunk if she drinks a little."
When we were almost to the Sister Li's home, Da Yong called me and asked, "Did you send Xin Ru back home?"
I said, "Yes."
He yawned and said, "I just arrived as well. It's good as long as I deliver it to her. Don't take tonight's matter to heart. She's too drunk so she's just talking."
I smiled. "I know."
Sister Li said she envied me for having such a good friend. She was already in her thirties, but she didn't have a friend like me.
After returning to Sister Li's house, we continued to hug each other and sleep. Sister Li who was in my embrace very quickly made light and uniform sounds of breathing.
I closed my eyes and thought back to how sad Xin Ru had been tonight. My heart was in a mess and I couldn't fall asleep no matter what. If I had a girl like Xin Ru who was interested in me when I was in university, I would have really wished for that. But now, when I can no longer hold anything in my heart anymore, she says that she likes me instead.
Sister Li said that I have more or less recovered, and she is about to go home to fetch Xiao Bao to Xi'an.
Two days later, she accompanied me to the hospital to retrieve the cast from my arm. The arm that had been fixed for two months removed the cast from my arm.
Four days later, I drove Sister Li's car to Xianyang Airport. In the lobby of the airport, I asked her, "Sister Li, when are you coming?"
She laughed and said: "As soon as possible, when we get home, tell my parents about it, and bring Xiao Bao over."
I said, "Hurry up and come over. I'm still waiting for you."
The Sister Li nodded.
Before the security check, Sister Li buried his head into my chest and hugged me tightly. I hugged her too. The envious stares from the people in the departure lounge made me feel a sense of pride. She only let go of me when the radio reminded the Sister Li's passengers to board the plane. She kissed me on the cheek, waved at me with a smile, and walked into the security check.
I drove back to Xi'an from Xianyang airport in the Sister Li's BMW X6. On the way back to my residence, I met a classmate from my university on the side of the road.
He was stunned for a moment, but he immediately recognized me. He asked me where I was getting rich, even driving a BMW. I said I was working at a design company. After exchanging a few words with him, I left. Although I felt that I had some face in front of him, since the carriage belongs to the Sister Li, I was still incomparable.
