Chapter 1099: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (184)
“Why the last cup?” The bartender didn’t ask too much and thought that something had happened to her.”Is there anything I can help you with? Aren’t you going to be an intern soon? He shouldn’t be leaving this city for the time being, right?”
Zuo Yue did not answer. She only took the Bloody Mary that he handed over and slowly took a sip. Then, she smiled.
“If I had known earlier that your hotel was backed by the KP Group, I probably wouldn’t have stepped foot in this hotel in my life.”
“Why?” the bartender asked curiously.”
Zuo Yue was still smiling, but her smile was a little dreamy because of the alcohol. After she finished the wine in her glass, she paid for the wine and did not say anything else. She turned around and left.
“Miss Zuo, you paid a little too much. Let me give you the change…”
Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks and did not say anything. She turned around and took the change from the bartender and walked out of the brightly lit bar without a word.
It was summer in Boston, and the air was hot and stuffy at night. Zuo Yue did not know why her heart was so cold. It was such a hot day, but she suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She raised her hand and rubbed her arms, which had goosebumps, and walked straight to her apartment.
Back in the apartment, he changed his shoes, put his bag away, changed his clothes, took a shower, and finally allowed himself to fall asleep on the bed. He closed his eyes for a long time but could not fall asleep.
.com“Do you think our bar is private? You might not have heard of it in the United States, but there’s a big Russian financial group called the KP Group. Our bar is a branch of the KP Group’s business branch in Boston. It’s part of the entertainment branch of the company. There are nightclubs, bars, pubs, and all kinds of high-end clubs under the KP Group’s name. You probably haven’t heard of them.”
“The real big BOSS of our KG Group will be coming to Boston soon. He hasn’t been back to the United States for three years. This time, there’s something urgent that needs him to come back personally to deal with. Otherwise, I think the big BOSS has plans to never set foot in the United States again.”
JR Corporation.
Three years without returning to America
If it wasn’t because someone had unintentionally mentioned this person tonight, she would have almost forgotten about his existence.
Zuo Yue turned over. She really could not fall asleep. She got up and went to her bag to take out a box of women’s cigarettes. She opened the window and stood in front of the window, facing the night breeze as she gently blew out a cloud of smoke.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She looked at the time and wondered why someone would call at this time. She held the cigarette in her hand and took the phone. When she saw that the number on the caller ID was unfamiliar, she could not help but be puzzled for a while before picking up.”Hello?”
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, a clear male voice sounded.”Zuo Yue.”
Zuo Yue’s hand, which was holding the cigarette, paused slightly. Her mind was a little blank. It took her a long time to realize that the voice seemed to be Yin Ruisheng’s. Then, she smiled and took another puff of the cigarette. She casually leaned against the window and looked at the night sky outside the window.”Did Julie give you my current contact information?”
“Am I disturbing you?” Yin Ruisheng’s voice was very soft.” I just attended an award ceremony in the United States. I’m resting at the hotel. I remembered the contact number that Julie gave me before. I couldn’t sleep, so I called you to see if you were asleep.”
“Not yet, but soon.” Zuo Yue took a few more puffs before she extinguished the cigarette in her hand and threw it to the side.
“When I came back, I tried to contact you, but I realized that the phone number you used three years ago was no longer valid. I remember that the number you used was your birthday number, and I thought you could always use it. I didn’t expect you to change your number.”
Zuo Yue thought of the scene of her throwing her phone away three years ago and replied indifferently,””Oh, if you want to change it, then change it.”
“How have you been recently? Do you want to come out for a drink sometime?”
“Sure, let’s have a drink when we have time. It’s only limited to drinking. I don’t dare to get too close to a big celebrity like you.”Zuo Yue laughed as she exhaled deeply out of the window. Although she smoked, she could not stand the smell of smoke in her mouth. It was as if she could blow away the unbearable smell of tobacco by breathing out.
Yin Ruisheng chuckled a few times.” Actually, I’m staying in a hotel near you. You were standing in front of the window smoking just now.””
“..”
Zuo Yue was shocked. She looked outside and saw a towering hotel directly opposite. She looked at the rooms that were lit up. For a moment, she couldn’t find which room Yin Ruisheng was in.
“There’s no need to look for me. I’m not at the window now. I’m already lying down.”
“..”The corner of Zuo Yue’s mouth twitched. You actually know where I live?”
“How can it be considered peeping? I just couldn’t sleep just now, so I looked outside and happened to see your apartment. I also happened to see you standing in front of the window in your nightgown smoking.”
Zuo Yue did not say anything. After glancing out of the window again, she casually pulled the curtains and turned back to sit on the sofa to drink water.
“It’s very late. Go to sleep. We’ll talk again when we have time to drink together.”Zuo Yue was about to hang up after saying this.
“Zuo Yue, smoking is not good for your body, especially for girls. It’s not good for your skin. I don’t know when you started smoking, but don’t smoke anymore.”
“.. I’ll try my best. Thank you. Goodnight.”
After saying that, Zuo Yue hung up the phone and leaned back on the sofa. Her eyes looked at the crystal chandelier in the living room indifferently.
Since when did he start to go to the bar for a drink?
When did you start smoking?
She didn’t seem to have learned her lesson. She didn’t have the characteristics of a bad girl, nor did she dress up in a non-mainstream manner. She didn’t do anything deliberately.
He had suddenly learned to smoke and was used to drinking alone. He suddenly realized that he could no longer be as willful as he was when he was 18 years old. He could tell others what was on his mind, love, and vent his emotions.
Many things could only be hidden in one’s heart and digested slowly by oneself.
After smoking, even though the taste of the lady’s cigarette was not strong and there was even a faint strawberry fragrance, Zuo Yue still took a shower uncomfortably. In the end, she still could not fall asleep. She looked at the wine cabinet beside her and wanted to drink another glass. However, she had already drunk at the bar that night. Although she was no longer dizzy, as a person who was about to intern, it was better to restrain herself from drinking.
She stared at the red wine in the wine cabinet for a long time before she finally looked away. She turned around and walked back to the bedroom. She closed the door and fell on the bed. She covered herself with the blanket and forced herself to sleep.
