Chapter Fifteen: Aftermath

  When Mr. Wen sent us out, the stage was already empty, with only the guqin left in the middle, and the bamboo leaves behind it were trembling slightly due to the wind from the fan in the corner. As my eyes scanned around casually, I noticed that the men playing chess had a repressed light in their eyes at the same time, with a kind of beast-like endurance waiting to be released. I clicked my tongue, this enchanting charm was really not ordinary, no wonder she was the boss's "wife".

  "Some arrogant ones wouldn't agree, but when they heard it was your idea, they compromised. You're really evil, this face of yours will not only make your wife deal with women, but also men in the future." Suddenly, a sentence flashed through my mind, and I thought of that office with the boss sign.

  "Is the person in charge here a woman?" I finally couldn't help but ask.

  "No, they're all men."

  "But I clearly saw..." Haiying immediately came over and covered my mouth, whispering in my ear, "Do you want him to know that you eavesdropped on someone's phone call?" I suddenly came to my senses and hastily changed my words, "No wonder I didn't see a single girl haha."

  "En." He nodded casually and turned to A-Qian, "The reason I did that before was because one of my roommates was rejected by you too harshly. It was his first confession in his life, and then he came here and wasted a lot of good... tea. I'm a person who likes to hold grudges, so there were consequences later on. Sorry."

  He was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and glared at him: "I've never seen such a petty and inexplicable man, you want to shirk responsibility with just one sentence?"

  Wen Zhili sighed: "Tonight you also ruined a lot of my big red robe, it's even."

  A Ya choked for a moment, and then fell silent. As an accomplice, I sneered: "Thanks for the tea tonight, don't forget to come to my place next time to try some desserts, eat as much as you want, first-time free."

  "It depends on whether others agree or not." He said with a seemingly helpless tone.

  "Are you referring to Ayan?"

  He smiled and made no comment.

  "It's all right, we've already settled the score, from now on let's just laugh and forget our past grievances. We should still greet each other when we meet, shouldn't we?" I gave a glance at Ah Qian.

  She raised her chin in time: "I'm not like some men who love to nitpick."

  Wen Zhi Li smiled and looked at Ah Qian with a hint of sarcasm: "Even if you stood naked in front of the door, I could still ignore you and walk past." After saying that, he turned around and lifted the curtain to leave.

  We were all stunned on the spot, what is called a gay man does not show his appearance, showing his appearance is not a gay man? That's it! Is there or isn't there?!

  Although many unexpected events and small episodes happened tonight, anyway, this "Gay Bar Tour" has come to a successful end in the chaotic state where we didn't guess either the beginning or the ending.

  Sitting in the car on the way back, Mu Mu, who had come back to life, took out her phone and turned it on. In less than five seconds, the text message tone rang out continuously. Under my sympathetic gaze, she immediately took my phone and dialed the number, then came up with a well-rehearsed excuse about her phone being out of battery and automatically shutting down, and proceeded to recount the entire process from entering to leaving the house tonight, of course, only sharing what Lu Zikuan could accept.

  I was savoring her moving and endless confession when Haisakura suddenly mentioned that only Mochi hadn't seen Kyoro among us. I thought for a moment, and it seemed to be true - the number of times Kyoro didn't come could be counted on one hand. I was about to say "it's okay, we'll see her eventually." But Kotori suddenly slapped her forehead: "Oh no, I forgot to tell her that too!"

  "Whatever, I forgot too, it's fine, let's just go later."

  I was stunned for a moment: "What's going on, did you guys also forget to tell me..." Before I could finish speaking, a familiar black phone suddenly appeared in front of me, and then I heard Aki's calm voice: "This game just won't clear, teach me."

  There's actually a game that Ah Qian can't clear? I was shocked, and immediately took out my phone to investigate. In less than twenty minutes, I stared at Ah Qian in disbelief: "It's this simple and you couldn't clear it, are you kidding me?"

  She hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be shy and smiled at me: "You found out, I hate it."

  “……”

  After getting off the car, I looked gloomy and struggled to get back home, wanting to wash up and sleep immediately. Because tomorrow is Saturday, there will be more guests, so I have to get up early to prepare desserts at the store. As a result, I lay in bed tossing and turning for half a day, my mind still wide awake. When I was a teenager, Ah Qian got me drunk to satisfy her desires, and we drank too much strong tea at night, it's no wonder I couldn't sleep. After thinking about it, I finally gave up and got out of bed to turn on the computer.

  I was about to open the website where Xiaoyu serialized her supernatural novel, when Qiao's exquisite and beautiful face suddenly flashed in my mind. My heart skipped a beat, and before I knew it, my mouse had already clicked on the link. With my right hand holding a pen and moving slowly on the graphics tablet, my left hand swiftly moved between several shortcut keys, making soft whooshing sounds that seemed out of place in the quiet space. I stared intently at the screen until the familiar facial features gradually took shape, and only then did I stop drawing. Looking at that face for a long time, I surprisingly didn't have any weird thoughts.

  At first, it was Ah Qian who noticed this delicate and beautiful young man. Because of his hobby, we paid attention to him, and then we tried our best to get familiar with him from being strangers. Although he has a face that surprises people, he always has an innocent and simple expression, and the words that come out of his mouth make me, a thick-skinned revolutionary, also have the urge to hang myself from the eastern branch. He seems to be easily shy, but I've never seen him blush, maybe it's because his adrenal gland secretion is difficult. I was stunned for a moment, being too introverted will make you shy... Is this the reason why he always comes to "Sweet Sweet" alone? But when he met his best friend for the first time, the atmosphere was so harmonious that it made me want to kneel down...

  After thinking about it for a long time, I don't even remember when I crawled into bed and fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, I stared at the numbers on the alarm clock for half a day without reacting. The room had blackout curtains drawn, a pitch-black darkness that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and my phone was left charging in the living room. So even I wasn't quite sure if this 2... represented noon on the second day or... dawn on the third day.

  But I soon found out.

  The landline phone, which had been silent for a long time, rang unexpectedly, giving me a fright. A bad premonition immediately arose in my heart, but I still hesitantly picked it up.

  "Shine brightly!!!! Do you still want to make money or not?! You know how much difficulty and danger I went through to persuade the boss to set the literature club's gathering at your place?! Last night, I reminded you once before you got off the car, and then sent you a message again, but you made us wait from 1 o'clock until now! Has your memory been eaten by a dog?! Your phone is not even answering, don't tell me you overslept!!! Speak up!!!"

  With this loud and clear voice, my originally somewhat dizzy brain suddenly cleared up. I quickly thought of a plan and pinched my nose, pressing my throat to speak in a soft and gentle tone: "Is that Little Yu? I'm Aunt Ruan, Yaoyao went out early this morning to buy ingredients, maybe there's too much stuff, she might be late coming back to the store."

  Xiaoyu's voice suddenly dropped ten tones: "It was Aunt Ruan, did Yaoyao go to buy ingredients? But I didn't hear Xiaojie say that."

  "This is because she found out after seeing your message that there were still some things missing in the store, so she made temporary changes."

  "Then why didn't anyone answer her phone?"

  "Hand, phone? Ah, maybe it's on vibrate, and the market is too noisy, didn't notice. That, I still have to go out later, does Xiao Yu have anything else?"

  "Oh, it's okay, thank you Aunt Ruan, sorry to bother..." The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, and I was hesitating whether to hang up first. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from inside, and a chill ran straight up my spine. "Why is Xiaoyu standing at the door making a call? Could she be calling Yaoyao? I didn't know if she woke up or not when I left... Xiaoyu? Silly child, what are you spacing out for..."

  I slammed down the phone.
