【34】

On the black and white keys, a pair of slender hands caressed gracefully and firmly, pressed down, and bounced. Slowly, the fingertips turned crimson, as if angry, and the orderly sound of the piano became intricate, and finally there was a sharp sound. But the short piano sound came to an abrupt end.

An Chujie sat there stiffly, her breathing became short of breath, she got up and poured herself a cup of hot water to drink, then leaned back on the sofa, brushing all her hair behind her head with her five fingers, it has been so long, then That face, that kind of smile, still pops up in An Chujie's mind from time to time, and every time she thinks of Shang Zhuoxi, even her skin feels hot.

She raised her head and poured back the liquid that filled her eyes, she would no longer shed tears for that person.

An Chujie let out a breath, she went back to the room and tidied herself up, feeling like a strand of hair, which could be messed up at the touch of a finger, she finally decided to cut off those long disturbing thoughts.

"An, why did you suddenly figure it out?" Qi Ruan asked An Chujie while taking out her mobile phone and dialing the number.

"Save the trouble." An Chujie smiled and answered simply.

"Ouyang, save a seat for me, I have a distinguished guest here." Qi Ruan looked at An Chujie.

"Okay, boss."

"Your hair is of good quality, Ann, how's the temperature?" Qi Ruan rubbed the satin-like black silk in her hand.

"Okay." Qi Ruan's movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting An Chujie.

"Such beautiful long hair, don't you really feel it's a pity to cut it?" Qi Ruan pursed her lips, feeling sorry for them, but at the same time she was also happy, because it meant that An Chujie began to really let go of the past up.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. Too much of some things will only increase your stress and troubles." An Chujie said with relief.

"Ann, I haven't touched these things for a long time, what should I do if I can't cut them well?" Qi Ruan said so, but his hands have already started to move skillfully.

Looking at each other through the mirror, An Chujie lowered her head and laughed:

"If you can't cut it well...you will be punished carefully."

"Then... how do you want to punish me?" Qi Ruan leaned down and whispered in An Chujie's ear, her eyes full of ambiguous expectations.

"...", An Chujie was helpless, this person would be so excited when she heard the word punishment: "Let's just say it casually, I trust you, the big boss."

"Well, as long as you say it." Qi Ruan's voice was deliberately warm.

"Hey, a lot of people are looking at this side~" An Chujie sat up straight and whispered awkwardly, looking around, the employees in the store kept looking in their direction while talking.

"Oh? Is that so~ Hey, now I'm in the entertainment industry, and I'm going back to my old career for the sake of your professional reputation." After speaking, Qi Ruan straightened up, rolled up her sleeves, picked up a comb and With her hair cut, her expression became serious, and she looked very professional.

When Qi Ruan picked up the scissors, An Chujie inevitably thought of Shang Zhuoxi picking up the scissors, and her heart trembled, but that thought quickly disappeared, and behind her was a completely different person , this person makes her trust and brings her warmth. An Chujie doesn't have many friends, so she especially cherishes Qi Ruan's existence, so she can't allow herself to think of her as that person for a moment.

"...Zhuo Xi, come pick me up after the night shift." Xu Yu'er's tone was not like a request, but like an order.

"Is it still in that place?" Shang Zhuoxi didn't hear a lot of what she said before, but only remembered the last sentence, because the other party's phone was too noisy.

"Yes." Xu Yu'er hung up after finishing speaking, not giving the other party a chance to refuse.

Dim flashing lights are alternately reflected on people's heads. Although it is the winter solstice, the atmosphere in the bar still stays in summer.

The bass player frantically tossed his hair, with strange makeup on his face, he would show evil eyes towards Xu Yuer from time to time, whenever he looked at him, Xu Yuer was more afraid.

At one o'clock in the morning, the nightlife has just begun for these people who are used to being decadent.

The recent continuous late shifts made Shang Zhuoxi feel exhausted, even so, she still came to the bar that Xu Yuer mentioned after work.

Bei Si's men came down to drink two glasses with Xu Yu'er, and she realized that he was not as scary as he looked in his eyes.

"Sorry, I have to go." Xu Yu'er said with an apologetic smile.

"I'll take you out." The man got up and took the clothes hanging behind him and put them on, motioning for Xu Yu'er to come with him.

Shang Zhuoxi leaned on the car, squinting lazily at the neon lights outside the bar, she hated places like bars, she raised her hands and rubbed her temples to try to drive away a trace of tiredness.

Finally Xu Yu'er came out, but there was a man beside her, that man had exaggerated makeup and dress, people couldn't see his real face clearly, but his arms were around Xu Yu'er's waist.

Walking to the street lamp, Xu Yuer looked at the opposite road, then turned around and hooked the man's neck, then leaned closer, said something against his lips, and then showed a seductive smile.

There is nothing more conspicuous than doing things under the street lights. Shang Zhuoxi was surprised at first when he saw the close body of the two, and then his surprise was covered by deep tiredness.

Xu Yu'er crossed the road and walked in front of Shang Zhuoxi, and immediately changed from the gentle and happy face just now to that of a domineering young lady. Without saying a word, she opened the door and got into the car by herself, sitting in the back with her hands folded and saying nothing. hair.

"That bass player is very handsome." Xu Yuer still spoke to break the silence in the car. The atmosphere in the car made her feel depressed.

"Really?" Shang Zhuoxi showed a tired smile.

Another perfunctory smile!

"Yes, he told me a lot about himself.", the implication is, why don't you let me know about your past?

"It's pretty good." Shang Zhuoxi habitually responded to Xu Yuer's words.

Xu Yuer stared angrily at Shang Zhuoxi's eyes in the rearview mirror, her protruding browbones lowered her eyes so that nothing could be read from her face.

"He said that no one can tolerate his girlfriend having intimate contact with others at will!" Xu Yu'er's voice was mixed with subtle crying.

"Hmm." Shang Zhuoxi uttered a monotonous syllable as if talking to himself.

Xu Yu'er was completely irritated by Shang Zhuoxi's attitude. She got up from her seat, slapped the driver indiscriminately, and the steering wheel swayed uncontrollably. Zhuo Xi immediately slammed on the brakes, the two of them leaned forward suddenly, the car stopped at the crossroads, a motorcycle passed in front of them dangerously, the driver stepped back, yelled at them and then He drove away on his own.

"Yu'er, did you know that what happened just now is very dangerous?" Shang Zhuoxi's tone became a little more serious, and it was fine for her to make a fuss about herself, but her life is at stake.

Xu Yu'er herself was also frightened, she sat back obediently and did not speak anymore.

As soon as she got home, she exploded.

She threw the glove that Shang Zhuoxi handed her to the ground:

"Shang Zhuoxi, what do you mean?" Xu Yuer raised her head and asked with red eyes.

"Yu'er, I'm very sleepy." Shang Zhuoxi's eyes were full of exhaustion, she just wanted to have a good sleep.

"What do I mean by asking you?!", Xu Yu'er didn't care about her, she only wanted an explanation.

"...", Shang Zhuoxi didn't understand what he had done, "What can I mean? Go and rest, okay?"

"Why should I listen to you?" Xu Yu'er's attitude was that she was about to have a big fight with Shang Zhuoxi.

"I prefer you who are more obedient." Shang Zhuoxi took off his coat and said softly, Xu Yu'er's anger could not restrain her at all.

"You always say that I'm not good. If you cared about me a little more, maybe I would listen to you, but Shang Zhuoxi, you don't care about me at all." Xu Yuer cried:

"I can't believe you didn't see how close I am with that man, but you don't even have a little jealousy," Xu Yu'er cried with her shoulders trembling:

"I don't want you to be so 'nice' to me, you just hope that we can be like normal couples, you can have some normal emotions, we should be each other, but I have always been singing a one-man show alone.", Shang Zhuoxi Seeing her cry, he felt a little uncomfortable along with her.

"Yu'er, don't cry, go take a shower and go to bed." Shang Zhuoxi wiped the tears from her face.

With that warm touch still on her face, Xu Yuer immediately opened her hand.

"Don't touch me, Shang Zhuoxi, if you have the ability, take off the gloves for me.", Xu Yu'er started to pull the other party's gloves as she said that, as soon as she touched her hand, Shang Zhuoxi forced her hand Clamping tightly, she was challenging her bottom line.

Shang Zhuoxi's eyes instantly became sharp, her pupils shrank sharply, and the fire in her heart slowly ignited. She tried her best to control it, and said softly as usual:

"I'll count to three, if you make trouble again, Yu'er, I can't guarantee that I will do something that you and I will regret." Shang Zhuoxi is really tired of such endless entanglements and quarrels.

"One," Xu Yu'er didn't listen at all, she used both hands and feet.

"Second," Shang Zhuoxi's eyes were quickly condensed with frost, and the force in his hand was also increasing, Xu Yu'er gradually felt scared.

"...Three!", Shang Zhuoxi let go of the quiet person, the fire in her heart gradually extinguished, and the ice in her eyes receded bit by bit:

"Don't take this as an example, wash up and go to sleep." Shang Zhuoxi left these cold words and went upstairs.

Xu Yuer fell to the ground, her eyes were empty, she began to doubt her choice, she, Xu Yuer, had never been treated so unkindly.

The next day, Shang Zhuoxi confessed to Xu Yuer during her lunch break. Last night, she was afraid that Xu Yuer would run out angrily in the middle of the night. It was really unsafe at night, so Shang Zhuoxi didn't open her mouth. She said:

"Yu'er, you are fine, I am very grateful to you, but we are not suitable to be together." She spoke very lightly and quickly, as if a knife piercing through the body quickly would not hurt.
