At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

So what kind of musical instrument would develop calluses with this distribution?

This is so hard to guess.

It must be Bass.

[Second-round fingering, third-round fingering.]

Su Che narrowed his eyes and looked at the drunk and aggrieved woman in front of him again.

“I said.”

"Hmm?"

"Ms. Jiang mentioned earlier that she has developed some hobbies. I'd like to know what those hobbies are? Is it alright if I tell you?"

His expression was calm, and he remained clear-headed.

"Of course you can say that."

Jiang Nai's breath reeked of alcohol, mixed with the wicked scent of perfume, as she exclaimed, "It's about music!"

"music?"

"Yeah, yeah! A lot of the celebrities I do makeup for actually have concerts, so I talk to the professional instructors there, and hehe, over time, I even learned a musical instrument~"

Her eyes flickered, as if she was deliberately avoiding some key topic.

"I see."

Su Che didn't ask any more questions, but simply nodded slightly, "As for me, I also know a little about musical instruments."

Wow~ Xiao Che, you're so amazing!

The enthusiastic praise did not elicit the same reaction as when the person first learned of it.

Su Che became even more alert, and said with a smile, "It's alright. If you ask me, Miss Jiang's ability to travel back and forth between Beijing and Tianhai is truly impressive."

"Oh no, I didn't..."

"Why did you come to Tianhai this time? Is it a business trip?"

"Uh, uh... yes, yes. I came here for work, but mainly to see a friend. So I just happened to drop by and see Xiao Che..."

Jiang Nai changed the subject, "Who knew Xiao Che would be so cold? He begged you to let him stay overnight... Waaah."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely do it next time, I'll definitely do it next time."

Su Che replied dismissively, "But whether I'm there or not is uncertain."

"…hateful."

Enraged, Jiang Nai grabbed his arm and, with lightning speed—

I took a bite.

"???"

A row of teeth marks and lip prints were clearly visible.

Su Che's eyes widened in disbelief; she never expected her to do something like this.

"Hmph, I'll teach you a lesson so you'll remember me."

Hearing her smug and mischievous laugh, Su Che felt a headache coming on.

"Assaulting staff is punishable by a fine of 10,000 yuan, Ms. Jiang. Since I didn't bleed this time, I'll let you off the hook for now."

"No, it's okay if you don't let me go, or you can bite me too, I'll totally accept it~"

Jiang Nai was clearly drunk. With a wicked grin, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her snow-white arm to his eyes.

Su Che narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed faint lipstick marks on the back of her arm.

She asked, "What are these? Did you forget to wipe off the makeup you were trying on?"

"Uh-huh."

As if electrocuted, she pulled up her sleeves.

The reaction is concerning.

That evasive look, as if he had made a mistake, was not an act.

Su Che raised his head and looked at her small face.

Capturing a hint of unspoken words beneath the perfect mask, complex emotions welled up but remained stuck somewhere.

……

"Miss Jiang."

"Ok?"

"It's getting late. It's been six hours."

"Ah."

"Going home?"

"Um…"

"I feel like you haven't had enough fun."

"It's...it's alright."

"But I'm leaving get off work now."

"Okay..."

Her disappointed expression seemed to convey that the nomination had not met her expectations.

However, her raised hand landed on the stop button of the stopwatch, bringing Su Che's clocking to a successful close.

My own desires exceeded what money could provide.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Che."

For some reason, the sudden change in expression and the tone of knowing the ending made Su Che feel a little heartbroken.

This heartache wasn't out of pity for the guest, but rather a kind of—

"The feeling of something breaking."

Su Che narrowed his eyes, looking at the swaying Jiang Nai.

asked:

"Can I still go home?"

"Yes, I'm staying at a friend's house tonight, it's nearby."

"is it?"

"What, are you going to give me a ride?"

"OK."

"Wow, Xiao Che, is that so nice?"

Jiang Nai smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile. "No need to trouble you. If you can't come inside with me, then it doesn't count as a delivery in my eyes."

"..."

"That's settled then. Xiao Che, mua."

Take the opportunity to gently tap it on the cheek—

Jiang Nai picked up her bag, staggered to the bar, and swiped her card.

"Ugh……"

Su Che rubbed his face helplessly, then got up and followed her to the front of the stage.

"Xiao Che, that's enough for now. I'm leaving. I'll fly over to see you again next time. Gray Gray."

Under the dim, ambiguous light, Jiang Nai moved dejectedly downstairs.

Su Che's expression gradually hardened.

"How was your day? Nothing much happened to you guys, right?"

Just as Ningning was about to ask, she saw him shake his head, stopping her from speaking:

"I'm going downstairs for a bit, I'll be back in a bit."

"Oh, good."

The proprietress watched him leave, following behind someone else's retreating figure, and knew in her heart that she was now facing a terrible karmic consequence.

……

Since Jiang Nai claimed that her friend's house was nearby,

Su Che followed her at a distance to ensure she got home safely and wasn't picked up by anyone.

She leaned against the corner of the wall and vomited.

Her side bangs were styled in strands, obscuring her beautiful face.

Wearing strappy sandals, she shuffled forward, inching along.

Move it to the front of the storage table.

The mailing password has been entered.

Although I typed it wrong twice

But the huge storage cabinet at the bottom still clicked shut.

The lock clicked open.

Jiang Nai bent down with difficulty.
