Chapter 1 The Most Familiar Stranger
I don’t know where I heard this sentence. People who love each other deeply cannot be friends because they have hurt each other; nor can they be enemies because they have loved each other deeply. Therefore, they can only be the most familiar strangers.
In the past, when I heard someone say this sentence, I would think it was too pretentious. But after I met Li Xiuzhe six years later, I began to understand the sadness and helplessness contained in this sentence.
That day was Monday. There were not many customers coming to the teahouse to drink tea. The business in the store was not very good. Zheng Zhen and I sat in the lobby chatting. The boss usually liked to talk to the girls in the teahouse. When the wife of the boss was not there, he joined us.
Around us, he began to talk about things from his youth. Zheng Zhen and I both listened to it countless times. Zheng Zhen found an excuse and ran to the toilet. I could only sit there and pretend to be serious.
appearance.
A black BMW stopped in front of the store. The person who arrived was Mr. Chen, an old customer of the teahouse. He had a bulging belly and a thick neck and asked, "Where is Lu Xiaomei?"
The boss quickly stood up and went out, waving for me to go up and find Lu Xiaomei, who was entertaining guests in a private room. Lu Xiaomei is the favorite in our teahouse, and most of the guests who come here ask her name.
I entered the private room, and Lu Xiaomei was having a drink with the guests! She looked like she had drunk a lot. Listen to the teahouse, but don’t think that it only sells tea. The so-called teahouse sounds more elegant than other entertainment venues, but in fact it is
Doing things like male prostitutes and female thieves.
I called Lu Xiaomei, and she opened her big blurred eyes and asked me with a sweet smile, "Who is Mr. Chen?" Her face was so red that even her makeup couldn't cover it up, and she was so drunk that she fell unconscious.
Already.
The man who was having a nice drink with Lu Xiaomei just now must not have let her leave, so he just grabbed Lu Xiaomei's fair arm. I could only go down and tell the boss.
While looking at his bright yellow watch, Mr. Chen cursed dissatisfiedly, "Who is she, Lu Xiaomei? If she dares to play tricks on me, I will kill her!"
When the boss heard Mr. Chen's harsh words, he immediately smiled flatteringly and poured tea. Only then did he find out that Lu Xiaomei was the female companion that Mr. Chen was going to take out today. Beauty is indispensable for men to socialize. Whoever has a beautiful woman will have more face.
The boss patted his thigh, "Mr. Chen, you see Xiaomei is drunk. If you take her out, won't you lose your face?" After saying that, the boss turned to look at me standing at the counter, "Mr. Chen
, How about I go out with you with a smile! "
As soon as the boss said this, Mr. Chen looked at me. That kind of see-through gaze made me very uncomfortable. For the past year, I have been greeting people at the front desk, and I didn’t have much dealings with these bosses. Just when I was about to refuse, the boss
Threatening eyes fell on me, and I had to hold back what I said. You are seeking death by arguing with your boss.
Mr. Chen looked at me several times, then pointed at me and said, "Go dress up and look nice. Wait a minute and you will go out with me."
The boss came over and patted me on the shoulder, "Mr. Chen is a generous person. If you make him happy, the tip will be quite big."
I smiled at the corner of my mouth, entered the house, put on a dress that was quite fashionable, and then followed Mr. Chen and got into the awesome BMW.
The car stopped at a famous restaurant in the city, and I entered the private room. At the dinner table, there were men in suits and leather shoes, and women in colorful clothes. It looked like the same thing. I sat down next to Mr. Chen obediently.
Soon people came one after another, and the only one left was the master. Mr. Chen tilted his head and asked the middle-aged man next to him, "Mr. Qian, when will Lawyer Li come?"
Mr. Qian put his hand on the waist of the woman in his arms and said cheerfully, "Old Chen! Don't be impatient!"
Before he finished speaking, the door opened again. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the man who walked in from the door. He didn't look like an easy person to get along with, maybe because of the cold outline of his face, or maybe it was because of the cold outline of his face.
Those cold eyes may be the feeling of alienation exuding from him.
But it is undeniable that his appearance is like stunning time, so dazzling and beautiful that our eyes can't help but be deeply attracted and pay attention.
This is the first time I met Li Xiuzhe after six years. He is still as dazzling as ever. If anything has changed, it is that his light is even more piercing. My eyes are stung by the light, and my vision gradually
