Vol. 2 Cold Star - Ch. 03 Wine is Like This

Ji Xing sat alone at the bar and drank. She was very restrained when she first came. At night, the alcohol content of the drinks she ordered gradually increased, and she drank faster.

She was absent-minded. While drinking, she always habitually opened her mobile phone to check the screen, but there was no information inside. No business, no personal matters.

Only time flowed bit by bit.

Not long ago, Li Li left. She chatted with Mr. W on the phone for a while, and then she became uneasy. She said she had something to go first, and asked Ji Xing to go home with Tu Xiaomeng and pay attention to safety.

Tu Xiaomeng has not come back since she went dancing. Ji Xing occasionally looked back and saw that she was dancing there for a while and then she was gone.

She sat alone, not knowing whether it was alcohol that was causing the problem. The confidence she had maintained during the day was eroded bit by bit, and her mood became more and more depressed as she drank. The company is now facing a bottleneck, and the next strategy is difficult. If the trip to Germany cannot solve the problem, she will be helpless.

At this time, she would wonder if it was worth losing that person for this.

As she drank, her face turned red and hot. But she didn't want to leave or stop.

Wine is really like this. The more you drink, the worse your mood becomes, and the more you drink, the harder it is to let go.

It was late at night, and after several rounds of music in the bar, some people were lonely, and some were restless.

She was too conspicuous alone, and from time to time a man would sit next to her and try to chat her up and ask her to drink, but she shook her head and refused.

A man smiled and said, "I have no ill intentions, just chat and have a drink."

She supported her head with her hands and smiled apologetically, "I know. But I'm not in the mood now."

"From the looks of you, are you emotionally hurt? Do you want me to help analyze it? Men and women think differently."

Ji Xing felt disgusted and ignored him, just turning her glass quietly.

Seeing this, the other party didn't force it and got up and walked away.

After a while, another young boy came. He was about the same age as Ji Xing. He was dressed well and looked like a rich boy. However, he looked awkward. There was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, which made him look even uglier: "Beauty, would you like a drink?"

Ji Xing looked at his intoxicated and evil smile. During the day, she might have been polite, but now she frowned and said, "No."

"You are so disrespectful, huh?" The other party smiled and leaned against the bar, slapping his palm on the table, revealing the Ferrari car key in his palm.

Ji Xing looked down on him more and said, "I'll be leaving after sitting for a while."

"I saw you sitting here a long time ago, for a while. You left as soon as I came. Where are you going? I'll take you there."

Ji Xing's tone was already bad, and she said, "Why don't you go flirt with other people? I'm not in the mood."

A flash of violence flashed across the other's eyes, which made Ji Xing inexplicably scared. After all, she was alone and weak. Although her brain was slowed down by alcohol, she subconsciously knew to endure it, and she held back any words she wanted to say later.

But the man, who was either drunk or arrogant, started to sneer: "What are you pretending to be? You come here and pretend to be pure and noble? Who are you pretending to be serious for? You put on so much makeup and pretend? Who doesn't come here to have a one-night stand?"
