The address Shen Qingxiang gave was a bar in the new district in the north of the city. The newly developed area was quite far from the city center. On Friday night, many people went out of town to play, and the road was jammed. Serena could only take a detour.
She followed the navigation through many twists and turns. There were fewer people around and the road became more and more unfamiliar. She could only drive and stop, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. She looked in the rearview mirror countless times. Although she didn't get the road right, she did get familiar with the car behind her.
A Bentley was following behind.
The license plate was unfamiliar and the driving style was very similar to hers, so he probably didn't know the way. Serena felt greatly comforted by this lost companion , and her mentality gradually stabilized.
Unfortunately, after she took the wrong exit for the third time, the lost companion lost his patience and decisively overtook the car, but he did not go far. After walking for a while, he slowed down, as if to signal her to follow.
Serena thought about it and really followed him. They got off the intersection for the fourth time. This time they must have gotten off correctly, as the navigation did not re-plan the route for her.
What a nice guy! Serena praised sincerely as she looked at the rear of the Bentley.
The Bentley seemed to be going somewhere with her, and actually led her all the way to the new district in the north of the city. Just when Serena was wondering whether she should go over to say thank you after reaching the destination, the Bentley turned and took a fork in the road.
This fork in the road went against the navigation instructions. Serena hesitated for half a second but still followed the Bentley.
The fork in the road is a small road with few cars and people, but it is wide, straight and brightly lit.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it turned the corner, the Bentley suddenly accelerated, and Serena subconsciously followed suit.
Then, it suddenly stopped!
Serena's hair stood on end and she slammed on the brakes. After an unpleasant friction sound, the car stopped just short of a collision.
She instinctively wanted to curse, but the next second she realized something was wrong.
Could it be that the other person is not going the same way as me and wants to go home? Am I overthinking it?
That would be very embarrassing. Serena hesitated for a moment and decided to turn. However, before she could turn the steering wheel, her cell phone rang.
She controlled the car and casually clicked the answer button. There was no voice on the other end of the line, only the sound of deep breathing. Serena's hands gripping the steering wheel froze instantly.
She was too familiar with this slightly angry breath. For some reason, she looked towards the Bentley in front of her. Her intuition told her that the person sitting in the car was not someone else.
"come over."
Two words came from the other end of the phone. There was no excitement and he didn't say where it came from, but Serena knew he was talking about the Bentley.
James has cars of various brands, but he seldom drives a Bentley. Serena has never seen this one before, otherwise she wouldn't have failed to recognize it. She held the steering wheel with sweaty palms.
Do you want to go find him?
James' tone didn't sound good, but shouldn't he be spending a happy weekend with Chen Xiaoyu? Why did he come here to play Fast and Furious with her?
But in the past...
He didn't know what method he would come up with to torture her. She had already submitted to this point, why was James still not giving in?
It can't be...that it's because she didn't really watch the love drama between him and Chen Xiaoyu!
Serena stared at Bentley for a moment, took a few deep breaths, and stopped hesitating.
"Mr. Forrest, I wish you and Miss Chen a happy weekend. I won't bother you any more!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone, drove the electric car at high speed , and stepped on the accelerator smoothly , without leaving a cloud behind.
This was the first time in three years that Serena went against James. After getting back on track, she swept away the depression of the whole day and felt extremely happy.
"This is how black-hearted capitalists deserve to be treated. Bah! I won't serve you anymore!"
She cursed viciously and felt better.
This feeling of comfort lasted until I met Shen Qingxiang at the New District Bar.
"Beauty, you are dressed very congenially but not too bar-like."
Shen Qingxiang's curvy red dress and red lips were hot and spicy, which made Serena more reserved. But it didn't matter. Serena only cared about the main point. "Don't be picky. Where's the food?"
No one comes to a bar to think about eating first , but Serena did it. She sat in the booth, facing the three handsome guys brought by Shen Qingxiang, and was thinking about why the pizza hadn't been delivered yet.
The handsome guys were all about her age. It was hard to tell whether their chest muscles were 108 cm or not, but their shirt buttons were tightly buttoned, so they looked real. Two of them were Shen Qingxiang's friends, and one was a new friend, each one more talkative than the other.
Shen Qingxiang's taste is this: a man must have smooth, bright, fair skin, and firm flesh, his teeth must be white enough, and his breath must remain fresh all year round so that he can be kissed at any time. It doesn't matter if he has a few abdominal muscles, but his pectoral muscles and gluteus maximus must be of high quality and feel good.
"You'll know the benefits when you need them."
This is Shen Qingxiang's accumulated experience. Serena does not have this kind of accumulation. She has only had one experience in her life, and this one is very tiring. She has no comparison and no narration. Most of the time she is too busy to cope with it and has no energy to sum up the experience and lessons.
She drank her milkshake and looked at the handsome guy opposite her with a sunny smile, and thought to herself, James is not like that.
James also has bright and white teeth, but his skin color is brownish, and his smile is wicked, with a prickly feeling of eagerness to try, which has nothing to do with sunshine. He has the habit of fitness and manages his body beautifully. After taking a shower , he does not wear a shirt, and a pair of white silk pants hang loosely around his waist, which is a very beautiful sight.
Thinking of this, Serena summed up the first experience: the mermaid line is a good thing, and it is most attractive when it is half-covered by water droplets.
Her face turned red and she stopped talking.
No matter how good the thing is...it will never belong to her, so what's the point of thinking about it!
"Miss Xie, why don't you speak?"
The one who interrupted her thoughts was a new friend, whose surname was Liu. Handsome Liu was the most sunny and cheerful among the three handsome guys, and he had dimples when he smiled.
“I’m not good at chatting.”
"I don't know how either. It's just perfect. Let's get together as a couple."
Handsome Liu gave Serena a charming smile that made her dizzy. She took two gulps of her milkshake and became even more anxious about why the pizza hadn't arrived yet.
"Serena, relax!" Shen Qingxiang patted Serena hard, "We are here to have fun!"
Serena was almost vomiting because of her slapping, so she could only reluctantly chat , "Does Mr. Liu come here often?"
"Come often. Wangchuan is the most high-quality bar in the new district. It's the business of Mr. Lu Er. He pays attention to people."
"Oh, then, Mr. Liu's job should be quite easy."
Handsome Liu looked at her and suddenly burst out laughing, "Ms. Xie is really cute. Qingxiang, where did you get such a simple girl from? I'm embarrassed to flirt with her!"
Shen Qingxiang leaned against a handsome guy and laughed wildly, "Our Serena may be innocent, but she's not easy to tease. Don't underestimate her."
Handsome Liu raised his hand and said, "No, no , Miss Xie doesn't drink alcohol in the bar, she only drinks milkshakes. She looks at the three of us like she's looking at air. Not many people have this kind of self-control."
Shen Qingxiang laughed and hugged Serena, "You were very eloquent at work, why are you mute now? You just don't come to places like this often. It doesn't matter. Sister will take you to see the world more often in the future. Sooner or later, you will be able to come down to earth. Let's go out and have some fun."
Shen Qingxiang pulled her off the dance floor. Under the psychedelic lights, they went crazy following the music that resounded through the heavens and earth. This was indeed better than just sitting there and chatting awkwardly. Serena finally felt relaxed.
Back to the booth, the pizza delivery man arrived.
The delivery guy was wearing a baseball cap that covered half of his face. He was estimated to be 183cm tall or above. He stood outside the booth like a fir tree and handed the pizza to Serena. Serena took it and politely said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The young man got back quickly.
Serena was stunned for a moment.
After replying, the young man lowered the brim of his hat and turned away."Wow, the pizza is finally here!" said handsome Liu and came to help.Serena sat down with the pizza in her hand suspiciously, opened it suspiciously, and quickly closed it when handsome Liu was about to touch the pizza box." Hey , what's wrong?""...Can you please pour me a drink?"Serena casually sent the man away and then opened the pizza box again. The pizza was still the same pizza , but the problem was that there was a sticky note stuck on the lid. She couldn't see what was written on it in the dazzling light, but the handwriting was very familiar.It’s James’s name.Serena peeled off the sticky note, held it in her palm, and looked around anxiously, but the delivery boy was gone.He actually followed her to the bar in disguise...Is this necessary? Even if he was so angry that he had to come to her to make trouble, he could just do it in fro
It was not known how long it had been, or maybe not long, when Serena heard Shen Qingxiang's call, and she realized that James had left."Serena, are you okay?" Shen Qingxiang squatted down hurriedly to check. Serena's hair was disheveled and she was wrapped in a bright yellow coat. She was holding her knees and shaking, and she looked like something was wrong."It's okay, I just... I just have a stomachache. Maybe the milkshake was too cold. I feel much better now. I shouldn't have texted you." Serena forced a smile."If you have something wrong, tell me! How about I take you to the hospital and we can play together another day.""No, I'm going to the bathroom, you go back and wait for me, really, I'm fine."Shen Qingxiang supported her worriedly, and put her hand on her coat. At first glance, it looked like a coat worn by a takeaway boy, but the texture was good and it was a big brand. She asked curiously, "Your coat..."It was a costume
"Of course I'm happy! I still remember that Dr. Lin, your Huaiyang cuisine is top-notch!"Serena had only taken a few bites of the pizza and her stomach was still rumbling with hunger. When she heard about Huaiyang cuisine , she couldn't help but look longing."I believe you really want to eat it. Okay, come over when you have time and I'll make it for you."Lin Boting said, motioning her to sit down. Serena then remembered her mission and waved her hands, "I almost forgot, I still need... um... your cell phone number...""truth or Dare?"Serena glanced at the booth and nodded slightly."It seems that today is not a good time to reminisce about the past." Lin Boting glanced behind her, "Miss Shen Er is waiting for you, go quickly.""Then your number..."Lin Boting smiled slightly, "It has never changed, you have it."As soon as Serena returned, Liu Shuai praised her, "Serena is amazing and she won it in one go. She is stil
The doctor in a white coat looked at Serena and then at Lin Boting, and understood what he meant. "Boting, I'm fine now. I'll treat you to tea next time.""OK."After sending the doctor away, Lin Boting asked, "Are you just here or are you going back?""go back.""Would you mind giving me a ride?"Serena smiled, "With great pleasure."Serena's apricot-colored car glowed in the sunset . She opened the door and said jokingly , " Don't be disgusted, Doctor Lin."Lin Boting got into the car and said, "No, I came here by subway. You still have a car."He took the subway just because he wanted to. In fact, Lin Boting's family was wealthy. His parents were both industry leaders. He had been pampered since childhood and could afford any car. However, he had strict upbringing, a gentle personality and never liked to show off. He had been like this since Serena had known him, and no one disliked him."Doctor Lin is going home now?"
Before Serena could even ask what was going on, her phone was knocked away.Strictly speaking, she was knocked to the ground and her phone fell out.Two men with crew cuts appeared in the room at some point. They looked young, wearing hoodies and jeans , but their arms were covered with tattoos.One of them , holding a cigarette in his mouth , directed the other, "Ajie, tie them up first before we play!"Ajie pressed on Serena, tied her hands behind her back and tied them up with cable ties. While tying them up, he pinched the woman's butt, which was plump and elastic, not bad."Don't worry, boss. I'm a professional and the employer's requirements are the most important!"After tying up the man, Ajie kicked him and made an OK gesture to the boss.The boss was more professional than him. He walked to Serena's cell phone and stepped on it. Serena clearly heard the sound of the phone breaking. She realized that it was not a dream but a r
Serena's tense nerves were completely broken at this moment. She gasped and struggled violently, and then was supported by a pair of warm big hands."It's okay, it's okay now." Lin Boting held her in his arms and comforted her, "I'll untie the cable tie right away, and we'll go to the hospital right away. The police are here, Serena."Serena rested her head on his chest and hummed. With his comfort, she tried to calm down, but her stress reaction was so strong that she had a hard time.In addition to Lin Boting, a group of armed police officers also rushed into the room. Lao Da and Ajie had no ability to resist at all and were subdued in minutes.Ajie shouted, "Damn, you dare to arrest us, do you know who is behind us?"The boss yelled, "Shut up!""Boss, tell them and scare them to death!"Ajie straightened his neck and was about to announce this scary name when he was kicked in the face.ones who kicked him were not police boot
Before leaving, James paused and didn't look back.“Lin Boting, has my elder brother ever told you that I have no conscience?”This incoherent remark certainly aroused Chen Xiaoyu's suspicion, but James did not explain. Lin Boting watched his back disappear and turned around after a while.The ward returned to peace. He quietly sat down beside the bed and said to the person on the bed, "They're gone. You can wake up now."Serena opened her eyes and touched her nose sheepishly, "Is it that obvious?""It's not obvious. He pretends well. But I'm a doctor. I can tell whether he's awake or not."Lin Boting helped her sit up, and Serena said solemnly, "Thank you!""I've thanked you before, and I accept it.""This thank you is for helping me send them away."Lin Boting smiled and said , "I know that you and James have been at odds for a long time." He paused, "But this time you were saved thanks to him."When Lin Boting arr
Sister Sun prepared for Serena was light and tasty, very different from the set meal delivered by the hospital, but Serena had a poor appetite and felt full after eating half a bowl.After dinner, she sat on the sofa waiting for someone, and fell asleep while waiting .In the dim light, someone was fiddling with her hair. The slightly rough fingertips slid across her eyebrows and brushed away the loose hair in front of her forehead. Then the smell of fir gradually invaded her, and someone came closer.Serena opened her eyes at the moment when James was about to touch her, so she happened to meet his eyes. There was a strong emotion in his eyes, which disappeared before she could make out clearly."Sleeping here dressed like this, sister-in-law is so impatient?"Serena threw away the cotton pajamas she wore in the old house. She picked up a dark green silk suspender nightgown and put it on. After putting it on, she remembered that it was a gift fr
