Chapter 3
◎ He is not worthy of you (revised, 600 words added) ◎
The poker table continues, Chen Jing'an loses too much and refuses to continue, Qin Yinian pinches her face, smiles and says that he is responsible for all her losses. After winning back, Tao Lunxiao asked him to come over. Everyone laughed for a while, exchanged chips, and started pushing cards again.
Chen Jing'an was watching the cards beside Qin Yinian, and she was lost in thought from time to time. She actually didn't like this kind of scene very much. The jokes made by Tao Lun and the others made her at a loss. Most of the time, she could only pretend to be silly and smile. Qin Yinian was among them all year round. , was having fun and didn't notice her emotions.
Halfway through, Chen Jing'an got up and went to the bathroom.
Her roommate called and asked her when she would be back. She looked at the time on the classical clock hanging on the sink and returned it before eleven o'clock. After chatting for a few more words, she hung up the phone. She put down the phone and wiped the water on her hands. There was no trace of water on her hands when she went out. He noticed that he almost bumped into someone and apologized without looking at his face.
"Second Young Master Qin's girlfriend?"
Chen Jing'an looked up and saw an unfamiliar male face with thick eyebrows and narrow eyes. He looked at her from bottom to top with a light gaze.
"Don't remember? We just met."
The man took a step forward and smelled a faint elegant fragrance. Soon, the fragrance became lighter. The other person took a step back. He stared at the plain face and chuckled: "Speaking of which, Qin Er wants to call me Brother Da when he sees me. You should do the same. What kind of incense are you using? Why does it smell so good? I'll ask someone to buy it when I get back."
"Sorry."
Chen Jing'an didn't want to She was entangled with the person in front of her and wanted to go around. After taking two steps, the other person blocked her again. She smiled and put her hands in her pockets, saying that she couldn't help teasing her.
"If you want to leave just like that, Qin Er will think that I have done something to you. Don't be too petty when you go out to play. We are all friends in the same circle. We don't see each other when we look up. How can you make trouble over a woman? I also have good intentions. The person next to me is also from your music school. Come and meet and make friends?"
"Please step aside." Chen Jing'an pursed her lips.
"You can get out of the way, but tell me first, what kind of perfume are you using?" The man smiled vaguely.
Chen Jing'an was too lazy to say anything. She moved to block him every step he took. She frowned, annoyed by his thick skin. She didn't know how to get rid of him at the moment. In a hurry and embarrassment, she caught a glimpse of someone standing by the window in the corner behind the man.
He should have been there very early. His handsome silhouette was reflected in the window. He held a cigarette between his slender fingers, his head slightly lowered, his cheeks slightly puffed, a little scarlet, a smoldering fire, and his thin white eyelids were lazy. Lazy lifted it up and looked over. Through the smoke exhaled, it was diffused to the bones. It was calm and composed, and it felt like watching from the sidelines.
The presence of bystanders undoubtedly made the scene more embarrassing.
And the other party has a presence that no one can ignore.
Chen Jing'an was a little annoyed and just wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the other party refused to let her go. Seeing that she was really anxious to leave, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to her side. The cold, slippery and disgusting touch instantly made the hairs all over her body stand on end, without even thinking about it. Think about it, just slap him and throw it out.
The force is not strong, but in the open and quiet environment, it seems extremely abrupt.
The other party tilted his head, put his tongue against the slapped cheek, blinked a few times unexpectedly, turned to stare at her, and sneered: "Should I settle this account with you or with Qin Er?" " Forget it?"
"Let go!" Chen Jing'an scolded in a low voice.
"I can't bear this beating in vain." The other party clenched tighter, grinding the skin of his wrist with his thumb, gritting his teeth, "This is my first time being beaten by a woman."
Chen Jing'an stared back at him with cold eyes: "If you don't Let me go, I'll call the police."
"Report it.
Do I have to cooperate with you to prevent you from wasting the police force?" The man came over.
Chen Jing'an was so angry that her fingers were trembling. She had not left school yet and had not met many people. She was obviously the first to be such a shameless person. She clenched her fingers and was ready to slap her again, but then she thought about it. , even if she was slapped again, what would happen? There was a huge disparity in physical strength, and she would not be able to escape even if she was slapped a few more times.
The smell of tobacco and alcohol mixed with the man's body odor made her dizzy and nauseated. In desperation, she turned her face, looked past him, towards the corner, and pretended to be calm: "If the police arrive, can you please be a witness, sir?" ?"
The voice was clear and clear.
If you listen carefully, the voice is not that stable.
Chen Jing'an never thought that the other party would help her. She heard too many negative comments about him from her boyfriend. This kind of controller who was born in a high position is a complete scum in his heart. He lacks empathy and has no ability. Compassion, some are just innate indifference.
Chen Jing'an just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. Shen Lie's identity was here. Moreover, if there were other people around, the man in front of him would be a little wary no matter what.
But when those dark eyes looked at her, his palms were so nervous that they broke into cold sweat.
Chen Jing'an almost instantly remembered the look in the hall, and her throat felt dry for a moment. It was different from before. Shen Lie just lowered his eyelids in amusement, like an animal waking up from a nap in the afternoon, and found the prey recklessly brought to his mouth. Unexpectedly I find it a bit interesting again.
She had some regrets.
What if he just ignores me and walks away?
Chen Jing'an didn't know that she would not choose this path if there were other ways.
"You're bluffing me? So what if someone is there? When am I afraid..." The man decided that she was playing a trick and turned his head casually before he saw the person in the corner. Before he finished speaking, his expression changed and he laughed out loud, "Lie Brother, when did you come?"
Shen Lie's eyes did not move, as if he could see into Chen Jing'an's little thoughts. She clenched her back molars nervously, and her gaze became more determined as he pointed. Half of the cigarette was holding a small piece of ashes across the middle. He slowly put out the cigarette, and the fire was extinguished silently.
It was quiet.
Chen Jing'an held on.
The man still didn't let go of his hand. He knew Shen Lie's character. He was not an enthusiastic citizen at all. He had no interest in doing things for justice. He should have gone out to smoke and make phone calls. After making phone calls and smoking cigarettes, he should leave. He didn't care about other people's business.
With a smile on his face, he was flattering and said a lot of flattering and relationship-building words to himself.
But unexpectedly, Shen Lie didn't say anything or leave. When he raised his eyes again, his eyes moved from Chen Jing'an's face to his clenched hands: "Okay." He
said slowly, in a low voice, with the sound of being covered by the smoke. The burnt husky texture is highly recognizable.
At that moment, her body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and Chen Jing'an clenched and released her hands.
She seems to have made the right bet?
The man understood what Shen Lie was pointing at and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Lie, we know each other, we are just teasing."
"Do you want another slap?" Shen Lie asked. When he said this, he still looked at Chen Jing'an.
He looks quite thin, but he is not ambiguous when making moves. He is also smart and knows how to draw him into the game.
"Haha, I was joking. I misunderstood." The man apologized and let go of his hand, coughed a few times to cover up, and pointed in another direction: "Hey, you are urging me to go back to play cards. Brother Lie, I will
go back first."
It was so fast, as if being driven away by a ghost.
Chen Jing'an held her pinched wrist. Her eyes were red, with a little moisture in them. Her eyes were bright, but no tears fell. She pursed her lips. After her mood calmed down, she nodded slightly to Shen Lie, her tone a little stiff. Said thank you.
"It sounds forced."
Shen Lie threw the extinguished cigarette into the trash can. He was not wearing a coat, only a white shirt. The buttons on the collar should have been pulled open, and the unrestrained folds of the material around his neck were pulled out. The collar was drooped to one side. Then, he walked over with his legs up, stopped a few steps away from her, and looked at her. There seemed to be some dissatisfaction.
It's a bit forced indeed.
Chen Jing'an had to admit that she had a preconceived prejudice against him, and because he had just watched the fire from the other side, he was not a gentleman. However, the other party finally spoke out to help her. Chen Jing'an pursed her lower lip. This time, her thanks were even better than before. A lot of sincerity at one time.
"Sir, thank you."
"Where's Qin Er?" Shen Lie's voice changed.
Chen Jing'an didn't have time to think about how he knew about her, so she responded vaguely: "In the hall."
Shen Lie snorted slightly, unable to tell what emotion he was feeling.
It was strange, he was clearly standing far away, and Chen Jing'an seemed to smell his breath, like a snowy day. When walking alone, he saw pine branches weighed down by the snow, the coldness that hit his face, and the dull wood in the deserted place. smell.
Very light, but very aggressive.
With her boyfriend's words still ringing in her ears, Chen Jing'an planned to leave immediately after nodding politely, not wanting to get entangled in the slightest, but the words that came to her mouth were blocked before they could be spoken.
"Since you brought someone here, you should send them back intact. Your boyfriend seems to be incompetent." The tone was slow and sarcastic.
Chen Jing'an frowned: "Even if you are a boyfriend, you have no obligation to keep an eye on her 24 hours a day."
"At least you have to ensure your girlfriend's safety instead of placing your hopes on a strange man. What do you think, young lady?"
"..."
Chen Jing'an didn't know how to refute for a moment.
She had just escaped danger because of his words. Whatever he said, no matter how he said it, she was shorter.
"What's so good about him that you're still defending him now?"
Chen Jing'an looked directly at him: "I'm very grateful to you for saving me just now, but I don't have the habit of talking about my personal affairs with strange men."
"Sorry, I I'm just a little curious."
Chen Jing'an didn't see any apology on his face.
Hearing him continue: "I am just curious about how I can have a girlfriend."
"Sir!" Chen Jing'an said with anger on his face.
Looks good when angry too.
Her almond-shaped eyes were slightly open, and her lips were tightly pursed, like a little rabbit with fried fur.
Shen Lie admired the expression on her face and said in a straight tone: "I just don't think... he is good enough for you." There
was a slight smile on his lips, which made him look a little bit evil.
There was a moment of silence, and it took Chen Jing'an two seconds to react and understand what he was saying. He was a little offended at first, but now he was more disgusted, and then he realized that he was no different from the "Brother Da" in front of him. Maybe he was, That "Brother Da" is also a bastard, and he is a well-dressed bastard. Under that superior skin, he is just a dirty and carefree heart.
so what?
Should she thank him for "promoting" her so much?
"Whether you are worthy or not is not up to you."
"You are not a good person either."
Chen Jing'an was so angry that he said the words directly out of his mouth.
He is not a good person, but in the eyes of such people, it sounds like a compliment.
Shen Lie twitched the corners of his lips, but did not get angry or interrupt her. Seeing that she pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows in anger, her eyes were slightly drooped, as if she was very patient, and even encouraged her to continue talking.
Chen Jing'an made a small swallowing movement, held his neck, and said with a cold face full of stubbornness: "Since I saw it from the beginning, why didn't you stand up?"
"It's normal for you not to stand up. It's not related to you. You I don't have this responsibility, but you think it's interesting to watch the show in the dark?"
"It's quite interesting," Shen Lie added abruptly.
He had no intention of irritating her, and his eyes were open and unconcealed.
Chen Jing'an was almost choked by this sound, and felt that there was no need to talk about human morality with such a person, because he probably didn't have any: "Then I thank you, thank you for choosing to speak out in the end, and thank you for not completely annihilating humanity. ."
He said it so quickly that he didn't even have time to think about it. Chen Jing'an had a sullen face. She actually regretted saying it, but she couldn't take it back. Her limbs were stiff. She quickly bowed her head and thanked her, then walked away. Her movements were smooth and consistent, as if she had rehearsed them in advance.
She felt the sight behind her, so hot that it seemed as if the fabric of her clothes was about to catch fire. She didn't dare to stay.
After saying this, she realized that she was scared. She didn't dare to provoke such people, but it was just like performing on stage. No matter how scared she was, she couldn't show her timidity and let people laugh at her. She held her chest high, raised her head, straightened her shoulders and back, and walked slowly and unhurriedly.
Shen Lie didn't move, looking at her back that was pretending to be calm and straight with interest, wondering if she might have taken a wrong step. Soon, her back disappeared around the corner.
She didn't, held out for the whole show, just like that show.
Shen Lie lowered his eyes, and shadows fell on his eyelids. He touched the cigarette case and took out a cigarette to light it. The smoke he inhaled rolled in his lips and teeth. It was spicy and mellow. He raised his head, and the lines of his neck were smooth and tight. The sparks flickered, and it took a long time to spit out. Come, through the smoke, you can vaguely see the upward curved lip line.
