Under the dazzling and constantly flashing ambient lights of various colors, a group of young people in cool clothes were on the dance floor, twisting their bodies crazily and venting their emotions to the rhythmic heavy metal music.
On a small wine table next to the dance floor, Wang Chen was drinking a small wine with blurred eyes while looking at the crowd of people squirming together like maggots in front of him.
Today, she took off the blue coat that symbolized the sheriff in the past, and put on a wild tube top and a small leather skirt.
Although her figure is not particularly plump and hot, she has a pure and delicate face, amazing skin, flawless collarbones, and those white and thin legs like a young doll.
Under the background, it also exudes a different kind of attractive style.
Many boys or men with more youthful tastes have frequently set their sights on this lonely but delicate woman, who makes people want to step forward, hug her into her arms, and comfort her.
But after they saw the blue badge representing the sheriff on the woman's desk, they had no choice but to look away, suppressing their inner impulses and looking for the next target.
Wang Chen also saw the little abnormalities in these boys, but she didn't care and had no intention of putting the badges away.
Because she enjoys this kind of "peace" that the badge brings to her, amidst the hustle and bustle.
Of course, this is also a test she sets for these cowards. If there are really brave boys who dare to come and strike up a conversation despite the pressure of their badges, and if they look good enough to her, she might actually go home with them tonight.
"Haha, in this cursed chaotic world, the class created by absolute power and status is even more stable and obvious. If you put this badge here, no one except the city lord and a few other peace officers would dare to come and drink with me.
One cup.”
Wang Chen, who had been waiting for a long time but failed to find an interesting "drinking buddy", gradually lost interest in waiting. After complaining about the cursed class system with a half-smile, he put his hand on the badge and prepared to check out and leave.
.
"This beautiful night has just begun. Are you ready to leave, beauty?"
There was a clear sound of dissuasion that sounded good to her. It seemed that when he saw that she was about to leave, a young boy finally plucked up the courage to come over and strike up a conversation.
"I'm not having fun today~ Let's try another day~"
Wang Chen waved the hand holding the badge back, grabbed his coat with the other hand and prepared to leave without looking back.
But she never thought that the hand she was holding behind her back would be tightly grasped.
"When is the next day? Can you tell me the exact time?"
The crisp male voice then sounded again, seemingly unwilling to give up until the goal was achieved.
"Ah……"
Wang Chen raised the corners of his mouth, showing some interest.
Normally, she would have been a little angry at the boy's offense.
But tonight she was purely looking for excitement, and the boy's slightly rude approach happened to suit her taste.
She slowly turned her head and looked down at the arm holding her with charming eyes.
The best little puppy!
This was her first impression after seeing the face that came into her eyes.
He is handsome and elegant, and his facial features can be said to be exquisite to the extreme. The shallow scars on his cheeks are just right to make this face delicate yet masculine.
It can be said that it perfectly matches her aesthetics from the age of three until she has no idea at the age of eighty!
However, this face seems a bit familiar.
Wang Chen noticed something was wrong. He blinked his blurry eyes and came forward. After looking at it carefully for a moment, he almost woke up from the wine!
"Fang...Fang Rui?!" Wang Chen's mouth went dry and her eyes widened. She never expected that it would be Fang Rui who struck up a conversation with her.
"Ah, Sir Wang?!" Fang Rui raised his eyebrows in feigned surprise and opened his mouth.
"Haha..." Seeing Fang Rui's overly exaggerated performance, Wang Chen reacted and laughed to himself.
The female sheriff of District 24...
Her identity information is so obvious, how could the other party just come to her accidentally and want to strike up a conversation?
"What do you want from me?"
Wang Chen took out his hand, put down his badge, pinned his short skirt, and sat down in his seat again.
"Why does something have to happen?"
Fang Rui snapped his fingers at the bartender tactfully, pointed at the wine Wang Chen was drinking, and then continued:
"I met you by chance at the bar. Wouldn't it be okay if I wanted to have a drink with you?"
"That's...it's not impossible. It's just that you don't seem to have a reason to drink from me."
Initially, Wang Chen didn't believe Fang Rui's words, but after seeing the former's operations as a bar regular who was even more proficient than Xu Bufan, she was no longer so determined.
"Do you need a reason to drink with a beautiful woman?"
"Others may not need it, but you do. After all, you were almost killed by my boyfriend."
Wang Chen looked at the scars on Fang Rui's face that were vaguely visible under the dim light.
As the Sheriff of the 24th District and Xu Bufan's ex-girlfriend, it was very simple for her to know what Xu Bufan had done to Fang Rui.
"It won't bring harm to my family, not to mention that I don't hold grudges very much. Your boyfriend was indeed right and did something outrageous, but he also lost his life because of it, didn't he? I have nothing to hold grudges against you."
"Just get used to it..." Fang Rui blew a glass of wine and explained casually:
"We gang members live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife. Basically, as long as we are successfully plotted by our enemies once, there is a high probability that we will not see the new moon the next day. Therefore, in the limited time when our bodies are intact,
It is necessary to live a free and easy life."
"You are living a wonderful life. I'll drink with you." Wang Chen also drank all the wine in the glass with Fang Rui.
"Why do you sound so envious of my lifestyle? Do you want to join my Red Leaf Gang?"
"Join you? Am I crazy?" Wang Chen shook his head and joked: "I can guarantee that if I join Hongye with my front legs, my back legs will be broken by my father who comes after hearing the news, and you Hongye will also suffer.
"
"Really? Why does it sound like you are not unhappy, but that your father is too strict?"
"Strict? It's indeed quite strict..." Wang Chen nodded with a wry smile, and then she didn't know whether it was the alcohol that lowered her guard, or whether it was because she had been keeping some worries in her heart for too long. Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore, and she rushed out.
Fang Rui confided in his heart:
"I loved painting when I was a child and won many championships in painting competitions, but my father never praised me.
My grades were very good when I was a child, and I basically never fell out of the top three in my grade. Any other parents would have regarded this as an honor and talked about it all the time, but my father never did.
It's like he doesn't think it's something worth showing off.
There are many similar things. I feel that I have done very well in many things, but my father has never praised me.
Such high demands on me should be considered strict, right?"
"It doesn't count. In fact, he didn't say anything, and he didn't ask you for anything. It's just that you wanted his approval so much that you were very strict with yourself." Fang Rui shook his head and said what he heard, Wang Chen felt in his heart
desire.
"Really?" Wang Chen paused, then looked straight into his heart and nodded:
"Yes, I do long for his approval.
His career is great. I have always thought he was a hero since I was a child, so I really hope to be someone he recognizes.
But it was really difficult. Even if I completed what seemed to me an impossible task, followed in his footsteps, and entered the Military Academy in District Three, I still couldn't hear a word of praise from him.
"
"So..." Fang Rui hesitated for a moment, but finally looked at Wang Chen firmly and interrupted:
"So, you choose to do the opposite and give up on yourself, hoping to attract his attention or concern?"
"Ah?" Wang Chen, who was losing his emotions and immersed in his memories, was stunned by Fang Rui's question. He frowned in confusion and said:
"Why do you ask?"
"According to what you said, it's definitely impossible for you to find a boyfriend like Xu Bufan..."
"You're talking about him... ha..." Wang Chen sneered with a complicated expression, and said with a little emotion:
"Perhaps there is the reason you mentioned.
But I fell in love with him mainly because of his bravery, or his unique bravery, which brought me a great sense of novelty. He was able to inspire me to try something, which I have never been able to do since I was a child.
Something to do, or something you are embarrassed to do.
For example, when I'm with him, I dare to yell randomly on the street, I dare to pull other girls' hair, I dare to run a red light in front of the traffic police, I dare to go to a bar and stay up all night, I dare..."
As he talked, Wang Chen could no longer speak.
The reason why she went out to get drunk tonight was because of Xu Bufan's death. Now that she recalled all the good things she had with him, she could no longer hold back her emotions.
Tears could not stop falling from the corners of her eyes, wiping away the eye shadow she had put on for a long time.
Looking at Wang Chen who was in tears, Fang Rui did not rush to comfort him. Instead, he waited until the other person cried until his body trembled less and his emotions were clearly vented. Then he took out a pack of wet tissues from his pocket and handed it over and said:
"Sorry, I didn't mean to mention him."
"Thanks……"
Wang Chen, whose eyeshadow turned into panda eyes from crying, gratefully took the tissue, then took out a mirror from his coat, turned sideways, looked in the mirror, and wiped his face carefully.
About five minutes later, Wang Chen dealt with the damage caused by tears to his makeup, turned around, looked at Fang Rui apologetically and said:
"Sorry, I was a little out of control."
"No, no, no, I just said it. I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have mentioned Xu Bufan." Fang Rui quickly shook his head to show Wang Chen that he didn't need to blame himself.
"No, no, no." Seeing this, Wang Chen, who seemed to have thought of something, also shook his head, turned his face away and said, not daring to look at Fang Rui:
"Speaking of him, it's actually me who should apologize to you."
"Why?"
"Because he was actually called by me to deal with you."
"Huh? Against me? Why?" Fang Rui frowned in surprise on the surface, but in his heart he said with a little excitement:
