He held his phone and said to Beauty Wu, âIâve missed you so much these past few days. They said that I donât know anything when Iâm drunk. Itâs all a lie. Iâm drunk and I canât even walk properly, but I still miss you.â
Beauty Wu quietly listened to him, not knowing how to answer.
Wei Shuyi added, âYouâre really quite ruthless.â
âIâve never met anyone more domineering and willful than you. When you chase me, youâre willful and reckless. When you dump me, youâre carefree and willful.â
âBeauty Wu, thereâs no one worse than you in this world.â
âIf I had known you were like this, I wouldnât have accepted you even if you beat me to death.â
He burped and said, âYour Public Security Bureau caught thieves, cheats, and drug dealers. You stole my heart and deceived my feelings. You were just short of poisoning me. Why didnât they arrest you?â
ââ¦Oh⦠I forgot. You used to be a police officer. Youâre related to the Public Security Bureauâ¦â
He seemed to be breathing heavily non-stop, and was perhaps a little cold.
He sighed and said emotionally, âBeauty Wu, weâve known each other for⦠a year.â
When he met her last year, Binjiang City was not as cold as this.
Binjiang City was really cold now.
Wei Shuyi rubbed his frozen hands and cursed softly, âDamn, itâs only been a year. Youâre really capable. Youâre really awesome. You have gutsâ¦â
âYou have the guts to flirt. Why donât you flirt for the rest of your life!â
âI want to strangle you little liar!â
Hatred arose from love. This was Wei Shuyiâs reaction.
Beauty Wu listened to his incoherent scolding. She remained silent and felt so guilty that she could not say a word.
It was unknown what the person on the other end was doing. Beauty Wu heard him moving and his breathing was heavy.
She couldnât help but say the first thing she thought of tonight. âWhat are you doing?â
Wei Shuyi said, âRunning.â
Running?
Beauty Wu was a little stunned. âItâs 1.25am and youâre running?â
âYeah.â
Beauty Wu seemed to have heard the wind behind him.
âYouâre outside?â
âYeah.â
âWhere?â
Wei Shuyi fell silent. He said, âI donât know.â
Beauty Wu immediately sat up on the bed.
Could he be drunk and run onto the road at night?
âWhere are you? Whatâs nearby? Tell me.â
Worried that something would happen to him, Beauty Wu quickly put on her clothes and ran downstairs. The person on the phone was still outside. He was muttering something that Beauty Wu could not hear clearly.
Beauty Wu ran into the district. As she walked towards the entrance of the district, she said to Wei Shuyi on the phone, âTell me whatâs around you. Iâll come and find you.â
âLooking for me?â He mumbled as if he was suspecting Beauty Wuâs words.
âYes, Iâll look for you.â
Wei Shuyi forced himself to stay awake.
He shook his head and looked around before saying, âThereâs⦠thereâs a stop sign and a road and a small house in the back. Thereâs a lot of houses on the left, a lot of trees on the right, and a big mailbox. Thereâs⦠thereâs⦠you in front.â Vaguely, Wei Shuyi seemed to see someone approaching in front of him.
The person in front of her was wearing a pink down jacket. She really looked like Beauty Wu.
Wei Shuyi looked at that person in a daze and said to the person on the phone, âI might be really drunk. I actually had an illusion. I saw youâ¦â
Wei Shuyi rubbed his eyes and looked again. Beauty Wu was still here and was getting closer.
He thought: Itâs over. Could it be that thereâs a hallucinogen in that glass of alcohol that can make people hallucinate?
Hearing his words, Beauty Wu quickly looked up.
He saw Wei Shuyi squatting on the cement road at the entrance of the district. Behind him was the bus stop, the road, and the small house where the guard lived. On his left was the residential building, and on his right was the mailbox for deliveries and the magnolia tree in the scenic area.
In front of him was her.
Beauty Wu was still holding her phone.
She heard Wei Shuyi say, âThis Beauty still has her own thoughts. I told her not to move, but she didnât listenâ¦â
How drunk was heâ¦
Beauty Wu turned off the phone and walked over to Wei Shuyi.
Wei Shuyi was still talking to his phone but the call was already hung up. When he got closer, Beauty Wu heard Wei Shuyi say to the person on the phone, âShe walked to me. She even squatted down in front of me. Sheâ¦â
â⦠She kissed me.â
A moment later, their lips parted.
Wei Shuyi wiped his face with one hand. Beauty Wu looked at Wei Shuyi and said sadly to the person on the phone, âSheâs willing to kiss me, and she still makes me feel that she loves me. This is really an illusionâ¦â His lonely and hoarse voice made Beauty Wuâs heart ache.
âBrother Wei, I love you.â
Beauty Wu hugged Wei Shuyi.
Hearing her say that she loved him, Wei Shuyi felt that this was an illusion.
âIâm drunkâ¦â He firmly believed that he was drunk.
âYes, youâre drunk. Itâs time to go home.â
Beauty Wu supported him and Wei Shuyi obediently stood up with her.
She used Wei Shuyiâs WeChat to call a car and deleted the call record from Wei Shuyiâs phone. When the car arrived, she helped Wei Shuyi into the car. When they arrived at the district, she placed Wei Shuyi at the entrance of the district and knocked on the window. She woke up the security guard who was dozing off and quickly left.
The security guard saw Wei Shuyi, who was drunk and sleeping in front of the door. He recognized him as a district owner and quickly came out of the small cubicle to carry him home.
The next morning, Wei Shuyi woke up with a splitting headache.
He got out of bed, his head heavy.
He knew that he had probably caught a cold.
Wei Shuyi found the cold medicine and took two pills. He walked to the kitchen and took a cup of warm water. Just as he took a sip, some fragments suddenly flashed across his mind.
He saw Beauty last night?
Last night, he had drunk two cups of The Devil and left the bar quite calmly under the bartenderâs abnormally impressed gaze. After leaving the bar, his sober eyes became intoxicated.
Actually, he was a little drunk after only drinking one cup. The second cup was just to push his limits.
He was very drunk. He was not sure if he had really gone to look for Beauty Wu or if it was just a dream.
He found his phone and turned it on, realizing that he hadnât called Beauty Wu. Later, when he read WeChat and saw the bill for his taxi, he was certain that what had happened last night might really have been a dream.
Wei Shuyi was not in good health. He applied for leave from the hospital and slept under his blanket for the entire day before going to work the next day.
He carried his bag and walked to the entrance of the district. The security guard who was on duty the night before happened to be on duty today. When he saw Wei Shuyi, the security guard casually said, âMr. Wei, when youâre drunk in the future, you canât just lie by the roadside. What if you meet a bad person?â
Wei Shuyi quickly asked, âI slept by the roadside when I was drunk?â
âYeah.â
âThis is the place.â The security guard pointed at the entrance of the security room and said, âWhen I saw you, you were lying at the entrance and sleeping soundly.â
Wei Shuyi had no recollection of what the security guard had said.
He smiled awkwardly and thanked the security guard before going to work.
On the way to the hospital in a taxi, Wei Shuyi was still thinking about his dream that night. In his dream, Beauty Wu hugged him and kissed him. She even said that she loved him.
He was a little greedy for that dream, but he did not dream of her last night.
Once they arrived at the hospital, Wei Shuyi was stopped by Yuan Jun.
Yuan Jun pressed Wei Shuyi against the wall and said to him fiercely, âDonât think that just because I gave you the spot this time, youâre really better than me. Hmph, Iâm still young. Iâll surpass you sooner or later.â
Wei Shuyi did not know whether to laugh or cry.
âSpeak properly. Donât touch me, okay?â
Only then did Yuan Jun let go of his shoulder.
Wei Shuyi straightened his clothes and suddenly heard Yuan Jun ask, âDid you break up with that Miss Wu?â
Wei Shuyiâs face darkened.
âYou have nothing to do early in the morning?â His tone turned gloomy.
Yuan Jun smiled gloatingly.
âTsk tsk, youâre advancing in your career but your love life is disappointing. Indeed, fate is fair.â
âNo wonder you canât find a girlfriend. Your mouth is too vicious.â
Yuan Jun snorted. âWho cares about a girlfriend?â
Wei Shuyi said faintly, âI heard that Yingying has been especially close to Zhou Yu recently. That brat from the Zhou family seems to be chasing after her.â
Yuan Junâs cute and handsome face was instantly sullen. âThe one with the surname Zhou?â He sneered with a look of disdain. âHow could Yingying fancy him? That guy studied in a third-rate university and caused trouble since he was young. Yingying wouldnât like someone like that.â
âBut the person surnamed Zhou is good-looking. He works in a big company and is a manager. Itâs said that he earns a million yuan a yearâ¦â
Yuan Jun instantly felt a sense of crisis.
âNo, I need to have an in depth conversation with Yingying. She can choose anyone, but not this Zhou guy. He has been bad since he was youngâ¦â With that, Yuan Jun left in a hurry.
Wei Shuyi shook his head and laughed.
âThatâs right. Youâre the only one who can be chosenâ¦â
Unfortunately, Yuan Jun had already run away and could not hear him.
Wei Shuyi entered his office and the smile on his face disappeared.
He was about to leave the country. How much longer did Beauty have to consider?
Christmas was almost here, and many shops were decorated with beautiful Christmas trees. Beauty Wu saw some especially beautiful apples wrapped in fruit stores and sighed with emotion to the driver, Old Chen. âChristmas is even more lively than the New Year.â
âOf course. Our girl and her classmates even held a Christmas party. They donât remember their own countryâs holidays. Instead, they remember February 14th as Valentineâs Day and December 24th as Christmas Eve.â
âItâs all the same.â
Dongli Shenghua listened to them and did not speak.
He made a call and reserved a table.
At five in the afternoon, Dongli Shenghua said to Beauty Wu, âGet ready. Weâre going to work.â
Beauty Wu was a little surprised. âYouâre not working overtime today?â
âNo.â
These few days, the entire Shenhua Entertainment Company was more festive and lively. There was also a huge Christmas tree in the company hall with some small gifts hanging on it. After Christmas, everyone could go and get their gifts.
A few movie queens and movie kings in the company received sports cars from Dongli Shenghua as gifts in the name of the company.
Beauty Wu went to the underground parking lot and saw a few sports cars parked in the parking lot.
She thought that since Dongli Shenghua was so generous to the celebrities who earned money under his name, she could imagine how much he had gained through those celebrities over the years.
According to the information that Senior Brother Kang Hui had found out, the entire Shenhua Entertainment was a money laundering tool for Dongli Shenghua.
Then how much had Dongli Shenghua earned from selling drugs all these years?
It was probably a bottomless pit.
Beauty Wu checked Dongli Shenghuaâs car and confirmed that there was no problem before informing him to go downstairs.
Dongli Shenghua and Pan Jie went downstairs together.
However, only Dongli Shenghua got into the car.
He didnât call the driver and drove himself.
Beauty Wu thought that he had something private to do, so she asked him, âDo you need me to accompany you?â
âGet in.â
âOkay.â
One was in the front passenger seat and the other was in the driverâs seat. They did not talk for a long time.
Dongli Shenghua stopped the car outside a high-end restaurant.
Beauty Wu thought that he was going to meet a friend. As a bodyguard, she naturally had to be inseparable from Dongli Shenghua. After entering the dining room, Dongli Shenghua walked to table 7 and pulled out a black chair. He said to Beauty Wu behind him, âPlease sit.â
Beauty Wu was stunned for a moment. After understanding his intentions, her face darkened.
âYouâre treating me to a meal?â
âYes.â
He stretched out a hand to Beauty Wu and invited her. âBeautiful lady, may I have the honor to invite you to eat with me?â
Gloominess disappeared on Beauty Wuâs beautiful face and was replaced with a faint smile. âUncle, Iâve let you spend too much.â
With that, she sat down on the chair Dongli Shenghua had pulled out.
Dongli Shenghuaâs expression froze.
It seemed like the title of uncle would follow him for the rest of his life.
During the meal, the two of them did not talk much.
Beauty Wu had long been used to eating alone when she accompanied Dongli Shenghua. She had a huge appetite. The plate in front of her was oval in shape, and there was only a coconut ball dessert that looked like a cat on it. She had looked at the menu just now and it cost 78 yuan.
In the dining room, there were other ladies who ordered this dish. The ladies used a knife and fork to carefully cut the cat. The way they ate was extremely elegant and beautiful.
Beauty Wu asked Dongli Shenghua softly, âCan I eat it in one bite?â
Dongli Shenghua was stunned.
âWhat?â
Beauty Wu secretly pointed behind her with her big fingers. She said, âCan I not eat like the lady behind me?â She could not stand eating like that.
Dongli Shenghuaâs eyes were filled with amusement. âSure.â
