"Is that so? Hahaha, there are actually men at your age who don't know how to smoke." The woman laughed heartily. Although it was a bit funny, it didn't sound like she was mocking, but rather with a smile.
A little novelty.
Zhang Ke blushed slightly and scratched his head, and said: "My family used to be very strict, and my parents didn't smoke. My parents didn't allow me to have contact with them after work, so I never had the chance to learn..."
"It doesn't matter. It's a good thing not to smoke. You don't have to learn it." The woman took out an exquisite women's zippo lighter. Upon closer inspection, it was a Hello Kitty limited edition. She elegantly lit the cigarette in her hand and put it in her mouth.
He took a gentle breath, and then blew out a handful of rose-scented smoke rings:
"Originally, this cigarette is not a good thing. No matter how much it claims to reduce the nicotine content, or what kind of aromatherapy, essential oils, endosperm, enzymes are added, but we all know that once it is burned, it will be burnt smoke - but
, sometimes I just can’t do without it, otherwise I always feel like my mind can’t be completely clear and my energy can’t be lifted.”
"Uh, ha, haha..." Faced with her muttering to herself, Zhang Ke could only smile awkwardly. After all, he couldn't handle this topic at all.
"From the way you talk, the temperament you display, and the clothes you wear with your mobile phone, even if you are not a wealthy person or a social elite, at least you are an ordinary person who lives a decent and regular life, right? How could you fall to that point?
"The woman asked, "It looks like you are running away from something. Is someone trying to settle a score with you?"
"Your vision is surprisingly vicious." Zhang Ke said with a wry smile, "Indeed, someone wants to 'settle accounts' with me, and that's in a literal sense."
"After all, I've probably come into contact with more men than you have ever seen in your life." The woman's words sounded like self-deprecation, but they also contained a hint of unspeakable bitterness, but Zhang Ke couldn't tell from her face.
Above, I saw a little bit of haze.
"What is your usual job..." Zhang Ke just subconsciously asked this question, and immediately regretted it. From the social butterfly temperament exuding from the woman, her skillful gestures when holding the cigarette, and the almost self-destructive words just now, it was basically
It is certain that she is the type of woman who often hangs out in romantic places.
Either she is a rich lady who is obsessed with feasting and playing with young and handsome men, or she is...
"She should be similar to your first impression. She is an ordinary bartender." To Zhang Ke's surprise, the woman was so carefree that she even admitted it frankly. Her tone was like saying "I am a teacher."
, "I am a nurse" is also not hidden at all.
"Uh, ah... Actually, not all escort girls are... No, what I mean is..." Zhang Ke realized that his previous behavior was a bit offensive, and he quickly wanted to say something to make up for it, but then he realized that he had completely changed
You have to be so clumsy and tongue-tied that no matter what you say, it seems like you are trying to cover up something and add insult to injury.
"You're so cute." The woman burst out laughing, gently tapped Zhang Ke's forehead with a finger painted with unusually bright red nail polish, and said, "Okay, stop thinking about words, I know you
There is no malice, this is just a normal reaction of ordinary people. After all, being a bartender is not an honorable job. But I make my own money to support myself, and I never have sex with customers. I just have a clear conscience."
"You are such a transparent person..." In the end, Zhang Ke could only say this with emotion, and this was indeed his true feeling.
The charming, charming, cheerful, and funny woman in front of me does have a more open and bright temperament than the average promiscuous woman. People cannot associate her with words such as self-indulgence and despicable slut.
.
"By the way, my name is Xu Xiaoli, and you." The woman stretched out her hand towards Zhang Ke and said, "I know you may be in trouble now, so you are wandering around in such a miserable state, but it shouldn't hurt to tell me your name, right?
"
"Well, my name is Zhang Ke." The other party is basically his savior. Although Zhang Ke feels that life has been meaningless recently, he is still very grateful for Xu Xiaoli's help, so he does not hesitate to give his real name.
told the other person.
"I'm really grateful to you for saving me, a stranger, and for arranging a nursing home for me. However, I still have the most basic sense of shame. I can't shamelessly trouble you any more." After Zhang Ke finished speaking, he stood up.
, "Please leave me your contact information. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay this kindness."
"Hey, don't get up. The doctor said you're still very weak! You're really a shameless person. I told you that it's not a big deal to arrange a bed for you." Xu Xiaoli quickly stretched out her two arms.
With his hands, he reluctantly pushed Zhang Ke back onto the bed.
——Strange, isn't she very strong? Judging from how easily she could bend the strong man's arm before, it should be effortless to press herself onto the bed, who has little strength due to her weakness.
, why does it seem so laborious now?
Probably because he didn't want to hurt himself, he deliberately restrained his efforts, but it was a bit difficult to handle, right? Zhang Ke guessed this and didn't take it to heart anymore.
"Besides, the reason why I took you here is not just to imitate Lei Feng and do good deeds." Xu Xiaoli added, "Actually, I didn't want to say it just now because I was afraid that you would be too worried and worried, which would affect your physical recovery."
"Uh...what happened?" Zhang Ke couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he heard her tone.
"Your mental state has been bad recently, right? I'm not talking about fatigue and lack of rest, but about your memory or even self-awareness. There should be some problems, right?" Xu Xiaoli asked tentatively.
road.
"You... how did you know?!" Zhang Ke was shocked and straightened up quickly and asked, "Could it be... that it was also diagnosed by the doctor here? But I have been in a coma until now. I have mental problems.
, can you tell just by lying down?"
"Sure enough...you really have such symptoms." Xu Xiaoli showed a worried look and said, "You don't know yet, the full name of this sanatorium is...Bianhua Mental Health Center."
"Spiritual...recuperation?" Zhang Ke repeated these two words with special meaning.
"Well... although it's a bit hard to say, most of the people living here are people with serious mental deficiencies, mental illnesses or cognitive impairments..."
"So, this is a madhouse?" Zhang Ke asked in disbelief.
