Reservoir Dogs

Chapter 38

It was past three o'clock when Fu Jing came home from get off work in the middle of the night. He thought his sister must be asleep, but he didn't expect that when he was downstairs, he could see the light from the window of his house.

He didn't think much about it, and walked back quickly as usual. Before the door opened, he asked first: "Sister, why haven't you slept yet..." He opened the door, and a smell of alcohol came over his face; A strange woman wearing only white suspenders and striped shorts was lying on her back.

Fu Jingsan was taken aback, and then her sister came out of the toilet with a wet towel in her hand: "It's so early today?"

"Who is this? My sister's friend?"

"...No," Fu Jingyi said, walking to the sofa and sitting on a small bench, wiping the woman's face with a towel, "It was when I came back today, she fell down on the side of the road after drinking too much, I'm afraid If something troublesome happened to her, I brought her back..."

"How can you bring a stranger back," he closed the door, his brows twisted into twists, "what if this person is a bad person?"

"She's so drunk..."

"..." Fu Jingsan rolled her eyes, "All right, then let her fall asleep, I don't think she will wake up for a while."

Who knew that before he finished speaking, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, as if she was hitting him in the face.

"You're awake, are you still drunk? I don't have sober medicine at home..." Fu Jing said hastily.

The woman has a pair of slanted eyes, and they are also very big. When she looks at people with vigor, Fu Jingsan feels disgusted when she sees them.He said directly: "When you wake up, go back by yourself. I'll go out and help her get a taxi."

"Sister, it's so late, where can I get a taxi around here?" said the elder sister, looking at the woman, "I saw you were so drunk, so I brought you back, or you can go to sleep before leaving tomorrow. "

The woman looked at her, then at Fu Jingsan, frowned as if having a headache, and said after a long while, "Is there any smoke..."

"No." Fu Jingsan said unhappily.

"If not, then go out and buy." The woman said, looking around looking for clothes, "...I'll give you money, the classic Double Happiness, go buy it."

"Are you sick? My sister kindly picked you up, and you are still playing tricks?" Fu Jingsan said angrily, "Sister, don't worry about this person. You woke up anyway, so hurry up!"

"Hey, don't be noisy, don't be noisy," Fu Jing hurriedly smoothed things over, "Sister, you are tired from get off work just now, go wash up and go to sleep.... I'll buy cigarettes for you."

His sister's bad temper is really a headache. It is impossible for Fu Jingsan to let her go out alone in the middle of the night, so he can only grab the key and turn his head to go out with a irritated face: "...I'll go, you take care of her."

After Fu Jingsan went out, the room was quiet for a while.

The girl rubbed her head, looked at the shabby house, and said, "...Is there any water?"

"Yes," Fu Jingyi said, "Drink something hot, it will make your stomach feel better."

"What's your name," the girl continued, "Would you bring anyone lying on the side of the road with you?"

Fu Jing took the enamel cup, poured hot water out of the thermos, and then poured cold water back and forth, touching the cup wall to test the temperature a little bit: "...I was afraid that you would not be safe by yourself, so I wanted to send you back, but You fell asleep before... My name is Fu Jingyi, the 'one' of 'one two three'."

"That was your brother just now?"

"Yes."

"Your brother won't be called Fu Jinger?"

"Haha, my brother's name is Jing San." She handed the cup to the girl, "What's your name?"

"..." The girl looked at her, raised her hand weakly, and took a sip before saying, "Call me Ye Zi."

What Ye Zi hates the most in her life is nosy good people, especially the kind who want to help with everything.But in front of Fu Jingyi, she was smiling kindly and kindly, and her appearance was inexplicably pleasing; the mouthful of warm water just relieved the discomfort in her stomach just right, just like Fu Jingyi, it came too timely.

Ye Zi didn't thank her, and Fu Jingyi didn't mind, she sat down beside her and said, "Are you drinking there alone? It's still not safe to be alone. It's better to call a few friends next time."

"That's my job."

"Work……?"

Ye Zi said: "Are you playing in 'Lehe' today?"

"Yes, I accompany my boyfriend..."

"I'm the liquor salesman of 'Lehe'." Just as Ye Zi finished speaking, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Forget it, it's not sales, I just drink with customers."

"Accompany...guests...to drink?"

As soon as Fu Jing thought of that kind of business as a matter of course, he stuttered when he spoke.

Ye Zi caught a glimpse of her expression from the corner of her eye, and suddenly leaned in front of her, almost kissing her: "Why, I feel sick because I brought a chicken back? Or are you afraid that I will infect you with some disease?"

She had never seen such a posture before, and was instantly frightened by Ye Zi and backed away.

Ye Zi has big eyes, a pointed chin, and a small cherry mouth. Needless to say, she looks beautiful, and her aura is even stronger; the more she retreats, the more Ye Zi advances, until her back is against the cold wall, and there is no way to retreat: "I, I didn't mean that..."

"Pfft..." Suddenly, Ye Zi laughed, "Just to tease you, it's to accompany the guests to drink, let him drink to his heart's content, and he will buy wine...Alcohol sales are serious."

She finally backed away, drank two more sips of water, and said, "You should be about my age, right? What do you do?"

"Ah, I sell clothes in the mall..."

"That's considered a sale," Ye Zi said, "Going together."

"But it's hard work for you, you have to drink so much alcohol, it's not good for your health..."

"Make money, how can you not work hard."

Ye Zi has a bad temper. Except for smiling when she wants to make money, she is flammable and explosive at other times.But Fu Jingyi had a magical power, which made her subconsciously soften her tone, and even chatted with this woman she just met.

"...Do you still have my mobile phone? Give me your number." Ye Zi stretched her waist and said while taking her coat, "Tomorrow or two days later, I will treat you to dinner and repay you for picking me up. .”

Ye Zi just took out the phone, and Fu Jingsan opened the door and came in.

With a sullen face, he threw the cigarettes he bought on the coffee table when he entered the door without saying a word.

Ye Zi glanced at him, stretched out his hand to pick it up, and turned his head to speak to Fu Jingsan, and the corners of his mouth started to rise again: "Are you working late tomorrow, then I will pick you up at ten o'clock... I remember that the mall closes at ten o'clock, you should be there Is it time to get off work?"

Fu Jingsan looked down on women like Ye Zi - she was drunk outside with heavy makeup, and she came to their house and asked for cigarettes, so she didn't look like a good thing.

But his elder sister has no friends at all, and she was working part-time when her peers were studying, so even if she wanted to have friends, it was difficult.Seeing Ye Zi talking happily with his sister, Fu Jingsan felt that drinking and smoking was fine, as long as he was a nice person.

His sister should also have a friend, instead of just him and that bastard Liu Zekai in her life.

In the end, Ye Zi didn't sleep in the living room, but slept on her sister's small bed.

Their relationship has improved visibly with the naked eye. Ye Zi will come to the door every three days, and will bring snacks. When he is in a good mood, he will bring some to Fu Jingsan.His elder sister often goes shopping with Ye Zi in her spare time, and sometimes she will call Fu Jingsan to go with her.Every time he could only follow behind like a bodyguard, but he still couldn't refuse his sister's invitation.

On the other hand, he thought Zhang Qiankun was talking about it casually, and the night market business he just listened to casually actually had some clues.When receiving Zhang Qiankun's call, Fu Jingsan was shopping with his sister and Ye Zi, Ye Zi was in charge of buying, his sister was in charge of reference, and he was in charge of carrying bags.

"……Hey?"

As soon as he came next, Zhang Qiankun's excited voice came out: "Wow third brother! I have good news!"

Fu Jingsan held the bag and replied without energy: "Ah, say."

"I'm thinking about doing business! Do you still remember the nightclub owner I said I knew?" Zhang Qiankun said, "I've already talked to him briefly, and he thinks it's completely OK!! Are you free now, I'll come I'm looking for you, third brother, let's find a place to eat and chat..."

"I'm shopping with my sister..." Fu Jingsan wanted to tell the truth casually, but after thinking about it, it's okay to go shopping with Zhang Qiankun, so he changed his mouth and said, "It's nothing, where are you? I came to see you?"

As he spoke, he looked towards the store where his sister and Ye Zi were, and glanced at the escalator next to him.

——Tan Xin and his friends are slowly going up.

Fu Jingsan was startled for a moment, then subconsciously turned around and avoided, listening to Tan Xin and his friend chatting and passing by behind him.

"How many days are you coming back this time, when will you leave?"

"...Let's leave after school starts," Tan Xin's voice sounded lacklustre, "It's fine anyway."

"Your boyfriend didn't accompany you back?"

"He went to Australia," Tan Xin said, "but even if he didn't go out, he wouldn't come back here. He wasn't a local either..."

As the voice gradually faded away, Fu Jingsan's tense body also gradually relaxed.

Zhang Qiankun said a few words on the other end of the phone, anyway, he didn't hear a word: "...Third brother, hello third brother, are you listening? Is the signal not good..."

"...What you just said, say it again." Fu Jingsan said weakly.

"I said I'm at home, shall we have dinner together later?"

"Where do you want to go to eat? If you think about it, send me a text message and let me know. Hang up."

He didn't expect to meet Tan Xin here at all. He should be studying in a foreign university with his first love.But soon Fu Jingsan realized that it was late June, and some universities were already on vacation - the last time he saw Huo Yunjiang was actually a year ago.

The frequency with which he thought of Huo Yunjiang did not drop, time was running so fast that he couldn't even forget it in time.

And Tan Xin and Huo Yunjiang are still together, as can be heard from the description just now.Apart from saying true love, Fu Jingsan couldn't think of any other description.

He was a little confused, as if he had returned to the morning when he waited all night. He saw the backs of Huo Yunjiang and Tan Xin, and he gritted his teeth in anger but did nothing or said anything.Now he's gone from the anger he had then, and he doesn't feel nauseous anymore... just the heavy discomfort that just keeps on increasing.

"Jing San...?"

"Huh?" He came to his senses in a hurry, and his sister was standing in front of a women's clothing store waving to him, "Here we come."
