Chapter 18 A Blushing Part-time Job

Yu Li didn't expect that Yan Shiheng would take the initiative to apologize to her because of the door lock.

She couldn't answer the question for a moment, so she could only tilt her head and respond in a low voice, "Well, it's actually nothing. I will apply to the landlord for a spare key."

"Thank you."

"Also, I should also apologize to you. Just, when I yelled at you today...actually, I did it with a little bit of personal emotion."

"sorry."

Yu Li's "I'm sorry" came suddenly. Yan Shiheng was silent for a while, and only said a low "hmm", but he was very measured and did not ask what the "private emotions" Yu Li mentioned were about.

The two of them fell into silence, and the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward.

Yan Shiheng made an excuse to go down to throw out the trash, and Yu Li was the only one left in the room.

The mobile phone at hand vibrated twice, indicating that the work group had urgent matters to deal with.

Yu Li took over as usual.

She was staring at the screen with all her concentration, her fingers tapping on the keyboard without stopping.

Yu Li was so focused that he didn't even notice that Yan Shiheng was back.

When she finished the work at hand, she heard a noise from the kitchen.

Yu Li turned his gaze towards the kitchen.

She saw Yan Shiheng's back.

This was the first time she saw Yan Shiheng standing by the sink during non-dish-washing time.

"What are you doing?"

There was intermittent movement in the kitchen, and Yu Li couldn't help but curiously asked.

"When I went downstairs to throw away the garbage, I met the proprietress of the small commodity store who was walking. She asked me why you didn't come down with me. I told her that your toe was injured. After that, she gave me a home remedy. Let me go to the pharmacy to get the medicine according to the prescription."

"Chinese medicine prescription?"

Yan Shiheng nodded.

He gave the medicine list written to him by the landlady to Yu Li, who naturally took it.

"...Grind Panax notoginseng into powder, mix it with wine, and apply it to the blood stasis."

"I've already done it. Do you want to apply it yourself or should I help you?"

Yan Shiheng took the bowl of panax notoginseng mixture from the kitchen and returned to the sofa.

Yu Li looked at the mixture in the bowl, then picked up the bowl and got closer to smell it.

She frowned, looked at Yan Shiheng and said, "This tastes wrong. Did you buy it wrong?"

Yan Shiheng's eyebrows slightly raised, and he followed Yu Li's example and smelled the mixture, but he didn't notice anything was wrong.

"Did you buy the wrong thing?"

"Bring the Panax notoginseng powder and wine you bought and show them to me."

"good."

There is indeed no problem with Panax notoginseng powder, but the problem with wine is bigger.

"No, who makes medicinal vodka at home?"

Yu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he picked up the vodka bottle with a strong alcohol smell.

Yan Shiheng, “She didn't tell me what kind of wine to use."

Yu Li raised his eyebrows and said, "It's true that you can buy vodka..."

Yu Li smiled helplessly, "Generally, the wine used to assist in the preparation of medicines is fermented wine made from starch or sugar raw materials, or distilled wine made from fermented mash after distillation. The most common liquor in supermarkets will suffice."

After hearing Yu Li's popular science, Yan Shiheng asked her why she knew this.

Yu Li smiled and said, “My grandma told me all this. My grandma knows a lot about traditional Chinese medicine. When I was sick, I rarely went to the hospital. My grandma would treat me personally."

Speaking of Grandma Yu, Yu Li's eyes became sparkling, like opal stones in the sun.

Seeing the happy expression on Yu Li's face, an extremely serious and cold face with almost no expression flashed in Yan Shiheng's mind.

A confinement room without a trace of light.

A birthday cake with a hidden razor blade.

…

Unbearable memories welled up, and Yan Shiheng's eyebrows grew colder little by little.

Yu Li keenly felt Yan Shiheng's emotional changes.

She suddenly thought that Yan Shiheng probably had no relatives or friends in Xuncheng. Otherwise, he would not choose to rent a simple single room with her, a stranger.

Yan Shiheng had never taken the initiative to talk to her about anything about him, including his past.

Although Yu Li was a little curious, he would not take the initiative to ask.

The relationship between her and this man was just a transaction of interests.

When he takes the initiative to move out of this house, the two of them will no longer have anything to do with each other.

…

"How about I go buy some liquor now and mix it again?"

Yan Shiheng's voice interrupted Yu Li's thinking.

Yu Li picked up the phone and glanced at the time on the screen.

"No, thank you. I just have to go out for a while, so I'll buy it myself when I come back."

Yan Shiheng reminded, “Your foot is injured."

Yu Li waved his hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, this little pain can still be tolerated."

Seeing Yu Li's persistence, Yan Shiheng could not say anything more.

Half an hour after Yu Li left, Yan Shiheng received a text message.

…

Twenty minutes later, Yan Shiheng, dressed in black, appeared at the door of an underground bar in the north of the city.

The bar is open, so you don't need to see your ID card, you can enter by paying money.

After Yan Shiheng handed over five hundred cash to each of the strong men guarding the door, the two of them smiled at him like flowers.

"Who are you looking for, boss?"

Yan Shiheng reported a series of numbers.

"2617."

"Yes, please come this way, boss."

Under the guidance of the strong man, Yan Shiheng arrived at the door of a private room.

"Boss, this is an exclusive box for SVIP. You can only enter and exit with a special access card. This is your card."

After taking the black magnetic card, Yan Shiheng placed the magnetic card on the door handle of the door.

After a "tick" sound, the door automatically moves to the right.

Yan Shiheng walked in with his long legs.

…

At the same time, Yu Li looked awkwardly at himself wearing a rabbit ear headdress in the mirror.

She looked at the beauties beside her who were wearing heavy makeup and low-cut tops, and asked cautiously, “Excuse me, is our job really just to let customers buy bars? I don't need to accompany them to drink bars?"

Looking into Yu Li's clear eyes, the beauty smiled softly and said, “We really don't need to accompany our guests to drink. But, do you think if you don't do anything, why do your guests buy your wine?"

Yu Li lowered his eyes silently.

She felt that what this beauty said made sense.

Looking at Yu Li's pursed lips, the beauty pulled down her collar to reveal the ravine and sighed softly.

"It's not easy to do this. Little sister, if you haven't made up your mind, I advise you to go home as soon as possible and find a serious job."

Putting down this advice, the beauty turned and left the changing room.

Yu Li opened the door of the lounge and looked at the night club with flashing rainbow lights at the end of the corridor.

Powerful music, hot and ambiguous atmosphere.

Yu Li could deeply feel the hormones surging around him without even getting close.

Not far away, a woman's subtle coquettishness could be heard, as well as a man's passionate gasp.

Yu Li Xunsheng couldn't help but glance to the side, but unexpectedly saw a scene that made her blush and heartbeat.
