After the NX trip, the Dongzhou City Public Security Bureau learned about Chen Shu's situation through official channels and gave him a month's sick leave with a stroke of pen.
Chen Shu, who received the notice in the hospital ward of Keshi City, was encouraged by Zhu Li to take this opportunity to visit Chengdu cities in four provinces.
When the flight tickets and hotel were actually booked, Julie blushed.
There is a saying that is very good: There is not much sincerity in this world, and a woman's blush is better than any long conversation.
However, the listless Chen Shu didn't think too much and agreed to Zhu Li's proposal. Unfortunately, when he was about to leave the hospital and prepare to go to Chengdu, Zhu Li received a call and said that he had to go home because of a family emergency.
At that time, Chen Shu just shrugged.
"She must be very sorry."
When Chen Shu was sitting on the balcony of a forty-storey B&B near Taikoo Li, sipping the fragrant coffee extracted from the semi-automatic espresso machine and overlooking the night view of most of the Chengdu city, he sighed in his heart.
At this moment, Chen Shu's appearance has at least restored his previous well-dressed and elegant image, and his white shirt and trousers have been ironed to be extremely neat, and he even has a Longines watch on his wrist - this
It made his already extraordinary temperament look even more attractive.
This set of clothes was specially worn by Julie when he attended the farewell ceremony for Xiaoqiang's body. Since he did not bring his police uniform with him, he had to wear it specially.
Unfortunately, Chen Shu was not interested in appreciating the beautiful scenery at this time. All the calmness and relaxation were the emotional atmosphere he forcibly imposed on himself.
In fact, his mind is still filled with the ups and downs of NX.
Chen Shu, who was not a big drinker, suddenly came up with the idea of getting drunk before resting. He is a self-disciplined person and rarely takes the initiative to indulge himself except with colleagues, friends and classmates.
But recently, he has discovered that whenever his head is about to explode, he will want to find a place to drink. This feeling is very strange. It seems that only drinking can relieve stress and allow him to forget those disturbing things.
A heart-wrenching memory, even if it was just for a short night.
"boom!"
The door was opened.
Chen Shu could hear it, but he was too lazy to think about why or who came.
"Book! Did you miss me?"
A hand wearing AP Oak rested on Chen Shu's left shoulder, and the other hand hooked around his neck. A burst of rum and tobacco created a fragrant men's perfume, and then a familiar face
Just posted it.
Naturally, the one who came was Chen Shu’s good friend, Chen Chuan.
"Julie told me that you went here and sent me the hotel reservation. I thought how could such a wonderful thing be without me, so I decisively asked for annual leave to come and accompany you. How about it, aren't you very touched? Is it enough?
Bro?"
Chen Shu leaned on the sofa, looking at the smiling and somewhat ungrateful man in front of him, and suddenly felt that the stuffiness in his chest was much lessened.
Following his previous habit, he mocked: "Accompany me? You're here to find a beautiful girl, right?"
Chengdu's nightlife is well-known throughout the country. Whether it is the number of nightclubs or the quality of beauties, it has always been a place that people talk about.
"Ha ha!"
Chen Chuan smiled to cover up his embarrassment, then pulled up Chen Shu who was sitting and said without any doubt: "Let's go! Eat hot pot! Drink beer!"
Chen Shu put down his coffee cup, stood up and picked up the suit thrown on the big bed.
The deafening DJ music in the bar, the colorful lights flashing in the dark, the twisting and entwining men and women like snakes, permeated with the indulgent hormonal atmosphere, build another world, just like the darkness we hide in our day life.
the other side.
Music, alcohol, and women can always make people forget something for a short time.
"Sir, what do you need?"
A young man smiled and welcomed Chen Shu and Chen Chuan into the store. Following the instructions of Chen Shu who was walking in front, he led them to a dining table in the corner.
Chen Chuan stretched out his hand to stop it, pointed at an empty booth under the DJ booth and raised his chin.
The young man smiled brightly and reminded: "Sir, our decks in area 0 need to be offset."
Chen Chuan took out a few red bills from his pocket and handed them over: "Please invite a princess."
"Sir, I'm sorry, we don't have a princess here."
Chen Chuan frowned and pointed out a stack of red bills and threw them over: "The one who poured the wine."
The young man quickly shut up and left happily.
After a while, a tall Tiancai girl wearing a hip-hugging skirt and cool clothes came over, bent over Chen Chuan's shoulder, and said in a frivolous tone: "Handsome man, what do you want to drink tonight? Do you want a bottle of black?"
Ace of Peach?”
"Shu, what do you want to drink?"
"Let's have some beer." Chen Shu glanced at the audience without focus and said casually.
"Beer? Are you ready to drink until dawn? Beauty, give me a dozen Dom Perignon, and then bring the snacks and fruits in your store." Chen Chuan chuckled, tilted his head and ordered.
"Okay! Please wait."
At this time, the DJ on the stage was about to start playing DJs, and the warm-up music was not as high as Chen Shu imagined.
After a while, Sister Tiancai led several waiters to bring the wine and snacks.
Chen Shu took out his mobile phone and was about to pay, but Chen Chuan pushed him back.
"Shu, if I stay at your place tonight and drink, it's mine."
Chen Shu was unmoved and put the payment code on his mobile phone in front of the beautiful woman.
His salary is not very high, and according to his past frugal living habits, he would definitely not be willing to buy the wine in this bar.
But today, he just wanted to get drunk one more night.
On the last night, Chen Shu laughed at himself, even he didn't believe it.
The bar was unusually lively tonight, the DJ kept repeating music with a strong rhythm, and the men and women on the dance floor twisted their waists crazily.
In a booth nearby, a greasy middle-aged man held a young "rib nose" in his arms. She was obviously reluctant, but she still turned her head, smiled and hugged the old man.
Six or seven older boys were crowded together in the booth in the back row, and there was a lot of beer on the table. They squeezed together with a few girls and grabbed their fingers. They were in black and white, and the girl's petty mind was clearly visible.
Girls with pretty faces and curvy figures were strung from one booth to another, and then they dragged the sisters from that booth to other booths. She drank with an old man in a booth.
After exchanging a glass of wine, he ran to kiss the older boy in another booth.
Chen Chuan, who was lazily leaning on the sofa, was not surprised by this. He was thinking about Chen Shu and was thinking hard with his brows furrowed.
Unable to figure it out, he took out his white leather cigarette case and took one in his mouth. Just as he was about to light the fire, Sister Tiancai who was standing aside stretched out her hand and wanted to ask for one too.
Unmoved, Chen Chuan lit it for himself, took a slight puff and handed the lit cigarette over. Instant eye contact was sparkling, and the romance of adults was always a little ambiguous in politeness.
At this time, Chen Chuan suddenly realized that women are the essence of nightclubs.
Under his hint, Sister Tiancai understood.
"Handsome guy, I'd like to give you a toast." Sister Tiancai came over, bent down and covered her chest with one hand, and raised her glass to Chen Shu with the other hand.
Chen Shu turned a deaf ear, picked up his wine glass and drank one glass after another, sinking into this world.
Chen Chuan, who was sitting across from him, couldn't help but frown again, thought for a moment, then got up and went to look for the salesperson at the bar.
soon.
"Handsome guy, why don't you go out to drink alone?" A fair-skinned and beautiful young girl with light makeup sat down next to Chen Shu with a glass of cocktail.
She is not tall, nor does she have choppy hair. Her oval face looks original at first glance, and she is very young. Her cute and playful double tails appear in the bar, making her look innocent but a little sexy.
After the girl sat down, she placed the wine glass on the table, and some wine sloshed out of the glass she was not holding firmly.
She hurriedly stretched out her hand to steady the cup and concealed it with a smile: "Hey, this is the first time I've seen someone wearing a suit come to the bar."
Although he drank a lot, Chen Shu squinted his eyes and took a look, and he knew that the girl in front of him, who looked down from time to time, was pretending to be calm, but she was actually quite nervous.
Chen Shu raised his eyes and looked around, and found that Chen Chuan had already disappeared.
The spotlights above the head are colorful, and the people below are releasing their hormones to their heart's content; in the vast and desolate desert, the life-and-death struggle seems like a lifetime ago.
The prosperity of the world is like a big dream, but it must be repaid with loneliness in the end.
"One more dozen. Dom Pérignon."
Chen Shu drank all the wine in his glass and his voice was hoarse.
