Shan Pao said with a smile: "Wan Lin, you woke up as soon as I mentioned washing your hair and hitting your back. You didn't sleep deeply."
Kan Wanlin smiled awkwardly: "My cervical vertebra and shoulders are not good. I was dreaming of a massage. I woke up when I heard you talk about tapping my back. So what? I'll settle the bill. I'll do it."
Shan Pao laughed loudly: "Come on, man, come to my brother's place and I can still ask you to pay for it? Isn't that scolding me?"
The three men walked side by side on Tiezha Street, heading straight for Sister Mei's shampoo room. It was now 3:30 in the afternoon, and the wrought iron factories on the street were all operating at full capacity, with the sound of chainsaws, the light of electric welding, and the smell of paint.
All kinds of hair washing rooms and massage rooms have just opened. It is the most idle time.
Nana and Xiaoya were sitting in the shampoo room, eating melon seeds and watching "The Legend of Zhen Huan". When they saw a customer coming, Nana shouted inside at the top of her voice: "Sister Mei, your old sweetheart is here."
Shan Pao sat down on the chair and said, "Give my brother a full set."
Looking at Kan Wanlin again, he had already met Xiaoya's eyes with a smile on his face, and was about to read someone's palm.
Nana also came over to help Shan Pao squeeze his shoulders and said, "Brother Shan Pao, wait a moment, Sister Mei is talking to someone."
Shanpao laughed and said: "Talking about P, let's have sex in the back."
Nana pinched Shan Pao's stubby neck and said, "Brother Shan Pao, you are so annoying. People ignore you."
Shanpao chuckled and rubbed Nana's leg dishonestly with one hand.
Five minutes later, Sister Mei and Zhao Yufeng came out of the backyard. She patted her chest and said, "Brother, this matter has been taken care of by my sister."
When Zhao Yufeng saw Shan Pao and Liu Handong, he was not embarrassed at all. He said hello and left in a hurry.
Shan Pao asked: "Mei Zi, we are really talking about something."
Sister Mei said: "Well, we're talking about the rent. It's about to expire. So, Brother Dong, please come in. Your sister has been looking forward to your coming all day." Then she dragged Liu Handong to the backyard, Huanxi
Is sitting in the house.
"You guys have a good chat." Sister Mei smiled and closed the door.
Liu Handong was smelling of alcohol and his face was flushed. Huanxi quickly picked up a thermos bottle and poured it into a basin of warm water, stirred a towel for him, poured him another cup of tea, pressed Liu Handong on a chair and rubbed his temples.
"You know how to serve people, did Sister Mei teach you?" Liu Handong asked.
"I know how to do it at home. I took care of my mother when she was paralyzed on the bed." Huanxi went to wash out the towel again.
"Did you send the money back?" Liu Handong asked.
"Well, I've paid off some of my debts, and my brother's tuition for this year has been paid."
Liu Handong stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest. Soon he started snoring. Huanxi gently covered him with a blanket and sat quietly aside.
The familiar snapping sound came from the running room next door, and I didn't know which hero was fighting hard.
It was already dusk when Liu Handong woke up. He stood up and stretched. When he saw Huanxi still sitting on the bench at the door looking at him, he asked her: "Have Shanpao and the others left?"
"They are going back first." Huanxi smiled brightly.
"What are you laughing at?" Liu Handong touched his face.
"You still drool while sleeping." Huanxi smiled and showed two small tiger teeth, which was very cute.
Liu Handong took out his wallet, thought for a while, took out a hundred yuan and put it on the table.
Huanxi hurriedly grabbed the money and stuffed it back: "Brother, I don't want your money."
Liu Handong said: "How can you not charge money when you are doing business?"
Huanxi's eyes were red: "I regard you as my brother, so I can't accept your money."
Liu Handong had no choice but to collect the money, tidy up his clothes, and walk out of the house. Sister Mei and the others were watching TV in the store. When Liu Handong came out, they said hello and continued watching TV.
"Go back." Liu Handong said to Huanxi who was escorting him out.
"Brother, please drive carefully." Huanxi said, leaning on the door frame.
When Liu Handong walked away, Sister Mei hurried over and asked, "He didn't do anything, did he?"
Huan Xi blushed: "I just slept all afternoon and didn't do anything."
"It's okay if you don't do it, you're worried about me." Sister Mei patted her chest and took Huanxi back to the house: "Quickly, change clothes, it's too late."
Under Sister Mei's command, Huanxi changed into a set of black lace underwear, jeans and a white shirt and sneakers, combed her hair in a ponytail, and picked up a backpack to carry.
"Well, she looks like a high school girl." Sister Mei put her chin in her hand and said with satisfaction.
After changing their clothes, Sister Mei took Huanxi out and prepared to take a taxi into the city. However, it was the time when taxis took over and they couldn't get a taxi at all. The 520 bus didn't reach where they were going.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, anxious.
A white Fukang drove over, driven by Liu Handong. He had just picked up the car at the door of the dog meat restaurant and was about to do business. When he saw Sister Mei and Huanxi waiting for the car, he stopped beside them.
"Where to go?"
"Go to... Hot Spring Town to see a friend." Sister Mei said.
"Get in the car." Liu Handong said.
Sister Mei couldn't help being happy. She opened the car door and let Huanxi get into the back seat. She got into the passenger seat and kept complaining about how difficult it was to get a taxi.
"I don't know where the taxi went?" Sister Mei said bitterly.
"There is a traffic jam at this point. The more you drive, the more you lose." Liu Handong drove Fukang skillfully towards Hot Spring Town. This place is considered a suburb of the city with beautiful scenery and many high-end residential areas are located there. Sister Mei said she was going to see friends.
, I'm afraid it's just a pretense, it's more like delivering "meals" to your door.
Liu Handong looked at Huanxi in the rearview mirror. The little girl lowered her head and was in a low mood.
Sister Mei was chatting and laughing and was in high spirits, but Liu Handong stopped talking and drove the car coldly until they were driven to the door of the Shuidu Hotel in Hot Spring Town.
"Thank you, how much is it?" Sister Mei took out her wallet.
"One hundred!" Liu Handong said harshly.
"I'm joking with you Sister Mei again. I'll buy you a pack of good cigarettes later. Wait for me for a while. I have to go back." Sister Mei was still laughing and joking, and she and Huanxi got out of the car and walked towards the hotel.
Liu Handong had already guessed that Sister Mei had brought Huanxi to do business this time. He was furious but helpless. Just like Huanxi said, if you don't buy it yourself, someone will buy it. Huanxi's family is in trouble, and he can help her.
I can't help her for a while, what should happen will still happen. What's annoying is that Huanxi doesn't live up to expectations. Even if she says she doesn't want to, no one can force her.
"Holy shit!" Liu Handong stepped on the accelerator and left. He took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked hard.
"Why are you leaving?" Sister Mei looked back and spat: "Who owes you, let's go to Huanxi."
The Shuidu Hotel is newly built. It is famous for its hot spring water culture. It has a five-star standard. All the people staying there are rich and distinguished people. The spacious hall is magnificently decorated, and there is also a white piano placed in the hall, which highlights the
In line with the cultural style of the hotel.
Sister Mei walked in timidly, sat down on the sofa in the lobby, took out her mobile phone and called: "Zhao Yufeng, I'm here, where are you? Hurry up, I'm waiting for you."
Looking up, Huanxi was looking around cautiously. A group of young people in their twenties came back from outside. They were all wearing uniform T-shirts with the words "The Third International College Student Debate Competition" printed on them. They were talking and laughing.
We came over and took pictures in front of the relief background in the lobby. Huanxi was walking among them with a backpack on his back, and there was no sense of disobedience.
"Hey, classmate, why didn't you change your clothes?" a tall and thin boy asked Huanxi.
"I...I'm not with you." Huanxi hurriedly defended.
"Oh, no wonder it's a bit unfamiliar." The boy smiled at her and said, "You are a student of Jiang University, right?"
"I...I..." Huanxi was speechless.
"I am Ling Zijie from the Chinese Department of Beiqing University. I am the chief debater of the Beiqing team in this debate. It's a pleasure to meet you." The boy smiled brightly.
Although Huanxi was born in a rural area, she still knew basic courtesy. She took the initiative to extend her hand: "Hello, my name is Lan Huanxi."
"Huanxi, that's a nice name." Ling Zijie shook hands with Huanxi and was about to say something else when someone suddenly called him to take a photo, so he smiled at Huanxi and said, "See you later." He ran over quickly.
.
Sister Mei saw this scene, and she felt very proud in her heart. The outfit she had put on for Huanxi was really good, and she was regarded as the same kind by real college students. The jeans from Baleno were really not in vain.
Zhao Yufeng walked out of the revolving door and saw Sister Mei: "Hey, this way."
Sister Mei hurriedly pulled Huanxi forward and followed Zhao Yufeng into the elevator. Just as she was about to press the door close button, a wave of students ran over and crowded the elevator. Ling Zijie stood next to the floor button and asked enthusiastically: "
Lan Huanxi, which floor are you going to?"
Huanxi looked at Sister Mei, and Sister Mei looked at Zhao Yufeng. Zhao Yufeng took a puff of cigarette, stretched out his hand and pressed the button for the sixteenth floor.
Several students were coughed by Zhao Yufeng's smoke.
"Sir, you are not allowed to smoke in the elevator." Ling Zijie said.
Zhao Yufeng glared at him and put out the cigarette, but then there was another sound in his throat and he spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm. Everyone looked sideways with disgusted expressions.
The students got off the eighth floor. Before leaving, Ling Zijie took a deep look at Huanxi and probably noticed that she, Sister Mei and Zhao Yufeng were a little weird together.
Huanxi had a awning on her back and lowered her head deeply. They were all of the same age. They were here to participate in the international debate, but she was here to sell herself. The last look in Ling Zijie's eyes made her feel ashamed.
"Damn, these students are so stupid." Zhao Yufeng lit another cigarette.
"Zhao Yufeng, have the guests arrived?" Sister Mei posed in front of the mirror. She was wearing leopard print and leather skirt and riding boots today, and she felt very sexy about herself.
"The guest has an important meeting and he has to wait. Huanxi can just wait in the room alone. You go back first." Zhao Yufeng held a cigarette in his mouth and took out 10,000 yuan from his bag.
Pass it to Sister Mei.
Sister Mei took it, dipped it in her saliva and started lighting it. Suddenly her hand counting the money stopped because she saw Huanxi's shoulders shrugging.
"Ni'er, don't cry, don't make the leader unhappy, a woman has to take this step sooner or later." Sister Mei felt pity and persuaded softly, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart. Huanxi shouldn't be standing here, but
It should be with those college students.
When they arrived on the 16th floor, Zhao Yufeng led them over and opened the door of room 1618. This was a suite with a hot spring bathroom, a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, and a small doll placed on the large Simmons mattress. Everything showed high-end, even
The faucets are all gold-plated.
Zhao Yufeng looked around and told Huanxi: "Wash yourself clean first. When the guest comes, don't say anything or ask anything. Just help him take off his clothes, take a bath and relax."
, do you understand?”
Huan Xi bit her lip and nodded.
"Let's go." Zhao Yufeng waved and took Sister Mei away.
"Sister, I'm afraid." Huanxi was a little panicked.
"Nier, don't be afraid. You'll be fine after tonight." Sister Mei comforted her and followed Zhao Yufeng out. The door closed, leaving Huanxi alone and helpless.
After leaving the door, Zhao Yufeng and Sister Mei didn't say anything, and stepped on the thick carpet in the corridor and entered the elevator.
"This girl is also very lucky. She sells it for tens of thousands of dollars a time. I fucking want to be a woman." Zhao Yufeng lit another cigarette and puffed away in the elevator.
Sister Mei didn't say anything, she was very confused.
Going down to the lobby on the first floor, Zhao Yufeng went to the underground entertainment club to play cards. Sister Mei was still sitting on the sofa waiting for Huanxi. She lit a cigarette and seemed to see her own youth in the smoke.
Sister Mei was also a good student in her studies when she was a child. She was just a few points away from being admitted to college. Later, she gave up on herself and got pregnant by gangsters in the village. She was tricked into going to the city to start a flesh-and-blood business. From then on, she embarked on a road of no return.
Huanxi has to walk the same path she has walked. This girl is much better at studying than she was back then. If she really needs to work hard to study for another year, it will not be difficult to get into Jiangnan University. Her life should be the same as that of those college students in their prime.
She can sing and laugh to her heart's content, fall in love, find a job, join a foreign company or a state unit, and then find a husband who loves her and is capable, and live happily.
This is the path Huanxi should take.
Sister Mei put out her cigarette in the ashtray, tears streaked her face, and her powder and eye shadow were all stained.
