Chapter 74 Disappointment

The first light of the morning wakes up the sleeping people.Awakening before consciousness is perception, and the fragrance of powder lingering at the tip of his nose makes Qi Nuliang feel strange and at a loss, as if a long dream has extended to reality.

The dull pain in his head made him want to fall into a deeper sleep, but the feeling of instability at this time forced him to open his heavy eyelids.

His vision was blurry, and he blinked before it gradually became clear.What fell into his sight were blue curtains and strange chandeliers, not a home or a guest room in Xijiaocheng, he couldn't remember where he was for a moment.Until he turned his head and saw that familiar, yet quite unfamiliar sleeping face.

For a moment, all kinds of things from last night flooded into his mind, and Qi Nuliang almost jumped out of bed.

Bamei Rong was still asleep, sleeping peacefully, breathing evenly and long.

Suppressing the panic in his heart, he lay upright on the bed as if frozen, thinking about it carefully.

Started to drink at KTV, Hua Tsai sent him back after the end, he did not go home but came to Rong Bamei to continue drinking, he was really depressed, he confided to her the mistakes he made in the past... and then?Then what happened again, Qi Nuliang couldn't remember at all.

He held his breath and gently lifted the quilt.

When he saw the topless body, he felt despair.Looking further down, the underwear was still on, which made him feel a little lucky from all the signs.

It's just that he is not allowed to think too much at this moment, and he is not ready to face all this.He got up from the bed briskly, picked up the clothes and pants at the foot of the bed and put them on, barefooted, and walked quickly to the door.When he closed the doorknob, he stepped back, took out all the money in his pocket, and pressed his Zippo lighter against the head of the bed.

Gently open the door, then gently close it...

"Uncle Qi, when did you come to my house? Why haven't I seen you?"

Qi Nu's conscience almost jumped out.

He turned his head and saw Rong Xiaodie sitting on the sofa, the cartoon was playing silently on the TV, she was holding a bag of potato chips, her eyes were wide open, looking at him in surprise.

Qi Nuliang was very embarrassed, his throat tightened: "Shh... your mother is still sleeping, don't wake her up."

The little girl nodded and watched him go out.

Returning to his home as if fleeing, Qi Nuliang ducked into the bathroom.Under the shower head, he rubbed his face fiercely in the wanton spray of water.

Rong Bamei is the only one who is willing to listen to him and understand him a little bit. She is his only friend.Now that this kind of thing happened, how could he be worthy of others, and how would he get along with him in the future?The more he thought about it, the more he felt annoyed and regretful.

He took a hasty shower, his mind was in a mess, he opened the toilet door sullenly, and almost bumped into Jiang Yu who was standing outside the door.

"Brother, you are back."

He hurriedly took half a step back: "What are you doing standing here? Do you need to use the toilet?"

Qi Nuliang stepped aside, but Jiang Yu didn't go in.Only then did he see that the child was holding the clothes he had just taken off, and he didn't know what to do.

"The clothes are dirty and need to be washed, so you can throw them in the washing machine."

Jiang Yu looked straight at him: "Where did you go last night?"

"...I had something to do last night." Qi Nuliang prevaricated, squeezed past Jiang Yu, and went to the room to get dressed.

When he came out, Jiang Yu was still standing there, holding a few dirty clothes, and kept looking at him.

Qi Nuliang took the car keys on the table, and looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was not yet seven o'clock: "Did I wake you up when I came back, come have breakfast with me, or go to bed later?"

"You just came back and are leaving?"

"...Ah, I have some things to deal with today." Qi Nuliang was a little afraid to look directly into the boy's eyes, and bowed his waist to put on his shoes at the door, "Why don't you go back to bed and sleep for a while, get up early, I've been in a bad mood all day." After finishing speaking, he ran away as if fleeing.

The door was closed, the sound of footsteps faded away, Jiang Yu tightened his fingers holding the clothes, his nose felt a little sore.

In the past, when Qi Nuliang didn't come home at night, apart from the mixture of tobacco and alcohol and his own smell on his clothes, there was always the same smell of incense.Jiang Yu had also smelled that smell in places like restaurants, and with this smell, he could roughly guess where the man who hadn't returned home at night had gone.

But this time, the smell of incense turned into the smell of powder and perfume.His mother used to like to put on makeup and sprinkle some perfume on her body, Jiang Yu will definitely smell it wrong.Based on this, no matter where Qi Nuliang lived last night, there must be a woman by his side.

Qi Nuliang already had a woman.This guess made Jiang Yu a little short of breath.No wonder he always spends the night out recently and doesn't come home every night.No wonder he cared and cared a lot less about himself, and only used pocket money to perfunctory.

Jiang Yu buried his face in the clothes in his hand, once again distinguishing the annoying and angry fragrance from the many Qi Nuliang's smells.

The smell that entered from the nasal cavity was sour like a tide all the way, the sourness pickled his heart, squeezed out fresh blood, and re-injected the bitter juice.

However, apart from this bitterness, there was nothing he could do.He couldn't lock up Qi Nuliang, so that he couldn't leave, and stayed by his side every day, instead of contacting other people.

What should he do?

He stuffed all these clothes into the washing machine and poured washing powder into it frantically, wishing to make the clothes look like new again immediately.

However, after a while, the foam stirred up by the rotating bucket seeped out from the top and spread all over the floor.He frantically disposed of the foam, but it was still getting more and more, and the bathroom had already flooded his calf.He was powerless and aggrieved, he just wanted to wash off the smell on his clothes.

The door rang at this moment, Jiang Yu hurriedly rushed to open the door, and said "Brother" stuck in his throat.

Outside the door, it wasn't Qi Nuliang who went and returned, but the person who came was Bamei Rong.

She didn't care about Jiang Yu's fluttering of his sleeves and trouser legs, and he was a bit embarrassed, so she asked, "Where's Qi Nuliang?"

"What do you want him for?" Some kind of sixth sense made him instantly alert.

"Is he there?" Rong Bamei stretched her neck to look into the room, and shouted loudly, "Qi Nuliang..."

"He's not at home," Jiang Yu cut off her words, "I came back in the morning and took a shower, and left after I had something to do."

"Oh……"

Seeing Bamei Rong hesitate, Jiang Yu asked again: "What do you want from him? He hasn't been back recently. If you want something to do, if he comes back again, I will let him go down to find you."

"No, it's nothing." Rong Bamei took out a roll of money from her pocket, "When he comes back, you just return the money to him... I borrowed it from him not long ago."

"it is good."

After explaining, Bamei Rong turned around and went downstairs, her long hair carrying a scent of fragrance.

Jiang Yu was struck by lightning, and the tortured smell he had just smelled reappeared, which clearly confirmed a certain speculation, not to mention that he still had this crumpled "prostitution money" as a evidence.

How could it be repaying the money? Whoever borrowed the money still borrowed the whole thing?Rong Bamei's excuse is full of loopholes.

Only when Qi Nuliang gave money, he habitually took out all the cash on his body.Only he habitually stuffed a handful of money into his trouser pocket, even if he flattened it again, it would still be full of creases.

Jiang Yu jumped up suddenly, the woman who accompanied Qi Nuliang all night was Rong Bamei.

He sat down on the sofa, holding these "criminal evidence" with one hand and pinching his temple with the other, forcing himself to calm down.

From Qi Nuliang's behavior of giving money, Jiang Yu guessed that he might just be on a whim, not really emotional.From Rong Bamei's action of paying back the money, he deduced that she was the one who was emotional.Serving others with your body is the same, whether you are doing business or really like it, the only difference is whether you take money or not.

Judging from this conclusion, Qi Nuliang did not fall in love with her, which made Jiang Yu heave a sigh of relief.But at the same time, it shows that Qi Nuliang has also done what the man he hates the most will do, which makes him feel more tortured.

After all, why did he decide that Qi Nuliang was different from other men?

Qi Nuliang has neither good knowledge nor good moral character, and his brain is not very good.Jiang Yu knew all these things, but he still wished to think that Qi Nuliang was different from others, just like he wished to think that Qi Nuliang would really be with him forever.

Jiang Yu pressed his chest, he was very disappointed and heartbroken, but most of all he was sad.

Because even though Qi Nuliang is not that good, he is only him, Jiang Yu still doesn't want to lose even a little bit.

Since it was Bamei Rong who had such thoughts about him, let's get rid of her thoughts first.

Two days later, he took out two hundred yuan from his private money, and after thinking about it, he took another three hundred yuan.He took the money returned by Bamei Rong, plus his extra five hundred yuan, and knocked on the door of her house.

Seeing the money Jiang Yu handed over, Rong Bamei was a little puzzled: "Why did you give me the money?"

"I don't know, my brother gave it to me." Jiang Yu pretended to be at a loss, and then put the money into Rong Bamei's hand, "You asked me to return the money to my brother last time, but he didn't accept it, saying that if you think it's too little , he added five hundred."

Jiang Yu saw that her expression had changed a few times, but it was not good.He added at the right time: "He also told you not to misunderstand."

"What did I misunderstand?" Rong Bamei's tone was sullen.

"I don't know, I'm just passing on a message."

Rong Bamei frowned: "Qi Nuliang really asked you to come?"

"Yes, he stayed home for a while this morning, and I will give him the money as you said, that's what he told me." Jiang Yu showed just the right amount of doubt and honesty, "If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask him. Do you have his phone number?"

"No, you tell him I'll take the money."

Bamei Rong took out a cigarette and lit it, seeing Jiang Yu still standing in front of her: "Is there anything else?"

"No." Jiang Yu retracted his gaze from staring at her lighter, turned and left.

Walking to the yard, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Bamei Rong is not easy to fool, but he estimated that a person like her who has excessive self-esteem and saves face at other times will not confront Qi Nuliang in person when it comes to this kind of matter.

As expected, this guess was correct, but Jiang Yu also noticed the lighter in her hand.That style looks like Qi Nuliang's, is it a coincidence, or is it really his brother's?

And Qi Nuliang, he had to let him go home quickly, not under his nose, there were so many Zhang Bamei and Li Jiumei outside.He didn't want this to happen again.
