Ni Jiu - INTOXICATED (NOVEL)

Chapter 16

The Spider Tower and the Climbing Wall are next to each other. After work, Shen Tingwei searched the surroundings carefully but he was not able see the necklace. He thought that it probably fell into the sponge pool under the climbing wall.

The sponge pool is filled with powder and light gray high-density sponge blocks. Finding a necklace is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Shen Tingwei rummaged in the sponge pool for an hour and a half, until it was too hot to bear, so he climbed the edge of the pool to dig out.

The central air conditioner of the venue is automatically turned off when it is off work. The trampoline park has a fully enclosed isolation net for safety. Although the venue is spacious enough, the air does not circulate for a long time. It will be inevitable feel boring after a long stay.

The lukewarm season is bothersome and the fleece-lined spring workwear is too thick. The time to change to summer clothes is still far away. In view of the fact that the boss does not come here often, many employees will secretly put on black sweaters that are thinner than the work clothes. The store manager understands that everyone is hot and simply turns a blind eye.

Shen Tingwei had no clothes to change with, so he could only change the two sets of tooling he got when he joined the job every day.

The weather in April was already 24 to 5 degrees and the indoor temperature was even higher. A thin layer of sweat dripped from the tip of his nose. The sleeves of his sweater were pulled high. He sat by the pool and pulled his neckline to breathe.

Chang Kai took out a bottle of sports drink from the freezer, walked over and sat down beside him: “Uhm, please drink this.”

“Thank you.” Shen Ting took the bottle. He wiped the sweat that fell on his temples with the back of his hand, twisted the cap of the bottle and took a big mouthful his eyes still fell on the sponge pool for a moment.

“Sorry, Weiwei, I’ve delayed you from geting off work.” Chang Xingxing felt a little embarrassed, “How about I invite you to dinner later?”

“No need.” Shen Tingwei shook his head. The corners of his lips drew a gentle arc, as if to comfort her. “I’ll look for it since if a child comes to play tomorrow it may be scratched and it will be more troublesome then.”

“It’s also…” Chang Xing answered in a low voice with her eyes down. She casually kicked away the sponge block close to the pool wall, “Is there a possibility that it fell here? Why don’t we take out the sponges and look for it again? ”

“I’ll looked on other places.” Shen Tingwei screwed the bottle cap on and put it aside. He jumped in again from the edge of the platform, turned his head, raised his face and said, “Let’s remove it first, maybe …”

Shen Tingwei’s line of sight seemed to be refracted by the dazzling light and his voice stopped. Probably because of his frequent use of electronic products his eyes were a little astigmatism and it was a little difficult to see things for a long time. His thin and long eyes narrowed slightly. He really saw the pendant where the broken light flickered.

“Huh? Maybe?” Chang Xing looked at him suspiciously and was about to jump in while she was talking but Shen Tingwei hurriedly stopped her.

“Wait a minute, don’t move!”

Chang Xin was stunned by him. The leg that was stretched out was stuck in the air. She didn’t know whether to fall or retract it, so she could only foolishly keep this position of jumping or not, looking at him: “Why? La?”

Shen Tingwei took a step forward and walked towards her with a pool of sponge blocks, stretched out his hand and twisted the thin chain stuck in the seam of her leg: “Is this it?”
