Chapter 31 536

took bus No. 536 when he went back. After getting off the bus, Li Wenyu was taken to a Cantonese restaurant by Pei Xin.

The waiter led them in. It was like a small house near the water, with white walls and black tiles. Looking from the moon gate on the right, it faced a lake and swamp, with towering green trees on both sides, which inadvertently disturbed the perching birds.

The two of them sat in the box. The waiter poured the tea and then left. Li Wenyu lowered his head and took his mobile phone to send a message to Li Teng, saying that he didn't need to prepare his share of dinner.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and he probably wouldn't be able to eat much at night. Li Teng went out to the chess and card room early this morning. It probably wasn't over yet, so Li Wenyu didn't wait for a reply.

Pei Xin sat across from him and took a sip of tea: "Who are you texting?"

"My aunt." Li Wenyu put away his phone and answered honestly, but he felt regretful as soon as he said the words.

The dishes were delivered in black and red lacquer boxes, with blue and white porcelain on a white background, one cup after another. The exquisite dishes were opened and placed on the table one by one. Li Wenyu smelled the rich fragrance as if he suddenly regained his sense of smell.

"Eat." Pei Xin glanced at his watch and straightened his back slightly.

Li Wenyu took a sip of the soup first. It was a thick stew of Codonopsis pilosula and black-bone chicken soup. The soup was milky white and slightly gelatinous. After a few mouthfuls, a warmth finally rose in my stomach. My tongue scraped my teeth childishly in my mouth, and a small bump appeared under the thin cheek skin.

Pei Xin pushed a plate of delicate-looking small dishes in front of him: "Try it."

Li Wenyu remained silent and continued to eat the dishes in the bowl.

Pei Xin raised his eyes and was about to speak when a call came in. He glanced at it and answered it without expression.

Li Wenyu couldn't hear the voice on the other side, but Pei Xin looked quite happy. He held the mobile phone to his ear in one hand and put the other hand on the table. His fingers were slightly curled and resting on the table leisurely, ticking like It’s the thin hand that keeps time.

"Okay, I'll be there later." He quickly hung up the phone.

Li Wenyu immediately looked away, picked up a chopstick of roast goose and stuffed it into his mouth to hide it. Feeling that the eyes on his head were still there, he went to pick up the Ruyi Roll on the turntable.

Pei Xin frowned and stopped him: "You can't eat this, there is seafood in it."

Li Wenyu paused, looked up at him, and put the chopsticks back blankly, and stopped chewing the food in his mouth.

"You added this yourself later, not me." Pei Xin shrugged innocently.

Because this dish looks pretty on the menu, Li Wenyu thought blankly.

"What are you looking at?" Pei Xin snapped his fingers. "My mouth is stuffed like a hamster. Do you want to eat?"

Li Wenyu blinked and resumed chewing. He quickly took out the piece of roast goose. After swallowing, he said, "I can go back by myself in a while. If you are in a hurry, go first."

"Where am I going?" Pei Xin took a slow sip of the soup, "If you want to go, you have to come with me."

Li Wenyu said without hesitation: "I will return in a moment..."

"I will send you back before eight o'clock in the evening." Pei Xin interrupted him, his tone unquestionable.

It was still very early when the two of them left the restaurant. Li Wenyu was dragged into a black car by Pei Xin. The door next to Li Wenyu was closed hard. Pei Xin came up from the other side. The driver was not Uncle Wang.

The car drove in the opposite direction to the center of the city where they came back, and finally stopped in front of a bar.

When Li Wenyu saw the bar sign, he hesitated and refused to get out of the car. After a few minutes of stalemate, Pei Xin finally ran out of patience and pulled him down directly into the bar.

Logically speaking, they couldn't go in, but when the staff at the door saw that the person coming was Pei Xin, they just nodded and bowed, with no intention of checking.

The neon lights flashed rapidly, making it difficult for people to distinguish colors even with their eyes open. The chaotic lights devour everything here with their teeth and claws, and the noisy crowd is drowned in it unconsciously. The rhythm and volume of the music seem to not stop until the heart stops.

Li Wenyu's wrist held by Pei Xin suddenly felt hot. The further he walked in, the denser the crowd became.

"Hey, Brother Pei, Brother Pei is here, rare guest!" Someone stood up from the booth, the lights were dim, and his face couldn't be seen clearly.

Pei Xin chuckled lazily: "You look like a madam in a brothel."

"Why are you so damn slow? I'm asking you to wait here for the Chinese New Year!" A man in a black jacket put down the glass in his hand. He leaned on the back of the sofa and smiled at Pei Xin.

Pei Xin kicked his feet away, pulled Li Wenyu to sit in the middle, raised his eyebrows and smiled lazily: "I thought everyone was as free as you guys, spending all day in this crappy place."

Someone came over to pour him wine. By the way, he also poured a glass for Li Wenyu. Li Wenyu shrank back and subconsciously moved away from the stranger. The man narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Pei, this is your friend? I've never seen him before."

Pei Xin then looked towards him. He glanced over and said, "No need to pour him a drink. He won't drink. Just bring a bottle of drink."

The man in the black jacket suddenly became interested. He stood up and looked at Li Wenyu from above, holding a glass in his hand. The rim of the cup shook, and he showed an improper smile: "Why are you here if you don't drink? Drink as much as you can."

Pei Xin put his hand on the back of the sofa behind Li Wenyu: "Zhao Shenwen, if you are worried about this? If you can't sell the wine, just drink a few more bottles yourself."

Zhao Shenwen exclaimed twice and showed a clear smile: "Okay, okay, you drink with me today, I finally got out from under the old man's nose today. , you must have a good drink!"

He sat back down next to Pei Xin, and several more people, men and women, gathered around to raise their glasses, and the sound of glasses clashing exploded above their heads. The mixed music was mixed with the sounds of play, and Li Wenyu couldn't help but frown. The boredom and anger in his heart had reached a critical point.

Pei Xin was always sitting lazily, talking to Zhao Shenwen with a fairly cheerful expression, but his hand was always behind Li Wenyu, giving him no chance to escape.

Zhao Shenwen raised his head to drink while hugging the waist of the girl next to him. His face had begun to turn red, and he shouted to the people next to him: "When I came in, I saw Ying Wei here. Why didn't I see anyone?"

Someone soon came . Answer: "Brother Ying Wei is drinking at the bar."

"You must have made his stepmother angry again." Zhao Shenwen chuckled and came over to put his hand on Pei Xin's shoulder, but Pei Xin blocked it perfunctorily: "Go, go, hug you. "Let the woman go."

Zhao Shenwen sighed in a fake way, and the wine glass clanged against Pei Xin's cup: "I know you don't want to see him, so I won't say anything."

Li Wenyu was sitting on pins and needles, not listening to them at all. It wasn't until Zhao Shenwen pulled the girl next to her for a kiss that he couldn't help it anymore and grabbed Pei Xin's hand that was about to take the wine: "I, I'm going to the bathroom."

Pei Xin had already taken off his coat, leaving only a white shirt on him , the top button of the collar was open, and the sleeves were rolled up. Li Wenyu just happened to touch a lean forearm that was exposed in the air, so he retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted.

Pei Xin put down the wine glass he picked up, and when he turned his head, the corners of his lips were slightly twitching. The lines of his profile were smooth under the light, and his smile looked particularly cynical: "Go, watch the road carefully."

Li Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief . , stood up and walked quickly towards the bathroom. Zhao Shenwen's voice came from behind him without deliberately lowering it: "Pei Xin, who is this..."

Li Wenyu carefully avoided the swaying crowd around him and whispered: "Excuse me."

The bathroom was located in a less crowded place. Li Wenyu went to the sink and washed his face before finally getting out of the suffocating atmosphere. He thought about leaving the bathroom immediately, so he took out I checked the time on my phone, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.

There was a drunk man at the door who rushed into the stall and vomited on the toilet. Li Wenyu couldn't help feeling nauseated and quickly left the bathroom.
