Volume 1: Die with Unclosed Eyes 32. Chance Encounter with Pan Jinlian

The fluorescent light in the room shines on a person's face, and logically, it should reflect white light or a layer of oily color. Why is it dark?

At first I thought it was a problem of angle, but when I changed several angles, the color of his forehead was still coal gray.

This is really strange. Is there a small black hole on his forehead that sucks all the light in?

Li Zhao had no idea what I was thinking. He took out a cigarette and said, "I'm not bragging this time. No girls in school want to date me, but the girl I found this time is pretty. I may not have good fortune, but I do have good luck in love."

"Stop bragging. Do you think you can trick a pretty girl with your mouth?" I said with a smile.

"Don't be so unconvinced." He took out his wallet, pulled out a photo, and handed it to me, saying, "What do you think of my girlfriend?"

The photo was taken by the Huangpu River. A girl in a white dress was leaning on him with a bright smile on her face.

This girl couldn't be called a beauty, but she was indeed "quite attractive" in appearance. She had an extremely high-resolution oval face, a chin so sharp that it could almost knock a hole in a wooden board, very fair skin, willow-shaped eyebrows, a straight nose, and a mouth that was just the right size. The only thing that made me feel a little uncomfortable was her eyes.

The girl had a pair of narrow almond-shaped eyes and an oval face that looked too "seductive". She didn't look like a "good wife" at all.

Of course, I also know that you can't judge a person by his appearance, and it doesn't mean that a woman with a charming appearance is necessarily fickle.

After I handed the photo back to him, I said, "This girl is pretty. Where did you meet her?"

"You have to admit that I'm very lucky, right?" Li Zhao said with a smug smile on his face.

I know this guy too well. He has been thinking about finding a partner since high school, but he didn't succeed until he graduated from college.

To be fair, Li Zhao is not ugly, with an above-average figure and looks. His most fatal weakness in pursuing girls is his psychological problem. No one knows why, but Li Zhao, who usually speaks fluently, stutters whenever he talks to girls. Of course, it's okay to talk to girls he is very familiar with, but as long as he talks to girls he is not familiar with, he will "stutter" for a long time without saying a word. Moreover, the prettier the girl, the more frequently he "stutters". Sometimes he even rolls his eyes and can't say a word.

Because of this problem, Li Zhao has become the topic of conversation among all the girls in the grade since the first day I met him. If someone is in a bad mood, as long as someone imitates the way Li Zhao speaks in front of her, the girl will definitely calm down after a burst of laughter.

How can such a person find a girlfriend?

He hasn't changed this bad habit until today. How could he have dated such a beautiful girl?

I couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Did your stuttering scare people away?"

"This is called a match made in heaven. I don't know why, but when I met Xiaoqing, I didn't stutter at all and spoke so fluently." Li Zhao said proudly.

I asked curiously, "You think you can fix this problem after almost ten years of not changing it?"

"I find it strange, but that's the truth. The first time I met her, she spoke very fluently, and she still has no problem speaking to this day."

"Talking to another woman? Is that okay too?"

"No, I still stutter when talking to other women, so this is my fate with Xiaoqing." I couldn't help but feel curious. Who is this Xiaoqing? She actually has the ability to make Li Zhao heal himself. I have to meet her.

So I said, "Then have a meal with your cousin and meet your beautiful girlfriend at the same time." Li Zhao couldn't stop smiling.

At five o'clock, the two homeowners arrived on time, signed the contract, and began to arrange the construction tasks. After everything was settled, I suddenly thought of Sisi, so I went home early to surf the Internet, but Sisi was not online. I left her a message and started playing "Legend of Mir 2". I forgot the time when I started playing the online game. When I was pulled back to the real world by a QQ sound, I saw that it was already past one in the morning.

The one who replied to me was Sisi. She sent me three "kiss" emojis to express her surprise to see me.

"Are you in Shanghai now?" I asked.

"Yes, I came back after the seventh day of my child's death . Now I work as a clerk in a friend's company."

"So late on the internet?"

"Yeah, a friend of mine had a birthday and went out to the bar and just got back now. How are you? I'm still on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, so it's not convenient for me to wish you a happy new year. Don't blame me, right?"

I smiled and typed, "Why blame you? It's just that you know the etiquette."

"Yes, thank you so much for helping me."

"Don't be polite. It's fate that we are together. Otherwise, the person you found that night wouldn't be me."

"Yes, I'll treat you to a meal after I get my salary this month."

"Okay, tell me two days in advance. Normally, if someone treats me to a meal, I'll starve myself for two days."

Sisi laughed a few times and said, "Then I'm going to bed. I have to get up early for work tomorrow."

After logging off, I thought about what happened with that girl that night, especially her naked body pressed tightly against me. I still remember that feeling clearly, and I feel very excited when I think about it now. It would be pretentious to say that I didn’t feel anything, but at that time I really didn’t feel anything at all. I was just scared .

It seems that I am still not as lucky as Li Zhaoqiang. This guy's natural stuttering when seeing women was cured without any treatment, but I was naked with Sisi and we didn't have any sex.

What else is there to say? Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel nauseous .

After sleeping until dawn, I didn't go to the company immediately. I went to meet some old contacts first, hoping to continue the shopping mall decoration business. After all, the limelight has passed for a long time, and those who are staring at me must have relaxed their vigilance long ago. However, although these people spoke very politely, no one could give a real answer. I knew very well in my heart that it was not because they were worried about causing trouble, but because my father no longer had the position, and they didn't need to give this face anymore.

This is the real world. I couldn't help but feel disheartened and completely gave up the idea of working in shopping mall decoration.

In the evening, Li Zhao's girlfriend came to the company to have dinner with us. The girl was even prettier in person than in the photo, and Li Zhao no longer stuttered. So the three of us took a taxi to the Huangpu River and had barbecue at an open-air bar on the riverbank.

Although it was early spring, the temperature by the river was still relatively low. We didn't drink beer, but ordered a few bottles of white wine and ate barbecued skewers.

Although Xiaoqing is a girl with a delicate figure, she can drink a lot of alcohol. She can drink a whole glass of white wine in one gulp. I have been doing business for many years and can drink quite a bit, so we started drinking. After a while, we drank two bottles of white wine. She was fine, but I drank too much and couldn't stand it anymore. I got up and went to the toilet. I originally wanted to vomit, but I couldn't hold it in halfway, so I turned around and rushed into a flower bed along the street with dense bushes and vomited violently.

I felt better after vomiting everything in my stomach. I wiped my mouth and just stepped out of the flower garden when I heard a burst of shrill giggles, the sound was so sharp that it was even a little piercing.

I knew it was Xiaoqing without even looking. Not only were her eyes charming, but her laugh was also charming.

"Brother Yu, we've only had a few drinks, and you're not going to compete?"

"I admire you, heroine. With your drinking capacity, few men can drink more than you."

"Hey, why should I ask you to be convinced? It's just a drink, it's not a big deal."

I smiled and said, "It's a skill for a woman to be able to drink."

She laughed again and said, "Even if that's the case, I have other skills. Do you want to try them?"

My heart skipped a beat when I heard this. What did she mean?

If such a beautiful and coquettish woman wasn't my brother's girlfriend, I would definitely be willing to pick her up. I'm not a saint. Being Liu Xiahui is great, but being a traitor is either a homosexual or a loser. But she is my best friend's girlfriend, and how long have they known each other? At most, it's less than a month.

I didn't want Li Zhao to be cuckolded, so even though I had no intention of getting along with her, I still pretended to test her, "For example?"

"For example?" She smiled and said, "For example, my vagina is delicious." I was secretly furious. This slut is even more shameless than Pan Jinlian.
